SONGS OF THE HEAVENS; my song for the sky

People think being small is cute. It’s not. Not when you’re eighteen, trapped in the body of a five-year-old, and every stranger pats your head like you’re a lost child. I’m Xiao Tian, born with white hair, pale skin, and eyes people like to stare at too long. My parents say I was “beautiful enough to be cursed.” I don’t believe in curses—at least I didn’t before. I stopped growing at age five. My body froze, my bones sealed, and time ignored me. My sister—who used to hide behind me—now looks like my older sibling. Even in high school, teachers questioned if my ID was fake. But I still tried to live normally. That ended the day I found the scroll. Old… strange… covered in patterns like dragons choking stars. I touched it—the thing burned into my mind like molten iron. Not metaphor. I mean I felt it slide into my brain. Since then, I don’t dream like humans. I dream of twin figures on a tower of chains—backs touching, one leaking blinding light, the other suffocating darkness. Both look exactly like me. Now I spend my time in the national library searching for answers. Thousands of years of recorded history… still nothing. No myths match what I see. No symbols match that scroll. The only change is my mind. If I touch a book, I learn it. Not read—learn. Word for word. Page for page. Medicine, physics, coding, mythology… all of it stays like cold metal in my skull. But none of it explains why gods scream my name in my sleep.

Divorce? Fine! The Frail Wife is Actually a Yakuza Boss

"Hanae, let’s be honest. You’re too plain. You’re boring. Emi is fragile and needs me, but you? You’re sturdy enough to survive on your own." On their wedding day, Kenji didn’t just break Hanae’s heart—he humiliated her in front of all of Neo-Tokyo, leaving her at the altar for her manipulative, "sickly" stepsister. Everyone expected the gentle, soft-spoken Hanae to cry. They expected her to beg. Instead, she sighed. "You’re right, Kenji. I am sturdy." RIIIP. With a single motion, Hanae tore the silk wedding dress from her body, revealing not the soft skin of a housewife, but rock-hard muscles, scars from a thousand battles, and the terrifying dragon tattoo of the "Asura"—the legendary, retired heir of the Kurosawa Yakuza Clan. For six years, Hanae starved herself, wore baggy clothes, and pretended to be weak just to fit Kenji’s ideal of a "delicate wife." Now, the act is over. The Dragon has woken up. Step 1: Beat up the ex-husband’s bodyguards in high heels. Step 2: Sign a contract marriage with Ryuuji, the dangerous "Demon King" of the rival syndicate. Step 3: Remind the entire underworld why they used to fear her name. When Kenji realizes that his "useless" wife was actually the mastermind behind his success—and the only woman capable of protecting him—he comes crawling back on his knees, weeping for forgiveness. Hanae looks down at him, cracking her knuckles with a smile that promises violence. "Forgive you? Sorry, my husband gets jealous when I play with trash."

I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair!

THE FRIEND I TRUST

Amara thought she had everything— A loving husband, a peaceful home, and a future she could trust. Daniel was her safe place, the man who loved her with a calm intensity that made her feel chosen every single day. But behind Amara’s world of comfort was a shadow she didn’t see coming— Tonia, her “best friend,” a woman who smiled sweetly but carried a heart full of jealousy. For years she hid her obsession for Daniel, silently wishing Amara’s happiness was hers. When Amara’s insecurities begin to grow, Tonia sees her chance. With carefully crafted lies, twisted advice, and pretend concern, she pushes Amara into decisions that slowly destroy the trust between husband and wife. Arguments rise, distance grows, and love starts to crack under pressure—just the way Tonia planned. Daniel tries his best to hold their marriage together, confused by Amara’s sudden change and hurt by accusations he doesn’t deserve. Yet he refuses to stop loving her, even as their home begins to crumble. When the truth eventually shatters everything, Amara is left heartbroken—betrayed not just by her friend, but by her own fears. Daniel must decide if love is enough to heal wounds caused by manipulation and mistrust. And in the middle of the storm stands Victor, Daniel’s loyal friend, who becomes his emotional support as the marriage falls apart. But Victor also sees what Daniel can’t—whether Amara is still worth fighting for. This is a story of love poisoned, trust broken, betrayal uncovered, and the painful journey toward forgiveness—or letting go. A tale where hearts are tested, loyalties are questioned, and the truth hurts more than the lies that created it.

The scrapped concepts

Han Taewon, just some random streamer with a past as a martial prodigy who became a national champion at 18 and was about to debut to international level. But the thing called luck is sometimes bad, really– extremely bad. After a supposed accident, his body burnt to the point that it was impossible for him to compete at International– not even national level anymore. Nowadays, just existing, streaming. Living in a shut-in life style for 3 years, it had already caused him malnutrition, muscle loss, sleep deprivation, weak bones, weaker immunity system and an unhealthy body. He passed the day just like any other day, the only difference being that it's his birthday and also the fact that he promised his subscribers that he will really prove who he is. Waking up really early in the morning, doing a light jog and walking up to a park, sitting there in a daze before coming back, chatting a bit with the security guard. Everything is the same. He goes to a freind's convenience store to buy some things, but his body starts to feel weaker as signs of nausea also starts. He goes to the store, where his freind whom he made after coming here, does a small birthday celebration for him knowing he won't do it himself. Han comes out of the store, but his nausea keeps becoming stronger as blood also starts coming from his nose, which he again ignores as just another weird symptoms of his condition. As he heads back to his apartment, his headache and nausea keeps becoming stronger before collapsing just outside his apartment. A pain, as if billions– no, trillions of needles have been stuck into his legs, which keeps on creeping up his body while also becoming stronger till it reaches his throat as another bolt of pain stronger than all the pain he has been experiencing and all he sees is himself. Suddenly– he wakes up in a entirely different place, still vividly remembering what happened. Confused, he runs out of the room as another impossible headache hits him and blood trail comes out from his nose. The next moment, he opens his eyes in a completely bland gray world. He knows what he has to do right now. Complete a homunculus. As the original owner of the body is still here, with him, switching body every half a day. Now Han has to navigate in a completely unfamiliar yet well as familiar world to first be independent, only then find a purpose.
