"What? Quickly bring him in. I will accept him as my... By the way, what is his name?"

"It seems his surname is Tang."

"Surname Tang?! Wait, don't bring him in. This Sect Leader will personally take action to shield the heavenly secrets and write a letter for you to take and introduce him to the opposing sect..."

"Remember to be tactful! Also! From today onwards, this Sect Leader is going into seclusion. Under no circumstances should you call this Sect Leader out of seclusion unless it is extremely important!"

"Oh right, be sure, be sure to keep a close eye on all the sect's secret manuals, lest they be stolen!"

"You have been chosen as a Dungeon Master by random selection."

During class, an inexplicable voice echoed in the mind of Aoto Wakashima, declaring him a Dungeon Master.

As a Dungeon Master, if his dungeon core is destroyed, he will die.

Not wanting to die, Aoto came up with a plan.

"I'll make my dungeon an ally of humanity! That way, it won’t be completely conquered!"

With that thought in mind, he decided to create and manage a beginner-friendly dungeon where players could experience a tutorial.

However, if the dungeon only contained tutorial elements, it would be too easy to clear.

So, Aoto cleverly exploited the dungeon’s mechanics to slow down its conquest as much as possible.

This is the story of a slightly devious man who does everything in his power to keep his dungeon from being cleared—

A dungeon so troublesome that people start calling it "the most frustrating dungeon in the world" and its master "an absolute menace."

In the history of geology, more than 500 million years ago, there was a period of the Paleozoic Era known as the Cambrian Period. This period, being the first period of the Paleozoic Era, does not only have a significant meaning for geological research, but is also the most insane, splendid and mysterious period in paleontological history.... more>>

Before the Cambrian Period, the Earth’s species were relatively monotonous. When the Cambrian Period started, just after millions of years, which is a relatively short period of time in terms of geology, all kind of species on Earth suddenly evolved wildly. Countless invertebrates, arthropods, mollusks, brachiopods, annelids, etc. appeared on the planet without any warning, greatly enriching the diversity of the Earth’s species. This million years period is known as the “Cambrian Explosion”. And after billions of evolutionary years, the Earth today blooms with diverse lives.

The cause of the Cambrian Explosion is a huge mystery and also the biggest paradox of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

What if… the Cambrian Period comes back in this era when human civilization has already conquered the entire planet, and species once again evolve wildly? What kind of challenge will this planet encounter? What kind of fate will humans, who are falling from the top of the food chain, face? <<less

Asteria Quest 7. I found myself reincarnated as “Castor,” a supporting character in my favorite RPG game.... more>>

I had a favorite character in this game. It was “Estelle,” a beautiful girl swordsman who belonged to a certain party. In the beginning of the game, she fought Tejato, one of the Four Kings of the Demon King's Army, as a substitute to help the heroes escape, but it was a losing event. After that, the whole party is sent to the Demon King's army's mining site as s*aves.

In order to save my favorite character, Estelle, I rushed to her and the others, and we all managed to survive. But I was left with a big scar on my back, and I didn't wake up until a month later.

“--Castor-sama, Castor-sama, Castor-sama, Castor-sama, Castor-sama!"

When I woke up, it was my favorite character “Estelle” who was crying beside my bed, happy for my survival.

"---I will be devoted to you for the rest of my life!"

However, saving my favorite character made me regret it a little later on. That is because her love was abnormally too heavy for me--- <<less

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called “Destiny” was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game… Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

“I’m familiar with this.”

Thus, in “Destiny,” a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent… No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

“A Tang Sword is not used like this.”

“Protecting teammates? Not necessary.”

“Isn’t it enough to eliminate all the enemies?”

…

In the world of “Destiny,” a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end…

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can’t hit a single shot, earning him the title of the “Master of Human Outline Drawing.”

Yang Yunche, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

“Why need ranged weapons when I’m here?”

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don’t need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like “Eternal Punishment,” “Apex Legends,” “Overwatch,” and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn’t follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

After the death of Xu Qianyu, the youngest disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect, she finally realized that she was just a supporting character in a "koi" novel.... more>>

Throughout her life, she was proud and ambitious, working hard on her cultivation, yet misfortune followed her, preventing her from achieving greatness. She fell in love with the villainous Demon King, dedicating half the novel to chasing after him, even betraying her sect for him. But in the end, he killed her with one strike of his sword, sending her tumbling down a cliff.

Meanwhile, the koi protagonist, Lu You, lived a life of ease. With nothing but lying down, talent, treasures, luck, and men all came to her effortlessly. The senior brothers, junior brothers, and lovers that Xu Qianyu treasured were all like fish attracted to the koi's charm. As for herself, she seemed to exist only as a contrast to the chosen heroine.

As a reborn supporting character, Xu Qianyu should have taken control of the script and played her part carefully. However, the timeline of the novel world was unexpectedly delayed. When Qianyu opened her eyes, she found herself raised as a spoiled eldest lady in the mortal world, more arrogant and unruly than in her past life, now unaffected by anyone's influence.

The system covered its face: "... This run is over."

But later...

The koi protagonist: "What? Are you crazy? Who are you trying to outdo???"

The system: "Please stop leveling up!! Can you at least take a look at the romance storyline, Xiao Qian? We're depending on you to carry us QAQ!"

The darkened Demon King walked over, wielding a whip.

Xu Qianyu, with her nose red from crying, pulled out a whip in response.

Demon King: "?"

Demon King: "Did I encounter a duplicate?"

Xu Qianyu coldly turned to her junior brother: "Someone who prioritizes love over friendship doesn't deserve to be my brother, only a dog."

Junior brother, on the verge of tears: "Woo, Wangwang can't you just acknowledge me?"

As for the senior brother...

In her past life, Xu Qianyu thought of him as pure and cold, like an immortal banished from heaven. But now she realized that his pursuit of the Dao wasn't a belief—it was just a means to an end. He was a deeply hidden, insane beauty who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

However, upon meeting her, this carefully steered ship ultimately capsized. <<less
