When creatures thought to be mythical suddenly begin an assault on Earth, the world's nations band together to devise a plan to counter them. Some share information on building powerful weapons, while others provide manpower. Unfortunately, humanity does not stand a chance against an enemy that has been hiding since ancient times. Driven into a corner, humans retreated into Undercity, the last stronghold of the human race. Due to its location in a large underground cavern, Undercity has managed to avoid destruction. Here, civilians can live fairly normal lives, and some have forgotten about the war. A group of scholars devised a method to mimic the abilities of mythical creatures, but learning to use them effectively and safely proved difficult, so they locked away all their research. Theo has only his mother left and is terrified of losing her. Desperate to protect her, he dedicates all his free time to researching the scholars who founded Undercity, hoping to unearth the secrets they left behind. One day, he finds an old rusty dagger hidden in the hollowed-out hollowed-out pages of an encyclopedia printed before the start of the war. This dagger held many secrets, and Theo lost his head while decyphering them. "It's time to go for a midnight walk." "Reap a soul within 4 hours." "Where's your head?"

After a failed mission results in the death of his entire unit and he is granted the Hollow Core System, low-ranking C-Class Chosen, Kael Solis, becomes the suspect of his own murder and embarks on a quest to uncover a conspiracy involving the government and the origins of the Hollow infection, creatures born from the poisonous Hollow Sun.

Luo Huian was the most beautiful, strong and narcissistic——- Cut! Cut! Cut! Take two, and do it over. Luo Huian was the most beautiful, strong and wisest immortal in the realm of peace and harmony. Her two fathers doted on her, and she had a generous supply of resources and pills. Her life was perfect. However, her perfect life came to an abrupt end when Luo Huian, an immortal whose responsibility was to bring peace to those who had reached their ends and had run out of faith—— Watched a man jump down a building. Because of her inflexible beliefs and sense of justice, she did not save the bully. Unfortunately, that man was the son of the heavens. The loss of his life brought infinite trouble in Luo Huian’s life and she was punished by the heavens. She was sent to the world of humans where she had to rescue at least five hundred people by saving their lives when they were at the end of their wits. For an immortal this was an easy job, right? Wrong. Her grandmother sent Luo Huian to a world where Gloom Rocks had wrecked chaos. Beasts and monsters were given birth to by the Gloom Rocks that sucked every ounce of happiness from humans. This world was dominated by hunters who could kill the beasts with the powers that they had awakened. And in this cutthroat world, Luo Huian got the short end of the stick. She woke up in the body of an F-class hunter! Dang it. If that wasn’t worse enough, the previous owner had confessed to her cousin-in-law and was kicked out of the family. Double frog in the hot crock. With not a single penny in her pocket Luo Huian goes out to complete her mission. But what would happen when Luo Huian who was an F-class hunter annihilated the Z-class Glooms and Hollows that even the S-class hunters could not? Watch her fend against the dangers and at the same time save the lives of people. But in this small mission, there is a small obstruction —— The three alluring temptations. *********** Resisting the temptation take 1: “MMPH,” Luo Huian pushed against the mer who had pushed her down on the bed while sitting on her waist. “Get off.” “I can’t,” answered Qi Yongrui as he took off his shirt. “Daddy Shun said that he is envious of Uncle Wang. He also wants to hold a grandchild. So, wife let's work hard tonight alright?” Luo Huian: Dear Heavens save me, I am a woman of no desire! **** Resisting the temptation take 2: “Do you think he is good looking?” Fan Meilin questioned the woman who stood next to him. Even though he was the one who won the race and the trophy, his wife was looking at the other mer. “Well yes,” Luo Huian, who was an appreciator of beauty, agreed at once. “Why are you asking this though?” Fan Meilin’s eyes flashed as he smiled at her and leaned in closer to her body as he whispered in her ear, “He might be good looking but I am a better driver. Not only on the track but also in bed, do you want to try darling?” Luo Huian: Resist the temptation! At all costs! I am an iron-hearted woman. ***** Resisting the temptation take 3: “Is this necessary?” Luo Huian questioned as she sat on the couch, watching the mer trace his fingers on her curves while she sat in nothing but modern swimwear. The mer nodded as he wrote on his small notepad, “I need to trace every inch of your skin to create my finest creation, so don’t move.” After he finished writing, he handed the notepad to Luo Huian, his fingers brushing against the curve of her bosom, waist and ——— Luo Huian: My virtue is at extreme risk! ** Fl who is trying to do everything to save her virtue from being taken as it would slow down her cultivation X Mls who are trying their best to snatch it from her. *********** Trigger warning: though the book is set in a comedic setting, there might be some uneasy topics that would discuss depression and loneliness. ***********

Ten years ago, the world was captivated by a groundbreaking VR MMORPG, a fully immersive experience that allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary heroes in a realm of magic and wonder. For a decade, they built their lives, forged their identities, and left their marks on what they thought was just a game. But when the servers shut down, the truth shattered everything. The game world wasn’t just a virtual reality, it was a fabricated timeline, a fragile imitation of the true Magic world . And now, the countdown has begun. The players, ripped from their lives on Earth and the simulation, find themselves in the Magic World, ten years younger but burdened with all the memories of the game and their old lives. Their in-game personas, once vibrant and driven by purpose, are now hollow shells, unable to act on their own. Even worse, Earth’s timeline fragile and unprotected has been paused, and its collapse is inevitable. To prevent disaster, the 10 Originals, the most renowned players of the game, must rise once more. But this time, there are no systems to guide them, no respawns, and no safety nets. The high realm is real, its dangers far deadlier than any raid boss. And as the countdown ticks away, inconsistencies between the worlds begin to unravel reality itself. Thrown into a world they don’t fully understand, hunted by their own past mistakes, and racing against time to stop the collapse of Earth’s timeline, the Originals must uncover the secrets of the game’s creation and find a way to stabilize the Magic World. The clock is ticking, and the fate of three worlds rests on their shoulders. Will the Originals be able to fix the chaos they caused, or will everything they fought for crumble into nothingness?

Luo Huian adalah yang paling cantik, kuat, dan narsistik——- Potong! Potong! Potong! Ambil dua, dan ulangi. Luo Huian adalah yang paling cantik, kuat, dan bijaksana yang abadi dalam alam kedamaian dan harmoni. Kedua ayahnya sangat menyayanginya, dan dia memiliki banyak sumber daya dan pil. Kehidupannya sempurna. Namun, kehidupan sempurnanya berakhir tiba-tiba ketika Luo Huian, seorang abadi yang bertanggung jawab membawa kedamaian bagi mereka yang telah mencapai akhir dan kehabisan keyakinan—— Menyaksikan seorang pria melompat dari gedung. Karena kepercayaannya yang kaku dan rasa keadilannya, dia tidak menyelamatkan si pengganggu. Sayangnya, pria tersebut adalah anak dari surga. Kehilangan nyawanya membawa masalah tak terbatas dalam kehidupan Luo Huian dan dia dihukum oleh surga. Dia dikirim ke dunia manusia di mana dia harus menyelamatkan setidaknya lima ratus orang dengan menyelamatkan nyawa mereka ketika mereka berada di ujung akal sehat mereka. Untuk seorang abadi ini adalah pekerjaan yang mudah, bukan? Salah. Neneknya mengirim Luo Huian ke dunia di mana Batu Kegelapan telah menciptakan kekacauan. Binatang dan monster dilahirkan oleh Batu Kegelapan yang menghisap setiap ons kebahagiaan dari manusia. Dunia ini didominasi oleh pemburu yang dapat membunuh binatang dengan kekuatan yang telah mereka bangkitkan. Dan di dunia yang kejam ini, Luo Huian mendapat bagian yang paling buruk. Dia bangun dalam tubuh pemburu kelas-F! Sialan. Jika itu belum cukup buruk, pemilik sebelumnya telah mengakui kepada sepupu perempuannya dan diusir dari keluarga. Ganda katak dalam pot panas. Dengan tidak sedikit pun uang di sakunya Luo Huian keluar untuk menyelesaikan misinya. Tapi apa yang akan terjadi ketika Luo Huian yang adalah pemburu kelas-F membasmi Glooms and Hollows kelas-Z yang bahkan pemburu kelas-S pun tidak bisa? Lihat dia melawan bahaya dan pada saat yang sama menyelamatkan nyawa orang-orang. Tapi dalam misi kecil ini, ada halangan kecil —— Tiga godaan yang memikat. *********** Melawan godaan ambil 1: “MMPH,” Luo Huian mendorong mer yang telah menekannya ke tempat tidur sambil duduk di pinggangnya. "Turun." “Saya tidak bisa,” jawab Qi Yongrui saat dia melepas bajunya. “Ayah Shun bilang dia iri dengan Paman Wang. Dia juga ingin memeluk cucu. Jadi, istri ayo kita kerja keras malam ini, oke?” Luo Huian: Tuhanku selamatkan aku, aku adalah perempuan tanpa keinginan! **** Melawan godaan ambil 2: “Menurutmu dia tampan?” tanya Fan Meilin kepada wanita yang berdiri di sebelahnya. Meski dia yang memenangkan perlombaan dan piala, istrinya malah melihat mer lain. “Ya tentu,” Luo Huian, yang merupakan penikmat keindahan, segera setuju. “Tapi mengapa kamu bertanya?” Mata Fan Meilin berkilat saat dia tersenyum pada Luo dan mendekatkan tubuhnya sambil berbisik di telinganya, “Dia mungkin tampak tampan tapi saya adalah pengendara yang lebih baik. Tidak hanya di jalur tapi juga di tempat tidur, apakah kamu mau mencoba sayang?” Luo Huian: Lawan godaan! Biaya apa pun! Saya adalah wanita berhati baja. ***** Melawan godaan ambil 3: “Apakah ini perlu?” tanya Luo Huian saat duduk di sofa, menonton mer melacak jarinya di lengkungan tubuhnya sambil dia duduk hanya dengan pakaian renang modern. Mer itu mengangguk saat dia menulis di notepad kecilnya, “Saya perlu melacak setiap inci kulit Anda untuk menciptakan karya terbaik saya, jadi jangan bergerak.” Setelah selesai menulis, dia menyerahkan notepad kepada Luo Huian, jarinya menyentuh lekukan dada, pinggangnya dan ——— Luo Huian: Kesucianku berada dalam risiko besar! ** Fl yang berusaha melakukan segalanya untuk menyelamatkan kesuciannya dari diambil karena itu akan memperlambat kultivasinya X Mls yang berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk merebutnya darinya. *********** Peringatan pemicu: meskipun buku ini diatur dalam pengaturan komedi, mungkin ada beberapa topik yang tidak nyaman yang akan membahas depresi dan kesepian. ***********

In the shadow-cloaked village of Thorn Hollow, where the woods hum with secrets and children vanish into the dark, seventeen-year-old Elara Veyne is cursed twice over: by the villagers who blame her for every withered crop and empty cradle, and by the Thorn Pendant she wears—a relic of her mother’s disappearance, now pulsing with a corrupting heat. When the forest’s whispers sharpen into a song only she can hear, Elara defies the mob’s fury to follow it, dragging along Kael, the blacksmith’s sardonic son, whose loyalty is as much a mystery as the Veil itself. What they find is no mere nightmare. A forgotten temple, slick with ancient blood, reveals a truth that claws at Elara’s veins: her mother was no victim, but a traitor. The Veil, a living barrier between worlds, is fraying, and the Veyne women have always been its keepers—each generation bound by thorn and sacrifice to weave its thread. Now, the same rot that devoured Elara’s mother spreads through her, blackening her blood, as Shadowfangs stalk the woods and the stolen children scream from beyond the Veil. To mend it, Elara must become the anchor her ancestors feared, her soul stitched into the thorns. But the Veil is no lifeless wall. It hungers. It remembers. And it whispers promises: of power, of vengeance, of a truth that could unravel Kael’s faith and turn Elara’s sacrifice into a weapon for the twisted gods who crave the Veil’s fall. The deeper they dig, the clearer the choice—bleed for a world that hates her, or let it burn. But some secrets are sharp enough to cut both ways.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]

Each time death claims him, he is reborn at a predetermined “save point,” trapped in an endless cycle of loss and renewal. For centuries, this cruel fate has forced him to witness countless lives, battles, and betrayals, each rebirth etching deeper scars on his soul.

Ethan Vale was nothing special. A university dropout, a shut-in obsessed with brutal, punishing RPGs, and a man who knew strategy better than he knew real life. But when his screen flickered with an ominous error message and the world around him shattered, he awoke in a land that should not exist—The Hollow Domain, a place where gods have long since died, where eldritch horrors rule, and where kingdoms of the damned crumble beneath an unending curse. He had no weapons. No powers. No divine destiny. But he had intelligence—and the curse of resurrection. Every time he dies, he returns to the same ruined citadel, his body restored but his mind forever scarred. Pain is not a fleeting experience here—it is absolute, relentless, and unforgettable. Every death is a lesson written in agony, each resurrection a cruel reset in an unforgiving world. The creatures here do not simply kill; they break. They torment. They consume. Survival is not guaranteed. Sanity is optional. But Ethan is determined to carve a path through the madness, to outthink the horrors that lurk in the shadows, and to uncover the truth behind the Hollow Domain. Because something is watching him. Something is waiting. And it wants him to suffer.

In the shadow-draped hills of rural Massachusetts lies Blackthorn Hollow—a town forgotten by maps, where the pines whisper secrets and the stars watch with a hunger no mortal can name. Dr. Eleanor Voss, a sharp-witted folklorist with a penchant for unraveling the unexplained, answers a cryptic letter begging for her expertise. But what begins as an academic curiosity soon spirals into a fight for survival. The townsfolk guard their history with suspicious silence. The woods hum with unnatural rhythms. And the ancient standing stones at the edge of the Blackthorn estate pulse with a malevolent energy that seems to recognize Eleanor. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a legacy of forbidden rituals, a bloodline cursed by its own ambition, and a haunting truth that ties her own past to the Hollow’s darkest secret. But the closer Eleanor gets to the truth, the more the line between savior and sacrifice blurs. Whispers follow her in the dark. Shadows move with purpose. And the deeper she ventures into the Hollow’s heart, the clearer it becomes: some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.

Ein was a hitman on hire. A killer, a shadow, a death with insomnia, if you may. He had witnessed countless pairs of eyes dim as the light of life faded, leaving nothing but vile hollowness. Needless to say, the sight of a soul popping out of the dead body was a first. And it wasn't just any soul. It was the dead heir of Byers Holdings, the same guy he killed with his own hands. Turns out the rich boy Adriel had a horribly irritating and loud soul, but worst of it all - impossible to get rid of. Who would have thought that killing on a blue moon night could lead to being haunted?

Adrian’s resolve is tested, and his past—hidden in the darkest corners of his mind—will come to the surface, threatening to destroy him from within. In a world where trust is scarce, and betrayal is always a breath away, Adrian must face the darkness—both external and internal—if he hopes to survive the Hollow’s embrace.

"In the spaces between ones and zeros, worlds are born and die at the whim of their creators. Each keystroke births new lands, each click shapes civilizations, and every careful adjustment weaves the fabric of reality itself. Time flows differently in these digital realms—centuries can pass in moments, while a single day might stretch across millennia. Within these spaces, creators are gods, architects of existence who breathe life into empty bytes, crafting histories that span eons and cultures that echo through carefully constructed time. " Before a glowing screen in a quiet room, Estelle sat in front of a monitor displaying the map of the World of Astris. Her eyes were hollow with exhaustion, finger hovering over the deletion prompt—just a single click could wipe away twelve years of creation in an instant. What began as an escape had become a prison, each of its 67,934 item files a weight upon her shoulders, every revision another chain binding her to this digital realm. Yet as she prepared to end it all, an unexpected option presented itself, one that would blur the line between creator and creation in ways she never imagined.

"Forced to Be Yours, Mr. Devil" In the cutthroat world of business, Rudra Singhaniya, a powerful and enigmatic CEO, is known for his cold demeanor and ruthless decisions. But behind the successful facade lies a man burdened by past wounds and a life dictated by duty. Unbeknownst to the world, Rudra enters into a secret marriage with Anaya Malhotra, a young and innocent woman caught in the web of family expectations and societal pressure. Anaya, just twenty years old, finds herself thrust into a life she never imagined. Her marriage to Rudra is shrouded in mystery, known only to a select few, and kept hidden from the prying eyes of the public. While Rudra maintains a cold distance, Anaya struggles to navigate her new reality, torn between the fear of her husband’s icy exterior and the growing confusion of her feelings. As the media frenzy erupts over Rudra’s supposed single status and the shocking revelation of his broken engagement with Nisha Ahuja, the Singhaniya family must navigate the delicate balance of protecting their reputation while managing the fallout. The situation becomes even more complex as it is revealed that Nisha herself is secretly married to another man, Raj Chauhan, adding another layer of scandal to the already chaotic narrative. Within the walls of the Singhaniya estate, family dynamics shift as secrets are unearthed and alliances are tested. Komal Singhaniya, the matriarch, strives to maintain order, insisting that Anaya embrace her new role and move into Rudra’s room—a symbolic step towards accepting her marriage.

Reincarnated into the brutal desert realm of Verkath, Kael—a man who chose death over cancer in his past life—awakens as a nameless driftling, hunted by slavers and corrupted magic. Bound to an ancient pendant that whispers of a forgotten scholar, Ilthara, Kael discovers he can wield Veil-Thread—a volatile energy that heals or hollows those who touch it. But Verkath’s tyrants, the Bloodmarked Houses, and the monstrous Hollow King—a driftling consumed by Thread’s power—see him as a key to dominance. Torn between survival and the pendant’s urge to reignite Ilthara’s lost legacy, Kael must decide: embrace the Thread’s addictive power and risk becoming a monster, or die as prey in a world where mercy is extinction.

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.
