As Cynthia is pulled into a dangerous web of hidden truths and deadly games, she must navigate a world where trust is lethal, love is a trap, and every revelation brings her closer to the darkness waiting at the edge of the forest. In this place, the ghosts are real, the treasures are cursed, and survival comes at a price no one could have imagined. The Treasure Search is a chilling tale of vengeance, secrets, and blood-stained ambition, where every step toward the truth threatens to be your last.

When the poor are sold and the rich buy lives like they’re shopping for groceries, Kara rises as a symbol of resistance. Kenneth Hanniger is assigned to stop her, completely unaware that this mission will shatter everything he believes about what “right” and “wrong” even mean. Warning: This is a slow burn, motherfuckers. If you’re looking for nonstop explosions, plot twists every five minutes, or insta-love that makes zero sense, turn back now. You’re gonna sit here and live inside Kara’s head, get dragged through her mess of chaos, guilt, and badassery, and yeah, sometimes it’s uncomfortable as hell. You’ll also peek into Kenneth’s grumpy, half-drunk detective brain, which is basically a masterclass in complaining while still being competent as fuck. This story doesn’t rush. It doesn’t care if your attention span is short. Every conversation, every step, every stupid, reckless, brilliant thing these people do builds tension, stakes, and feels. If you stick with it, you’ll get explosions of emotion, moral fuck-ups, and action that punches harder because you’ve lived through the damn buildup. So buckle the fuck up. You’re in for a ride, and the slow burn is the point. Miss it, and you’ll never feel the impact of what’s coming.

Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

When death is just the beginning of a worse story... Marcus Reeves, a burnt-out 28-year-old IT worker, dies in a truck accident and reincarnates as Caelan Ashborne—the forgotten bastard son of Duke Valorian in a cultivation fantasy world. But this isn't just any world—it's from a webnovel Marcus read, and he knows exactly how this story ends. In two years, his mother Elara dies of illness. Three months later, he's murdered by his half-brother. Both deaths are footnoted in a single line: "unmourned and unremarked." Refused to accept this fate, Caelan discovers he has the Apex Sovereign System—a power that lets him grow stronger through combat, achievement, and bonds with others. Dual cultivation with trusted partners accelerates growth exponentially. There's just one problem: the only person Caelan truly trusts, the only one who's ever loved him unconditionally, is Elara—his mother. As political schemes intensify and assassination attempts begin, Caelan faces an impossible choice. Traditional cultivation won't make him strong enough fast enough to change their fates. But crossing the ultimate taboo—becoming his mother's lover to save her life through forbidden dual cultivation—will make them outcasts even among outcasts. From forgotten bastard to rising power, Caelan must: Master the cultivation system before his enemies master him Navigate deadly family politics where siblings murder for favor Build a faction from the estate's other forgotten children Steal away his half-sister from a cruel arranged marriage Face the novel's "heroic" protagonist who's destined to win Make impossible choices between morality and survival In a world where power is everything and family means nothing, Caelan will forge his own path—even if it means rewriting the very story he's trapped in. Love. Power. Taboo. Survival. Some destinies are worth breaking. Some bonds are worth any price.

“Everyone expected them to be legends—no one asked what it cost.” In a world ruled by elemental houses and unforgiving expectations, power is a cage. When the Heavenly Realm begins to collapse, four young leaders are cast down into the mortal world—a place where magic fades, titles mean nothing, and survival strips them to their core. Ember, a fire prodigy feared for her temper, hides a terrifying secret: the fear that she is only worthy of love when she is perfect. Melissa, an earth mage scarred by years of cruelty, masks her unspoken rage with silence. Between them, a fragile, slow-burn bond grows—one forged in the shadows of a realm that demands they be weapons, not women in love. Kai, the cold, controlled Commander, finds his iron resolve shattered by the one person he can’t command. Felix, whose laughter hides a broken heart, is the only one brave enough to look behind Kai's mask.

In a world of shifting loyalties and familiar enemies, they must face the ultimate question: Who are they, when the world stops watching? What to expect: ✨ GL / WLW (Ember x Melissa) ✨ BL / MLM (Kai x Felix) ✨ Found Family ✨ Hurt/Comfort & Slow Burn ✨ Elemental Magic System ✨ Hidden Heir Identity

For Xal, losing someone is a punishment. For Kian, living is a punishment. Xal has stopped believing in fate or anything beyond the edge of death.

I died. Again. [System Notice: You have died.] The message appeared so often that I stopped reading it after a while. The font never changed. The tone was always polite. Death, apparently, had excellent customer service. Fire. Poison. Betrayal. Execution. Death and I had cleared every route together. [Cause of Death: Fatal.] By my tenth death, I was annoyed. By my thirtieth, bored. [Death Count: 876] [Tip: Avoid dying.] By the time I reached my hundredth death, the system stopped offering advice. [Death Count: 9870] [No tips available.] That was when I realized something was wrong. Or rather… Death itself was starting to give up. [System Error.] [Respawn Failed.] …Huh. Even Death, it seemed, gives up.
