Sine Qua Non Winery

Après trois années de mariage, Wendy Stewart était habituée aux remarques sarcastiques de Michael Lucas, ses menaces fréquentes de divorcer et même son indulgence envers une maîtresse. Elle pensait qu'elle pourrait supporter cela toute sa vie, jusqu'à ce qu'elle tombe accidentellement enceinte d'un enfant que Michael ne voulait pas. Finalement désespérée, Wendy signa l'accord de divorce et partit. Elle pensait qu'ils auraient pu se séparer pour toujours, mais Michael refusa de cesser de la chercher après le divorce. Lorsqu'ils se retrouvèrent, elle était la meilleure designer du monde. Souriant doucement à son ex-mari, elle dit : "Mon cher, nous sommes déjà divorcés." Michael la regarda simplement froidement, "Dis-moi, que faudra-t-il pour que nous nous réconciliions?"

"Lo marah karena omongan gue tadi kan? Jawab gue Sheina." Tanya Vincent sambil terus menatap wajah Sheina.       Sheina memberontak dan hendak menjauhkan tubuhnya dari Vincent namun segera ditahan oleh Vincent. Vincent langsung menarik pinggan Sheina agar semakin mendekat dan kini tubuh mereka sudah saling menempel.     "Lep.. Ahhh lepasin kak. Nanti bibik bisa liat." Ucap Sheina berusaha menurunkan tangan Vincent dari pinggannya.     "Gue ngak peduli, yang penting sekarang lo jujur, lo marah karena ucapan gue yang tadi kan?" Vincent kembali bertanya namun tetap tidak ada jawaban dari Sheina.     "Jawab Sheina." Ucap Vincent kali ini dengan suara yang lebih keras dari yang tadi. Sheina yang sudah mulai kesal melihat sikap Vincent langsung memberanikan diri menatap mata Vincent tajam.     "Mau lo apa sih kak? Lo ngapain sih masih deket- deket gue hah? Lo ngapain masih susul gue ke sini. Lo ngak mau kan kalo gue suka sama lo? Iya kan? Dan satu- satunya cara agar gue ngak suka sama lo ya gue ngak sering- sering lagi ketemu sama lo." Jeda Sheina, lalu melepaskan tangan Vincent dengan sepenuh tenaga.     "Lo ngak usah ketemu gue lagi, gue ngak mau ketemu sama lo lagi kak." Ucap Sheina yang membuat Vincent terdiam sejenak.     "Emang harus ya lo jauhin gue? Gue bukan ngak suka kalo lo cinta sama gue, tapi gue cuman ngak mau lo sakit hati Sheina, dan lo ngak harus jauhin gue. Lo harus selalu ada di samping gue, ngak boleh ada orang lain yang jadi pelindung lo selain gue." Ucap Vincent yang membuat Sheina tertawa.     "HAHAHHAAAHAHA, hebat.. hebat.. hebat banget lo kak. Emang lo siapa gue makanya lo bisa ngatur- ngatur gue sampai gue ngak boleh deket sama orang lain selain lo? Emang lo siapa gue hah? Jawab gue, jawab gue Vincent" Teriak Sheina tanpa memanggil Vincent dengan embel- embel kakak lagi, emosi Sheina semakin menjadi- jadi akibat ucapan Vincent tadi.     "Gue emang bukan siapa- siapa lo, tapi lo penting buat gue, dan gue ngak mau kalau lo harus deket sama orang lain selain gue."     "Munafik, brengsek, egois lo bener- bener egois kak. Lo bukan siapa siapa gue tapi lo ngatur- ngatur hidup gue. Urus aja hidup lo, gue bisa urus hidup gue sendiri kok, lo ngak perlu ikut campur sama hidup gue."     "Gue berhak ikut campur sama hidup lo." Ucap Vincent.

After the crimson meteor streaked across the sky, human civilization stagnated. From that day on, people were no longer able to manufacture a single rocket, nuclear bomb, airplane, or automobile... The pyramid of civilization, built upon modern science, collapsed in an instant, and the disasters were far from over. The gray world descended with the crimson meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, gradually dragging the civilized world into the abyss of chaos. In this era, human life was as insignificant as dust; in this era, humanity shone brightly like the stars. As the great edifice was about to collapse, some saw an actor standing tall atop the ruins of civilization, wearing a crimson robe like blood, laughing and weeping at times. The curtain of the era slowly opened behind him, and he spread his arms, whispering softly to the weary multitude— "The great show... begins."

“I’m glad I save you before you could die from your suicide attempt. There’s no need to worry; I’ve given you a second chance in life.” The last thing that a boy named Claudia remembered was jumping off a bridge to end his own life, but now he’s woken up in the world of Serial Slain, his favorite MMORPG. For years, he had been playing the video game, eventually reaching the top five of the North American leaderboards. He had no real-life friends and seldom spoke to his family, so Serial Slain was his only solace in life. But one day, he loses his only in-game friend, he gets betrayed during a dungeon raid, and he loses all his progress, including every level and item. With no other purpose in life, Claudia committed suicide. His attempt was a failure, and it rendered him paralyzed and cognitively deficient. Luckily, a woman named Virgil gave him the chance of a lifetime by hooking up his brain to a fully immersive VRMMORPG, Serial Slain 2.0—a new update to the original game. Now, as a Tester of the new VRMMORPG, Claudia must defeat the final boss or risk returning to the reality that he hated. Just when he thought he was living his ideal reality, he soon realizes that even the video game world has its fair share of sorrow and suffering. . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dropped. Will be rewritten at some point, but with much more work done on the plot and character development. Version 2 Probably won't be uploaded in the near-at-all future. And when it is, sometime in 2025 or whatever, it won't be on this site, most likely. I don't like the system that punishes authors for having infrequent uploads / irregular schedules. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the same as my other work by the same name, but with some portions removed or edited so as to make it have a less restrictive rating. I'll do my best to make the edits work well and not be jarring. A world in which humans and demons live near, but separately, divided by hatred, fear, religion, and a long canyon. A war, begun by the human lands, that ended with the assassinations of several of the demon generals and the Demon Lord. A retaliation by the demons, poisoning a river without thought of the consequences. That is the most recent continuation of the cycle of hatred, war, death, and fear. A girl, orphaned by the war, fed up with the cycle of hatred, crosses from the demon lands to the human lands. Witness her journey as an ordinary adventurer to end the cycle of war and death, as she gains her own harem and accepts the fact that she's the new Demon Lord. Witness the Demon Lord as she gets into all kinds of situations that she shouldn't have gotten into unless the goddess of fate felt miserable and wanted to distract herself. ** Note: please, for the love of everything good, cute, and fluffy, THOROUGHLY read the long-as-hell author's note (and the later edits/postscripts, which I have separated FSR) that I made be its own chapter. It's just that long, sorry. I ramble in those somewhat often, okay? It does, however, have a lot of useful information scattered around in it... ** New schedule: Nothing at all. Finally, two things. First, this is written in the style of Japanese novels, but without the honorifics... though, every now and then, I might put them in and not remember to remove them. I'll try to keep them out, just because of my personal preferences. Second, I'm sorry about the chapter naming system being screwed up and hard to follow. It ended up as stuff like "Chapter 6: Chapter 1 (3): [slight spoiler], part 2" which can be confusing. To break it down, it goes something like this: [release number] (in this case, "Chapter 6:") [chapter number the way I wrote it in a word processor] (in this case, "Chapter 1") [part number after I split the chapter to upload on this site] (in this case, "(3):") name ("[slight spoiler],") and then a potential further split due to the name, if the name applies to several parts (in this case, "part 2")

Are you sick of normal system novels that are all fantasy and all that? Well, that's not what this novel is! 17 year old Hyun Ferrari is an ugly, fat, tall, pizza-loving nerd boy that reads manga and webnovels and watches anime. He's always wanted to be handsome so he could attract the ladies, but he never thought it was gonna happen since he's lazy and 50 pounds overweight. He has a lot of friends though, but he gets bullied a lot since none of his friends can fight, nor he can either, except his one girl friend Jugyeong Keum, who's in the Taekwondo team at school. But one day, out of nowhere, Hyun sees a screen pop up and it says {System Start}. He thought it was like those novels that have those screens pop up and tell you to do tasks for immediate rewards like "your punches are stronger", or "your ugly black eyes are now green like your father's." Though he thinks he's getting buffs and all that, in all actuality, he's hallucinating, he's having delusions, his brain is telling him to do what he's been telling himself to do for 4 years. Work out, gain self-esteem, ask out a girl, take care of your skin, and QUIT EATING PIZZA! But since he's been ignoring it, his slightly psychotic mind decided that it had to go to desperate measures to make it happen... WARNING! THIS BOOK IS LIKE 80% DIALOGUE IF YOU HATE THAT THEN SORRY XDDDDDDD!

Finally, this life which I was living without any purpose is about to end, why did god make it like this? Well, there's no point in questioning him because there are no gods, to begin with, god is only a thought made by weak people so they can blame everything on him. Everything becomes dark, I don't know why, I reincarnate in a fantasy world that is crueler than my previous world. Monster, greedy nobles, weak crushed by powerful people. But for me, it's a blessing. --------------------- p.s- cover is not mine
