HUNTED BY VOID AND SAINTS

Illios_Grandé
[The war between light and shadow is over. Shadow won.] A queen who never sleeps hunts her daughter. A cannibal who carries her child's strength inside her, atoning for sins not hers alone to bear. A devil offers a kingdom to a girl who has nothing, and asks nothing in return. From the moment Rya was born, the Void has been staring at her. Patiently waiting for the right moment. They want her dead, but they never moved. Why? Because her mother is Nyxelene, the only woman strong enough to rule one of the three great kingdoms in a world owned by men. The rumours about what Nyxelene could do were already enough to make most monsters choke on their ambitions. But that’s not the real reason the Void only watches. A child has two parents. Half of Rya’s blood belongs to a name that makes even the things without mouths shut up and crawl back into the dark. For that same reason, the light had its gaze on her too, but neither side dares make any moves. However, nothing stays safe forever. Now Nyxelene herself is hunting the daughter she never wanted, and only she knows why. A princess who can’t ride a horse, can’t swing a sword, is suddenly the most wanted person in Runevale. In her blind panic she crashes into a woman with perfect skin and the gentlest smile you’ll ever see. This woman eats her enemies alive and spits out the bones. That said, even she was not enough to protect her from Nyxelene. In her zero hour, the devil made an entrance with his hand outstretched and a bright smile on his face. He offers Rya his hand. He offers her one of the three great kingdoms. He offers her himself. Question is: Why in the seven hells would the Devil protect a helpless prey when he could just drag her soul to hell and call it a day? Now, the most watched girl in the two realms just became the devil's problem. Your move, Void and light.

System is My Manager

The system didn't give me a sword. It gave me a performance review. When the apocalypse arrived, most people got combat classes, mana cores, or at least a decent sword. Ethan Cole got a notification that read: You have been assigned: Operations Manager (Provisional) Your performance will be reviewed at regular intervals. Underperformance may result in demotion, resource reallocation, or termination. Good luck. No attack stat. No mana. No class skills that actually kill anything. What he got instead was a system that evaluated how well he managed people, resources, logistics, and organizational structure — and rewarded him accordingly. Turns out, in a world where everyone else is busy leveling their sword arm, someone still needs to figure out where the food comes from, why the chain of command keeps collapsing, and how to stop three different survivor factions from killing each other before the actual monsters get a turn. Ethan is not the hero. He's the guy making sure the hero has somewhere to sleep, something to eat, and a reason not to defect. Directive started as a refugee camp. Then it became a settlement. Then an organization. Then something the system itself couldn't quite classify. And the higher Ethan climbs — from Team Lead to Operations Manager to whatever comes next — the more he realizes: The system isn't a reward mechanic. It's a management structure. And management structures can be studied. Reverse-engineered. Gamed. The only question is what happens when the system notices you've figured out how it works. Progression fantasy with a white-collar twist. Organizational building, bureaucratic warfare, and the slow, deeply satisfying process of turning a collapsing world into something that actually functions. No chosen one. No secret bloodline. Just competence, structure, and the audacity to submit a better report than the apocalypse.

Honkai: The Romance System Only Shows Up After I Marry Mei

Twenty-two years after transmigrating, Su Ming had already confirmed this was a peaceful, everyday timeline—one with no Honkai at all. And he had long since become a winner in life: he’d married a rich, beautiful woman and was preparing to step into the role of CEO at ME Corporation, ready to reach the very peak of success. True, his wife’s white-haired, blue-eyed best friend—and another close friend with silver hair and gray eyes—both seemed to harbor certain feelings for him. But as a devoted, faithful man, Su Ming would never even consider being unfaithful. [Ding—] [Conditions met. “Degenerate Romance System” has been loaded. Please use whatever shameless methods you like to攻略 the heroine!] Sigh. Life was already pretty great as it was… but with a system, the possibilities were limitless. [Ding—] [Conditions met. “Classic Heroine Route System” has been loaded. Please use righteous, straightforward methods to win over the heroine!] Oh? Two systems? Interesting. Looks like I’ll have to let Mei down after all. Let me see what this is about! Wait—what the hell? There are dungeons too?! Don’t tell me this “romance system” is literally about clearing dungeon instances?! Damn it, what kind of rotten system is this? Hold on—are you kidding me?! Why is there Honkai energy resistance listed among the rewards?! Don’t tell me Honkai is about to happen?! This system is going to ruin me! No, please—give me back my relaxed, easygoing slice-of-life days!
