But this is not a story about losing someone. It’s about finding what remains.

In a crumbling city overtaken by nature, Sete and his family scavenge to survive, haunted by monstrous humanoids and elusive beasts. When Sete chases a mysterious white rabbit—one tied to a tragic past—he stumbles upon a terrifying secret: the flames of an ancient war are reigniting.

A life of hard work and sacrifice was all he knew, his old world was plagued by dimensional fractures that unleashed monsters upon the land but he was just a normal man.

**An emperor who refused to rule with blood. A prince who refused to love with restraint.** Elliott Lancaster, the gentle Emperor of a fractured empire, has spent his life avoiding war-and his father's attempts to force him into a political marriage. Instead, he adopted an orphaned noble boy, Aiden, raising him as both heir and unlikely companion. But their bond was never that of father and son. Aiden Lancaster, the perfect prince in court and a storm of violence on the battlefield, has waited years to prove himself. He is devoted to his adopted father- some might even say, too devoted. Still, up till now, he was restrained by Elliott's desire for peace, despite their enemies poking them again and again. But Aiden's patience had its limits- but this underhanded tactic was the straw which broke the camel's back. Now unrestrained, he wages a war so brutal it shocks the empire. When Elliott awakens to find borders redrawn in blood, he must confront the terrifying truth: the boy he raised has become a conqueror, and his devotion has twisted into something far more dangerous. As court factions' scheme and the temple condemns their unnatural bond, Elliott faces an impossible choice: maintain his morals and risk losing Aiden or embrace the ruthless love of the man who would burn the world to protect him.

Her memories fractured and her body altered, she wakes in the strange town of Elnor bearing pointed ears, glowing eyes, and a face she doesn’t recognize.

As she trains to survive, Gilly begins unlocking abilities that defy explanation. Her journey takes her through trials of blood, memory, and will—facing monsters, both within and without. With the guidance of mysterious allies and the discovery of an ancient artifact bound to her soul, Gilly’s presence begins to stir long-dormant powers. Yet with each answer she finds, darker forces close in—fearing what she might awaken, or already has. Now hunted and haunted, Gilly must uncover the truth of who—or what—she’s becoming. As pieces of her team’s fate glimmer on the horizon and celestial beings take notice, she realizes her arrival wasn’t a mistake, but a spark. One that might reignite forgotten wars… or bring about a new era.

In a quiet European town, Arthur runs a small, peaceful bookstore. To the world, he is a mild-mannered man with weak eyes and a gentle smile.

But under fading chalk marks, and behind half-burned histories, the truth still watches. And Arthur… …was never his first name. Why read? A calm story hiding sharp secrets.

Maplewood Hostel had always been a place of friendship, laughter, and late-night talks. For six best friends, it was their home away from home.

To avoid such a calamity those trying to start the apocalypse must be stopped before they can complete their mission. The gods picked their champions to purge the plague of evil out of the academy and save the world. Except every time that date rolled around, the heroes failed. Every reset and reattempt, they failed. Nine times already. The gods now only had one last chance to reset everything. A pair of young twin goddesses out of desperation began to look outside the box for some hope of changing this dark fate. They thought that perhaps someone who never originally meant to go to Trinity Academy could be brought in to change things for the better. Someone with a different view, someone with a little experience with hero work prior to entering the school. Enter Archer Griffen, residing on the opposite side of the world he was one of the few who were directly taught by the heroes of the old generation. A hero in training through and through, albeit a peculiar one. The mad dog, the sloth, the sleuth, the tick, the nightmare, the liar, the knight, are just a few of the nicknames Archer has had fortune or perhaps misfortune of earning from his peers. The twin goddesses decide that maybe a person like him could avoid the calamity. He was never supposed to be here, and his entrance does change things, though perhaps not necessarily for the better. But who knows what damage this unexpected no-named outlier could cause to Trinity Academy. Can the boy who avoided death avoid destruction for all? Only time will tell.

She lands into an arranged marriage with Ramon, the Earl of Cavenhan, a striking nobleman who agrees to marry her out of duty to his powerful family. To Ramon, Jenny is a burden, an obligation forced upon him by politics and bloodlines. His heart, he believes, belongs to Evelyne, a beautiful, enchanting woman with hidden claws and poisonous ambition. As Jenny tries to find her footing in a house that does not welcome her, she soon learns that surviving Ramon’s cold indifference is the least of her struggles.

For an entire year, he was consumed by the tragic tales of a world doomed to collapse-again and again. But when he turned the final page, he realized... He had been pulled into that very world. Not as the protagonist. Not as the antagonist. But as someone who was never even written into the story. To return home, Andress must carry out a mission from the Goddess of the Universe.

But the deeper they dig into the truth, the more dangerous each step becomes. Who is Kira? Why are there seven names on the list, but only four they can remember?

Slowly, they discover that they are not just victims… but keys to a vast experiment that nearly erased their very identities. Can they survive the web of lies spun by those who decided who deserves to live, and who must be forgotten? In a world filled with memories, friendships, and wounds too deep to measure — can love become the last memory left behind?

But every name taken eats away at his soul. Every god slain brings him closer to madness, and the throne he seeks to destroy whispers temptations of its own.

Together, they will challenge the very foundation of the world. But can a man who devours identity remember who he truly is? Brutal. Philosophical. Unforgettable.

Winter, gadis muda dari desa kecil yang dikenal karena ketegarannya, harus mengubur impian masa mudanya saat sang ayah terlilit utang besar kepada seorang bangsawan kaya raya dan dingin bernama Sebastian Ashbourne. Demi menebus utang itu, Winter 'dijual' ke keluarga bangsawan tersebut — bukan sebagai pelayan, bukan pula sebagai tamu kehormatan, tetapi sebagai "jaminan hidup", sebuah posisi yang menggantung antara budak dan tamu, tanpa hak, namun harus tunduk. Dengan keyakinan bahwa ini adalah awal dari kehidupan yang lebih baik — atau setidaknya bebas dari kemiskinan — Winter melangkah masuk ke rumah megah itu. Namun yang ia temui hanyalah dinginnya tembok batu, tatapan sinis para pelayan, dan perlakuan kasar dari sang bangsawan. Hari-harinya dipenuhi hinaan, makian, dan tugas-tugas yang seolah sengaja dibuat untuk menjatuhkan harga dirinya.

Ayla Rahmani never believed in fairy tales—especially not the kind where a broke nurse like her ends up in the bed of Indonesia’s most untouchable billionaire after a single night of escape from reality. But one drunken mistake at a high-society masquerade ball leaves her with two surprises: a positive pregnancy test... and a cold, unwanted proposal from Leonard Darmawan—the very CEO she can’t stand. To Leo, marriage is just another business contract. To Ayla, it's a lifeline for her unborn child. Neither expects the sterile, awkward marriage to become something warmer, deeper—something real. But behind closed doors, love begins to grow in the quietest ways: in late-night meals, shared silences, and a husband's gentle hand on a swelling belly. Until the past catches up—with secrets that threaten everything they’ve built. Will their fragile bond survive the truth? Or will love after marriage prove too delicate to endure?

But one mistake has linked their fates forever — a data theft scandal that could ruin everything.

'The next batch of players will be arriving soon.' 'Remember to act your part well. Don't step out of bounds. Don't go out of character or you'll suffer the consequences.' In the game world, Faye was nothing but an NPC who owned a bookstore. That was all the players saw, and that was what she was known as, but what if she was more than that? After a meeting with the 'main character' of the game, things take a turn for the NPC Faye and she becomes more aware of her status and the world around her, more than she ever did before.

There had never been silence like that. It wasn’t the absence of sound — it was presence. Heavy. Alive. A stillness that crushed memory, breath, time. Elías awakens on cracked earth beneath a sky of rotten red and black-blue. The stars above drift like bloated, decaying eyes — floating in stagnant fluid. There is no sun. No moon. Only a damp, unholy light that seeps from nowhere. The air tastes like ash and burns like guilt — and something inside him stirs. He doesn’t remember this world, but it remembers him. He doesn’t know what he lost, but it’s still bleeding. When the silence finally whispers his name, he understands: Elías is not alive. Not dead. He is what remains. And this world — whether the last, or just the next — will bleed before it forgets him again

An ordinary man dieing inside from a life spent working a dead end job goes to bed one Saturday morning after a binge session of a new season of an anime, and some gaming. While sleeping he dreams he gets messages granting him three wishes before being transmigrated into an anime version of Earth. This is his story as he lives out a new life in an anime world. ...………………………… But is it even real? Or is it all just some fever dream, maybe comatose delusions? But more importantly: Does it matter? Is everything he experiences any less real if he's only dreaming or in a coma? .................................... So I plan for this book to be fairly light-hearted but also tackle some deep questions at some point. There will be some cringe moments- including chuni AF moments. This could also be considered a fan fiction with elements from several animes and games being introduced either as part of the system the MC has or as things from the system. I might have some characters from different anime games movies or books popping up. Uploads may be slow, as I write the chapters on paper before typing them to post and because I write for fun, my daily life will effect the schedule.

So, you think you've got life all figured out? Well, imagine waking up in the body of a third-rate villain from a novel you once scoffed at. That's exactly what happens to your not-so-average high school student turned reluctant anti-hero. Picture this: transmigrate into the body of a suspended student from school, banished from his noble family, and now trapped in a world where magic reigns supreme and destiny calls the shots. Oh, and did I mention he's got a one-way ticket back to reality? All he has to do is complete a series of tasks to fix the messed-up storyline. Easy, right? Hell no!! But hold on a second. This ain't your typical hero's journey. Chris isn't exactly the noble, tragic figure you'd expect. Nope, he's more of a sarcastic, self-aware protagonist who's not afraid to ask the real questions. Like, why bother with destiny when you can't even get your morning coffee right? Or how about facing your past mistakes when you can just blame it on the plot? And don't even get me started on trying to outsmart fate itself. As Chris stumbles through this twisted tale of magic and mayhem, he's forced to confront his own shortcomings, forge unlikely alliances, and maybe—just maybe—find a way back to the life he left behind. But with every sarcastic quip and sardonic remark, he's also asking you, the reader, to join him on this wild ride. So, buckle up, because in a world where reality is just a plot twist away, Chris Harrison is about to rewrite the rules and show destiny who's really in charge.

In a quiet village untouched by war, Aisu Erlic lived a peaceful life—waking late, laughing with his friends, dreaming of joining the academy alongside his siblings. But peace is a fragile thing. One night, fire devoured everything. Colva was reduced to ash. But Aisu survived. Scarred by grief and fueled by the black fire of awakening, he is taken in by a secretive group that trains those abandoned by justice. As he trains in the shadows, the world forgets him. The Arbiters. The prophecy, they believe, is broken. But ashes are not the end. Aisu Erlic is gone. And something else is rising in his place.

"Know nothing. See nothing. Be nothing. Forget everything that you think you know of this reality where you now exist. Only then can the Nilverse fulfill its purpose to you." CK may be the honorable salutatorian, but this does not stop the Institute of the Nonaphrontistery from putting her on trial and accusing her of unethical practices to accomplish her thesis. The people once believed this would be the most difficult aspect of CK's life as a wordsmith, but the outcome of the trial was only a prelude of what was to come. And this is true; for what reason should one limit themselves to a single world when the Empire spans across worlds in the Vast Expansion? This is a place where fairytales are the cornerstone of a noble's society; where systems answer the call of the ambitious but not call them special. This is a place where only a single empire conquers all, and where a page of history is questioned in the era of peace. This place is not a story, but a journey that begins with a trial before Knowledge herself. Come, bear witness, and applaud the recital that is about to unfold! *** Prologue: The introductory volume. Students are meant to be nurtured and sheltered by the schools that took responsibility. But when the school has turned against one of their own, shall this be the sign of the student's downfall? To CK, probably not. It does make an excuse to do things she wasn't allowed before, though.
