An ex-pro FPS player (♂) reincarnates in a fantasy world filled with magic… Only to learn that what greeted him was not a scene from one’s dreams, but a muddy battlefield full of bullets flying to and fro! Moreover, he’s now an orphan girl named Touri Noel?! After her aptitude for healing magic was discovered, she decided to volunteer in the army as a second-class medic, all to raise money for the orphanage where she was born and raised. However, without even getting magic training, she is attached to an assault squad, repeatedly fighting on the most cruel battlefields on the Western Front. The mission given to her was to become the personal medic of the frontline’s ace, Garback, and not let him die at any cost.

On the front lines, mired in unreasonable orders and violence, Touri’s fierce battle for survival begins…

Breaking into his reclusive neighbor's backyard wasn't Aidan's best idea-but he never expected to find a man chained to a tree like a beast. Grey-eyed and starved, the stranger is hauntingly beautiful... and dangerously inhuman. Because he isn't a man at all. He's something more sinister. Now, Aidan is tangled in a web of secrets darker than he ever imagined. Trapped between a creature who craves him and a world that would never believe the truth, Aidan has two choices: run while he still can or risk everything for the monster who might just be more than he seems. Tropes: Forced proximity, monster romance, touch-starved supernatural being, forbidden attraction, reluctant caretaker, found family.

In a world where gods rule not with wisdom, but with fear, one man bears the cost of their lies. Kaelen, once the greatest general of the Valthorian Reach, was the chosen weapon of the war-goddess Valkara—bound by oath, forged in blood. But when the truth behind a divine war is revealed, Kaelen is cast aside, betrayed by the very gods he served. His sacred pact is shattered, leaving him scarred, broken… and something far more dangerous. Now known as the Shattered Oath, Kaelen wanders the frozen wastelands with his son, Theron—a boy raised in silence, shaped by survival, and burdened by a father consumed by rage. When the gods send their immortal hunters to erase him, Kaelen is forced back onto a path he swore to abandon: vengeance. Guided by a cryptic outcast god and armed with the remnants of his broken soul, Kaelen sets out on a journey across realms—to find a way to kill the divine. But every god that falls brings the world closer to ruin. Every act of vengeance demands a greater sacrifice. And as father and son walk deeper into a war against heaven itself, they must confront a terrifying truth— The gods are not the only monsters in this story. "The Oathbound Cycle" is an epic dark fantasy saga of betrayal, legacy, and the cost of breaking the world to save it.

On the day of my execution, my father laughed, my clan cheered, and my blood stained the earth. But death was just the beginning. I was Himiko Higuruma, the betrayed heir of a forgotten age. Now, I am a nightmare of cracked porcelain and black shards. I am no longer human, but I am still a Queen—and my court is built from the corpses of those who wronged me. A Curse does not age; it only evolves. What began as a massacre in the ancient forests of the Heian Era is merely the first stitch in a tapestry of blood. My shadow stretches across the centuries, waiting for the world to turn, waiting for my name to be whispered once more in a modern age that thinks it is safe. From the ancient past to a fractured future, my judgment is eternal. The porcelain throne has waited eight centuries. It is time for the world to find it wanting.

Zara Ademi is a law intern stretched thin — paying tuition, supporting her siblings, and quietly counting down to her mother's surgery. When her closest friend Lena is found dead in her boyfriend's apartment the morning after a party Zara skipped, the police are caught between two verdicts: suicide or murder. The boyfriend, Ethan Mears — a game developer with no registered weapon and a spotless lobby exit on camera — seems untouchable. But the corridor camera went dark for thirty-nine minutes. The murder weapon has vanished. And the bullet caliber matches the very gun modelled inside his own game. With no badge and no authority, Zara does what she knows how to do — she reads the gaps. And the gaps tell a story the camera was never meant to show.

"In the war between Light and Shadow, the cost of victory is everything." The world of the Radiant Sentinel has stood for an age, protected by a lineage of power that felt eternal. But legends are often just stories we tell ourselves before the sun goes down. Now, the sun is setting for the final time. Umbra has arrived—not as a conqueror, but as an ending. Wielding the terrifying Abyssal Dominion,he seeks to unravel the very foundations of the earth and reclaim the world for the silence of the void. Against him stands Lux, a young man carrying a power he doesn't fully understand and a burden he never chose. As an ancient prophecy begins to bleed into reality, Lux must face a haunting truth: the techniques of the past are not enough to stop the darkness of the future. To save what remains, he must look beyond the teachings of his masters and find a strength hidden in the spaces between light and dark. The march toward the inevitable has begun. In a clash where power is measured by sacrifice, Lux will learn that the greatest battles aren't fought for kingdoms, but for the echoes of the things we love. The end isn't coming. It's already here.

My name is Naomi Price. I’m twenty-three, cursed with an annoyingly flawless complexion, and my life used to be completely unremarkable. My biggest mistake was paying eight bucks for a americano at The Roasted Cafe. That’s where some coward slipped a lethal cocktail into my mug, and I ended up choking on my own spit on a sticky laminate floor. Death was supposed to be a dirt nap. Instead, I woke up with a migraine, exactly ten years in the past. Only, it isn't my past. The world I woke up in is wrong. The skies are a polluted, bruised purple, and the streets are crawling with heavily armed zealots who call themselves The Legion. They own everything now. And the kicker? Everyone is walking around with powers, dictated by a mysterious, floating System that treats human lives like a twisted, high-stakes game. You want to survive this dystopia? You rank up. You want to find out who murdered you? You bleed for it. But the universe has a sick, twisted sense of humor when it comes to leveling up. You can't just grind your way to the top by beating the shit out of low-tier thugs in an alley. To climb the ladder and claim a higher rank, the System locks you in a pocket dimension and forces you to fight an upgraded, deadlier version of yourself. You have to literally kick your own ass to evolve. If you lose? You die for real. And as if dealing with a fascist regime and fighting my own shadow wasn't enough, I brought a passenger back with me. A fractured piece of my own subconscious woke up when I died. She is an arrogant, unhinged mastermind who thinks she is God’s gift to violence. I just want to solve my murder, rip the Legion to shreds, and fix this broken timeline. My other half? She just wants to finger-paint with their blood. So, grab a helmet and buckle the fuck up. We have exactly fifty chapters to sort this colossal clusterfuck out, and my patience is already running on empty.

Until he accidentally ends someone's life and now he is forced to join a game of purgatory called the rounds.

Mo Yuan was one step away from shattering the heavens. As the supreme Immortal Ascendant Emperor, he had sacrificed everything to reach the peak of the Outer Void Battlefield—only to be stabbed in the back by his wife and sworn brother during his final tribulation. ​His cultivation bone ripped out. His fortune stolen. His life extinguished. ​When he opens his eyes again, the blood-soaked Emperor finds himself in a familiar, sunlit room. He has regressed back to his youth as a frail mortal, the son of a poor village carpenter. His family, who died tragically in his past life, is alive and well. ​Exhausted by a millennium of slaughter, Mo Yuan makes a vow: no cultivation, no revenge, no fighting. He only wants to live a quiet life and pursue the dream he never had time for in his past life—becoming a painter. ​But the Universe refuses to let a supreme sovereign live as a mortal. ​Mo Yuan has no formal painting skills, but his soul carries the weight of a supreme Emperor. Without realizing it, his crude, clumsy brushstrokes leak terrifying "Supreme Dao Intent." A simple sparrow painted on a block of wood terrifies outer sect disciples into madness. A crumpled ball of ink thrown into the snow forcibly brings spring to a dead winter. A painting of the night sky accidentally eclipses the real moon, sending ancient sects into widespread panic. ​Mo Yuan thinks he is just bad at mixing ink. The cultivation world thinks a primordial god has descended. ​Yet, fate is cruel. Despite his terrifying hidden power, he cannot stop the tragic gears of the heavens. When his peaceful life is inevitably turned to ash, Mo Yuan does not pick up a sword. He picks up his brush. ​Using the ashes of his ruined home, he steps onto a new, forbidden path of cultivation. He is a wandering artist, a "Pain Carrier," whose masterpieces can heal severed realms, summon primordial beasts, or act as weapons that slice through reality itself. He doesn't cultivate for immortality, nor does he care for revenge against those who betrayed him. ​He cultivates through longing. And when the heavens try to take the one woman who truly loves the artist rather than the Emperor, Mo Yuan will paint a path straight through the Outer Void, defying the entire universe to get her back.
