Bridegroom of Damnation

In the Fifth District of the City of Welfanshelm, there is a shepherd named Mizmaze, who takes care of someone else's pasture and herd of sheep. He didn't ask for anything, and has only bread and milk to fill his hunger every day until dusk settles. It is his normal life, until the last day of the year when he is obliged to meet with his master, only to receive a Sigil and obtain mysterious special abilities. Like his name, he buried his past in a labyrinth within himself, and such secrets must never be known even to him as well. But his new life will change the trajectory of the normal life he wants to live. Because he now becomes a Child. Not a child, but a Child who gains power. A Child that is accepted in a sect called . . . Orphans. 「For seven seasons, you have tended my herd of sheep without asking for anything in return. So shall there be a sevenfold reap for you alone as a token of my gratitude. I bestow upon you my blessing, but beware, for there is a flaw.」 「I shall open you a path now to ascend, Mizmaze of the Fifth District of Welfanshelm.」 「You are to rise as the Blind Prophet.」 Little did he know this would be his road as the bridegroom of damnation. ━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━ Main Genre: High Fantasy Additional Tags: TowerClimbing, Inheritance, Orphanhood, Selfhood, Godhood, Singularity, DeathGames, Trials, SpecialAbilities, Gore, Dark, Mythology, Epic, Symbiosis, Heirhood Invented/Hidden Tags: ??, ??

I became a Mirror but I am too overpowered.

Lee Eunwoo was a completely ordinary Korean office worker. Actually… no. He was even below ordinary. He had no talent, no money, no girlfriend, and his boss treated him like a disposable NPC. His only hobby was reading trashy webnovels where the protagonist becomes the strongest being in the universe. One day, after staying up all night reading a 3,000-chapter cultivation novel, Eunwoo muttered: “If I got reincarnated, I’d definitely do better than this idiot protagonist.” Then he died. Just like that. Truck-kun didn’t even bother slowing down. ⸻ The System Appears When Lee Eunwoo opened his eyes again, he didn’t see heaven. He didn’t see a fantasy world either. He saw himself. But something was wrong. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t blink. He couldn’t breathe. And then a mechanical voice echoed. [Welcome to the Universal Reflection System.] [Host has been reincarnated as: Mirror.] Eunwoo: “…Wait.” At first Eunwoo believed his second life was cursed. He was just a mirror in a dusty antique shop in a small fantasy town. But then a thief broke into the shop. The thief looked into the mirror. And suddenly— BOOM. The thief collapsed unconscious. [Skill acquired: Reflection.] Anything shown in the mirror… Can be copied, reflected, amplified, or reversed. Magic spells? Reflected. Sword skills? Copied. Curses? Returned to sender. Even divine abilities could be mirrored. The stronger the opponent, the stronger Eunwoo becomes. ⸻ Eunwoo’s Biggest Problem The system kept giving absurd powers. But Eunwoo misunderstood everything. Every time he gained a new ability he thought: “This is probably the weakest starter skill…” Meanwhile the world thought something completely different.

This is absolutely discontinuous nonsense

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back. (I’ll post roughly 3 chapters a day for the first two weeks, then ease back to 1 chapter a day after burning through my backups. The times will be around 9 a.m., then 18–20 server time. That’s it. Bye.)

Legacy NO.9

Heldrix Beauséjour died at fifty years old on a street corner, thirty years after a girl lied and a jury believed her. Ten years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, then twenty more as a ghost nobody would hire, while the football career that could have been his burned to ash before it ever started, but the truth came out too late. She confessed on national television while he bled out on cold pavement, struck by a truck he never saw coming. His last words were a wish. **|WISH ACKNOWLEDGED.|** **|REGRESSION PROCESS INITIATED.|** He opens his eyes at nineteen years old. March 15th, 2026, at a party, in a bedroom, with the girl who destroyed his life straddling him and tearing her own shirt to frame him for assault, but this time he knows what's coming. This time he screams first. **|CRITICAL MISSION: ESCAPE FALSE ACCUSATION.|** **|STATUS: COMPLETE.|** **|WELCOME TO THE LEGACY SYSTEM.|** Heldrix Beauséjour, Pau FC Academy striker, with an overall rating of 53—barely good enough to survive the academy and nowhere near professional standard, yet he brought something impossible back with him. Thirty-one years of obsessive football knowledge from watching every match he could find while rotting in obscurity, and a system that tracks every movement in real-time. **|Current Rating: 53/99.|** **|Finishing: 51. Speed: 58. Jump: 46.|** **|Pathetic by professional standards.|** **|SYSTEM: "With those stats, I don't even know how you are still at the academy."|** The system doesn't grant instant power-ups or manipulate time, but it will make him unstoppable, because every training session earns stat points while every match pushes limits, and the grind never stops until he reaches the top. **|QUEST COMPLETE: 100 SHOTS ON TARGET.|** **|REWARD: +2 SP.|** **|FINISHING: 51 → 52.|** From the bottom of Pau FC Academy to Ligue 2 breakthrough, while critics call him a fluke and rivals call him lucky, but Heldrix knows the truth. Hard work beats talent when talent stops working. **|OVERALL RATING: 60 → 70 → 80.|** **|Elite Player Status Achieved.|** From Pau FC to top European clubs, where Champions League nights become reality and the Ballon d'Or podium gets closer with every season, and the world starts asking where this unknown striker came from. Nobody knows he's already thirty-nine years old. **|OVERALL RATING: 85 → 92 → 99.|** **|GOAT Status Achieved.|** **|Mission Complete: Become the greatest footballer in history.|** They destroyed him once with lies, so they called him a criminal and a failure and threw away his future, but now, with the mind of a thirty-nine-year-old in a nineteen-year-old body and a system that rewards every drop of effort with power, Heldrix will rewrite football history.
