Reborn in a land of swords and magic called Oceros, Dilhan, a former streamer from a strange world called Earth, decided to make a living by streaming since that was the only thing he knew how to do. But this land, Oceros, was a world of a Souls-like action RPG game called "Blighted" that Dilhan had played before he died on Earth after exploding a nerve while stuck on the same boss for an entire day. Despite all of this he decided to live a normal life as a streamer but what was this? Instead of building a channel and gaining fame, he began attracting crazy followers and insane women seeking his "bodily blessings." People started treating him like a god and treating him like some kind of a messiah, while others labelled him a heretic and attempted to kill him. Did he understand all of this when he decided to hit that "Start Streaming" button? This is Dilhan's journey to become the first streamer in the land of Oceros, a world plagued by a being known as the Harbinger. Will he become the first streamer in this world, or will he become something more to its people? *** Author's Note: —This story has R-18 elements to it, but no netorare (NTR), or Yuri(Lesbian). —This story is a work of fiction and all the character names, locations, ages, and events depicted are purely the product of the author’s imagination.

ABSTRACT Religion was never the problem. Power was. This work undertakes a forensic dismantling of the machinery by which sacred knowledge originally encoded in mystery traditions, Mosaic law, Kabbalistic structure, and pre-canonical scripture was systematically extracted from its esoteric root, flattened into doctrine, and redeployed as an instrument of psychic governance. What institutional religion calls faith, this text identifies as a manufactured epistemology: a controlled framework of meaning designed not to liberate the seeker but to administrate the believer. Drawing from the suppressed architecture of excluded biblical texts, the symbolic grammar of Mosaic tradition, and the occult jurisprudence embedded in grimoire literature, the argument advances a single, irreducible thesis that the distance between revelation and religion is precisely the distance between gnosis and obedience. Every canon is a censorship. Every creed is a perimeter. Every prosperity gospel is a financial derivative of divine language, stripped of its metaphysical collateral and sold as spiritual equity to populations conditioned to confuse surrender with salvation. This is not an atheist text. It is something more dangerous a theologically literate, philosophically rigorous indictment written from inside the tradition. It does not deny the sacred. It refuses to allow the sacred to remain hostage to the institutional. The manipulation was never about God. It was always about who gets to speak for Him and what they extract from those who believe.

They called him obsessed. A college dropout. A ghost who trained in silence. To Raifu, every punch, every breath, every stance was sacred. When death finds him, it’s not an end—it’s his entrance to a new realm. A slave world. A place where people are born as Alcries—beings bound to one stat, one fate, and one master. But Raifu is not bound. Each combo he performs sends ripples through reality. Every strike bends the laws of space and time. He’s the first Skillweaver—combat as code, rhythm as rewrite. And the world will either harmonize with him… Or be shattered by the beat!

Set against the backdrop of a new college life, Aishi and Ayush’s chance encounter slowly blossoms into a tender bond of friendship and unspoken affection. Though their hearts quietly gravitate toward each other, neither finds the courage to voice their true feelings. As their connection deepens, they are confronted by an unyielding reality—the divide of their different religions. Bound by the expectations of family, society, and deeply rooted beliefs, their relationship is pushed to the brink. Caught in a delicate balance between love and duty, Aishi and Ayush must face an impossible choice: will they defy all odds to be together, or will the barriers of faith ultimately pull them apart?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end.
