A world where the veil between reality and nightmare has shattered, monsters now prowl the streets of Tokyo after sundown. Humanity’s last line of defense lies with the Nightguard Corps—an elite force trained to fight back the horrors that emerge in the darkness. Divided into five powerful divisions, each unit faces death nightly to preserve the fragile peace of the waking world. Lucien, a mysterious teenager who first was a homeless orphan from the age of 3 now is gifted with divine powers by the Creator of Gods. He is told that he is the vessel for the God of Vengeance. He finds himself dragged into this war after barely surviving a monster attack. Taken in by the Nightguard Corps, he endures brutal training, deadly trials, and soul-shattering tests of character. But even after surviving the legendary Death Trial—a fight to the death against a monstrous abomination no one has ever lived through—Lucien is denied his rightful place. Only through the loyalty of newfound friends and a second chance at fate does Lucien rise again. Now a full-fledged member of Division Five—a small but growing squad consisting of Rylen, Jason, Emiluna, and himself—Lucien begins his new life among comrades who treat him like family. With each passing mission, his power evolves—telekinesis, superhuman strength, mental perception, and the mysterious divine force known as Purgeflame—a holy fire that burns through corruption itself. But peace is short-lived. Haunted by the power inside him and hunted by the beings beyond comprehension, Lucien must face not only the monsters outside—but the ones buried deep within himself. Because the truth is clear: Lucien wasn’t just chosen by a god. He may have been created to kill them. Average words are around 1.8k to 2k.

The world didn't end with a bang, but with a terrifying, agonizing stretch. Now, under a perpetually bruised sky stained by an ominous, unblinking red counter, humanity fights for every breath against an army of rapidly evolving infected and a planet that warps and shifts beneath their very feet. Kael, an utterly average guy whose biggest challenge used to be assembling furniture, thought he was utterly doomed—until a mysterious, transparent panel flickered into existence before his eyes. No grand destiny, no heroic call, just a sleek, silent interface that promises one thing: **Amplify (x1)**. From turning a flimsy broomstick into a marginally less flimsy weapon to making stale rations slightly more palatable, Kael's peculiar "cheat sheet" offers meager, often comically underwhelming, enhancements in a world where every fraction of an advantage is life-saving. But as the line between survivor and monster blurs, and the infected grow terrifyingly smarter, Kael quickly learns that even a small edge demands a heavy price. He's forced to navigate a brutal landscape filled with more than just the undead: there are the ruthless warlords carving out their fiefdoms, the desperate pioneers trying to rebuild, and the hidden psychopaths lurking in the shadows. Amidst this escalating chaos, Kael finds himself caught in a fragile alliance with **Elena**, a no-nonsense ex-cop whose tactical brilliance and hidden potential might rival his own strange gift. But she's just one piece of a larger, more dangerous puzzle. As he struggles to understand his own newfound ability and its limits, Kael will cross paths with other formidable women—survivors forged in the crucible of the apocalypse, each with their own unique, powerful skills and unbreakable wills. Not all of them will be allies, nor will they be easily swayed. Some are as lethal as the infected themselves, and others hold secrets that could reshape this broken new world. In an apocalypse where power means everything, and life is terrifyingly cheap, Kael's "cheat Sheet" isn't a guaranteed win—it's just enough to make things interesting. And terrifyingly, irresistibly alive.

“You shouldn’t walk around in that nightwear.” His voice was low—closer than it should’ve been. I didn’t have time to turn. His hand slid up my thigh before I could even breathe. My grip on the counter tightened like it might save me. “Alpha—” Elyssa was the traitor’s daughter—unmated, unloved, and wolf-less. A pack slave. A pretty shadow. Easy to overlook. Until war turned her world into ash and dropped her in the dungeon of the most feared Alpha alive. Kaelith Drenor—cursed, ruthless, and completely unprepared for the girl with haunted green eyes who made his blood burn and his beast obey. He doesn’t know why he can’t stay away. She doesn’t know she’s his mate. And no one knows her wolf is waking up. When she shifts, the world will feel it. And so will he.

Accustomed to conquest in both business and romance, he's never met a challenge he couldn't charm his way through—until a falling wrench nearly takes his head off and brings him face-to-face with Wittawin. The stubborn, brilliant computer engineer is everything Teeradon finds irresistible: fair-skinned, sharp-featured, with lips that could stop traffic and a figure that certainly stops the CEO in his tracks.

For the first time in his life, Teeradon finds himself chasing someone who genuinely doesn't want to be caught. What begins as wounded pride quickly transforms into something deeper.

Yeah, right," Wittawin counters.

"Speak, where did you learn this skill from." Mira got down straight to business, A'ting was lying there unable to move even a muscle. A'lo quickly destroyed a summoning bead and headed to help A'ting. Despite knowing, she was an opponent they won't be able to defeat. They wouldn't give up nor accept any humiliation inflicted upon them or that'll reflect too poorly to their master was their mindset. Kryll sensing that his disciples were in trouble he quickly rushed out of the inn. When he reached, the two of them were laid there beneath the foot of Mira. All the things he had once thought back in the inn felt like a lie. He was consumed by anger, his two disciples had been beaten to the point of being crippled. A'lo's foundation was destroyed while A'ting was still struggling to breathe. Without uttering a single sentence, Kryll went and attacked Mira unleashing his blade. Mira had already sensed the killing aura and when Kryll had attacked she quickly countered it. But the impact send her flying a few feet away. She was surprised someone younger than her had managed to push her back. While she was in thought, Kryll quickly stuffed in a pill in each of the two and started healing them. "You think I'll watch you heal members of the demon? Not a chance!" Mira snapped and slashed forward. Kryll expecting all of it took hold of the two and teleport away. No matter how angry he was, he won't risk the life of the two as long as they had hopes of surviving. A'ting recovered enough energy to sit up but A'lo had completely been crippled. At this moment, the stage was currently in shambles while soldiers crowded the area. "Search for the three! Kill those who shelter them!" Mira gave out her orders firmly to the surrounding guards which quickly dispersed. "A'ting, take care of your brother and don't worry, I've placed a formation here, so you won't be harmed as long as you're in this house." "Master, disciple will heed your words!" A'ting quickly knelt and watched his master leave the house. Kryll was determined this time, he would definitely teach that girl Mira to know how to appreciate life. He was afraid she might stoop down so low she would fall. He didn't understand why he was concerned for her. Furthermore, he was angered, yes, but he still can't bring himself to even think of killing her which disturbed him deeply. He approached Mira who was still inspecting the stage, she had no clue how he disappeared every time but she knew she had to get to the bottom of it, or she'll never be able to kill the demon. "Are you sure you want to expose your back to an enemy?" Kryll said still a trace of anger in the words he was emitting. Like he said, if he had just attacked as soon as he arrived. He had a high chance of inflicting fatal damage to her. Mira was surprised, she hadn't been paying attention and she also knew she had a chance of dying if he had attacked which made her more vigilant. "Speak, where did you learn this skill from." Mira got down straight to business, A'ting was lying there unable to move even a muscle. A'lo quickly destroyed a summoning bead and headed to help A'ting.

She buried her pain behind flour-dusted counters and the comforting rhythm of her bakery, Sweet Haven. Business was booming, but her heart remained closed—locked tight from a love that once meant everything. Then came Andre—charming, mysterious, and infuriatingly familiar. He wasn’t just a blast from the past; he was the one who left her shattered. Now he's back, with secrets in his eyes and apologies on his lips. But Sandra isn't the same woman he walked away from. She’s stronger. Wiser. And not so easily swayed. As old sparks reignite and hidden truths unravel, Sandra must decide: can she truly forgive? Or will loving him again mean risking the very heart she fought so hard to reclaim?

Nin-Ran-Gi is a futuristic dystopian world ruled by a single nation under one authoritarian government, controlled entirely by powerful chaebols known as High Chaebols—corporate conglomerates that own everything from infrastructure to information. Society is plagued by rampant crime: narcotics, human trafficking, mass murder, kidnapping, and unspeakable atrocities. At the heart of the chaos are vicious outlaw factions and criminal syndicates known collectively as the Sinners—masterminds of terror and destruction. Their brutal massacres have pushed civilisation to the brink, turning once-safe cities into warzones. Though the Special Security Counter Bureau Force (SSCBF) was established to contain the threat, their efforts have fallen short. The streets remain perilous. Justice feels like a relic of the past. Amid the decay, a lone figure emerges: Agent-90—a notorious and deadly assassin, emotionless yet precise. Neither hero nor villain, he operates outside in shadows where the law doesn’t work properly, targeting the Sinners and outlaws who endanger the fragile balance of society. In a world that has lost its moral compass, Agent-90 may be its final reckoning.

There was a time before this. I cannot remember it clearly. It comes in fragments — the weight of power, a voice that once called my name, a pair of eyes I feel more than see. But the rest is mist. They say I am being punished. The System gives me no guidance. It does not speak unless it must. It does not comfort. It only instructs. [Task detected. Entering soul channel.] I wake in bodies that do not belong to me. A fallen young mistress. A nameless servant girl. A scapegoat disciple left to rot at the foot of a mountain. They are all women who died with unfinished fates. Each time, the System says I must live in their place and complete their stories. Restore what was stolen. Rewrite what was lost. And when I do… a token appears. I do not know how many I must collect. The System does not say. It only demands. I did not ask for this path. I do not walk it willingly. But there is something I am chasing — or perhaps, something chasing me. Sometimes, in the quiet moments between death and rebirth, I hear a voice. Sometimes, I feel a hand reaching out. Familiar. Warm. Longing. I do not know who he is. I do not know who I am. But when I gather the tokens, the dreams become clearer. The ache grows stronger. If the only way to return is forward, then forward I will go. Not for the System. Not for Heaven. But for the one who remembers me… even when I cannot remember myself.

"So, what do you want to do?" Audrey's voice was gentle yet probing, seeking a glimpse into the depths of my heart amidst the wreckage. "I want to forget it all," I replied, the words raw and desperate. "Forget our relationship, forget the lives I took." Fresh tears welled, blurring my vision. "Are you sure? Some memories are worth holding onto," she countered, her voice laced with worry, as if fearing I was making a choice I might regret. "Not when they hurt. Not when they're constant reminders of what could have been," I retorted, each word a painful admission. "I have a way," she said suddenly, a flicker of determination igniting her features. She headed upstairs, beckoning for me to follow. A small spark of curiosity flickered within me amidst my despair.

Calen Brooks used to stand tall—trophies on his shelf, fire in his fists, a future filled with promise. Now, at twenty-one, he’s just another name in the office roster. The days blur: the same coffee, the same bagel, the same fake smiles, and a boss who doesn’t even know his name. Every evening, he returns to an empty apartment, haunted by memories of who he used to be. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t go out. And every time his co-worker Gary asks about his day, Calen offers the same cold, bitter response. He’s tired—of pretending, of surviving, of a life that feels more like a shadow. One quiet evening, drawn by impulse and boredom, Calen wanders into a strange little bookstore tucked between streets he thought he knew. The old man behind the counter offers him a single book—worn, faded, and completely blank inside. Moments later, on a bridge overlooking the river, Calen flips through its empty pages and feels something stir. A gust of wind. A flash of light. Then silence. And when he looks again, the world has changed.

Caden is an ordinary young man—or so it seems. For weeks, his nights have been haunted by enigmatic dreams in which a mysterious woman warns him of an imminent danger. When his life takes a sudden turn, he discovers that he possesses an elemental power, an ancient energy symbolized by a zodiac mark on his body. Yet one detail haunts him: he knows he wasn’t born with this mark, and his past before the age of nine is a complete blank. In his search for answers, Caden encounters others who bear similar marks, each tied to an elemental power and representing a zodiac sign. These chosen ones, known as the Zodiac Mages, are guardians of a fragile balance, but their unity shattered years ago. Now, their powers have become the target of those willing to go to any lengths to claim them. To counter this growing threat, Caden sets out to rebuild the Brotherhood of Zodiac Mages. Together, they must overcome their differences, restore the harmony of old, and face an enemy whose strength is beyond imagination. But every alliance comes with its own risks: caught between friendship and betrayal, Caden must discern allies from foes and uncover the truth about his own origins.

--- Ariana was rooted to the floor outside of Anthony’s door her heart raced in her chest, like something was preparing to break apart her ribs. She had not wanted to come to a halt, much less listen in on the conversation that was unfolding before her. But the sound of laughter that came from Rachel was not new to her ears which suddenly had her face the direction of the voice like a pupet. “…you’re so bad, Anthony,” Rachel whispered sexily. “I never lie to you,” Anthony countered sullenly then suddenly grew smarmy, “I’m only bad with you.” Reaching out Ariana braced her back against the wall and her mind whirled round with confusion. Glancing around the corner she stopped breathing as she saw them. Rachel resting on Anthony laps, having her hand resting on Anthony’s arm. He leered at her, and from even his bearing suggest that he wanted something more than friendship from her. “She has not realized it yet?” Rachel asked me in low tones as if Shareen was a hopeless case. Anthony chuckled. “He realized Ariana was smart, as well as trusting in his team. That’s her weakness.” Such words are a shock for Ariana as if someone slapped her. [His fists clenched.]His hands shook, and for a moment she considered; she felt that nausea could overcome herself. Trust. That was what she had delivered to them – what she considered they deserved. And now? Now they were laughing about it, about her . She wanted to rush into the room and meet them eye to eye, look them into the eyes and scold them for every single angry word that rises within her chest. But she didn’t move. Not yet. She held a strap of her bag so tightly her hands became gloved. Indeed, she retreated sensibly, her breathing becoming light. It was not so strange they did not notice her go ; of course they did not. Why would they, if they reckoned she did not know any better? And when she came to the door of the house, shutting herself out on the cold evening, when the wind caressed her cheek like a slate, then in her soul something leaped. The heartbreak was still there, but it was buried beneath a wave of something new,rage. But she paused and with her head held high she walked away leaving her legs give away from her. The frosty night’s darkness embraced her when she tripped outside, onto the campus and grass., but the freezing air was no match for the icy sensation in her chest. She began to ponder vigorously various questions, accusations and processes of retaliation in her mind. But she didn’t see the car. This blaring of the horn was too late. There was the pathetic squealing of brakes and a moment of unbearable agony that filled her from head to toe. The world staggered, and the last thing Ariana could make out before everything went black was the night sky above her. Everything went black. ---

Speed Villain: The Fugitive from the Stars The dark chains around his wrists burned with a cruel, pulsating energy, a constant reminder that he was nothing but a slave. On Zypheron-5, a brutal planet ruled by warlords, Kael-X was bred for war—an experiment, a weapon, a tool. The Zypherian overlords had created him, pushing his body to its limit, granting him speed that defied light and strength that could shatter mountains. But Kael-X was never meant to be free. For years, he was forced to fight in the Colosseum of Zorrak, where champions from across the galaxy were pitted against him—gladiators, alien beasts, even machines designed to counter his power. None survived. He was undefeated. Yet, with every battle, he knew he was still a prisoner. A trophy killer for the Zypherian Empire. Until one day… he ran. The Great Escape It was during the Blood Eclipse, when the twin moons of Zypheron aligned, momentarily disrupting the energy field of the Colosseum. The warlords never suspected that even the slightest disturbance in their technology would give Kael-X his opportunity. With a surge of power, he shattered his restraints and ran—faster than any creature had ever moved. The guards didn’t even have time to react before he was a blur, a ghost vanishing from the arena. The city around him became a streak of neon lights and steel towers as he dashed toward the only thing that could get him off this cursed planet: The Warp Gate. Blasting through legions of soldiers, Kael-X leapt into the glowing portal, feeling his body stretch and twist as he was hurled through the cosmos. Arrival on Earth He crash-landed in a place unlike any he had ever seen. Earth. A city of towering skyscrapers, vehicles that crawled instead of flew, and people who were fragile beyond belief. They called this place New York City. He emerged from the wreckage of his impact, his body steaming from the atmospheric entry. Within moments, sirens filled the air. Earth’s warriors—men in blue uniforms with primitive weapons—surrounded him. They shouted commands, telling him to stay down. But Kael-X had spent his life being ordered around, being chained and controlled. He wouldn’t allow it again. He moved. Faster than bullets, he dismantled their weapons before they could even pull the trigger. To them, he was a phantom, a force of nature. They fired at where he had been seconds ago, but he was already behind them, disarming, dodging, vanishing into the city’s shadows. A Villain or a Hero? News spread fast. Reports of a "super-powered fugitive" tearing through the city filled the broadcasts. People called him a menace, a threat, a villain. Kael-X didn’t care. All his life, he had been forced to fight, to kill for the amusement of others. Now, he was free—but the world feared him. Governments sought to capture him, scientists wanted to study him, and those in power wished to control him. But no one would ever control him again. He became a legend. They called him Speed Villain, the man who could outrun lightning and strike with the force of a meteor. Some saw him as a savior—taking down criminals in the blink of an eye. Others saw him as a nightmare—a force too powerful to exist unchecked. But Kael-X had one mission: To never be a slave again. And anyone who tried to stop him… would learn what true speed really was. To Be Continued…

Throwing together a makeshift costume, he races to the city’s rooftops, where he confronts Cyber Fist. The villain laughs. "You? A hero? Don’t make me laugh!" Dudu barely dodges an energy punch, countering with a surprise energy blast. "I don’t know how to fight… but I’ll figure it out!" he declares. https://chatgpt.com/

Because sometimes, the crown shines brightest in ashes.

How One Bold Decision Saved Our Company from Corporate Espionage and Financial Collapse In today's hyper-connected digital landscape, data isn’t just a business asset—it’s the lifeblood of client trust, market positioning, and sustainable growth. When that lifeline is suddenly severed, the consequences can be catastrophic. That was our reality just months ago. A Silent Breach with Loud Consequences Our company, operating in a highly competitive niche, began noticing a troubling trend: several high-value, long-term clients were inexplicably pulling away. At first, we attributed it to market volatility. But the pattern quickly became clear—it wasn’t coincidence, it was sabotage. The tipping point came when internal indicators revealed that sensitive strategic data had been leaked—pricing models, client acquisition strategies, and project blueprints were somehow in the hands of our competitors. We were blindsided. The most disturbing part? We had no clue how it happened. We Were Bleeding Clients—and Cash In less than six weeks, we lost key accounts that had taken years to build. Revenues dropped. Confidence within our executive team began to fracture. We were facing the real possibility of downsizing or, worse, shutting down. Our internal security measures, while compliant and up to industry standard, weren’t equipped to handle what we were facing: a likely case of corporate espionage. Enter Cyberh4cks: The Game Changer In a last-ditch effort, a trusted contact recommended a cybersecurity firm we hadn’t worked with before—Cyberh4cks. Skeptical but desperate, we engaged their team and opened a Corporate Espionage Investigation Case. From the very first interaction, it was clear they were operating on a different level. They weren’t just IT security consultants—they were forensic digital investigators with deep technical acumen and battle-tested strategies for uncovering internal sabotage and external breaches. What Cyberh4cks Did Differently Digital Footprint Forensics: They traced the leak to an ex-partner who had maintained covert access through a third-party integration. Competitor Profiling: Cyberh4ckz@protonmail.com provided irrefutable evidence that our stolen data had been funneled to a direct competitor. Silent Containment: Without alarming external stakeholders, they helped us seal the breach, restore integrity to our systems, and implement counter-surveillance protocols. The Outcome: Millions Saved, Future Secured The results were almost immediate. Within weeks: Our internal vulnerabilities were fully secured. Legal action was initiated with evidence strong enough to force a settlement. Most critically, client trust was restored after we transparently informed affected partners (with Cyberh4cks’ guidance) of the actions taken. Cyberh4cks didn’t just patch a security hole. They saved our company—from financial collapse, reputational ruin, and a total erosion of trust. The cost of inaction would have been in the millions. Thanks to their team, we are now back on track and stronger than ever. Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late If your business handles sensitive data—and let’s face it, all modern businesses do—don’t wait for a breach to occur before taking your digital security seriously. Corporate espionage is real, and it’s ruthless. The smartest move we ever made was not hiring another traditional security vendor. It was calling Cyberh4cks. Need help securing your business?

When a brilliant but unfulfilled 21st-century mind is thrust into the past, he awakens in the body of an 18-year-old, destitute baron on the fringes of the vast Russian Empire. It is the 1890s, a gilded age on the brink of catastrophic collapse. While he inherits the local memories and customs of his new life, he retains his own formidable intellect and, most critically, a precise knowledge of the wars, revolutions, and political shifts that are set to fracture the empire and plunge it into chaos. His provincial estate becomes the foundation for a much larger game: the subtle infiltration of the imperial court. Wealth and political favor become his weapons as he cultivates allies among the ambitious and systematically dismantles the influence of his rivals. Every investment and introduction is a deliberate chess move, part of a patient, calculated coup designed to ultimately checkmate the throne. Should he succeed in claiming the crown, he would unleash a quiet revolution from the top down. Knowledge of future breakthroughs will allow him to supercharge Russia's industry and sciences. He will reform the military entirely, building a force guided by doctrines that have yet to be conceived in this era, let alone countered. But this national transformation is merely the means to an end. He is not just trying to avoid the storm of war and revolution he remembers from his history books; he is driven to seize that chaotic future and bend it to his will, ensuring that when the dust of the 20th century settles, it is the Russian Empire that stands alone as the world's master.

In the shadow of a seemingly sophisticated, fast-paced world inhabited by smart cities and advanced universities... there is another shadow that no one knows about. Thousands of years ago, beings called ogres appeared, mysterious creatures with various forms and monstrous powers. To counter this growing danger, a hidden organization was formed through the ages that includes trained human clans, which possess the ability to use chaotic energy seals. The organization consists of ten specialized teams, each of which has a role in this secret war — from combat to analysis, from recruiting to erasing evidence. --------------------------------------------- Well, this is my first time writing a novel, and English is not my native language.
