misunderstanding

One scam package, That's all it took to drag the 17-year-old Cail into the world of the void. ... I thought I had ordered a limited-edition sneakers. But what came was a shady-looking package on my front gate. It smelled like rotten egg and sulfur. Inside the package was a strange box. It's filled with eccentric junk. They looked very intricate and mysterious. I thought I probably got someone else's package, a package from someone that was very interested in mysticism. An old coin, a cracked compass, a ring with an ugly center stone, and some other weird looking trinkets. So I did what any broke student would do: I sold it. I figured someone might want them for cosplay or something. Well, except the gold-rimmed glasses that seemed to fit me very well. Damn, I paid 7,000 nu for that sneaker; I better get something out from this scam package. Then all hell broke loose. Strange people started approaching me. People brought that junk. Very strange people wearing suspicious get up trying to buy those stuff in the sketchiest manner possible. As I kept selling, I realized that the box was refilling, it seemed to have an endless supply of those strange stuff. Those people called it 'artifacts'. Then one day I woke up with a strange tattoo on my arm; inside the tattoo was an independent space containing the box. It is basically inseparable from me. I didn't ask for any of this to happen. But now, strange people come to me with desperate offers. Money, memories, and even soul.  I'm just trying to survive high school while earning some money! I had no idea what was going on, but apparently, this thing I got? It's not just an artifact. It's a contract. As Cail navagates school life, part-time jobs, and otherworldly clients, he starts asking the real question: When did I become an artifact dealer?! By day, he is just an ordinary student, a NPC character. And by night? He is The Dealer. Selling ancient items and dealing with people that he probably shouldn't be talking to. Since I'm already in this mess, might as well profit off of it.

"Mr. You Xuan, many people believe that the current state of the dueling world has become increasingly unhealthy, with heavy trap decks and overly defensive strategies dominating the mainstream.

You Xuan angrily responded to the accusation. "How can they say I’m the one who led this trend astray? Dueling has always been like this!" --------------- If you want early access to +10 Advance chapters and to support the continuation of this story, consider subscribing to my Patreon.

Everybody knew it. It was an unspoken truth. There wouldn't be any Wizarding World without the Farrows. If the Sacred Twenty-eight were a royal court, the Farrows would be the royal family. Always perfect, always proper, always in the highest positions. Prefects, head boys/girls, headmasters/ headmistresses, ministers. The Farrows ruled their world ever since the first Farrow was selected to be taught by Rowena Ravenclaw. Ruthless, clever, and calculating. That's how they climbed to the top and stayed there for a millennium. But as their empire crumbles beneath their feet under the pressure of upcoming war, will they stay true to their family credo?

Alex Grey was a normal boy—at least from his point of view. One day, he bought a weird game called Chaos, one that he couldn’t find on any website. As he kept playing the game, strange things started happening around the world. But because of his odd personality, he didn’t realize the things he had caused. Playing Chaos with a gamer’s mindset, he noticed that after completing every quest, he received real-life rewards. Yet, with his introverted nature, Alex kept living as if everything was normal, without a hint of worry—unaware that he was slowly becoming entangled in a mystery no one had ever been able to solve. Alex: "Youth is nothing but an excuse to escape your mistakes." Ivy Grey: "That's such typical loner thinking." Alex: "..." ------------------- What you can expect: 1) This novel is not your typical novel about just MC but other also give good amount of time depending on other characters role. I try my best to write out not only their personality but their growth also. 2) The starting is bit light-hearted with more time the momentum will keep going up. Read first 20 Ch to get a grip. 3) The relationship between MC and other are also something I focused you can expect some good stuff here because in this story their is no brainless person (Atleast I hope so). If you find something incorrect do tell I will try my best to improve. Also my writing style can be weird sometimes atleat I have not since any author here use dialogue so much.

In a world where status is measured by glowing stars above your head, Kael Virell bears the mark of failure—a 0-star. Mocked, rejected, and stuck with nothing but a seemingly useless mop in his inventory, Kael has spent his life bouncing from one humiliating job interview to another, scraping by on dry sarcasm and stubborn pride. But when a flyer for the Grand Arcanum Academy lands in his lap—offering food, shelter, and a job as a janitor—Kael finds himself at a crossroads. Scrub toilets for arrogant nobles or sleep on the street? It should be an easy no. But the academy is no ordinary place. Between enchanted staircases, unpredictable magic mishaps, and secrets hidden deep in its star-lit halls, Kael might just discover that being a janitor with zero stars doesn’t mean being powerless. Especially when the mop starts to glow.

Accidentally becoming a terrorist wasn't on my college bucket list, but here we are. One anonymous post, a bit of dry ice, and a suspiciously trusting browser later, I'm the government's newest "criminal mastermind." Spoiler: I'm just a broke student who failed 11th grade. Now the internet thinks I'm Moriarty's long-lost cousin, my parents are questioning my life choices, and I'm starting to wonder if Nietzsche was onto something about chaos and power. It's not easy juggling tuition, intrusive thoughts, and a reputation I didn't mean to build-but hey, at least I'm trending! If you've ever thought "This can't get worse" and life said "Hold my coffee," welcome to my world.

Telmaris. A nation where strong hunter's guilds set their quarters due to its livelihood and abundance of dungeons. But amongst all of them, a certain guild, with no affiliated nations, is rumoured to be the strongest yet craziest of them all. They are called…Grim Fate. Zephyr Gersche, is one of the hunters currently residing in Telmaris as of recently, though his powers and features are as human as it gets. With the threat of monsters growing each day, participating guilds within Telmaris and other regions have called for a gathering.

When the cameras stop rolling, who are you really? Rae Morgan isn’t just the girl next door—she’s the face on every screen, the name on every trending list. A rising teen actress with a dazzling smile and a schedule packed with interviews, premieres, and rehearsals. But behind the flawless image is a girl craving normalcy, tired of being scripted and seen but never truly known. Enter Milo Reyes—quiet, grounded, and the kind of guy who prefers sketching in the margins of his notebook over chasing anyone’s spotlight. He’s not impressed by celebrity status or staged smiles. And he definitely never planned on talking to Rae Morgan… let alone liking her. Thrown together in the hallways of Halston High, their worlds shouldn’t make sense. But slowly—through sarcasm, secrets, late-night talks, and unexpected honesty—they begin to unravel each other’s carefully guarded layers. This isn’t a fairy tale. There’s no perfect moment, no instant chemistry, no neat and tidy ending. Just two people finding something real in a world that expects them to fake everything. Unscripted is a slow-burn high school romance about fame, identity, complicated friendships, and the unexpected love that changes everything—on screen and off.

[2025 WSA ENTRY] Darin was just a simple blacksmith. He wanted a quiet life, a steady job, and maybe enough money to fix the hole in his roof. But fate had other plans. Thanks to an unfortunate mix of coincidences, a ridiculous prophecy, and some very excitable villagers, Darin suddenly finds himself labeled as the reincarnation of an ancient, all-powerful Dark Lord. Now, knights want to slay him, cultists want to worship him, and political schemers want to manipulate him, all while he desperately tries to convince everyone that he is just some guy. With misunderstandings piling up faster than he can escape them, Darin must navigate a world that insists on making him its next great villain… whether he likes it or not. A comedy of mistaken identity, accidental power plays, and one very confused protagonist, I Was Mistaken for the Reincarnated Evil Overlord is a lighthearted fantasy adventure where every denial only makes things worse. [NO HAREM]

Very sensitive topics are dealt in this book and it happens early on to provide context which I don't know how readers would view it. But this is what would make sense of the weird characters and sometimes foolish decisions that I myself can not understand. [WSA 2025 Entry] In the bustling city of Metropolis in the World of Tamers, on the 18th birthday of its citizens, one goes through a binding ritual -a rite of passage- if successful you get a Pet, Companion, Entity, anything you want to call it and if you are not successful you lose your life, simple. There is nothing to worry about, with a success rate of 9%, not many go through it but if binding is successful, you get access to the privileges of high society, a life of comfort and luxury. Where do these Pets originate? What purpose do they serve? And why is such a binding necessary? What matters is the future that one can have so why bother about the past and its mysteries? After all, why dwell on the unknown when the path to prosperity lies clear? There will be companions lost, whether by your hands, your friend, or your enemy, all of which is part of the journey. What matters is how much you are willing to sacrifice for the dream only you share. This is a story of different people on their journey to the lives they dream of. They will encounter adversaries and be faced with some decisions and doubt if this dream they pursue is quite achievable but it is all part of the story, their story or a story they will all share

"The more the Church supports me, the more it proves I have done the right thing. The more the heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing." "Even when heretics praise me, it further proves I'm right. If heretics stay silent, it shows I have done impeccably!"

With no officers, no structure, and a bunch of equally green KATUSAs (Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army), the trio is given a vague mission: build trust with the community and support however they can.
