The world of martial arts has never truly known peace. Behind ultimate techniques and legendary manuals, what’s truly fought over isn’t just victory—but honor, influence, and the pride of entire sects. When two warriors from enemy clans fall in love and have a child, the world doesn’t see love. They see betrayal. To the elders, the child is more than just a mixed bloodline—he is a symbol of destruction, a curse that threatens the ancient order they've protected for centuries. So, they made a pact: the child must be eliminated before he comes of age. On a cold, mist-covered night, the father escapes with his infant son, pursued by assassins from every sect. At the edge of a towering cliff, he’s cornered. With no other choice, he leaps. But midair, the baby slips from his arms. They fall—toward different fates. In the valley below, an old hermit witnesses everything. With a single swift move, he saves one life—the baby. He has no idea where the child came from. But from that night on, in a hidden and untouched corner of the world—Mount Tarakan—he raises the boy as his own grandson. That boy grows into a teenager named Wira. He knows nothing of the world beyond the mountain, nor the fact that he's been hunted since birth. All he knows is how to hunt, fetch water, and train his body—through what he thinks are survival techniques, yet are so much more. But time waits for no one. The outside world has not forgotten. And the blood in Wira’s veins begins to call out to its destiny. When he descends the mountain, the martial world will never be the same again. Because Wira is not merely a child who was saved. He is the heir of two legendary bloodlines. And now, he’s carving a path of his own.

The sky was meant to be still. It was the ground that broke, the seas that shifted — never the wind. But when the sky begins to fall, Aera is the only one who hears it scream. High above the world, the floating island of Whisperfall was Aera’s entire life — a place of open skies, quiet laughter, and distant storms. That peace shatters when strange glyphs begin to glow beneath the cliffs, and the wind carries voices that don’t belong. In the aftermath of a tragedy that tears his home from the heavens, Aera is left wandering the scattered remains of a broken sky. Guided only by fragments of a forgotten power — Threadbinding — he begins to uncover the ancient Loom that holds the world’s fate together... and the truth that something is unraveling it, piece by piece. As he follows the threads through fallen shrines, cryptic ruins, and haunted skies, Aera discovers that he’s not the first to walk this path — only the latest. And if he wants to survive the storm to come, he must learn to bind the wind itself… or be lost to it forever.

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

Perfect Immortal: Chapter One — Birth in the Abyss Realm of Ten Desolations — Veiled Abyss Valley Thunder roared across the heavens. Beneath a black sky pierced by a triple eclipse, the mountains cried and the stars trembled. Amidst a storm of violet lightning and blood rain, a woman screamed—not in fear, but in defiance. Her robes were torn and stained with sacred blood, her long silver hair clinging to her face. She clutched her swollen belly, breath ragged, as a tear rolled down her cheek and sizzled against the burning ground. "Even the heavens fear him… You are destined to be hunted… But you will live, my son." The woman was Shen Liyue, last of the Void Oracles, hidden deep in the Veiled Abyss Valley. Around her, space itself trembled. Shadowy figures in silver armor circled from above, bearing the symbol of the Heavenly Vow Sect—a cracked ring swallowing a star. One among them descended slowly, face half-covered by a mask of bone. "You, Shen Liyue, have broken the Pact. That child must not be born." She spat blood, then smiled. "You sealed my husband’s fate. But this one… is beyond fate." Lightning struck as her scream echoed through the skies. The storm parted. A child was born—silent. No cries. No breath. No heartbeat. Yet, he opened his eyes, black as the abyss, glowing faintly violet. Space cracked around him. The masked man stepped back, trembling. "W-what is this aura…" But the woman was already gone. With her last breath, she whispered a name into the child’s ear and tossed him into the chasm of the Veiled Abyss. > “Xian Wuheng… never let the heavens write your path.” He fell—through space, through time, into the Void Beyond the Sky. Where no child should have survived. But he did. --- Years Later — Outer Mortal Realm A small village called Dustbone Hamlet lived in the shadow of a broken mountain.

Although due too the lack of resources it took 70 years to adapt it. That was when they attacked back and pushed back the Domineer's on there back foot, Humanity recovered a century and two decades past and focused on offensive technology.

When her only best friend _ Charlotte snatched her fiancé, she was pushed into an hanging cliff. Alone, wounded but unbroken, she vows to reclaim everything — and more. No longer the naive girl who trusted too easily, Frances becomes a woman of fire: calculating, resilient, and fiercely determined.

Constrained by a marriage proposal, Frances is forced to marry the man she planned to deceive. To avoid him ruining her plan, she married him and eloped to another country with his money, where she begins plotting her revenge. Whereas, the mafia boss she deceived was already smitten by her.

Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly "Why do I have to be put through all this?" "Am just carrying out an assignment." the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time. "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?". The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..." He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling. "Your dad wants you dead sweetheart." He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell, leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion. "That can't be true." She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks. She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes. She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting... "Isn't it meant to hurt a little?.. Or is she dead already.." She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... What she saw was overwhelming... Her killer was on the floor instead... She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine.... Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut... She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. "What's going on?" A very confused Lin whispered, "Just follow me." The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole. Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. The lady turned and gave a smirk. "You were quite strong at first." And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, "Am not letting you go this time."

Far in the future, in a desolate land where despite the rich and plush grass there seems to be no animals roaming around stood thousand upon thousands of soldiers they all wear similar armors, bearing similar flags, and carrying similar symbol on them. Everyong is tensed and serius while all of them are facing to one direction, towards the silent calm sea. And in the silence, where only the occasional noise of the horses are heard, a powerful sound could be heard. A beating of two pair of wings... Towards the sea a powerful gust of wind pushed the fogs away.. revealing a man.. He's wearing a light leather armor.. a contrast to the shining metalic plates the soldiers on the land wore.. His hair is as dark as the night and his eyes as deep as the night. But all eyes landed on his back as two pairs of beautiful pair of white wings each spanining for five meters each as it flaps and keeps him in the air. Suddenly a man wearing a regal and imposing black armor in the very front of the formation stepped forward and spoke. Despite him speaking in calm manner his voice could be heard all across the land. "You betrayed our country, you scum.. Prepare to die" Then the man with the wings smiled at his words and replied. "And you betrayed humanity.. o mighty ruler.. YOU prepare to die" With his reply the fog behind him splits revealing hundreds of battle ships making contact with the steep cliff. And a thunderous battle cry explodes in the field as thousands of soldiers jumped hundreds of feet in the air towards the oposing armies. And a bloody war ensues. What had led up to this?

Dina, an intersex, with a second personality that was obsessed with a man who would rather have nothing to do with her, longed for death every passing day of her life. Her stalkerish behavior was finally exposed, and her social life, the only thing she had going, crumbled. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she looked up into the sky and muttered what would be her last words: “If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?” She chuckled. Guess she'd never know. . . . “Welcome, Geraldina, to The Bureau of Souls.” The man spoke words she had only ever heard in fiction. He spoke of transmigration.

The Last Crown of the East A Tale of Fire, Stone, and Sovereignty For forty days, the siege has thundered at the gates of Draventh — the last free city of the East. Above the black cliffs of the Aviedhien Ocean, Queen Lysmira stands defiant, heir to a bloodline that once bound gods. Her people starve. Her armies dwindle. But her will remains unbroken. Beyond the valley, Emperor Brudahas commands a host a million strong — the greatest army ever forged. Kingdoms have fallen beneath his boots. Rivers have been bent to his will. He comes not to burn Draventh, but to crown it. To finish the world he has conquered. What unfolds is not merely a siege, but a war of legacies — where surrender is not defeat, and conquest is not victory. Between a tyrant who seeks eternity and a queen who chooses memory, the battle becomes something greater: a reckoning. When gods no longer answer, when Dust itself becomes a weapon, only one truth remains: The crown must be taken… or buried with its last bearer.

Darken lived as something less than a slave, less than a human. Under the mercy of a mad merchant, his existence was nothing more than an extension of submission—a neglected being, unworthy of even a passing glance. Even the pigs received more care than he did, and the serfs knew a mercy he had never tasted. Hunger was not just a fleeting sensation; it had become a constant companion, clinging to him like a shadow. and Pain was not the result of random blows but a perpetual reality, repeating without end. Yet even in a world like this, there are moments that ignite the spark of change. When an unknown force attacked the merchant caravan, chaos erupted—screams, flames, blood. Escape was not a choice for Darken but an instinct, a drive untainted by hope, but fueled solely by pure fear. Every step was a desperate grasp at life, but his frail body failed him, sending him tumbling unnoticed off a towering cliff into the abyss of the sea. The water invaded his lungs, and death seemed a welcome relief, something to embrace. But fate had already carved a different path. On an unfamiliar shore, between the crawling heat of the sand and the whisper of the gentle breeze, Darken opened his eyes for the first time—to find himself looking at the world through the eyes of a free man, unchained, unclaimed. Yet for someone who had never tasted freedom before, its weight might be something entirely different. Note: Chapters are published every four or five days, and at most, every week.

After losing her sister, Elena Moore is left hollow—adrift in a world that no longer feels familiar. Desperate for space to breathe, she leaves behind the noise of the city and moves to a small coastal town where the ocean is wide, the streets are quiet, and no one knows her name. Nathan Hale has lived in that same town for years, quietly tucked away in a weathered house on the cliff’s edge. Once a renowned author, he’s now a recluse—his pen abandoned, his world closed off after a heartbreak he never speaks of. When Elena and Nathan cross paths, it’s not instant or electric. It’s slow—deliberate. A glance, a pause, a word. Their connection grows not from sparks but from shared silences, aching memories, and the quiet recognition of someone who understands what it means to lose everything. As seasons shift and their walls begin to crumble, both must choose: retreat to the comfort of solitude, or take the risk of loving again—imperfect, fragile, and real. Beneath the Blue is a tender, deeply felt story about grief, healing, and the unexpected love that finds you when you stop looking and start feeling again.

Dragon God of the Douluo Continent Xie Yulong just wanted a quiet weekend hike. Instead, he ended up dying—by slipping off a cliff—and waking up somewhere impossible: inside a womb. Yep, reincarnated in the Douluo Continent, with all his memories from his past life intact. Jackpot, right? Loving parents, a cheat-like system, and now a second chance at life. But things got seriously weird on his sixth birthday. During his spirit awakening, a colossal dragon phantom appeared—nine-colored scales shimmering with divine power, a roar that echoed across the continent’s spirit beasts. That’s when it hit him: He’s not just any reincarnate. He’s the future Dragon God. With a divine martial soul, a spirit that hands him spirit rings on a silver platter, and a system that seems to enjoy messing with him, Xie Yulong isn’t here to follow the usual path. Forget plot armor—he’s the plot twist.

I thought life was one big fairy tale. A prince charming saving a damsel in distress and will always end in a happy ever after. It turns out fate has a funny way of creating my own story. With a creative twist and turn, my world had become one big circus. It made me a whole new person. It became dark, poisonous, and toxic. Who would have known that the word death would sound so peaceful and reassuring in my ears? Guess what my new life mission is. Yes! An eternal peace. What could be a creative and challenging way to have it? Jumping off a cliff? Not so creative. Fighting a big, scary beast? Cool but gruesome. Have a duel with the hot bully in school? Yeah, that's exciting. Could he really help me achieve my ultimate goal? Or he would be the same reason why I will abandon it. Let's find out.

A shot…. That was all it took to push me off the cliff… As I watched Xainder shout out to me helplessly, tears slowly trickled down his magnificent face, his usual grin no where to be found, my heart shattered to a million pieces watching my entire life flash right before my eyes with no more hope to hold on to. i watched the people I gave my heart to look at me in disdain. My eyes searched for a certain someone who was nowhere to be seen. I couldn’t help but laugh at the life I led and wished I had a second chance to amend things but a part of me wants to let go. The burns on my body writhed in pains and my heart clenched in agony. Youth is a great crush, if I like you, I am going to say it aloud . It’s such a shame I never realized who I truly loved until I lost him and now, he will never know. Bracing myself for my inevitable end, a part of me leaps with joy of finally leaving this miserable world and a part of me longs for another chance at life . My life. There’s a question which lived rent free in my head, “ when we grow up, we leave the home to chase our dream not because of anything but because we know that the home behind us will never forsake and always comfort us but what happens when the home stings and causes nothing but pain , then where do we seek refuge? This happens to be the summary of my life and a question i have never been able to answer so with my remaining seconds on earth, I put the question to you all . what do we do ? ……………………… S.C.A.R.S. by TriciaX13.

They left him to die. The gods did not. Ren was pushed off a cliff by the one person he trusted — his best friend. Broken, bleeding, and moments from death, a voice called out to him from the void. “The Mourner sees your pain.” Now bound to the Punishment System, Ren becomes the unwilling executioner of forgotten sinners. Each mission etches pain into his soul, each failure brings torment. But as he carries out divine vengeance on strangers, he begins to uncover a darker truth: His betrayal was part of a far greater design — and the god who saved him may not be merciful after all. In a world where grief grants power and punishment is sacred, Ren must decide: Is he the Mourner’s chosen… or just its weapon?

She dies on her 27th birthday. Every. Single. Time. Different world, different rules, different face — same damn fate. And the one thing all her tragic little lifespans have in common? She’s always married when she dies. So this time, she has a revolutionary idea: Stay single. Live. Born into a stiff, judgmental medieval kingdom, where magic is banned for commoners (but hoarded by royalty), she’s now 25, nobly bred, politically poised, and pretending to aim for the crown prince. (Step one of the plan: fake it till you almost make it, then don’t.) Her first fiancé? Slipped off a cliff. (Oops.) Second? Died in a war. (Double oops.) Third? The current prince? Terrified of women. (Chef’s kiss.) All according to plan and nobody suspects a thing. Until the new stable boy shows up. He picks up her handkerchief like some storybook romantic, looks her dead in the eye, and says, “Good evening, Miss Witch,” before launching into a cryptic poem about stars and walking away like he didn’t just ruin her life. Now she’s spiraling. Because she doesn't have a hint of magic (at least this time), and he must definitely know something he shouldn't. Between suspicious nobles, nosy court mages, and a weirdly poetic stable boy who knows too much and blinks like a baby deer, she has to keep her cool, keep her mask, and most importantly — keep her single status intact. And then — because of course — it turns out the stable boy isn’t just some weird dreamer. He’s a magical genius. Possibly cursed. Definitely unhinged. And he might be the key to breaking her cycle…
