Circus Creeps

In a realm where magic pulses beneath the earth and ancient wars echo through time, the Fatebound Chronicles begin. Centuries ago, the Martial Era saw the rise of demon towers—monoliths of chaos that scarred the land and birthed new races, from ethereal elves to bloodthirsty vampires. Amid the turmoil, the Great Alliance, forged by the legendary Martial King and the enigmatic Sorceress, sealed a tyrant whose shadow once threatened to consume all life. The world healed, its magic stabilized, but the past never truly faded. Now, whispers of that dark era stir again, carried on the wind through crumbling cities and hidden forests. In this fragile peace, Alan, a steadfast farmer, watches his world unravel when his younger brother Theo is snatched by the Ancient Reapers—a shadowy cult tied to the demons of old. The demons, long thought vanquished, creep back from the abyss, their sinister purpose clear: to revive their fallen king, the Demon King, and unleash vengeance upon humanity for the sins of the Martial Era. As Theo vanishes into their clutches, Alan sets out to reclaim his brother and face the rising darkness, where echoes of ancient alliances and buried secrets threaten to reshape their world once more.

"To others, love is like the free breath of Heaven, which, once grasped, cannot be held onto but is impossible to let go. But to me, love feels like death — the twisted sensation of it creeping upon a thought, working its way through layers and cells, walls and barriers, until it breaks free and chokes the heart. But who could have known that the love I long for is the very one I have tirelessly sought my revenge on?" Kai, a scholarship student, finds himself accepted into an elite school, where the heirs and heiresses of the world's top businessmen, politicians, and even royalty are groomed for their future roles as kings and queens. It’s a place where hierarchy reigns supreme, and the social structure is more rigid than anything Kai has ever known. Here, even the teachers, caught up in their own scandals and love affairs, have little authority over the students, who navigate a world of power, privilege, and influence. As the other scholarship students scramble to secure their positions, Kai stirs up a storm by uncovering a bag of dark secrets that could bring down the most powerful figures at the top of the social pyramid. His curiosity leads him to investigate the mysterious, the unsolved death of Knox Johnson, his beloved older brother. In doing so, Kai uncovers a web of lies and hidden truths that could shake the very foundations of the school's elite society. Tune in with Kai as he overturns The Academy of Elites with his unpredictable actions and unwavering determination to uncover the truth about his brother's death. In just one eventful year, he managed to flip the entire Elite Academy on its head. ********** "You...I...Kai! Let's F***K!" Saphia blurted out across the room. The room fell into a deafening silence. **THE WEEK BEFORE** "Why do you make me feel like this? What's this feeling I'm having?" Khalil heard himself ask as he stood before the person who had been a mystery, pain in the ass and a temptation to him. Khalil's face was only a breath from Kai's, their eyes locked in an unspoken understanding, as if time itself had stopped. When the clarity of thought and reason seemed to fade away, Khalil stared deeply into Kai's captivating soul, and without further ado, he plunged into a hot and passionate kiss.

The stark-naked, handsome, young man looked intently at a winged reptile creeping in front of him, His lips, closed tight since setting foot in this new realm, began to move as words echoed in the shadowy realm of awareness. "It has been determined that the leaders of the plan and all related individuals are dead, communication with Earth has been completely severed. Transitioning to autonomous operation mode. Updating log-in name to the fully planned 'Li Lin'. Given the current situation, autonomous task B4 is selected." The boy, now known as Li Lin, paused briefly, his voice taking on a chilling edge as if from the depths of hell. "Infiltrate and invade the low-level civilization, colonize it, Earthify it." The ultimate weapon in the form of a young man, in this magical alien world, sensed a familiar scent - war. And so, he continued his mission.

{WSA 2025- Entry} Are you ready to forget everything?" When a masked man appears in Kairo’s dreams and whispers those chilling words, his world begins to unravel. Memories vanish. Reality twists. And the shadows? They are alive. What started as a simple nightmare soon spirals into an obsession—a desperate search for answers in a labyrinth of forgotten truths and creeping horrors. Who is the man behind the mask? What does he want? And what has Kairo already forgotten? In a world where memory is fragile and time is a lie, Kairo must face creatures lurking in the remnants of the past. Because sometimes... forgetting is the only way to survive.

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called "last hope." He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough. Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision: [Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.] Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual. Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s "legendary" starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life. Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first. After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

"Then I shall go. Wherever the hidden truth lies, I will seek it... I will find my answers, and everything that has been buried in the past—the forgotten past—I shall retrieve it." In the mystical realm of Yuan, Yena—born of both divine and mortal blood—seeks the truth behind her origins and the mystery of her mother’s death. But as she searches for answers, a new conspiracy brews in Tianlok, threatening to change everything. Determined to uncover the truth, Yena enters the Great Sect Tournament, an ancient battleground where strength, wit, and destiny collide. But this is no mere test of skill—the tournament holds the key to the very conspiracy she’s chasing. Joined by loyal companions, Yena must brave treacherous trials, unearth ancient secrets, and battle formidable foes—all in a desperate bid to reclaim the past and secure peace in Yuan. Yet, amidst the chaos, one figure stands by her side—a warrior whose gaze lingers too long, whose blade is always ready to defend her. But in a world built on deception, can she afford to trust the one who walks so close to her heart? As the shadows of an unspoken destiny creep closer, Yena is caught between the weight of forgotten legends and the path she must forge. The deeper she digs into the past, the question remains—is she uncovering the truth, or simply walking the same tragic path as her mother? Will she submit to the fate others have written for her, or defy those who seek to control her and carve her own destiny? Join me in this exhilarating saga of love, betrayal, and fate, where the past refuses to stay buried, and the future awaits its rewriting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Author: Hello, Readers!

They told me I was chosen. They lied." When Ren, a cynical high school dropout, dies in a suspicious "accident," he awakens in a nightmare laboratory—his right arm replaced by a living weapon that hungers for human souls. Branded as Subject 117 by the Ethéreals (a secretive cult masquerading as scientists), he’s forced to compete in a twisted experiment where: - The Rules Are Lies: The lab shifts into surreal hellscapes—a celestial circus with audience members made of mannequins, a banquet hall serving still-beating hearts—each revealing fragments of the Ethéreals' true goal. - His Only Ally is Hiding Something: Lumina, the cross-eyed priestess who rescued him, wears the same insignia as his torturers. When she’s fatally wounded, her body mutates into something no longer human—and she enjoys it. - The Ultimate Enemy is Family: Vaelis, Ren’s older brother, oversees the experiments with a smile. His living sword whispers secrets: "You were never the favorite, little brother. Just the most... edible." Now, Ren must decide: 1) Surrender to the arm’s hunger, devouring allies to ascend as a "god." 2) Burn the experiment down, even if it means becoming Subject 118’s cautionary tale.

Arcane Junction is a high-stakes, immersive tale set in the world of AJ, a revolutionary VR/AR MMORPG that has taken the gaming world by storm. Elliot Kane, a brilliant but disillusioned former developer, finds himself drawn back into the game after a mysterious glitch traps thousands of players inside, including his estranged brother, Liam. Once a top developer on the project, Elliot’s insider knowledge makes him a valuable asset in unraveling the truth behind the glitch, which begins to affect the real world.

Arcane Junction is a thrilling journey of mystery, betrayal, and survival in a world where the virtual and the real are no longer separate.

The cruelest part of time is that it never waits for anyone. It shatters, it wounds us and then heals us. It did the same for me, but did it really? Just as I thought I had evolved, distinguished, improved, I was pulled back to where it all began. Johnathan Liang hadn’t changed at all either. Same sharp gaze, same unreadable expression. Same man who once shattered me without a second thought. I met his eyes, and for a moment, I wondered if he saw it—the wreckage he left behind, the girl who once begged for his love had now changed. So, I smiled. Easy, effortless, like I had never bled for him. I watched his jaw tighten, his fingers curl ever so slightly. He sensed it, didn’t he? The forgiveness that wasn’t real. Because I had moved on. I had won. So, why did seeing him still feel like losing? And why was my life putting me through the same again? To love him all over again was impossible! I would never do that, at-least not until he was on his knees for me. *** She was a nightmare, like the ones in childhood. The ones that seem to have gone away, until they appear all over again one night. A secret of past and the present only you know. I for a second thought she’d changed when I laid eyes on her—because for the first time, I wasn’t sure if I hated her or wanted to know what had made her so untouchable. Elena Zhao was putting a great mask, as if she did not care about my presence. In-fact she was calm and poised--too calm and too poised that it irritated me. And I would have been a fool to neglect the resent that lingered beneath her stare despite her small smile. I had not chosen her in the past, I would not want to. But the circles life had put me in, it no longer mattered who I had to spend the rest of it with. Elena wasn't an exception right? There was no reason for her or anyone else to get under my skin. But damn it, she bugged me, like an itch creeping my skin which I couldn't seem to reach. (SPICY, DARK, ROMANTIC, INTENSE, TENSION GUARANTEED, CHEMISTRY, POWERCOUPLE) ************ [NO CLICHES & NO LONG BORING CHAPTERS GUARANTEED] Rewritten completely by me in 2025 march! I started in 2020 so, makes sense if the story isn't as thrilling. I have tried not to take away the original Idea. Good luck and have a great read. Your author- Prabhleen/Theunknownsoul

In a parallel reality, humanity thrives on Ether—a strange, potent energy harvested from the alien element Anonium. But progress has a price: the slow awakening of the Engine, an Eldritch machine lurking beyond comprehension, its intentions veiled in static and whispers. As its influence creeps into the world, society teeters on the edge of unraveling. Caught in this cosmic storm are two high school girls from Corwood, Tennessee. Rachel Harper, a fierce basketball captain, discovers she can bend time itself—each use warping her reflection with static and chipping away at her identity. Her best friend, Emily Voss, is plagued by visions of her own deaths across countless alternate lives, each fragment pushing her closer to despair. Together, they uncover cryptic ties between their powers and the Engine, though the purpose remains a haunting enigma. Enter Elijah Carter, a weathered P.I.A. agent with a rare gift: he sees echoes of the supernatural lingering in the air. Dispatched to investigate disturbances linked to Corwood’s new Ether reactor, Elijah finds himself outmatched by forces he can’t fully grasp. Meanwhile, the ruthless drug lord Dezerea Hernandez unleashes Gloom onto the streets—a substance that turns users into static-shrouded Hollows—hoping to expose a threat she believes endangers humanity. As Rachel’s connection to the Engine grows, its cold, mechanical logic threatens to consume her. Emily, sleepless and tormented by her visions, fights to defy a fate that feels inescapable. With the Engine’s awakening looming, the line between collapse and rebirth blurs. Can two teenage girls rewrite their destinies—or will they become footnotes in a story that breaks the very walls of reality? Warning: This meta cosmic horror tale weaves violence, psychological unease, heavy foreshadowing, red herrings, and fourth-wall fractures.

In a realm where immortality is a curse, survival is a war. Waled von Carstein, an undying lord bound by neither heaven nor hell, rules the shadowed citadel of Nachtspire with cold logic and an iron will. To the living, he is a monster; to his kin, he is the last hope. But when a betrayal shatters the fragile peace between vampires and mortals, Waled must forge alliances with the unlikeliest of allies: black-iron dwarves whose steam-powered war machines defy magic, and rogue high elves torn between loyalty to their corrupt queen and survival against a creeping Chaos. Yet the true enemy lies within. As Waled harvests fallen warriors to build his undead legion, he discovers a chilling truth: Eternal life demands eternal sacrifice. Every soul he resurrects erodes his humanity, and every drop of blood he takes binds him closer to the primal hunger he despises. Now, caught between the fanatical Holy Templars who brand him a devil and the scheming Eternal Queen Ariel who seeks to enslave his kind, Waled faces an impossible choice: Embrace the darkness to save his people, becoming the very tyrant the world fears? Sacrifice his throne to protect a humanity that will never accept him? But when an ancient evil awakens – one that devours both the living and the dead – Waled's war for survival becomes a battle for the soul of the world itself. "You call us parasites," he whispers to the dying paladin at his feet, "yet you bleed the earth dry for gold and glory. Who is the real monster here?"

Since the Great Fracture and the partial destruction of the Moon, Earth has become nothing more than a wasteland, devoured by corruption. An unknown gigantic sword, emerging from the infinitely distant reaches of the universe, pierced the Unnameable, impaling it upon the star of dreams. Now, humanity lives in a waking nightmare, struggling to survive in a world where Umbra and Lumen wage an endless battle. Cities are built around sacred sites, where Lumen, the only source of purification, is wielded to repel the creeping darkness. But Umbra, with its abominations born of the shadows, relentlessly threatens what remains of humanity. Gaël is stained by this darkness. Umbra flows within him, eating away at his body and mind, and each time he draws upon this forbidden power, he edges closer to madness. He knows his fate is sealed, that his chances of surviving what he is becoming are slim. But rather than cower in fear, he chooses another path. He wants to follow in the footsteps of the Brothers of the Sword. Where the chosen of Lumen purify, the Brothers cut and annihilate. Where the cities hide behind the light, they plunge into the darkness. Feared, revered, and shrouded in legend, these warriors are, for most, nothing more than children’s tales. Gaël knows his life will be short. So before he vanishes, he wants to uncover the truth behind these fables, and if possible, live a brief, glorious saga, cutting down a few abominations along the way.

Cyber Dream: The Blade of Capital In a futuristic metropolis, technology has transcended human imagination. Modified metallic prostheses, intelligent AI companions, brain-embedded neural networks, and sprawling virtual spaces create a world that feels almost magical. Diseases like cancer, once feared, are now trivial thanks to nano-medical robots. Yet beneath these marvels lurks a new threat—a creeping form of cyber-psychosis that erodes minds and souls. Our story follows Kestrel , a former corporate elite turned dissident. With a prosthetic body shimmering in neon light, he roams the city’s dangerous fringes. On a rain-soaked night atop a high-rise, as he surveys a dazzling yet distorted skyline, he asks, “What is capitalism?” This question is both a critique of old social orders and a call to awaken those numbed by high-tech splendor. Soon, Kestrel embarks on a perilous journey into cyberspace with his advanced AI companion, Victoria. In this digital labyrinth, data streams hide secrets; memories can be stolen and identities rewritten, blurring the line between reality and illusion. Together, they uncover a staggering conspiracy: colossal corporations covertly implant neural networks into people’s minds, manipulating thoughts and establishing total control over society. The narrative begins with the chapter “Awakening,” where vivid imagery of neon-lit streets and rain intermingled with laser beams sets a mesmerizing scene. Kestrel’s inner monologue reveals deep discontent with a world that is outwardly vibrant yet internally decaying. He recalls a simpler time while questioning if the human spirit can endure under the dehumanizing grip of technology. Is the cost of progress the loss of our very selves? As events unfold, Kestrel becomes entangled with an underground network orchestrated by corporate elites. This hidden collective arms rebels and exposes the grim truth at humanity’s core. Each cyber intrusion and virtual clash plunges him deeper into isolation and fear, even as Victoria begins to show signs of independent consciousness. Her struggle to blend logic with emerging emotions adds complexity to their mission. Cyber Dream: The Blade of Capital is more than a high-octane cyberpunk adventure filled with chases and confrontations; it is a profound exploration of freedom, power, and the nature of reality. As Kestrel’s rebellion and Victoria’s quest for self-awareness ignite a movement, the novel challenges us to question what it means to be truly free in a world where technology is both a tool for progress and a weapon of control. A thrilling journey awaits.

[When Prejudice Collides with Fate: Whose Trap Is This Mismatched Marriage?] Qin Ran had always believed that a man still trapped in the arranged-marriage circus at thirty must be either emotionally stunted or physically defective. But the universe had a wicked sense of humor—because the man waiting at Table 11 was a walking contradiction. Lu Sheng was a paradox of elegance and danger. His charcoal suit sculpted a body built for both boardrooms and back-alley brawls. When his gaze locked onto hers, the sharp lines of his face seemed to carve shadows into the air, the room suddenly heavy with the scent of cedar and unspoken threats. “I’m sorry, I think I’ve mistaken the table—” “Sit.” His voice cracked like a whip, freezing her mid-retreat. The glint of his platinum watch mirrored her death grip on the handbag strap. “If we’re both puppets in this family farce… let’s at least make it mutually beneficial.” Three days later, the marriage certificate seared her palm like a brand. She’d told herself this was a calculated escape from her brother’s suffocating household—until their wedding night, when the fresh scar snaking across his ribs screamed of bullets, not business deals. And when Lu Sheng shrugged off his shirt, water sluicing down the defined ridges of his abdomen, his smirk was pure sin: “Clause Three of our contract, Mrs. Lu—no coveting Party A’s assets.” She backed him against the glass wall, her fingers skating over the corded muscle of his spine. “Mr. Lu… does that clause include your six-pack?” [High-Stakes Romance | Marriage of Convenience | Enemies-to-Forced-Allies] — A billionaire with a bulletproof reputation and a vault of secrets. — A razor-tongued medical intern with a talent for unearthing truths. As lies ignite and bullets fly, only one rule remains: In this game of hearts and gunpowder, the first to fall… loses everything.

She was once an elite assassin, feared for her cunning mind and lethal skills. After years of operating in the shadows as the infamous "White Fox," she finally allowed herself a rare break—a vacation in the comfort of her modern apartment. While relaxing in her own sanctuary, the familiar world she knew suddenly shattered when a mysterious system activated, pulling her away from everything she had known and transmigrating her into a bizarre new realm.
