The Live Chapter 1

When ex-CIA agent Ethan Cross wakes up to news that he’s the most wanted man in America, accused of assassinating a U.S. senator, he knows he’s been set up. On the run, he discovers that the killing is just one piece of a much larger puzzle—one involving a secret organization called The Dominion, which has infiltrated governments and corporations worldwide. Their weapon? The Sentinel Program, an AI-driven neural implant capable of controlling minds. With every law enforcement agency hunting him, Ethan’s only chance is to find Dr. Evelyn Carter, the neuroscientist who unknowingly helped build the program. But Evelyn is also a target—because she holds the final encryption key that could either activate or destroy the program. As Ethan and Evelyn navigate deadly betrayals, high-tech warfare, and shocking revelations, they realize they are not just fighting for their own lives, but for the future of free will itself. The clock is ticking. The Sentinel Program goes live in seven days. If they fail, the world will no longer belong to the people—but to the silent dominion that controls them.

Have you ever experienced the crushing weight of humiliation so heavy that it makes you contemplate taking your own life? If you haven't, count yourself lucky, because it's not a feeling anyone would want to experience, let alone brag about. Meet Kelvin, a college student whose financial struggles are no secret. Despite feeling like the world is against him, he finds solace in his girlfriend Vanessa, or at least he did until her birthday party. When he arrived with nothing to offer but his love, she not only broke up with him but also subjected him to public ridicule. The pain of such a betrayal and public humiliation can leave a lasting impact on one's mental health and self-worth. He had grown accustomed to enduring the constant harassment from her and others, but today it reached a new level of cruelty. As he ran home, tears streaming down his face, he was so consumed by his emotions that he didn't see the curb ahead. He tripped and fell, hitting his head hard on the pavement. When he finally regained consciousness, he heard a faint voice calling out to him. ** ** ** "Host detected!!! Beauties picking system activated in 1%..." a computerized voice said out of the blues. "Who's there?" Kevin asked. "10%...89%...100%... system uploaded." It continued. It took a moment and he realized it was coming from his head. Kevin was scared that he was going mad. "Who are you? What are you?" he demanded, holding his head in his hands but then suddenly it spoke again. "Now find a beauty and make her fall in love with you in 72 hours," it said.

Two more years was all that Austin needed, to wash up all of Ariel's agony and bring her to fame just like she had always wanted.. A family's tradition that laid him into the street to live the life of an ordinary man, Austin found love on this street. Or maybe a group of people that just wanted what he could bring to the table. Ariel eventually served him a divorce agreement, breaking him into shreds. Even though he had established the family's company, as the company grew, they never ceased to treat him like trash. He was out of their League now, even though he was the only reason that they had progressed during the course of the years. His name only paves ways for them. And when Austin thought that it was all over, he received a call from his father, his voice sprinkled with urgency. The family wanted him back. Even though it was two years before the date that was proposed and now, Austin is back to his fame.

What would you do if one day, monsters appeared in your world? Will you fight to save someone? Perhaps you will fight for your life? Tejasv, a common man, faced a similar situation when monsters appeared in his home. They killed his mother, the only person in his family. Out of rage, he kills the monsters brutally. Suddenly, a voice enters his ears: Beep! Beep! ==== [Congratulations! You are qualified to live in this new world.] [You have gained territory. Fight others and build your territory stronger.] == == A system screen appears and gives skills to all humans. It encourages people to fight and invade. Now the world is being invaded by monsters and other races. Humans are forced to fight and defend their territories as lords or as subordinates of someone strong. Now, what would Tejasv do to survive? Maybe he will find a strong lord or gather strong subordinates. Will he become prey, hunter, or conqueror?

I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires. I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what a food chain!). But all is good. No matter what I shall not alli myself to degenerate into a heartless monster who only knew how to tear flesh, spill blood and break bones. I cannot allow my desires to pull me down. I cannot be corrupted by the abyss! My name is Daniel Stark and what I'm about to tell you is a real life horror. I don't know what you call horror or romance or fa Intasy but this story I'm about to tell you, you need to listen attentively and not miss a bit of information. This is my story—one beginning with pain.

Humans were living peacefully on Earth for millions and millions of years until the day unknown monsters who called themselves Sulckers, invaded them from beyond space. They were fast, ruthless, and cruel monsters ready to claim earth realm for themselves. Humans were being slaughtered mercilessly by the seconds and civilization came crumbling in the face of the invaders. However, just when humans were on the verge of going extinct and nonexistent, a heaven-sent phenomenon occurred. A small group of humans with awoken special abilities came to light and shared their abilities to the world. Teleportation, fire manipulation, water manipulation, monstrous strength that could move mountains; humans had finally gained the power to fight back. With the combined effort of the small group of humans, the Sulckers were pushed back to their planet, and humanity once again regained control over their planet. Though the battle ended there, the war was not. This war had created many orphans, and among them, Erix had lost everything, even his parents at a tender age. And the only thing he had received from their death was a pale-looking necklace. He was bullied every day at school because of how weak and abilityless he was. However, once the necklace was finally activated, Erix was granted a system, and his whole life was turned around. He completed quest after quest and became more powerful, until one day the system gave him a weird quest he wasn’t sure he could complete. [New quest received] [Control your uncontrollable thirst for human blood. Abstain from human blood, but during this time your HP would keep decreasing by -1HP/1 hour. Quest will be marked complete once you have lost all your HP]

Note: There's Harem in this story. Rejected, due to being an human in the land of elves, Kevin was banished and casted into the river the very day he was born. But fate said he would live as he was rescued by the very person who casted him into the river. Every mage when they reach the age sixteen were told to attend the mage academy and Kevin, the abandoned human who had overheard the conversation of some students, got excited to attend this academy. He asked from his guardian if he could attend the academy but unfortunately, he was denied, all because of him being an human and not an Elf. At that moment, he became angry and had locked himself up in his guardian's workshop, that was a room full of all types of magical items. But while in the room, Xin had spotted a golden ring that instantly glowed as soon as it touched his bloody fingers. Surprisingly, he was given a system that granted him the opportunity to be an Elf. But what he discovered was that, he wasn't just an elf but a fairy and also an human. < New Quest > < Find the lost Diamond crystal of the Supreme goddess, that is hidden in the secret cave of the academy > < You have 90 days to find the crystal >

"That's a check for one million dollars. Take it and leave. Perhaps reunite with your mistress and live a lavish life." With red-rimmed eyes, Caroline slammed the check against August's chest. For over three years, she had been married to a cripple, yet all he did was bring her pain. He refused to tell her where he disappeared every month or explain the missing money. Perhaps the rumors were true. August looked at his devastated wife but couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth, not yet. For her safety, she had to remain in the dark. Three years ago, after fighting a brutal war, he was ambushed in a weakened state, leaving him crippled and deemed useless. But August refused to accept a fate bound to a wheelchair. As Caroline stormed away, his Qi surged and for the first time in years, he stood on his own. Now, not only would he make his enemies kneel, but he would also protect his wife from the very family that sought to strip her of everything she owned.
