Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas is a sci-fi comedy action-adventure mystery thriller that begins with a terrible... but groundbreaking... mistake. Dr. Milo Finch, a brilliant, anxious young scientist with more intelligence than common sense, successfully invents a time machine. During what is supposed to be a short, observational test run, Milo is violently thrown into the distant past and crash-lands in the heart of an untouched jungle. There, Milo makes an impossible discovery: he has landed in the era... and the world... of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. Far from a myth, Tarzan is intelligent, perceptive, and deeply connected to the natural world. Milo’s arrival immediately disrupts the balance of the jungle. His futuristic technology destabilizes time itself, attracting armed hunters and anachronistic forces that should not exist in this era. As Milo struggles to reconcile scientific logic with the terrifying reality that he may have broken history, Tarzan recognizes the danger Milo represents... and the necessity of his survival. The unlikely duo forms an uneasy alliance: Milo brings chaotic future knowledge, comic book references, and reckless innovation; Tarzan brings unmatched physical skill, strategic instincts, and the jungle itself as a weapon. Together, they uncover a growing mystery: someone else has learned to exploit time travel, using the past as a battlefield and resource. What begins as a survival story quickly escalates into a hidden time war, with Tarzan’s jungle as ground zero. As paradoxes multiply and reality begins to fracture, Milo must find a way to repair time before it corrects itself violently... by erasing everything in its path. Blending sharp comedy, high-energy action, and escalating thriller elements, Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas reimagines a classic legend through the lens of modern sci-fi, exploring destiny, responsibility, and the consequences of asking “what if” one time too many.

Destiny does not ask for permission. Once it starts moving, it never stops. Gu Xingyu, a psychology student who believes in logic over fate, never imagined that a bronze pocket watch would drag her into the Yao Realm—a world where ancient elemental powers collide with strange, almost mechanical inventions. Chosen as the Seeker, Xingyu is bound to the Seal of Yao. Her mission is simple to state, but impossible to ignore: find the five bearers of the Yao Power before a devouring void erases the world itself. Her first encounter is with Lin Lie—a brilliant, cold, and notoriously rude inventor whose sharp intellect rivals his emotional distance. As more bearers emerge, Xingyu quickly realizes that power alone won’t hold this team together. In a realm ruled by secrets, trauma, and supernatural abilities, her greatest weapon isn’t magic—it’s her ability to read minds, unravel motives, and confront the truths people hide from themselves. Five elemental seals. Five dangerous, broken, and unforgettable men. One ticking watch that refuses to slow down. Will Xingyu master the Seal of Yao— or become just another soul it consumes? Inspired by a real handcrafted talisman.

On her half-sister's wedding day, Fia's world shatters. Hazel, the bride, has allegedly eloped with Fia's fated mate, and over the phone he rejects her without mercy. With the Alpha groom ready to unleash war on her pack, and spurred on by her stepmother's pleas, Fia makes a desperate choice; she takes Hazel's place at the altar. But the marriage is nothing more than a cruel setup. Betrayed by her family and accused of stealing her sister's happiness, Fia becomes the perfect target for Alpha Cian's wrath. Humiliated and furious, he vows to keep her as his mate not out of love, but revenge. He swears he will break her, torment her, and make her pay until the end of time. What neither of them expects is that hate can twist, burn, and evolve into something far more dangerous. Between lies, betrayal, and a growing bond neither wants to acknowledge, Fia and Cian are bound to discover that the thin line between hate and love is meant to be crossed.

“Three souls. One night. The price of a flicker.” This is not a sprawling epic of wars and kingdoms. It is a collection of three interconnected breaths—brief, intentional glimpses into the hearts of those who live in the margins of the Great Hall of Irmisul. Inside, you will find: A guard who loves from a distance. A lamp-lighter who chooses a father over a King. A princess who finds her truth only when the lights go out. Written with pure emotions to touch the readers with a few words, this short triptych is designed to be read in a single sitting. It is a small, sharp shard of a world—short enough to finish in a heartbeat, but hopefully heavy enough to linger long after the shadows return.

The world ended when the machine gods broke. Now the Fox, a lone scavenger with mechanical limbs and a broken past, is blackmailed by a disembodied intelligence M.A.R.S., threatening to take away all that she has ever built. Her task: to venture into the DeepStrata Metro, a collapsed subterranean labyrinth ruled by smugglers and black-AI cults. Every step deeper brings the Fox closer to ancient divinity, the truth of what destroyed the world, and the answer to whether what M.A.R.S. wants is resurrection or coronation. @machinaecstasis on instagram

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."
