Jason Welt never expected his water vibration experiments to uncover one of humanity’s oldest secrets. When ripples in water began forming glyphs—symbols that echoed across ancient myths and neural pathways alike—Jason and his growing team of researchers stumbled upon a connection between water, consciousness, and the stars themselves. As they dive deeper into this universal language, their discoveries ignite a global movement of curiosity and defiance. From ancient ruins in the Amazon to distributed experiments led by an online community, Jason and his team piece together the truth behind the glyphs—patterns that may hold the key to humanity’s origins and our place in the cosmos. But not everyone wants the truth to surface. Shadowy forces work to silence Jason, erasing data and threatening lives to keep the glyphs buried. With time running out, Jason must rally the world to uncover the ultimate question: What is water remembering, and why has it chosen now to speak?

Their expressions ranged from astonishment to sheer terror. 'Monster', everyone thought in their hearts. Looking at the faces of disbelief in front of him, Kael thought helplessly, 'It didn’t even take a second.'

A Russian agent, witnessing Akio’s loss, takes him under his wing, driven by pity for the innocent victims of war.

As Akio matures into a young man, he works the land of his adopted family, learning the ways of this new world. However, fate is unkind once again as his village is invaded, and his parents are killed. Filled with sorrow and confusion, Akio questions whether he is cursed.

At age 7, Akio begins magical training, as children in this world gain magical powers at this age.

Akio struggles to balance his desire for peace with the brutal reality of war, and his identity as the "Demon Lord of Tyranny" takes root. As Akio battles both external enemies and the pressure from within, he faces the ultimate question: Can he break free from the cycle of violence that has defined his existence, or will he fall into the same patterns of power and destruction that have plagued him across worlds?

At the dawn of the New Era Calendar, humanity broke free from the confines of Earth and established a new order beyond the Milky Way. In this vast expanse of the stars, filled with both the unknown and hope, humanity witnessed rapid technological advancements and unprecedented expansion of its civilization. The annihilation of the insectoid race was celebrated as a historic victory, with the Earth Celestial Force securing its dominance. Meanwhile, corporate giants seized the opportunity to stretch their influence to far-off galaxies, exploiting resources and colonizing new worlds, propelling humanity into an era of unparalleled interstellar prosperity. Yet, beneath the veneer of progress lay hidden perils. Driven by greed and ambition, humanity neglected to respect the unknown. An exploratory fleet, jointly deployed by the Earth Celestial Force and corporate alliances, inadvertently ventured into a mysterious, energy-laden star system. There, they uncovered an ancient ruin, seemingly belonging to a species far older and more powerful than the insectoid race. However, the activation of this relic awakened a dormant threat buried deep in the cosmic void. The remnants of the insectoid race began to resurface, having evolved far beyond any prior records. Worse still, a new horror emerged—massive creatures known as Star Beasts. Star Beasts, colossal entities comparable in size to small planets, possess the power to obliterate fleets and consume worlds. Their behavior defies all known patterns, yet it seems to be driven by a purpose that transcends biological instinct. Their arrival disrupted the fragile balance of the universe and fractured the tenuous alliances within human civilization. Under the pressure of dwindling resources and escalating conflict, corporate factions began pursuing their own interests, while the Earth Celestial Force struggled to rally the scattered powers of humanity to resist the twin threats of the insectoids and the Star Beasts. As the war escalated, more secrets about the Star Beasts came to light. These creatures were likely not products of natural evolution but creations of an intelligence beyond human comprehension. Additionally, the resurgence of the insectoids revealed a shocking truth: they were never humanity’s ultimate enemy but merely pawns in a far greater cosmic game. Faced with the dual crises of internal division and external invasion, humanity must find a way to strike a balance. Will they persist in their path of expansion and conquest, or will they choose to coexist with the unknown? The answer lies in a final, decisive battle that will determine the survival of their civilization.

Its stones bear markings that defy time and language, its foundations whispering secrets older than civilization itself.

The mysteries revealed will not simply rewrite what we know—they may redefine who we are allowed to become.

Hello! My name is Aman Vasuki. I belong to the Royal Family of Vasuki Clan which is the Clan of Shapeshifting Serpents. Currently, I am working as a caretaker of a human boy named Mei Wei. Why? Because I am going to kill his father…. Aman's life was like a dream. He belonged to the Royal Family of a Clan of Shapeshifting Serpents.

But one day this dream got shattered… On the night of blood moon, when he was stripped off his powers, four humans ruined him. They took what was most precious to him…. But, now he is back to get his revenge on the very people that snatched his world from him. But why does Mei Wang's son always give him a look which is filled with love? And why does his heart suddenly start feeling calm when he is close to Mei Wei? Excerpt: The cold wind was blowing with a swoosh sound. The area was dead silent despite four people being there and a fifth pair of eyes looking at them. Aman's upper human body was glistening with a little sweat, Meanwhile his lower body was turned into a fiery red snake's. The golden pattern on it shining under the moonlight. In this snake tail, he was holding a trembling human. He was trembling with fear of death. Aman brought him closer and looked at him closely. He turned back, his long red hair blowing with the wind, suddenly he laughed out loud but this laugh was not heartily but bone chilling, "I am so happy to see the fear of death in your eyes, SAGE SAETANG!" He laughed again, "I think this look of fear suits all three of you. You know, when I killed your friend Melvin he was even crying and even begging me to spare him. Unfortunately, death is inevitable. Is it not?" Aman asked Sage, as he brought him closer and rubbed his hair with his hand like a child. He was smiling but his eyes were filled with killing intent. The rub resulted in Sage's scalp becoming numb, he furiously nodded, "of course his pathetic twin brother did not fare any better. I did not get the feeling of originality, you know." Aman pouted, showing his dissatisfaction, "wailing and gaping like a fish out of water. He even offered me that he would give all of his properties to me? But what use could I have of that. This look of fear provides me with much satisfaction than any riches in the world." "And now, now the same look is in your eyes. I bet you can see death standing somewhere. But why are you not pleading? At least cry a little," Aman told Sage whose mouth was still sealed. Cold flashes in his eyes and he started tightening the coiling of his tail around Sage's body, "forget it. Do as you please. After all it's your own death. But don't blame me if Mei Wang cries louder and surpasses you when I kill him." He showed a smile that made Sage's stomach flip, "I can't wait anymore to kill-" "AMAN!!" The shout was loud enough but Aman could even feel the emotions hidden in it, shock, betrayal, disbelief and extreme hurt. His whole demeanour fell on the ground, he also changed back into a complete human. Sage also fell on the hard ground with him. Aman looked up and there he was. Standing in front of him was Mei Wei…. **** How would Mei Wei react? And will their relationship survive this? What did those four people do to destroy Aman's life? Why does he want to take revenge?

Losing 145,000 ETH was a nightmare that I never expected to experience. I had spent years building my portfolio, taking meticulous care with my investments, and managing my wallet with as much caution as possible. However, a combination of a technical glitch and an unfortunate series of human errors led to me losing access to my funds. My heart sank when I realized my 45,000 ETH was gone, and I had no way of accessing it. I felt completely helpless. The first step I took was to reach out to a few well-known recovery services, as I was desperate to reclaim what I had lost. Unfortunately, what followed was a series of disappointing, frustrating, and ultimately futile attempts. Many of these companies promised to recover my ETH in no time, with flashy websites and exaggerated guarantees. But as the days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, I began to notice a disturbing pattern: they took my fees, continued to offer vague updates, and in the end, I saw no progress. I had already given them large sums of money with little more than generic excuses and occasional, empty reassurances. I was beyond frustrated, feeling that I had been taken advantage of by the very people who were supposed to help. After these failed experiences, I was at my wit’s end. I was almost ready to accept that my 145,000 ETH was lost forever, when I came across CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES . At first, I was cautiously optimistic but wary after my previous setbacks. However, I decided to give them a chance, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Unlike the other firms I’d dealt with, they did not offer promises or guarantees of success. Instead, they took a thoughtful and methodical approach. Their team immediately conducted a thorough assessment of my situation and outlined the steps involved in the recovery process. They were transparent from the beginning, explaining the technical challenges and setting realistic expectations. This honesty and clarity immediately set them apart from the other companies I had worked with, who had made wild claims without ever understanding the specifics of my case. The team at CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES didn’t just throw generic solutions at the problem; they engaged with the issue at hand with a level of technical sophistication and expertise that I had not seen before. They carefully analyzed my wallet, the associated blockchain transactions, and the error that had caused me to lose my funds. They also explained the cryptographic protocols involved and how they would go about recovering the ETH. Throughout the process, I was kept informed every step of the way. No hidden fees, no vague answers—just real, genuine effort. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of hard work, CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES successfully returned my 45,000 ETH. I was stunned. After months of setbacks and disappointments, I had almost given up hope. But CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES made it happen. They brought back what I thought was irretrievably lost, and in doing so, they restored my faith in genuine recovery efforts.

A thousand years after humanity's extinction, Earth thrives under nature’s relentless reclamation. Cities have crumbled, replaced by dense jungles pulsing with bioluminescent life and evolved ecosystems. In this post-human world, a new dominant species, Homo nova, emerges—descendants of humanity’s desperate genetic engineering. These beings, glowing with bioluminescent patterns and communicating through light and chemical signals, live in harmony with their surroundings, guided by instinct and collective survival. Nova is different. While its kind moves in unison with the rhythms of the jungle, Nova feels the pull of something more—a curiosity that sets it apart. Rebirth is a tale of survival, discovery, and evolution, where the remnants of humanity’s brilliance and hubris collide with the dawn of a new species. As Nova navigates a fractured world filled with ancient artifacts and unspoken dangers, it faces the challenge of becoming not just a survivor, but a bridge between the past and the future.

Eliar Vayne was a man who thrived on logic, a mathematician devoted to unraveling the universe’s most complex mysteries. But when an experiment in his lab goes catastrophically wrong, he finds himself thrust into a shattered, alien world—a place ruled by chaos and cruelty, where survival is the only law. In this desolate realm of jagged landscapes and crimson skies, Eliar is no longer bound by the rules of his old life. Here, power is drawn from the raw energy pulsing through the world itself—a chaotic force that bends to those strong enough to command it. For Eliar, logic is his only weapon. With his understanding of patterns and equations, he begins to shape the energy into spells unlike anything this world has seen. But the world he’s been thrown into is not merciful. Predators stalk the shadows, rival survivors would sooner kill than trust, and the land itself seems alive with malevolent intent. Eliar must adapt quickly, forging alliances where he can and outwitting enemies who see his intellect as weakness. Every step forward is a battle, every mistake a potential death sentence. As Eliar navigates this unforgiving world, he uncovers traces of an ancient civilization—a people who once mastered the same energy he now wields. Their downfall holds the key to understanding this broken realm, and perhaps, to Eliar’s survival. But the deeper he delves into the world’s secrets, the more he realizes the truth: this world has no intention of letting him leave unscathed. Driven by the faint hope of carving out a peaceful existence, Eliar must endure relentless trials and confront the darkness within himself. In a world without mercy, only those who embrace the chaos will survive.

WSA 2024 entry Synopsis: In the not-so-distant future, a group of Earthlings find themselves mysteriously transported to the Nexus Realm, a fantastical world besieged by monstrous creatures. With no way out of the craziness, they reluctantly joined forces with the realm's inhabitants to combat the constant threat of these otherworldly beasts. To defend the Nexus or Nexaria, powers were bestowed upon them with the promise of returning home after successfully repelling the monsters dangling before them like a carrot. Years passed, and the initial camaraderie between the heroes slowly began to crumble. Still, the Protagonist, Adrian Fenrir, with his power known as Analysis, played a crucial role in understanding the monsters' patterns and weaknesses. However, as the group became more adept at handling the threats, they grew increasingly independent and, perhaps, arrogant. One day, due to a series of mishaps, Adrian found himself surrounded by assassins. He tried his best to drive them off but failed and met a bitter end. It didn't take long for the assassins to do their work, and as per the contractor's request, they decided to dispose of Adrian's corpse by selling it to a mad scientist known for his experiments with creatures from the Nexaria. In need of a fresh subject for his latest project, the scientist transformed Adrian into a chimaera, a fusion of humans and monsters to be sold as a weapon for war. However, the scientist's plan backfired when Adrian, against all odds, regained consciousness within his chimaera body.

[Mature Content +18] Hi everyone. If you are bored, I invite you to the amazing adventure of a young man Ramiel, who was betrayed by his comrades (I know, very original.) At first, it may seem boring and full of well-known patterns, but trust me, I have many cool ideas for the future. On a lighter note, it is worth mentioning that this is an R-18 novel with a lot of this kind of stuff. Cultural people will certainly understand. The real story begins after the first few chapters and will consist of the management and development of the dungeon. You won't find a system here that will hand the main character everything on a golden platter. If you think that women will be useless here, you are sorely mistaken. Each of them will be a huge help to the main character and not just an unnecessary addition. I forgot to add that: this is my first novel. ~~~~~~ Don't be scared off by the voluminous first chapters. They are so long because I rewrote them. ~~~~~~ Check reviews before you read. I explained a lot of things there. ~~~~~~ 20 power stones = one extra chapter 50 power stones = two extra chapters 20 golden tickets = one extra chapter 50 golden tickets = two extra chapters I publish additional chapters on Sundays. By Sunday, I mean Sunday in my time zone (seven hours difference from the time of resetting the stones on the site).

After a fatal encounter with a truck in the middle of a careless performance, Dan, a slacker musician with little ambition, awakens in the vibrant, fantastical world of Castoria. Reborn as Krucose, a gnome bard with a lute and a voice filled with untapped magic, he’s given a second chance at life but the path ahead is anything but straightforward. In a realm teeming with mythical creatures, legendary warriors, and ancient secrets, as he journeys through dazzling landscapes and encounters curious companions, he discovers that strength alone doesn’t define a hero. Trust, self discovery, and the bonds he forges shape him into something greater than he ever thought possible. Krucose must confront not just the dangers of Castoria but also the enigmatic truth about his own reincarnation. Is he destined to be the bard of peace, or is he merely a pawn in an ancient melody of chaos? With friendship as his anchor, will Krucose be able to master his newfound powers or will his journey lead to an ending as unpredictable as the songs he plays? Dive into a tale of bonds, growth, and the mysterious strings that connect them all. In Castoria, even the simplest tune can rewrite destiny. "I Reincarnated as a Bard" is a tale of friendship, growth, and a destiny wrapped in mystery. In Castoria, every note Krucose plays unravels a truth, but not all truths are meant to be known. "It's not about how powerful you are or how lazy you seem, it's about trusting yourself, embracing the bonds you form, and letting friendship guide you toward fulfilling your dreams." :Krucose

Liang Wei , a struggling college student burdened by debt and family obligations, stumbles upon a pawnshop that only opens at midnight. The shop, hidden away in a forgotten alley, is owned by a mysterious man known as Mr. Shen, The items in this shop aren't your ordinary goods—each one holds strange, magical powers or dark histories, and every trade comes with an unpredictable cost. Liang Wei, desperate for money, takes a job as Mr. Shen’s assistant, but quickly discovers that the Midnight Pawnshop deals in more than just items—it trades in people's fates. Each customer who enters the shop exchanges something intangible, like time, memories, or talents, and often leaves altered, for better or worse. While learning the ropes, Liang Wei begins to notice a pattern in the customers: many are linked by fate, their lives intertwined in ways that seem too coincidental. Soon, Liang Wei uncovers that Mr. Shen himself has a hidden agenda—he’s collecting these trades for an unknown, larger purpose that may have cosmic consequences.

The boy furrowed his brows in annoyance, his eyes still closed. He searched his surroundings and discovered a glass-like slab. With closed eyes, he slid his finger across it and placed it near his ear. "Hello..." he mumbled in his drowsy voice, which carried a hint of depth. "Hey, Pissed-up Prat, where are you?" a voice laced with disdain emanated from the slab. The boy, referred to as the "Pissed-up Prat" by the irritating female voice, recognized it as a voice he heard frequently but couldn't recall its owner. With his eyes still closed, he inquired, "Who is this?" "What do you mean, 'who is this'? Wake up, come home, or eat shit for breakfast if you prefer!" the voice behind the transparent slab retorted before falling silent. The boy, still not fully awakened, gazed at the half-opened glass slab with a mixture of confusion and surprise. As his eyes darted around the room, he became increasingly shocked. As he recollected the fragmented memories from the night before he lost consciousness, his gaze fell upon the entrance of the shop. Once old and damp, it now bore a different appearance. While not transformed into a luxurious space, it had undergone improvements compared to its previously dilapidated state. The shop took on a rectangular shape, with one longer side adorned with wooden shelves intricately patterned. Rows of empty glass jars lined these shelves. On the opposite side, there was another wooden shelf, also displaying empty jars. Towards the beginning of the counter, where the boy had been sleeping, there stood a peculiar machine. Confusion etched across his face, he murmured to himself, "Whose shop is this?" In response to his question, a mechanical voice resonated in his mind. [The Omnistore belongs to you, host.]

She's afraid of the dark, he embodies it. Most say her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loud, cries too much, and smokes like her life depends on it, and in some ways it does. Little do they know, it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. "As long as they were looking at my body, they'd never see what was behind my eyes." No one can see through Deyana Cabrera's facade—not until he comes along. Some know him as an emotionless player, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. He changed through his girlfriends like they were underwear. But that was only because all the ladies loved the way he strummed his guitar when he and his rock band, "Celestia", would perform their electrifying songs on stage. With a tendency to pick order and class as his companion, Alexei "Alex" Morozova has never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never... One autumn night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his arrogance and habit of never taking anything or anyone seriously—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Alexei’s plans had he ever prepared for Deyana. She’s chaos embodied—not at all his type—but that can never stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. Together they fight to defeat the world's most evil demons in human skin. In a battle against corruption, darkness, and the monsters lurking beneath the surface, Deyana and Alexei are forced to face the unthinkable. But while they fight side by side, Alexei has no idea that he’s become her greatest obsession—the one person who dominates her every thought, even as she hides it beneath a mask of indifference.
