mystery

Kang Min-jae never imagined that the world could end in the middle of the night. One moment he was asleep in his apartment. The next, he was lying on the floor, trembling, with a kitchen knife buried deep inside the chest of the thing on top of him. Warm blood ran down his hand. His thoughts jumped wildly between I think I just wet my pants… and HOLY DEATH’S DOOR!! And then things became even crazier. A message appeared in the air before his eyes. [System Activated] [Scanning Host...] [Compatibility with Necro-Evolution: 93%] [Class Type: Legendary] [Emergency Survival Objective Issued] Zombie Elimination Quota: 1 / 50 Time Limit: 01:00:00 Penalty: Failure to obtain System Min-jae stared at the glowing window. Then at the corpse beneath him. Then at the pounding sounds coming from the hallway outside his apartment. “…JUST WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL IS HAPPENING?!”

In the elf kingdom Saltus, on the outskirts of the capital Medio. Baoba and his squad are departing to start the grand hunt. They have been preparing a long time, while the Lord, their sworn enemy, grew in power. Against them, a human team, in the same conditions, try to take them by speed. If the humans win, it's the end of Saltus, and if no one kills it, it's the end of the world. "I get that, but why's it have to be me ?" Baoba is a dark elf, and the only reason he enrolled in the first place was to get a place to sleep. Unfortunately, it turns out he's the best. "Please let this be under a year..." We follow him and his team as they struggle through a densely populated cursed forest, mostly trying not to die, and, maybe, fulfill their purpose. --------------------------------------------------- Big thanks to Louis Iske @1aim_studios for the cover art.

Eight love stories. One broken timeline. And letters that should never exist. Aarav begins receiving messages from a future that hasn’t happened yet… warning him about moments that can destroy everything. But every choice he makes pulls him deeper into a dangerous web where love, friendship, and destiny collide. Around him, eight couples fight their own battles— from best friends turning into enemies and lovers again, to a contract marriage between Aditya and Pooja that slowly turns into something real, painful, and unbreakable. Families stand strong, protecting not just their sons… but loving their daughters-in-law like their own hearts. Enemies rise from shadows, attacking not just lives—but emotions, trust, and time itself. As secrets unfold, one truth becomes clear— some people are not just connected by love… they are connected by fate across time. And when the final letter arrives… it’s no longer from the future. It’s from someone who was never supposed to write it

The village of Edenrock is old not grand, not poor, just old. Its people live close to the soil and closer still to each other’s secrets. They hold festivals for the changing fruit. They write poems in the bark of birch trees. And though the world outside has shifted grown louder, hungrier, more mechanical Edenrock remains untouched, or so its residents would like to believe. Then comes Nerin, a pale stranger with scholar’s hands and a satchel of half-scorched journals. He claims to be a traveling apprentice-scribe, assigned to copy the local stories and dialects. But his silences stretch a little too long, his gaze lingers a little too much on the half-buried stone obelisks, and his dreams seem too vivid for a man who sleeps so little. Still, no one pays him much mind. The Festival of Stonefruit is approaching, and there are tents to mend, bread to bake, and gossip to spread. The real story does not begin with Nerin. It begins with a toothless dog that keeps digging in the orchard. It begins with a little girl who draws dreams she should not remember. It begins with water that tastes faintly of ash, and a wind that carries words no one speaks anymore. Ashes in the Riverwind is not about saving the world. It is about noticing the slow rot in the walls before they fall. It is about people whose lives are so quiet, they barely hear themselves unraveling. Magic, if it exists, does not announce itself. It hums beneath the floorboards. Some things in Edenrock were never buried deep enough.

"I told you not to touch her!" Adrian's voice tore through the air as his fist struck the man again. Blood stained his hands, yet his fury showed no sign of fading. "Adrian, stop! Please... you'll kill him!" Eira cried, desperately trying to pull him away. But he didn't even hear her. His jaw clenched as his crimson eyes burned with murderous fury. "Today..." he growled, raising his bloodstained fist once more. "...I'll kill you." Only after Eira desperately threw herself between them did Adrian finally stop. Even then, the storm inside him refused to fade. Later, as silence filled the car, Adrian's voice cut through it like a blade. His crimson eyes locked onto hers. "Next time... I'll kill him if he touches you again." Adrian, a vampire, hides behind cold words, ruthless actions, and a hatred that seems impossible to question. Eira, a human, cannot understand why the man who keeps pushing her away is always the one who saves her. The closer Eira gets to the truth, the more Adrian tries to drive her away. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... and some bonds cannot be broken, no matter how hard they try to fight them. In a world where love is forbidden, enemies lurk in the shadows, and fate has already chosen its path, one question remains... Can love rewrite destiny, or will destiny destroy them before the truth is revealed?

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.
