Sebastian’s life is turned upside down when he is unexpectedly thrust into the dangerous and unpredictable world of the Realm Walkers. As he navigates this new reality, he must face deadly challenges, forge uneasy alliances, and confront secrets that could change everything he knows about himself and the realms around him. With every choice carrying high stakes, Sebastian discovers that surviving this world means more than just strength—it requires courage, wit, and the resilience to overcome the darkest twists of fate. ......... Sebastian pushed himself upright, though it felt as if the air itself had turned to tar around him. His thoughts drifted through a dense, suffocating fog that weighed more than his own limbs. Every breath was an effort. Every movement felt resisted by something unseen—something that clung to him without leaving a single bruise or mark to prove it existed. There was no chain. No wound. No logical reason for the heaviness sinking into his bones. And yet it was there. Relentless. He staggered toward the mirror standing quietly before him—too quietly, as if it had been waiting. A shard of memory flickered at the back of his mind, but every attempt to grasp it made the fog thicken, swallowing the thought before it could form. When he finally faced the glass, he froze. His reflection was… wrong. The face was his, yet the expression wasn’t. A smile threatened at the corners of his mouth—not his smile, but something using it. The eyes blinked half a second too late. And the longer he stared, the more the reflection seemed to grow aware of him, as though it had just woken up. A crawling cold travelled up his spine. “What… are you?” he whispered. His reflection tilted its head first. A smile still played across its lips—thin, deliberate, and wrong. There was no warmth in it. No flicker of anything human. It was a cold curve of the mouth, carved with the kind of precision that suggested practice rather than emotion. The eyes above it didn’t match the expression; they remained distant, unfocused, as though gazing at something beyond him trying but also failing to recall. Then its gaze focused on him It then spoke: “The scavenger of the Sovereign’s lost soul, A legacy bound to us… for the world to behold.”

Not your regular billionaire romance She had a son with the most dangerous man in the city. And he can never find out. Four years ago, Aurielle Duval spent one reckless night with a stranger— a night that left her with a little boy who has his impossible blue eyes. She never learned his name. He disappeared before sunrise. And she rebuilt her life alone… until the day she walks into an interview at the world’s most powerful company. Its CEO? Kieran D’Angelo. Cold. Untouchable. Obsessed with control. The man she prayed she would never see again. And he doesn’t recognize her. But he feels her. Watches her. Claims her. He wants her as his personal assistant— and Aurielle has no choice but to accept. Because she’s not just any applicant. She’s the hidden daughter of the D’Angelo empire— erased from the family before she ever took her first breath. And Kieran? He’s the heir they raised in her place. The man whose child she secretly carried. Two stolen identities. One dangerous truth. A son who can destroy an empire. And when Kieran’s dark, charming cousin Dante returns… obsessed, hungry, and determined to take Aurielle for himself— the family war ignites. A mother with secrets. A billionaire who owns her future. A cousin who wants her past. A child who belongs to all of them. This isn’t a romance. It’s a battle for blood, power, and the one woman who can shatter the D’Angelo throne.

What if the thoughts in your head aren't actually yours? Picture this: someone's losing their mind trying to save the person they love most. There's a voice on the phone—cold, synthetic, playing games. Riddles with impossible answers. A countdown ticking toward something unthinkable. They're racing through traffic, heart pounding, memories surfacing like shrapnel. Every decision feels urgent. Every emotion feels real. But here's the thing that'll keep you up at night: None of it was supposed to work. The riddles? Designed to have no right answer. The call? Never meant to save anyone. The choices? An illusion wrapped in desperation. And that voice on the other end—the one pulling strings with such cruel precision? They have no idea someone's pulling theirs too. See, while our victim is breaking down, convinced their panic is their own, and while the tormentor is getting off on their power, drunk on control... There's someone else. Sitting in a dark office. Watching both of them on different screens. Smiling at how perfectly the pieces are moving. The victim can't see their strings. The tormentor can't feel the hand moving them. And that's the whole point. This is a story about control so deep it controls the controllers. About how every emotion you think is genuine—love, fear, guilt, even the sick thrill of having power over someone—might just be responses someone programmed into you before you even knew you existed. About the possibility that free will is just a story we tell ourselves while we follow invisible scripts. One person thinks they're fighting for survival. Another thinks they're the puppet master. But both are dancing. And neither of them chose the music. Because real control doesn't look like chains. It looks like freedom. It feels like choice. It sounds like your own voice in your head. Until you realize it was never yours at all.

In the shadowed wilds of Gondor, where ancient hills whispered of forgotten kings, a man awoke not to the sterile hum of operating rooms, but to the chill bite of twilight wind against black mithril armor. Arthur—once a surgeon whose hands had coaxed life from the brink, only to surrender his own to exhaustion—stirred with a stranger's strength surging through veins that felt both familiar and forged anew. His green eyes, dulled by the haze of transmigration, scanned the mist-shrouded expanse. A faint divine hum emanated from the rune-etched plate encasing him, binding light within unyielding darkness. In his grip, a mithril longsword thrummed like a second heartbeat, its edge promising precision deadlier than any scalpel. Fragmented whispers in his mind unveiled the truth: a stolen fragment of power from the Lord of Mysteries universe had taken root—the Twilight Giant Pathway, a perilous divine authority twisting his healer's soul toward warrior godhood.(see the generated image above) As distant echoes of the Lonely Mountain and Shire pierced the air, Arthur rose, George his bonded steed nickering nearby. The Black Healer had awakened, his path a fragile equilibrium between mending flesh and unleashing purifying dawn—destined to carve legend amid Middle-earth's gathering shadows.

Rejected by the world that killed his mother, Sammail welcomes death with open arms. But instead of silence, a whisper rises from the darkness — cold, ancient, and wicked.Not an angel of mercy…but a fallen one.The first to defy God. And it reached for him.

Helena believed that starting university would be a simple, quiet new beginning. But everything changes the moment she crosses paths with Rafael — the silent boy surrounded by rumors no one dares to confirm. He avoids contact. Avoids people. Avoids even his own pain. And yet, every small gesture contradicts the reputation that follows him: the careful glances, the quiet acts of kindness, the way he seems to notice everything while pretending he doesn’t. When coincidences turn into encounters, and encounters turn into late-night conversations, Helena realizes there’s something behind his silence — something fragile, something heavy, something he’s trying too hard to hide. And as she tries to understand Rafael, she finds herself changing too… seeing his world, feeling the weight he carries alone, and discovering that sometimes the place we call home is found in someone else’s eyes. But the past doesn’t stay buried. And for them to get closer, both will have to face truths Helena was never prepared to hear — and Rafael was never ready to reveal. A story about healing, unspoken wounds, and the kind of love that grows slowly — in silence, in glances, and in the space one heart makes for another.
