HIDE OR SEEK

Yvessirae thought she had won the academic lottery when she was accepted into the prestigious St. Jude’s University. Known for its elite education and world-class quality, the campus is a dream of ivory towers and golden opportunities. But as the sun sets on her very first day, Rae discovers the horrifying truth behind the school’s high graduation rate: at 8:00 PM, the university stops being a school and becomes a deadly playground. The Rules of the Game When the "Midnight Bell" tolls, the school plunges into an unnatural darkness. The doors lock from the inside, and a monstrous entity known as The Seeker begins its hunt. The students are forced into a high-stakes game of Hide-and-Seek. There is only one way to survive the night: find a hidden, cursed artifact—like the Gold Whistle—before the timer hits zero. The Loop If a student is caught or killed by the Seeker, they don't stay dead. Instead, they experience the agonizing "Reset." They wake up in their dorm beds at 7:05 AM, feeling every ounce of the pain from the night before, forced to relive the same day over and over again. Most students have given up, hiding under their beds in a cycle of eternal terror. The Conflict Rae is taken under the wing of two seasoned "players," Maia and Dvora. They reveal that once you enter the gates of St. Jude’s, you can never leave; the school’s curse follows you wherever you go. While Maia and Dvora have grown cynical after countless "deaths," Rae is determined to break the cycle. But as the items become harder to find and the Seeker grows more aggressive, Rae begins to realize that the "Game" isn't just about survival—it’s a puzzle designed to consume their souls. To escape, she must find the one item that actually ended the loop once before... and discover why the person who found it vanished forever.

Swallowed Star: Master of Life, Void, and Law

Ender traveled to the world of Swallowed Star. If possible, he would have loved to cling to the protagonist Luo Feng’s leg, but all he knew was that his planet belonged to the Molten Rock Empire—he knew nothing else. Fortunately, he possessed an extraordinary comprehension of the innate laws and 32 times the initial gene level as his starting advantage. This allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivation planet within the Molten Rock Empire to the stage of the Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle. At that point, he discovered that this version of Swallowed Star was somewhat different from what he remembered— “What? Humans have 1,004 universe countries?!” “What? The strongest participant in this Universe Pinnacle Genius Battle is Kedi?!” Only then did Ender realize that he had traveled too far back in time—even Luo Feng’s future teacher, King Zhenyan, had not yet been born. Traveled too far? It didn’t matter. Ender claimed that he possessed a legacy—one even stronger than Luo Feng’s—and that in the future, he would stand above the God King! Note: The protagonist has both talent and inheritance, and the author has only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! Only read Swallowed Star! (Important things should be said three times.) The protagonist will be upgraded in Chaos City, a clone will appear later, and the protagonist should not be treated as a typical transmigrator. (Foreword: Please do not consider the protagonist a normal Transmigrator, as normal Transmigrators do not lose their memories...)
