《Devil》 tells the story of Chi You, the protagonist shou, who was killed by someone and cultivated for revenge with the help of Feng Li, the protagonist gong. When Jiang Luo woke up, he transmigrated into the body of the cannon fodder that killed the protagonist shou. What’s even worse, he transmigrated at the time when the protagonist shou was already killed by the original body. At the funeral, Jiang Luo was pushed in front of the coffin. The deceased body of the protagonist shou in front of him was serene, with a smile at the corner of his lips. However, Jiang Luo knew that he had turned into a malicious spirit and was eyeing covetously at him. The more dangerous it was, the calmer Jiang Luo became. When his desire for survival reached the critical point, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and forced himself to cry. With his sincere emotion, he said: “Chi You, I love you so much. Please don’t leave me…” The chilliness around him smothered slightly.

When the world went dark, Sergeant Iris Holt was the first to die… and the last to wake. Centuries after a battlefield explosion erased her from history, she opens her eyes half-human, half-machine. Guided by Cadence, an AI with the voice of a ghost and a wit sharp enough to cut glass, Iris crosses a wasteland where metal is currency and energy is life. Every fragment she takes makes her stronger, faster, less human. And somewhere between the silence and the static, she has to decide whether being human is as important as surviving.......

Waking up in the middle of a dream, a strange door appears in the house... Behind each door lies a different, unfamiliar world. In the nightmare world, Jiang Cheng exaggerated the news he got from the strong man and told it to the fat man. The latter was almost in tears as he listened, "If we die here, our entire family will bleed to death upside down?" "That's right." "Then why don't you seem that scared?" The fat man widened his eyes. Jiang Cheng turned his head and said in a very serious tone, "Because I'm an orphan." --- You can support me and read ahead at my Pa treon at Pa treon.com/CinderTL

This isn’t a story. It’s a warning wrapped in fiction. A village no map dares to mark. Eight friends who never should’ve gone. And a truth that has no name—because no one lived long enough to speak it. They laughed at the legends. Scoffed at the tales of cursed soil and voices that echo without a source. They called it superstition, drama, a thrill-seeking detour before their return to deadlines and coffee breaks. But the moment they stepped into that village, it remembered them. Now, they’re vanishing—one by one. But not the way you think. Not with blood or screaming. Silently. As if they were never there. Their names fade from conversation. Their belongings are untouched. Their memories, misaligned. And worst of all—someone else takes their place. Every time. Ask yourself this: How many people walked into the village? Can you even trust your own count? By the time you reach the final chapter, you’ll look back at every line and wonder— How did I miss it? How was the truth hiding there the entire time? If you’re here for a ghost story, you’ll be disappointed. Because this isn’t about ghosts. It’s about you. Your memory. Your belief. And how easily they can be torn apart. Welcome to Bhairavpur. The village that never forgets. And never lets you leave… as yourself.

In the far reaches of space, where empires rise and fall in silence, a rogue crew aboard a ship unlike any other carves its path through the void. Their leader — enigmatic, dangerous, and driven by something deeper than conquest — leaves a trail of havoc wherever he goes. But this isn’t just a story of rebellion. It’s a story of purpose. Of fate. Of whether the stars themselves can be bent to one man’s will. TARTARUSIOS blends high-stakes action with mystery and mythic undertones. The ship is more than metal — it’s legend. The crew, more than criminals — they’re chosen. And as their journey unfolds, the question remains: will they reach their goal, or will destiny rewrite their course?

When a meteor struck Earth, it shattered the balance of the world. Gates ripped open across the continents, spewing creatures from realms humanity was never meant to touch. To resist extinction, humans awakened mysterious Marks — glyphs that bound them to power, ranked by their synchronization with the Echo Realm. Except for Kai. Branded a Zero Sync, his Mark never once flickered, condemning him to a life of humiliation as a porter — a burden dragging behind real Hunters. Yet in the depths of a raid gone wrong, when an abomination beyond its rank slaughtered his comrades, something impossible occurred. A shard — unseen, unwanted — sank into his worthless Mark. For the first time, it lit. But no one else saw. To the world, Kai remained “Lucky Zero,” surviving only through cowardice and chance. Only he knows the truth: a hidden System whispers to him in silence, showing him attributes, skills, and a Pathway no one else can perceive. To unlock it demands brutal endurance, endless suffering, and secrets that will make him a target of gods and monsters alike. As the world teeters closer to collapse, Kai must walk a road between shadows, hiding his growing power until the time comes when humanity has no one left to turn to. Because in the end… the future of mankind may rest on the shoulders of the one they mocked as nothing.

Seth Ragnar was nothing. An orphan lost in a city ruled by power he could never touch — the power of the Titans. When fate led him to be adopted by the Ragnar family, one of the most feared Titan bloodlines in the world, his life changed overnight. They were living weapons — humans born with Talents capable of reshaping the world. Seth, however, was the exception — a human among gods. Powerless, ridiculed, and constantly reminded he did not belong, he became the family’s weakest link, a shadow in their golden home. Until the day the accident happened. A tragedy meant to end his life awakened something impossible inside him — a Talent that defied Titan logic itself. Suddenly, the powerless orphan became an anomaly. A Titan beyond comprehension. Now, as hidden wars between bloodlines threaten to tear the nation apart, Seth Ragnar must navigate a world that fears him, control a power that terrifies even Titans, and uncover the truth about what he has become. Because in a world ruled by Titans, some monsters aren’t born — they’re made. --- Join the discord!! https://discord.gg/ZXYVcbyGW

In the ancient realm of Elyndor, where astral tides shape destinies and forgotten gods whisper through the roots of colossal world-trees, a newborn elf awakens with memories he shouldn’t have. He is Aeryn Vaelorian—an unremarkable child by all standards, frail in body and meager in talent. In a land where power is etched into one’s bloodline, he stands at the very bottom. But hidden within him lies a silent anomaly: an unfathomable ether construct known only as the System. It observes, measures, evolves. When ancient clans stir, forbidden creatures rise from the Astral Chasm, and political shadows weave conspiracies through silver courts, Aeryn is pushed into a journey across kingdoms, ruins, dreamscapes, and planes beyond sight. Guided by an ability no being in Elyndor has even conceived, he climbs from insignificance toward a fate intertwined with cosmic secrets. Every step grants him power. Every revelation reshapes his identity. And every twist leads him closer to the truth of why he exists in a world that should never have birthed him. This is the saga of an elf who begins at the lowest rung—but who will someday stand above gods, mysteries, and fate itself. *** A/N: Has Gone Through a Rewrite.

He just refuses to run. A journey through seas, grief, and the weight of freedom.
