The 9th Realm, Dirtspire, is a grave where power dictates life. Kael Ashborne defies it all. Born utterly powerless, a mere whisper of a human, his world is incinerated in a brutal "Cleansing" that claims his father and his eye. Left with only an infant brother and a thirst for vengeance, Kael finds a chilling strength: an unyielding will to survive that breaks every rule of existence. He becomes a phantom in the merciless Northern Mountains, forging a brutal legend as he hunts monsters and learns from savage Vikings, his unbreakable spirit pushing him through wounds that would kill any other. As he re-enters civilization, his silent, terrifying efficiency earns him a new name: "The Ashborn Shadow." But the price of his impossible survival is a soul forged in darkness, leading him towards a reckoning far greater than mere revenge.

Content Warning: This novel contains graphic depictions of violence, gore, and explicit erotic scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. A storm was supposed to be nothing more than an inconvenience. When Zixuan and her friends take shelter in an abandoned bus station to escape the sudden downpour, they believe they’re simply waiting for the rain to pass. But as the hours stretch on and the exits vanish, it becomes clear that this station isn’t just deserted—it’s a trap. Doors begin to appear where there were none before. Strange, cold hallways beckon. Each door they open pulls them deeper into a maze of shifting realities and forgotten memories, forcing them to confront scenes from a past they don’t remember living—haunting echoes of pain, betrayal, desire, and death. As paranoia sets in and the group begins to unravel, Zixuan realizes the truth is more horrifying than she imagined: they have been here before. This place knows them. It remembers everything they tried to forget. And someone, or something is orchestrating each cruel revelation with precision. Why were their memories taken? What really happened here? And what will be left of them once every door is opened? Let Me Out is a visceral, mind-bending descent into trauma, guilt, and twisted desire—where the past won’t stay buried, and the only way out is through the truth they were never meant to forget—but then one of them broke the rule.

It was just a trip — music, laughter, and a road slicing through the jungle. Until they found that place. A rusted sign. A single warning: “Don’t step across.” Ayaan did. Now the world isn't right. Shadows follow him. People disappear. And no one remembers except him. To fix it, he must go back. But the road he crossed isn’t waiting. It’s watching. “One Step Across” is a psychological horror about forbidden boundaries, unseen forces — and the price of stepping where you were never meant to.

Omnius — The First Truth Beyond All Before the whisper of gods, before the spark of time, before the very concept of creation, there was Omnius. The First Truth. He is the boundless wellspring of True Boundless Love and absolute power, His pervasive will a low, resonant thrum beneath the very fabric of existence. More felt than seen, He manifests as a nexus of impossible darkness to lesser perceptions, His essence transcending all concepts of shape and beyond everything else, the words "I AM THE FIRST TRUTH" woven into His very being as pure, radiant light. From this primordial force, the Infinite Omniverses—realities beyond imagining—were effortlessly spun into existence. Within these vast realms, powerful beings rise and fall, yet none can truly fathom, much less surpass, the eternal essence of Omnius.  future and past storytelling/Episodic

A surreal, psychological mystery about forgotten gods, unspoken rules, and the children trapped between them. In a secluded village bound by ancient scripture and ritual, three teenagers—Isaac, Isabelle, and Ian—spend their days delivering supplies to townsfolk under the ever-watchful eye of the church. Their lives seem quiet, warm, and structured—until the cracks begin to show. Isaac, burdened by forgotten memories and haunted dreams, begins seeing things no one else can. Isabelle, drawn toward something deep and spiritual, struggles with unspoken truths about her family and her role in the church. Ian, the group's loudest and kindest, begins unraveling beneath the weight of secrets that were never his to carry. As their routines grow stranger and the village begins to feel less like home and more like a trap, the trio finds themselves pulled into a quiet war between memory and manipulation, identity and obedience, life and ritual death. And always in the shadows, watching silently, is Gaius—the church leader whose warmth hides something far colder. As the three descend deeper into the truth behind their town’s rituals and the twisted myth of Devin’Him, they must confront what it means to love, to choose, and to remember. Because in a world like this, the greatest sin is not rebellion—it’s forgetting. RAPTURE is a slow-burn psychological fantasy with horror elements, surreal mystery, and lyrical prose. Ideal for fans of eerie villages, oppressive religion, and coming-of-age stories that unravel like dreams.

Yuuto gains a terrifying ability: Desire Sight, allowing him to see—and feel—the secret cravings of others. But every encounter feeds something darker within him. Every climax pulls him deeper into a curse he doesn't understand. And every woman he meets is both temptation and danger. To break Aika’s curse, and survive the twisted web of cursed girls, soul-draining succubi, and a seductive Queen of Midnight, Yuuto must embrace the very desires that threaten to consume him. In a city of neon lights and shadowed lips—can love exist without destruction? Or will his pleasure become his prison?

"I am Yang Jian. By the time you read this, I've already been dead..." A strange parchment, an eye that peeks into the darkness. This is the memoir of a person who survived.

Yeri never asked for a life like this. Quiet and gentle, she was just trying to survive the cruelty of Soojin — a woman who treated her like a pawn in a game of power. In a mansion full of lies, Yeri learned how to stay invisible, how to carry pain with grace. Until one night, during a lavish party, everything changed. When Yunjun — the cold, distant mafia heir — saw someone lay a hand on her, something in him snapped. What started as protection soon cracked open the walls he’d spent years building. But falling in love wasn't simple. Yunjun wasn’t just a man with secrets—he was a man at war with himself. Their fragile bond was tested at every turn: Soojin’s jealousy spiraled into violence, leaving Yeri broken and bruised in a hospital bed. Just as healing began, Yunjun’s past came crashing in, and Yeri was ripped away—kidnapped and tortured by Jack, his ruthless enemy. But Yeri wasn’t just a victim. She was a fighter. And even in the darkest moments, she held on—to hope, to love, to the belief that someone would come for her. Yunjun did. Fueled by rage, guilt, and a love he could no longer ignore, he brought Jack to his knees. But revenge couldn’t erase the scars. The real battle was learning how to be there for Yeri—not as a protector, but as a partner. Now, with blood behind them and healing ahead, Yeri and Yunjun stand not as broken people—but as two souls who chose each other in the aftermath. Their story isn’t perfect. It’s *real.*
