Zoey has no idea what it means to be normal. Everything she touches has a taste, and her father’s identity is a town secret. Her sisters have their own issues. While it's a struggle for Celeste to connect with the world, Ruby, who has a flair for the dramatic, doesn't worry about anything. Orphaned at birth, the fourteen-year-old triplets live with their aunt and mark seasons by the annual migration of captivating birds. Despite an almost idyllic childhood grounded in Aunt Flory's home-cooked food and family values, Zoey struggles with her identity in a community where the Starling family is the subject of gossip. But secrets run deep in the small town, and the triplets aren't the only ones with something to hide. Zoey soon discovers that the truth isn't obvious and different perspectives shape the world. It's always how you choose to look at things that matters most. Bugs, Weeds, and Water is created by Evangeline Greene, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Meet Park Jin-woo: coding genius, ramen aficionado, and champion of the chronically sleep-deprived. His life revolves around debugging nightmares and wrestling with legacy code… until a particularly nasty bug literally zaps him into a world of pointy ears, fire-breathing lizards, and magic that's about as stable as a beta release. Suddenly, "Hello World" takes on a whole new meaning. Turns out, Jin-woo's knack for fixing code translates surprisingly well to wrangling wayward spells, and he's soon Aethelgard's resident "magical troubleshooter." But when a power-hungry sorcerer threatens to rewrite the rules of reality (and not in a good way), Jin-woo must swap ramen stains for rune-etched robes and unleash his inner code wizard. Because saving the world is way more important than a good night's sleep… right?

A note to all developers: when you open your virtual reality MMORPG up to beta testers, make sure to test the logout feature. And if their headsets have a tendency to spontaneously combust when their characters die, maybe call the manufacturing company before slipping one on yourself. When Cody accidentally traps thousands of people in his video game, things quickly start to get out of hand. And the worst part? He's stuck in there with them.

Cody may not be the hero of this story, but he's determined not to be the villain. The only question is: do the players even want to be saved?

In an extraordinary world filled with untold horror, where a massive chunk of history was forcefully torn from the annals, humanity was forced to face an unprecedented calamity. Extraordinary Factors brought fantastical changes upon the world, expanding its volume by more than a million times, along with extraordinary abilities that naturally awakened within the genes of men, but it also brought untold horror and calamities along with it. In this world, abilities are as numerous as stars, with countless heroes and sages going against the calamity. Humanity was unprecedentedly united, yet countless lives were still sacrificed, innumerable promises broken, many dreams shattered. But courage had always been the Hymn of Humanity. There were no other choices, nor there was a way of retreat. Extraordinary men and women took up their weapons and rolled up their fear, their faith surging and rising all for the sake of that tiny chance of victory. This war, this calamity, this despair, this fear, this sorrow, this grief, they shall not back down from them! Heavens may had abandoned them, but they couldn't give up. The price of defeat was too steep, too much for them and the humanity as a whole to bear. One day, a person of ordinary origin transmigrated into a baby of this calamitious world, achieving the perfect harmonization of baby and man. Xander: "...Damn!" Xander cursed. However, he soon noticed that he could see nametags... above bugs. 『Intelligence +0.05』 Such a nametag appeared above the cockroach. ...Should he eat it? Xander: "I'd rather die! Might as well kill me!" It wasn't until a smart jumpy spider took notice of this odd juvenile bipedal creature that Xander, the very juvenile bipedal creature, finally understood. After a great reckoning, a life-changing change occurred. 『Impression imprinted successfully. +0.02 Wisdom』 Xander: "Would you die if you tell me how it works?!" As Xander grew up, he witnessed everything he need to witness and met everyone he need to meet. It was also at that moment that he realized a very bitter truth. Why it is that in such a despairing, hopeless world, so many beautiful people must be born and bear the weight of the world? Why it is that the crueler the world, the gentler, kinder, and more beautiful the people? These wonderful people, wouldn't it be better if they were just born in a peaceful world? Xander: "...What a sick joke." Many fated encounters, unknowingly, would bring unpredecented changes to this calamitious yet extraordinary world! Perhaps this hopeless war... was not without hope, after all.

When she opened her eyes, she had inexplicably returned to twenty years ago, the first day of the apocalypse escape. "Classmate, you're a Superpower User, right? How about considering joining our special operations squad?" Looking at the man opposite her with sparkling, charming eyes, Xie Ning heartlessly refused: "Thanks, I have a team." "Ah, what team do you have?" "No team." "Right, you're beautiful, so whatever you say is right. How about this, you join our squad, and I will accompany you through wind and rain, and go through fire and water with you to clear dungeons and kill monsters." "Every single day, year after year?" "Mhm! I will work hard to make money, and only for you. How does that sound?" Xie Ning: ... After being reborn, her small Space has turned into a large, mobile villa, and she originally just wanted to live her own quiet little life in peace. Never did she expect to attract such a clingy, devilishly charming man. Question: How does one heartlessly and coldly reject a charmer? Waiting online for an answer, it's quite urgent...
