(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

"Lost in Flames, Found in Dark" Some love stories don’t begin with hello. They begin after the end. She was once the light in someone’s storm — wild, warm, unforgettable. Then, in a single moment, Shruti vanished. No note. No clues. Only a silence that shattered the hearts left behind. He searched for her like a man possessed. Burned down every lie, bled for every truth — until all that remained was rage... and a love too deep to bury. Years passed. And somewhere far from the wreckage of the life she once knew, a girl opened her eyes in a hospital bed. Her name was different. Her reflection — unfamiliar. But the ache in her soul? The flashes of another life? All too real. A scar she doesn’t remember getting. A voice she still hears in her dreams. And eyes — cold, broken, beautiful — that feel like home. He doesn't know her. Not anymore. But something in him stirs when she’s near. A storm. A memory. A promise not yet fulfilled. As their worlds collide once more, past and present bleed into one. The girl who shouldn't exist remembers a life no one believes. And the boy who lost everything now stands at the edge of rediscovery… and ruin. This isn’t just a second chance. It’s fate demanding what death tried to steal. Love. Longing. Pain. Fire. And a mystery that binds their souls beyond lifetimes. Because some hearts never stop searching. Some memories refuse to fade. And some love stories are written in scars. --- SNEAK PEEK The night air was sharper than she'd expected, and the thin fabric of her top did nothing to help—but she’d already refused his jacket with full drama ten minutes ago. Pride came before comfort, apparently. From the couch behind her, Dhruv watched in silence. Head slightly tilted, fingers resting near his lips. He didn’t comment. Yet. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” she muttered. “A little,” he admitted. She rolled her eyes, still facing the balcony. “This is where a gentleman offers warmth. Maybe a hot drink. Or, you know... human decency.” “You rejected the jacket and the blanket. Can’t save you from yourself.” She opened her mouth to sass back, “Unbelievable.” Before she could finish being annoyed, she felt him. He was behind her—close. His body heat rolled into her back like a slow, deliberate wave. She gasped softly, more out of surprise than cold. His hands slid into hers with quiet certainty, wrapping them up gently. Then, his arms circled around her waist, pulling her lightly against him. Her breath caught as his chest pressed warmly against her back, the thin fabric of her top doing nothing to shield her from the way his warmth spread over her skin. “Dhruv!” she gasped, her voice half protest, half flustered mess. Her words scrambled as he leaned a little closer, breath grazing the side of her neck. “Better?” he asked, low and completely unaffected.

Yokai Awakening follows the rise and fall of a bloodline tied to both glory and ruin. Long ago, Prince Mydeimos Crimson, the firstborn of the Crimson King, stood as the strongest of his kind—a ruler blessed with love, family, and unmatched power. But in a single tragic moment, he lost everything: his wife, his children, and even his own life. No one, not even the Crimson King himself, knows how he truly died. Centuries later, the Crimson name is no longer a symbol of peace but of fear—monsters seeking to reshape the world in their image. In this new era, a boy named Jae Hoon is born. Unlike the corrupted legacy of the Crimsons, Jae cherishes his family, dreams of protecting those he loves, and longs to create a better world. From childhood, he learns magic, awakens his mana core, and begins uncovering the hidden truths of the world—and of himself. But fate is cruel. Betrayed and humiliated by Princess Liora in the royal capital, Jae returns home only to find his village in flames. There, before his very eyes, a hooded figure slaughters his people and rips his father apart in the most horrific way imaginable. Cornered at the edge of a cliff, Jae faces certain death—until a mysterious system appears before him with a single question: “Do you wish to awaken?” That moment marks the beginning of Jae Hoon’s Yokai Awakening—a rebirth into a world filled with political issues,power hungry, deadly yokai beasts, and unending war. Yet even with his new strength, peace is fragile. To survive, Jae must endure betrayal, political strife, and battles that push him to his very limits, all while uncovering the mysteries of his reincarnation, the Crimsons, and his own destiny. At its heart, Yokai Awakening is a tale of fantasy, action, reincarnation, and hope—where one boy dares to challenge fate itself to forge the world of his dreams.

HI, So I guess I should greet you, or should I greet the energy behind you first? So I am Adi, who can see spirits since childhood, and I was not pretty proud about that fact, but now it is my life, so a greater kind of mess is about to happen in my life.

In the vast expanse of the Andromeda galaxy, an alternate Earth spun on its axis, scarred by the fires of the Fourth World War. Every nation had poured its strength into the conflict, and every nation had broken. Militia status was stripped from them all in the aftermath, their armies dissolved under the weight of mutual ruin. For reasons lost to the chaos of those final days, the planet itself was renamed Planet Vaelion. From the ashes, the world was restructured. The land divided into nine continents. The old countries retained their names and borders, their cultures and peoples, yet true political power shifted upward. Sovereignty now rested with the continents themselves. Only nine militaries remained in command, each overseeing vast territories. No single country held its own forces. The old flags still flew, but the chains of command answered to continental authority. Two thousand years passed. It was now 2000 Aww4 — two millennia After the Fourth World War. The scars of that ancient cataclysm had faded into history, myth, and uneasy peace. On Planet Vaelion, amid the rebuilt continents and lingering shadows of the old order, the story of Akshat Aether began. The purge was coming. And with it, everything would change once more.

It's already here.

In a world where life was not just sustained by the rhythmic pulse of an organ. Where way more was asked for to remain. A kingdom was grieving the loss of a princess, as 2 siblings were grieving the loss of a sister. One was conscious but banned from attending her funerals while the other one was unaware and busy fighting the same ending. Two siblings fighting the same system that put their family, their people and their positions of monarchs at risks. One rejected the system entirely, while the other was slowly consumed by her faith in the power it held. Both were surrounded by allies who believed in their cause, yet remained exiled far from the homeland they once called theirs

1000.....years......that's as far as I can count before I stopped. From that point on, I don't know how long I have been falling down....the Void is indeed infinite, but at least it's quiet here, gives me time to think, to look back at what I've learned, and do something about them....just to maintain something of myself.... Who knows? Maybe I will need them once I arrive at a new world.....hard to tell, maybe I will keep falling until this last soul fragment of mine wither away.... Memories? I don't think I need them anymore....not that they are pleasant....most of them are.....painful...a living weapon made to slaughter.....Wait....do I need them anymore? There are still those care about me, right? 'Mother' 'Friend' 'Love', at least I know there are 3 of them care about me....wherever they are.....but....do they still remember me.....or can I return to them one day? Hard to tell..... How long has it been? I don't know....3000 more years.....2 seconds....I don't know......maybe I'll sleep alittle, *yawn* let's hope when I wake up, I see more than darkness........

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

The light that will eat out all the darkness in the world. Zoe, the most powerful light wizard in existence, is nearing her death. She's already over 10,000 years old and no man was able to capture her heart. The only partner she had was her cat. Her cat's name is Beru. Its color is black with a shade of emerald green. Its eyes are as hollow as the abyss. There's no pupil, no color at all. Looking at it will make you see the past and the future. Sitting in her chair made out of adamantium, the god mineral. She is reminiscing about her past. How she struggled from being an orphan, to being a slave and finally after being recognized having affinity with mana, she was saved and was taught about magic. Her breathing is getting rough. Her body is collapsing and her eyes are barely open. With her last breath, she uttered her last will to her precious cat. She said, "Find the most promising creature and impart to it all the knowledge that I have accumulated over 10 millennia." The cat did not respond, instead it only stared into her eyes. Zoe passed away with only one regret and that would be not experiencing what normal humans do, falling in love, having kids and growing old with someone she loves. Now that Zoe is gone. Beru is now the only one left inside the castle. The castle is located at the top of the tallest mountain in the north. With its harsh climate, having a temperature of minus 100 Fahrenheit (minus 100 celsius). There were countless adventurers who tried to explore the tallest mountain, hoping to encounter treasures. But what awaits them are the creatures hideous enough to scare the shit out of them. Those encounters with the monsters spread to all adventurers and no attempt was once again made to explore the North.

Alternative Title: Villain's Saviour, Game Over Again Lin Ji’an, a modern master chef, never expected to wake up inside a dog-blood BL cultivation novel. Worse, she transmigrated into the role of the "vicious cannon fodder", the crossdressing Third Young Master destined to humiliate the future Villain and die a miserable death by his hand. Her mission? Simple. Feed the starving slave boy and the future villain, Xie Wangchen, fix his broken body, and make sure his "Blackening Value" doesn't hit 100% and destroy the world. She beats up the arrogant Heir, face-slaps the evil Stepmother, and cooks her way into the Villain’s heart, purely to survive, of course! But as they head to the Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Ji’an realises something is wrong. She thought she was raising a cute, obedient little brother. She thought she was just a "straight bro" helping him out. She thought the main plot’s protagonists would chase the original MC. So why is the Villain looking at her with eyes darker than the abyss? Why is he threatening to cripple anyone who smiles at her? And why are the original male leads suddenly lining up to taste her cooking? Lin Ji’an: "I’m just here to cook and survive! I’m straight! And I’m a girl!" Xie Wangchen, who was sharpening his sword, looked up with a smirk tugging in the corner of his lips, "Luggage? No. You are my world. And I never let go of what is mine."
