The Origin's Vessel

The Premise The world as we knew it is gone, shattered by a sudden and brutal global invasion. Entities from another realm—Demons and Spiritual Beings—have descended upon Earth, turning it into a battlefield where humanity is the prey. But this isn't a game. There are no "systems," no leveling screens, and no second chances. In *The Origin Vessel*, survival is earned through raw skill, advanced technology, and the dangerous mastery of otherworldly energies. The Story At the center of this storm is **Leo**, a young man who has become the host for **Nova**, an "Origin" being of immense power. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with, but their journey is fraught with peril. As the host of the Origin Vessel, Leo must navigate a world where the top-ranking "Harbingers" of the demon world—ancient, overpowered beings who can level entire bases with a single word—are hunting for those who can oppose them. Leo is joined by a cast of survivors, each fighting their own battles: 1. Lyla: The fierce and tactical commander of Base 105, struggling to protect her people while mastering a demonic scythe of pure aura. 2. Jane: A sword prodigy whose "Combat IQ" and precision allow her to perform feats that defy human limits. 3. Annie: A technical genius who bridges the gap between human science and spiritual energy, forging the weapons humanity needs to fight back. 4. Rin: A banished demon girl with a tragic past and a mysterious, "unshattered" family heirloom, seeking a place where she truly belongs. Core Themes 1. Hardcore Action & Theory: Every battle is a high-stakes tactical encounter. The story explores the deep "theory" behind spiritual and demonic energy, focusing on how these powers interact with the physical laws of Earth. 2. Overpowered Stakes: The villains are truly terrifying entities who have lived for centuries. The gap between human and demon is immense, making every victory feel hard-won and every loss devastating. 3. Emotional Depth: Beyond the explosions and sword-clashes, the story is grounded in the emotional toll of war—the trauma of lost homes, the weight of leadership, and the bonds of found family in a world that is crumbling. 4. The Mystery of the Origins: Why did the invasion happen? Who is the "Missing Angel"? And what is the true purpose of the Origin Vessel? Conclusion *The Origin Vessel* is an epic saga of a world under siege. It is a story for readers who love high-stakes fantasy, technical combat, and a narrative that isn't afraid to be both brutal and deeply human. As the Harbingers close in and the secrets of the Celestial Realm are revealed, Leo and his allies must decide how much of their humanity they are willing to sacrifice to save their world.

Love Across the Light Years -The Devil CEO Indulges My Lies.

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs, making her stiffen. When she looked down to check, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.

I became the villainess and married the cold duke

“~Author note: First time writing long story — thank you for patience while I learn and improve!~” "So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by the man she loved, I thought death was the end. Instead, I woke up inside a novel. Not as the heroine. Not as a side character. But as Seraphina Helene Valemont—the villainess destined to be executed for treason by her own husband, Duke Draven Everfrost. Armed with knowledge of the original story, survival should have been easy. Avoid mistakes. Avoid enemies. Avoid the Duke. But the story refuses to stay the same. The Duke who was supposed to despise me begins protecting me… for reasons I don’t understand. Events I know by heart begin to change. Secrets buried for decades begin to surface. And the future I relied on becomes less reliable with every passing day. As political conspiracies threaten the empire and old legends refuse to stay buried, I find myself caught between a fate I desperately want to escape… and a man I was never supposed to trust. But the deeper I dig into this world, the more terrifying one question becomes: What if the most dangerous thing in this story was never the villainess? Because some monsters are not born. Some monsters choose to chain themselves. And some names should have remained forgotten.

Help! I Do Not Want to Guide a Disaster

“Everything is loud, Zhi’er,” Xinyuan murmured, voice low. “It’s only quiet when you touch me.” °° In his past life, Shen Ran was a hitman forced into the underworld by crushing debt after borrowing money to pay for his mother’s cancer treatment. Even after years of bloodshed, it wasn’t enough. She died anyway. On the night of his final job, just as he thought he would finally be free, Shen Ran was betrayed and shot in the head by his own boss. He expected death. Instead, he woke up in the body of Lin Wenzhi. A minor, forgettable character in a guideverse BL novel he had read the night before. A cannon fodder. A B-rank guide who appeared only three times and died the third. In this world, rifts tear open the sky, monsters pour through, and humanity survives through Espers and Guides. But the story doesn’t end in salvation. It ends in destruction. Because the male lead, a Disaster-Class Esper, eventually loses control and wipes out the entire universe. Knowing this, Shen Ran makes a simple decision. As Lin Wenzhi, he will stay out of the plot, avoid the main characters drama, and live quietly for as long as possible. Eat. Sleep. Work less. Survive. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. During a compatibility test, Lin Wenzhi is matched with the most dangerous Esper alive. Shao Xinyuan. Compatibility: 107%. The original protagonist’s compatibility? 97%. Which should have been enough. But Shao Xinyuan doesn’t care. He chooses Lin Wenzhi. Now, the cannon fodder who wanted nothing to do with the story is bound to the man destined to destroy it. And worse, Shao Xinyuan isn’t letting him go. ***** Cover created by KiXxX

The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

They call him Ghost. A name spoken in fear through warzones, underground syndicates, and the darkest corners of the black market. To the world, he is a phantom. A faceless mercenary who leaves behind nothing except bloodshed and silence. To his enemies, he is death itself. To the operatives of Graveyard, he is one of their own. Family forged through war. But to himself… he is only a broken man chasing fragments of a past stolen by bullets, fire, and smoke. After completing another flawless mission deep within the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base that has been his home for seventeen years. Yet the calm lasts only moments before his foster father and commander gives him an order he never expected. “That was your final mission.” Now Ghost, whose real name is Miles Sterling, must leave behind the battlefield and step into a normal world he barely understands. Armed with nothing except an old letter, fading childhood memories, and the voice of a mother he has not seen since the day his life was torn apart. But war did not only shape his body and soul. Behind the mask, beneath the scars, Miles hides another truth. A secret buried from even the men who fought beside him. He is not merely a weapon created by war. He is a ghost who built a fortune in silence. A hidden empire stretching across borders, corporations, black markets, and shadows. A man known by many names. A man followed by countless secrets. Beneath the violence, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is finally ready to uncover it… one memory, one enemy, and one letter at a time.

Extra's Sign In System: The Hero's an Idiot!

I died on the battlefield with a bullet in my lungs, only to wake up strapped to a freezing metal table with a fanatic priest aiming a rusted scalpel squarely at my manhood. Apparently, I had transmigrated into the world of "Hunter Odyssey", a trashy modern fantasy novel I read during my last military deployment. Worse? I was not the protagonist. I was Draven Mordis, a disposable orphan extra captured by a dark cult, destined to be castrated and turned into a brainwashed, lobotomized pawn in the prologue. Meanwhile, the actual "Hero" of this world, Neville Hennesy, is a naive, self-righteous idiot. I am a Commander. I do not play games. War is about efficiency, survival, and eliminating threats permanently. Just as the cultist's blade descends to claim my future, a translucent blue screen shatters the darkness.

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

Struggling to awaken his family’s bloodline talents and the warrior potential his family expects of him, Alex is sent off to a Mage Tower. His fate is clear: forge a path for himself... or lose everything. Blending the system engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him... RuneTech Magic. From runic artificial Intelligence to interplanar communication networks; From rune-powered super soldiers to rune-crafted power armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to perpetual energy. With this marriage of science, technology and the arcane, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one. This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy. Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history. Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.
