Synopsis: “The Bellemont High Pack” In the sunny, suburban town of Bellemont, California, life is as ordinary as it gets—or so it seems. High school hallways buzz with teenage drama, football games light up Friday nights, and everyone pretends they don’t have secrets to hide. For Logan Thorne, life at Bellemont High is a game he’s mastered. Rich, confident, and effortlessly charming, he’s everything a teenage heartthrob should be. But beneath his polished exterior lies a legacy he can’t ignore—Logan is part of an ancient line of werewolves, one of the most powerful families in a hidden supernatural world. His life is carefully planned: keep his secret, obey the rules, and prepare to one day lead his pack. Then there’s Ellie Carter—the quiet, unassuming girl who keeps her head down and her grades up. An orphan adopted into a kind but modest family, Ellie has spent her whole life feeling like she doesn’t quite belong. She can’t explain the strange dreams that haunt her or the inexplicable pull she feels when she’s around Logan. All she knows is that her life is about to change when their paths cross in a way neither of them expects. Logan is drawn to Ellie in a way he can’t explain, but her presence stirs something dangerous in his world. Unbeknownst to her, Ellie’s blood carries a rare and ancient power that some would kill to possess. As the attraction between them grows, so does the danger surrounding them. With the rules of his kind hanging over his head and threats lurking in the shadows, Logan is forced to choose: his duty to his pack, or the girl who might hold the key to his future—and his heart. In a world where appearances are deceiving and loyalty is tested, Logan and Ellie will have to navigate love, danger, and the weight of secrets that could change everything they thought they knew about themselves and the world around them. What happens when a love you can’t ignore uncovers a truth you can’t escape?

A young doctor felt exhausted by the hospital environment, the pressure from patients, time constraints, and the endless cycle of studying and exams. Finally, he made a bold decision: to return to a remote village and work as a doctor there, away from all that stress. In this monotonous life, there was only one thing that managed to ease his sadness a little. It was a small novel that a patient had given him. Unexpectedly, an unforeseen accident caused him to reincarnate as a minor character in that very novel. “Hahaha… At last, I can escape from that dull world!” "Now I'll use this knowledge to seize all the treasures and secrets meant for the main character... enough for me to live a peaceful and luxurious life in this world." ... "Wait, something’s wrong." "It seems the novel I read was just a poorly made copy of this world.” Everything was a surprise when the knowledge he possessed turned out to be a poorly replicated, predictable version, while the real world was the complete opposite. Here, the main character was decisive, shrewd, ruthless, killing without a second thought. The side characters were constantly entangled in cycles of killing and scheming. Not to mention, the fate of this damned world seemed to be like two sides of the same coin.
