Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

Dane Harper's life was a monotonous grind. Stuck in a soul-sucking 9-to-9 job with barely any time to breathe, his only escape was the world of visual novels. From anime to manga, light novels to webnovels, Dane had consumed it all, but nothing compared to his ultimate obsession: Harem, Dragons, and Deities (HDXD). This legendary visual novel was a masterpiece of high fantasy, packed with detailed lore, jaw-dropping twists, and, of course, an insane harem of monster girls and powerful women. Dane had spent nearly 7,000 hours playing it, chasing every ending possible, especially the legendary [Overlord of Humanity Ending], where the protagonist builds a massive harem and spreads his superior genes across the HDXD universe. But when a cosmic accident caused by a mischievous witch-in-training, Beatrice, wipes out the entire human universe, Dane's life takes an unexpected turn. As the first soul to be reincarnated, Dane is offered two wishes by Beatrice: a world of his choosing and a fragment of her power. Without hesitation, Dane chooses the world of HDXD, a place he knows inside and out, and a unique ability to help him survive: the Omni Harem System. This system not only helps him level up and gain unique powers but also guides him in building the ultimate harem. Now, reborn as some random extra of this hellish game, Dane is ready to live out his wildest fantasies. His life goal, walk over the MC, and replace him... But this isn't just a game anymore; it's real life, and the stakes are higher than ever. From battling dragons and deities to navigating the complex personalities of the women around him, Dane must use his knowledge of HDXD and his new powers to carve out his destiny without getting curve stomp by the overpowered people around him. But let's be real, becoming the Overlord of Humanity isn’t going to be a walk in the park. This is HDXD we’re talking about; a world where one wrong move can lead to a bad ending so messed up it'll haunt your dreams. As such, every step towards that ending requires heart, commitment, and sheer will, and you best believe Dane is aiming for that ending at all costs.

A classic villainess/heroine tale that puts a new twist on the genre. This Industrial Era fantasy tells the story of Nadia—a secret agent with a dry love life and an unhealthy addiction to visual novels—as she Transmigrates into the body of Vivian Moore, the villainess of the novel, from a family of business CEOs. All the destruction flags were raised, and Vivian was at the end of her rope. Her life was about to take a turn for the worst, but with Nadia behind the wheel, she seized Fate by the hairs of its head and yanked it into a sharp U-turn. No more weakness was allowed! If something wanted to get rid of her, she would stab it to death. If someone wanted to trample over her, she would shoot them into a beehive. And there was no stopping her because she had the strongest weapon a main character can have: the System!

Yuuji Kanzaki was the kind of guy no one noticed unless it was to mock him. A 24-year-old shut-in with no job, no girlfriend, and an unhealthy obsession with degenerate visual novels, his greatest achievement in life was finishing 7 out of 10 bad endings in Empress Academy: Love & Discipline. Then one rainy night, fate (or a poorly-driven delivery truck) gives him a second chance. When Yuuji wakes up in Velhara, a parallel world ruled entirely by women, he expects the usual: cheat powers, a cool sword, maybe a cute elf waifu or two. Instead, he wakes up naked, chained, and branded with the [Harem System] ... as a slave. In this matriarchal society, men are rare, weak, and treated more like breeding stock than people. If he wants to survive and rise, he’ll have to play the Harem System's game. *** [Reminder: No NTR, No Yuri, MC will become strong]

[Game loading] [System loading] *Files missing* [Main character missing] "I'm right here," Stephen muttered. Stephen Garnt, a college dropout, played a game for an entire week without rest. After successfully achieving all the accomplishments in the visual novel, he woke up to the realization that he had been reincarnated as the main character of that very world. This situation seemed manageable. He knew the game inside out. "Get out of my sight, pervert!" The fiery red-haired tsundere, who never previously uttered this line, delivered a sharp slap across his face. It was a new game plus, which meant he needed to complete the entire game anew, rather than simply reenacting his past actions. Though it was a challenge he believed he could conquer. "If you fail to complete a route for a heroine within a hundred days... you die," the system's voice oozed sarcasm. "Of course I do!" Stephen exclaimed. Join Stephen Garnt on his quest to navigate the routes of all fifteen heroines presented in the game, all the while tackling the intricate task of overseeing the kingdom's political state.

What happens when an idol, renowned as "Prince Visual," is thrust into a marriage with the actual Prince of his country? **Disclaimer:** All establishments, terms, events, and characters featured in this story are entirely fictitious and crafted solely for the sake of entertainment. The story may contain sensitive topics. Royalty is often perceived as synonymous with perfection; however, the facade shatters behind closed doors. The Royal Family Wang, hailed as one of the most unproblematic influential families in the world, maintains its prestige primarily through curated features and polished articles. In truth, their legacy harbors secrets and bitter feuds—once revealed, could incinerate their esteemed reputation. Present at the center is King Wang Jae-Hwan, who, in a bid to secure his lineage’s claim to the throne, chose to marry into an influential Noble family. Beneath the polished exterior, however, lay deep-seated secrets. Although he professed love for his wife, loyalty was a luxury he couldn't afford; he betrayed her on their wedding night, resulting in the birth of a son. Wang Jae-Yul, unaware of his royal heritage, led a life filled with hardship and isolation. The king eventually discovered Jae-Yul, yet the Queen enforced her control that stifled any ambition or desire for power within Jae-Yul, effectively destroying any inclination to fight for the throne. In contrast, the life of an idol is similarly punctuated by high expectations and relentless pressure. The group LUMINA stands as a testament to perseverance, having been meticulously crafted from the ground up by its manager and visionary CEO, Han Eui-Jun. While the competitive landscape in the entertainment industry usually swallows its participants whole, LUMINA carved out a niche and rose to fame, bolstered primarily by its members' impressive backgrounds. Yet, the group’s most formidable asset was none other than the radiant visual and face of LUMINA, dubbed "Prince Visual," Lee Ha-Neul. His captivating charisma and talent created an undeniable draw, securing LUMINA's place in the industry. But the tale unfolds beyond mere struggles and bittersweet endings, as two individuals, who have devoted everything to the pursuit of success, find themselves entwined in a destiny marked by conflict and unexpected encounters. Jae-Yul's life changed when he lost his mother. She, having lived under the shadow of the Queen, made a solemn vow to protect Jae-Yul from the painful truth of his noble lineage, a choice that plunged them both into hardship and concealment. It was only after her untimely death that she unveiled her secrets, leaving behind a letter that detailed everything. Initially consumed with thoughts of revenge against the royal family, Jae-Yul soon realized that his desire would be futile against such powerful enemies. Jae-Yul began to rebuild his life, and through continuous struggle, he found himself standing before the king to reveal the truth. The king, realizing the Queen's influence, employed sufficient pressure on her until she reluctantly agreed to accept Jae-Yul. However, she imposed a strict condition: no one must know of his existence prior to this revelation. Fast forward 8 years, in an unexpected turn, Jae-Yul entered Ha-Neul's life and proposed to him through his influence. However, once engaged, he neglected Ha-Neul for 4 years, which made Ha-Neul end the engagement publicly. Faced with the reality that he could no longer manipulate Ha-Neul's feelings, Jae-Yul now had to figure out how to win him back. Would he resort to deception or intimidation, emotional manipulation, or find it within himself to genuinely love? The question loomed large: what would it take for Ha-Neul to be persuaded to marry Jae-Yul once again?

This story starts about two decades after the Mars Human/Katzen colony was built. In orbit of Mars is a new ship construction satellite, and for resources the asteroids from the nearby Asteroid Belt are mined. The colony and satellite were built by CAW (Collation of Aligned Worlds) using some human labor. The colony contains a place where young humans are taught about technology, space travel, as well as the economics and politics of the CAW. Most of the instructors are Katzens, there are a few other member species as well. There are also a few human instructors, mostly teaching Human culture to the members of CAW. University to the Stars, as it was named about a decade ago, was created so that humans could be a part of CAW, as part of the arrangement, in exchange for knowledge, humans will give their support to CAW in manpower, as well as a sharing of sought after parts of culture. It was agreed it was better to have it off world, as Terran politics and religion did not mix well with pretty much anything. Many on Earth are not happy with this arrangement, but since they won't leave Terra, there's not much they can do about it. Those that are admitted into the program for labor or schooling are carefully screened, and agree to limited contact to those they leave behind. About eighty percent make it through screening. The Katzen have agreed to help those accepted get to Mars unmolested. There are families of CAW species that live on Mars as well, mostly Katzen. Mars does not have any political connection to Terra other than what was already mentioned. CAW does not get involved with internal conflicts on Terra except for humanitarian aid. In trade for aid, they must offer candidates for the help with construction, maintenance or their young for the university. Those candidates are also screened with about only ten percent that make it to Mars. Children as young as twelve are eligible for schooling. If a human family lives on Mars, they have basic schooling starting at age four available that is shared with the rest of the species living their. As it was the Katzen that found and later convinced the Humans to join, they have the strongest relationship with Humans. Some say this is because of all the cat videos on YouTube. It just so happened that Katzen's core system was on the edge of the galactic group next to Terra's. They have a somewhat new colony world on what we call Kapteyn b. It was inhabited a few decades before Terra was found. In fact, that is when Terran radio signals were discovered that led to the investigation of that world. That will be discussed in detail in the prequel, but needs some mention here. All member species except the humans have trade worlds with colonies on worlds or moons with trade stations orbiting them. The humans have or are in the process of building small trade stations in orbit around the other trade colonies. This is where all official trade takes place between them. There are some systems with nothing but mining outpost stations as they don't have any habitable planets or moons, and those systems are not worth any species colonizing. CAW technology is about a thousand years ahead of the humans. Everyone has some kind of personal communication, entertainment and computation device. Even the most basic compared to Terran tech is like comparing the IBM neuroscientist to an Altair 8800. Most people of the CAW have them embedded into their bodies such as their arm or appendage with holographic displays, or even in the head with micro displays on their corneas or visual sensory organ and audio feed and pickups in their ear canals or audio sensory organ powered by their own bodies. Some even have it wired directly into their brains receptors powered the same way. Some go old school and carry a device with them with batteries, a screen and audio drivers, these people are thought of to be eccentric.

Armed with nothing but his mind and a body engineered to defy nature itself, he must rebuild from the ground up, carving out a place for himself in this primal land teeming with towering beasts and hidden dangers. Unbeknownst to him, across the massive continent, another figure stirs—an enigmatic genius, summoned by forces beyond understanding.

In the shadow-drenched underworld of a sprawling metropolis, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is death, The Don's Game unfolds like a symphony of silence. The city breathes through rain-slicked streets, neon reflections on shattered glass, and whispers in smoke-filled rooms. A lone figure walks the thin line between vengeance and oblivion, navigating a labyrinth of power, blood, and forgotten promises. From the dim glow of underground sanctuaries to the glittering façade of high society, every frame pulses with tension. Visually rich and emotionally charged, this story weaves together past and present through haunting imagery, flickering candlelight in abandoned chapels, the cold gleam of steel beneath tailored suits, and the quiet resolve in a man’s eyes as he steps into war. This is not just a tale of crime, it’s a visual poem of retribution, told without words, where every glance, every gesture, speaks volumes. The Don's Game is a journey through darkness, lit only by the fire of one man’s purpose.

After possessing the body of Heide Atrel, the protagonist of the visual novel Ethereal Love, he discovers the truth of reality: what the protagonist sees is a lie—filtered through scripted love and idealism—while the world seen by the unprivileged is darker, gloomier, and collapsing. Adopted by the greatest Clarion user, Heide must now climb to the top. If he fails, the world will fall apart—quietly, silently—without him even realizing it.

Ravien Duskbane, the youngest and most feared admiral in history, believed in only one thing: victory. Praised for his brilliance, feared for his ruthlessness—everything was under his control. Until one night, he woke up in a body that wasn’t his. Now, he was trapped in the body of a forgotten character from a novel he could barely remember. And worst of all? This body could not die. Every wound healed. Every attempt at death ended in failure. Even his one desire—death—was denied to him. But Ravien refused to submit. If he was truly going to die, it wouldn’t be as someone weak or insignificant. First, he would rise. Then, he would conquer. He would bring the world to its knees. And in the end, he would reach the peak—just to find a death worthy of him. --- [General Content Warning – Please Read Before Proceeding] Dear reader, This novel explores many shades of darkness.

Father Enoch, a scholar of prophecy, is tasked with proving his theories about the Eclipse, the Return of the Mother, and the End of Days.

Anime Title: Hikari no Hiro (Hero of Light) Genres: Shonen | Action | Fantasy | Mystery | Tragedy | Adventure --- Plot Summary: In a world shaped by the shattered remnants of the Titan Blade, 11 elemental weapons—Legendary Blades—bind power to ancient bloodlines. Peace is disrupted when the demon-wielding tyrant Gimori Aku no, once sealed in myth, returns and annihilates the Kunehane and Shishiroma clans, severing two of the world's strongest lineages. Aizashi Shishiroma, once a legendary graduate of Sarutobi Academy, lives peacefully with his family until Gimori returns. In a brutal ambush, Aizashi loses his wife Katherine, their newborn son Xzavier, and his eldest son Levine. Broken and enraged, Aizashi takes up his Flame Blade and Katherine’s Shadow Blade, returning to Sarutobi Academy to confront his past. His mission: destroy Gimori once and for all. But behind Gimori’s resurrection lies a deeper secret—the truth about the Titan Blade, the Legendary Eye techniques, and a corrupted prophecy tied to the true Hero of Light. Main Characters Overview: Aizashi Shishiroma Age: 25 Traits: Vengeful, calm exterior, compassionate toward civilians, unrelenting in combat. Legendary Blades: Flame Blade (right), Shadow Blade (left) Legendary Art: Total Rush – Aggressor Saber (Unleashes dual-elemental blade storm) Visual Symbol: Red and black cloak, flaming and dark aura circling around him. Arc: From broken father to flame-shadow reaper of vengeance to hopeful martyr. --- Sensei Gara Age: 26 Traits: Funny, battle-hungry, deeply loyal, comedic relief yet philosophical.

There are visual images hidden in the comments, don't miss them! __________________________________________________ I have died more than once. In the square. The executioner was trembling, but his strike was steady. I looked into my king’s eyes, and he did not look away. He didn’t even flinch when my spine cracked beneath the blade. In the court hall. I was accused of treason, of betrayal, of heresy. They tied me to the stake, doused me in oil, and set me on fire. I screamed, not from pain, but from humiliation. He stood in the crowd. And again, he didn’t stop it. Didn’t turn away. He simply… let me burn. I died in a silent room, with my hands over my belly. My child didn’t breathe. No healer, no prayer, no tears could save him. When he entered the chamber, it was already too late. He came to the bed. Sat beside me. Said nothing. Just held my hand until I stopped breathing. Each time, I woke again. Once more, in this cold body. In this stone bed. In this castle, where it still smells of his wine, his ink, his power. But I am no longer the same. I do not forgive. I do not forget. I am the queen whose blood was spilled by the king’s command. And whose smile is now colder than his sword.

Ghost King Zhi Cheng is tired of his eight-hundred-year reign. To gain his freedom, he orchestrates betrayal and intrigue himself and is unceremoniously deposed. But his new, unbound life comes to an abrupt end when he not only stumbles from one problem to the next in the mortal world, but also meets the martial artist Qing lai. Because the self-proclaimed pacifist in white is more than meets the eye. As the former ghost king can't refuse the handsome man anything anyway, the two soon become a mismatched team that not only has to solve the problems they have created themselves. On the one hand, there are the inconveniences that Zhi Cheng has so carelessly brought with him from the spirit realm, as well as the tensions and intrigues of the mortal world. And also the one or other looming relationship drama. Hello, due to the rather slow and bumpy start of The Ghost King, the story is on hold for the time being and will be revised. To do this, I need to weave in the flow of information at the beginning and the flashbacks later on. I hope to be able to present the result to you soon. Except for the first split chapter, what has already been uploaded will not change much, and don't worry, I won't start the upload from the beginning. Changes will be updated, and as soon as the changes have been implemented, I will resume uploading new chapters on a regular basis. LG Misery Trigger warning This work contains: visual staging of violence, blood, sex and sexual assault. Swear words, same-sex love. Handling of weapons, including in magical form. Murder, manslaughter and the normal dose of intoxicants such as drugs, tobacco and enchantments. Human lives are more likely to be regarded as collateral damage here. When spirits, gods and demons fight each other, you shouldn't attach too much importance to that. Trust, a stable environment, mental health and spiritual mentality are also reduced to rubble. Friends, family, cities and entire regions. Have fun :D

When Sienna, a bold visual artist, and Luca, a grounded architect, fall into a love as passionate as their work, they build The Sanctum—a creative haven where intimacy, freedom, and art collide. But when a magnetic new artist enters their orbit, their bond is tested by desire, truth, and the choice to expand without breaking.   Velvet Tension is a sensual, emotionally rich story of Black love, artistic legacy, and the power of staying rooted when the world demands you rise.

Chifuyu’s life is flipped upside down when he’s brought into the world of hunters and vampires. His tale will bring happiness, laughter, sadness, and pain to himself as well as those around him. A new journey begins. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com *** Hello to all those reading and thank you for taking the time to check out my series. This is my first story that I'm posting online and I am serious about writing Vampire Legacy to be the best it can be. Though I do need to make clear that the first 100-200 chapters will be a mix of comedy and serious arcs. This will be a fantasy action story just as much as a comedy/slice of life story until the true plot kicks in. I plan to go all in with the comedy, then when we get to a certain turning point, the breaks will not stop with 13 long continuous serious arcs that will go until the finale. This novel will definitely be at least 500 chapters. I hope you all stay and see what I have to offer. *The cover is fanart for the anime The Case Study of Vanitas. I’m using it instead of the basic book cover until I draw the key visual myself.*

Arthur Bilgart was a successful and vastly wealthy businessman on Earth. However, he was kidnapped and tortured by his wife, Claudia, who was after everything he owned. He was tortured and isolated from the world for no less than a year before miserably dying. But death wasn't the end for he was reincarnated into a parasite in a foreign world. Volume 1: The Blood Purge (Chp 1 to 29) Volume 2 : The Mysterious Bottle (Chp 30 to 43) Volume 3 : The Bloated Murderer (Chp 44 to 65) Volume 4: Ruination (Pt1): Single-Minded Pursuit (Chp 66 to 86) Volume 4 : Ruination (Pt2): Feast of Lies and Sea of Spies (Chp8 to 128) Volume 5 : The Shadow Keep Penitentiary(Pt1): 'Why was the goose sad?'(Chp129 to ?) If you're interested in the premise, I will give some exposition on what to expect. First and foremost, the story, especially at the beginning, can have a slow pace to flesh out the world and characters. The plot will follow the parasite's second life in a new world in which Magic exists. Rather than focusing too much on non-stop and nonsensical fights, there will be a lot of focus on Arthur's psychological issues, his motives and beliefs. His views on the new world and opinions on moral relativism, the ruling aristocracy, the study of historical records and so on... Instead of a direct plot from beginning to end (Such as the generalized 'Defeat the Demon King), this story is more about self-discovery and the unravelling of ancient mysteries and forgotten history. It is about the character development of not only Arthur but other characters and how their actions affect the world. Arthur isn't inherently noble or unconditionally just, but he also isn't purely driven by lunacy or evil-oriented intentions. The MC is neither OP nor pitifully weak. This is not about someone reincarnated into a world just to become an undefeated force that simply kills everyone. There will be chapters dedicated to Lore or the travails of supporting characters. There are relatively detailed maps that I've created myself, which can be found here: The maps contain SPOILERS about regions and locations. https://ibb.co/xDPk4zz https://ibb.co/smKDgds There will be a System, one which isn't overly-complex nor too simplistic. In the beginning, at least, it is more of a visual and numerical representation of the MC's growth as he learns more about his Race and what it is capable of. Without delving into any details, the following are what you will find in this story: Exploring the world; Meeting new people, discovering fascinating cultures, deepening one's understanding of existence's history, delving into Politics. At some points, the story will be dark and quite disturbing. Chapters are between 1500 and 3000 words. One last thing: I'm not a native English-speaker, therefore, my grammar isn't flawless. I try my best to make everything coherent and enjoyable, but I might make a mistake or two along the way. If you notice anything, be sure to let me know and I will fix it. Apologies in advance and I hope you like the story.
