"Do you know why they built the circus, son?” The man’s voice carried no warmth. His hollow eyes lingered as he placed a jester’s hat onto the boy’s head. It slipped too easily, the bells whispering as it swallowed his face. The boy fumbled with it. “No… father.” The man leaned closer, fixing it with slow, deliberate care. “So no one looks where they’re not supposed to.”

“What are you doing here, you pervert?” she snapped. He blinked, clearly offended.             “Pervert? Can’t I get a better nickname?”             “Mr. Pervert?” Her expression hardened, while Yoongi pouted like a scolded child.      “You followed me, didn’t you?” she accused.                          “No.” She stepped closer.           “So what? You came for my attention? Or to see my skirt fall again? Or my lips on yours?” Her voice lowered dangerously. “Or maybe to tell the shop owner I’m your girlfriend so you get a discount?”     She moved forward. Yoongi moved back.         Until his broad back hit the cold white wall. “N-No…” he stammered.               “Then why are you here?” She slammed her palm beside his head, trapping him.     Update daily don't forget to comment vote and share Love y'all

Note: I'll be posting this novel on royal road. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/962348 What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated.

In 1738, the world's first hyper-realistic virtual reality game, Beyond, launched. Six months later, a world-shaking notification declared the greatest First anyone had ever achieved in the game's short history. Yanis Montgomery was seventeen when he became world champion.

Now, thirteen months after they burned him alive in the press, the broke, broken and furious ex-pro finally Souses into Beyond. Armed with the mysterious experiences of his Backgrounds, Yanis grinds, schemes, and fights to survive against dangerous creatures, other Awakened, and the vast, untamed wilds of Beyond.

Arthur Moreau disappeared during a live broadcast. No warning. No transition. No last words. One moment he was finishing a world event in front of fifty thousand viewers. The next, he was gone, and what arrived somewhere else was Gepetto: his character, his creation, the most feared Marionettist ever built in a game where power was the only language that mattered. The world that caught him is not new to collapse. Gods have existed here, and some of them have died. What stands now is only the latest arrangement of a cycle that never needed him. Elysion is a Republic in the way that a cracked foundation is still a building. The institutions function. The titles exist. But beneath the gas lamps and the steam columns and the elevated rails connecting district to district, the actual structure is simpler: those with enough power do what they want, and everyone else absorbs the cost. The working class breathes chemical residue and calls it employment. The middle class negotiates in a market that has stopped rewarding negotiation, trains for credentials that no longer open doors, and moves forward because stopping is worse. There is no king here. There are only people with enough accumulated weight to act as though the question of permission does not apply to them. The Church of the Solar God holds the whole thing together, which is not a metaphor. A population that does not share language, origin, or history requires something to organize around, and the Church understood this long before anyone thought to ask. The Solar God is not a symbol. He walks. He acts. He has reasons of his own. And now, Players have begun to appear. Not as heroes. Not as chosen figures. As variables carrying power without understanding the system they have entered. The world does not pause for them. It absorbs them, bends around them, and continues. Gepetto does not try to fight it. He studies it. While others assert themselves through force, faith, or the assumption that visibility equals strength, he builds something quieter. Not an army. Not a faction. A structure: distributed, patient, invisible until it is not. A web that does not need to be seen to function. The skills are real now. The strings are real. And what they touch does not reset. House of Puppets is a story about control, belief, and the cost of acting in a world indifferent to your intentions. It follows a man who does not seek to win, but to understand the rules well enough that losing becomes unlikely. Because the puppeteer pulls the strings. But in a world this old, someone is always watching. A word from the author: House of Puppets is built closer to a novel than a webnovel: each chapter accumulates, each arc tightens, and the end of every Volume is the destination of everything that came before it. The structure rewards patience. Tension builds and does not release until it is meant to. The ambition is simple to say and hard to earn: one day, a place among the works that defined what this genre can be. Lord of Mysteries, Reverend Insanity, ORV, Shadow Slave. I cannot promise we get there. I can promise I will give everything trying.

Seated upon the obsidian throne carved from the bones of forgotten kings, Queen Sahira gazes with haunted authority. Her crimson hair cascades like spilled wine over blood-red robes etched in ancient runes. Veins of power glow faintly beneath her skin, a testament to the forbidden blood magic she commands. Shadows of the past; faceless, whispering, watching; loom behind her, remnants of the souls bound to her rise. This is the heart of Sahirra's power: beauty cloaked in terror, a legacy soaked in sacrifice. Her silence speaks of kingdoms ruled, rebellions crushed, and a destiny darker than prophecy ever dared whisper. Inspired by the Dune, The poppy war and Avatar

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] --- Adele de Frostfang, born a princess and a Luna by blood, she was never meant to be invisible. Yet at twenty-two, she remains unmated, powerless, and whispered about behind gilded doors. Her childhood spent in hospitals left her sheltered and naïve, while her younger sister shines effortlessly in the spotlight of society. In a world ruled by packs, power, and bonds, a Luna without a mate is seen as incomplete—and disposable. Tired of pity and ridicule, she makes a reckless decision: if fate will not give her a mate, she will choose one herself. She decides to learn the ways of high-circle from a rogue, what begins as lessons in confidence, society, and adulthood slowly turns into something deeper. But secrets cannot stay buried forever. This is a modern werewolf romance about choice, growth, forbidden bonds, and a no-mate Luna who dares to write her fate.

"Sect Master! Marry me!" If only things were that simple. Fang Yuan lets out a long sigh, eyes fixed on the mountain of paperwork threatening to swallow his desk and his soul. As the youngest family head in history, you’d think he’d be enjoying fame, fortune, and fawning admirers. Instead, he’s buried in bureaucracy, stuck mediating elder disputes, and wondering if the sect treasury mysteriously eats spirit stones. Sure, the old geezers have their experience, their beards, and their lofty reputations. But Fang Yuan? He has one thing they don’t: raw, unshakable power. Born into a world where innate talent reigns supreme, Fang Yuan—a transmigrator armed with modern grit—actually managed the impossible: he clawed his way to the top with nothing but relentless hard work. While everyone else coasted on heavenly bloodlines and golden physiques, he trained, he studied, and he schemed. Now, he’s strong enough to bend heaven’s will. But cultivation isn’t all sword beams and glory. Life as a family head comes with its own set of woes—namely, watching his annoyingly handsome junior brother collect all the female attention like some kind of walking romance novel. “This isn’t fair,” Fang Yuan mutters under his breath, stamping another scroll. “I’m the protagonist here... right?” this novel officially began its journey on 24th of June.

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you.

In her first life, she married her killer. This time, she married his nightmare. Sienna Mason was the adopted daughter of the Mason family— married off to the millionaire, Tom Blackwell. But instead of loving his wife, Tom gave his heart and his loyalty to her own sister, Ruby Mason. On the day Sienna gave birth to her daughter, she was left to bleed on a hospital bed.

He was a billionaire with a capital B! And he would destroy anyone who dared to touch his wife. Now, Sienna is trapped between revenge and a husband who looks at her like he’s ready to burn the world for her.

In a world where the System has existed since the dawn of humanity, every person is born with limits. A Class. Stats. A cap that defines how far they can ever grow. Noen is the exception. When he awakens his System, it assigns him a never-before-seen Class—one so weak it becomes a global joke. Negative stats. A cap of zero. A life already decided. What no one understands is what the System truly means by zero. While others struggle as they approach their limits, Noen grows beyond them. Slowly at first. Painfully. Until the rules that bind everyone else no longer apply to him. Everyone has a limit. His is zero.
