Claire Allen is obsessed with the supernatural, driven by one desperate goal: to solve the mystery of her father’s death, which she believes was caused by a vengeful spirit. By day, Claire is a regular high school senior. By night, she and her friends, Lily and Stephnie (the medium), run Ghost Mentors—an online channel dedicated to helping lost spirits find peace and cross into the afterlife. Their work is a sacred mission. But their mission shatters when they investigate an abandoned New York house haunted by a cruel, dark witch. The encounter goes horribly wrong. A witch's curse rips Claire's spirit from her body, plunging her into a coma. Now invisible to the world, Claire is only seen by Michael, a dangerously handsome Demon Slayer from Hell, sent by Lucifer himself. Michael believes all ghosts are monsters that must be eliminated. Claire believes they deserve peace. She fights for the lost souls; he hunts them. Yet, when the only person who can see you is the one you despise the most, survival depends on a tense, forbidden alliance that blurs the line between enemies and lovers. A terrifying countdown begins: Thirteen powerful vengeful spirits have started a ritual to tear open the gates of Hell and unleash chaos upon Earth. With only 5 hours left to stop the apocalypse, Claire must do the unimaginable: Journey into the Underworld alone and ring the ancient emergency bell to summon the Devil back to his throne. As battles rage across two worlds, the true darkness unfolds: a powerful jealous friend (Lily) turns to black magic, a hidden bloodline is exposed, and a deadly betrayal threatens to hand Earth over to the demons. The Ghost Mentors: The Cursed Awakening A dark, high-stakes Urban Fantasy Romance where a high school girl must summon the Devil to save the world, only to fall for the demon hunter sent to stop her. Perfect for fans of powerful heroines, demonic anti-heroes, intense enemies-to-lovers arcs, and powerful heroines.

Princess Shen Yuelai's world shatters when her beloved brother is murdered on his coronation day—and she's framed for the crime by the man she trusted most: her fiancé. Drugged, betrayed, and forced to watch her family's execution, Yuelai escapes to the rival Luo Empire with nothing but a pendant and a burning desire for revenge. But survival in enemy territory demands more than skill with a sword—it requires becoming someone new.

Clara, a 20-year-old nanny, finds herself caught in a tale of passion, betrayal, and mystery when she embarks on a dangerous affair with both parents of the children in her care: the enigmatic mother, a seductive and calculating woman, and the attractive father, whose charm conceals dark secrets. As Clara delves deeper into this perilous relationship, she realizes that it is not just a game of passion, but that she is being manipulated by both, trapped in a web of desires, lies, and obsession. But when strange signs begin to raise her suspicions—furtive glances, anonymous messages, and a growing sense of being watched—Clara discovers that someone else is controlling her life from the shadows. Caught between imminent danger and seduction, she must decide whether to trust her instincts or succumb to the control of those around her. Is she truly in love, or is she merely a puppet in a deadly game?

Have you ever loved someone enough to let them ruin you? Hatred turns intimate. Violence turns protective. Control turns possessive. Lines blur until neither knows where revenge ends and devotion begins. This is not a love story. It’s a descent. A dark romance of power, cruelty, obsession, and the kind of attachment that doesn’t ask to be healthy—only eternal.

Raw: 漫威里的假面骑士编年史 Author: 玄心墨谷 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Through the rift of space, Dan Kuroto gazed down at the battlefield below—where the Kamen Riders he created clashed fiercely against the army of Thanos, the invader threatening Earth. “It appears this cosmic tyrant is about to lose,” remarked his assistant, Izu, standing calmly at his side. Dan Kuroto’s lips curved into a mysterious smile, his tone filled with hidden meaning. “Thanos does possess unwavering conviction and resolve… but wiping out half of life at random? How boring.” “Are you planning to save that purple–potato–chin?” The woman identical to Izu in appearance, Azu, asked as she flicked the red-tipped ends of her long hair. Dan shook his head lightly, still smiling. “No need for either of you to intervene. I have already made arrangements.” Then he extended his hands as if holding the world itself between his palms, declaring boldly: “What awaits is another exhilarating Rider game. There is only one path— For I… am the One.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The world teaches one rule early: only the living are allowed to decide what is right—and they decide it with blood. When he awakens beneath a sky choked with ash and rotting light, he does not ask why he was brought here. He listens instead—to the screams that never stop, to the prayers that go unanswered, to the quiet way the weak vanish. Gods demand worship yet bleed when cut. Churches preach salvation while sealing cities shut and burning them clean to preserve their truth. Power is not inherited or earned. It is taken from those who cannot hold it. He is not special. He is not chosen. He is simply willing to do what others hesitate to imagine. To survive, he learns to hollow himself out—wearing morality as bait, loyalty as a trap, and fate as something that can be strangled. Each step forward leaves something behind: names erased, faces forgotten, promises broken so thoroughly they never existed.And with every sacrifice, the truth becomes harder to escape— This world does not reward goodness. It consumes it. If ascension demands that he become the thing children are warned about, the monster history pretends never existed, then he will accept the role without apology. Because in the end, the world does not fear evil. It fears those who endure.

Beowulf is not a hero. He is a three-meter-tall monument to violence, a biological weapon crafted by the All-Father. For centuries, he has been Odin’s Hound, wandering the fringes of Midgard to "clean up" the divine mistakes of Asgard.

He claims to be a mirror—another discarded tool of the Gods who refused to be broken. ​As the marshes of Denmark turn into a slaughterhouse, Grendel whispers a poison into Beowulf’s ear: "Odin doesn't fear the monsters, Beowulf. He fears the day you realize you don't need a Master." ​Faced with a choice between his divine duty and a horrifying new freedom, the Hound must decide: Will he kill the only creature who understands him? Or will he turn his wrath toward the Golden Halls of Asgard?

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."
