Welcome to Gehenna

Aitheriel
[A Multi-POV epic fantasy adventure featuring a fully rendered artwork in every chapter! Updates every Friday] “We will find our siblings and we will save them. No matter what anyone says, they are alive,” Allen says, holding Jenna’s palms in a deathly tight grip, “You cannot lose hope. I beg of you.” After a hiking trip goes terribly wrong, and an ancient ritual causes the earth to open up beneath their feet, Allen, Jenna, Ana and Blake awaken to find themselves bloodied, bruised and torn apart in a world far too different from their own. Allen and Jenna enter a world where dinosaur-like creatures are real and a deathly fog envelops the region, threatening to put all who breathe it in for too long into a coma that can never be undone. Forcefully dragged into the sharp politics of the underground city of Uykuda upon arrival, the two must navigate their forced new roles while juggling the most important task of all—finding their lost siblings and going home. Meanwhile, Ana and Blake crash land into a forest teeming with daemons willing to eat anything or anyone to survive. Hindered by Blake’s broken arm, the two are forced to team up with a woman known as the Reaper in the hopes of being lead to a healer before Blake’s injury can get them killed… that is, if the Reaper, the kin-eaters or the monstrous beasts hidden deep within the caves don’t kill them first… And finally, on the other side of the world lives the clueless prince who caused this whole mess, living a life of bliss ignorance until the consequences of his actions finally catch up to him and suddenly that life of bliss has an end date that’s coming up fast. Can Allen and Jenna escape their ties to find their lost siblings? Can Ana and Blake survive long enough for that to happen? Can they find the clueless prince to reserve the damage he’s done before his timer runs out? You’ll have to read to find out…

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!
