[Simulation shall commence.] On this fateful day, the world was stunned by the appearance of ancient animals that were supposed to have gone extinct for millions of years. Huge sinkholes appeared in every corner of the world, becoming a tunnel for the ancient animals to emerge to the surface. Humans have found an answer to one of the biggest mysteries in human history. Hollow Earth is real. Here, humans will wrest their lives to explore this new world that has existed for thousands, if not millions, of years underneath them. Before the start of his exploration, Clovis came across a place called ‘Another World Mall.’ Dwarven Sword, Magical Elven Clothes, or Giant Race Toy? Everything can be found in this ‘Another World Mall.’ As an aspiring Subterranean Explorer, how would he utilize this ‘Another World Mall’ to become the greatest explorer of all time and find the truth about the simulation?

In a future where Earth's surface is uninhabitable, humanity survives inside the Whaledome, a massive, whale-shaped ship that tunnels through the underground world. Life within the dome is governed by a harsh social system that demands perfection. Any deviation from the ideal means death or exile. Shea, the daughter of one of the High Engineers, carries a dangerous secret—she is half-blind. In a society that values flawless health and intellect, being “imperfect” is a death sentence. Each year, the Engineer Enrollment selects the brightest minds to join the High Engineers. For Shea, this is her only chance to secure a future and protect her family. But the Enrollment isn’t just a test of intelligence; it’s a test of health, and any imperfection will be immediately detected, threatening her life and her family’s standing in the Whaledome. As Shea trains for the Enrollment, she must hide her blindness and outsmart a brutal system built on purity and control. But as the trials progress, she uncovers the terrifying truth—the Enrollment is not about saving humanity; it’s about maintaining a fragile power structure. The High Engineers are more interested in control than survival. With everything on the line, Shea must decide whether to conform, becoming the perfect candidate to secure her place, or risk everything to expose the truth about the Whaledome’s corruption. As she faces the final tests, she wonders: can perfection truly save humanity, or will it destroy them all? And what lies beyond the Whaledome—does any hope for survival exist outside its walls?

Rebirth of the Forgotten Worker Aya Kurose was just another overworked, underpaid corporate drone, trapped in an endless cycle of soul-crushing labor. But when an unexpected case of workplace poisoning sends her to an early grave, she assumes she’ll finally get some well-earned rest—or at least reincarnate into a better life. Fate, however, has other plans. Aya wakes up… as an ant. Not a powerful monster, not a fantasy adventurer, not even a queen—just a lowly worker ant in an underground colony ruled by instinct and endless labor. Trapped in a world where back-breaking work is her only purpose, she must adapt to her new life of tunnel digging, food carrying, and military-grade workplace discipline. But Aya refuses to accept her fate. If she’s going to live as an insect, she’ll do it her way. Whether it’s exploiting her newfound abilities, manipulating the hive mind, or climbing the social ladder of ant society, she’s determined to survive—and maybe, just maybe, take control of her own destiny for once. Between ruthless ant politics, terrifying natural predators, and a work environment somehow worse than her old job, Aya’s second life is anything but peaceful. But if the universe thinks it can break her, it’s in for a rude awakening. Because no matter what, she refuses to be just another expendable worker.

But beneath the flickering lights and labyrinthine tunnels, something stirs. Secrets lurk in the shadows, old wounds refuse to heal, and a war is brewing between those who would protect the city and those who seek to control it. And Castin? He might be the key to it all.

For years, an abandoned train tunnel on the outskirts of the city has been a source of fear. Locals whisper about the strange echoes that come from within—phantom trains that rush through at exactly 3:15 AM despite no tracks remaining. Souta, a 19-year-old college student obsessed with urban legends, convinces his friends, Riku and Mayu, to investigate the tunnel, determined to prove whether the phenomenon is real or just a hoax. Despite countless warnings to stay away, they enter the tunnel at night, armed with flashlights and cameras. The deeper they venture, the more reality twists. The tunnel stretches endlessly, the air thickens, and the echoes grow louder. At 3:15 AM, the deafening roar of an invisible train approaches, and before they can escape— The tunnel vanishes. They wake up aboard a moving train with no windows, no way out, and passengers wearing blindfolds. One turns toward them and whispers: "You shouldn’t have entered. Now, you belong to the train." Now trapped, they must uncover the truth: What is this train? Where is it taking them? And why do the echoes of the past still haunt the tunnel?

He was surrounded by darkness and couldn't see a thing. He could not breathe; he could not feel his body nor anything around him. Silence and darkness was the only thing that filled his world He lacked a form or any defining features; just a consciousness floating around in an empty void. A void that seemed to slowly eat away at him. Despite the lack of body and a sense of touch, he could feel the impenetrable darkness around him. Then, just like a light that appears at the end of a long tunnel, a light appeared before him. A light that felt even more deep then the darkness around him. He couldn't see it, but he could sense its presence and with the light's presence, a voice rang out. "There you are," it said. Although he had no ears, he could hear and understand the voice. He could understand his words not his intentions.

Book 1 is now available for order! Volume 1: https://a.co/d/0ao1rdn0 The first volume has been taken down for the Amazon release. Published by Riverfolk Publishing. *********************************** My name is Tim or was that is until I died, there was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimension travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited at the opportunity, if not for my new siblings who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or my mother who seemed to have something with throwing me off cliffs, and let’s not forget my murderous father who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

In a world where past and present intertwine, Isla's reality fractures with the utterance of a forgotten name: Isolde. It's a name that unlocks a torrent of vivid, unsettling memories, binding her to an ancient conflict and a malevolent force named Thane. He claims her as his, plunging her into a desperate struggle against a darkness that threatens to consume not just her, but the very fabric of her world. With Kai, her steadfast protector, Isla seeks refuge, but sanctuary proves fleeting. They are hunted, their every move shadowed by unseen eyes, their refuge a fragile illusion against encroaching dread. The deeper they delve, the more they uncover: ancient prophecies, hidden sanctuaries, and the legacy of Elara, a powerful ancestor whose blood flows through Isla's veins. Betrayal strikes from within, shattering their trust and casting them into a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels, where ancient forges whisper tales of forgotten battles. Here, they learn to wield their inherited powers, forging weapons of light against the encroaching shadows. In a climactic confrontation, they face Thane in his obsidian throne room, a battleground where light clashes with overwhelming darkness. Despite their courage, Thane seizes the amulet, a conduit of ancient power, threatening to unleash its corrupted energy. Yet, Elara's spirit, defiant and unyielding, resists, offering a fragile glimmer of hope. Isla and Kai, battered but unbroken, stand against the encroaching darkness, their fates irrevocably intertwined with the echoes of a shattered queen. They must confront not only Thane, but the fractured fragments of their own pasts, the lingering whispers of betrayal, and the terrifying possibility that the light they carry may not be enough to extinguish the encroaching shadows. The final battle looms, where the very essence of memory and identity will be tested, and the fate of their world hangs precariously in the balance.
