Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Although Wisana was the son of a developer of “Pride Online”, the most popular game of this time, he had never shown any interest in the gaming world. However, when his crush mentioned she was playing the game, he immediately joined in! He began his journey as a clueless new player, so inexperienced that even a two-year-old could defeat him! His misfortune was endless from the start… First, he landed in front of a Boss-level monster! Then, he accidentally kicked the boss and had to run for his life… And when he tried to sell his items for some money, he almost got tricked by a cunning seller! Yet, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Just as he was about to fall for the seller's trick, a girl named Maysa suddenly appeared and saved him. She taught him everything about this virtual world and even invited him to join her party. Who would have known… that their lives would change forever… The system would like to announce an event from the GM, hunting the Boss “Lord Inferno” at the abandoned dungeon with a Mini Event “Get the shot if you dare!” “This is definitely our event,” Maysa said, looking up at Wisana with sparkling eyes. Wisana turned to look at the pretty face that was made up with a smile as always. But he somehow felt anxious. “I changed my mind. We’re not going to Tristan tomorrow. We’re going to the abandoned dungeon!” “Huh!!” And so, the legendary adventure of the duo began!

# RELAXED Liu Qing is reborn and goes back two years in time. He starts his reborn life at the point of getting a breakup text message from his girlfriend. Previously, in that life, he dated his girlfriend for a few years, and used all the money he earned from being a security guard to support her and pay for her lifestyle and living expenses when she quit her own security guard job to go back to school. However, in the end, she looked down on him after she found an office job, then cheated on him and eventually left him for another man. To add insult to injury, in his desire to have a simple life with his girlfriend, he rejected the chance to reunite with his wealthy estranged mother and missed out on the opportunity to become a rich second generation. He was overwhelmed by immense grief after all that and fell into a deep depression that eventually destroyed him. In this life, Liu Qing is determined not to become a simp again, especially since he is being given another chance to change the path of his life. He says to her, “Let's come clean. Isn't it good to break up? I don't have to be your spare tire anymore. You can also live with your one true love. We would each get what we want.” Then he resigns from his security guard job to reunite with his mother. When everyone asks him why, he says, "Because I am going to inherit assets worth billions of dollars!"

Damien hat sich dieses Leben nie gewünscht. An ein Krankenhausbett gefesselt, gekettet von einem Körper, der ihn verraten hat, verbrachte er seine Tage im Kampf gegen den grausamen Scherz des Schicksals. Doch als ein einziges Videospiel seinen letzten Rest Geduld zerstörte, sah er sich etwas noch Schlimmerem gegenüber – seinem eigenen Spiegelbild, hineingeworfen in eine Geschichte, die niemals seine hätte sein sollen. "Verdammtes NTR-Spiel!" sagte er, als er die Konsole wegwarf. Im Spiel war der Spieler nichts als eine tragische Figur. Ein schwacher, rückgratloser Narr, dazu verdammt, beiseite geworfen zu werden. Ein Charakter, dessen einziger Zweck es war, gebrochen zu werden. Aber war das wirklich alles, was er war? In eine Welt geworfen, die ihn verachtete, weigert sich Damien, nach dem Drehbuch zu spielen. Wenn das Schicksal seinen Untergang bereits geschrieben hatte, dann würde er seinen eigenen Weg bahnen – einen Weg des Trotzes, der Wut, des Überlebens. Beobachte, wie Damien, ein Mann, der einst nichts mehr zu verlieren hatte, darum kämpft, die Kontrolle über eine Geschichte zu übernehmen, die nie für ihn bestimmt war. Denn in einer Welt, die von ihm verlangt, schwach zu bleiben, wird er entweder alle Erwartungen zerschmettern... oder alles mit sich niederbrennen. -------A/N------- Die Hauptfigur, Damien, ist stark von Johnny Silverhand aus Cyberpunk 2077 inspiriert. Daher sind die Gedankengänge der Hauptfigur und seine Art zu sprechen möglicherweise nicht für jeden geeignet. Aber diejenigen, die es ertragen können. Ihr werdet belohnt werden.

Damien never asked for this life. Confined to a hospital bed, chained by a body that betrayed him, he spent his days battling the cruel joke that was fate. But when a single video game shattered his last shred of patience, he found himself facing something even worse—his own reflection, cast into a story that should have never been his. "Fucking NTR game!" He said as he threw the console. In the game, the player was nothing but a tragic figure. A weak, spineless fool, doomed to be discarded. A character whose sole purpose was to be broken. But was that really all he was? Thrown into a world that scorned him, Damien refuses to play by the script. If fate had already written his downfall, then he would carve his own path—one of defiance, of rage, of survival. Watch as Damien, a man who once had nothing left to lose, fights to take control of a story that was never meant to be his. Because in a world that demands he stay weak—he will either shatter expectations… or burn everything down with him. -------A/N------- The main character, Damien, is heavily inspired by Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077. Therefore, the main character's thought processes and his way of speaking may not be for everyone. But those who can stomach it. You will be rewarded. ---------- One or two chapters daily. Chapter Length 1500-2000 You can check my discord if you want. You will be able to see the illustrations here and engage in a conversation with me if I am available. https://discord.gg/qRknX5hTur

Pero cuando un simple videojuego destrozó su último fragmento de paciencia, se encontró enfrentando algo aún peor—su propio reflejo, proyectado en una historia que nunca debió ser suya. "¡Maldito juego NTR!" Dijo mientras lanzaba la consola. En el juego, el jugador no era más que una figura trágica. Un tonto débil y sin carácter, condenado a ser descartado. Un personaje cuyo único propósito era ser destruido. ¿Pero realmente era eso todo lo que él era? Arrojado a un mundo que lo despreciaba, Damien se niega a seguir el guión. Si el destino ya había escrito su caída, entonces él trazaría su propio camino—uno de desafío, de ira, de supervivencia. Observa cómo Damien, un hombre que una vez no tenía nada más que perder, lucha por tomar el control de una historia que nunca estuvo destinada a ser suya. Porque en un mundo que exige que permanezca débil—él destruirá las expectativas... o quemará todo a su paso. -------N/A------- El personaje principal, Damien, está fuertemente inspirado en Johnny Silverhand de Cyberpunk 2077. Por lo tanto, los procesos de pensamiento del personaje principal y su forma de hablar pueden no ser para todos. Pero aquellos que puedan soportarlo. Serán recompensados. ---------- Uno o dos capítulos diarios. Longitud del capítulo 1500-2000

Ashton is stuck between an underwater volcano, and a heart devouring dragon. Metaphorically speaking anyway. The princess of the sea has sworn on her mother's life to drag him down. Problem is, Ashton can't be killed. So after hundreds of years of pulling beasts of legend to her side, rewriting history, and backing him into a corner where he broke his heart into pieces, she thinks that with one final push... she may convince Ashton to simply end his own existence. Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered. Ashton would have even found it mildly poetic that the slain dragon was now forced to bless the land for all eternity... if, and emphasis on the IF, the blessing hadn't been twisted into a curse for the last 700 years. Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend? Well, maybe three outcomes. Maybe this time a heart will sing for him as he ascends... a bird can hope.
