mystery

Who says a eunuch can’t fall in love? In the noble courts of Valemont, everyone seems to agree that he cannot. Theodore von Virchow is the duke’s second son. A decorated war hero. A man of quiet authority whose cold composure makes even seasoned nobles uneasy. And he is devastatingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and sinfully good-looking, Theodore looks like a man carved by the gods themselves. Many whisper that such beauty is a cruel waste on a eunuch. With a single declaration, Theodore placed himself beyond the expectations of marriage, heirs, and romantic pursuits. Society accepted it without question. The court pitied him. The women stopped pursuing him. And life quietly moved on. Everyone accepted the truth. Everyone… except Everetta Whitmore. For thirteen years, Everetta has loved exactly one man. While society calls her foolish and her parents attempt to marry her off to more suitable lords, she refuses every offer placed before her. Because Everetta Whitmore does not believe love should be so easily abandoned. And if Theodore von Virchow truly is a eunuch? Then she intends to find out exactly what a eunuch ‘can’ do. Everetta begins a relentless pursuit that shocks the entire court. From scandalous masquerade balls to suspiciously convenient accidents in gardens, libraries, and moonlit balconies, she repeatedly throws herself into Theodore’s path with reckless determination. She bumps into him. Provokes him. Tempts him. And every time he tries to escape her, she only chases harder. Until one evening, Theodore finally snaps. “You are chasing a man who cannot give you anything,” he says coldly. “Have you no dignity?” Everetta only smiles. “Dignity?” she says sweetly. “If I cared about dignity, I wouldn’t be in love with you.” But Theodore von Virchow is a man who keeps his distance from the world, guarding himself behind silence and restraint. Least of all does he want the stubborn woman who refuses to leave him alone anywhere near his carefully ordered life. Yet the more Everetta chases him, the more impossible it becomes for him to ignore her. Because chasing a man who insists he cannot love her might ruin her reputation… but Everetta has never been afraid of scandal. … A scandalous historical romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and the relentless woman determined to prove that even a eunuch cannot escape love forever.

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.

In a world where power determines your worth, being ordinary is a death sentence. Seventeen-year-old Michael Ozor is tired of everything.

In a world of magic and Treasures born from the human soul, he searches desperately for anything that might buy him another day.

Khan had always assumed that getting stabbed in a back alley would be bad for his future. Technically, he was correct. He woke up eighteen again, in another world, with no money, no connections, and absolutely no mana. In a civilization where magic determines everything from social status to whether someone can survive a mildly inconvenient monster attack, this was not an encouraging start. Fortunately, Khan did receive a System. Unfortunately, it has opinions. And sarcasm. Mostly sarcasm. No legendary bloodline. No sacred sword. No ancient magic waiting to awaken. What he does have is experience reading people, negotiating terrible deals into slightly less terrible ones, an unhealthy respect for compound interest, and the survival instincts of a man who has already died once and found the experience deeply overrated. So while heroes swing swords and archmages bend reality, Khan does what he knows best. He finds opportunities. A wrecked shipment. A desperate merchant. A coin, even suspicious ones. A princess who has absolutely no concept of reasonable spending. Small problems become profitable solutions. Profitable solutions become connections. And somewhere along the way, Khan begins attracting the attention of people far more dangerous than bankrupt merchants. Because in this world, power comes in many forms. Mana is merely the most obvious one. And Khan has none of it.

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

'The great Orion war. A flame is ignited, and the war begins. The war is remembered even to this day, it spread its ashes over and throughout our galaxy and it ceases not. The great Orion war, was not like other wars before it, in the sense that weapons of mass destruction were not allowed, there were rules to be followed, and everyone knew they needed to abide by them, even the council of 12 or even the Orion empire who presided over the 12 could not dare to break the sanctity of the rules, aimed to protect our galaxy from being destroyed. Greed and power struggles can be alluring and can force those low of ethics to commit atrocities, but as I said that war was nothing like any other before, in the end it became a war of ideology, a war aimed to change the reality of both the victor and the loser. And it did. The Orion war unfortunately had no winner, except for me. Yes, I was the sole victor among the millions that died or were lost never to be found again. Even to this day you can see it. Who else has this amount of power, this amount of knowledge? I won my glory, I won the world.' The Orion man turned around to face the horizon and continued to speak abstractly.

There is always something beyond the map. Civilization has conquered distance. Planets can be engineered. Stars can become engines. Galaxies are territories. Universes are infrastructure. Timelines are roads, dimensions are industrial frontiers, and the Genesis Corps ventures into the places where even the greatest civilizations stop understanding reality. Ashborn Lionheart was supposed to become one of their brightest stars. Then, at ten years old, he vanished. His expedition disappeared into Nihil Aeternum, an impossible realm of broken laws, forgotten civilizations, living disasters, cosmic horrors, and things for which even humanity’s greatest knowledge proved unreliable. His squad died. Rescue never came. Ashborn survived. For nine years he fought, wandered, starved, learned, adapted, rebuilt himself, and clung to one promise: "I am going home." At nineteen, a fracture in the impossible finally gives him that chance. Ashborn returns carrying scars no medical scan can fully explain, a living weapon forged beyond civilization’s maps, armor that evolved into something disturbingly alive, a mysterious girl named Lunavelle who remembers things about him that he does not, and knowledge of a realm mankind was never prepared to confront. But home has not been waiting untouched. Nine years have passed. Friends grew older. Heroes rose without him. Technology advanced. The Genesis Corps that remembers a legendary ten-year-old prodigy must now confront the scarred man standing in his place. And before Ashborn can reclaim his life, one question must be answered: "What exactly came home?" Because Ashborn’s return is only the beginning. Ancient structures recognize his name. Forgotten systems awaken in his presence. Dead histories remember a Lionheart who should not exist. Somewhere beyond the frontier waits an enemy connected to a life Ashborn himself cannot remember. To discover what he is, what he was, and what he chooses to become, Ashborn must return to the one place he spent nine years trying to escape: the unknown. This time, he is going willingly. PROJECT GENESIS: BORN FROM ASH A cosmic science-fantasy epic of exploration, survival, war, mystery, ancient identity, evolving power, and the endless frontier beyond every known map.
