mystery

Voldemort is dead. In his final moments, a bright, cheerful voice echoes in his mind. Would you like to start over? Tom Riddle answers yes without hesitation. Of course he wants another chance. Whatever the price is, he will pay it, as long as he gets to do it all again. When he opens his eyes, the former Dark Lord finds himself in an orphanage in 1991. Only this time, everything is wrong. He is no longer Tom Riddle. He is a girl named Tamara Riddle. And to make it worse, she is bound to a ridiculous Virtue System. [Welcome, your account has been bound to the Virtue System!] To become stronger, she must accumulate virtue points. Tom: I am Voldemort. I can kill whoever I want. [WARNING! Strong murderous intent and malicious attack detected!] [Penalty activated: Level 1 electric shock.] With her eyes still stinging from the shock, Tom forces a gentle, harmless smile, while quietly calculating how to eliminate everyone in the room. But as the days pass, she does not kill a single person. Instead, the people around her start to like her. Then trust her. Then protect her. And when the truth finally threatens to surface, nobody believes it for a second. Harry snaps, furious: “What nonsense are you spouting? Tamara cannot possibly be connected to the Dark Lord!” Tamara only sighs, soft and tired. “Sorry, Harry. He is already the Dark Lord.”

Synopsis After transmigrating into a supernatural crossover world of anime and manga, Gin finds himself in a modern age where order is collapsing and the boundary between day and night has been rewritten—humans rule the day, while yokai dominate the night. In this dangerous new reality, he awakens a role-playing system and begins with the identity of the legendary founder of Onmyodo, Abe no Seimei. As his power grows, the entire supernatural world is thrown into chaos. Shuten-doji trembles in fear. “How can Abe no Seimei still be alive?!” The Onmyoji world is shaken to its core. “The founder of Onmyodo... has returned in the modern era?!” Hagoromo Gitsune gazes at him with motherly affection. “Seimei... my child, so you really have reincarnated...” Tamamo-no-Mae grits her teeth in hatred. “Abe no Seimei... my mortal enemy!” And as figures like Tsuchimiya Kagura, Eriri, and Shinomiya Kaguya are drawn into his orbit, Gin Tsumugi must rise in a world where monsters, curses, and ancient legends are returning one after another. In an age where darkness devours the night, can he truly become the modern Abe no Seimei—and stand above both humans and yokai?

Xian unknowingly died doing what he loved most, playing a dating sim game filled with academy life, romance, and danger. After death, he finds himself before mysterious entities who claim he had neglected his body to death. Yet instead of condemning him, they admire his obsession. As punishment, they decide to make him relive what he loved again and again until he reaches the so-called True End.

This time, Xian intends to accomplish what the game never allowed him to achieve. A perfect harem with his favorite heroines, including the untouchable villainess whose route he had searched for but never found. Granted the power of regression and armed with his knowledge of his playthroughs, Xian exploits every advantage to live this new life as he pleases. However, as the story comes to life, the more the characters he knew began to change. And the more he interferes with events, the more the world begins to move in ways even he cannot predict.

“They Can Take Your World, They Can Take Your Heart, Cut You Loose From All You Know.

Night Raven College has begun a new semester with another batch of freshmen when a new student suddenly appears to have lost their memories!

Like the night skies across the wide boundless skies and the depth of the ocean, she shall bring about a new world. In time, she will become a new light. A light of salvation for those who suffer within the blight. Light in one hand and, in the other, a keyblade, she shall strive forward to the world of cascade.

Vivia’s dream was to become the Maestro - the pinnacle of dance. But both her dream and life ended with a single arrow through her heart. She surrendered to death, only to awaken as Clairette Emberlain, the viciously murdered royal Princess of the Human Realm. As if that wasn't enough, she came face to face with the greatest archenemy of humans - a demon. Not just any demon but the Demon Crown Prince, Zerath Rudaheim himself. With Clairette's life still in danger, she was left with no choice but to seek refuge in the Demon Realm. But… Amidst centuries of hatred between humans and demons, Vivia and Zerath found themselves falling in love against all odds and enmities. A forbidden love where the only mercy they could hope for was death. Yet Zerath vowed - “I will make you my bride one day.” But unknown to them, something far more dire than their forbidden love lurked in the shadows that threatened the existence of their realms. A conspiracy that fed on this very ancient hatred to bring the world to its doom. With a love that could burn Vivia and Zerath into the depths of fiery hell, will they choose their future or will duty eventually triumph? Will their love be the salvation or a spark that would ignite another war between their worlds? Cover art: @vatarison.art

Somewhere between death and memory, she was remade. Pulled from the ashes of a failed expedition, a nameless girl wakes in a place called Solmere Bastion — an alchemical refuge built for the broken and forgotten. With no past but the relic she clutches, she is reborn as Ravine — a name given, not remembered. But the Dead Zone does not let go so easily. Whispers linger. Dreams unravel. The relic she carries is no ordinary pendant — it's a Matron’s Bloom; a sacred object passed only to those meant to carry on a bloodline... or a burden. As Ravine walks the rain-soaked halls of the Bastion, haunted by names that might have once been hers, she must uncover not just who she was — but who she is becoming. Because in this world, alchemy gives nothing for free. To live again is to owe something. And the Gate always comes to collect. Aporia is a slow-burn fantasy of identity, grief, and quiet magic — perfect for fans of lyrical prose, introspective journeys, and stories that linger long after the last page.

#Read the Prologue!!! [CONTENT WARNING: This work is intended for an adult audience (18+). Contains explicit sexual content, visceral violence and dark psychological dynamics.] MAIN TAGS: #DualCultivation #Smut #DarkFantasy #Yandere #Harem #OverpoweredProtagonist #Violence #ObsessiveRomance #WorldBuilding SYNOPSIS: In a remote village far from the conflicts of the cultivation world, Zhì Yuǎn and Yù Qíng lived simple lives. He was a quiet young man with calloused hands and an unnatural clarity — someone who seemed to understand the truth behind things without ever needing to be taught. She was his wife, a woman whose love for him was deep, fierce, and dangerously absolute. When the two of them finally awaken to Qi, they do not follow the ancient paths or bow to the heavens like others. Instead, they create their own method — a path of Dual Cultivation that binds their bodies and souls together in a way that defies the natural order. What begins as survival and growth soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because the world outside their small village does not tolerate anomalies. As their power grows, so does the attention of ancient sects, powerful clans, and ambitious cultivators who would rather see them dead than let them rise. But what they fail to understand is that the real threat has never been Zhì Yuǎn alone. It has always been the woman standing beside him — the one willing to burn the world if it means protecting what belongs to her. Zhì Yuǎn was never meant to be a hero. He never received a divine mission or a heavenly mandate. He simply chose to walk forward. And Yù Qíng chose to make sure nothing would stand in his way.

I stood in the quiet of the drawing room, fists clenched. “Adrian… you have no idea what you’ve done. You walk back into my life after all these years, and everything I planned—my independence, my future—it’s on the line because of you.” He took a slow step toward me, his expression unreadable. “Evelyn… I didn’t come back to disrupt your life. I came back because I couldn’t stay away. Because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. “You couldn’t stay away? You were promised to her—Miranda. To my sister. And yet here you are, acting like the world revolves around your feelings, ignoring mine.” “I never ignored you,” he said quietly, his eyes searching mine. “I just… I couldn’t control it. Even then, even as a boy, I wanted to protect you. And I still do.” “Protect me?” I echoed, my voice rising. “Do you know what protection cost me? Years of being overlooked, underestimated, treated like I didn’t exist? I worked my whole life to plan my escape, to make something of myself on my own terms—and now you’re here, threatening it all.” He hesitated, then stepped closer, his voice low but earnest. “I don’t care about promises, Evelyn. I’ve always cared about you. And I’ll do whatever it takes… even if it means standing against my own family.” I shook my head, forcing back the anger and the heat that flared within me. “I don’t need your promises, Adrian. I don’t need your protection. I need my life. I need my freedom. And I refuse to let anyone, not even you, dictate it for me.” His jaw tightened, and for the first time, I saw uncertainty flicker in his eyes. “Evelyn…” “This isn’t about what you want,” I said firmly, stepping back and holding his gaze. “This is about me. About my future. And I’ve made my choice. You will have to respect it—or step aside.” A tense silence fell between us, heavy with unspoken words. And for the first time, Adrian Cross realized that I was no longer a girl to be protected. I was a woman who would fight for herself—at any cost. Evelyn Hart had spent her entire life overlooked, living in the shadow of her brilliant sister and a family that never truly believed in her. At eighteen, she planned to leave it all behind and chase her dream of becoming a model — independent, unrestrained, and in control of her own future. But fate had other plans. Adrian Cross returned — the man once promised to her sister, the boy who had silently protected her all those years, and the man she could never afford to rely on. His presence threatened everything she had carefully built, stirring emotions she had long worked to suppress. Caught between family expectations, past promises, and a dangerous attraction, Evelyn must make the ultimate choice: surrender to the life everyone expects of her… or claim her independence, no matter the cost. In a world where endurance meets courage, she will discover that true power lies not in being loved, but in standing alone.

A beam of light, transcending the barriers of countless universes, projected onto the countless worlds, becoming a spectacle for the natives of each world! When Jingliu finely diced Blade into minced meat, the Demon Slayer Corps were shocked! 'What kind of breathing technique is that? Ice Breathing?'

'She's also named Mei? She also has lightning attributes? And... why does her voice sound exactly like mine?' This is bad!

It’s afraid. And somehow… it’s afraid of him.

A thousand deaths is many, but is it truly? Millions die in war, tens of thousands from a simple fall, and hundreds from various unexplained causes. But think about the way a single death feels, a parent lost? a child? What about those taken from you by another, or unnaturally? The story behind a death can be heart breaking. I aim only to tell the stories, nothing more, nothing less. note: this was made years ago, and many of the contents were written even before that. After Chapter 9 it will all be recent and high quality, though, so it is perfectly acceptable to just skip to there. I have a pretty positive view of the 'Hunger' story, too.

[Warning: Mature content | Dark romance] Aliana Vanderbilt is the witty, fierce heiress to a multi-billion-dollar empire. She always lived life on her own terms, until one fateful night changed everything. After a brutal accident involving a "lost child" that only she could see, Aliana woke to a terrifying new reality. By day, she is haunted by restless spirits. By night, she is consumed by vivid, steamy dreams of a mysterious man with icy blue eyes. Her search for a solution comes to an abrupt halt when she finally comes face-to-face with Gavriel Valentine. An enigmatic man sitting at the pinnacle of a rival business empire. He is dominating, dangerous, and everything Aliana should avoid. Yet, he alone possesses the power to end her misery. Whenever she is near him, the ghosts vanish. Driven by a desperate need for peace, Aliana bulldozes into Gavriel’s life with a scandalous demand. However, what she does not expect is his counter-offer… that she must marry him. What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.
