Twenty two year old Fumiko goes to sleep rage-scrolling a “generic straight romance” otome game and wakes up inside it with a holographic HUD floating in front of her face. Title:Crimson Heirs of Everflame Player Character:Lady Fiametta von Ardentis Role: Villainess / Final Calamity Status: Terminally Ill (Irreversible) Genre:FIRE The body in the mirror isn’t her own: it’s the outrageously beautiful noblewoman destined to be the game’s last boss and most hated villainess. In the original *Crimson Heirs of Everflame*, Fiametta’s only endings were imprisonment, execution, or a beautifully animated death. Now, the system insists her illness is incurable even as she feels disturbingly healthy and the so called “FIRE” genre quietly explains itself: heightened emotions, irreversible consequences, and “reality bleed-through.” Worse, all the flags are wrong. The four powerful heroines who were supposed to loathe Fiametta now have their affection maxed out: * Crown Princess Seraphine , who announces their political engagement and clings like a devoted fiancée who would burn the world before letting Fia vanish. * Knight-Captain Elira, the empire’s sword, assigned as Fiametta’s personal escort. * Archmage Lyriel , whose cold logic melts whenever Fia’s name is mentioned. * Saintess Mira, the empire’s holy light, who prays for Fia with frightening intensity. In the game, they were routes Fumiko chased as a player. In this world, they are women who love Fiametta too much to let her go and perhaps too much to let her be free. Caught between a body marked by a terminal countdown, four heroines whose love already burns at maximum, and a system that treats reality like a script it can overwrite, Fumiko has to think like the gamer she used to be: * Map the routes in a world that no longer follows its own code. * Discover what “FIRE” really demands from its players. * Hack a fate labeled irreversible before the genre turns her life and the women who love her into ash. In a universe where love is fuel and every choice can ignite a catastrophe, the villainess of *Crimson Heirs of Everflame* must decide: Is she trying to survive her own story… or willing to burn with them, if that’s the only ending left?

Han Ji’s possessiveness knows no bounds; he doesn’t just want Yunxi—he wants to own him. But when Yunxi’s secret slips—his involvement in the murder of the queen—the fragile line between friendship, unknown love and captivity shatters. Dragged away from the palace on horseback, wrists bound by the grip of a man who refuses to let go, Yunxi finds himself torn between fear, desire, and the dangerous thrill of surrendering to someone darker than he ever imagined. In a world where betrayal lurks behind silk curtains and passion burns hotter than vengeance, can Yunxi escape Han Ji’s grasp… or will he discover that being caught was what he wanted all along? A story of obsession, power, and a love that tastes like poison—perfect for those who crave danger with their romance.

As the crimson moon approaches, he must ally with a defiant werewolf warrior to stop the ascension of a vampire god.

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

When monsters sprouted from suddenly appearing towers all over the world, the world leaders created an organization of skilled warriors to tackle this problem. The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger. The only salvation was that her finance was also sent on the same mission. The mission was to conquer a new Boss floor, and they were to fight against a monster of unpresented might. What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him. As she slowly closes her eyes, the world going dark around her, a notification from the system pops up. “ New class: Black healer Congratulations! You have completed the hidden legendary quest, healing an S-ranked monster on its last breath by sacrificing yourself. Your immensely caring heart should be an inspiration to all healers, both human and monsters! Not caring for the wounded’s different race and even sacrificing the last of your own life, you have been given a new chance at life. ” Waking up, she is now back three years before the battle took place. Her new life starts now!

In a world where humanity's sins manifest as demonic rippers, the Ise Order defends against this darkness. The Order comprises ranked seers, battling classes of sinners who revel in corruption, and influencers who create more sinners. *Crimson In Red* follows the harrowing journey of Noir, a troubled young man haunted by the traumatic memory of his mother, Louisette, and a sinister encounter with a man wielding a blessed scythe. As a child, Noir witnesses the unimaginable: the brutal murder of his mother, her blood staining his innocence and marking him for a fate intertwined with malevolent forces. Awakening from this nightmare, Noir finds himself in a grand cathedral illuminated by advanced light technology. Alone and disoriented, he realizes his ruby pendant—once a source of comfort—is missing, leaving him vulnerable to the darkness that seeks him.

With the echoes of his mother's love still resonating in his mind, Noir must confront the ominous threat of the rippers—monstrous entities that prey on the lost and the damned. As he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding his identity and the ruby's significance, Noir faces the struggle between embracing his powers and succumbing to the darkness that looms over him. His journey challenges him to confront his fears, unlock the secrets of his past, and ultimately discover what it means to be a beacon of hope in a world engulfed in crimson shadows.

Written in first person, also has different POV's. Nicholas is weak, frail, naive, and by most accounts, a terrible man. He has lived much of his life burdened by failure, aware of his flaws, and often hating himself and the world around him. Yet despite all this, he keeps moving forward. He is driven by something almost absurd, a stubborn hope that he can become more than the sum of his mistakes, that he can rise beyond his limitations and reshape his future. He pursues happiness even when it seems impossible, seeks change even when it seems out of reach, and fights to leave a mark on a world that has shown him little mercy. Though foolish and deeply flawed, Nicholas aims to rewrite most of his mistakes, to correct the course of his life, and to alter the fate of his world. In the face of cruelty and hardship, he presses on, learning, enduring, and striving. He carries this mindset until the very end, determined to follow it, no matter the cost, even if that means dying in the attempt.

New zombie horror Novella duology by @Knigtmare_tracks on every Thursday It was supposed to be just another hot summer night in Delhi. Fans whirring, ACs buzzing, the city lulled to sleep in its humid embrace. But behind the closed gates of a quiet apartment campus, something terrifying was unfolding. A few nightwalkers stumbled upon the guard lying motionless at the gate, blood pooling beneath him. They tried to help bandaged his wounds, carried him inside. But the moment their backs were turned, he attacked. When 20-year-old Shivansh wakes up the next morning, he’s greeted not by the sun but by silence. A strange, choking silence. His phone explodes with over a hundred missed calls, emergency alerts, and videos of people friends, neighbors turning into something else. Zombies. Across the country, chaos erupts. Highways clog. Cities burn. But inside the locked-down complex, Shivansh must navigate a nightmare within walls he once called home. His father, a Delhi police officer, is missing last seen on a road trip up north. His little brother is scared. And every hallway, staircase, and balcony are now crawling with the infected. With no power, no signal, and no clear way out, Shivansh is forced to make choices no young man should ever face. As the world outside descends into madness, he must protect his family, rally the living, and face the horrifying question no one wants to ask: What if this is only the beginning? Outbreak: Bharat is a grounded, heart-racing take on the zombie apocalypse, blending Indian society, culture, and chaos in a way you’ve never seen before.

In the far North, where Fjordhelms winter buries both the living and the dead, Veros wanders through ruined villages and bloodstained snow, searching for the parents taken from him by Finnlago years ago. No bodies... No graves... Only silence. Veros swears one thing.... Any hand that harms the Innocent will be cut down. Any soldier who spills helpless blood will not leave the North alive. Any kingdom built on stolen lives will burn. Then a whisper reaches him: some of the stolen may still be alive, imprisoned deep inside Finnlago’s frozen strongholds. To reach the truth, he must ignite a war he never wanted— a war that will split the North, wake old monsters, and stain the ice with more blood than ever before. Somewhere inside Finnlago’s darkness his parents might still breathe. And Veros will tear kingdoms apart for even a single chance to bring them home.

I was summoned to another world as a hero, but since the Goddess hates men, she didn’t grant me any divine powers. I was deemed a failure and sold into slavery by the Queen! Fortunately, I managed to escape with my life thanks to two girls, and now I must survive in a world that hates men. Oh, hello, homeless. Huh? Y-you were a God? Y-you want me to defeat the Goddess? And I need to build a harem to do it?! "¡Tan cliché! (So cliché)" Aaaahhhhhhh!

She thought it was an ordinary day—until a portal of violet light tore her world apart. Dragged into a realm of swords and crowns, the unnamed narrator awakens in a stranger’s body, dressed in linen, with a terrified child clutching her hand. Soldiers hunt them, shouting for “the woman the Emperor wants.” The boy calls her “Mother.” He calls her Aria. When the golden-haired, blood-eyed Emperor arrives, the truth shatters what little sanity she has left—he’s Darius, the husband who vanished years ago. The same man she believed to be a humble hunter. And the boy, Elian, is their son. But she isn’t Aria... is she? Her memories fracture and blur—two lives tangled in one body. The Emperor claims her as his lost wife, the future Empress of a ruthless empire. She calls him a liar. Trapped in his palace, torn between love, rage, and disbelief, Aria vows to protect her child from the monster who calls himself her husband. Yet Darius isn’t just a tyrant—he’s a man consumed by obsession, determined to make her remember the past she keeps denying. Every encounter is a battle. Every kiss, a war. And somewhere deep inside her mind, a voice keeps whispering— “Run, Aria. Run before it’s too late.”
