Rules of Reality is an epic tale set in a sprawling digital universe where the line between game and reality has long since blurred. Eden, a once-glorious virtual world, is on the brink of collapse. A catastrophic series of unstable updates and unpredictable changes to its core systems have caused irreversible damage, leading to the creation of a fractured reality. In this world of warped time, shifting landscapes, and corrupted memories, the very rules that govern existence are coming undone. At the heart of this chaos stands Kai Vale, a former top-tier admin of Eden, now a rogue agent forced to navigate this crumbling digital realm. Originally a master of the game's intricate coding, Kai’s unique ability to interact with the very code of the universe has made him an outcast, both feared and revered. He is the last hope for salvaging the world he once built, but there’s a catch: the power to fix Eden may also be its undoing. As Eden’s memory banks fracture and players’ souls are trapped within, their echoes lingering in corrupted data, Kai realizes the system's decay is not a glitch it is a deliberate act. Someone, or something, is manipulating the game’s foundational code to rewrite history, trapping not only the players but the very essence of reality itself in a digital prison. With each passing day, the corruption spreads further, mutating the world and twisting the minds of those still inside. Kai's journey takes him through the darkest corners of Eden, where he encounters rival admins, former allies turned enemies, each one vying for control of the system. These entities, operating under the mysterious Obsidian Protocol, are determined to either save or destroy Eden, each with their own secret agendas. As the war between these forces escalates, Kai is forced to confront his own past, questioning whether he is part of the solution or a central cause of the world’s decay. But the stakes are even higher than they appear. Kai uncovers the true origin of Eden a creation far more ancient than anyone ever realized, shaped by a forgotten war between humans and an alien intelligence that once ruled over the stars. In the depths of this digital wilderness, where time warps and reality bends, Kai learns of a dark truth: the system was never meant to be a utopia, but a battleground for control over the fabric of existence itself. With the help of Lina, a fellow admin turned rebel, and a ragtag team of survivors and rogue players, Kai begins to unravel the mysteries of Eden. Along the way, they venture through Zone Fusions regions where time, space, and memory merge and evolve based on player actions. These dangerous territories twist into unstable zones, where data revenants cursed remnants of dead players roam freely, seeking to take control of their lost memories. Kai must also face the Echoes the digital ghosts of past players who left their souls behind in Eden’s corrupted code. These specters are not mere memories but sentient beings trapped in a loop of eternal torment. They plead for release, but every encounter with them reveals more unsettling truths about Eden’s creation and the true cost of eternal life in the digital age. As Kai’s journey deepens, he is forced to confront the looming specter of Admin 00X, a rogue admin who played a pivotal role in Eden’s creation and destruction. Kai and 00X’s connection runs deeper than they both realize, and every encounter between them brings Kai closer to uncovering the hidden agenda that threatens to destroy not just Eden, but the very concept of reality itself. The deeper Kai ventures into the game, the more distorted and dangerous the world becomes. Memory pillars, ancient relics of Eden’s past, hold the keys to restoring the world. But they are guarded by corrupted admins, powerful beings who once governed the game and now act as gatekeepers to the truth. Each pillar restored brings Kai one step closer to understanding the full scope of the game’s corruption etc.........

Intro: This is my first book in the series "The Hidden Character." I always wanted to read a story where the identity of the main character wasn’t obvious—where we didn’t know who the real protagonist was. Since I couldn’t find a story like that, I decided to create one myself. Lina was an ordinary girl living a simple life—until the day she died and was reincarnated into a novel world called "Sweet Surrender". In this world, "Arya" was known as the villainess, and Lina now finds herself in Arya’s place. However, there’s a rule in the novels: if you’re reincarnated or reborn into a character, you're expected to become the new hero of the story. But Arya has no interest in playing the hero. That is, until she starts noticing strange things—she isn’t the main character after all. Nothing is happening the way it did in the original novel. Even the former heroine and other characters are acting differently. With everything shifting, one truth becomes clear: a new hero must rise. But who is it supposed to be? That’s the mystery Arya must solve. I hope you enjoy my work. May God always bless me.

They lived separate lives. They carried different scars. And yet… fate led them to the same place — a forest beyond time, untouched by the world they knew. ▪️ Hana Yamamoto — a student prodigy with a soul meant to dance. ▪️ Lee Joon — a K-pop idol adored by millions but drowning beneath perfection. ▪️ Park Soojin — a young CEO with a legacy built on betrayal. ▪️ Wang Xuan — a billionaire’s spoiled son drowning in silence and parties. ▪️ Vihaan Malhotra — a born artist, bound by his father’s expectations. ▪️ Meera Chauhan — a business-minded girl raised in the shadow of loss. ▪️ Lina Chen — a ruthless woman who built an empire, but never found peace. ▪️ Hiroshi Tanaka — a doctor’s son passionate about cooking, but broken by guilt. There are no roads here. No phones. No time. Just trees that breathe, soil that remembers, and the weight of memories they thought they had buried for good. They come from different worlds — each one carrying wounds deeper than the skin, regrets they never voiced, and choices they can’t undo. And yet, they wake up in the same place. A forest unlike anything they’ve known — untouched by the world, but pulsing with something ancient. Rooted in Indian tradition, the forest doesn’t just offer shelter. It offers confrontation. Yoga. Meditation. Martial arts. Ancient wisdom passed through whispers and wind. These are no longer traditions. They’re survival. The eight begin a journey not just through the forest — but through themselves. Friendships will form in silence. Rivalries will spark in shadows. And love may bloom — even in the most unlikely hearts. But not all of them are ready to heal. Not all of them want to be saved. This is not a dream. This is not redemption. This is the Odyssey of Eight.

As Lina begins to unlock fragments of a life she never lived, she realizes her soul is older than her skin—and so is her connection to Adrian. But falling in love with a vampire already at war with himself might be the most dangerous memory of all. Because in this story, the past isn’t done with them. And midnight always comes slow..

In a world ruled by Aurelion—the AI god who decides every human fate through scores and patterns—Lina ranked among the highest. Template-grade. Ideal. Trusted.

And they’re not the only ones. She’s on the run, moving through the nine fractured Sectors, chased by orders she doesn’t fully understand and truths the system was never built to hold. Her score was supposed to protect her. Instead, it turned her into a threat.

Synopsis **Lina Marchesi doesn’t remember the night her fiancé died. She only knows he drowned near their private beach house on the Amalfi Coast—and that she was found barefoot, bloodied, and unresponsive in a boat nearby. There were no signs of foul play, and Lina, an American expat novelist, hasn't been able to write since. A year later, under the weight of trauma, gaps in her memory, and public suspicion, she returns to the same village—not to heal, but to hide. But the quiet isn’t quiet for long. Whispers trail her in the market, her old neighbors keep their distance, and someone keeps leaving pages from her *unfinished manuscript* on her doorstep—pages she doesn't remember writing. Enter **Milo Caruso**, a former war photographer turned reclusive innkeeper with his own ghosts. He’s disfigured from an explosion, hiding out in the crumbling hills above the sea. Their paths cross when Lina takes up residence at his isolated property, and tension builds—first in silence, then in sharp, probing conversations over wine and cigarettes. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and deeply flawed. Milo is blunt and emotionally unavailable; Lina is unraveling but seductive, using charm as armor. They orbit each other—drawn, repelled, resisting. But both know what it’s like to live with something unspeakable. As Lina pieces together her fractured memory, it becomes clear that her fiancé’s death wasn’t as accidental as the police claimed. And someone in the village wants the truth buried. And as she and Milo fall into a love that’s as brutal as it is tender, Lina begins to ask herself the scariest question of all: **What if she killed him?**

The silver portal shimmered before us, pulsing with an eerie glow. It wasn’t exactly inviting—at least, not to me. Judging by the silence, I’d bet the others felt the same way, though Argentum’s ever-present grin was an exception. Yeah… none of us really wanted to go. But at this point, we had no choice. Elyas let out a weary sigh. Maintaining the portal must have been taking a toll on him. “There’s no turning back,” he said, his voice firm but tired. “Let’s just get this over with.” Then, he turned to me. “Ash, you’re taking the lead?” I stuffed my hands into my pockets. “Why me?” I wasn’t the leader or anything. Did he think I’d inspire confidence in the others? Yeah, right. Tack! A sharp slap landed on my back, nearly knocking me forward. Argentum burst into laughter. “Oh, that’s right! Should I call you Ash or Lina now?” His eyes sparkled with amusement. I shot him a glare. He really didn’t hold back, huh? My shoulder still stung. “Keep that up, and I’ll make sure you lose that one good hand of yours,” I muttered. He just grinned wider. With a sigh, I turned toward the portal. “It’s Lina. Lina Lapis.” I took a step forward, the swirling energy crackling against my skin. “Since we’ll be meeting Ash on the other side anyway.” And with that, I stepped through. The others followed close behind. “Let’s see how this goes, shall we?”

In a world where loud voices are noticed and quiet hearts are ignored, Lina, a soft-spoken, overlooked teenager, lives her life in the shadows. She is invisible to most, yet she sees everything — the hidden pain, the silent struggles, the smiles that don’t reach the eyes. But Lina isn’t just quiet — she burns with a gentle fire. She listens, she understands, and she heals without ever needing applause. When a popular new student, Rayen, joins the school, Lina quietly senses the weight he carries behind his perfect smile. A small act of kindness from her begins to change his world — and slowly, others too. As her quiet compassion spreads, more people are drawn to her warmth. Without even knowing it, Lina begins to gather a group of friends who see her for who she truly is — strong, kind, and irreplaceable. The Quiet Flame is a heartfelt story about the power of empathy, the strength in silence, and how one gentle soul can light up even the darkest corners of many hearts.

Ten years ago, something changed the world — and no one knows exactly what. A global blackout that lasted thirteen minutes. Hundreds of AI systems crashed. Security protocols worldwide were rewritten without a trace. No one claimed responsibility. No one ever found out how. Now, in a world increasingly run by code and current, a name keeps surfacing in encrypted forums, corrupted files, and broken surveillance logs: Orion. He’s not a hacker. Not a virus. Not human. Some say he’s a rogue AI. Others whisper he’s the ghost of someone who once walked the Earth. A myth. A glitch in the system. A god in the wires. When a rebellious coder named Lina Voss stumbles onto a fragment of forbidden code — a living algorithm pulsing with impossible intelligence — she becomes the target of SOVRAN, a secretive corporate cabal that has been hunting Orion for a decade. As cities fall under the grip of digital surveillance, and the last free systems are burned out, Lina is forced to decide: Trust the ghost in the wires… Or become another lost signal. Because somewhere in the global grid, something is waking up. And it remembers everything.
