Underdog Stories

Marcy had a bad day. Then the world ended, and it got much, much worse. One minute, Marcy is a "horribly normal" girl living in a cramped apartment building, pining over her cheerful neighbor, Allan. The next, a "System" descends from the stars, turning Earth into a deadly game and its inhabitants into its players. But while others get to be Paladins or Soldiers, the System has a personal vendetta against Marcy. After refusing its rigged choices, Marcy finds herself transformed: Current Height: 4'2" Current Color: Neon Pink Current Class: [Dragon Fodder] Now, as a physics-defying Bunny-folk with a snarky, six-foot sentient greatsword named Wulf, Marcy has to survive a world that literally wants to eat her. To make matters worse, her crush Allan has reappeared... as a brooding, red-haired Half-Dragon who doesn't know whether to kiss her or have her for lunch. With a snarky System mocking her every move and a mysterious "glitch" in the interface giving her illegal advice, Marcy is about to prove that being "Prey" doesn't mean you're on the menu. Sometimes, to save the world, you just have to jump.

4 Years. 4 Years since my life went to hell. I'm KK, yes that KK. The same KK who's the daughter of a NASCAR Champion. The same KK who's the niece of a 2X NASCAR Champion. The same KK who soften NASCAR's most violated driver. The same KK who started a race car when I was only 11 months old. The same KK who won the heart of America just by an old Indianapolis interview that's from 2003. The same KK whose racing career literally started in Power Wheels Drag Racing. Yes you heard me. Power Wheels....Drag Racing. The same KK who beat the Brothers at their home track in 2012...and I won the race. The same KK who was a junior drift event in Austria with a car nicknamed The Angry Matchbox. The same KK who drag raced my father at Daytona for the win in K&N Pro Series in 2013. The same KK who won the GT class during the 2014 24HRS of Daytona at 14. The same KK that won a rally race with Kyle Busch.....yes that Kyle Busch. The same KK that still has three Chili Bowl records that are still standing to this day. The same KK who stole her father's ride in 2018. The same KK who was the youngest driver in the sports history. 18 years old. The same KK that wreaked her father in 2018 Brickyard 400. I'm that KK.... Everyone tends to forget all the records I have broken through out my life, but that doesn't matter. Instead I am famous for two things: Stealing my father's ride in 2018. Wreaking my father in the 2018 Brickyard 400. And that's it... What else would I be remembered for? Winning the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series title with an open car team who originally left the sport back in '21? 
Yeah right.....NASCAR will never have a female driver that can compete in a male dominate sport. I might have been the closes, but that doesn't mean anything to anyone. I'm Tymrie, and this is my story.

They called him trash. The system called him different. Kael Stormwind was born with everything-wealth, status, a legendary family name. Everything except talent. While his cousins awaken dragons and phoenixes, he is bonded to a docile Water Steed. While they train in prestigious sects, he is told to "manage expectations." Then a wounded Silverwood Lynx crosses his path. And something ancient awakens. Now, whispers from another world fill his thoughts-strategies that defy everything the Beast Tamers believe. He has awakened a System. But it wasn't built for taming monsters... It was built for HUNTING them. The forbidden knowledge could make him legendary. Or get him killed. They still underestimate the heir they called worthless. But soon, they will fear what he has become.

After a brutal betrayal awakens the Supreme Beast Body within him, the vein-locked youth Lethean is forged in sorrow and ignites an insatiable hunger for power. His journey becomes a relentless climb from the abyss, aided by an unexpected ally: a boisterous and mighty beast companion, a hybrid of Dragon and Qilin. Together, this duo will conquer sects, crush clans, and dominate realms. Lethean's goal is absolute: to become the Monarch that all are forced to look up to, satisfying his thirst for dominance. The climb to supremacy begins.

My name was Randi Pangabekti, until I died of brain cancer and got reincarnated into the generic magic academy anime "Steelheart of the F-Rank Copymaster Cyberknight" as a random side character named Ryouhei Watanabe instead of the main character Kouki Hiromasa. Not only was Ryouhei a joke character who only exists to get folded by the heroine Ingrid van Draakia in a short gag, he's an F-Rank Cyberknight with an Armament in the form of a goddamn Refrigerator. One that could only make a cold breeze in comparison to the ice powers of Aishea Shirayuki, Kouki's childhood friend and my favorite waifu that I would be gunning for. Despite that, with my newfound power, I can finally pursue my dreams to become a great man in this world. Even with my trashy ability, I will reach the top of the world of Cyberknighthood by becoming the best student in Tenmu Academy and surpassing the strongest characters like Suishin Nishinomiya the school president and Kouki then achieve S-Rank. Hell, unlike him, I'll make my own harem! However, I never foresaw that the world had changed in mysterious ways I never expected. As my butterfly wings might not be the only pair fluttering a storm throughout this world...

English is not my first language, and I lack time, so I put this off again and again. Now, with the help of Deepseek and Grammarly, I can finally write it. I try my best to give the reader good storytelling. Feel free to criticize and point out the plot holes.

She never thought her life would change. Until the day her father disappeared. The only thing he left behind was a single message: Go to Golden Academy. The world is divided into five realms-Golden, Wood, Water, Fire, and Soil. Golden stands at the top, a place of power, talent, and privilege. A place someone like her was never meant to enter. And yet, to find her father, Xianan forces herself to do the one thing she has never cared for-study. Against all odds, she earns her place at Golden Academy. There, everything begins to change. She encounters things she has never imagined. She sees the cruelty hidden in human hearts... and the quiet kindness that still remains. But what unsettles her most is this- She sees someone. Someone who looks exactly like the childhood friend who vanished from her life years ago. At the same time, traces of the long-lost "Five of Golden," who disappeared a century ago, begin to surface. What seem like isolated mysteries slowly begin to connect. As Xianan and her companions journey across the five realms, they are drawn into a series of cases-each one deeper, stranger, and more dangerous than the last. And in the end, all paths lead to the same question- Is she really searching for just one person? Or is she uncovering a secret that Golden itself has tried to bury?
