In college, Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui were very different from each other— their paths would never cross.... more>>

One was a free spirit, a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. The other was a well-behaved and quiet girl, easy to be ignored.

As she finished her assignments one after another in the library, she had no intention to listen to matters regarding him and others. Yet, she had witnessed him changing girlfriends one after another.

At a party, Xu Sui was drunk and summoned up the courage to confess to him.

Zhou Jingze froze for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and said casually: “I’m sorry, you are too well-behaved and quiet.”

They met again, countless times, whether it was intentionally or unintentionally. Xu Sui should have pushed down her thoughts and kept a distance from him.

Yet, he kept pressing, leaving her nowhere to hide. Finally, Xu Sui was against a wall: “Why me?” Zhou Jingze lowered his head and whispered to her: “There is no why; I used to be blind.” <<less

I was thrown out into space after getting drunk and signing some document!... more>>

I have no idea how this happened, but I just happened to manage to commandeer a battleship with a big cannon, so I'm kicking things around in a universe where bipedal weapons are common, magic is no big deal, weird races exist, and I can retrieve ten thousand year old scrap.

When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.... more>>

I guess you guys think I’m talking nonsense here, but I also have absolutely no clue about what exactly happened to me.

I was really close to completely losing it, but fortunately, I managed to notice that this place was really similar to the world featured in a game I was playing recently.

Am I dreaming? Nope, it’s no dream. Maybe I actually got sent to a different world or something?

But didn’t those things usually involve getting sent to a magical world with elves, dwarves, dragons and whatnot?

In any case, I don’t know what caused this, but I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and live properly in this world from now on.

It’ll be okay. I got my trusty spaceship so I can probably make some money. It’ll work out! It has to!

This is the story of a man abruptly thrown into space along with his private spaceship. He runs around with it and saves damsels in distress along the way, flirts with said damsels, earns money as a merc-for-hire and uses his gaming knowledge to work his way into living freely and easily. <<less

“Looks like a landing operation scenario. The streamer’s on an assault boat, but positioned toward the back—can’t really see what’s happening up front.”

“Gotta push forward a bit…”

Mumbling to himself, the fully immersed streamer moved to the front of the assault boat.

When the time came for her to experience her first time, Daon was in complete shock.
This was because her boyfriend's thing was incredibly small.
All the romantic fantasies she had dreamed of came shattering down in no time.

After breaking up, she only wallowed in her despair for a brief moment.
Her older brother's friend, whom she had known since she was young, began to catch her eye.

"......!"

She could see an outline of something long and thick on his right thigh.
It looks like her ideal preference remains intact.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Daon's heart began to beat faster.

Love bloomed out of trivial things, but it also cracked due to trivial matters.

"What does the fact that the bastard has a small thing have to do with you kissing me?"
"You're big, Oppa!"
"How could you possibly know that?"
"I saw it!"

...Damn it.

"You should have hidden it better, Oppa..."

Daon continued to sneak glances at him with a carefree expression.
Whenever their eyes met, she'd start giggling. He could hardly believe this was happening.

Before being pushed to meet her blind date, Meng Li Yue never imagined that the person she would meet was the object of her secret crush during her school days, the name she had written countless times in her diary. ... more>>

After marrying him, everyone thought that Meng Li Yue was marrying above her station. After all, Li Fu Zheng was the youngest Airbus A330 captain in the history of China Airlines, with an exceptional family background and striking looks.

When asked how he felt about the marriage, Li Fu Zheng casually replied, "It’s just so-so."

Everyone was waiting for the day Meng Li Yue would get dumped.

---

Later, however, the proud Captain Li found himself humbling in midair, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, pleading with his wife seated at the approach control desk.

"There’s weather ahead. Requesting clearance for a right turn."

Meng Li Yue, speaking in her sweetest tone over the very high frequency (VHF) radio, delivered the harshest reply:

"Airspace to the right is restricted. Request denied."

After landing, Li Fu Zheng waited for Meng Li Yue to finish her shift and cornered her under the control tower, biting her lips. “Even if you beg me while crying tonight, it won’t work…”

---

When Li Fu Zheng accidentally learned that Meng Li Yue had a crush on someone, his jealousy knew no bounds. He constantly wondered who she loved more.

It wasn’t until the day his aircraft encountered an emergency situation and declared a 7700 squawk code that he finally got his answer.

"He Cheng Approach, Zhong Nan 8562, at your command."

"Zhong Nan 8562, He Cheng Approach, radar contact."

Before handing over control to the tower, Meng Li Yue told him, “It’s you.”

—The tailhook, also known as the arresting hook, is one of the most important components on a carrier-based aircraft. When landing, the tailhook increases resistance through snagging onto the arresting wire suspended across the deck of the carrier. This is so that the carrier will be able to land on the runway within a short period of time. Globally, organizations whose members are naval carrier-based aircraft pilots are also called Tailhook Associations.

This novel will mainly tell a story from Zhou Qichen’s POV. Derived from the side relationship in another novel The Approach (从万米高空降临).

NOTE: This story has a Shounen-ai sub-plot. It is not explicit(actually quite vague and barely there. Better to term it as bromance) and can be overlooked.... more>>

The world champion of the holographic mecha battle game “Warfall” is announced, and Ji Mingzhu claims the throne with an overwhelming dominance, well-deservedly so.

However, before the trophy could even cool down in his hands, he opens his eyes and finds himself in another world.

Alien invasions, colossal monsters spreading throughout the world, humans forced to retreat to the Twelve Satellite Cities and establish fortified walls for survival.

Self-proclaimed immortal mysterious beings become the rulers, overlooking all beings from their sky cities.

Complex belief systems, hidden forces at work, intelligent AIs coexisting with humans, and people struggling to survive in a shattered prosperity…

And he, not only devoid of the memories of his original self, but upon opening his eyes, he is tasked with a dangerous mission of hostage rescue…

Ji Mingzhu: Well, it seems like I’m in for a rough ride.

When the battles approach, Ji Mingzhu sits inside the mecha and gazes at the c*ckpit filled with intricate circuits and control buttons.

Ji Mingzhu: It looks somewhat familiar.

Ji Mingzhu: …Isn’t this the interface from “Warfall”?

Question: When you suddenly find yourself in a world overrun by monsters after winning an eSports championship, facing a deadly start with no knowledge other than gaming, how do you deal with the perilous situation of being surrounded by wolves?

The young man sits in the Titan mecha, known as the “God of Mortals,” and loosens his gloves, skillfully manipulating the complex buttons above.

Then, under his control, the hundred-meter-tall Titan rushes towards the alien creatures, with the power core emitting a deafening hum, alloy blades tearing through the clouds like lightning, firepower systems pushed to the limit, and explosions and flames engulfing the Titan, resembling an ancient deity, its immense power eclipsing the sky.

Ji Mingzhu: Thanks for the invitation, but I think we can crank up the intensity a bit more.

…

PS:

1. This story leans towards the plot and has a minimal focus on romantic relationships. Please be aware if that’s not your preference.

2. In the original world of “Warfall,” the c*ckpit design is semi-holographic, allowing the protagonist to quickly adapt to operating a real mecha. This will be explained in the story.

"... I didn't do it for anything ," Fu Yan gazed ahead, oblivious to his own abnormality, and continued to answer the question Liu Ruosong had posed earlier, "If I had to say, it's so that you can still take pictures in places you'll like in the future."

He said it casually, but it wasn't until much later that Liu Ruosong learned that behind this "promise" was a solid sixteen years lost in the crevices of time for Fu Yan.

She’s still the way he remembers her: sharp, indifferent, arrogant, and steeped in evil. Especially her perseverance in becoming an outstanding female plane captain, which only ever increased, never decreasing.

To Gu Nanting’s love confession, Cheng Xiao completely refused.

Gu Nanting asked: “How long will you test me for?”

Cheng Xiao said frankly: “I don’t plan to date before becoming plane captain.”

So that night, originally being grounded, she received a reinstatement notice.

Cheng Xiao didn’t understand: “What do you mean?”

It was clearly the peak shipping season and the company had insufficient transportation capacity. But Gu Nanting deliberately said: “Creating conditions for you to fly, so you complete all your flight hours, and become a plane captain!”

Flying is her ultimate dream, and Gu Nanting is the airport that supports her.

“The wife of the boss?” Fu Mingyu interrupts her coldly.

The flight attendant was stunned.

Fu Mingyu: “You might as well just dream.”

Three years later, Fu Mingyu boarded the same flight again. He saw the woman standing in the middle of the crew at a glance, still the familiar and charming face.

She was still smiling, but the epaulets on her clothes were particularly conspicuous.

“President Fu, Ruan Sixian, the co-pilot of this flight, will serve you wholeheartedly.”

Life is simply too short to have fun.... more>>

Yan An agreed with this saying and decided to seek some sort of fun during her lonely trip.

And now, in the present, inside the cramped airplane cabin, the skydiving instructor is sitting next to her.

With an upright face and long and toned legs, the instructor overall has a striking and abstinent impression.

Indeed it is an abundantly beautiful spring; spring is now in the human world.

“Hey, handsome, my life is now in your hands now, so why don’t you give me your phone number, huh?”

As the first ray of sunlight penetrates the receding darkness of the night, Shan Yi slowly gets up, his rugged and sensual figure laid bare for all to see.

But room is so dead and quiet as if there hasn’t been any trace of any living person.

Then the phone under the pillow vibrates: There is a sudden emergency, so I’m returning to China first. Thank you for your kindness, and see you in the rivers and lakes soon! Bye-bye, handsome.

Shan Yi silently smiled at the message; while morning rays of the sun strangely felt like it didn’t bring any warmth.

In Beitong Airlines, a new batch of trainee pilots has been recently dispatched.

Yan An, who was assigned to follow the new captain of the aircraft, heard that he is one of the most competent and punctual captains in the entire civil aviation industry.

And around that time, she heard the clacking sound of leather shoes approaching the door, Yan An decided sneakily stretched her neck to take a quick look, where she was left utterly dumbfounded.

The man is in a crisp and pristine uniform. He has broad shoulders, narrow waist, and tall, upright body, that is seemingly bursting with testosterone.

The gaze of the two collided, and with his black eyes so piercing and deep, Shan Yi raised his thin lips into a smile yet not like a smile, he gently pressed a hundred-euro bill onto the table, and calmly stated,

“Returning it to its rightful owner.”

The man declared in a cold-clipped tone: “My worth, when compared to this amount of money, is far from close.”
