tragedy

Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

Isabella Martinez’s life shatters in one night. Dragged from her waitress job by loan sharks, she’s thrown onto an auction stage and sold like property to pay her father’s five-million-dollar gambling debt. Terrified and powerless, she watches as wealthy men bid on her future until HE walks in. Dante Moretti. The most dangerous man in New York. A billionaire mafia don who built a twelve-billion-dollar empire on blood and fear. When his cold grey eyes lock on hers, everything changes. He bids ten million dollars without hesitation, buying her in front of everyone. Bella expects horror. Expects to become his slave, his toy, his victim. Instead, she discovers something far more dangerous: Dante Moretti has a code. He protects women and children. He kills traitors without mercy but honors loyalty above all. And despite his brutality, despite the violence she witnesses, despite every reason she should run she’s falling for the devil who bought her. But loving a mafia king comes with deadly consequences. The Russian mob wants revenge. A traitor within Dante’s own family wants him dead. And Bella now seen as his greatest weakness becomes the target of every enemy he’s ever made. Forced to choose between the innocent girl she was and the warrior she needs to become, Bella must learn to fight, to kill, and to embrace the darkness. Because in Dante’s world, there are only two options: become the mafia queen who stands beside him… Or die. From sold at auction to ruling an empire. From victim to queen. From captive to the most dangerous woman in the underworld. This is the story of a girl who was bought for five million dollars and became worth five billion. Welcome to the mafia. Welcome to love. Welcome to war.

In the nation of Avrael, power is both a blessing and a curse. Sixteen-year-old Ayato Daath, a poor orphan, had always hoped to live unnoticed in the shadows of the city. But when he is forced to undergo The Rite of Manifestation, the ritual that determines one’s magical potential, his worst fear comes true he is an Elite.

In a time without rain and only mist to quench the earth, a boy finds his blood and tears taking the rain's place. As his consciousness fades, he hears a voice sealing his fate.

Darius was dying. Amidst the smoking ruins of the Elysian Gardens, he stood alone, cornered by the relentless onslaught of the Five Fire Commanders and the infinite legions of the Dark Lux. His blue blood stained the earth, the light of his ancestral pendant flickered on the verge of extinction, and the holy blade—repelled by his vampiric nature—remained cold to his touch. The desperate screams of his lover, Elis, echoed through the carnage, a haunting melody to his impending defeat. But at the threshold of death, something ancient and primal stirred. The blood of the fallen—friend and foe alike—began to churn in a macabre vortex, igniting the forbidden Festival of Blood. The Beast within him finally broke its chains, seizing total control. As a cataclysmic surge of energy flooded his veins, Darius claimed the holy sword, binding it with his own cursed blood and reforging it into a shimmering weapon of absolute slaughter. His vengeance was swift. His retribution, total. In a blur of steel and shadow, the Five Fire Commanders—Seraphina, Arachne, Centurion, Aquila, and Scorpius—were decimated in mere heartbeats, swept away by a tidal wave of gore and the rending fury of his claws. Yet, his rage was not sated. Darius turned his wrath upon the Dark Lux legion, drowning them in a Tsunami Claw that left nothing but silence in its wake. But victory demanded a grim toll. Amongst the sea of corpses, the dark, guttural command of Azazel echoed in his mind: "Open the gate." As the spilled blood coalesced into a jagged, crimson portal, Darius—his soul now a hollow shell—stepped into the abyss, ignoring Elis's frantic pleas. He awoke on an island that looked like paradise: white sands, azure waters, and a sun that felt far too bright. His body was whole, his human form restored. But beneath the deceptive beauty of this silent world, a whisper greeted him: "Welcome to the Labyrinth of Death." One epic saga has ended, but a far more treacherous maze has only just begun.

Dion, He died in a field of flowers turned into a cemetery, under the symbol of death, while the world he tried to save collapsed around him. He died while the person he loved most sacrificed her life to give him one last chance: an impossible escape through time, sealed with blood and forbidden magic. When Dion wakes up, he is not in the afterlife. He is in his past. Trapped between memories of a life he has lost and a future he knows will come, Dion must learn to live again without forgetting who he was. At Hogwarts, surrounded by young people who do not yet know horror, he begins to discover that his return was not a miracle: it was part of something much bigger. While the Dark Lord has not yet risen and history seems to be following its course, Dion walks a tightrope. Every decision can alter the future. Every bond can be salvation... or damnation.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● In the shadowed stillness, she stood broken, drowned in the memories of a father now gone. Tears fell in a stifled silence—until his tall shadow loomed upon the threshold. He stepped inside, moving slowly. Those wild eyes, said to carry the scent of blood and a dark, haunted past, locked onto hers. But behind that predatory gaze, a different truth was waiting. His fingers, trembling with restraint, reached for her face. It seemed impossible that these hands had ever closed around the cold hilt of a sword. He gazed into her eyes, but he wasn't looking at her. Deep within, he was searching for someone else. With a fevered longing, he pulled her against his chest, as if chaining her to his very soul. She heard it then—the rapid, thundering rhythm of his heart. A beat that offered solace to her broken world, like the tender words of a mother. Her fear dissolved in the face of his pure grief. In that heavy silence, she clutched at his clothes, resting in the chill of a dangerous man's embrace. This is the story of a man who chose to be a demon in our world, just to remain a loyal lover in his own. He is the ghost that history tried to bury, but some secrets are too heavy for the earth to hold... and some men, perhaps, are better left forgotten!
