The Book That Shouldn't Exist

The whisper in the dark, the veins beneath the leather, the pulse of something not quite human—yes, I saw the way your eyes lingered on the Book. You felt it too, didn’t you? Let me offer you a word of advice. This is not a tale of heroes. Nor of redemption. This is the story of a whisper—a lie so convincing it becomes truth, a truth so heavy it breaks the mind. Our protagonist—if you dare call him that—is Azriel Morvane Votex, a man reborn into a world not his own, wearing the name of a future catastrophe. No prophecy sings of him. No light shines his path. He walks not toward glory, but toward ruin wrapped in silk and secrets. He did not transmigrate with cheat systems or golden fingers. No heavenly blessings. No plot armor. Only a Book that whispers… and a fate far crueler than any god could author. But perhaps, that is his true power. To lie. To twist. To whisper. Not with swords or spells… but with words that echo into the soul, with truths that devour sanity, and half-truths that turn kings into monsters. Azriel is not a savior. He is the rumor you dismiss until it becomes reality. He is the footnote in another’s story… who quietly rewrites the entire book. And the book? Ah yes… the Book that should not exist. It is not his servant. It is not his master. The author of despair. You thought this was just a scream in the night? No, dear reader. This was the book of unraveling. Welcome to the Whisperer’s Tale. And remember— Not everything whispered into your ear… is meant to be heard.

The Cube That Swallowed Stars

Ha-eun, a jaded physics student drowning in debt and familial guilt, stumbles upon an antique shop that shouldn’t exist. There, she buys a mysterious cube—a relic that hums with the resonance of dead stars. Ignoring the owner’s cryptic warning (“Some truths dissolve the soul”), she touches it… and is torn into a liminal hell between dimensions. Trapped in a realm where time fractures, Ha-eun witnesses agonizing echoes of her life: her mother pleading with police, her father weeping at a makeshift shrine, and versions of herself thriving in happier timelines. But this purgatory is no passive prison. Hostile entities, born from swallowed civilizations and lost travelers, hunt her. To survive, she fights, adapts… and mutates. Millennia pass. Her skin hardens into a galaxy-veined carapace. Her hair bleaches white as forgotten constellations. The cube’s power sustains her, but each transformation erases another memory—her childhood, her name, the sound of her brother’s laugh. When she discovers other trapped souls, including a charming, half-mad alien warrior and a spectral version of the antique dealer himself, Ha-eun faces an impossible choice: Escape by damning another to take her place. Or ascend as the cube’s eternal guardian—a cosmic deity stripped of everything human. But as she uncovers the cube’s true purpose—a device forged to devour dying universes—Ha-eun realizes her survival could doom countless realities. Including her own.

The Phoenix That Devours Fate

In the reign of the Yanxuan Dynasty (焰璇朝), where imperial bloodlines dictated destiny and love was a luxury few could afford, a defiant romance took root in secrecy. Bai Haofeng, a man of humble birth, lived by the ink and brush, dedicating his days to the pursuit of knowledge. Though his life was unremarkable in the eyes of nobility, his heart burned with an intensity that defied his status. That fire led him into forbidden territory—the heart of Princess Lumin, daughter of Emperor Janxu (焰旭帝). She was a woman of unparalleled grace, raised within the confines of the palace, where duty overshadowed personal desire. From birth, she had been promised to a nobleman she had never laid eyes on, her future carved into stone before she could shape it herself. But fate unraveled when she met Haofeng, a man whose presence ignited something within her—a longing not for riches, but for freedom. Bound by love yet pursued by fate, they made a choice no one dared—they vanished. Without a trace, they left behind the palace’s golden cages and disappeared into obscurity, choosing a life where love reigned over obligation. The emperor's eyes never found them; the empire's reach never grasped them. They became ghosts, whispers carried by the wind, a legend murmured in the darkest corners of the kingdom. From their love, a child was born. Longzhuang entered the world bearing the weight of two legacies—one of nobility, the other of defiance. Yet, destiny was never kind to those who strayed from its path. His birth was both a miracle and a curse. With one eye of fierce crimson and the other a piercing green, he was seen not as a boy, but as an omen. Some called him a celestial sign, others a harbinger of ruin. Raised beyond the emperor’s gaze, he grew in the shadows of an unforgiving world. His days were spent in hardship, his nights haunted by dreams of a life he could not remember. Unknown to him, he had walked this earth before—not as a mere mortal, but as something greater. In another time, in another existence, he had been a dragon, a being of immense power, now forced into human skin with memories lost to time. The Yanxuan Dynasty was a nest of serpents, where betrayal wove through the halls of power and ambition disguised itself as loyalty. Longzhuang, though raised in exile, was no stranger to the dangers of the empire. He moved like a shadow, watching, learning, waiting—until fate inevitably pulled him back into the world he was born to challenge. Amidst the chaos of a collapsing dynasty, he crossed paths with Chun Guiying, a woman as cunning as she was beautiful. A courtesan by circumstance, a survivor by necessity, she mastered the art of deception in a world that sought to break her. Though they came from different pasts, their souls bore the same scars. Bound by fate, yet defying it at every turn, their destinies became entwined in ways neither could predict. Yet fate was never meant to be kind. With war stirring on the horizon, unseen forces awakening, and secrets buried in the ruins of forgotten history, Longzhuang faces an impossible choice—will he bow to the dynasty that abandoned him, or will he rise from the ashes and claim the fate that was once stolen from him? For the phoenix that divorces fate does not surrender to destiny—it burns it to the ground. --

The Venom That Saves

“Who are you? A dormant were wolf or a human?” His voice broke as he spoke. His eyes were silently pleading, anxiously waiting for the answer. Deep down, he knew it already. Yet, his stubborn heart refused to concede. The silence that followed was enough to escalate the hurt he felt in his heart from a dull throb, to burning glaring pain. The bullet wound he received a year ago hurt less than what he felt at that moment. “Here you go. It’s time to end this forever. Let’s make it fun while it lasts.” He handed her a shiny golden revolver. One look and she knew, neither could survive a shot between the eyes. There was only one bullet in the gun. Her hands shook as she tried to let go, as though it burnt at her skin. Kai didn’t let her. He won’t have any of it. This was his surrender. His eyes spoke words that his lips couldn’t. They were raw with emotions both familiar and foreign to her. Her own silver eyes filled with tears as she tried not to cry. “I choose to die by your hands. You are the only one with the right to take my life. Let’s begin!” He didn’t wait for her to process his words before helping her place the gun between his eyes, which never wavered from hers. Click! Click! Click! “Noooooooo!” She screamed as she dropped the gun. ************************************************************* DISCLAIMER!! Note that the chapters are not edited as of yet.

The Fire We Feed

Taryn fights monsters. Lucien is one. Season 1: Forced to team up by the very council she’s made to serve, Taryn finds herself trapped with Lucien—a vampire with too many secrets and a smile that makes her blood run hot. In the midst of growing dangers, the two of them must work together to survive. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where the real threat lies—outside their walls, or between them. Lucien knows better than to care. He’s spent years perfecting the art of detachment, but something about Taryn makes it impossible to stay indifferent. The fire she carries is fierce, dangerous—and every moment with her only stokes the flames higher. Bound by circumstance and haunted by shadows neither of them can outrun, Taryn and Lucien are playing a game they can’t afford to lose. The fire between them grows hotter with every step, but giving in might cost them everything. Some fires are meant to burn. Others consume. This one could destroy them both. Season 2: Framed for assassinations they didn’t commit, Taryn and Lucien are thrust into a deadly game where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As the fragile peace between powerful factions begins to unravel, they must navigate a labyrinth of secrets and lies, uncovering dangerous truths about those who seek to control them. As tensions rise, their bond is tested in ways neither anticipated, and their personal struggles threaten to fracture their fragile partnership. Against the backdrop of a brewing war, new allies and enemies emerge, challenging their notions of trust and loyalty. As the season hurtles toward its climactic revelations, Taryn and Lucien must decide what they are willing to sacrifice—and who they can rely on—in a world that seeks to tear them apart. Season 3: When safety is a fleeting memory and enemies circle ever closer, Taryn, Lucien, and Kah’el find themselves bound by necessity in a secluded forest haven. As mysterious threats prowl the shadows and signs of encroaching danger multiply, the trio works to fortify their defenses while grappling with unspoken tensions and buried truths. Strange tracks near their clearing suggest a threat greater than any of them anticipated, forcing them into a delicate balance of survival and trust. For Taryn, every decision risks fracturing the fragile alliance that’s formed between them, as the boundaries of loyalty blur and their individual pasts clash with their shared present. Season 4: After months of running, fighting, and barely surviving, Taryn, Lucien, and Kah’el have found something they never expected—stability. A quiet town. A steady job. A place to rest. But peace is a fragile thing, and none of them know how to live without looking over their shoulders. Lucien thrives in the chaos of tavern life, slipping effortlessly into his role, as if he was always meant for this world. Taryn, on the other hand, struggles with the illusion of safety, waiting for the inevitable knife in the dark. And Kah’el? He watches them both, steady as ever, knowing that nothing stays easy forever. But the past doesn’t let go so easily. And no matter how well they play the part, they are still who they have always been—fighters, survivors, something sharp waiting to cut. For now, they have warmth, stolen moments, and a life they could almost believe in. But peace is just another kind of lie. And sooner or later, every lie breaks.
