Then what? She was supposed to feel devastated and have a trauma that would take ages to get used to right? But alas! The poor child did not even have time to grieve. Another tragedy hit her. After losing her family she was only left with her best buddy. But as luck would have it she also lost her in the most cruel way possible. A second trauma scarred the life of the tiny child who had just reached the age to understand the world. But that was still not the end. It looked like she was in the middle of a tragic ocean where wave after wave of miserable experiences crashed into her one after another. On top of that, she seemed to be some kind of evil force that sucked the life out of everyone who showed her kindness. Thus at the age of five, she learnt her lesson to be independent in the harshest ways possible from Life. But those experiences made the once helpless and weak girl, the strong, independent and powerful woman she is today, Olivia Basu. Since then she kept all her actions in control until that one encounter at VN High School during her mission as an undercover student named Ankita Dey. ______________ This story consists of several side couples some of whom belong to the LGBTQ+ community.

Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan wakes up in a mysterious world, bound by a curse that clouds his judgment and forces him into choices he never wanted to make. Struggling with guilt and responsibility, he must navigate the consequences of his actions while uncovering the truth behind the curse and his place in this strange new reality.

Marcus Evans was the epitome of an ordinary guy—stuck in a dead-end job, addicted to reading webnovels for a taste of excitement, and completely invisible in the grand scheme of life. His greatest joy was escaping into the pages of Decade Long Crusade, a sprawling epic where the hero, Ash Braker, rises from weakness to ultimate power in a world of magic, technology, and danger. But when Marcus wakes up one day in a body that isn’t his, in a world that feels disturbingly familiar, he quickly realizes the impossible: he’s been transmigrated into the Decade Long Crusade universe. However, there’s a catch. He’s not the hero, nor even a notable character. He’s an unknown extra, an expendable background figure doomed to die without making a mark on the story. To survive in a world where extras are crushed underfoot by stronger powers, Marcus knows he can’t play the game like a hero. The only way to protect himself is to manipulate the plot, ensure Ash Braker’s rise to power, and play the part of the ruthless villain who pulls the strings from the shadows. As the world of cultivation, magic, and futuristic technology threatens to swallow him whole, Marcus must make hard decisions, form dangerous alliances, and betray those who stand in his way. Because in this world, it’s better to be the villain than to die forgotten.

When yesterday take too much of today~

Liam Jones, a self-made billionaire with a cold heart, trusts no one—especially women. His mother's betrayal left him scarred, and he’s built an empire on a foundation of bitterness. Love was never meant for him until Amelia, a woman with a lost past, walks into his life. With no memory of her own, she mistakenly believes Liam is the man she once loved.  His indifference to her makes her more curious, and what starts as a chance meeting ignites something in Liam he never thought possible—desire. But when Amelia’s memories return, so do the lies.  And Liam, who abhors deceit, is left questioning everything. Just when it seems their relationship is crumbling under the weight of betrayal, an unexpected figure—Andrew Monroe, Amelia’s dangerous ex—is determined to reclaim her, pushing Liam to the edge. Will Liam’s walls crumble under the pressure of truth, lies, and deceit, or will Amelia’s secrets be the one thing they can’t recover from?

Who wants to become president? What if people's thoughts could overthrow a dictator? What if fire could cleanse a country of corruption? What if a revolution could start with a single photograph? The story is about how people can try to overthrow a dictator in a rather unusual, unconventional way. After all, any idea manifests itself at a certain and designated time. Ideas - whose time has come - have enormous power. People have known and used magic since time immemorial. All magical rituals are based on supernatural, immaterial forces, incomprehensible and therefore not yet recognized by science. Magical and paranormal phenomena and abilities have much in common, since they use forces and factors that cannot be explained scientifically. All living beings and people are not just material bodies. There is something in them other than matter, and therefore they are able to perceive what is beyond the physical world. Almost always, in order for something fresh, new and better to appear, the rotten old must be destroyed and burned. Fire is a symbol of change, transformation and rebirth. The element of Fire functions at the center of all things - everything came from it and everything will return to it.

In high school, he became the school’s top student and the most admired boy, while she struggled to keep up, hoping to be like him just to get his attention. He secretly helped her but never let himself get too close. Then, one day, he left. He received a scholarship abroad and disappeared from her life without a word. Years later, he returns—no longer a struggling boy, but a successful man who built himself from nothing. But she’s no longer the same girl who chased after him either. Their worlds have changed, yet fate refuses to keep them apart. Will they finally break free from the misunderstandings that kept them apart for so long? Or is their love truly not meant to be?
