Dues Ex Machina
God from the Machine
***
Who do you become when there is no faith left to place in God?
In every story told, when hope is exhausted and the challenge before us seems insurmountable, we find comfort in the belief that someone will come to save us. A hero. A miracle. A divine hand reaching down at the final moment to alter our fate. We have been taught to expect it; to believe that when all seems lost, salvation will arrive.
But stories are kinder than reality. Reality guarantees no god will descend from the heavens to untangle the knots of our suffering. No unseen force is obligated to rewrite our ending. And when no miracle comes, when no hand reaches out from above, we are left with a far more unsettling question:
Who are we when we must save ourselves?

When the Apocalypse Begins, I'll Amass a Fortune
Reborn three days before the apocalypse, Chen Han knows exactly what's coming. One year after the launch of the global hit survival game 【Doomsday Dawn】, the game will descend into reality.

LOSS System: Last Store Standing
Jack didn't ask to save the world. He just wanted to run his convenience store in peace. Then he woke up in a wasteland. No town. No neighbors. No Wi-Fi. Just cracked red earth, dead trees, and a voice in his head calling itself the Limitless Omniversal Supply System. The LOSS System. Jack laughed for a very long time. The system was not amused. Now he has a fully stocked store, unlimited water and electricity, and a system that's somehow both all-powerful and deeply offended by everything he says. To survive in a world where the average temperature hits 52°C, Jack will have to sell supplies, make allies, build shelter, and figure out why his little store might be the first step toward bringing a dead world back to life. One cold soda at a time.![Outlander [REWRITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/291520548-256-k370305.jpg)

Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver. _____ *This novel belongs to the author Qing Yu Jiang Hu (轻语江湖).

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.
