Jiho’s dream was simple — to become a K-pop idol and finally be seen for who he really was. But years of relentless bullying shattered that hope, leading him to a failed suicide attempt and a lonely life working a dead-end convenience store job. Scarred and exhausted, he barely survived day to day. Then one night, everything changed. Jiho wakes up in the body of Yunjae — a handsome, talented teen with loving but demanding parents who push him hard academically, draining his spirit. Yunjae’s past hides deep struggles: mental health battles, exhaustion, and a near-fatal overdose. Despite having no real experience with singing or dancing, Jiho seizes this unexpected second chance. He auditions at a mid-size K-pop company and against all odds, he passes. Now begins the grueling journey of idol training. With each challenge, Jiho fights to heal old wounds and build new strength. As he learns to trust himself and chase his dream again, he discovers that sometimes, the hardest battles lead to the brightest stages. Can Jiho overcome his past and the pressure of his new life to finally shine as the idol he was always meant to be?

A mysterious VR game company has unleashed a revolutionary MMORPG: Ascension of Souls, a game so advanced it threatens to blur the line between reality and fiction. Marketed as a groundbreaking innovation, it promised to change the world. But for Leo, it is far more than just a game. It is the only thing standing between him and death. Thrown into an expansive, ever-shifting world, Leo fights alongside a growing circle of powerful allies. Each carries their own ambitions, rivalries, and hidden pasts. Together, they form bonds forged through battle, hardship, and the fragile moments of peace between. Like them, Leo can level up, grow stronger, and carve his path through a world where strength decides everything. But unlike anyone else, he possesses a pair of mysterious bracelets, a power tied to him alone, unlocking fragmented memories of a past he does not remember. As whispers of forgotten legends surface and unseen forces manipulate the game from behind the curtain, Leo begins to understand that survival is not just about getting stronger.

He remembers every lifetime. While she forgets them all. This time, he will not let her go, even if it that would mean becoming the villain in her every lifetime. Auren has outlived every generation. In every one, he finds her. In every one, she forgets him. And in every single one, she dies, too soon, too cruelly, too unaware of who she truly is. To her, Auren is no more than a stranger. To him, she is everything that ever truly mattered. This time, he won't wait for fate to take her. This time, he will build a place where she cannot leave him, not by choice, not by death, not even by the gods themselves. And if it means burning down entire empires, breaking time itself, or staining his hands in blood... Then so be it. Let the world call him a monster. Let her call him nothing at all. He remembers enough love for both of them. And he'll make sure she never forgets him again.

I thought going back to school would help me forget. But the nightmares came back worse than ever—and when I found that book, everything changed. The moment I opened it, I was dragged into a distorted version of my school—twisted halls, whispering shadows, and a creature that should’ve killed me. Jayden and Nkosi saved me, but the veil between worlds is breaking, and something out there is calling me by a name I don’t remember: Taleah. Then came Marcus—a monster in human skin—who forced me to choose between my life or my friends. I survived. Barely. But now the creature is back. Smarter. Stronger. Hunting not for revenge, but to evolve. Someone saved me again. Someone familiar. But I can feel it—this is only the beginning. Who I was doesn’t matter anymore. What’s coming…

"Redeption" from the mysterious Eastern clan? Me—Brown Ryan—only came for the 144-hour visa-free perk! By some weird twist of fate, I straight-up fell into the Steam Age 260 years ago?! Even crazier: First hypnosis, I convulsed like crazy! Woke up with... an angel’s boundless love?! Second hypnosis, my hair stood on end instantly! How’d a werewolf’s blood get inside me? Third hypnosis, total disaster! This time, it actually lured a vampire’s soul—and it moved in, making my body its home! Eastern belle, I only came to hit on you! Not to be chased around as your practice dummy! Is this hypnosis of yours even reliable?!! You said it was "redeption"—so why’d you turn me into an angel+werewolf+vampire... a patched-up mess?! Now all I hear is steam engines clanking, and supernatural pursuers keep coming. But can someone cut me some slack?!! I came for a vacation, not to be a moving target getting wiped out!

Rein was just another part-timer drowning in routine—until he logged into Dark Fantasy Soul with a single, reckless choice: to play as a healer, the most overlooked and thankless class in the game.

Death is not an escape. And the only path forward lies through the merciless Trial of Grace—a gauntlet designed not to test strength, but willpower.

--- Ezra Locke was a systems architect in a world powered by logic, crystal tech, and a runic code that governed machines—not magic. His work on dimensional transport made him one of the most powerful minds of his time—and a target. Assassinated in a sabotage plot, Ezra's body was destroyed. But not his mind. He awakens in Aerthalen, a world where magic exists—real, ancient, and deeply feared. Here, runes aren’t tools of science, but the foundation of an arcane language capable of shaping reality itself. What the people of this world call “glyphs” and “wards,” Ezra sees as a distorted mirror of the systems he once mastered. Taken in by Wrenmoor Academy, a school for gifted glyphcasters, Ezra tries to blend in—but his memories of another life, and another language, never fade. Worse still, the magical runes of Aerthalen react to him in ways no one can explain. Doors open. Wards twist. Hollows—creatures of broken magic—are drawn to him like a beacon. As ancient secrets resurface and power begins to shift, Ezra realizes he wasn’t brought to Aerthalen by accident. Someone—or something—rewrote the laws of death to bring him here. Now he must master a magic he was never meant to wield, uncover who orchestrated his assassination, and survive the Fifth Bell—an ominous rite whose toll marks the thinning barrier between worlds. Because this world is breaking too. And Ezra might be the only one who can rewrite it.

Synopsis In a world that moves too fast for hearts to speak, two souls—unknown to each other, yet somehow already familiar—cross paths in a moment that feels less like chance and more like the whisper of destiny. He is a quiet storm, a man of still waters and unfinished sentences, carrying the weight of memories that no longer belong to him. She is a flicker of light, a woman stitched together by poems and pauses, searching for something she cannot name. Neither is looking for the other, and yet, life folds time and space just enough to make them collide. Drawn together by the hush between heartbeats and the language of shared silence, their connection feels ancient—something that once was, and somehow, is again. In a world of missed trains and lost glances, their eyes find each other like constellations aligning across a night sky they've always belonged to. But was it fate that led them here… or the slow, sacred pull of souls remembering what the world has forgotten? This is not a story about falling in love. This is a story about being found—in the echoes of past lives, in the poetry of presence, in the deep, unspoken knowing that some strangers are not strangers at all. Blurb “What happens when healing comes from silence, and love arrives when you’ve already given up on being seen?” Leila Zaman never expected freedom to feel so heavy—until Milan gave her space to breathe, and a stranger began to notice the parts of her even she had forgotten. A poetic, emotional journey through family scars, quiet strength, and a slow-burn love worth staying for. #FamilyDrama #SlowBurnRomance #SouthAsianVoices
