THE CHRONOS TAPESTRY

The past is not dead; it's a living, breathing echo, and something ancient is stirring, threatening to unravel the very fabric of reality. Dr. Aris Thorne, a brilliant but cynical historical linguist, believes history is a fixed record. That conviction shatters when he unearths a peculiar, multi-limbed symbol in a remote Spanish cave. It's an Iberian etching, yet it resonates with an impossible familiarity—a chilling echo of a lesser-known Hanuman depiction from an ancient Ramayana text. Touching it, Aris is violently thrown into a temporal echo: a visceral, terrifying immersion in a cataclysmic aerial battle fought by impossibly advanced constructs of metal and fire under a bruised, alien sky. This isn't a vision; it's a raw, unfiltered memory pulsing from a Chronos Node—a point where the Chronos Weave, the very tapestry of time, has worn thin. Aris's world is upended, forcing him to confront a terrifying truth: ancient myths are not just stories, but encoded histories and prophecies of a forgotten global civilization, and their echoes are now bleeding into the present. His reluctant journey begins, guided by Guru Jai, an enigmatic antique dealer who reveals Aris's latent connection to the Dharma Keepers, a hidden lineage tasked with safeguarding these truths. As Aris races across continents, from the "stone whispers" of Russian megaliths hinting at Vanara legacies to the "sands of forgotten gods" in the Gulf where Rakshasa's shadows loom, each ancient site becomes a new Chronos Node, triggering more immersive temporal echoes and chilling "future glimmers" of probable, terrifying timelines. He discovers that the Ramayana is not just an epic, but a blueprint for a cyclical cosmic struggle between Dharma and Adharma, continuously unfolding. But Aris is not alone in his pursuit. He is hunted by The Chronos Collective, a shadowy, ancient organization led by the enigmatic "The Weaver." This powerful group believes humanity is too chaotic to govern its own destiny and is actively manipulating the Chronos Weave, seeking to impose a rigid, controlled future by exploiting the coming "Great Alignment." They aim to "correct" history's perceived flaws, even if it means erasing free will or orchestrating chaos. They seek to twist the ancient narratives for their own ends, perhaps even reawakening a controlled "Rakshasa's Shadow." With the brilliant astrophysicist Dr. Lena Petrova providing a scientific counterpoint, trying to quantify the inexplicable temporal phenomena, Aris finds himself in a desperate race against time. The "Great Alignment" is not just a cosmic shift; it's a pivotal moment where the threads of reality are most fluid, and the choices made in the present will irrevocably shape the future. "The Chronos Tapestry" is a pulse-pounding intellectual thriller and a mythological epic, where every discovery deepens the mystery, every echo reveals a new threat, and the fate of reality hangs in the balance. The past is a weapon, the future is a battlefield, and Aris Thorne is caught in the middle of a never-ending war for the very soul of time.

Behind His Smile

At a prestigious university in New York, psychology major Lena Hartley meets William Langston, a charismatic and sophisticated star of the art department. With his poetic charm and perfect manners, William seems like he stepped straight out of a romance novel. It doesn’t take long before Lena falls head over heels—and slowly opens up every part of herself to him. But the deeper she falls, the more suffocated she feels. Beneath William’s gentle exterior lies quiet control—he isolates her from others, monitors her phone, and dictates her social life. “I’m only doing this because I care,” he says with that ever-so-gentle smile. Just as Lena prepares to end the relationship, she discovers she’s pregnant. William is ecstatic. He promises to change, and for a while, their fragile relationship finds new peace. But it’s only the beginning of something far darker. After a sudden and suspicious miscarriage, William insists Lena "recover" at a secluded countryside estate. When she wakes up, she’s locked inside. He tells her, “This is our home now. I’m protecting you—from the world.” To everyone else, Lena is on a sabbatical abroad, grieving the loss of her child. In reality, she’s disappeared without a trace. During her captivity, Lena discovers the horrifying truth—William suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and she’s not the first person he’s tried to "love." Meanwhile, her aloof future stepbrother Sebastian has been quietly investigating William’s past, driven by a mysterious grudge that links the two men in ways Lena never imagined. When the truth is finally revealed, Lena realizes she didn’t meet William by chance. She was chosen—carefully, deliberately, and long before she ever knew his name. And the one man she never thought would save her… might be her only chance at freedom— and maybe even love.

Fragmented fugitive

Seven strangers' memory fragments are embedded in his mind, and the tech giant that put them there is hell-bent on erasing him. Renowned neuroscientist Alex Reyes awakens in a sterile medical facility, his mind a terrifying blank slate. A sudden, visceral "flashback" – becoming a dancing girl in a Mumbai slum – reveals the horrifying truth: the implant in his brain isn't a cure. It's fragments of seven strangers' lives. Worse, NeuroSync, the company he worked for, has launched a global hunt to eliminate him. Alex's only ally is Lena Kovac, a jaded former war correspondent who scents the story of a lifetime. Together, they race across continents, from neon-lit cities to shadowed alleyways. Alex battles a torrential "memory labyrinth": one moment he's a scarred veteran in St. Petersburg, the next an elderly Parisian guarding buried secrets. The hacker skills of a Silicon Valley whiz or the courage of an African eco-warrior become vital tools for survival. Each flashback grants new abilities but deepens his agonizing identity crisis: *Who am I?* Pulling the strings is the chillingly charismatic NeuroSync CEO, Dr. Kaelen Shaw. She will stop at nothing to protect "Project Echo." This technology, capable of stealing, editing, and weaponizing human memory, threatens to reshape thought itself if unleashed. Guidance from the cryptic "Watcher" is dubious, and NeuroSync's hunters close in relentlessly. Alex must piece together his own fractured, potentially damning past while unraveling the conspiracy closing in on him. Betrayal. Flight. Awakening. The final battle for identity, memory, and human freedom rages across both physical and mental battlefields. Can Alex master the seven echoes within his mind, find himself at the labyrinth's heart, and stop memory from becoming the ultimate weapon to rewrite the world?

Transmigrated as an Omega: Claimed and Mated to Two Alpha Brothers

Transmigrated into a werewolf realm, bound to two mates, and accused of treason—she woke up chained, beaten, and moments away from execution and death. But this wasn’t her life. It wasn’t even her real world. The last thing Lena Wexford remembered was dying—paralyzed in a hospital bed while she watched her fiancé, the same man she had loved and vowed to spend her life with, have sex with her younger sister as the poison he gave her shut her body down. She was supposed to die. That was supposed to be the end. But instead, she was given a second chance at revenge—and she took it. Only, she opened her eyes in Lykaris, the savage werewolf realm… inside the body of a powerless, wolfless, and rejected omega named Lana. A woman who looked exactly like her, but couldn’t have been more different. A woman charged with treason—for poisoning the Alpha—her husband and mate. And as if that wasn’t enough, she feels a strong mate bond with the second in command of the pack—the Alpha’s younger brother, thesame man Lana had been having an affair with. Now, with two fading mate bonds, a brutal System built for vengeance, and a deadly mission she must complete in order to return home, but Lena was given  one rule: Survive. Level up. And when the time comes—burn everything down. Because if she dies here, there’s no second chance. This time, death is forever. But is it really that simple? Lana was hated by the entire pack. Her family had been branded traitors for helping a rival clan in a war that nearly wiped the pack out. She was shunned—not just for being the traitor’s daughter, but for being weak… and wolfless. But fate had other plans—binding and mating her to the two most powerful wolves in the realm. Two brothers. Two rulers. And two Alphas. Both of them are determined to dominate her.

Echo Border

On the war-torn fringes of the world, the only guideposts are echoes of emotion. Samira possesses a rare and dangerous gift: she can perceive *Echoes*—the intangible imprints left behind by lingering emotions, memories, and unresolved obsessions haunting the world. This ability saved her amidst the chaos of war, yet it also marked her as an outcast in the refugee camp where she sought shelter. When her young brother, Karim—her only family—was lost during their desperate flight, a shattered Samira grasped a faint, achingly familiar cry within the tumultuous *Echo Realm*: the sound of her brother's terror. Karim is alive, but he is in grave danger. His fierce will to survive has inadvertently become a pulsing Echo beacon, guiding Samira towards him. Yet, finding him is perilous. A shadowy organization known as the *Silencers* hunts those like Samira—*Listeners*—viewing their abilities as a threat. Isolated and hunted, Samira encounters *Elias*—a world-weary, fading Listener who understands the peril of the Echoes and the ruthlessness of the Silencers. She is also unexpectedly aided by *Lena*, a pragmatic and kind-hearted volunteer. Lena, initially skeptical of Samira's "delusions," is ultimately moved by her fierce determination. Samira, her cynical mentor Elias, and the grounded Lena form a mismatched yet resolute trio. They must traverse hostile borders, sprawling cities, and corners steeped in painful Echoes, following the trail of Karim's emotional resonance on a harrowing cross-border quest. Samira's gift is their only guide, but each touch of an Echo pushes her closer to the verge of collapse. With the Silencers closing in and Karim's situation growing ever more desperate, Samira must learn to harness her power under Elias's guidance and leverage Lena's real-world resourcefulness to overcome relentless obstacles. Ultimately, she will confront the dark heart of the Silencers and uncover a secret hidden within Karim far more astonishing than she ever imagined. To save her brother, Samira must embrace the full extent of her power, unleashing the torrent of emotion buried deepest within the Echo Realm—a force of destruction and a beacon of redemption.

Mated To Four, Fated To One

“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs. “What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. “I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further. “Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him. “Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward. “At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me. “That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine. “You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress. “Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me. I lost my balance and tripped. *** Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her. Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house. I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless. Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet. I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen. Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress. I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.

Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight.

I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind.

Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone.

London Undercurrent: Psychic Walker

Under the misty and historically sedimented surface of London, there is a hidden current that ordinary people cannot imagine. Eighteen year old Alan Shaw grew up at the "Herbal Hall" Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown, East London, and was raised by a mysterious grandfather. He leads an ordinary to almost boring life: helping his grandfather manage the pharmacy during the day, smelling the fragrance of licorice and angelica; At night, they sweat and move cold goods in the dock warehouse. Fatigue is his norm, and occasionally when his fingertips brush over metal or candlelight, the fleeting strange "flowing sensation" is also attributed to his own overwork or nerve sensitivity. Grandfather's warning - 'Hide yourself, don't reveal anything special' - is the iron rule of his life. However, on a foggy midnight, fate rudely tore open the curtain of his peaceful life. On the shortcut in the abandoned shipyard area, Allen was dragged into the darkness by a sound that was not a human fight: the wild beast like roar tore apart the silence, and the metallic roar carried a piercing chill. Curiosity and an indescribable pull overwhelmed his fear of the unknown, leading him into the depths of the shadows of the steel ruins. There, he witnessed an unimaginable sight: a pale and swift ghostly figure ( Blood Clan ) engaged in a fierce battle with a muscular and partially beastly strong man ( Werewolf ) under the moonlight. Their power transcends the boundaries of physics, as blood light and claws pierce through thick fog. Even more deadly, a wild werewolf out of control sensed his gaze and charged straight towards him! At the critical moment, the suppressed and vaguely perceived "energy" in Allen's body fluctuated uncontrollably, like a stone thrown into a calm pond, instantly disrupting the invisible force field of the entire battlefield. This unexpected energy ripple not only exposed him, but also attracted the intervention of a mysterious woman who claimed to be the Guardian, Lena White. Her appearance saved Allen, but also plunged him completely into the hidden abyss known as' The Veiled World 'beneath the glamorous facade of London. Alan finally realized that the "energy" he perceived was the power of the origin of all things - Anima. Those who are born or awakened, able to perceive, absorb, and use spiritual energy like him, are called Animates. In this world, wizards weave arcades, witches communicate with nature, vampires (a blood race that claims to be the "Crimson Council") thirst for eternal life, werewolves (following the ancient "Silver Moon Oath") roar under the moon, and various forces such as alchemists, Druids, and psychic warriors maintain a fragile balance under ancient rules, hiding together in mortal society. And what broke this balance and caused a bloody storm was a mysterious organization called 'Ouroboros'. They crazily chased after the nine legendary Prime Glyphs left by ancient beings, each representing a subversive and almost world rule-based way of using spiritual energy, such as the "Weaving of Life" that manipulates life, the "Anchor Point of Time and Space" that interferes with time and space, and the "Return of All Things" that devours all things... They are powerful enough to rewrite reality and the ultimate treasure coveted by all ambitious people.
