The Live Chapter 1

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]

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.

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.

Darren, a man who does delivery job to assist his girlfriend in college, got dumped by her at her graduation party. He was treated like trash and got set up in his job, and that made him totally shattered. Just as he was completely devastated, some suit men who had been searching for him for months came to take him away to their boss, and the boss is the president of the number one world leading Group, the Engand Group. The boss said he looked like the only son he had, who died a few years ago. The boss needed a son to bear his name because he didn't have much time to live, so he offered all of his wealth to Darren in exchange for his name. There was a secret behind having his name, and Darren was prepared for it because he would do anything to get out of the poor caliber. Now, he is no longer the trash they used to know; he is now the lastest billionaire over night!

Olivia Fordham was married to Ethan Miller for three years, but that time could not compare with the ten years he spent loving his first love, Marina Carlton. On the day that she gets diagnosed with stomach cancer, Ethan happens to be accompanying Marina to her children's health check-up. She doesn't make any kind of fuss, only leaving quietly with the divorce agreement. However, this attracts an even more fervent retribution. It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, "This is what your family owes me." Now, she has no family and no future. Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. "The life my family owes will now be repaid." At this, Ethan, who's usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he's in a state of frenzy …

They called him a cripple. They called him a servant. They called him the most worthless man alive. Alex Vex has no magic. In a world defined by flashy elemental spells and cultivation ranks, he is forced to live as the disposable, live-in son-in-law to the prestigious Lin family—a necessary evil to shame their talented daughter, Lin Mei. To humiliate him further, they enroll him in the Silverpeak Battle Academy, expecting him to be crushed in the lowest tier, Class F. What they don't know is that Alex is not a man of this world. He is Subject 001—the last functioning super-soldier, the "Man-Made God" from the long-dead Aethelian Empire—a civilization that mastered physics, bio-engineering, and kinetic efficiency far beyond this world’s petty magic. When a Level 50 Fire Dragon attacks the campus, the mages scream and prepare their grandest spells. Alex? He sees a flawed biological weapon with seven weak points and a ninety-second expiry date. The world believes they are preparing to sacrifice their useless son-in-law. Alex is simply waiting for them to show him their necks.

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 >

“I’m major Kaelen, I live in this forest before you, this is my kingdom, and I will take you all down one after the other. Look closely at the ground beneath your boots, soldiers. That soil is already hungry. You arrived here thinking you were an army. You are just meat walking into a larder. You do not command this space; the shadows command you, and I am the hand that guides them. I will not fight your formations. I will bleed you drop by drop. Your patrols will disappear without a whisper. Your sentries will wake up finding the razor edge of my knife where their breath used to be. Go ahead, try to advance. You will find that retreat is impossible, surrender is irrelevant, and the only mercy you will receive is the speed of my strike. You will die lost, you will die afraid, and you will die remembering the sound of my name echoing through the impenetrable darkness. This is not a war you are fighting. This is an execution you insisted upon.”

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?
