"You really think you can just hide forever? From them? From me?" "Do you really think we can be together?" she whispered, her voice rougher than she meant. "No. We can't. It just won't work."

Synopsis Some memories are not meant to be forgotten. In 2026, a quiet girl transfers to a new school carrying more than just grief. Her father is gone, and her mother walked out years ago, leaving only her and her older brother to grow up too fast and too alone. She isn't searching for love or answers-only a way to survive each day without breaking. Then she meets him. A boy who feels familiar in a way she can't explain. One look is enough to make her heart race, as if it remembers something her mind cannot. He feels it too, though his life seems nothing like hers-an orphan adopted by a powerful family, hiding a secret no one else can see. Every night, he becomes something else. A curse he never chose. A fate he doesn't understand. Drawn by an inexplicable pull, she follows a path into the forest near her new home and discovers a forgotten castle-one that exists only for reborn souls. As its halls awaken, fragments of another life begin to surface: a princess who chose love over a crown, a prince condemned as a monster, and a betrayal that shattered a kingdom. The past is waking. The curse is tightening. And fate is watching. As memories return and truths unfold, the girl and the boy must decide whether this lifetime will repeat an ancient tragedy-or finally rewrite it. Because some loves are stronger than time, and some promises refuse to stay buried. A story of reincarnation, forbidden love, betrayal, and redemption-where the greatest risk is remembering, and the greatest courage is choosing each other again.

I accidentally got into a dungeon and was on the verge of death when someone saved me. [The Constellation of Gates (GM) offers you a sponsorship. Would you like to accept?] A status window appeared. {YES}  {NO} Who in their right mind would say no at a time like this? So of course, I hit yes. And just like that, I became a cheat. No, a bug in this world. I started ranking up like crazy, gaining overpowered skills and god-tier treasures. But then a question hit me. Who exactly is this Constellation who helped me? And what does [GM] in his title even mean? Doesn't that usually stand for Game Master? Or maybe Grand Master? I didn’t really care at the time. He saved me, and that was good enough. So I brushed it all off like it didn’t matter. Until I met her again. My first love. [The Constellation of Gates (GM) is shocked to see you.] [The Constellation of Gates (GM) covers [his] face at your words.] ... Wait a damn minute. And that’s when I knew that "he" wasn’t a he but a she. and not only that, she was my long unrequited love!

Not a day or night passed without them haunting me like restless ghosts on a rampage. Even as I stood there defiantly glaring at him, they seemed to bore into my mind, body, and soul. I hated them. I despised them. "You spoke out of turn, sweetheart." His infuriatingly deep voice shattered the flame igniting in my body. "I don't want you kneeling. I want you standing exactly like this... angry, defiant, and unbroken. So you understand that even at your strongest... you're still mine." "And if I don't want to be? Will you destroy me?" Defiant was my middle name, and I would live up to it or die trying. "That doesn't scare me." A slow smile I knew all too well touched his mouth, but it did not unnerve me one bit. I had seen too much of his ruthlessness to be deterred by that dark, devoted, yet terrifying smirk. "I would destroy the world first. But if it came to you?" He leaned in, his words brushing my ear like a promise and a threat intertwined. "I'd ruin you... and call it mercy." ***** For three years, Isabella was married to one of the richest men in America.

He expected her to come crawling back the moment she faced the cruelty of the real world, a decision that would become his greatest regret.

If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

(trigger warning. This book contains mature themes) ****** "I can't..." she gasped between broken moans, her voice trembling somewhere between pain and pleasure. Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear. Feeling her tremble from touch until my teeth nibbled her earlobes hard enough to make her whimper and her fold to clench around my fingers. “Wrong name, Lynn.” I hissed, withdrawing from the warmth of her insides. I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand. If she only knew how close I was to breaking. Because the only name she should be calling… was mine. Lucien.

In a world shaped by ancient powers and forgotten wars, humanity survives under the shadow of forces it barely understands. The practice of the Ancient Arts—mysterious abilities known as 'Releases' was once bestowed upon humanity by the heavens themselves as a desperate measure during a primordial war against six godlike beings known as the Six Gods of Calamity. These entities nearly erased civilization, forcing rival nations to unite in a struggle that lasted generations. Though the Calamities eventually vanished without explanation, humanity preserved the memory of that terror within a sacred monument: the Great Tombs of Constelli, a memorial built not in worship, but as a plea that such devastation would never return. Centuries later.

As alliances fracture and secrets surface, Detective Silvers is forced to confront a terrifying truth—this case was never just about justice. It was the opening move in a far greater game, one that will decide the fate of those who live in ignorance… and those who dare to uncover what lies beyond.

Don't be fooled by the title. I don't even have an iota of ego. Matter of fact, I'm the most humble man you'll ever meet! Some say I’m also the smartest man you’ll ever meet. I wouldn’t say that myself, of course. That would be arrogant. I merely acknowledge the objective truth. My name is Ziyang, and I'm here to tell you a story. You see that smug bitch holding a dagger to my throat? Well, it had been my humble ambition to take that egotistical, drowning in his own self-importance, arrogant piece of a shitfucker down. Atleast, that's what my original hope was anyway, because apparently the universe has a way of telling you to sit the fuck down when you try jumping too high. Boy, can I not wait to tell you about the clusterfuck I put myself into. So tighten your bootstraps, clutch your snacks, and maybe sign a waiver. What follows is an outrageously adventurous, mildly disastrous, and aggressively entertaining journey.
