**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that… the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and we have got a long, exciting night ahead of us!" Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political constraints. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

A regular salaryman dies, only to awaken as something inhuman. A monster? An eldritch being? No. Worse, or perhaps greater. An NPC of Nazarick. Reborn as Tawil, the Guardian of Knowledge, he resides within the hidden Vault of Wisdom on the 8th Floor, a place shrouded in mystery, where even Nazarick’s secrets seem to gather and breathe. Bound by the system, yet haunted by the remnants of a human mind, Tawil stands between obedience and awareness. In this abyss that feels more like paradise, he begins to observe, to learn, and perhaps, to quietly defy. For in a world where even gods are players, what does it mean to be a creation that knows too much?

After waking up in a foreign world governed by an invisible energy called "Nen," Khada Jhin sees only chaos and asymmetry.

For in a world of brutes, only death can be sublime. -Jhin is a Character from the League Of Legends verse, Runeterra. Even if you don't know him, give this book a try you will get surprised. Original book, no translation or else. Romance but definitely not the focus of the story.

Nille F. Tsukuyomi, great-grandson of Amparo Pilar Fajardo and Takeshi Tsukuyomi, carries in his veins the hidden legacy of the spirits that dwell between the human realm and the unseen worlds. A mark etched upon his right shoulder bears witness to this power, a silent sigil of destinies intertwined. Born of both Filipino and Japanese blood, he is also a direct descendant of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, the crescent moon etched beneath his tattooed Enlil symbol glowing with quiet significance. Towering at six feet, with silver-gray eyes that pierce through darkness and long black hair that flows like midnight, Nille stands as a living convergence of two ancient mythologies. In a world teetering on the edge of war, haunted by the remnants of forgotten gods and restless spirits, he must navigate the duality of his heritage, awakening powers drawn from both the ancestral spirits of the earth and the divine luminescence of the moon. Enemies lurk in every shadow, drawn to the strength and legacy he carries—those who would seek to claim it, and those who would destroy it. Yet Nille’s path is not only one of survival; it is a journey of identity, of destiny, and of mastering the delicate balance between mortal blood and divine essence. In his veins flows the pulse of ancient worlds. In his heart burns the struggle between human will and celestial inheritance. And the fate of both realms may hinge upon the choices of this extraordinary scion, whose very presence is a bridge between what is seen…and what is eternal. If you want, I can also craft an even more cinematic, “opening-novel style” version that reads like the first paragraph of an epic fantasy, with a sense of impending war, mystery, and supernatural grandeur, it would

What does it mean to be a true hero? By day, brash and cocky Micheal Frills is just another high school student navigating friendships, family, and the mundane struggles of teenage life. By night he’s a vigilante cleaning up the streets one criminal at a time. But when a sadistic mastermind, Shadow, emerges from the darkness, Micheal finds himself trapped in a twisted psychological game that will test everything he believes about justice, and morality. Shadow doesn't just want to defeat Micheal—he wants to break him. To prove that beneath the hero's ideals lies a killer waiting to emerge.

Through the eyes of Micheal Frills and the time spent around his friends, True Hero explores what happens when virtues like trust, hope, and courage are weaponized against good people. True Hero contains mature themes including graphic violence, sexual assault, suicide, abuse, trauma, and death. Reader discretion is advised.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.
