SpellxEdge Online: The Ranker Reborn as an Extra

Kaito's life was a slow fade, his youth stolen by a terrible, incurable disease that left him bedridden for most of it. His only comfort, his only way to connect with a vibrant world, was a full-dive VR reality headgear. It was actually medical gear, meant to help bedridden patients live in a digital world, but for him, it became everything. Inside that digital realm, the game SpellxEdge Online was Kaito's sole escape from his hospital bed. He poured his whole life into it, becoming the top player, ranking number 1 for consecutive years on the global arena across all servers. Then came the night the new server was released. Kaito, eager for new challenges, immediately put on his headgear and logged in. But the moment the device glowed, his body shook, and he died right there while wearing it. The next thing he knew, he woke up in Arcensis, the fantasy world where SpellxEdge Online's story mode happened. A System greeted him, telling him that gods were watching, and they all had different ideas about his new life. Some felt pity, others found him amusing, and some actually wanted him to fail in the world he'd grown to depend on. But no matter what they wanted, all the gods expected him to try his absolute best with this unexpected new chance. Thrown into this digital world as just an extra, Kaito was forced to start from rock bottom and work his way back to the top. He soon spotted many of the main cast from the game's story, from the powerful Grand Master to various professors and villains. But what Kaito really hated were all the super generic plots and characters in the game. He absolutely despised the relentless positivity and cheerful attitude main character who smiled through every problem, the ever-likable childhood friend who always liked the MC but never got him, the rival who was the total opposite of the MC, and the female lead stuck between the two. What challenges will Kaito face in this new reality? How will he grow stronger, and can he truly escape his fate of being an extra stuck at the bottom?

The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

Reborn as an NPC in the Great Tomb of Nazarick

This is an AU! In a world where Earth is dying and humanity struggles, virtual reality games, especially the VR game YGGDRASIL, provide an escape. Momonga, the leader of a powerful race in YGGDRASIL, remains online as the game faces shutdown. Alone, he reconnects with a comrade, Bukubukuchagama, before YGGDRASIL's closure. Meanwhile, in Nazarick's Royal Suite floor, an androgynous character named Thoth, a trapped soul, anticipates freedom as the game ends. Upon the game's closure, Thoth gains control of his movements and discovers his angelic form. As Thoth explores his new abilities and surroundings, a mysterious world awaits beyond the virtual realm. With an enigmatic library, magical prowess, and a goal to adapt to the new world, Thoth embarks on an adventure, uncovering his true potential and encountering diverse characters within the Great Tomb of Nazarick. As the story unfolds, alliances, conflicts, and loyalty to the supreme one, Momonga, shape the fate of Nazarick and its inhabitants in ways not even the Supreme Beings could anticipate -x-x-x- I've only seen the anime, and have only read the later half of the LN (at which point, the story will be completely different anyway so it won't matter), so forgive any inaccuracies. Also, I don't know much about angel lore as an atheist, so I'm gonna be making up my own stuff. Hope you like the story and have a good one.

My Magus Academy is Run by Players?! [Western Cultivation LitRPG]

“Do you want to know what it feels like to have players at your beck and call?” Victor Asteriscus is just like any other acolyte treading on the Magus path until his comrades betray him for a broken artifact. In a moment of desperation, he accidentally stumbles upon an abandoned academy and receives a System that can summon… players? One thing is for sure, these “players” from his old world will help him embark on a quest to develop the academy, complete various missions, and harness the power of magic. Let them kill magical beasts so that he can be promoted further? That’s too simple! With an army of fearless, immortal players and a sassy assistant fairy under him, what’s there to fear in this world full of endless dangers and mysteries? Come join Victor in building the greatest academy the world has ever seen and conquer the entire universe! Contains: LitRPG, Fantasy, Power Fantasy, Comedy(?), Western Cultivation, Settlement (Academy)/Kingdom Building, Magitech, Dungeon Diving, Crafting, Strong to Stronger MC, No Harem, and much more. Author is a great fan of WMW; however, the story has a totally different setting, magic system, and characters. This one is definitely not as grimdark as that. Other than that, this story is also based on a lot of other novels with similar setting of summoning players. The story is a bit slow pace at the start, but it will pick up once the setting is established.
