I’d been reading a Webnovel called The Dance of Power. It wasn’t a blockbuster hit, but it had a devoted fanbase — and the worldbuilding was interesting enough to keep me hooked. Flawed, sure, but filled with potential. Its biggest draw was its gimmick: An interactive system that lets readers submit their own character sheets to be added to the story. Naturally, I made one. Naturally… it got rejected. “Not unique enough.” “Doesn’t fit the plot.” “Try again next event.” I shrugged it off. It was just a character, after all. At least, until I opened my eyes — and found myself inside the world of The Dance of Power, inhabiting the very same character the author had turned down. A character who wasn’t meant to exist. A character with no place in the story. A flaw in the narrative. And in a universe built on power, politics, and brutal hierarchy… Being a mistake is the most dangerous thing you can be.

Something is moving in the shadows, and it’s always one step ahead. People are dying, each left with a strange, haunting mark—a spiral, three weeping eyes, a six-fingered hand. No one knows what it means, and no one knows who’s behind it. Then the whispers start. Secrets thought buried come crawling back. Lives are shaken. The city itself feels alive with tension, as if every street corner hides a watcher, every message carries a threat. No one is safe. Everyone is just a pawn. And the game has only just begun.

He is suddenly reincarnated into the very world the book described: a primordial land where history is living, magic is raw, and danger is absolute. Now, trapped in the Land of Beginning, Allen must trade his shovel for a sword and his scrolls for spells. Armed with a modern scholar’s intellect and his mastery of ancient linguistics, he joins forces with a band of companions to solve the realm’s deadliest puzzles. In a race against a looming "End," Allen must use his unique knowledge to uncover the truth of his rebirth and rewrite the destiny of a world he was born to study

Armed only with his sharp intelligence and his prior knowledge of this world’s secrets and his experience of living inside the world's most dangerous prison for fifteen years.

I died on a rainy night. I still remember the cold pavement beneath me… the sound of my heartbeat fading… and his eyes — dark, emotionless — watching me as my world went black. He killed me. But that wasn’t the end. I woke up. Not in a hospital. Not in heaven. Not in hell. I woke up because of him. Now, I’m bound to the man who took my life — a man who isn’t entirely human… and who refuses to tell me why I’m still breathing. The closer I get to the truth, the more dangerous he becomes. And the worst part? I’m starting to fall for him. In a world filled with shadows, secrets, and things that should never exist… I don’t know what’s more terrifying— the truth behind my death… or the man who brought me back.

Lin Yue has never been afraid of being alone. At twenty-four, he has already lived through more than most people ever will—not in grand, tragic ways, but in quiet, suffocating ones. Growing up as an orphan passed between cold institutions and indifferent guardians, he learned early that attachment leads to pain. By adulthood, he lives a detached, monotonous life, working night shifts and avoiding unnecessary human connections. To him, living is simply continuing. Everything changes on a rain-soaked night when he returns to his apartment. The hallway feels wrong—too long, too silent. Then, a voice calls his name from behind. Calmly, without hesitation, Lin Yue ignores it and keeps walking. That single decision triggers something unseen. When he reaches his door, the number has changed to “404.” The moment he steps inside, reality fractures. Lin Yue is pulled into a game called the Flow, a system of endless horror instances where players must survive deadly scenarios governed by obscure and shifting rules. Failure means erasure. Survival means being dragged into the next nightmare. Unlike other players, Lin Yue adapts quickly, relying on observation, emotional detachment, and his ability to remain calm under pressure. But something is wrong. Despite breaking rules and defying logic, Lin Yue is never punished by the System. Instead, he is marked—singled out by an unknown force. His actions begin to distort the behavior of instances, as if the world itself cannot fully process him. That is when he notices him. Gu Yanchen, known as the Arbiter, is a being feared by all players—an enforcer of the System who exists to maintain order and eliminate anomalies. Cold, precise, and seemingly inhuman, he should have killed Lin Yue the moment he deviated from the rules. Yet he doesn’t. Instead, Gu Yanchen watches. As their paths intertwine, Lin Yue is forced to confront something more terrifying than death—connection. Gu Yanchen, who should be nothing more than a mechanism of judgment, begins to act with intention, even obsession. Faced with this impossible choice, the Arbiter hesitates—for the first time. That hesitation fractures the system itself. Rules collapse, instances distort, and the Flow begins to unravel. In a world where everything is designed to erase humanity… What happens when two people refuse to let go? “The System wants me dead. But its Arbiter won’t allow it.”

Nathalie never expected to survive losing her twin brother. She just didn’t expect the universe to make it worse. One moment, she’s falling—literally breaking through reality itself. The next, she crash-lands into a world that shouldn’t exist: an elite academy governed by a rigid and absurd system that divides its students into only two categories—Feminine and Masculine. There’s just one problem. Nathalie doesn’t fit into either. Loud, impulsive, emotionally guarded, and dangerously unstable, she immediately becomes an anomaly—someone the system can’t classify, can’t control, and possibly… can’t contain. But Nathalie doesn’t care about their rules. She’s here for one reason. To find Andrew. Because somehow—impossibly—she knows he’s here. Hidden among strangers. Rewritten. Disguised. Or worse… changed. As she navigates the academy’s suffocating expectations, Nathalie begins to suspect that multiple people could be her brother. A quiet boy who feels oddly familiar. A chaotic student who shares his habits. A perfect figure who hides too much behind composure. The more she searches, the more everything starts to blur. Clues contradict each other. Memories don’t match. And the system itself begins to crack under her presence. But the biggest truth? Andrew isn’t lost. He’s hiding. And he might be the one who doesn’t want to be found. Now Nathalie must face something far more terrifying than a broken world— The possibility that she’s been searching for the wrong person all along.

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.
