S.P.E.C.T.O.R - [A Sci-fi space adventure with fantasy elements]

Adam was having a great time camping in the woods with his girlfriend until they were suddenly attacked. During the attack, his girlfriend was shot while he was thrown from a cliff. Unconscious and on the verge of death, an android appeared before taking him to a spaceship, Spector, which healed him up. Now this Spector wants him to be its operator, so that they can leave Earth. But before that, he needs to settle the grudge he has against those who attacked him and killed his girlfriend. Armed with advanced technology, Adam hunts them down before heading out to explore the universe. Strangely, though, he has to do all this and more while livestreaming to the whole universe. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Schedule: Daily. This story is also available on RoyalRoad, Webnovel and Patreon. Access 50+ chapters on Patreon.com/Sweeps083 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/D2FWBPA3yc ------------------------------------------------------------------- I plan to use the usernames of readers who leave comments as some of the livestream viewers in the novel, so if you want to be included, leave a comment. Also, add what planet you would like to be from and if you would rather your viewer be pro MC or against the MC, or maybe you just want to see the universe burn. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Regardless of space years, temporal incidents, appearances, and mentality, all individuals in this story are over 18+. Sexual content, while not the primary focus of this novel, is a part of it. The warnings listed below are in the chapter titles that have sexual content. * = Minor sexual content. ** = Around 1/2 of the chapter has sexual content. *** = Over 3/4 of the chapter has sexual content. This novel also contains Yuri elements. While there is technically a possible harem member who has a futa, I have already thought of a way around it, so there will be no futas in the harem.

Shadow: I Can Use All Elements

Shadow: I Can Use All Elements

Let’s be honest. You’ve probably read a hundred stories like this before. Guy gets a system out of nowhere. A cheat appears. Some mysterious force decides to gift him power like it’s a free trial. Yeah… that one. This is not that. Because instead of receiving a system… He built one. With his own hands. Inside his own body. And no, this has never happened before. Not even once in history. This is the first system ever created. Not gifted. Not found. Not stolen. Made. His name is Shadow. Yes, it sounds like he’s trying too hard. No, he didn’t choose it. Blame his family for that one. At sixteen, he did something insane. He successfully installed a system inside himself using forbidden rune theory and logic that most people would reject immediately just by hearing it. And somehow… It worked. Now here’s where things get interesting. Infinite mana. That means he doesn’t run out of energy. Ever. No limits. No exhaustion. No “you’re out of mana” warnings. But don’t get excited yet—he still has to actually learn how to use it properly. So right now, it’s less “overpowered invincible mode” and more “unlimited fuel inside a machine he hasn’t finished building.” “Oh cool, a system.” No. He made it. “Oh cool, quests and leveling.” Yes—but this one answers to him. “Oh cool, one million beast cores requirement.” Yes. And his reaction was very simple: “…You’re joking.” In this world, people are born with limits. One element. One path. One destiny. Shadow looked at all of that and decided something very simple: “I’m not doing that.” Now let’s clear something up. He is NOT overpowered at the start. He is NOT invincible. But he is something far more dangerous: A person building the thing that will eventually make him unstoppable. He is smart. The kind of smart that turns impossible theories into reality just because he thought about them long enough. He is calm. The kind of calm that usually shows up right before something goes very wrong for everyone else. And he is observant enough to turn everything he sees into something useful later. Now about people. Some fear him. Some try to understand him. And some realize too late that they never even existed on the same level of “understanding” as him in the first place. And then there are others… Especially women. Some find him hard to read. Some find him strangely attention-grabbing without knowing why. And some realize, even without meaning to, that their eyes linger longer than they should. Not because he is trying to charm anyone. But because something about him simply pulls attention without asking for permission. He doesn’t chase it. It just happens. So yeah. This is a story about Shadow. The guy who didn’t receive a system. He created one. And now the world is going to find out exactly what that means. Unfortunately for everyone else… That discovery won’t be gentle.

Deep Night on Vesper Island

Deep Night on Vesper Island

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance. Thus, a fabricated rumor that Stella Sterling had spent a fortune to hire a Matchmaker from a dating site to find her a partner quickly spread through her circles. Those on good terms with her teased and watched the fun. Those on bad terms with her waited to see her become a joke. Later, an employee from the dating website revealed, "The company was acquired with an investment from a Vicenzan tycoon, and the profile of a certain female member with the surname Sterling was hidden overnight." The public speculated wildly about the identities of the Vicenzan tycoon and the female member with the surname Sterling. - Later on, a candid street photo that was accidentally captured went viral. In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring. Like a footnote to a romance, and even more like a vintage film frame etched into the axis of time. Someone immediately dug up the man's identity based on clues from the photo. The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"

What are the elements of postmodern fiction?
Well, in postmodern fiction, there are several important elements. There's the play with language. Postmodern writers often use language in creative and unconventional ways, playing with words and grammar. Irony is also a big part of it. Things are not always as they seem, and there's a sense of self - mockery or mockery of traditional literary forms. Additionally, there's a lack of a single, overarching meaning. Instead, the text can be open to multiple interpretations, inviting the reader to engage more actively in making sense of the story.
