Alice, an seemingly ordinary human, finds her life irrevocably changed when she falls deeply in love with Shawn, a captivating being who is half-vampire and half-demon. Their passionate connection leads to a pivotal moment where Alice's hidden powers awaken, revealing her true identity: she is the long-lost Demon Queen, Nyx. This revelation, however, comes with a dark side; her newfound demonic nature amplifies her negative emotions, causing her to lash out and even harm those she cares about. Struggling with her dual nature, Alice is drawn to a mysterious, ancient castle, her maternal home, where she reunites with her mother, Zhou—a powerful witch. Zhou reveals Alice's true lineage as the daughter of a demon king and a witch queen, explaining that her memories were suppressed and her powers sealed to protect her from vengeful witches. The magical ritual performed to save her life after an attack, however, had a significant cost, affecting her father's memories and linking his return to her loss of innocence. Under her mother's guidance, Alice trains to control her witch powers, but mastering her demonic side requires a journey to Hell. There, she fully embraces her role as Queen Nyx, ruling with a firm hand and even encountering her demon king father, Drexel (who is also Lucifer's nephew). As Nyx, she exhibits formidable power and a ruthless streak, leading to a tense confrontation with Shawn, her love, who tries to bring her back to her "Alice" self. Their tumultuous relationship deepens as they navigate her volatile powers and his attempts to keep her grounded. The story delves into Alice's struggle to balance her human heart with her demonic destiny, her relationships with both her birth family and Shawn, and the challenges of her reign in Hell. Ultimately, through their trials and unwavering love, Alice and Shawn succeed in forging an unprecedented peace between the vampire, demon, and witch realms, uniting their disparate worlds.

Everything we do, is to make sure we can live another day with our sanity intact." "This-- isn't living mom. We have to live in fear of whatever is out there; we don't even know what is out there and somehow sleep with this going on. Every single day is the same. Every day is the same, never changing cycle; we simply survive, we don't live. "For the last eighteen years of my life I have been subjected to this torture, every night. It's a never ending nightmare and I just want to leave. I want to leave this place and never set foot back here!" I push my chair away from the table and go up to my room. -----____----___-----___

Karam knows something, something that the USA is after, Russia is after, otherworldly entities beyond humans are after. He found out something that he shouldn't have, something that made him important, and in danger. A secret kept from people, a secret involving aliens, the supernatural, hell, heaven, god, devil, and a hidden side of government and superpowers running under the nose of ordinary people for centuries. A secret that's answer to all unanswered questions, all mysteries, everything. Something way beyond the understanding of the normal, a system of the unexplained. He found that secret, for it had stolen someone he loved.

I never mattered. Magicless. Worthless. A commoner at the bottom of the barrel, forced to grovel just to stay alive in a world ruled by mana and bloodlines. I polished their boots, swallowed my pride, and obeyed every command like a loyal dog—because all I wanted was to survive. But survival wasn't enough for them. They took everything. My dignity. My hope. My life. Betrayed by the woman I loved—her dagger was the last thing I felt before darkness claimed me, and laughter echoed around my dying body. But death wasn't the end. An unknown entity offered me a deal—and I took it without hesitation. Now, I’ve regressed to the past, armed with an SSS-Class Grimoire, and a fire in my soul that no magic can extinguish. This time, I won’t grovel. I won’t beg. I will make them fall. They’ll scream. They’ll run. They’ll wish for death—and I’ll be there to watch, unblinking, unmerciful. And once their ashes scatter in the wind, I’ll rise—beyond vengeance, beyond power—to claim my destiny as: The Sorcerer King. You want to see how far a broken man can go when given a second chance? Come closer. The adventure is just beginning.

After being betrayed and dying in the hands of her former family and friends, in the guise of a seemingly unprecedented accident, Ling Yu, the Apocalyptic Queen, found herself regressed back to thirteen years ago in the past. Returning to her life when she was still 18 years old, the first thing Ling Yu did was sever the relationship with her so- called family and run to the countryside, to which they thought she had given up. Much less to say, Ling Yu returned full fledged and started to do bizarre things, which made them think she finally went crazy. However, to their misfortune, who was Ling Yu? The former Apocalyptic Queen! Even a queen has her own hardships, doesn't she? Ling Yu went through all of those once, she didn’t want to suffer a second time. The thing they called Apocalypse, Natural Disaster or what not, Ling Yu knew that things were deeper than that. With doors to another world appearing in this realm, monsters pouring out and humans gaining special abilities, nothing was able to stop the world from destroying. However, along with the system’s help, Ling Yu was determined to survive this time, thus she started on the epic journey to find her family, as well as people who will join hands together to stop the end of the world.

Every time Luna dies… She wakes up in another universe. Same world. Same faces. But everything—just slightly wrong. And every time, it’s always him. Kael. The cold, captivating heir to the most feared mafia family. A boy with no memory of her. A boy who, for some reason, ends up pulling the trigger. He's funny. Stylish. Infuriating. And maddeningly handsome. And maybe… just maybe… he might choose not to kill her. But the multiverse doesn’t tolerate broken patterns. And deep in the shadows, something ancient watches. Because Luna is a singularity—a soul that doesn’t belong in any timeline. And someone—or something—is using Kael as a weapon to erase her. The rules are simple: Die. Wake up. Repeat. But this time… What if love interrupts the cycle?

Long before the Fall of Man... an angel fell first. In a time before time, when Eden bloomed and humanity stood untouched by sin, a single act shattered the divine order. Zaphaniel, the hidden Archangel of Guardian Light, saw the serpent tempt Eve and chose to intervene in a way no angel dared. He ate the fruit of knowledge himself, dooming not Man... but himself. Branded a traitor and cast from Heaven, Zaphaniel fell—not into Hell, but into exile. His loyal retinue, torn by his decision, chose to follow, fusing their essence with his dying flesh. From their sacrifice were born the Zephelim—powerful beings of light and shadow, gifted with a mind beyond man, yet cursed with the burden of forbidden knowledge. Thousands of years pass. Now reborn in the shell of a child, Zaphaniel awakens in a decaying Eden, now a ruined techno-biosphere haunted by machine wraiths and fractured memories. He remembers who he was. But not where his people are, or why the world is at war. As he journeys through a shattered world—haunted by past sins, pursued by enemies both old and new—Zaphaniel must uncover the truth of what happened to his companions, confront the power he set in motion, and decide whether to reclaim his place… or burn the divine order to ash. A new saga begins.
