Welcome to a world where nothing is as it seems… A realm that shimmers with enchantment on the surface, but underneath lies a chilling darkness — one born from the shadows of human nature itself. In this magical yet twisted world, faces wear masks, and trust is a luxury no one can afford. Here, magic is not a gift — it's a burden, a force manipulated by power-hungry beings. And the entire world hangs by a thread… a thread held by mercy, manipulation, and the secrets of those who rule it. At the center of it all is Nexa — a mysterious woman cloaked in secrets, feared by many, known to few. She’s not your ordinary villain; she kills without hesitation, driven by motives no one understands. Her eyes hold storms, her presence invites death — and yet, there’s something more. Something deeper. Something broken. Nexa hides a past so dark, so devastating, that even she’s buried it beneath layers of blood and betrayal. But the chaos can’t go unchallenged. Enter Aurora — a brilliant, sharp-minded magical detective who specializes in controlling and tracing the flow of magic. Haunted by the increasing number of magical crimes, Aurora vows to uncover the one responsible. With courage as her compass and justice as her goal, she begins her hunt for the criminal mastermind. She doesn't know… she’s hunting Nexa. But fate has its own twisted sense of humor. As Nexa tries to eliminate Aurora, something unexpected happens — she falls in love with her. The killer and the protector. The secret-keeper and the truth-seeker. Two opposites caught in a storm of emotions, destiny, and lies. As feelings ignite and boundaries blur, Aurora is forced to ask: Why is Nexa killing the innocent? What is she hiding? And can love survive in a world built on shadows? Dark. Dangerous. Seductive. This is not just a story about good vs. evil — it's a tale of two souls bound by fate, fighting on opposite sides of the same war, only to realize the greatest enemy might not be each other… But the truth. Prepare to enter a world where magic breathes, secrets bleed, and love is the most dangerous spell of all.

Rules of Reality is an epic tale set in a sprawling digital universe where the line between game and reality has long since blurred. Eden, a once-glorious virtual world, is on the brink of collapse. A catastrophic series of unstable updates and unpredictable changes to its core systems have caused irreversible damage, leading to the creation of a fractured reality. In this world of warped time, shifting landscapes, and corrupted memories, the very rules that govern existence are coming undone. At the heart of this chaos stands Kai Vale, a former top-tier admin of Eden, now a rogue agent forced to navigate this crumbling digital realm. Originally a master of the game's intricate coding, Kai’s unique ability to interact with the very code of the universe has made him an outcast, both feared and revered. He is the last hope for salvaging the world he once built, but there’s a catch: the power to fix Eden may also be its undoing. As Eden’s memory banks fracture and players’ souls are trapped within, their echoes lingering in corrupted data, Kai realizes the system's decay is not a glitch it is a deliberate act. Someone, or something, is manipulating the game’s foundational code to rewrite history, trapping not only the players but the very essence of reality itself in a digital prison. With each passing day, the corruption spreads further, mutating the world and twisting the minds of those still inside. Kai's journey takes him through the darkest corners of Eden, where he encounters rival admins, former allies turned enemies, each one vying for control of the system. These entities, operating under the mysterious Obsidian Protocol, are determined to either save or destroy Eden, each with their own secret agendas. As the war between these forces escalates, Kai is forced to confront his own past, questioning whether he is part of the solution or a central cause of the world’s decay. But the stakes are even higher than they appear. Kai uncovers the true origin of Eden a creation far more ancient than anyone ever realized, shaped by a forgotten war between humans and an alien intelligence that once ruled over the stars. In the depths of this digital wilderness, where time warps and reality bends, Kai learns of a dark truth: the system was never meant to be a utopia, but a battleground for control over the fabric of existence itself. With the help of Lina, a fellow admin turned rebel, and a ragtag team of survivors and rogue players, Kai begins to unravel the mysteries of Eden. Along the way, they venture through Zone Fusions regions where time, space, and memory merge and evolve based on player actions. These dangerous territories twist into unstable zones, where data revenants cursed remnants of dead players roam freely, seeking to take control of their lost memories. Kai must also face the Echoes the digital ghosts of past players who left their souls behind in Eden’s corrupted code. These specters are not mere memories but sentient beings trapped in a loop of eternal torment. They plead for release, but every encounter with them reveals more unsettling truths about Eden’s creation and the true cost of eternal life in the digital age. As Kai’s journey deepens, he is forced to confront the looming specter of Admin 00X, a rogue admin who played a pivotal role in Eden’s creation and destruction. Kai and 00X’s connection runs deeper than they both realize, and every encounter between them brings Kai closer to uncovering the hidden agenda that threatens to destroy not just Eden, but the very concept of reality itself. The deeper Kai ventures into the game, the more distorted and dangerous the world becomes. Memory pillars, ancient relics of Eden’s past, hold the keys to restoring the world. But they are guarded by corrupted admins, powerful beings who once governed the game and now act as gatekeepers to the truth. Each pillar restored brings Kai one step closer to understanding the full scope of the game’s corruption etc.........

[This book is complete] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]

In a cosmos where the Heavenly Dao is broken, its seven sentient Aspects warring for dominance, true power is not found in brute force, but in understanding. In the Empyrean Realm, Jian Feng, the Young Lord of the ancient Azure Dragon Clan, is a prodigy unlike any other. Born with an unnerving calm and a mind that operates on a level beyond his peers, he is respected for his wisdom and feared for his unfathomable intellect. While others cultivate Qi, Jian Feng cultivates schemes, his every move part of a grand design years in the making. His serene life of study is shattered when a silent, horrifying plague descends upon his clan’s territories. Entire villages are discovered not dead, but hollowed out, their life force and spiritual energy harvested with terrifying precision, leaving behind nothing but fragile husks of dust. Where others see a curse or a demonic art, Jian Feng perceives the horrifying truth through his secret ability: the Star-Chart of a Myriad Daos. This system, bound to his soul, is no simple interface; it allows him to perceive the fundamental threads of reality. He sees that the plague is no random act of violence, but a clean, industrial-scale harvest, its tracks erased by a masterful manipulation of the Dao of Ruin. This single crime pulls Jian Feng into a vortex of cosmic conspiracy. He soon discovers the "whispering plague" is merely a symptom of the silent war between the seven Aspects of the Heavenly Dao, a conflict that threatens to unravel all of existence. To confront a power that can challenge heaven itself, Jian Feng knows he cannot rely on strength alone. He must forge an alliance of unprecedented power—the Celestial Constellation.

“Time doesn’t just pass. Sometimes… it waits. Watches. Repeats. Consumes.” Elias Rehn is a clockmaker in the fog-choked alleys of an unnamed city lost between Victorian London and ancient Kyoto. Quiet, solitary, and methodical—he lives a predictable life marked by one strange pattern: He always wakes at 4:44 AM. Every. Single. Day. No alarm. No reason. No escape. But on the forty-fourth morning, his reflection blinks half a second too late. And whispers: “I’m you. From tomorrow.” Suddenly, Elias finds himself pulled into an endless loop of fractured time, cursed mirrors, and split identities across paradox-bound timelines. In one life, he is a guilt-ridden clockmaker. In another, a silent shinobi from a forgotten dynasty. Elsewhere, a war historian who catalogues futures that never happened. And in the deepest layer—a child who remembers everything, but has no mouth to scream. Each version of himself leaves breadcrumbs behind—echoes of déjà vu, sleep paralysis, suicidal dreams, and whispers in glass. But as the loops spiral out of control, Elias begins to understand: He was never a man stuck in time. He was Time's anomaly—the glitch in a system older than reality. And something ancient, something not human, is trying to overwrite him. The more he remembers, the less real the world becomes. And the closer he gets to the truth… …the more he forgets who he ever was. “You don’t escape the mirror by breaking it. You escape by becoming what it reflects.”

Every step toward the truth awakens a darker side of her—a side that knows how to kill without mercy, vanish without a trace, and manipulate the very science that erased her past. But in a game where loyalty is currency and her own mind is the battlefield, how do you trust yourself? "Dust of Her Mind" is a pulse-pounding spy thriller with a psychological edge, blending Namibian heat with cold betrayal, and one woman’s fight to piece herself back together—before the ghosts she forgot come back to finish the job.

I am the youngest son of the Jaegal clan’s leader — and a failure. At twelve, they discovered I suffered from an incurable condition: I couldn’t cultivate or manipulate formations. To my family, that was the same as being dead. Without honor or future, I was sent to a place no one took seriously: the Low Mist Sect — a handful of forgotten monks in the mountains, with no warriors, no reputation, no power. The only thing they cultivate is silence. Mocked as cowards and laughed at by the entire murim world, they never raise swords — but they know exactly where swords will fall. And it was there, among shadows and silence… that I began to see the world as it truly is.
