In a world where vengeful spirits born from negative emotions known as Yurei stalk the shadows, Kyōkai follows Daiki Fushino, a regular high school boy who never planned on being anything special. He was just a regular teenager-until one night, when a single decision changed everything. Thrown into a hidden world of spirits, exorcists, and traditions, Daiki finds himself standing in place that's he forced to now call home.

Freshman Gu Yi thought university would be a new beginning: classes, friends, freedom… nothing extraordinary. But one night at the freshman welcome gathering, a single decision changed everything. Drunk and disoriented, he crosses paths with Shui Mingyun—the campus beauty from one of the city’s most prestigious families. A late-night hotel check-in, a shared room, and a single impulsive night set off a chain of events neither of them could have imagined. Weeks later, Shui Mingyun discovers she’s pregnant. Alone, she makes a choice: to carry the child—or children—without telling him, protecting him from the burden while raising them herself. Two years pass. Gu Yi, always responsible and dependable, remains unaware… until the truth comes crashing into his life. Faced with three children and the consequences of a single night, Gu Yi must step up, not only as a father but as a man worthy of the family he never knew he had. From campus chaos to sleepless nights, from fear to determination, this is a story of responsibility, sacrifice, and building a future from scratch. Will love survive the secrets, the time, and the weight of three lives?

Some love stories begin with a meeting. Others begin long before two people ever exist in the same room. Tales of Unfinished Hearts is not one romance, but intertwined love stories unfolding in the same world—quietly connected, unknowingly brushing past one another, bound by choices, timing, and the ache of what remains unsaid. Each story stands on its own, yet every love leaves an echo that shapes another. At the heart of it all is Kian, a singer whose voice carries emotions he never learned how to speak, and Geetanjali, an artist who keeps sketching a face she has never seen clearly. They do not fall in love loudly. They don’t even truly meet—at least not at first. Their connection exists in glances that never cross, songs sung into empty rooms, drawings made for someone unnamed. A love that feels imagined… until it starts feeling inevitable. Around them, other hearts unfold: lovers divided by fear, by duty, by silence; connections born too early or discovered too late; relationships that almost worked—and some that never got the chance to begin. This is a story about near-misses and quiet miracles, about people unknowingly changing each other’s lives just by existing in the same city, the same moment, the same world. About love that waits, love that breaks, love that heals, and love that refuses to disappear even when unfinished. Tender, aching, and deeply emotional, Tales of Unfinished Hearts is for those who believe that some love stories don’t end— they simply learn how to find their way back.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

They say meeting your soulmate is destiny, a beautiful collision of two worlds meant to be together. ...But why did my "fated encounter" have to be a head-on collision with Cassidy Valentine, the most hostile, entitled, and terrifying girl at Hartwell Academy? And why did it involve ruining her limited-edition blazer with cheap bodega coffee? I'm Isaiah Angelo. I run on three hours of sleep, instant caffeine, and the desperate need to secure a future for my little sister. I don't have time for drama. I definitely don't have time for romance. So, naturally, the universe decided to play a cruel joke. I didn't just make an enemy of one rich girl. I stumbled into the lives of four. The Valentine Quadruplets. Identical faces, four distinct flavors of trouble. Now, I’ve been hired as their live-in personal assistant. I’m trapped in a mansion with the four most desirable—and impossible—girls in the city. Cassidy, the "Problem Child" who has sworn to make my life a living hell. Harlow, the overly affectionate airhead who thinks snacks solve all emotional trauma. Vivienne, the ice-cold perfectionist who wants to micromanage my breathing. Sabrina, the silent observer who looks at me like I’m a puzzle she’s dying to solve. The pay is life-changing. The job is suicide. Can I keep my scholarship, raise my sister, and manage the chaos of the Valentine household without losing my mind? I have a mountain of debt, a schedule from hell, and four billionaire heiresses who suddenly seem very interested in the "scholarship boy." This isn't a job. This is a survival horror game wrapped in silk sheets. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Ecchi Situations: The Valentines have zero concept of personal space, and the "accidents" are frequent, spicy, and very visual. - Harem Romance: Four identical sisters, one tired protagonist. The competition is fierce, the tension is high, and the jealousy is real. - Competent Protagonist: Isaiah is smart, hardworking, and sharp-tongued. He isn't dense; he's just too exhausted to deal with their thirst. - Class Gap Dynamics: A gritty look at the difference between the struggling working class and the absurdly wealthy elite. - Heartwarming Family Moments: Because behind the fanservice and comedy, Isaiah is doing it all for his little sister.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

By day, Joon-ho runs a discreet, high-end massage clinic in Seoul, specializing in pain relief and body alignment. But behind the soundproof doors, his true gift lies in reading the deepest cravings of the women who walk through his door—and giving their bodies exactly what they need. From overworked executives to national celebrities, no woman leaves untouched—or unchanged. When Harin, his former campus crush turned office worker, reenters his life, one night of pleasure turns into something far more dangerous: connection, obsession, and a partnership that blurs every boundary between business, pleasure, and possession. Now, she’s not just in his bed. She’s in his clinic. His lap. His world. And she wants to watch everything.

Eli has lived his whole life in Port Virel, a small coastal town where most things stay the same year after year. The streets are familiar, the school is the same one everyone’s parents went to, and most days move at the same steady pace. It is the kind of place where nothing strange is supposed to happen. For most of his life Eli never expected it would. Over the past year, though, something about his life has started to feel slightly off. He catches himself zoning out in the middle of class and realizing minutes have passed without him noticing. Sometimes he stares at something and gets the strange feeling that the world shifted a little while he wasn’t paying attention. Not in an obvious way, just enough to leave him unsettled afterward. It is the kind of thing that is easy to brush off as stress or lack of sleep, so that is exactly what he tries to do. That explanation stops working after one morning in Port Virel forces him to accept that some things in the world don’t follow the rules he thought they did. Soon after, Eli is taken to Aurelion, the capital city, by a man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Compared to Port Virel, the city feels enormous. Glass towers rise behind older stone buildings, highways stack across the skyline, and the entire place moves with a pace Eli has never experienced before. At first it just feels like the normal difference between a quiet town and a capital city. The longer he stays there, though, the more he begins to realize that parts of the city operate under rules most people never notice. There are people in the world known as carriers. They are born with rare paired abilities called binaries, and those abilities follow their own strange logic. Most of the public has no idea carriers exist. For generations certain organizations have quietly located them, trained them, and kept their existence hidden so the rest of the world never has to deal with the consequences. Alongside carriers there are also things called shades. Even the people who study them struggle to fully explain what they are. They are tied to the same strange structure of reality that carriers interact with, and when they appear they can become extremely dangerous. Encounters with them are rare for ordinary people, mostly because the groups responsible for dealing with them work hard to make sure the public never sees what is actually happening. Eli enters this hidden system with almost no understanding of it. The people around him already know the rules and treat them like common sense. He is still trying to figure out why he was brought into it at all. The more he learns, the more it becomes clear that the world surrounding carriers and shades has been operating quietly for a long time, shaped by history most people have never heard about. Binary Reflections follows Eli as he tries to make sense of this reality while still holding on to the life he thought he understood. What begins as confusion slowly turns into something larger. A hidden system built on secrecy, dangerous abilities that few people truly understand, and a past that may be more connected to him than anyone is willing to explain.

He loved a man who never loved him back. Forced into marriage with Viran—the untouchable CEO feared by all— Smithen gave everything… only to die with regret. When he opens his eyes again, he is back—two months before that same marriage. This time, he swears— he will never fall for Viran again. But something in this life feels… wrong. As if something unseen has already found him. A presence that lingers too close. A gaze that follows him in silence. And without understanding why— that unknown existence begins to crave him. Not gently. Not patiently. But with a hunger that grows stronger each time it draws near. In fleeting moments, it feels as if something brushes against him— too close… too intimate… like a breath that doesn’t belong. Like lips that almost touch. Like a kiss that was never meant to exist. The unseen presence doesn’t stop. It lingers. Watches. Returns. Until that strange pull turns into something far more dangerous— an uncontrollable craving… as if every part of him is being desired, consumed… claimed. And soon— even his dreams are no longer his own. Because there, in the darkness, the presence comes closer— no longer distant… no longer restrained… drawn to him with an obsession it cannot suppress. Neither of them knows the truth. Neither understands what binds them. But this time— he is no longer the only one who loved too deeply. Because somewhere in the dark… the beast is already learning how to want him.

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them. Fortunately, beings from another world lent their power to humans in the form of avatars. Every human would awaken an avatar and use its power to grow stronger and fight against the beasts. Yet Auric found himself unable to awaken a single avatar. An avatar wasn’t supposed to leave the body of its partner, but his father’s avatar—the black dragon—mysteriously appeared before him, unraveling a series of secrets he had never known before. Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

The story is set in a modern world where most people live unaware of a hidden reality. Beneath normal society exists a secret system of sorcerers, mystics, and factions who have learned to manipulate energy—an invisible force that powers all living things. While ordinary humans use this energy unconsciously, a select few can control and weaponize it. John, a rational and skeptical high school graduate, is unexpectedly exposed to this hidden world after a violent and unexplained incident claims the lives of those around him. In the process, he demonstrates a rare ability—not only to perceive what others cannot, but to interact with it. His survival draws the attention of a covert government organization tasked with managing supernatural threats. As he is pulled into their world, John begins to understand that what he experienced was only the beginning. A radical faction is working toward a far greater objective: to reshape humanity by force. Their plan is to summon the King of Demons a being that cannot enter the world without first bringing forth the four ancient Kings of the Cardinal Directions. As the boundary between the hidden and the known begins to collapse, John finds himself caught in a growing conflict between control and destruction, with a role he does not yet fully understand.

“Let’s go gambling!” he said. Unaware that his decision to gamble for the first time would become the best decision of his life. The reward that would change his life arrived together with a sound— [Ding!] ......

In a world where supernatural beings exist, exorcists are responsible for keeping humanity alive… or at least for making sure things don’t spiral too far out of control. Jake works at an exorcism company where he is known for being irresponsible and causing enormous collateral damage, which makes people believe he isn’t a great exorcist. The problem is that everyone is wrong. But using all his power usually ends in even more destruction, so he prefers to solve things in clever and unorthodox ways. One day he rescues a boy who was about to be sacrificed in a ritual meant to summon an interdimensional entity. The boy survives thanks to a divine blessing… which has a rather inconvenient side effect: supernatural beings feel irresistibly drawn to him. Now Jake has to work with a partner who basically functions as an entity magnet. As they investigate strange cults and the reason innocent people were being sacrificed, the two uncover a conspiracy that threatens to unleash something known as: “The Day of the Great Banquet.” The one promoting these ideas is a man who knows Jake far too well and is certain he can defeat him. This story will not have yaoi, yuri, or NTR.
