"I only wanted to watch the story unfold... not become part of it." One morning, I awoke not as myself, but as a minor side character in my favorite novel-the quiet daughter of a Count destined to fade into the background. My plan was simple: stay out of trouble and enjoy the view as the heroine and her destined lover blossomed before my eyes. But fate had other ideas. The cold, dangerous Crown Prince-the very villain fated to bring chaos-set his sights on me. Now, instead of peacefully watching the love story I once adored, I find myself trapped in a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and a future that was never written in the book.

In the year 2026, with the world descending into chaos day-by-day, it is only a matter of time before destruction appears itself but everything stops as something appears that will disrupt the lives of everyone. (This is my first story so please bear with me if there is any errors and such. This fanfic was inspired upon by many other fanfics such as Summoning America and Gate: War of two worlds, I highly recommend reading those books because it's so awesome!) P.S: This is based on the manga and anime version of GATE: Thus the JSDF fought there.

She's beautiful, strong, and alone in ways no one can imagine. Every place she calls home forgets her the moment she leaves, and even her closest friends vanish from memory. But when whispers of the Astorian kingdom reach her, she realizes her life-and the world around her-may not be what it seems.

Great Elroe Labyrinth, a place said to be where monsters born and hunt. A dark forest filled with unending competition for very survival. For monsters, it is home and battlefield. For humans, it was path to the other side of the world or grave. And it remained like that unchanged. But deep in caves and tunnels of the largest dungeon, rose a soul that cannot move, cannot speak or hear in a way humans understood. The being that weaponises change itself and simply, slowly grows. For change comes slowly and quietly. And the world never notices until it is everywhere. Alright this fandom is kinda dyings, especially fanfic wise and this is my attempt at keeping it alive. All the art I used in the cover and potentially in future chapters belong to their respective creators. I do not own any of them (though there may be ones I drew) including the original story.

Falling into another dimension's ocean was not on Callum's bingo card this year. Neither was discovering that in this world, he's five inches tall. How's he supposed to get home now?

After achieving absolute peace and unity across the Central World, Rimuru Tempest finds himself bored in an era free of conflict. To bring back excitement and satisfy his curiosity, he works with Ciel to create a separate parallel dimension-Parallel Sector-Omega-an exact replica of the multiverse's history where he can observe and interact without affecting his original reality. Suppressing nearly all his divine power to appear as a powerful Demon Lord, Rimuru arrives at the very beginning of time, just as the Star King Dragon Veldanava is born. What starts as a simple observation quickly turns into playful chaos, beginning with a silly prank that confuses the creator of the world itself. As thousands of years pass, Rimuru waits for the right moment to step fully into the timeline, ready to meet legendary figures, alter history in unexpected ways, and enjoy a new adventure filled with mischief and discovery.

HỒ SƠ BÁO CÁO MẬT Người gửi: Leonard Mitchell (Đội Găng Tay Đỏ) Nơi nhận: Tổng bộ Kẻ Gác Đêm, Thánh đường Serenes - Giáo hội Đêm Đen Mục tiêu: Trường Ngân Bạch "Kính gửi các vị Chấp sự, Đừng để lớp vỏ bọc 'thánh địa học thuật' của trường Ngân Bạch đánh lừa. Nữ Thần chứng giám, nơi đây không bồi dưỡng học giả, mà đang ươm mầm cho những sự điên loạn nguyên thủy. Kiến trúc ở khu học xá này chối bỏ mọi định luật không gian; những dãy hành lang vặn vẹo ở các góc độ phi hình học như muốn xé rách lý trí của bất kỳ Người Phi Phàm nào bước vào. Thư viện của họ thực chất là một Vực Sâu chứa đầy tử ngữ nhầy nhụa, nơi sinh viên say sưa giải mã tiếng lầm bầm của vũ trụ, rồi thản nhiên tổ chức những chuyến thám hiểm điên rồ đến các phế tích băng giá tận cùng thế giới để đào bới những cấm vật sinh học vĩ đại. Các giáo sư đứng trên bục giảng với ánh mắt đục ngầu của kẻ đã nhìn chằm chằm quá lâu vào vực thẳm của những vì sao thù địch. Tôi thà bị đày ra vùng biển Rorsted, đối mặt với hỏa lực của Băng Hải Tặc The Last Fortune, còn hơn phải bước xuống khu lưu trữ tầng hầm của ngôi trường này thêm một lần nào nữa. Hải tặc chỉ xé nát thể xác, còn trường Ngân Bạch chính là cánh cửa mở thẳng vào sự sụp đổ của linh hồn."

Who says you have to die to get an Isekai? After getting betrayed by his best and only friend, 14-year-old Ryouma wishes to end it all. But death refuses to answer his call. Instead, the ground opens up and swallows him whole. Ryouma discovers a whole new world, just below his feet. The Underworld. A world where various creatures, friends and fiends, interact and are free to live anywhere, even in the human world. His brothers, his ever-so-cheerful in-law, his new sister, none of them were ever human to begin with. Also, none were ever related to him. Unless adoption counts. His real family? Murdered two hundred years ago in a battle for control over the world. While still coping with the shock, Ryouma learns that he is the heir to the throne of the Underworld. He is a God by birth. What's more, his psychopath, overpowered elder sister is out to kill him and turn the Underworld into her personal playground. Ryouma Nakamura is forced to fight for both the human world and the underworld. Even though it doesn't feel right... #fantasy #foundfamily #highschool #comedy #siblingrivalry #powers #japanese

_Looking at him, I felt as if death itself was standing right in front of me._ _Such a beautiful death - an exception._ By day, I'm Aria Quinn - a broke accountant drowning in bills. By night, I'm QueenA - undefeated battle royale streamer who never shows her face. My life was boring. Predictable. Safe. Until I clicked _Play_ on a cheap horror game called _Fenrir's Wrath_. One blinding flash later, I'm standing on a deserted street. I cleared all the levels with my incredible gaming skills. Tall. Deadly. Eyes that burn like a wolf's. He looks at me like I'm prey. He's also the only thing keeping me alive in this nightmare. *The game wasn't a game. It was a doorway.* *And he's not the monster. He's my only way out.* *my beautiful end...or the beginning.* ---

It begins with a glance. Not a simple meeting of eyes, but a spark so fierce, so undeniable, that it awakens something ancient buried deep within two souls. We call it the Bond-a force stronger than reason, stronger than distance, stronger even than death. Many mistake it for passion. Others call it fate. They are all wrong. The Bond is neither a choice nor a blessing. It is a law woven into the fabric of our existence. Once awakened, it cannot be broken, ignored, or forgotten. To deny it is to condemn not only yourself, but the one destined for you. Walk away, and the consequences are fatal. The slow unraveling begins, consuming both souls until nothing remains. Most discover their mate while young, often within their own culture and social circles. Cross-cultural bonds are rare enough to become legends. Yet countless others spend their lives searching, wandering through years of loneliness, clinging to the hope that somewhere their other half exists. Our society is divided into two classes. The first are the Royals-the powerful bloodlines whose names command respect and whose wealth opens every door. They possess influence, privilege, education, and status beyond imagination. Yet many Royals never find their mates. Some dismiss the Bond as a weakness, choosing ambition, power, and self-interest over destiny itself. The second are the Able-Bodied-the forgotten majority. Laborers. The poor. The unemployed. The homeless. Those born without prestige or opportunity. Their lives are marked by hardship, and many spend their days struggling simply to survive. Hope is a luxury few can afford. Some search endlessly for their mate. Others abandon the dream altogether, surrendering to lust, corruption, and despair. But fate does not care about wealth. It does not care about status. And it certainly does not care about the boundaries society has built. Because when the bond awakens, every wall eventually falls. And this is the story of what happens when it does.

Some doors should never be opened. Lira saw something she wasn't supposed to. Now, the things from the other side can see her too. And the only person who knows the truth... is the one telling her to stay away.

Miley is a Keeper. Like every Lumen before her, she was taught to observe human lives from afar, record their stories, and never interfere. Never. But when a future vision shows a human girl standing alone on the edge of a rooftop, Miley finds herself asking a question no one can answer: Why? Unable to let go of the mystery, she breaks the most sacred law of the Keepers and enters the girl's life herself. As Miley navigates an elite academy divided by wealth and status, she begins uncovering the truth behind the future she witnessed. But the closer she gets to the answer, the more she realizes that understanding human pain is very different from simply observing it. And some futures are harder to change than they seem.

They say fate ties people together with invisible threads. I never knew mine were tangled with demons, forgotten gods, a wooden corpse... and the one person I was never supposed to love. My name is Jeon Y/N. If someone had told me I'd one day travel with demon hunters, an ancient Azure Dragon, a chaotic cat demon, and somehow fall for the most emotionally constipated cultivator alive... I would've laughed. Unfortunately... fate wasn't joking. This is the story of how my ordinary life unraveled into something far beyond imagination. What You Get: Exclusive Demon Hunter theme😈
