|| To all the readers who are grieving over Caelestis Lanister’s death. I deeply apologize but this character always deserved death in my eyes of justice. Although he was a good leader, a good friend, probably a good son, yet he was never a good friend or boyfriend to Stella. Even after going through all his sins, if you still sympathize with him. I have an offer for you. Would you like to change the destiny of Caelestis Lanister? Yes/No|| A translucent blue window appeared in front of Eleanore, who had just opened her eyes in a strange white place, after meeting her end in a Traffic accident. Eleanore finds herself in a new world, with a mission to change the destiny of her favorite character from a book she had recently read, "Revenge is her only desire." Tired from her daily struggles, she was ready to venture into a new life of the rich, but to her dismay. She finds herself in the body of the villainess that dies in the first chapter of the novel, who shares the same name as hers, Eleanore Sinclair. Moreover, the day she enters into her body is the day she gets killed by Caelestis for harming his lover, Stella. Eleanore binded by the system that guided her through in her mission of changing Caelestis’ fate, realizes that the system favoured Stella over her. She struggles to keep herself alive, while working on Caelestis and Stella's relationship. As she tries to save Stella from the obsessive grasps of Caelestis, she finds herself getting entangled with the notorious villain. As tension and hatred between them rises, a love blooms between them which gives nothing but pain in return. The male lead being her own brother, will she be able to save Caelestis which is no longer her mission but her love? _______ “Lies!” he spat again, his voice rising. “I will kill you, Eleanore. If you ever try to do that to her again, I will kill you.” His words cut through her, burning with hatred and fear. Anger surged within her as she fought against him. She had never intended to hurt Stella, not once. The blame lay with the original owner of the body, not her. Why must she listen to these accusations? “I have no such intentions!” she shouted at his face, gasping to find breath. “Let me go!” Her foot lashed out, kicking him in the thigh, but he quickly pinned it down as well. Exhausted from her useless struggles, Eleanore realized she had to gather her strength and then perhaps bite off some skin from his handsome face. “You are just an obsessed man,” she snarled. “You don’t know how to treat a woman. You’re killing her!” Before she could finish, Caelestis silenced her with a violent grip around her throat. His hand tightened around her neck, cutting off her breath. Her wrists were free, but now her neck was caught, and every breath became a struggle. Panic surged through her as she struggled to find, her nails digged deep into at his arm in a desperate attempt to free herself. Caelestis’ true nature had finally appeared in front of Eleanore, and it scared her. She had already been afraid of him, but now the fear felt like it was gripping her very soul. Note: This is a dark fantasy romance novel. A war between Love and Obsession.

I woke from a dream, unintelligible mutterings echoing in my ears. I had forgotten myself, lost my past. I looked around, only to find I was already in hell, explosions rang through the blue sky, bullets ravaged the streets like a torrent, and the fires of war burned on this land without pause. The creatures who lived here had bodies that looked fragile yet were unfazed by ordinary firearms, they formed factions for their own ends, and spent their days slaughtering one another. Then, they found me... They called themselves students, and told me this place was called Kivotos. They also addressed me as, "Sensei." ---- Source: https: ()//()www.trxs( . )cc/ () tongren/ () 8630. )(html Author: Otter of Chaos

After dying from unpaid overtime (and maybe a little too much caffeine), Rin Lee wakes up in a world filled with magic, danger... and far too many ridiculously attractive men.

I fell from the stars and landed in the Marvel Universe—right into the chaos of the '90s, where mutants walk the streets and the world still thinks it's normal. No cosmic destiny. No hero's journey. No thirst for power or fortune. I'm not here to change the world—just to watch it burn from a safe distance... preferably with snacks. Call me a background character. A professional bystander. If the universe insists on dragging me into the spotlight, well—I'll just treat it like front-row seats to the greatest show on Earth. Why be the hero… when you can be the audience? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heads up: This is a slice-of-life style story, so it's slow-paced and focuses on everyday moments, character growth, and subtle developments. If you're looking for fast action or high-stakes drama, this might not be your cup of tea—but if you enjoy relaxed, character-driven narratives, I hope you’ll still give it a chance!

Kai and a group of strangers wake up trapped in a mysterious building with no memory of how they got there. They soon discover they are part of a deadly game where every choice could mean death. As terrifying traps and their own fears close in, they must find a way to survive — but can anyone trust each other in a place designed to kill?

Two people circle each other in the quiet spaces between duty and desire—drawn together not by certainty, but by recognition. Their connection is built on pauses, on breaths held a second too long, on the way comfort slowly starts to feel dangerous. Intimacy arrives not as touch alone, but as understanding: being seen, being chosen in small, fragile moments. Yet timing is cruel. What grows between them is tender and inevitable, but never fully safe. Every closeness carries the weight of what cannot last, and every goodbye feels unfinished. Love here is not loud—it lingers, aches, and teaches them how deeply a heart can bend without breaking. It is a story of warmth found briefly, of restraint mistaken for strength, and of heartbreak that doesn’t shatter—only settles quietly, like a bruise you learn to live with.

What he did not prepare for was transmigrating as a fetus. Reborn into a noble family with no control over his own limbs and a countdown running to the Bone King's arrival, his survival comedy begins before he can even open his eyes. "Got played, huh. How am I supposed to survive under the incoming Bone King?"

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY
