Every city has its rules. This one has a body count.
Flynn has spent his whole life in Circuit City - smog-choked, metal-scarred, the last city on Earth. Beyond its walls: nuclear wasteland. Nothing survives out there. That's what he's always been told.
At eighteen, every citizen is summoned to the Institute for the trials - a series of tests designed to find who is "strongest, smartest, most resilient" enough to serve society. Everyone is matched. Ranked against someone. Someone whose identity the Institute is desperate to keep hidden.
Only one of each pair walks out.
As the trials strip away everything Flynn thought he knew - about his world, his opponent, and the girl he loves who's starting to believe the Institute's logic more than she believes him - he starts pulling at a truth buried deeper than the walls of the Institute itself.

All Her Fluffy Beast Husband Are Top Tier Bigshot While Her Fertility Is 0
Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female character with 0 fertility and f mental strength in a book, Shi Lan ran to a remote star to become a prison warden in order to change her fate. The prison here holds top-tier powerhouses whose mental strength has collapsed.

She thought the work ahead would be very difficult, but no one told her that the prison was full of large, fluffy creatures. The imposing white lion of Prison Number One, the most popular major general in the interstellar space, appears gentle and composed on the surface, but behind the scenes, he whispers, "Lanlan, can you look at me more? I need your comfort too..." The stunningly beautiful bird of paradise in Prison Number Two, one of the young masters of the Empire's four great families, is always arrogant, narcissistic, and vain, yet he secretly began to perform a courtship dance, asking, "Shi Lan, do you like it?"

As the Villain, Shouldn't There Be a Limit to My Power?
Ron transmigrates into the world of his favorite dark fantasy game-and straight into the body of its first doomed villain. His opening scene? A kidnapped saintess lies beneath him, five hundred holy knights are already surrounding the building, and the game's strongest protagonist is only ten minutes away from chopping him into pieces. The system gives him two choices: 「Violate the future White Saintess, die a villain, and unknowingly save the world. 」 Or... 「Fight fate itself and survive. 」 Ron chooses to live. Using rather improper means to take away a nun's purity-how many years in prison would that earn? Looking at the nun lying before him, Ron couldn't help but seriously ponder that question! "Beautiful Miss Nun, rest assured, I have absolutely no interest in polluting your soul!" Armed with knowledge of every hidden treasure, every secret route, every overpowered exploit, and even an enhancement bug the developers never fixed, he begins rewriting the world's destiny. But surviving his scripted death is only the beginning. The repaired worldline wants him dead. A mysterious "Repairman" is correcting reality. A system unlike anything he expected is pushing him toward impossible conquest missions. And the women destined to become the world's greatest heroes... are beginning to see the infamous villain in a very different light. In a world where fate has already decided everyone's ending, Ron intends to break every rule, exploit every loophole, and turn the worst possible start into the greatest advantage. After all... If the world is just a game, then no one knows how to beat it better than the player who already cleared it.
