betrayal

Anning is an ordinary girl, living quietly in her own world (which means an introvert), but who would've thought that her peacefulness will not last longer than expected. Anning didn't know what awaited her, but she did know one thing - 'She' won't leave her side, and is her only exception - Baizhi, a soft girl with an even softer temperament. Just the name of that person was enough to turn her head. But are the things really going to be like that when she will got to know that Anning gained an unrequited love from someone else too - Sizi, a sharp beauty pretending to be a blunt one. Was it really an unrequited, unwanted love, or something deeper? In the new world, she not only has to reach her only unwanted goal, but also has to bear the most painful feeling of the world too - betrayal. Not only she but the person closest to her had to also feel the misery and partake in every adventure even if she don't want to. The betrayal given by someone this much close to her is so much painful that she found the gift of death much more appetizing, specially when the one she hated and had hurt her in the most possible way was her only amendment, but heavens didn't let her do that too. She can't because of the shackles. Because someone wouldn't let her. Yes, if there was someone who wouldn't let her live then there was also someone who will make her live even on their ashes. Will Anning be okay, if she got to know that the person whom she despised, was the person actually fated for her, the one who accompanied her in every tryst of her life, including death itself ? Things are not the same as it looks on the surface. So many people wearing different facades, having the most insidious secrets. The slowburn was really infectious. This side, Anning was fighting with her own feelings, and on the other, two professors were also shackled by their own reasons. Professor Lin (Lin Huang) and professor Qing (Qing Lan), have their own dynamics. The love between them is not so easy, because the unspeakable secrets were screaming in their heads, trying to tell them that they don't belong to each other. But making two persons who shares same souls part each other really that easy? Are really Anning and Baizhi fated for each other? Or there is some secret Baizhi is hiding? And what about Sizi, whom even if Anning doesn't wants to, finds an unexplainable comfort with? Definitely not the friendship type of comfort, but something deeper and more darker. Like some past life connection? Would it really be a happy ending ? To know more let's dig into the queersome story, and find out what's the real truth. Because the things are not really like they are.

Adeline Brown thought marrying Dwayne Davis meant leaving the pain of her past behind and building a future founded on love and trust. But their happily-ever-after is shattered when a notorious serial killer begins targeting people connected to Dwayne's past, leaving behind a chilling message at every crime scene: “To my dearest Dee, Until the Truth Do Us Part.” As the investigation intensifies, Dwayne is forced to confront a long-buried secret he has spent years trying to outrun. With every new victim, old lies unravel, dangerous truths surface, and the walls around their marriage begin to crumble. Caught between a relentless killer, a haunting past, and a love tested by deception, Adeline must decide how far she’s willing to go for the man she vowed to stand beside. Because sometimes, the greatest threat to a marriage isn’t death… It’s the truth.

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

The old rowhouse wasn’t supposed to remember. After a violent robbery, four criminals hide blood money beneath rotting floorboards, believing the house will keep their secret buried forever. But paranoia spreads faster than fear, and as guilt, betrayal, and suspicion begin to crack the crew from within, Detective Rowan Keene closes in from the outside. In a house where every step echoes and every lie leaves a scar, the truth refuses to stay buried. Some secrets rot. Others fight their way back to the surface.

On a storm-soaked night, seventeen-year-old Haruto Shikigami loses everything. His parents are slaughtered before his eyes by a devil born from humanity's fears. Yet when death stands before him, Haruto feels something strange—not fear, not anger, not grief. Nothing. That night changes when he becomes the vessel of the legendary Crimson Devil, a calamity responsible for one of history's bloodiest tragedies. Branded a threat to humanity and hunted by powerful factions, Haruto is taken to the Tokyo Institution of Exorcists, where humans form dangerous covenants with devils to fight back against the darkness. Surrounded by prodigies, monsters, and broken souls, Haruto struggles to control the power sleeping inside him. Alongside his teammates—Shimi Horimiya, a girl haunted by a tragic past and the scars of the Blast Devil, and Yamado Kahanru, an arrogant genius who trusts no one—he is thrust into a world of deadly missions, political conspiracies, and ancient secrets. Guiding them is Adryn, an unpredictable exorcist who possesses multiple devil covenants and hides far more than he reveals. As forgotten massacres resurface, powerful organizations move in the shadows, and the truth behind the Crimson Devil begins to emerge, Haruto discovers a terrifying reality: The greatest devils are not always born from fear. Sometimes they are born from humanity itself. In a world where every covenant demands a price, friendships are tested, families are torn apart, and survival often means sacrificing a part of yourself. The question is not whether Haruto can save the world. It's whether he can save himself before the Crimson Devil consumes him completely.

A short story off tragic love

In a vast, emotionless void, a soul lamenting its past life is forcibly bound to a "dog system" and cast into the cycle of reincarnation. Armed with the Full Memory Palace, a purple-tier talent allowing for perfect recall and mental organization, the protagonist begins his journey not as a hero, but as Mu Zhong, a neglected child in a cold, high-society family. His first life is a "Hell Start." Born to a servant mother who dies of grief and a father who refuses to acknowledge him, Mu Zhong survives by playing the fool. He masks his genius by devouring library books at lightning speed, building a mental fortress of knowledge while navigating a household of sinister siblings and political schemes. His path takes a sharp turn when he is forced into a political engagement with Xiao Wan’er, a sickly young girl discarded by her own family as a bargaining chip. What begins as a marriage of convenience transforms into a decade-long struggle against fate. Mu Zhong becomes Wan’er’s sole protector, cooking her meals, teaching her stories of self-reliance, and secretly hacking medical databases to find a cure for her terminal brain cancer. As the years pass, the "Monster of Rationality" finds his cold logic crumbling under the weight of genuine affection. However, in a world where "good people die early," the reality of her condition and the cruelty of the Xiao family force him into a heartbreaking farewell. But for a host of the System, death is only the beginning. From surviving a zombie-infested apocalypse to reaching the "Realm of Gods" in high-fantasy worlds like Konosuba, Mu Zhong carries the scars and skills of every life forward. Whether he is a master hacker, an Anti-Nation class swordsman, or a cynical traveler, he remains a man walking a path of danger, seeking to transcend the "Bubble" and challenge the unknown voices overseeing his existence.

“I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar. Against all odds he had survived; he had not been reincarnated. Nor transmigrated into another body. He remembers everything; that much remains clear. He is still himself. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar haze of mist-like substance, and his body is covered in torn rags. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head—a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge. After all, he has not forgotten.  *** What to Expect •  Slow-burn •  Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy •  An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit •  Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty •  A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another •  Mystery-driven worldbuilding •  Character-focused progression •  Subtle romance  •  AI opening chapter illustrations  *** Schedule: 5 chapters on Tuesday  5 chapters on Saturday  *** Patreon Daily release schedule   *** Join my Discord! https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight
