    The first story, which you can finish in 6 minutes, is pure realism. No system, no rebirth, no cheat codes, but the heroine's actions in the book could be replicated in reality. The second story is only about 10 minutes long; a disabled heroine is tricked into interstellar travel, hunted down, escapes, and ultimately fights back to become queen. You can find clues in the latter half, around chapter 300 of the third story; interested readers can check it out. [Sending a heart]
