~Prologue~ Born as the Crown Princess of the Fengyu Empire, Yu Shayue dedicated her youth for her nation. She endured relentless discipline, mastered political and strategic arts, and sacrificed every fragment of her innocence in order for the safety of her family and the empire. Yet, in return, she was met with their betrayal, scorn, and abandonment by her own family. Wronged by her own flesh and blood, Shayue sets aside her former loyalty and rises with an unyielding determination, to reclaim the throne which had always belonged to her. Her path to power leads her to an unexpected alliance -- a political marriage to Lin Yechen, the ruthless and cold Crown Prince of the Longlin Empire, an empire long bound to hers by generations of hostility and war. Feared for his cold intellect and merciless nature, Lin Yechen is a man whose trust is as dangerous as his enmity. Their union is not out of affection, but of calculated intent, the two formidable minds bound by ambition, secrets, betrayal and quiet vengeance. Within the treacherous court of the Longlin Empire, where every smile conceals a scheme and every step may lead to ruin, Shayue must fight for her survival and for her to control over her fate. Yet, as time unfolds and truths begin to surface, the distance between hostility and understanding begins to vanish and something else blooms. In the silence between battles and beneath the layers of their guarded hearts, something unexpected takes root. What begins as a union of necessity slowly transforms into something unique and memorable, where suspicion softens into trust, and rivalry gives way to a love neither of them ever sought... nor ever believed they deserved. Will Yu Shayue succeed in reclaiming her destiny without losing herself in the process? And when vengeance and love stand at odds, which path will she choose?

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

But Alphabet, the syndicate that gave him this cursed power, isn't done with him yet. They call him: Subject S3. Hunted by those who want to weaponize him. Haunted by the faces of everyone he killed. Leo must master the very power that destroyed everything, or watch it consume what little remains. Some mistakes can't be undone. Some can only be survived.

In humanity’s dystopian future, the Oasis has become the only chance for expansion. There, each envoy can become a Lord — raise fortresses, command armies, and summon heroes. But there is a silent hierarchy. Humans are already considered the weakest race. And the colonists… are merely numbers sent to meet quotas. He was born in one of those colonies. He was not chosen for talent. He was not sent for honor. He was sent because someone had to fill the slot. He hates no one. He does not dream of revenge. He has only one goal: To survive. In the Oasis, surviving means building. Building means dominating. And dominating requires heroes. When his time came to summon… ordinary soldiers did not answer. Lesser spirits did not appear. Legends came. And the world that treated him as disposable would begin to learn that surviving can be the first step toward ruling.

What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated.

For the ten-million-dollar prize, Darian is grinding through a massive virtual game called “Marvel World.” What he doesn’t realize is that from the moment the game began, he was already transported into the real Marvel Universe; becoming its only player. From cutting deals with Tony Stark to outsmarting Hydra agents and walking straight into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s crosshairs, Darian treats every encounter like a quest to be cleared and every hero like an NPC with loot to drop. To everyone else, he’s an unpredictable anomaly, but to himself, just a gamer following the mechanics. Nick Fury: Darian is an excellent agent, but he's a bit of a snob. Every time a mission is issued, he skips over it. Tony Stark: I can't believe it! The other day, Darian and I teamed up, and I came back with only my underwear left. Banner: I'm the exact opposite. My only underwear was stolen, and in a rage, I transformed into the Hulk, making headlines that evening. Thor: Darian claims he's reached 1000 Justice Points, then he raised my Mjölnir Hammer and ran off... When the world questions his methods, Darian just shrugs and says, “I’m just playing by the rules.”
