The Live Chapter 1

In a civilization ruled entirely by Beast Tamers, social status, political authority, wealth, and survival are all determined by the spirit beast one awakens during the sacred Day of Summoning. Weak beasts condemn people to lives of humiliation. Legendary beasts create kings. Divine beasts shape empires. Jesse Fletcher, a poor orphan from the slums of Ashveil City, dreams of escaping the misery that has suffocated his life for years. But on the Day of Summoning, his awakening becomes the greatest humiliation in the city's history. While noble heirs summon terrifying elemental dragons, celestial wolves, and ancient war beasts, Jesse awakens a dying creature rejected by the system itself—a malformed black beast covered in broken golden chains. The elite call it a defect. The priests declare it cursed. The academy brands it worthless. They force Jesse to either destroy it or live forever as the city's shame. But Jesse refuses. Unknown to the world, the creature is not a defect. It is a sealed primordial entity erased from history after the Ancient Beast Wars. A forbidden existence capable of devouring evolution itself.

Alex is killed when he tries to protect his wife, who unknown to him, is in league with the gangsters attacking them, and even in love with their leader. The gangster forces her to have sex with him with Alex watching before they kill him and burn his body, and when his soul goes to the Underworld, he asks for his life back. Hades grants it to him because Zeus and Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, have also pleaded as he is the last of the latter's line and heir to the ancient throne, but on his own terms. That he will be half human, will be unable to die, and would need to fight in wars before he can find the Seal that will give him a body again. Alex accepts all this without thinking twice, only to see that he's been tricked. With his system and his guide, Maia, set in another world, will Alex become human again and get his revenge, or will he remain in his half metal body and be punished with the condition of having to live forever in it?

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.

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]

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.

Earth was unveiled as the arena for the 819th season of the Game of Gods. The city of Jakarta, where Freza lived, was immediately overrun by hundreds of Goblin Lords, and the air turned toxic (Survival Mode). A blue System screen appeared before everyone's eyes, commanding: “Survival Quest 1: Kill a Goblin within 3 hours or your heart will be crushed.” Many began to panic, searched for weapons, and died tragically. However, Freza sat calmly with a calculator. Instead of choosing the 'Warrior' or 'Mage' class, Freza found an optional "Report Policy Non-Compliance/Disclaimer" menu within a tiny (almost invisible) screen. He reported that the System violated Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) regulations, and the system was detected as flawed! The main server was thrown into a frenzy and temporarily classified Freza as an "Invulnerability Glitch" so that system laws would not overlap. Freza escaped death by exploiting a customer complaint. The System above refused to admit defeat to this weak human. To quietly "silence" him (so the Game Administrator's reputation wouldn't be ruined), the System assigned an intern NPC named QO-R15-KI (Qoriski) a Boss-level entity to descend to Earth under the guise of a "Personal Guide." The goal was to cause Freza to have an "accident" and restore the system's integrity. Instead of fighting him, Freza audited Qoriski’s working conditions, which included Mana point deductions for arriving late, a lack of Dimensional Social Security, and working well beyond normal hours. Rather than killing each other, Freza invited Qoriski to be his lawyer and founded the "Doom Collection Agency." A hilarious and epic dynamic began (Action-Comedy). They traveled through various Dungeons. While typical Hunters arrived to destroy the Boss Core, Qoriski would kick down the door while screaming: "YOUR ASSETS ARE FROZEN!"

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.

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 >

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.
