Barefoot Dreams Stargazer

Have you ever felt like you were trapped in an endless nightmare? A world where survival is a cruel game, and reality itself is a lie? When a Black Hole consumes Earth, billions vanish instantly. The few survivors awaken in the Tower Realm, a battleground where hundreds of worlds clash in brutal trials. Every night, they are forced into the Dreamscape, where only the strongest survive. To win means advancement. To lose means corruption. To give up means annihilation. In this merciless struggle, the only way forward is to fight, evolve, and uncover the truth behind the Tower. But as the battle rages on, one question lingers: Is escape even possible, or is this nightmare only beginning?

In every school and college, there are popular students who attract attention with their above-average beauty and charisma. In the school institution there is a group of people from wealthy families. They have power and freedom that ordinary people can envy them. A new student, Gabriel, feels like a mouse in a trap when he falls into conflict with a friend of the school princess — Clara. The girl who stands up for him arouses shock and disbelief in everyone. She — comes from a wealthy family, he — supported by a poor grandmother. How shocking will the fact that they have many things in common, including a dark past that will trap them in her dreams, turn out to be when they meet again?

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

In the decaying Gothic city of Gebraucht, once famed for its miraculous medicine, a mysterious plague has twisted many into nightmarish beasts. Cut off from the world, survivors formed The Hunters—warriors wielding enchanted weapons and embracing forbidden rituals to reclaim their city. As the Hunt begins, Yuli Yasui B. Hoffen, a newly inducted Hunter, steps into the chaos, determined to purge the horrors. But beneath the blood-soaked streets, the city's darkest secrets lurk, waiting to be uncovered.

Before there was light there were the Nightmares, and before that, there were the things that feasted upon the nightmares, the dark. Those that were born from the Darkness, at the birth of the First light of the Cosmic Sands that helped the worlds take shape. When the very first of the soul-possessing creatures, the lightborne witnessed the darkness, they sought to destroy it, fearing that would consume all things in its Voidfull Sea, but in their folly, their hubris had undone a fundamental aspect of the cosmos. Without the threat of the darkness to stave off the nightmares, all the worlds within each stellar grain became the prey they could hunt without limit. Grain by grain, world by world was lost, consumed by the nightmares, expanding the reach of the Voidfull Sea. But their hunger would not go unchecked, as the lightborne that remained, sought to correct the faults of their ancestors. Using the antithesis of the nightmare's might, they empowered a chosen few with their dreams, and with that, they forced the nightmares back into the Voidfull Sea. Using their light, they shielded the Cosmic Sands, from the reach of the abyssal waters. But where there is light, darkness will be born to soon consume it, and for some, the light isn't strong enough to keep the nightmares away. These grains, these unguarded worlds, without their light, their now, dustborne find those with that can once again wield the might of their dreams. For someone must, they must bear our dreams with the strength to achieve them. They may never have wanted a part in this ageless war, but they have now been entrusted with our hopes, the very last of our Dreams.

Cloud has always been an outcast—whether in an orphanage, the capital, or even the realm of the dead. All he has is an impossible dream: to become an Ascendant, strong enough to protect those who cannot protect themselves. But to achieve that dream, he must enter the Yokai Realm, a nightmarish world beyond reality, where the dead rise as vengeful Phantoms. The only way to survive is to steal their foxfire—or be consumed by it. In a world where dreams are shattered and the past refuses to die, can Cloud carve his own path to power, or will he be lost to the darkness?

Some dreams are too real. Some won’t let you wake up. Ralph Kinison is a washed-up private investigator with nothing left but his cheap whiskey, a failing career, and a city that wants him dead. In 1970s Long Island, crime and corruption rule the streets, and a man like Ralph barely scrapes by. But then he wakes up in Strata—a city unlike anything he’s ever seen. Towers of chrome touch the sky, rivers glow like molten gold, and suffering doesn’t seem to exist. It’s a perfect utopia, untouched by time or crime. It shouldn’t be real… but it feels more real than the world he’s trying to escape. Each time he closes his eyes, he slips between the two realities—one rotting and broken, the other flawless but unsettling. Is Strata a dream? A hallucination? Or something far more dangerous? As the mystery unfolds, Ralph discovers that utopia is never free. Something is bleeding through from Strata, and the deeper he digs, the more reality begins to crack. To survive, he must unravel a conspiracy that spans two worlds before both collapse around him. A mind-bending noir thriller blending detective fiction, dystopian sci-fi, and existential mystery. If you love Philip K. Dick, cyberpunk noir, and reality-warping crime stories, Dreams of Strata will pull you in and never let go. New chapters updated regularly!

Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.
