Modern Family :Wit against Wit

Ryan_S_1577
Alex Dunphy has spent her entire high school career focused on one thing—being the best. With perfect grades, an impeccable college resume, and zero distractions, she’s always been the smartest person in the room. Until Jasper Allister shows up. A lazy genius with a talent for words, an infuriating smirk, and a habit of quoting literature at just the right moment, Jasper is everything Alex doesn’t need in her final year. Worse, he seems to enjoy getting under her skin, challenging her in class, and unraveling the careful control she’s built around herself. As their academic rivalry turns into something dangerously close to friendship—maybe even more—Alex starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because if Jasper is just an obstacle in her path, why does arguing with him feel like the best part of her day? Enemies. Rivals. Something else entirely. In the last year of high school, Alex Dunphy is about to learn that some stories are impossible to write without an unexpected plot twist.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
