Harry never believed in love the way stories described it. To him, love was a cage—beautiful from a distance, suffocating from within. Trapped in a toxic relationship with Avni, he learns to survive affection that feels more like control than comfort. But everything begins to change the day he collides with Anna—a girl who doesn’t try to impress him, doesn’t try to own him… but somehow understands him. Through books, silence, and unspoken thoughts, she reads him in ways no one ever has. Just when Harry begins to question everything he thought he knew about love, a new fear enters his life. Avni claims she’s being stalked. At first, it feels like paranoia. Then coincidence. Then something far more dangerous. Because the deeper Harry looks into it, the more he realizes—this isn’t about Avni. It’s about him. Someone is watching. Someone is waiting. And someone is willing to destroy everything just to be close to him. In a world where love turns into obsession, truth hides behind performance, and people wear emotions like masks, Harry must uncover one terrifying question— Is he protecting someone from a stalker… or walking straight into the arms of one?

A blindfolded woman. A captor who speaks calmly to the camera. And a video the whole world can’t stop watching. Late one night, a disturbing clip goes viral—showing a young woman tied up, her captor’s voice echoing in the dark. While the internet debates whether it’s real, her boyfriend reports her missing. The victim is Mitra, a software engineer and small-time social activist… and the key witness in an unresolved kidnapping from two weeks earlier. Trapped and threatened, Mitra refuses to break. Instead, she engages her captor—who calls himself Sashi—in a dangerous psychological battle of truth and lies, probing into his secrets as he digs into hers. As Vishal races against time to find her, Sashi releases more videos to the public. Each one is a twisted interrogation. Each one paints Mitra not as a simple victim—but as a guilty person with a hidden past. The clues lead back twelve years, to a quiet town, a brutal murder, and a past neither Mitra nor Vishal ever escaped. This is not just the story of a kidnapping. It is the unraveling of a chain of murders spanning more than a decade—and an obsession that was waiting to be exposed. When the truth finally surfaces, who will be left standing?

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that… the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and we have got a long, exciting night ahead of us!" Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political constraints. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

Enor. A world of ceaseless rain, where steam rises from the land in a slow exhalation, as if the planet itself breathes in torment. The dark heavens weep, the ground smolders, and amid it all, a boy sells himself to chains. Merrin Ashman walks into slavery—not for survival, nor profit, but out of fear. Out of shame. His hands are stained with his brother’s blood, and the weight of that sin crushes him. He does not weep. He does not rage. He is too much a coward to take his own life, yet too hollow to live without purpose. He does not seek redemption. Not yet. But he yearns for something—some task, some meaning, some distant thing to justify the ruin he has wrought. And fate, ever cruel, answers. By chance or divine will, he snaps at the cruciform. In that shattering, something awakens. A power, terrible and vast. He becomes a caster, one who moves the symbols. And with it, revelation: a destiny sought through time. El’Shadie. The title lingers like a question. A savior or a scourge? A harbinger of ruin or the world’s last hope? He does not know. But the path is before him. A path through a world of shadowed faiths, churches and warring clans, of casters wielding forces beyond reckoning, of monstrous fallen things clawing from skies. And this time, the El’Shadie must choose what he will be. join my discord for more information on Hearthsoul Chronicles related things like the wiki, maps, character art, etc https://discord.gg/xy7KuN7R6F

A socially depressed game developer dies unexpectedly and reincarnates inside his own unfinished game. Sword Evolution Online. With the entire original plot etched into his memory, he initially believes he has obtained the ultimate cheat. Knowledge of the future. Knowledge of every event. Knowledge of every hidden treasure. But reality shatters that illusion. The world is no longer called Gloria. It is now known as Avalon. The timeline has shifted. The apocalypse has already occurred.

A weapon that defies logic, morality, and balance itself. A sword that grows stronger not through slaughter alone, but through bonds. By building a harem. Each new connection grants him power. Each conquered heart strengthens both blade and wielder. What should have been a joke mechanic in a half-finished game becomes the most terrifying cheat in this broken world. With absolute strength and true freedom as his goal, Adonis steps onto the stage of Avalon, determined to rewrite fate itself. To rise above gods, empires, and destiny.

Falcon has always been the perfect weapon of the Montgomery family — deadly, precise, and admired by the dying patriarch who sees in him the last hope of the empire. Now, on what might be his final mission, Falcon is tasked with bringing the head of Lucien Wexler — the one man who dared steal from the Montgomerys and escape unpunished. A mission that should be simple, if not for one impossible complication: the woman he has fallen for is Lucien’s daughter. Every step Falcon takes is a tightrope over fire. Betrayal lurks in every corner. Secrets he never imagined collide with the violence he was trained to wield. Meanwhile, chaos erupts at the Montgomery estate: a traitor has struck, the patriarch is dead, and the empire begins to crumble. The family that built a kingdom on fear and loyalty now has no one to hold it together — except Falcon. As alliances fracture and enemies rise, Falcon must navigate a world where love and duty are deadly opposites, where one wrong move can ignite a war, and where the only way to survive is to reshape the world itself.

Title: Beauty Chained to the Beast In the brutal shadows of the criminal underworld, monsters are not born—they are made. Joon-hyuk, the heir to a vast and merciless empire, was raised to inherit power, not humanity. His father—an untouchable king of the underworld—built a dark empire so powerful it blurred the line between crime and legitimacy. From childhood, Joon-hyuk was molded into his successor, trained to rule without mercy. At first, he resisted. But the moment he realized the unsettling calm that came with bloodshed, something inside him changed. He became something even more dangerous than his father ever intended—a man feared as The Beast. Then he meets Yeo-jun. Soft, kind, and painfully fragile, Yeo-jun is everything Joon-hyuk is not. Once the son of a powerful politician, his life was shattered after the tragic loss of his mother and years of emotional neglect. But nothing compares to the night that destroyed him completely—when he was abducted, tortured, and left broken for a crime he never committed. Since then, Yeo-jun has lived in silence, consumed by fear, his emotions buried beneath deep trauma. When Joon-hyuk sees him for the first time, he doesn’t just see weakness—he sees something familiar. Something deeply connected to his own buried past. What begins as curiosity soon turns into obsession… and then into something far more dangerous: the need to protect, to possess, and ultimately, to heal. As their worlds intertwine, long-buried secrets begin to surface. Lives that once seemed separate reveal hidden connections, tying past and present together in unexpected ways. Alongside them, two other stories unfold: Min-jae, Joon-hyuk’s most trusted ally, carries the trauma of witnessing his parents’ brutal murder as a child—at the hands of the very empire he now serves. His path crosses with a village boy who arrives in the city chasing dreams, only to be trapped in a cruel system of exploitation. Together, they fight their pasts, finding strength, healing, and love in each other. Meanwhile, a younger brother—once rejected at birth—grows up craving warmth and a sense of belonging. His life begins to change when he meets a disciplined yet compassionate military officer assigned to him. What starts with conflict and resistance slowly turns into trust, companionship, and an unexpected love neither of them was prepared for. In a world shaped by pain, loss, and struggle, each character carries the weight of deep, unhealing scars. Yet, as their stories unfold, they gradually discover a light they never believed in—hope and a chance for a new beginning. Sometimes, even the darkest paths lead to a new turning point. Sometimes, the pain that once seemed unbearable softens in the face of love and understanding. And perhaps… what once seemed destined to destroy them becomes the very reason to live.

It was never supposed to happen. On a cold night just after New Year’s, a group of friends killing time at a Nashville mall makes a stupid decision, one that feels harmless in the moment. A trail in the woods. Five minutes. Nothing more. Then they hear a scream. What they find beneath the cliff isn’t a person, and it isn’t an accident. It’s a cave that shouldn’t exist, glowing with a pale, unnatural light.. and something inside that is listening. After that night, nothing is the same. The voice follows them. Not always loud. Not always clear. Sometimes it sounds like someone they love. Sometimes it sounds like themselves. And when they listen for too long, something else comes with it—something that walks the woods after dark, unfinished and patient, never rushing, never seen by the wrong people. The Gang of friends weren’t chosen. They weren’t special. They didn’t unlock a prophecy or inherit a curse. They made a mistake. As fear fractures their friendships and silence becomes unbearable, the group is forced to confront an impossible truth: the thing beneath the trail is older than the city above it, and it doesn’t need to chase them to ruin their lives. It only needs to be heard. Set in modern-day Nashville, What Listens Beneath is a slow-burn supernatural horror about ordinary teenagers thrown into something ancient and unforgiving—where survival isn’t about strength or courage, but about knowing when not to listen. Because once something hears you… it never forgets.

A young man living his last day over and over again. A homeless woman who dances and will dance for eternity. Two enemies locked in a never-ending battle. A charismatic, strong, brave, and determined leader who is not willing to lose. They all have something in common: they end up at the Seventh Day Restaurant to enjoy a wonderful experience.

"In the womb, there was only room for one. He tried to eat me to become a God. He failed. Now, the world is my consolation prize." The Heian Era remembers Ryomen Sukuna as the King Of Curses, the four-armed catastrophe that leveled civilizations. But history is written by the survivors, and it conveniently forgot the twin who crawled out of the shadows of the womb, the one Sukuna couldn't finish. While Sukuna became the King of Curses through Cleave and Dismantle, his brother became something far more primal and terrifying: The Devourer. Possessing the Curse Technique: Apex Gluttony: Eternal Feast, he doesn’t just kill sorcerers, he consumes them whole. Their cursed energy is his wine, their unique techniques are his meat. He steals them, perfects them, and elevates them into something far more monstrous. To him, the Golden Age of Sorcery wasn’t a battlefield, it was a buffet. Now, in the modern era, the Second Calamity has awakened. Unsealed by forbidden blood in a Tokyo morgue, Ryomen Taotie rises with twenty Devourer’s Fangs scattered across the world, cursed objects far hungrier than his brother’s twenty fingers. He has only one true goal: collect every last Fang to reclaim his complete form, then force Sukuna to fully rebirth outside the pink-haired boy’s body in Tokyo. Only then will he drag his brother into the open and devour him completely, ending the farce of the so-called King of Curses. He has no interest in Sukuna’s finger hunt or the petty ideals of Jujutsu High. To the brother of the King, Gojo Satoru isn’t a threat, Yuji Itadori isn’t family, and the cursed spirits aren’t allies. They are simply the next course.

I never wished to be one of the Dead. Being one of the Dead isn’t what normal people normally pray for. But that's the problem, I'm not normal. Although, in this context, being Dead doesn’t truly mean you are dead. At least, not entirely. It is a state between life and death. Where your soul lingers, your humanity fades, and something else begins to take its place. And yet… I chose it. No. I was chosen. And now, having accepted this existence, it has become my deepest need to become the most evolved of the Dead. Once, I was nothing more than an orphan, just another forgotten boy surviving in the slums, living inside a rusting, converted bus my uncle once used to cook drugs. I fought to survive, 'cause aside from my not so caring uncle, I had no one. Well, not until Death found me. That was when everything changed. Death exposed me to the true reality hidden beneath the illusion of what I once believed the world to be. I saw monstrous things; demons, fallen warriors, and necromantic beings raised through forbidden magic. Souls dragged back from death and forced into existence once more, but in monstrous forms. I saw creatures; evils and beasts that threatened to devour our entire sphere. Then, I also learned the truth. Earth is not the only sphere that exists. There are countless others, each inhabited by different species and creatures. There is the Elven Sphere; the world of the elves. The Orcanian Sphere, home of the orcs; green-skinned beings shaped like humans, yet far from them. And the Dwarken Spheres; the domain of the dwarves. And then… there is the Forbidden Sphere. The sphere of monstrosities. A realm where demons, abominations, and horrors beyond imagination are born. It is from this sphere that the horrors come. These spheres do not exist in isolation. They connect and at times overlap. They bleed into one another… and into ours. Yes… bleed. It is not many times that you will just suddenly wake up and find out that the friend beside you all this while has been an elf or an orc that entered to explore your world, but was hidden from you all this while because you lacked the sight to see through nature. When I was found by death, that was when I learned all this, when I learned who I was, the power within me, my truth, and my destiny. And now, I must navigate through all these worlds and fight all these monsters and demons in order to keep our sphere and other spheres safe. Because if I don't... Our sphere, and every other will fall.
