“I see catastrophe! Downfall of the heavenly Dao. What is happening?” He delved into the heavenly rules, try to divine the cause of the sudden premonition of doom, however, he suddenly vomited blood, he seemed as if he had been hit by a great force. Just as that happened, every inhabitant of the Taiyi immortal realm saw a brightly burning shining object hurtling toward their realm, it brought with it a suffocating pressure as it cruised the void at unfathomable speeds, crossing vast distances with seemingly no effort. Before long it was before their realm. Those in the know the mighty immortals hoped that the mighty plane barrier would be able to resist it, however as if to mock their hope it proceeded to rip through the realm barrier as if it wasn’t there. It then hurtled into the realm, and with it came a suffocating sense of pressure. From the mightiest immortal emperor to the weakest ant, they felt it press down on them overbearingly. No one could resist. The immortal emperors were shocked, just what could this be, could this be something from that legendary place. In spite of their fear they felt excited, maybe this could be a chance for them. Uncaring about their thoughts the object made to slip through into the realm, cruising through the atmosphere and slamming into the ground. As it passed through, it seemed to be ripping something from the very foundations of the entire immortal realm. The heavens were trembling, the earth was shaking, trees wilted and the ocean shuddered, all the birds in the sky fell to the ground and the heavens and earth were inverted, all living beings who could feel and understand felt as If something was being ripped from their very core and from the humblest mortal to the mightiest immortal emperor they felt a sense of profound sadness and loss. It continued unobstructed, drilling into it and leaving through the bottom of the realm. As abruptly as it had begun the heavenly signs disappeared and everything returned to normal, but to those in the know, they knew that everything was about to change, for their heavenly Dao, had disappeared. The Heavenly Dao is vast and unfeeling. Seeing all life as dogs. But what if an occurrence caused the heavenly Dao to reincarnate. What abilities would it have? What path would it take? Would it find Love and lose its unfeelingness? How would it navigate through life. This is a story exploring those answers and a look at how the heavenly Dao, pulled from its perch looking down on all creatures, paves the way back to the top, and what trials and tribulations await. Follow along and witness an epic story and explore profound questions. Was the reincarnation luck or misfortune, can we truly get rid of the shackles in our life.

Did you ever imagine ... What would happen if the roles of men and women were reversed? That it is women who persecute men? Wouldn't this be every man's dream? Well let me tell you that not everything is what it seems, since I was reincarnated in this troubled world, as a fox. PS: English is not my mother tongue, sorry for grammatical errors

In a cosmos where cognition materializes, a "astronaut" carrying suicidal memories plunges into tri-layered philosophical crucibles— {Void Cocoons} imprison stardust humanoids with fading memories, {Mirror Abyss} reflects deleted deathbed tears, {Final Sepulcher} exposes the cognitive incinerator of advanced civilizations. When quantumized Being and Nothingness backfires, when philosophical systems manifest as biomechanical organs in mercury vapors, this odyssey through crystal plains and inverted forests becomes a meta-experiment on "whether death is ultimate creation". Every creature embodies philosophical paradoxes, each breath redefines existence, while truth might just be glowing cognitive blocks in cosmic kindergarten.

Kang Mari is a kind-hearted South Korean actress who has achieved international fame through her roles in romantic dramas and action films, but who still feels frustrated by a lack of freedom. Her life's going to change when the first trips to the set scenerios for filming her latest movie put in motion an unexpected plot of its own, two different stories intertwining with disastrous results. Kim Raon, on the other hand, is her polar opposite in the vastness of the multiverse, the ruthless director of the psychic-run Dragon Division, for which the greatest enigma yet will rise in her defiance. New dark threats will put her agency to the test; she will need to take tough decisions to secure her interests, all for which she stands, but also having to keep safe a world she's always resented. Both lifetimes will converge in a scenario of mystery and suspense, where both characters must face their own internal and external demons, raising the stakes of loyalty, power, and the struggle for truth and liberation in a crossroads where nothing is as it seems.

No one expected a simple strategy game to become a real-world phenomenon, where the Earth merged with the game’s mechanics. Every human was forcibly assigned a territory, transformed into a Lord, and thrust into a brutal struggle for survival and dominance. Monsters roamed freely, ancient dungeons emerged from the ground, and the strong ruled while the weak were devoured.

Also, It's my first time trying to write a story, so the first set of chapters may be trash and boring.

In an era where legends shaped kingdoms, the Demon King was vanquished by deceitful heroes and banished for five centuries. Yet, in the shadows of his defeat, he plotted a dark return. Through forbidden magic, he clawed back to life, awakening in a world that defied everything he knew. Five centuries have transformed the realm. Once fierce battlefields are now reimagined, and society's roles have flipped. Men, once warriors, now live in subjugation, while women rise as dominant powers. The very fabric of strength and vulnerability is inverted, challenging the Demon King's understanding of power. As he steps into this unfamiliar world, an eerie energy fills the air. With vengeance burning in his heart, he must navigate this perplexing new order. Strange forces shape the land, and the realm he once sought to dominate is now ruled by those he underestimated. In this twisted landscape of loyalty and betrayal, who truly controls the fate of the realm, the resurrected Demon King or the women who now wield the power he covets? The battle for dominance begins anew, and the answers lie in a world turned on its head. Can he reclaim his throne, or will he be undone by the very forces he seeks to conquer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Content Warning: This is a fantasy story with strong adult themes. Whether in terms of sexuality or otherwise, this story will push boundaries in various ways. The protagonist, the Demon King, is by no means a hero of justice. If you were expecting a story where the hero of justice shines brightly, I must apologize. However, the story won't be overly heavy; it will proceed lightly, bit by bit. Your thoughts and corrections are welcome. Since this is my first novel, there might be instances where I unintentionally violate rules regarding content and language. If that happens, I appreciate your firm feedback. In addition, I plan to post illustrations and images along with the chapters occasionally.

What an upside down world! The person who was at the beginning of the food pyramid became at the end of it, as he became the prey... the ranks between man and animals have turned, as the animal has surpassed it and is leading the world And the weakest animals became the strongest, as they are the actual rulers.. This is a dramatic story of revenge.

An expedition into the unknown was truly that, what did he expect to find, stories of ghosts in the final frontier, expeditions doomed to fail, and then of course the Alaskan triangle... Unexplainable events still unexplained to this day regardless of how technology reveals the unknown. Has he gone mad? Or was this normal for anyone who gets lost here. Is it the cold? Hypothermia? Or was it rally him who lost all reasonable thought.. People go missing here more than they do in the Bermuda triangle, it was a fact brought up to him by someone who knew the area well, but he merely shrugged it off. Was he lost? Did the triangle take him? Sweat dripped down his forehead, Bertus was way too old for this but adrenaline had him on his feet by a margin, he didn't know it was going to be this kind of expedition. 'Why are you running?' The ghost like voice echoed through the forest again, he stopped and leaned against a tree, looking back he saw nothing, just trees, rocks and snow. 'Just say, and I'll end it' "Please stop!" He cried standing up and backing to a tree "I can't take it anymore!" 'Are you willing to submit yourself to me?' "What ever it takes!" Bertus saw a set of green glowing eyes appear in the dark ahead of him, then another, then another. Soon he found himself surrounded by eyes, standing so that they don't come in line with the illuminated snow. Bertus felt his breathing pick up, a fog started rolling in from all directions, until the wolf eyes disappeared behind it. Somehow it gave him relief, until the eyes appeared in the mist again, this time closer, but still they made no noise, he trembled uncontrollably looking around as to see a way out but there was none. 'You can calm down now Bertus' the voice came from the front, he saw between the green dots a set of violet purple eyes appear, and come up to him, as they approached, the white mist inverted, turning black, the trees turned white, he could see the wolves now but they looked like corpses, half bone, flesh rotten and intestines missing. Some were only an embodied ball of sagging, rotting flesh, the bones not present. Fear gripped Bertus but then a hand took his cheek and brought his face forward to meet the purple eyes again, it was a woman, she looked native American but her eyes seemed lifeless, hollow, violet smoke emitted from her irises, making it hard to see how her eyes really looked. Bertus backed but only his head could move and it hit the tree. He looked down and saw she was in fact naked, but black smoke covered her in such a way that one could only barely make out her nudity. 'Sssh–' she said, he saw fangs in her mouth, black ears on her head tucked into her thick black hair. 'I will take the nightmare away now' She leaned in and kissed him. Bertus felt her cold lips, then in through his mouth came warmth, almost like drinking soup, it went down into his stomach and finally it made his whole body twitch involuntarily. Pain took him over, he screamed and fell to the ground it felt like his body was being torn from the inside out, then as the hunger and bloodlust set in, his vision blacked out. 'You will never be human again, you will never die as well, but you will always seek blood, want flesh, and always want more'

Dai Lin became a surgeon at a strange hospital. Here, they don't treat diseases but various horrific and mysterious curses! Divided into the Resentful Spirit Department, Malicious Ghost Department, Evil Ghost Department, Fierce Spirit Department, and the enigmatic Demons Department... The eerie hospital, however, had some bewildering rules: First, believe that the hospital is called Hospital 444, not 666 Hospital. Second, between midnight and four in the morning, doctors and nurses must never enter the outpatient area. Third, if you experience a severe headache and notice an inverted cross on your forehead, immediately seek treatment at the hospital's Demons Department. Fourth, all doctors in the hospital wear white masks. If you see a doctor with a red mask, ignore them and make sure they do not realize you can see them. Fifth... And Dai Lin obtained a magical artifact, a pair of the Devil's Eye —the left eye could detect, sense, and attack, while the right eye could imprison, seal, and even devour and absorb. And the source of all the terror in this hospital was the director who had never been seen by anyone...

Inverting Clockwise Time Anticlockwise is a maximalist work of art that is a paganistic blend of poetry and prose that primarily uses a percussively poetic rhythmical vocal gymnastic aesthetic appeal which secondarily leans on the complex linguistic semantic of the English language. It details the life story of the male persona, who is the writer himself of the novel, about the university lifestyle as enrolled at the University of Eswatini, and the social, political, religious and psychological effects that this sphere of academia and institution wroughts upon a general individual. It details all the dilemmas that come with the institute lifestyle and its enrolled academics, and its legislative bodies, and even transcends to round up themes about environmental issues, governance politics, and the complex urban-rural contrast of the Eswatini's geography.

In a dystopian world unlike any other, where societal norms have been twisted beyond recognition, lies the harrowing tale of Daniel—a man who finds himself thrust into a nightmarish existence because of his gender. In this oppressive realm, being a man is a crime, a one-way ticket to a life of slavery and suffering. Daniel's journey is one of courage, resilience, and unyielding determination as he seeks to topple the malevolent system that has enslaved him and countless others. The society in which Daniel resides is a stark departure from the world we know today. It's a place where gender roles have been grotesquely inverted, and women hold absolute power. Men are reduced to the status of property, branded, and bought and sold like commodities in a grotesque auction. This dystopia's origins are shrouded in a twisted ideology that considers men inherently dangerous and women as the only arbiters of morality and power. Daniel, our indomitable protagonist, was an ordinary man until his world crumbled around him. A chance encounter with the authorities led to his capture and branding as a "Male Slave," a mark that sealed his fate. His once comfortable life was abruptly replaced with gruelling labour, merciless beatings, and dehumanizing treatment. But within the confines of his subjugation, the embers of rebellion smouldered. Through the pages of this gripping saga, readers witness Daniel's evolution from a frightened slave to a formidable force of resistance. He forges bonds with fellow male slaves who share his plight, and together they hatch a daring plan to bring down the oppressive regime. Their clandestine meetings, held in the shadows of their captors' vigilant gaze, become the crucible of their determination. But Daniel's path to revolution is fraught with peril. The society's enforcers are relentless, and the consequences of their capture are unspeakable. Yet, the memory of his stolen freedom, the countless lives destroyed by the system, and the spark of hope in the eyes of his fellow slaves fuel his determination. As the narrative unfolds, we bear witness to the complexities of this dystopian world. We see women who have been conditioned to believe in their superiority and men who have accepted their subservience. We also glimpse into the lives of those few women who secretly question the system, torn between their loyalty to the oppressive regime and their conscience. The climax of this epic tale is a breathtaking confrontation between the forces of oppression and the sparks of rebellion ignited by Daniel and his compatriots. In a stunning showdown that spans both the physical and ideological battlegrounds, the future of this society hangs in the balance. "Inverted Chains: Daniel's Rebellion in a Gendered World" is an exploration of themes such as power, gender, freedom, and the indomitable spirit of the human will. It challenges our preconceptions and delves deep into the consequences of unchecked authority and blind conformity. In the end, it leaves readers with a haunting question: How far would we go to break free from a world that has imprisoned us?
