In a world where dreams shape power, those known as Somniarchs manifest reality-warping concepts born from their sleep, visions fueled by desire, fear, and trauma. When a quiet high school student named Rei triggers a catastrophic anomaly without even knowing how, the world takes notice. Branded an unregistered threat, Rei is taken by a secret government division that monitors Somniarch activity. But Rei is different. Unlike others who draw power from dreams, he cannot sleep without reliving a nightmare, one where his sister nearly drowned, his parents died, and a nameless demon first whispered to him. That demon never left. As Rei is pushed toward his limits in a world that classifies people by danger level, he faces a truth far worse than imprisonment: his power does not come from dreams… but from something awake. When survival demands a choice, Rei is offered a pact known as The Covenant, a bond that grants terrifying power at the cost of his mind, his autonomy, and eventually his humanity. Because in this world, dreams don’t save you. They consume you. And some nightmares are never meant to end.

Lin Feng read the novel for nine years. He hated it. He argued with it. He even left hundreds of comments no one answered. He knew every major plot turn and every character the story decided was expendable. He also knew how it ended for him. When Lin Feng wakes up transmigrated into that same novel as a minor villain, he remembers exactly what the plot demands. In eight years, he is supposed to die. Not alone. The people who stood by him are meant to follow soon after. One leaves a suicide note. Another writes that she doesn’t want to live a second longer without him. Their deaths are treated as acceptable losses so the real protagonist can move forward. The protagonist has a system. The world bends to protect him. Everything else exists to be used and discarded. Lin Feng has no system. What he has is memory, resentment, and a clear understanding of how those deaths are supposed to happen. He decides they are unacceptable. By avoiding the spotlight, interfering early, and changing events long before they reach the point of no return, Lin Feng turns himself into a variable the story was never built to handle. Every deviation carries risk. Every choice he makes draws attention. But if the narrative demands that everyone who cared about him dies quietly to preserve a hero’s rise, then the narrative itself is the problem. A transmigration story about survival, shared fate, and refusing to accept an ending where love is treated as collateral damage.

At an elite high school where hierarchy is enforced with fists instead of rules, Ha Joon-seok chooses silence. Physically weaker, socially invisible, and seated where only the strongest belong, he survives through patience, observation, and emotional discipline. Losses pile up. Bruises linger. Reputation spreads—quietly. As he adapts, trains in secret, and earns loyalty without asking for it, the balance of the school begins to shift. Girls notice his restraint before his strength. Enemies sense something unsettling long before he strikes. Real power isn’t domination. It’s the calm that makes others hesitate.

[ WARNING: R18 MATURE CONTENT] I was a fool Forty-five years old. Senior accountant. Seventeen years of marriage. Two children I thought were mine. Then, in one night, everything broke. I was fired by my greedy boss. I returned home early… and found my wife in bed with my childhood best friend, Zack. The truth followed like knives. The children weren’t mine. She had been cheating for fifteen years. Every asset — every savings, every property — had already been transferred into her name. When I fought back, they killed me. I thought it was the end.

"It is not just a love story — it is a journey of intimacy, vulnerability, and soul-deep connection. Across fifteen tender parts, two lovers explore the language of closeness — where every glance ...

Long ago, the world was shaped by a throne that no mortal should have touched. Forged by gods and bound with time itself, the Eternal Throne granted its ruler impossible power—strength beyond limits, command over fate, and the right to rewrite history. But the throne demanded obedience, not balance. When the last king refused to kneel, the throne shattered, tearing the world apart. The gods disappeared. The empire collapsed. And the truth was buried beneath centuries of lies. The throne was forgotten. But its legacy endured. In the present age, the world is divided among fragile kingdoms, secret orders, and ancient ruins filled with forbidden technology. Beneath the illusion of peace, the remnants of the throne begin to awaken—ruins glow, time fractures, and powers long sealed start to return. Kael, a warrior raised by a hidden brotherhood that operates from the shadows, is sent on a mission to recover an ancient relic. What should have been a simple infiltration turns into the awakening of the Broken Throne itself. Marked by its power and bound to a living blade of divine fire, Kael gains abilities no human should possess—enhanced speed, shadow-walking, and the power to bend moments of time. With the throne awakening, Kael becomes the target of every major faction: The Veiled Creed, who believe the throne must remain sealed forever The Crowned Lords, kings who seek to ascend beyond mortality The Keepers of Time, who manipulate history from the shadows And the Fallen Gods, who whisper from ancient ruins, promising salvation… or ruin Each step of Kael’s journey is a mission—raiding lost temples, climbing fallen cities, fighting corrupted champions, uncovering secrets hidden from history. With every victory, his power grows, but so does the throne’s influence. As the path to the throne opens, Kael must choose: destroy the legacy and free the world from the cycle of gods and kings, or claim the throne and become something more than human. Because the Broken Throne is not just waiting for a ruler. It is waiting for someone strong enough to survive it. Genre: Epic Fantasy | Action Adventure | Game-Inspired Fiction Core Experience A story that reads like a game—missions, powers, boss fights, and choices—where every chapter feels like a level and every arc brings Kael closer to the throne.
