I have two principles as a human being: 1. Never lie. 2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself. “Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the first.” “Where’s the contradiction?” “If you never lie, why don’t you believe what you say?” “Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, I don’t consider myself a human being.” ===============================

In the city of Caelum Spire — a gleaming tower-metropolis suspended above the clouds of a world called Aethon — sound is power, and power is everything. Seventeen years after the Resonance Event, an inexplicable phenomenon that rewired a fraction of humanity to channel sound as a weapon, a tool, or an art form, the Awakened have reshaped civilization. They are soldiers, architects, healers, and tyrants. They are celebrities and criminals. They are, depending on who you ask, the next step in human evolution or the first symptom of its collapse. Kael Voss is neither soldier nor celebrity. He is seventeen years old, an orphan from the Lower Tiers of Caelum Spire, and the only thing he has ever wanted is to play like Seren. Seren. The Rhythmist. The greatest performer the city ever produced. The man who vanished mid-concert eleven years ago, leaving behind nothing but a single unfinished recording and a city that still hasn't stopped arguing about what it meant. Kael was six years old when he watched that concert on a cracked wall-screen in a Lower Tier shelter. He has wanted nothing else since. But wanting doesn't put food on the table in the Lower Tiers, and talent doesn't buy passage to the Academy in the Upper Rings. So Kael survives. He fights in underground rhythm duels for credits. He patches together salvaged instruments in the dark. He practices alone on rooftops while the city hums and glitters kilometers above him. Then one night, a fight goes wrong. A debt comes due. A door opens into a world Kael was never supposed to see — and he walks through it, not because he is brave, but because he has nothing left to lose.

He was nothing special in his previous life—just an ordinary man with terrible luck. But when he transmigrates into a brutal world of cultivation, where spirits rule the skies, beastmen dominate the wilds, and countless races fight for survival, he realizes something terrifying… His luck followed him. Born without talent in a world where strength is everything, he is treated as trash. Betrayed. Humiliated. Forgotten. Yet what no one knows is that his “ordinary” knowledge from Earth… is not ordinary here. In the shadows of gods and demons, he will carve a path no one dares to walk. This is the story of a man who turns misfortune into power—and walks the impossible road of the shadow.

What happens when the protagonist of a world dies? Does the world cease to exist? Or does it hold its crumbling pieces together in a desperate attempt to save itself? In a world where peace had finally become a reality, the man chosen by fate dies in an accident the world was never meant to allow. His death went unnoticed, unacknowledged by the world and the system that rules it. Until it was too late. As things go south and mana starts seeping into a world that is marching towards its demise, Kim Han—a man that was never supposed to mean anything in this story—finds himself facing a difficult situation. Unseen and uninterrupted by the fate that was withering, he must decide if he should quietly intervene in the tragedy that will unfold, or let the world choke under the weight of a story that will now never end.

It's a Supernatural, Psychological Horror, Dark Contemporary Fiction And social Commentary Horror. ‎ ‎A chilling novel that weaves past and present into a single, haunting narrative about  loneliness, inequality, and the cost of institutional cruelty. ‎The story begins in 1995 at St. Brigid’s Home for Children, an orphanage where neglected children live on the margins of society. What starts as strange noises, whispered voices, and a red ball soon escalates into pure horror when children begin to vanish without any physical trace.  Authorities dismiss the supernatural explanation, sealing the orphanage’s fate and burying the truth under silence. ‎Fifteen years later, history resurfaces at TownPort High, an elite-driven school ruled by Principal Dawson’s ruthless hierarchy. Students are divided into “elites” and “dumb souls,” with public humiliation used as discipline. This systemic inequality isolates vulnerable students, creating emotional wounds eerily similar to those that existed in the orphanage. ‎Alex, a marginalized student, begins experiencing disturbing visions tied to the 1995 Mystery. As suicides, hallucinations, and possession-like events unfold, Alex uncovers the truth: ‎the same entity from 1995 has returned, feeding not on violence, but on loneliness, rejection, and despair, allowing the entity to cross into the physical world when emotional isolation reaches its peak. ‎ ‎Through buried records, survivors, and forbidden knowledge, Alex learns that the entity grows stronger when institutions fail their most vulnerable. ‎ ‎It captures the fact in the supernatural aspect of the world

[Warning! R18+ Mature Content] After embarassingly dying by 'coming' on a museum worker, and then angering a Forgotten God by 'coming' on him as well, Jimmy transmigrated along with his date of the day, to another world where his problematic 'cannon' shots started making more sense. His destiny was fulfilled as he transmigrated into a Bloodmancer's body, where every shot literally was like that of a cannon's! Finding himself in a land riddled with dinosaurs, with species of dinosaurs jamming together from different Eras as if the Paleontological studies from back on Earth were a joke, survival was not only difficult, but it was unique! As a Bloodmancer, he learned that he could tame dinosaurs and keep them as pets, by essentially smushing their brains around like play dough! A useful skill, on account to the fact how infinitely useful dinosaurs were, since every living species bore Primal Magic, a category of magic with branches that were impossible to predict. Surrounded by temptation, by ladies who did not even comprehend the concept of a harem, he started collecting primal beauties as if it was a day-job! Somehow, his tamed dinosaurs helped him attract women, in a way that it was nearly impossible to figure out! He just knew that women wanted him, even the older ones, and he made great use of this curse/blessing from the angered God! He almost felt like every time he made love with his girlfriends, the Forgotten God got angrier. However, life was never that simple. With abandoned alien technology sprinkled across the world, and large-scale Tribe Wars brewing, Jimmy had little time to figure out how to best use such technologies in a world where the greatest invention that humanity made was not the wheel, but the bow and arrow! Collecting beauties might be fun, but what would the point be if his tribe got wiped out from the face of the Grasslands, his new home? The clock was ticking, so to speak, and he had to act fast! "Them thighs might be thick, but the plot is thicker, and with jacked up dinosaur clones sent to war, the future was absolutely impossible to predict!" ... - 200+ Power Stones a week = 1 Bonus Chapter - 30 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter ~ Be sure to check out my other novels in my author profile.

At eighteen, Riele Anderson has everything people dream of—fame, beauty, and a name the world recognizes. But behind the flashing cameras and perfect smiles is a girl who lost her parents too young and grew up learning how to survive, not how to live. Tired of being seen but never known, Riele does something reckless and brave—she hides. At her new school in Los Angeles, she becomes Ryerson Anderson, a quiet boy with no spotlight and no past. For the first time, she tastes normalcy: real friendships, laughter without cameras, and a boy named Noah Rivers who makes her feel safe in ways she never expected. But Noah has a crush on the girl Riele pretends not to be, and every moment with him blurs the line between truth and betrayal. While Riele hides her identity, her cousin Vera lives loudly—flashy, confident, and fearless. When an online romance follows Vera into real life, it brings danger, humiliation, and secrets she never saw coming. What starts as a teenage mistake slowly unravels something far darker. As lies pile up, buried truths resurface—about adoption, wealth, and a powerful family whose past refuses to stay hidden. Every character is tied together by secrets they didn’t choose and names they never fully owned. When identities are exposed and the truth finally comes knocking, Riele must decide who she is willing to lose—and who she is brave enough to become. Because some names protect you. And others destroy everything you’re trying to save.

History does not repeat. It is corrected. In a world where power is derived from Fate and interpretation, most choose the Seven Divine Paths—safe, stable, and blessed by gods who govern reality itself. Ryn refuses. As fragments of a forgotten war resurface and the truth behind divine “blessings” begins to unravel, he discovers that power borrowed from gods is never truly his. And the more you accept their sky— The less you belong to yourself.

In a world governed by "Resonance"—the measure of one’s spiritual aura—a young man named Alex lives a secluded life under the watchful eye of his mentor, Alya. Alex possesses a terrifying secret: an aura so vast and volatile that it defies the laws of magic. To the world, he is a "Reborn," a soul of legend whose awakening threatens the balance of power held by a shadowy Order of Hunters. Alya is not just a teacher; she is the "Evil Sword," a high-ranking assassin sent by the mysterious Master to execute Alex before his power matures. However, as she trains the boy, his innocence and hidden potential begin to thaw her frozen heart. Caught between her blood-stained past and a future she wants to protect, Alya chooses treason over murder. When the Master realizes Alya’s hesitation, he dispatches the "Top 5 Hunters"—the world’s most elite killers—to finish the job. Among them is Ravi, Alya’s childhood companion, who is torn between his loyalty to the Order and his unspoken bond with the only sister he has ever known. As the Hunters descend upon their mountain sanctuary, a desperate battle erupts. Alya and Ravi must hold the line against overwhelming odds, including the terrifying, air-stepping Rank 1 Hunter, Mina. With her final breath of strength, Alya guides Alex to unleash his untamed power, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a key to a dimensional gateway. Exiled to a foreign land and separated from the only person who ever loved him, Alex awakens with his body scarred and his heart broken. But the bond of the heart is not so easily severed. Now, armed with the "Final Lesson" Alya left behind and an aura that is finally under his command, Alex begins a journey of vengeance and redemption. He will stop at nothing to tear down the Order and find the woman who gave her life so he could have one.

Cultivation is a scam. History is written by the victors. And I intend to write the final chapter.-Li Wudi Waking up as a dying Ancestor with mere days to live, Li Yun realized he has drawn the worst lot in the transmigration lottery.

He chooses the latter. Through a forbidden art, he splits his soul. One body in the light: A ruthless genius who leads the sect and bullies the "Son of Heaven." One body in the dark: An invincible, ancient monster who hoards 10,000x Rebates from the System. [Ding! You gifted your disciple a Rusty Sword.] [System Critical Hit! Reward: Emperor-Slaying Divine Blade.] Logic? Fairness? Plot Armor? Those are for heroes. Li Yun is here to survive, and he doesn't care whose destiny he has to steal to do it.

The last twelve months are a black hole for Ema. She has no idea who she is or where she came from. Her reality consists of a cheap sublet, dead-end jobs, and blister packs of antidepressants used to drown out the feeling that her life is nothing but a stage set. Her parents' faces are a blur. Her memories are nonexistent. Except for the nightmares. Every night, dreams call her to a place not found on any map. To a city where trees burst through concrete and shattered windows stare like blind eyes. Ema knows she must return if she wants to uncover the truth about her lost year. But stepping into the ruins of her nightmares reveals that solitude was the least of her dangers. In a dead city where black thorns devour reality, she is not alone. Watching from the shadows is a man with golden eyes. A man who knows more about her than she does-and who might be her only hope for survival.

When love is shattered by misunderstanding, hearts can break in ways that take years to heal. Five years ago, Seo Ah-rin and Kim Joon-woo parted ways, their love buried under shadows of regret and unspoken truths. Now, fate forces them to face each other again—older, changed, and carrying the scars of the past. But is this reunion simply a twist of destiny, or a chance for their hearts to find what they lost? In a world of secrets, obsession, and second chances, can two hearts torn apart learn to trust, love, and forgive once more—or will the shadows of the past claim them forever?

In a world where clans are not just families but symbols of power, blood, and destiny… Lixuan’s story begins. Mischievous on the outside but quietly broken within, Lixuan never wanted to be a hero. But when darkness stops belonging to the night… and begins to live inside human hearts, running away is no longer an option. Within the calm rules of the academy lies an ancient secret — three fragments of a forbidden stone, a power capable of saving the world… or destroying it completely. Two fragments have already fallen into the hands of Mo Yan — a man who is less human and more catastrophe. He believes the world is beyond saving, and that the only way to purify it… is to tear it apart. As clans begin to distrust one another, as sacred places grow restless, and as the rules meant to protect everyone begin to break — Lixuan is drawn into a war far bigger than himself. With Zhichen’s unwavering strength beside him and the sacrifice of Li Chen forever carved into his fate, Lixuan must face a truth no one is ready to accept: To defeat the darkness… must one become darkness? And somewhere, in an unknown corner of the world… the third stone fragment waits — for a destiny that could change everything.

All the mishaps just began during the summer break for me, a girl from a family of five, since my parents have two older twin brothers named Milo and Miles who has my whole life mapped out for me. My parents are wealthy, overbearing, and strict who are always monitoring my activities, though I am not the only one in the family. One night before the start of the summer vacation, I asked my parents about my goal of taking up the job as an hacker in Pakistan during the summer vacation, and this led to an argument with my parents that ended with them grounding me for the entire summer vacation. I decided to sneak out that evening to Delilah's where the conversation turned to the return of the Mafia kings and the high rate of kidnapping and yes (Delilah is two years older than I am, and I, actually, am also a sophomore at University of Milan studying Criminology and also Milos' former girlfriend). I explained to her what happened and asked whether she has a job to offer, and then she suggested something about working as a maid to get information about Lucas "The Mafia Lord" regarding the cases of kidnapping and missing girls in her school. Although it sounded like a crazy idea, I offered my service-at least anything to get me away from home. Lilah made up a lie to my parents that I was going to spend the summer at her place, while they were going to spend their summer at Kuwait, as well as expand our mining business. A week later, I set out for Placid Mansion, where hundreds of girls line up to get this job, and a few were picked by his secretary-which I was among the lucky few. Well, I wouldn't say that if I knew the mess I was getting myself into.

The story follows Bai Liu, who, after losing his job, becomes involved with multiple unavoidable horror live-streaming games full of various monsters and players with killing intent, putting the players’ lives at stake.

“He is the director and screenwriter of Dead Silence, The Grudge, and The Village of the Dead.” “At the same time, he is also a world-renowned Ghost-type Pokémon Master!” Edward looked at his own face on the cover of the magazine and sighed. “I just wanted to bring some horror films to the world—how did I end up as a Pokémon Master?” Ghost-type Pokémon are so cute. What do they have to do with those ghosts? Absolutely nothing! This is not the story of a protagonist who trains and fights with his Pokémon. The protagonist in this story chose to become a Director rather than a Trainer. Consider it a Hollywood fic based in the Pokémon world. …..
