mystery

XH has always believed there will be enough time to fix what he breaks. At Utopia University, he and his friends are struggling through the years that will decide their futures. June is the girl he cannot stop choosing. Kitty is the friend who refuses to disappear. NS is the brother he trusts most—and the rival who understands exactly where to hurt him. What begins as friendship becomes a slow-burning tangle of secret kisses, jealousy, betrayal, and feelings no one is brave enough to confess. As examinations push them toward their limits, the four students begin choosing sides, even while pretending that nothing between them has changed. Beyond the campus walls, Yandong is changing too. Unnatural storms darken the sky. Workers are striking. Powerful people are moving in secret, and fragments of memories that XH cannot explain keep bleeding into his ordinary life. He only knows that he wants a little more time—to repair their friendship, make the right choice, and become the person he should have been. But some seasons are never meant to last. One campus. Three years. Four hearts caught between love, ambition, friendship, and an uncertain future. They almost escaped. They almost chose one another. Most of all, they almost belonged.

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

It’s already been 18 years since the last Great War between the Demon King and the entire world. Since then, the Demon King’s throne has remained vacant. Hayato Nakamura (Ashford), a half-human and once-in-a-millennium magic genius, studies at the prestigious Sylvania Magic Academy for heroes, trained to fight against demons. However, due to a series of fortunate—or perhaps unfortunate—events, he suddenly inherits the title of Demon King. But demons are inherently vicious, bloodthirsty creatures who believe in the survival of the fittest, obeying only the strongest. As a young and new student at a school meant to nurture the next generation of heroes to fight against the Demon King, he is far from being the strongest. His adventure is only beginning. Now, caught in the deadly web of demon world politics, Hayato must navigate his new role while trying to survive. He also has to watch out for trouble within the academy, especially from the prophesied Hero. To make matters worse, Hayato has an incurable disease that prevents him from using magic, his greatest strength. Now, he must embark on a journey to find a cure while simultaneously claiming his rightful throne. But how can he survive without his magic, especially when the entire world is against him? A/N: Hayato is an apathetic antihero, a Demon King. He does not hesitate to kill, but he is not a psychopath who goes on a killing spree for fun. The academy is not the main theme; it is only a minor part of the story. The novel mainly follows Hayato—his adventures, dungeon exploration, the demonic continent and its politics, and romance. This is primarily a weak-to-strong progression story, so understand that the MC is not overpowered from the start, though he will still possess conditional strength from the early stages. I am a slow writer.

Ethan leaves a comment on a livestream and doesn’t think much of it afterward, because there are too many people watching and too much noise for anything he says to matter for long. Out of thousands of messages, she remembers his. Not what he said, but his name. Raina doesn’t believe in coincidences because, in her experience, people leave and people forget, and she learned early on that most things don’t stay unless you make them stay. When she recognizes Ethan again after years, she does not rely on chance. She creates the conditions for them to meet again. A job request is made. A meeting follows. Then another, arranged in a way that feels natural enough not to question. Everything appears normal on the surface, and that is exactly why Ethan doesn’t question it, even when something in him quietly tells him he should. He tells himself he is overthinking, that she is simply kind, and that the way she shows up exactly when he needs her is nothing more than timing. But the closer she gets, the harder it becomes for him to separate his daily life from her presence in it. Because Raina doesn’t chase. She keeps. And once you matter to her, distance is no longer something that remains an option.

It's Aria's story. It's more than fantasy

Haruko could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel. And she had become a cannon fodder villainess! Facing a death flag right at the start, Haruko decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead. “Ichiko, the one I like is you!” “You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!” “I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!” She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only. But gradually, Haruko noticed something was off. The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere. “Hey, Haruko, you can only like me too, okay?”

Jump into a new adventure alongside Kevin, Gerald, and Samantha as they navigate the breathtaking world of ENTITY: The Full Saga! Thousands of years in the distant past, humanity faced a threat unlike anything they had ever witnessed. Creatures known as entities roamed the ancient lands, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake as they attacked civilization after civilization, each one lacking the strength and power to oppose the rampaging monsters. From the stacking tragedies emerged the Ancient Symbols, a group of mighty individuals led by one of history’s most renowned figures — the Realm God. Together, they united to form the World Anomaly Hunting Organization, uniting the early world of entities under a single government. Millenia passed before the WAHO plunged into instability, eventually overwhelmed by entities 700 years ago and returning the world to chaos. The three-year timespan between the WAHO’s fall and the next formation of a new hunting organization was known as Anomaly Doomsday — a time where nobody — not even the remnants of the WAHO, could restore order. That was until 697 years ago, when the Nahatan Federal Anomaly Hunting Organization (later changed to the Nahatan Federal Entity Hunting Organization to match modern terminology) formed, followed by hundreds of others such as the AOES (Anatan Organization of Entity Suppression, 690 years ago) and the AEP (Animare Entity Pact, 472 years ago). Together, these country-bound organizations restored order to the world and grew, bringing yet another period of stability in what is known as the Present Day. And, within that peaceful era, three unlicensed teenagers prepared to pursue dreams of their own. Their destination? ENTITY. And, little did they know, a whole new world was waiting at its summit.

PLOT SCOPE The barrier holding back Abaddon — powered by the Twelve Heavenly Crystals — has started to weaken, and Gates to that realm are tearing open all across Zeon, threatening to unleash floods of fiends onto every civilization in their path. In response, the Fabled Class sends Kei and Vincent on a critical scouting mission into the Sunhonghin Imperial Kingdom (Iona). Their goal: infiltrate the Shengyowon vault during the once-every-three-years Fang Heian festival, track down the crystals, and figure out what's draining their power. Once they arrive in Iona, the pair builds a cover story and ends up crossing paths with Princess Choi Yejin, leader of the Blood Rose division. After demonstrating their combat skill through a series of trials and duels at Zheng Fort, they're formally brought into the imperial ranks as her retainers. Their journey deeper into Iona, headed toward Lingwen Fortress, takes a sharp turn when the Southern Alliance Treaty (SAT) launches a full-scale invasion. Forced to fight alongside the Hwa-Samurai along the coastline and take down enemy commanders in the process, Kei and Vincent find themselves stretched thin — juggling their cover as loyal retainers with their real mission, all while something darker moves quietly behind the scenes, working to tear down the barriers protecting their world.

HI, So I guess I should greet you, or should I greet the energy behind you first? So I am Adi, who can see spirits since childhood, and I was not pretty proud about that fact, but now it is my life, so a greater kind of mess is about to happen in my life.

Kayra thought she was losing her mind—until something answered her. She gave it a name... and it obeyed. Now a powerful servant is bound to her—loyal, dangerous, and bound to obey her every command.

**In a place that knows nothing but snow... there is one thing you should never doubt.** The Wall. A colossal wall of ice that has stood behind humanity for generations. No one crosses it, and no one who tries ever returns. So everyone learned to fear it. And they learned to believe everything they were told about it. Ice, however, wanted none of that. He wanted a simple life. To finish what his father had begun, to find a place among others, and to live safely with his mother. But his father died. And after his death, he left Ice things he was never meant to find. A black notebook that only writes when it chooses to. A ring that conceals more than it gives. And secrets that lead him, one step at a time, toward things that should not exist. Then the monster appears. A face without features. Strange symbols etched across its body. And two eyes that look at Ice as though they have known him for years. Before it dies, it tells him only one thing: **“You are a monster.”** From that moment on, everything begins to change. Monsters that do not behave as they should. People who hide more than they say. Laws governing the world whose existence Ice cannot understand. And every time he tries to find an explanation for what is happening, he finds himself facing an even greater question. Why does the world sometimes... **feel as though it knows something he doesn't?** Ice is not a hero searching for the truth because he wants to become stronger. He simply wants to understand. But some questions do not give you answers. They take away the things you were certain of. And in a world where humanity made its own history, created its own laws, and built a Wall that allows no one to cross... the most dangerous thing you may ever do is ask: **“What if everything we know is wrong?”** Because the truth does not always hide behind the Wall. Sometimes... **it has been standing right in front of you from the very beginning.**

To save what remains, he must look beyond the teachings of his masters and find a strength hidden in the spaces between light and dark. The march toward the inevitable has begun.

It's already here.

As a second-time player who traveled back in time, Xu Qiong thought he could change everything. Arriving earlier than before, he killed Tie Mu and believed he had finally saved Onpharos. But when he opened his eyes, reality hit him harder than ever. The Iron Tomb still fell. The scepter had already been destroyed. And the Golden Descendants were reborn once again. No matter what he did, Xi Lian was destined to enter the endless cycle of reincarnation. Just when everything seemed hopeless, a miracle appeared. [Game Development System Activated] The popularity of the game he creates can be exchanged for powerful abilities. So Xu Qiong makes a bold decision. He develops a game based on the tragedy of Onpharos and releases it to the world. The name of the game? Collapsed Star Railway. At first, nobody takes it seriously. "A turn-based game? Another fan-made project trying to ride the Star Rail trend?" But when players begin to experience the story… They laugh. They cry. They become completely immersed. And when the plot reaches its climax, the entire world falls silent. "You will bathe one last time in warm, dazzling gold…" Then something impossible happens. Events from the game begin appearing in reality. The universe is shaken. Players are stunned. "Wait… wasn't this just a fan game?" "How did it become a prophecy?" And when the story finally reaches its end… When the pink-clad girl is about to enter the endless cycle of reincarnation once more— Xu Qiong stands at the end of fate and whispers: "How many sins must a person commit… to bring her back from the depths of hell to the dawn?" "How far must one travel… to find their original self at the end of time?" The epitaph is too short. This life is too long. Xu Qiong reaches out his hand. "Xi Lian… I'm here to take you home." ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Read Ahead & Support Read up to 324 chapters ahead with daily updates at 02radnovel.com Connect & Updates: (Twitter) • x.com/02IsmetHQ Instagram • instagram.com/02novelofficial 100 POWER STONE = BONUS CHAPTER ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
