House Of Puppets

Arthur Moreau was not just a player. He was the best. In a massively multiplayer game notorious for its brutal complexity and unforgiving systems, Arthur stood at the top. While others blamed imbalance or randomness, he mapped mechanics, dissected probabilities, and reduced chaos to structure. His reputation was not built on personality. It was built on dominance. At the center of that dominance stood his character: Gepetto. The most powerful Marionettist ever created. A class feared for its indirect warfare, battlefield control, and absolute manipulation. Gepetto did not overpower enemies — he repositioned them. He did not charge into combat — he decided who moved, who fell, and who never realized they were already defeated. Then, during a live broadcast, everything fractures. No warning. No transition screen. No system notification. Arthur is dragged into the game. Not as a beginner. Not as a weakened version of himself. But as Gepetto — at the height of his power. His skills remain. His mechanical knowledge remains. His understanding of builds, factions, exploits, and hidden systems remains. What changes is the world. Pain is real. Death is permanent. There is no respawn. No reset. No logout. And the systems he once exploited now react unpredictably — because players were variables. People are not. Trapped inside the body of the most feared Marionettist, Arthur realizes something unsettling: Power in theory is clean. Power in reality reshapes everything around it. In this world, the name Arthur Moreau no longer matters. Only one question does: Who truly holds the strings?

After The Midnight Hour

It's Katelyn Reyes’ first day at work as an Intelligence Bureau agent and she is sent to handle a high profile murder case. While her colleagues believe it to be an act of vengeance from an obsessive ex, Katelyn believes otherwise. To her, the case seems anything but simple and she takes it upon herself to uncover the truth. However, finding the truth doesn’t seem easy. Every path she takes leads to a dead end, leaving her frustrated and disheartened. In her search for the real murderer, she receives help from her neighbor, Kincaid Ferell, a SWAT team leader, who is on convalescent leave. She finds herself drawn to him in the first meet and the feelings are mutual. With Kincaid's help, she is close to finding the killer. But the murder case becomes stranger and more sinister and as time passes, the body count rises. It’s not just an act of vengeance anymore, but a serial killer at large. During the hunt for the murderer, Katelyn comes across a shocking discovery that leaves her mortified. The killer seems familiar and now, she has become the prey. Will Katelyn be able to capture the killer before she is captured? And why is Kincaid the only one she can trust during times of need? ----------------------------------------------------------- Scene 1 - Kincaid took a step closer towards Kate. "You lost the challenge, Kate. Now, it's time to fulfill my wish." Kate looked at him warily while her heart pounded in anticipation. "What is your wish?" Kincaid smiled in triumph and leaned forward until his lips were inches away from hers. "Go on a date with me." ----------------------------------------------------------- Scene 2 - Kate: Will you teach me how to ride a motorbike? Kincaid: I'd love to. (Smirks evilly) An hour later..... Kate: I asked you to teach me how to ride a motorbike. What are you doing? Kincaid: What am I doing? (Feigns innocence) Kate: Mister, control your unruly hands. Kincaid: Hey, I'm scared. I need to hold on to something lest I slip and fall. Kate: Oh, please. Scared and you? Kin, stop it. You're distracting me. Kincaid: How is it my fault? My girlfriend is sitting in front of me and it's my right to hug her from behind. You continue riding the motorbike while I exercise my right. ------------------------------------------------------------ Scene 3 - Kate: I'm on leave today. Let's do something interesting. Kincaid: Really? (Eyes twinkling in mischief) Kate: What do we do? Kincaid: I have a suggestion. Let's not leave bed today. Kate: No way. (Tries to run away but gets pulled back instantly) Kincaid: Objection denied. Now stop struggling. Warning: Mature content, lots of fluff, and heart-fluttering scenes. Readers have been warned.
