{MATURE CONTENT} One stolen invitation. One forbidden dance. And now… the most feared vampire duke won’t let her go. Isadora Wren only wanted one night—one chance to step into the world that killed her mother. Disguised in a borrowed gown, she sneaks into the masked ball at Mirewood Hall… and into the arms of Caelan Virellion, the cold and reclusive Duke of Ravenshade. He hasn’t danced in a century. He hasn’t felt in even longer. But with her? He hungers. Now whispers swirl through Bellmere: a commoner has caught the eye of a vampire lord. As stolen glances turn to secret touches, Isadora finds herself pulled deeper into Caelan’s dark world—one of ancient bloodlines, ruthless power, and deadly secrets. But Isadora isn’t just fighting scandal—she’s chasing the truth about her mother’s disappearance… and the monstrous legacy Caelan might be hiding. He could ruin her. She might destroy him. And some dances end in blood.

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest. Her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself after the endless years of solitude, and all the heartbreaks that covered her heart in eternal ice. While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize her child's body to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with. In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia. What Tatyana didn't know at that time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~~ I woke up as the protagonist’s younger sister in the massively popular novel Solo Player. Fated to die no matter what path I take, constantly shadowed by my ridiculously overprotective brother — the world’s strongest solo player himself — I should have been helpless. But I won’t go down that easily. I’ll train until I surpass every limit, break free from this predetermined death flag, and rewrite my own ending. All while the Constellations bombard me with sponsorships, gifts, and endless fangirling like I’m some top-tier idol streamer. …What is wrong with these cosmic weirdos?! ~~~~

In a nation divided between the wealthy Spires and the struggling Sinks, one hundred citizens are sent to Blackwake to compete in the Red Hunt, a televised game where only the strongest are expected to win a prize and residency in the Spires. The hunters are divided into teams of four called Quadrangles. Each Quadrangle is made up of four classes: the Tactician, who leads the team through strategy and decision-making; the Scout, who moves ahead to gather information and navigate danger; the Fighter, who handles combat and protects the team; and the Lifeline, who keeps injured teammates alive and provides medical support. Among them is Elowen Bradshaw, a teenage girl from the Sinks who enters the Hunt expecting nothing more than a way to help her dying aunt. But Blackwake is not the arena the government claims it to be. As mysteries pile up and the island reveals secrets buried beneath its surface, Elowen begins to realize that someone has been watching and manipulating the game from the shadows. The deeper Elowen goes, the more the Red Hunt stops looking like a competition and starts looking like something far more terrifying. Because the Hunters were never chosen at random. The Red Hunt was never about finding a winner. It was about deciding who deserved to be erased, then convincing an entire nation to watch. ~•~ "May the worthy endure. May the Spires remain eternal. Let the Red Hunt commence." ~•~ This novel contains some graphic content including violence & blood. Reader discretion is advised. Copyright © 2026 Eugene John Lubaton All Rights Reserved.

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

In a technologically advanced future where elite academies compete for prestige, eleven exceptional students receive a mysterious invitation to participate in The Chrysalis Initiative, a secretive tournament reputed to challenge the world’s most brilliant minds. Within an advanced simulation, the participants are assigned concealed roles as Hunters or Survivors. With no certainty of who stands on which side—and with roles capable of shifting between rounds—alliances begin to form even as doubt quietly takes root. As the tournament progresses, every interaction becomes a test of perception and every decision a calculated risk. Trust begins to erode, and the students find themselves questioning not only those around them, but their own judgment, instincts, and sense of self. In a system built upon deception and survival, the question is no longer who will win, but how far someone can be pushed before losing the very humanity they are trying to protect.
