"I’m not here to fit in—I’m here to stand out. When the lights are brightest and the pressure’s crushing, that’s when I shine." On the cracked courts of Pinehill, Jaden "Silk" Hunter was a king. His ankle-breaking crossovers, no-look passes, and thunderous dunks made him a streetball legend. But when a scholarship pulls him into the unforgiving world of Ironwood Academy, the country’s most prestigious basketball powerhouse, Jaden learns that talent isn’t enough. At Ironwood, the court is a battlefield, every teammate is a rival, and Coach Grayson Hale rules with an iron fist. The flashy, unpredictable style that made Jaden a legend on the streets is seen as reckless and immature here. His teammates doubt him, his coach benches him, and the media begins to whisper: Is "Silk" all show and no substance? But Jaden isn’t here to play by anyone else’s rules. With his pride on the line and the weight of his hometown’s expectations on his shoulders, he’s determined to prove that style and substance can coexist—that you can rewrite the game and still come out on top. When rival prodigies, team betrayals, and mounting pressure push him to the edge, Jaden must rise beyond raw talent and show everyone that greatness isn’t just about playing the game—it’s about playing the Game Above Game. Will Jaden rise to the top, or will the weight of greatness bring him crashing down?

There is nothing that can escape my will. As he read these words, Aldrian understood that this was part of his destiny. Abnormal cultivation? Rapid comprehension? Mastering everything?

What Does It Mean to Be a Slayer? Is it the power to cut through monsters or the will to cut through fear? Is it the weight of the crucifix or the burden of the choices it demands? Is the mark of a Slayer found in their strength, or in the lives they leave untouched? Is it to chase a dream, or to wake others from their nightmares? Do you fight to reach a dream, or do you fight because the dream is already lost? When blood stains your blade, does it cleanse the world or taint your soul? Omari does not fight to build a name, but to ensure others do not lose theirs. He lifts his blade not for ambition, but for those too weak to lift themselves. Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to ask what you stand to gain, but what you’re willing to lose. Perhaps it is not the pursuit of power, but the realization that power exists to serve others. Omari does not fear death; he fears a life where he fails to save. For him, the crucifix is not a weapon of ambition but a promise kept to those who cannot protect themselves. What does it mean to be a Slayer? Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to live for a dream, but to die without regret. Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to seek answers, but to shoulder the questions. For Omari, it is all of the above and so much more.

"Wer sind Sie?" Ich erwachte mit einem Ruck, verwirrt und mit Schmerzen am ganzen Körper. Ein schwerer männlicher Körper lag neben mir - wir waren beide nackt bis auf das Laken, das unsere Körper bedeckte. Ich durchsuchte meine Erinnerungen an die vergangene Nacht und versuchte herauszufinden, wie ich hierher gekommen war, während ich versuchte, das Laken um meinen Körper zu wickeln. Ich hielt inne, als mir klar wurde, dass ich meinen Bettpartner völlig nackt zurücklassen würde. Ich erinnerte mich daran, dass ich immer wieder gesagt hatte: "Ich bin dein Kumpel!" Ich löste mich vom Bett, um nach Kleidung zu suchen. Ich versuchte, so leise wie möglich zu sein, um den Fremden nicht zu wecken. Sein Geruch war überall auf mir, eigentlich überall auf allem. Reichhaltig und männlich, bei jedem Atemzug hatte ich das Gefühl, vom Wald umgeben zu sein, mit einem Hauch von Holz und einem warmen Gewürz, das ich nicht benennen konnte. Ich wollte zurück ins Bett zu ihm kriechen und ihn nie wieder verlassen. Mein Wolf, Rayne, brummte in meinem Kopf: "Wir sollten nicht gehen! Er ist unser Kumpel!"

"Siapa kamu?" Saya terbangun dengan terkejut, bingung dan sakit di seluruh tubuh. Tubuh laki-laki berat terbaring di samping saya---kami berdua telanjang kecuali seprai yang menutupi tubuh kami. Saya mencari ingatan malam sebelumnya, mencoba memahami bagaimana saya bisa berakhir di sini sambil mencoba membungkus seprai di sekitar tubuh saya. Saya berhenti ketika saya menyadari bahwa saya akan meninggalkan pasangan tidur saya telanjang total. Saya mengingat diri saya berkata berulang kali, "Aku pasanganmu!" Saya perlahan-lahan turun dari tempat tidur untuk mencari pakaian. Saya mencoba sebisanya agar tidak membangunkan orang asing itu. Aromanya menyelimuti saya, menyelimuti segala sesuatu sebenarnya. Kaya dan maskulin, setiap kali saya bernapas saya merasa seakan sedang dikelilingi oleh hutan dengan sentuhan kayu dan rempah hangat yang tidak bisa saya namai. Saya ingin merangkak kembali ke tempat tidur di sampingnya dan tidak pernah pergi. Serigala saya, Rayne, bergumam di kepala saya, "Kita tidak seharusnya pergi! Dia adalah pasangan kita!"

Falling in the deep sea, there is no light, though desperately longing for it.

Indeed, everyone ...... longs for light. But if there is no light... Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

After the chaotic conclusion of the previous novel, reality itself collapses. Protagonists Kai and Andreas awaken in a realm unlike any other: the Iterative Beyond. This boundless, ever-shifting plane of existence is defined by endless layers of creation, each more complex and alien than the last. At its core lies the Forge of Recursive Creation, a mechanism that perpetually spawns new layers of reality, ensuring that no single layer can ever encapsulate the entirety of existence. However, the Iterative Beyond is in danger. A mysterious and malevolent entity known as The Null Artisan has begun unraveling the layers, threatening to erase not just the Beyond but all realities that stem from it. In this ever-changing realm, Kai and Andreas discover they possess a strange new power: the Echo of Creation, a gift that allows them to reshape fragments of the Iterative Beyond. Yet, they soon realize the cost of their power—every act of creation births new paradoxes, new layers, and pushes them further from the elusive "truth" they seek. To stop The Null Artisan, they must navigate the Cascade of Paradoxical Layers, a series of surreal realms where the laws of existence shift unpredictably. Along the way, they encounter enigmatic entities like the Architect of Chaos, a being who claims to know the true purpose of the Forge, and the Keeper of the Vortex, a guardian of forgotten realities. The ultimate goal is to reach the Core of Originless Expanse, the alleged heart of all existence. But as they delve deeper, Kai and Andreas must confront a harrowing truth: the Forge itself may not be a mechanism of creation but a prison, trapping them and every reality in an endless cycle of narratives. Faced with impossible choices, they grapple with questions of identity, purpose, and sacrifice. Can they truly escape the Iterative Beyond, or will they become yet another story within its infinite layers?
