Vincenzo Moretti—the ruthless, dangerously magnetic heir to the Moretti empire, a man feared as the Devil’s Son. Bound by a forced marriage and surrounded by blood, betrayal, and whispered threats, Elena becomes both Vincenzo’s possession and his greatest vulnerability. She despises the cage he’s locked her in… yet every heated glance, every possessive touch, every night of raw, consuming passion chips away at her resistance. As rival families circle and a deadly conspiracy unfolds within the Moretti ranks, Elena discovers secrets that could destroy everything: her husband may be the monster who ordered her father’s death—or the only man powerful enough to keep her alive. Trust is a luxury neither can afford. Love is a weapon they never expected to wield. In a world ruled by loyalty, vengeance, and desire, Elena and Vincenzo must decide whether they will burn the empire down together… or let it consume them both.

Humans believed the world was normal for many years, until a transmigrator appeared. Revealing magic to people. For humans to gain powers they have to be connected to a continent, or else they'd mutate. Finn who had lived in an orphanage most of his life was alone. Until he found the eighth continent.

Shoko Kaoji follows a nineteen-year-old young man who rejects the very idea of human connection, viewing love, empathy, and grief as parasitic illusions imposed by society. Bitter, detached, and openly hostile, Shoko exists in emotional isolation, convinced that bonds only weaken those who cling to them. When his parents die in a sudden car accident, his lack of grief draws the attention of authorities—and something far less rational. Amid rain-soaked streets, interrogations, and an unsettling moment where death itself seems to linger, Shoko is forced into confrontation not with loss, but with the uncomfortable question of whether his emptiness is genuine indifference or a defense against something deeper. Blending psychological introspection with subtle supernatural tension, Shoko Kaoji explores isolation, denial, and the fragile boundary between emotional numbness and buried humanity.

After reaching the peak of cultivation, Sai is reborn and abandons his pursuit of absolute power to walk the Dao of Teaching instead. In a declining sect, he accepts disciples from unlikely paths and guides them not through brute strength, but through understanding—of the Dao, of themselves, and of the cruel world they now belong to. But fate does not change quietly. Assassinations, hidden schemes, and forces moving from the shadows begin to tighten around the Four-Leaf Clover Sect. Each disciple is pushed toward choices that will scar their bodies, fracture their identities, and shape their destinies forever. In this world, survival is not decided by talent alone, but by how much one is willing to lose to keep moving forward. This is a story about balance and corruption, loyalty and manipulation, and the price of walking against the current of Heaven. This is an original work.

The greatest lie is the one you tell yourself. Kang Moo-hyuk was a genius scammer, a man of a thousand faces. But his final act didn't end with applause, it ended with death. When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in hell. He was in Aetheria, a fog covered capital of steam engines, eldritch horrors, and silent gods. But he didn't wake up in a warm bed. He woke up slumped over a mahogany desk with a cold dagger buried five inches into his spine. He has transmigrated into the body of Arthur Ravencroft, the world's most famous consulting detective. The problem? Arthur was just murdered. And the killer is still in the building. With a knife in his back and police banging on the door, Moo-hyuk awakens a strange power: [The Authority of Lies]. It has one simple rule: If you can make the world believe your lie, it becomes the truth. To survive, he must act. He must become the Detective who solves impossible crimes. He must become the Crime Lord who rules the shadows. He must become the Prophet who deceives the Gods. "They say the truth will set you free? I say a well crafted lie rules the world."
