When Lu Ye woke up, he found himself as a "scapegoat" in the demon royal palace, bearing the identity of the demon emperor and trapped in a den of monsters!

The captain, whose limbs are hooves, is loyal and devoted; the prime minister, whose tongue flicks like a snake, harbors murderous intent; and even the harem is filled with stunningly beautiful enchantresses.

The Rabbit-Eared Lady served the Emperor late at night; was she trying to verify her identity?

The Nine-Tailed Queen is furious and wants to expose my disguise?

Lu Ye was originally a pure human, but he was forced to put on the skin of a demon emperor. If he was not careful, he would be doomed!

At the crucial moment, the [Great Imposter System] awakens with overwhelming power—the more convincing the acting, the richer the rewards!

So Lu Ye suppressed his panic, used violence to mask his guilty conscience, and ruthlessness to conceal his scheming. He proceeded cautiously through the treacherous palace, outwitting the demons and playing the double agent game.

But who would have thought that those enchantresses who originally wanted to kill him would gradually develop infatuation and admiration in their eyes when they saw his decisive and ruthless appearance?

"Whether he is the true Demon Emperor or a fake substitute, from this day forward, I am the sole ruler!"

Finally, Lu Ye let out a cold laugh, shedding his feigned timidity. Wielding the power granted by the system, he, a mere human, forced the entire demon realm to grovel at his feet!

#GameInvasion##NoCP##NotLoneWoman##NotInvincible##NotTraditionalPowerNovel

A game called "Divine Invasion" descended upon Earth without warning, and players who entered the game were granted their own divine talents.

If no one completes each game instance within 48 hours of its opening, the game will immediately descend into the reality of Earth, and the corresponding city or region will be declared overrun the next second.

Yu Nian struggled back from the brink of death, only to find herself back 48 hours before the game invasion for unknown reasons.

After seizing the initiative and re-entering the Divine Invasion Domain, Yu Nian discovered that she had gained an extra divine talent, while her original talent had been frozen and sealed away.

She progresses through the levels, only to discover that her memories have been altered, and the mystery surrounding her sister's life and death gradually emerges.

As the game invasion intensifies, the fragments of the truth gradually come together—rebirth is not accidental, and talent is not a gift.

She was deeply caught in the paradox of time and the game of the gods.

This is her only chance; she must tear this divine playground apart and reclaim what she has lost.

To find a way out of a desperate situation, to tamper with the rules of a gamble.

Her only follower called upon her name in the face of certain death, hoping to escape a desperate situation.

She orchestrated a conspiracy that transcended time and space, laying down a desperate last resort, all to save the life of her beloved.

"I'll bet all of this..."

"It's just my paradox, a footnote to my destiny."

[Relaxing] [Daily Life] [Management Bureau]

The sun burns in the deep sea, and roots spread across the sky.

Gears sprouted from people's bodies, and the upside-down city fell like a meteorite.

Fang Jiu once thought that these things, which only existed in his imagination, had nothing to do with him, an ordinary citizen, until the night his head was chopped off...

To end the curse that had plagued his family for millennia, he chose the darkest path.

As the 97th Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has always been a gentle and revered leader in the hearts of all his members. However, as the curse increasingly erodes his life, and as he foresees that his daughters will repeat the same mistakes, on the verge of despair, he makes a choice that will shake the world—to make a deal with Muzan Kibutsuji and become the most hidden Upper Moon Zero.

By day, he remains the lord who guides everyone in the fight against demons; by night, however, he is loyal to his millennia-old nemesis. When the truth is revealed on the eve of the final battle, the Demon Slayer Corps' faith crumbles overnight. The former "father" becomes the most despicable traitor, and the Pillars who once swore their undying loyalty turn their blades against each other.

But at the end of this sin-soaked road, does Kagaya hold a trump card that can turn the tide for a thousand years? When wisteria blossoms alongside bloodshed, this game of chess that began with betrayal will finally reach a shocking conclusion.

"The rating just came out; it will rise later."

Quick transmigration + scumbag abuse + abstract + torture to death

The system remains constant, but the male leads come and go.

The strictest father in the pseudo-human gender-swapped form.

What? Reborn and still a loser? Then don't bother being reborn.

What? Your wife killed your mother for your "white moonlight" (a term used to describe someone who is unattainable love), and you're going to leave in despair? Then you might as well die with her...

Cthulhu + Cards + Intellectual Battles + Fate Game

"Fate is a deception, and I am the one who weaves it."

In a world unseen by ordinary people, some use cards to open "doors" and peek into the taboos behind them.

They call themselves Mystics, trading cards and gambling with reason, seeking survival in the game of fate.

Si Ming, a skilled poker player, originally wanted to make a living in casinos, but won a "mysterious card" in a gambling game.

From then on, he stepped into this abyss interwoven with "gates" and "cards"...

There is no luck here, only deception.

There are no rules here, only domination.

There are no winners here, only manipulated actors.

He presents himself with a thousand faces, playing different identities, deceiving the hunters and also deceiving fate.

However, his "mysterious card" whispers an even deeper lie—

"Do you think you're weaving destiny? Do you think you can control everything?"

"No, you're just another character written into a script..."

The whispers behind the door are beckoning; the card's true name cannot be spoken.

The gambler's chips have been laid, and his fate is sealed.

When everything settles down, will you still remember your true identity?
