War rages on Earth and billions are dead, simply caught in the crossfire. The Monarchs, conniving and cruel, want a sandbox. The Rulers, twisted with time and no direction, want to take it from them and hoard over it. Every fight leads to more ruins, more uninhabitable land. More death.

Between the gates full of monsters trying to claw their way into their world and the gods fighting over them, civilization is collapsing and humanity is doing all it can to survive.

Jinwoo Sung, having lost everything in his world to time, knows nothing waits for him back home. He drifts in the void between worlds, something in him searches for a home to call his own, to own and to protect. Perhaps its his instincts as both Ruler and Monarch. When he brushes against the border of another world, he hears it. Countless desperate prayers, uncollected and drifting for whoever will listen, pleas for help, for mercy. There is one voice in particular that he recognizes, uncharacteristically small and losing hope. Jinwoo cannot ignore it.

Being shoved into a new body was not something he ever expected to happen after dying.

Then again, he didn’t think things like transmigration were real in the first place.

So what did he plan to do with his new life? Just live comfortably and enjoy what he couldn’t before.

But things never go as planned. Ever since he found out he was in the world of The King’s Avatar a few minor things changed.

The new plan involved playing Glory and avoiding canon. Simple and easy.

But it was in fact not simple and easy.

In which trying to avoid canon goes extremely wrong and that idea gets thrown into the garbage way too soon.

“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

”Father,” she corrects.

”Your father,” he agrees.

“We have a D rank dungeon scheduled for today at 2pm–”

“Wait… is this Sung Jinwoo?”

Jinwoo flushed. His trainer was still sitting next to him, listening in. “It is. Can I add your name to–”

“Are you working for the KHA now? I thought you died!”

“I’ve only been gone for two weeks,” Jinwoo said, his voice flat.

Neil doesn’t understand the appeal of porn, until one day he walks in on his roommate Andrew watching it and they begin exploring it together.

Eventually, Neil comes to find that he does like porn—specifically, the kind that Andrew films for him.

Damen watched him go, waited until he was out of sight, and then opened his incognito tab. 

Laurent’s face stared back at him, with a light blue background and airbrushed quality that all professional headshots had. Damen tapped at his chin. Yeah, he thought to himself. There’s no way anyone looks like that.

Damen and Laurent meet to set up a deal. Things do not go according to plan.

No matter what, Shen Yuan is going to grind the ten thousand points necessary to afford the penalty he’ll incur if he refuses to throw Binghe into the Endless Abyss! Every day he ekes out a few points for playing a song on the guqin, more for acting in character, and of course some satisfaction points from praising his white lotus disciple. It’s not like being more artistic is a hardship, anyway. It’s the small joys that make life a pleasure, and that includes expressing yourself through music… and building up a new collection of fandom merch once his OOC restriction is gone. Watch out System, he’s going to take the trashfire of PIDW and polish it into a work of art!

“Every day on Qing Jing Peak, he played the guqin, read books, wrote calligraphy, [and] painted paintings…” – Chapter 4, Vol 1, SVSSS

They shared a few similarities- the light brown shade of his eyes, the elegant slope of Shen Qingqiu's nose- but that was the end of it. Thick frames covered a third of the man's face, and unlike Shen Qingqiu's flawless complexion, this stranger's skin was grey and dull.

/Luo Binghe has been searching endlessly for a way back to that kind Shen Qingqiu. For some reason, he keeps running into a frail young man by the name of Shen Yuan.

When pair skater Yuuri Katsuki’s career comes to a scandalous end, he does not expect the retired pair skating legend Viktor Nikiforov to suggest that they compete together. But taking on a new skating partner is full of trial and error, and the skating world doesn’t know how to react when the Katsuki-Nikiforov duo, against all odds, starts doing well. The last thing either of them should do, as they strive for their last chance at greatness, is to fall in love. Yuuri knows he is damaged goods, and Viktor knows his body is starting to fail him. They have competitions to survive and medals to win. No, falling in love is out of the question; they’re just very good friends. And even if Viktor felt something, he’d never act on it, and even if Yuuri happened to be hopelessly in love, he’d be mortified if Viktor ever found out.

“Well,” Viktor said, “let’s summarise: I’m pushing thirty, have a bad ankle, and haven’t skated competitively in three years. You’re barely out of a doping scandal, coachless, and on the JSF’s blacklist. Hell, Yuuri – we might as well go for it, then. What on earth do we have to lose?”

When Viktor put it like that, it seemed to make an awful lot of sense.

Park Ryung was a simple man with a simple goal, once he realized he was in the world of Solo Leveling. Make Sung Jinwoo's first few miserable years of being a Hunter- a little easier. Surely he was capable of giving some support to the protagonist if he really put his mind to it.

He had no idea how that backfired so hard.

“Ugh, who invited the world’s weakest hunter…?”

“Why is there an E-Rank at a D-Rank gate? Won’t he just get killed?”

“Hey! This is a good thing! If the world’s weakest hunter is here, that means that the raid’s gonna be easy!”

Jinwoo was used to the whispers, had heard them every day ever since his awakening. Except one day, that would all change. A chance meeting with the White Tiger Guild before he ever set foot in the Double Dungeon would change everything...

 

Or

Sung Jinwoo's Incomprehensible survival in dungeons throughout his 4 years as an E-Rank Hunter is noticed. As a result, he is drafted into becoming a rookie Hunter teacher, and this changes everything.

Nakahara Erena was reborn to a world of war. Too bad she was a pacifist.

Or: how a genius tries to navigate through the world of the Elemental nations, befriending Itachi and Shisui, only to find the world is a lot more messed up than she ever thought it could be.

"it's you, when we have to choose, it's you."

he doesn't even really mean to say it, especially not in the middle of the conversation, but he can't help himself.

"i know," porsche says, resting his chin on his hands with a smile, "but i win, i chose you first."

kinn laughs, and porsche pouts, but his pout wobbles into a smile, and he laughs too.

"okay, i'll let you win. isn't that what marriage is about?"

it feels too good to say. it feels addictive to say, it feels like jasmine and gardenia and linen suits and soft sand, it feels like seeing porsche kneeling from the corner of his eye and trying to keep a straight face while a calloused thumb anoints his forehead, it feels like forever, like the first in a long line of times that he'll say the same thing, feel the same way; i'll let you win over and over and over again, to see you smile at me like that, he thinks, and he feels like it's written all over his face.

Andrew doesn’t want to bother with casual sex. So he goes for the next best (worst) thing.

Squalo is having a perfectly miserable day—he’s surrounded by maniacs, the Ninth’s latest power play is pissing him off, his Sky’s still out of commission and, most alarmingly of all, Lussuria has been humming for the past two days—when instead of another load of paperwork the answer to all his prayers shows up on his front door.

Unannounced. In the shape of a little kid that looks like Primo reincarnated and possesses all the survival instincts of a drunk college student on a post-finals binge.
