Merope Riddle

When Tuzi, the beloved bunny of the Moon Goddess Chang'er who was blessed into a human, is stolen from her celestial home— She is violently cast down to the Mortal Realm, stripped of her divine grace and thrown into a world she doesn't understand. Upon awakening, she finds herself surrounded by strangers—and everything she once knew is now a distant memory. ​Chang'er, the Moon Goddess, is determined to solve the mystery of her stolen companion, but focusing on the task proves difficult. Every clue brings her closer to the answer, but it also brings her dangerously close to the too-handsome-for-his-own-good God of Sky, who seems to be more of a distraction than a help. Can the Moon stay focused long enough to recover Tuzi? ​Meanwhile, Atlas—the Sky God’s best soldier—has dived into the Mortal Realm after Tuzi. But why is he so intent on finding the fallen bunny, and what does he have to do with the celestial theft? Tuzi may have been a simple rabbit once, but as a newly- minted divine lady, guarding her heart against this dashing, charming soldier is proving far more difficult than she ever imagined. Add to that the sudden interest of several alpha gods, and Tuzi's life is turned upside down by both celestial politics and unexpected romantic tension. With gods, mysteries, and more than a few mosquitos in the way, can Tuzi reclaim her place in the heavens and solve the riddle of her own disappearance? A romantic, funny, and action-packed twist on the legend of Chang'er and her white bunny, Bunny and the Moon will keep you guessing—and laughing—until the very end. Bet you can't figure out who did it!

In a world hidden from humanity, where every individual wields a unique magic, the balance of power is shattered by the rise of a malevolent force. Lyra Elowen, a timid village girl with seemingly insignificant light magic, lives a quiet, uneventful life—until the storm arrives. When an unnatural tempest descends upon her secluded village, it brings with it Kael Draven, a mysterious shadow mage cloaked in danger and secrets. His arrival marks the beginning of a cataclysmic series of events, as shadows corrupt the land and chaos magic begins to spread. Lyra is thrust into an unimaginable conflict, forced to abandon her home and venture into an unknown world to uncover her true destiny. But Kael isn’t the only one with answers. Along the way, Lyra encounters Elias Fynn, a warm-hearted healer whose kindness contrasts sharply with Kael's cold demeanor. While Elias offers her comfort and encouragement, Kael’s abrasive but honest mentorship challenges her to confront the weaknesses she has long tried to ignore. As Lyra trains under the enigmatic mage Selene Aldara, she discovers her light magic is far more powerful than she ever imagined, tied to an ancient prophecy about a savior who can wield the lost elemental powers. Yet, with every step forward, betrayal lurks in the shadows, and the question of trust becomes a matter of life and death. Kael’s dark past comes to light, fracturing the fragile alliance between him, Lyra, and Elias. Their relationships are further complicated by an unexpected love triangle, testing their loyalties and emotions as they face mounting dangers. Lyra’s journey is fraught with peril—deadly battles, ancient riddles, and a traitor among her closest allies. The first part crescendos in a heart-stopping climax where Lyra must embrace her nascent elemental magic to save her friends and herself. But the cost of victory is high, leaving her with more questions than answers. With her newfound power comes the weight of the world’s survival, and Lyra stands on the precipice of a destiny she never wanted, unsure of who she can trust. Part 1 ends with the shadows looming larger than ever, setting the stage for a journey filled with even greater danger, deeper betrayals, and the tantalizing hope of uncovering the truth about her magic—and herself.

Nagi was an ordinary man at the end of his rope. Struggling with depression and haunted by years of failure, his life ended one cold winter night in a tragic overdose. But death wasn’t the end—it was only the beginning. When Nagi awakens in an unfamiliar world, he discovers he now inhabits the body of Ved Flack, the heir to one of the most powerful and feared families in the empire.

But with such power comes enemies—and a dark legacy that Nagi must now inherit. This new world is one of peril and magic, where dungeons teem with deadly creatures, ancient secrets, and unimaginable rewards. It is also a world of intrigue, where allies are as dangerous as enemies, and everyone is driven by ambition or survival. As Nagi struggles to adapt to his new life, he’s burdened by Ved’s reputation and haunted by the memories of his own failures. Yet, he begins to realize that this second chance isn’t just about surviving in a world that may be even more unforgiving than the one he left behind. Will he rise to the challenge, or will fate have other plans?

Found abandoned on Halloween night as a child, wearing a mask she’s forbidden to remove and clutching a cryptic note, Cora’s existence has been a riddle she’s never been able to solve. When she gains admission to the prestigious Oscar Island University—a school renowned for its exclusivity and shrouded in mystery—Cora hopes to escape her past and embrace a new beginning.

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

The word shattered, heaven's once ruler was thrown into deep hibernation. His power burst forth from his avatar and spread throughout the mortal plain, years later that same power took on the form of Regalia and humanity was 'blessed'. For the first time in millennia, angel's descended upon the mortal plain to warn humanity, "The power bequeathed to thee is but a simple gift from thy divine lord. Thou must never use thine power for evil or else humanity shall be destroyed." The angel's deceived humanity in attempt to hide the state of their lord. Humanity used the new energy and power to develop their technology incredibly fast. They created entire islands, enhanced space travel, and within just a hundred years... They had even captured a star. However, humanity was still a curious species riddled with sin, over the hundred years of development humanity learned to revolutionise war... Regalia energy increased the physical capabilities of mortals dependent on their aptitude with it. Many humans had begun to discard the need for guns as simply, they became too slow. Humanity had regressed in a way, back to killing each other face to face in bouts with swords and other weaponry.

Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on. Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space. With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.

Suyin, a modern pediatrician known for her unyielding sense of justice, finds herself catapulted into the past when a lightning strike hits her during a storm. She awakens in the body of Han Suyin, the only daughter of a noble family responsible for educating the royal family of the Long clan (This is inferred she is in her ancestor's past body). Trapped in a society where women, especially female doctors, are looked down upon, Suyin faces severe oppression and control from her parents, who prioritize their fame and fortune above her well-being. Determined to escape her stifling life, Suyin flees to the territory controlled by the Qin clan, who are embroiled in a fierce war with the Long clan. Crossing the border, she encounters Qin Fuhua, the feared Prince of Qin, notorious as the "Devil of Misfortune." After saving his younger sister with her advanced medical knowledge, Suyin is taken hostage by Qin Fuhua, who is both intrigued and suspicious of her unusual skills and knowledge. Within the Qin clan's stronghold, Suyin's resolve and medical expertise begin to challenge the clan's ruthless and merciless reputation. Despite the absence of modern technology and the freedom she once knew, Suyin adapts, using her compassion and intelligence to navigate her precarious situation. A mysterious riddle involving magnolia flowers and a prophecy ties Suyin to Qin Fuhua, drawing him to her despite his initial reservations: "Flowers of magnolia will guide for a better future." The scent of magnolia flowers that seems to follow Suyin hints at a destiny intertwined with the fate of both the Long and Qin clans. As she strives to survive and make a difference in this ancient world, Suyin's presence becomes a beacon of change, challenging old beliefs and forging new paths.

"the mansion is heavily guarded you won’t succeed ” Primo told me as we lay on the bed together. Little Jay is on the cot sleeping and dreaming of his own wonderland. I ignored what Primo just said and went to the drawer for my mask and a small relaxer container. Dropping the mask on the bed I opened the relaxer container which contains a white substance. “ Well Primo you may have taught me how to be heartless because you are my cousin but there’s something I know more better than you ” “ and that is? ” he ask very curious to know what is inside the container. “ how and ways to kill ” I replied and I covered the container sitting down on the bed again. “ Bolanle but you’ve never killed before ” he said with a sigh but I just smile as I wear my boots and grab my mask again. “ hey you should have seen Favour’s face when I stabbed her neck with that bottle I mean it was so lovely ” I said with a cute smile before turning to see his expression which I loved actually. “ are we keeping secrets now? ” he managed to say getting out of his shock. “ you never asked ” I replied fixing my mask perfectly and I hear him just chuckle behind me just proud of his little sister. “ if I may ask what is inside that container? ” finally he did “ well a special type of weapon I got from a friend ” I answered pulling my makeup box. I did the make up perfectly and I brush the wig and glue it to it’s place I turned and cousin can’t seem to recognize me. “ Bolanle I think you should be careful.. you know the.. ” “ I know Primo but not even my mother will recognize me tonight and nothing can stop me ” I opened the container again and rub the substance on my thumb really well. I must get my revenge tonight or never. “ but don’t you think you should take it easy you know the….” before he could complete his statement I’m already out like a flash. * 3hours later * The room is dark except for the light that flickers on and off, the body on the floor stirs as it struggle with the rope and here I come in my real appearance like the devil ? itself. A long flowing gown looks so elegant on me with my long fixed weave that reach my back. He struggles a little more and I remove the gag “ who are you? And why are you doing this to me? ” he cried and that makes me laugh I cut the rope and he just lay like that unable to move again. “ don’t worry you are paralyzed from the waist down you won’t be able to move for some moments ” I said lighting a cigarette. “ Bolanle? ” he said with fear in his voice finally recognizing the devil in front of him smiling and using a knife to draw out some pattern on his face without cutting him. “ don’t worry Kanmi I just wanna play you know the kind of game you’ve been playing ever since we got married ” I said stopping the knife on his neck and cutting him slightly. I lick the blood and from the corner of my eye I can see the horror on his face. “ come to think of it Kanmi today is our tenth wedding anniversary won’t we celebrate? ” I said cutting deeper. To be continued….

Arthur and Eve arrive in Lukh, a town shrouded in eerie silence, where the streets are empty and the air feels staged. The only sign of life is a lone diner, where they encounter Khill, a sharp-witted teenager who hints at something sinister lurking beneath the town’s quiet façade. The locals are either at the Church of the Trinity or taken to a mysterious camp, and their absence feels orchestrated. Things take a darker turn when a man with diamond-cut teeth arrives at the diner. Arthur recognizes him instantly—an infamous cult leader who vanished ten years ago. The town’s history is riddled with disappearances, strange rituals, and a fanatical devotion to a hidden power. Arthur and Eve soon realize they are not just investigating a cult—they are trespassers in a town that has been waiting for them. As they dig deeper, they uncover a secret tied to the Museum of Benardos, where relics and old maps hint at a greater conspiracy. The town was rebuilt unnaturally fast, almost like it had been prepared for something. Arthur’s suspicions are confirmed when the church bells ring out in the dead of night—a hunting call for something ancient and inhuman. Khill, who seems to know more than he lets on, warns them of the Likho, a supernatural entity summoned by the cult to eliminate traitors. As they flee through the fog-drenched streets, they realize the entire town is in on it—the people are either devout followers or too afraid to resist. The deeper they go, the closer they come to uncovering the cult’s true purpose: an ancient sacrifice meant to bring forth something far worse than death. With time running out, Arthur, Eve, and Khill must make a choice—stop the ritual, or become its next victims.

"You're just a Nenner! A glorified blacksmith! You can't possibly stand up against a Zahler's elemental power!" "As if that'll stop me! A Zahler might have the elements under their control, but that won't matter if I have a Seigel-riddled weapon for every occasion!" ⬛⬛⬛ Wesen... the innate power within that allows a person to manipulate the world around them. While it sounded straightforward enough, Rouge still has a lot to learn if he wanted to harness it for his own benefit. Thankfully, being a standard guy with blacksmithing as a hobby had given him a headstart in the new pseudo-medieval world that he now found himself in. In fact, blacksmithing in general is an integral part of his new life and the Wesen-filled wonders that entailed it. It was a good thing too, especially since it would be the one ticket he had to get out of the servitude of the Empire that insisted on grinding him under its heel. With his newfound power of rune-like Seigels at his disposal, Rouge will take the Matheman Empire by storm as he builds his rebellion into a force to be reckoned with. He will ensure that his fellow Nenners will be free from the Empire's oppressive practises, and he sure as hell will do it if it was the last thing he did. Well, that, and he refused to live in a backwater medieval world for longer than he could manage it. His modern sensibilities demanded proper technology, and he was sure that even his half-complete understanding of modern science will give him the edge he needs to take on a literal continent-spanning Empire. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ UPDATES: Daily 19:00 JST Twitter: @ChellyArks

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling

Their lives entwine, not by choice but by the pull of unseen strings, as shadows stretch across the light, and every step seems guided by forces neither can name. In a realm where hope glimmers faintly between cracks of despair, their journey unfolds—a delicate balance of joy and sorrow, of wonder and fear, as they seek to unravel the secrets binding them to the shifting edges of a world that defies understanding. What they find may reshape more than their fates, for some truths are too vast to stay buried, and some destinies too great to remain untold.

One day, I awoke as a raven in the midst of the dark, mysterious world of Norse mythology. My life as a bird was initially uneventful, until I decided to step beyond the boundaries of comfort and embark on an adventure. That was when I met Fenrir, the one who would change everything. She wasn’t just a girl with a wild charm—she was the legendary wolf prophesied to bring about the end of the world, the harbinger of Ragnarok. Yet, behind her grim destiny, I saw something different. Loneliness, rage, and a fierce determination to defy fate. A lot happened before the chains binding Fenrir finally broke. Together, we embarked on a journey fraught with danger, riddles, and an unbreakable bond. What we did went far beyond an ordinary adventure—it was the beginning of a monumental change that would shake the very foundation of Norse mythology forever. Author note: This story is more aimed at exploring Norse mythology. In addition, the author adds a number of elements of ancient Norse history and culture.

We are currently on a hiatus till dec 25th (date is subjective to change if I finish rewriting early) Reason: Currently in the middle of rewriting from ch 1 (better quality) + getting a bit of back log ready for daily ch posts. Thank you so much for following along till now. ——————————————————————— When I fell from that bridge, I thought I was finally going to be free. I have never been more wrong. I woke up in a world shaped by forgotten gods and cursed by powers no mortal can hope to comprehend. The kingdoms here crumble under unseen hands, ancient cards that whisper in forgotten tongues, and somewhere beyond the edge of reality, a jester laughs—his voice carried on winds that no one else can hear. They say fate is a game, and we are the pieces. But the rules are hidden, and the players remain unseen. I’ve seen the signs: spirals twisting in the heart of storms, shadows that stretch when no light falls, statues with eyeless faces that watch… and remember. But there’s something more. A riddle unanswered, a truth buried in the cracks of this broken world: Who holds the reins? Who decides what lives and what dies? I wasn’t the first to stumble into their design. I wasn’t the second. I am the last. I am the end. This is the legend of the pawn who turned the strings of fate. The fable of the twenty-third curse. The legend of the puppeteer.

To save her brother’s life, 18-year-old Anesha made the most selfless and life-altering decision—entering a contract marriage with Devansh Kapoor, the world’s wealthiest, most powerful, and enigmatic business tycoon. Bound by the terms of their agreement, she gave birth to his child, and their relationship ended as swiftly as the contract dictated. For two years, Anesha shared a home with Devansh, yet his face remained a mystery, always concealed behind a mask—a mask that hid more than his identity, shielding the secrets of his enigmatic world. After their divorce, their paths diverged, yet Anesha couldn’t forget him. To her, Devansh was an unsolved riddle—his piercing gaze hinting at untold anguish, his mask concealing truths she couldn’t fathom, and his aloof cruelty betraying a hidden tenderness. Will fate draw Anesha back into Devansh’s shadowed world? Can she unveil the secrets he has so carefully buried? Or will his cold, relentless passion destroy her fragile heart once more? A tale of love, sacrifice, and untold truths, where every revelation peels back another layer of mystery, and every twist deepens the fire of forbidden desire.

Manuscripts—the name given to unfinished novels in a celestial system governed by an omniscient god. Each completed story becomes a living, breathing world, where characters have destinies and journeys woven with care. But Manuscripts? These are fractured worlds, doomed to stagnate. Their characters wander endlessly, unable to fulfill their purpose, trapped in an eternal loop of unresolved tales. The god, who treasures every story, refused to let these realms wither. Thus, he created the Catalyst System, a divine mechanism to fix broken worlds. Transmigrators, called Catalysts, are chosen to enter these incomplete narratives, steering them toward their rightful conclusions. Kiyel, a 16-year-old boy from Earth, is offered a second chance after dying from relentless bullying. His task: enter a Manuscript riddled with chaos and restore its broken story. But Manuscripts are more than abandoned worlds—they are places of danger, filled with forgotten characters, clashing destinies, and hidden threats. As the line between the story’s world and his own existence begins to blur, Kiyel is forced to confront a harrowing question: can he complete the novel, or will he become just another lost character in its unfinished pages?

“I will join the army.” A bold declaration, perhaps one of patriotism and youthful ambition. But when the words come from the youngest daughter of one of the city's wealthiest families, they become a storm that disrupts a world of privilege and comfort. Xu Jin Lin was the pampered princess of her household, a life sheltered by luxury and adoration. With three protective brothers and a father who ruled the business world, she never knew hardship.

What sacrifices shaped the woman she’s become? As she navigates the challenges of reintegration, whispers follow her every step. Her past missions are locked away in classified files, her future riddled with questions. Can Xu Jin Lin reconcile the girl she used to be with the soldier she’s become? Or will the call of her former life—and the expectations of her family—pull her back into the golden cage she fought so hard to escape?
