thriller

The Specialists: Book One — Awakening “So far as we’re on Earth, we all live, we all walk, and we’re all different... but... it’s more than that, isn’t it?” There will always be a set of people — or maybe various sets — different from the rest. They walk among us, invisible yet always watching, bound by rules written before time began. Not all their stories are told. But come to think of it... if we never tell, they will never know. Beneath the hum of cities and the illusion of normal life, another world breathes — one of Specialists, relics, and Arms that bend the laws of nature itself. Shadows move across time, hunting, watching, waiting for those who can rewrite reality. When an orphaned student receives a call that changes everything, and a stranger draped in dusk arrives at the edge of his world, the first thread begins to pull loose. What wakes isn’t always alive. What’s buried doesn’t always stay dead. And the ones who remember… are already watching. Awakening is just the first movement in a war older than history itself.

[UPDATE EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY AT 10 P.M.] WARNING [ CONTAINS SOME REALLY DISTURBING SCENES] Zara Quinn has built her career on exposing the truth. As an investigative journalist for the New York Chronicle, she's never met a story she couldn't crack—until she's assigned to infiltrate the dark underground music scene of Brooklyn, where young women have been vanishing without a trace. All roads lead to The Abyss, a notorious nightclub where shadows dance to hypnotic beats, and at its center reigns Ravyn Cross—a legendary DJ whose sets are as intoxicating as they are dangerous. With her raven-black hair, haunting presence, and a reputation whispered in equal parts fear and fascination, Ravyn is everything Zara should stay away from. But when Zara goes undercover as "Zee," a lost soul seeking refuge in the dark, she finds herself caught in Ravyn's magnetic pull. What begins as a dangerous game of cat and mouse ignites into an obsession neither can control. Ravyn sees through Zara's disguise from the very first night—and decides to play along, weaving a web of manipulation, desire, and psychological warfare. As Zara descends deeper into Ravyn's world, the lines between investigation and addiction blur. Every touch is a transaction. Every kiss, a trap. Every night together pulls Zara further from the light she once knew, until she can no longer tell if she's hunting a criminal or surrendering to the one person who truly understands the darkness inside her. But The Abyss holds secrets far more sinister than either woman anticipated. A trafficking ring, a missing sister, ghosts of past lovers, and a web of lies that entangles them both in violence and crime. When the truth finally surfaces, Zara faces an impossible choice: escape and reclaim her life, or stay and embrace the beautiful, brutal cage Ravyn has built around her heart. In a city that never sleeps, two women spiral into a love so toxic it might just destroy them both—or forge them into something far more dangerous together. Forbidden Frequencies is a dark, unapologetic exploration of obsession, power, and the thin line between love and possession. This is not a story of redemption. This is a story of descent.

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

In a world of city lights and hidden shadows, 24-year-old business elite Zhou Xingzhi hides a dangerous secret, and 19-year-old Lin Zhixia is the only one who can see past the mask.

A game of fear, strategy, and passion unfolds—can they survive the mastermind’s deadly play… and each other? Love. Suspense. Betrayal. Thrills. All beyond the city lights.

Eli Hale has always kept his head down. Not just because of the anxiety that never really goes away, but because that is how he was raised. Quiet house. Small town. No questions. His mom, Lydia, kept their life simple in Port Virel. His father died before he was born, and the rest of the family slowly faded out of the picture. Eli learned early that it was easier not to dig too deep. Then his mother disappears. The explanation he is given does not make sense. Before he can even process it, something happens to him that he should not have survived. After that night, things feel different. He notices details other people brush off. Strange pauses. Reactions that come a second too late. Moments that feel slightly wrong. It starts to feel like the world is thinner than it should be. What Eli does not know is that reality runs on opposites. Every force has a counterforce. Pressure and release. Known and unknown. Presence and absence. Most people never think about that balance. A small number are born tied to it. They carry Binaries, opposing forces that shape how reality behaves around them. Power does not come from spells or elements. It comes from alignment. The more someone lives in sync with their Binary, the stronger it becomes. Growth is not about talent. It is about surviving what should have killed you. And the further someone advances, the more the power begins to change them in return. Governments are aware of it. Institutions manage it. Parts of history have been rewritten because of it. The public has no idea how much of the world is built on something unstable. Eli does not know any of this yet. He only knows that people have started watching him. They test him without saying that is what they are doing. They offer help that feels conditional. The academy that recruits him presents itself as elite and necessary. It promises structure, discipline, and answers. What it really offers is exposure to others like him and a look at how dangerous this hidden system actually is. Whatever Eli survived was not random. And whatever he is carrying is not small.

[R-18] [Darkest] [Tragic] In the rotting husk of a world where cities burn under atomic skies and power is measured in blood and blackmail, Draxton is owned by the Krossvales — seven orphaned brothers raised by a sadistic father into gods of violence. They deal in weapons, fear, and broken bodies, profiting from every war while the rest of humanity chokes on ash. Vernon Krossvale is their blade: 6'2" of scarred, combat-hardened muscle, long dark hair framing a face carved from stone and rage, coat always open over a bare, slashed torso. He kills without blinking, feels nothing when he does — until the night a girl sees him gut a man in the forest with brass knuckles and pull out his intestine. Vernon's death gaze falls on her. She runs. He smells her fallen handkerchief. And something inside him — long dead — wakes up. Ira Royvane never wanted Draxton. She came for survival, not salvation. But that night branded her. She was never meant to survive the gaze that pinned her in the dark — eyes that saw her to the bones. Vernon haunts every sketch she draws — his bloodied hands, his shadowed eyes, his lethal beauty. When the Krossvales seize her school through threats and terror, turning classrooms into their personal hunting ground, Ira becomes prey in their empire of cruelty. The Krossvales violate the girls the way wolves tear meat from still-kicking prey—playful, tearing, taking turns. Any brother, father, boyfriend who bares teeth in defense is dragged down and opened from throat to groin. While innocence bleeds—the monsters laugh . Vernon watches — always watching — helpless against Kai’s insanity and his own buried guilt. Until the day Ira crashes into him again, body pressed to his fever-hot skin, and for one heartbeat the monster feels something worse than emptiness: need. The man who has never wanted anything now wants one thing above all: her. Not to destroy. Not to possess. To shield. To keep. To feel something other than guilt and emptiness for the first time in his ruined life. In a city where mercy is suicide and love is the deadliest sin, a monster begins to question his chains — and a girl begins to wonder if the nightmare who haunts her drawings might be the only one capable of saving her from the rest of the monsters . **My Monster Man** — A raw, obsessive dark romance of guilt that bleeds, trauma that scars, forbidden desire that burns, and the fragile, dangerous hope that even the blackest heart can still protect the soul it was never meant to touch. [Contains dark themes and graphic violence. Reader discretion is advised.]

Reborn as the Rune Coder Death was supposed to be the end. For Arin, it was only the beginning. Once a software developer in a modern world, Arin awakens in the body of a fifteen-year-old orphan in a brutal fantasy kingdom ruled by magic, monsters, and hidden power. With only one month before he is forced to survive on his own, Arin quickly realizes something strange about this world. Magic here is not just power. It is code. Runes—ancient symbols used by mages—are treated as sacred formulas. Copied, memorized, and repeated for centuries. But Arin sees something no one else does. To him… runes look like programming language. Functions. Logic. Structure. And if magic is code— then it can be rewritten. Armed with a rare rune book, a mysterious dagger left by his father, and knowledge from a world that understood systems better than spells, Arin begins experimenting with forbidden ideas. What happens if runes are optimized? What if spells are automated? What if magic could learn? Hidden beyond the city walls, in an abandoned house surrounded by monsters and dungeons, Arin begins building something the world has never seen before. A mechanical construct. A wooden machine powered by runes. A creation that can think, learn… and fight. But innovation attracts attention. Nobles crave power. Mages fear change. And deep in the shadows, an ancient organization manipulates kingdoms in pursuit of immortality. The moment Arin rewrites the rules of magic— He becomes their greatest threat. —or their most valuable weapon. In a world where knowledge is power and secrets are worth kingdoms… one programmer might just rewrite reality itself.
