If I Lay Here Just Lay Here

Joshua has no idea what just happened. One second, his papa kissed him goodnight... and the next, he woke up in a glowing blue space, staring at a talking cat in a necktie. “You must rescue your papa,” the cat said seriously. Turns out, Joshua’s "silly" papa is in danger across multiple worlds—and only Joshua can save him! Determined, Joshua clenches his tiny fists and raises his chubby arms high: the mission to rescue papa begins! But Joshua didn’t expect bonus prizes along the way... “Why are you following me?” Joshua frowns at the red snake wrapped around his leg. In the blink of an eye, the snake turns into a boy a head taller than Joshua, throws his arms around him, and grins: “Come to the underworld with me! We have cake!” Joshua won’t be tricked so easily... but maybe he can eat the cake first then leave. That’s fair, right? . . . Alternate Title: “From an Egg to a Hero – I Beat Up All the Baddies to Protect My Poor Papa!” Note: Papa has no love interest. No weird pairings. Just one overprotective papa who adores his son—and a whole world that does too. This is a sweet, healing story filled with love and adventure.

I WAS JUST A SERVANT By Samkelisiwe Sithole (Mbazo) Zenande Mthembu was born into power, wealth, and pride — but one tragic car accident left her in a wheelchair, abandoned by her husband, and locked inside a golden prison of silence and bitterness. Once adored by society, now she's just the angry rich girl no one can help. Until Nokwanda walks in. Late for the job interview, dressed plainly as a servant, Nokwanda never expected to meet a woman like Zenande — fierce, arrogant, and secretly broken. But where others ran away, Nokwanda stayed. She saw the truth behind Zenande’s cold stares… and heard the silent cry for love. As Nokwanda cares for Zenande, the lines between duty and desire blur. Zenande, once married to a man, begins to feel something she's never felt before — not just attraction, but safety, softness, and the terrifying beauty of being loved by a woman. But love doesn’t come easily when society watches, secrets threaten, and someone from Zenande’s past is determined to destroy them both. “I Was Just a Servant” is a slow-burn, forbidden romance between two women from different worlds — one fighting to heal, and the other daring to love for the first time. Together, they’ll face betrayal, danger, and their own fears… for a love worth everything.

A rift revealing the Underworld — a dark, savage place where truth shatters, shadows live, and the chains of reality break.

I was a bully. Not the misunderstood type — the real deal. I ruined lives, made people cry, and laughed while doing it. Then I died. And woke up in a fantasy world full of swords, spells… and zero indoor plumbing.

Liam wasn’t supposed to be here. One moment, he was in his apartment. The next—standing in the middle of a bustling village, sunlight dappling through oak trees, the smell of fresh bread in the air. It was too normal. The villagers greeted him like an old friend. They knew his name. They asked about his "family." And when he played along, his own mouth answered for him—words he didn’t choose, memories he never lived. By day, the village was picturesque: market stalls, laughing children, a cozy cottage with his name on the deed. But at night? The roads shifted when no one was looking. The same faces appeared twice in the same crowd. And his reflection in the mirror… wasn’t his. Worst of all? No one else noticed. Because in this village, the only rule was simple: Pretend you belong—or whatever’s watching will make sure you never leave.
