The next, a "System" descends from the stars, turning Earth into a deadly game and its inhabitants into its players.

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.

They chose legacy over future, certainty over potential, the Seven-Time World Champion over an unproven prodigy... They thought they were betting on victory. They didn't realize they were creating the one driver who could challenge a dynasty. But the 2025 season will remember everything. Ferrari's decision leaves Hendryx Huntyr, a Belgian rookie fresh off a dominant Formula 2 championship, without a seat and without a future. To Formula 1, he is a missed opportunity. A casualty of politics... But Red Bull sees something else. To them, he is not a loss. He is a weapon. Signed in the aftermath of Ferrari's announcement, Hendryx is thrown into a world ruled by Max Verstappen, the four-time World Champion who has rewritten the sport's record books and locked the grid under his reign of pace and precision. What no one expects is how fast the rookie adapts. How quickly he learns. How cleanly he cuts through them. How little he needs to break you. Race by race, lap by lap, Hendryx becomes the blade that slices through Verstappen's legacy, and the expectations of a sport that believed it already knew its future. Alongside the rising generation of young talent: Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Isack Hadjar, and Gabriel Bortoleto, a new era begins to take shape. The grid becomes a battlefield between legacy and succession. And in the heart of all that, stands a rookie Ferrari never wanted... and Red Bull refuses to lose. 🏎 Records are shattered. 🏆 Legends are threatened. 🔥 Dynasty meets its successor.

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...

THRYNVEIL - Vol. 1: The Chains Melted Some people dream of freedom. JoJo has been trying to get arrested for it. Seventy three crimes. Seventy three attempts to force the Spirit of Zebac to do what the law demands - banish him from the island kingdom of Vehl Zehra and send him into the vast, dangerous world beyond the sea. But the Spirit keeps refusing, the chains keep holding, and JoJo's dream of becoming the greatest warrior in the world keeps pressing against the walls of the only home he has ever known. Then the Balista arrives. Three levels. A forest that devours souls. A cave that breaks minds. A sparring ground that determines your worth. And somewhere inside the darkness, powerful forces hunting specific targets - making a deadly selection even deadlier. To earn his freedom JoJo must survive. But survival, it turns out, is easier with the right people beside you. A swordsman who swore loyalty in the middle of a monster forest. A giant who carries the weight of a promise made to the dead. A girl who fell from another world entirely, carrying a power she is only beginning to understand. A former slave who bends the laws of reality from the pages of a book. They were not chosen. They were not selected. They found each other in the dark and decided that was enough. The world has never met anyone like them. It is about to. Some chains are made of iron. Some are made of fear. The hardest ones to break are the ones you never knew were there.

But when Ethan suddenly disappears days before the championship game, Nathan is forced into an impossible role: become him until he comes back. Now Nathan is wearing Ethan's jersey, driving Ethan's car, and pretending to be the boy everyone loves - even fooling Ethan's cheerleader girlfriend, who has no idea she's kissing the wrong twin. For the first time in his life, people finally see Nathan. Just not as himself. But the deeper Nathan sinks into Ethan's world, the more cracks begin to show. Hidden pills. Missed practices. Strange phone calls. Secrets Ethan never trusted him enough to share. And while the entire school mourns the disappearance of "Nathan Carter," Nathan starts uncovering a terrifying truth: Ethan wasn't the person everyone thought he was. Maybe he wasn't even the person Nathan thought he was. As the pressure on the field grows and the line between performance and reality begins to blur, Nathan finds himself falling for the one person who seems determined to expose the truth - and losing himself inside a life that was never supposed to belong to him. ⚠️ Contains themes of addiction, identity loss, mental health struggles, and emotional distress.

Xianan grew up in the Soil Realm-buried deep beneath the world, the poorest and most forgotten of the five realms. To others, people like her are nothing more than worms. 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?

I try my best to give the reader good storytelling. Feel free to criticize and point out the plot holes.
