Devon Albert, the outcast omega of Redstone Pack, once believed that finding his fated mate meant forever. But when his mate, the proud Beta, rejected him for being “a useless male who can’t bear pups,” Devon’s world shattered. Branded weak, beaten, and humiliated, he was cast out into the wilderness to die. He didn’t. He survived. He became a rogue. One stormy night, while hiding in the forest that marked the border between packs, Devon stumbled upon a brutal ambush, and a terrified five-year-old boy at its center. Acting on instinct, he threw himself between the assassins and the child, nearly losing his life in the process. When rescue finally came, Devon awoke in the luxurious but dangerous territory of Ravenmoon Pack, the most powerful pack across the border. The boy he saved? The heir to the Alpha’s throne. To repay his bravery, the Alpha offered him a position, as the heir’s nanny. Devon never expected to stay. But fate had other plans. The Alpha of Ravenmoon, Lucien Hale, was everything Devon feared, cold, domineering, and impossibly magnetic. Their worlds should have clashed. Until one fateful night, an accidental kiss stirred a dormant bond neither could explain… nor resist. As passion brews behind closed doors and danger lurks from both packs, Devon finds himself trapped between desire and survival, torn between a contract of duty and a love that could destroy them both. What happens when a broken omega becomes the heart of the Alpha’s family… and maybe, his mate?

One human girl. Four Highborn beastmen. A world that wants to claim her… or kill her. When Kanah falls into the Beastworld of Aetheryon, she becomes the rarest prize: a living human. Dragons want to hoard her. Elves want to bind her. Wolves want to scent-mark her. Leopards want to chase and claim her. And the Beast King wants her for reasons darker than desire. Her arrival ignites war, obsession, and an uncontrollable pull between her and the four most powerful males in the realm. Their instincts say “mate.” Her humanity says “run.” But fate has its own rules— and the Beastworld never lets go of what it wants.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn — the world's most famous hero — was the worst part of his job... ...Then the System decided online arguments count as combat experience, and sent him straight into battle as Llewellyn's partner!

Easy, right? Except that now he's neck-deep in Dungeons and Distorted Realms — and just a little too fixated on Llewellyn's mastery in battle. And everything else.

A psychological horror story begins with William Carter, a forty-year-old man suffering from a disorder that splits his mind in two. Whenever he feels danger, excitement, or anger, his kind and cowardly personality collapses, and the other one takes over—cold, merciless, and driven only by destruction. One day, William is teleported to a strange world full of mysteries. In the middle of a barren desert stands a giant tower where each level must be cleared to survive, and every level comes with its own theme, entity, and difficulty. The only reward is a core that lets you manifest a weapon strong enough to fight the creatures waiting inside the tower. But danger doesn’t live only within its walls. Outside roam entities so powerful even the tower cannot control them… and humans blinded by their obsession with power. In this world, danger follows every step. Yet something about William’s second personality is strange. It knows everything about this world—every corner, every rule, every secret. So is this truly William’s first time here? Who brought him into this world, and why? Will he ever be able to return home? And above all… can he survive both the tower and his own mind?

When a software developer from our world dies, he doesn't meet an end—he wakes up on a cold metal table in the Mass Effect universe. He's no hero; he's a Cerberus test subject trapped on the criminal station Omega, and his only hope for survival is a cryptic AI in his head: the IDA System. This System doesn't just give quests and track levels. It allows him to absorb, equip, and even synthesize the DNA of the aliens he encounters. To survive, he must evolve, slotting in everything from Vorcha Regeneration to Krogan Blood Rage. But as he becomes a powerful alien hybrid, he faces a far greater problem: he knows the Reapers are coming, and a mysterious curse turns his every warning into absurd, harmless nonsense.

Nu-7 "Hammer Down" is supposed to be the Foundation's blunt instrument - send in the squad, put the monster back in the box, salt the ground, go home. For FULCRUM, breach-lead and combat medic, it's just another night walking the edge of the knife. Memetic scores that make people bleed themselves dry. Stairwells that loop forever. Warehouses where crystal spreads like a disease and turns men into glass. While Nu-7's TEAM 1 fights their way through SCP-class anomalies, someone in ALPHA-1 is watching Fulcrum a little too closely. A hidden operative moves in his shadow. Command files keep using one word: familiar. Between missions, there are secrets: - a jealous containment engineer and the medic he'd burn the world for - a forbidden relationship buried inside ALPHA-1 - quiet crushes, slow-burn tension, and off-duty moments that make the next breach bearable. This is a story about soldiers who walk into the dark on purpose, the things that try to break them, and the people they hold onto so they don't fall.

When humanity faces extinction, what breaks first? our bodies, or our humanity? How much of ourselves are we willing to lose to stay alive? The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt. Memory-scarred survivors, soldiers who’ve already lost too much, and civilians carrying secrets they’d kill to protect—bound together by the thin hope that something out there might still be worth saving. Outside, they will face the world that once was: a ruined city haunted by monsters, nazis and the aftermath of choices no one wants to admit they made. What to Expect: 1. Morally questionable characters 2. No clear good or evil—only survival 3. Character-driven beginning → escalating high-stakes plot 4. Brutal worldbuilding 5. Mature themes (genocide, moral collapse, societal failure) 6. Gore, violent imagery, disturbing psychological content DISCLAIMERS: This story is officially published on multiple platforms under the pen name Zachelodeon.

“When the reader becomes the story, who holds the pen?” > Stories are meant to be read. Not lived. Jeon Raon was a reader who sought meaning inside another’s words — until the world itself became a novel. When reality collapses under the mysterious Paradox System, every moment turns into a written scene, every death into a line of text, and every survivor into a character observed by unseen gods. As Raon struggles through twisted “scenarios,” he begins to see reflections of himself — in the monsters, the watchers, and the one who wrote it all. But some truths are not meant to be read. Some stories... read you back.

Ash had mastered the art of stillness. In the shadow of his family's legacy, a debt of blood and treachery so vast it could only be settled with his life. He was at peace with this. Or so he told the hollowed-out version of himself that remained. Then he met the hero, Karn. And the last sentence of his life was rewritten.

The novel opens with Elara Vane, known only by her cold precision and her devastating vow to silence the House of Kaelen - the powerful, corrupt dynasty responsible for the execution of her father, Arthur Vane. Her father, an honest city architect, was murdered after exposing Kaelen's financial crimes, his memory silenced by the state. Elara’s quest is driven by the dark irony of the novel’s title, Epiglottis - the biological flap that prevents choking. She aims to ensure the Kaelen name, its legacy, and it's very breath, can never pass into the future. Elara’s methods are not those of a killer, but an architect of ruin. Her strikes are psychological and systemic, designed to preserve the Kaelen shell while poisoning its core. She begins by orchestrating the financial and social collapse of the eldest heir, Cassian, banishing him to ignominy. The second blow is even more tragic: deploying the Aesthetic Despondency Oil (ADO), a neuro-chemical weapon designed by her compromised mentor, Professor Thorne, to turn artistic creation into profound psychological pain for the daughter, Seraphina. Seraphina's resulting public breakdown ensures the loss of a crucial political marriage. As the dynasty begins to crumble, Elara encounters her greatest obstacle and most tragic complication: Commander Joric Tahl, the Head of Kaelen Security. Joric is a man of duty, a 'Shield' forced to serve a corrupt house to maintain life support for his critically ill sister, Elena. In their professional meetings - where Elara wears the mask of "Archivist Veridia" - a profound intellectual and moral connection forms. Joric is hunting a ghost; Elara is the ghost, and their shared despair over the city's corruption binds them in a devastating, impossible attraction. The tragic climax begins when Elara attempts the final, financial strike against Valen Kaelen, only to be blocked by the A-V-LOCK, the impenetrable firewall designed by her own murdered father. This failure forces Elara to abandon her moral code and plan a final, biological attack - the Mnemotic Lapse agent - targeting the youngest, most innocent Kaelen son, Elias, through the city's nutrient supply chain (The Citadel Gardens). The confrontation at the Citadel is the devastating turning point. Joric, having traced the biological threat and realized Elara's identity, arrives with the antidote. He confronts her, not with a weapon, but with a challenge: whether her father's "silent justice" truly extends to the erasure of a child's mind. Elara's resolve breaks, but the compound is accidentally released, contaminating the entire Kaelen food source. In the aftermath, Joric makes his agonizing choice: he cannot save the Kaelen name, but he must save Elena. He spares Elara, extracting a final pact - she must deliver the evidence of Valen Kaelen’s crimes, including the A-V-LOCK key, to ensure the dynasty’s public, total exposure, which would secure a new, honest government that would protect Elena. Elara complies, trading her freedom for the truth. In the epilogue, the Kaelen dynasty is utterly erased. Joric becomes a respected advisor in the new government, ensuring Elena's safety. Elara Vane, the architect of ruin, chooses the required silence, living as a quiet librarian in a distant coastal town. Her vengeance is complete, having restored her father's truth. Her final piece of closure is a new copy of her father’s book, delivered by Joric, bearing the inscription: The Epiglottis protects the breath. The truth sets it free. The silent vengeance leads not to further death, but to a collective breath of freedom for the city.

Ten years. Ten years of fire, blood, and failure—and in the final second, he watched her die. Lin Yue’s world ended in ash and shadows, consumed by the Void. But death is not the end… not for him. Reborn one week before the apocalypse, Lin Yue carries more than memories. He carries the Chipped Stone of the Void, a mysterious artifact fused to his soul, and the ruthless Void Mimic System, a power that can steal the skills of gods—but every use burns vitality, and every second spent growing stronger steals from the life of the one he swore to protect: Lian Xiu. The city is a war zone waiting to happen. The Iron Fist Triad hunts him. Dark Sects manipulate the shadows. Supernatural entities tear at the fabric of reality. And somewhere in the chaos stands Lian Xiu—his obsession, his reason, and now… a potential casualty of his own power.

He must navigate a world where allies are enemies, enemies hide behind law and power, and a single misstep could erase the woman he loves forever. In a city where the future is stolen before it begins, Lin Yue has one choice: master the Void, survive the impossible, and defy fate itself… or lose everything, again.
