But everything changes when the entire planet is infected with a mysterious virus that opens the gate to a world where dreams become reality, and other people's dreams become deadly trials. - - - One day, Kang Jun falls asleep during a fight with bandits and when he opens his eyes, he appears in the body of a certain boy living in hell. The kingdom's watchdogs have sent hundreds of people to their place of death, and Kang Jun is with them. He has only one way out - to kill to survive! - - - In Dream World, Kang Joon faces brutal monsters, dangerous puzzles, and moral dilemmas that will help him become stronger. --- This is my first serious novel.

Möchten Sie es verwenden?] [JA][NEIN] Kyle war ein Mann, der im Leben nie Glück hatte, und er stand kurz davor, allem ein Ende zu setzen, nachdem er aufgrund der Beschwerde eines Kunden von seinem Mindestlohnjob entlassen wurde. Die Beschwerde stellte sich als Lüge heraus, aber da der Kunde eine attraktive Dame war, glaubte niemand Kyle. Um die Sache noch schlimmer zu machen, musste er für die Schäden aufkommen, die der Kunde verursacht hatte. Schöne Menschen, sie hatten es leicht, nicht wahr? Dies war sein letzter Schritt und er wusste, dass er den morgigen Tag nicht mehr erleben würde, als er nach einem Fluss suchte, in den er sich stürzen konnte. Er dachte, sein Verstand wäre endlich gebrochen, da es keine Erklärung für den Cyanfarbenen Bildschirm gab, der auftauchte, als er auf die Schaltfläche [JA] klickte. [Sie haben Charme gezogen!] [Charme: Es gibt nichts, aus dem oder in das der Benutzer sich nicht herauscharmen kann! Das Universum hat dich mit Charisma gesegnet!] "Hahaha! Ich muss verrückt geworden sein..." murmelte Kyle vor sich hin, aber sein Handy klingelte bald, um zu zeigen, dass er eine Benachrichtigung hatte.

Para empeorar las cosas, tuvo que pagar por los daños causados por el cliente. Las personas hermosas, lo tenían fácil, ¿no? Este era su último paso y sabía que no vería el mañana mientras buscaba un río para lanzarse. Pensó que su mente finalmente se había roto ya que no había explicación para la Pantalla Cyan que apareció cuando hizo clic en el botón [SÍ].

Pour empirer les choses, il a dû payer les dommages causés par le client. Les belles personnes, elles avaient la vie facile, n'est-ce pas ? C'était sa dernière étape et il savait qu'il ne verrait pas demain alors qu'il cherchait une rivière pour s'y jeter. Il pensait que son esprit avait finalement craqué car il n'y avait aucune explication pour l'écran Cyan qui a surgi alors qu'il cliquait sur le bouton [OUI]. [Vous avez tiré Charme !] [Charme : Il n'y a rien que l'utilisateur ne puisse charmer pour entrer ou sortir ! L'univers vous a béni avec du charisme !] "Hahaha !

Reincarnated into a fantasy world, Ren just wants to live a quiet life as a farmer. Too bad his "basic" farming skills involve accidentally reshaping landscapes, obliterating cosmic threats with a well-aimed turnip, and generally defying reality. As his unassuming, innocent demeanor masks terrifyingly absolute power, he unwittingly gathers a harem of awestruck (and dangerously powerful) women, all while wondering why everyone makes such a fuss over his prize-winning, god-tier tomatoes.

To make matters worse, he had to pay for the damages that was caused by the customer. Beautiful people, they had it easy, didn't they? This was his last step and he knew that he wouldn't see tomorrow as he searched for a river to throw himself in. He thought his mind finally broke as there was no explanation for the Cyan Screen that popped up as he clicked the [YES] button.

Kyle muttered to himself but his phone soon rang out to show that he had a notification. And to his surprise, he saw $10,000 sitting in his account and his jaw dropped. "THIS IS FOR REAL!!!"

Or tear it off?

Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find. Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected. Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction. But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son. As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for. She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams. When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

Josuke Hachimizu, a 22-year-old young man, thought his personal hell had ended when he left the military. After six years trying to forget the war, all he wanted was a normal life… but fate had other plans. Without warning, he is torn from his world and thrown into an unknown land by the will of the enigmatic God of Souls. There, he awakens with a broken system: the Blood System, a flawed power that prevents him from leveling up like a normal adventurer. Abandoned and cast into the Seventh Underworld—a place even demons fear to tread—Josuke is left to die. For ten years, he survives fueled by pure rage and hunger, consuming the blood of all kinds of infernal creatures, slowly evolving into something far beyond human. But when he finally escapes, he does not return to the world he once knew. Instead, he's thrown into a realm of heroes, guilds, divided kingdoms, ancient prophecies, abyssal continents, and countless dimensional dungeons… where nearly everyone sees him as a threat. And worst of all, the God of Souls still watches him, with twisted, hidden intentions. With no allies, no clear path, and a system that forces him to drink the blood of his enemies to grow and keep his humanity, Josuke Hachimizu must fight not just to survive… but to shatter the will of those who treat his life like a pawn in the cosmic game. What would you do… if your only way forward was to unleash the monster within?

In a world where strength is law and betrayal blooms like blood-soaked flowers, the once-revered warrior Sofi finds herself imprisoned in a fortress of agony—chained, broken, and haunted by the ghost of her greatest mistake: trusting her own disciple. Nikolash, once her brightest student, now walks the path of cruelty and ambition. Clad in shadows and poisoned ideals, he offers her salvation—but only in chains. His twisted vision of power seeks to remake the world, and Sofi is the final piece in his dark design. What follows is not a battle of strength, but of survival, soul, and vengeance. As Sofi endures unthinkable torment at the hands of those she once protected, her spirit is shattered—but not extinguished. In her final moments, a promise is born in blood and rage: “If I rise again… I’ll never trust, never hesitate. I will become the storm that breaks this world.” A tale of betrayal, corruption, and the rebirth of a fallen protector, Ashes of Sofi is a grim, emotional saga set in a world where light is fragile—and vengeance burns brighter than hope.

By day, Li Mei is a quiet 19-year-old university student, the best friend of Zhao Ling — sister to one of the most powerful and ruthless CEOs in the city. By night, she becomes The Shadow Rider — a masked, black-clad savior who secretly rescues innocent lives from the darkness that plagues the streets of Chenghai. She thought her double life was safe. She thought no one would notice her. Until Zhao Wei, 27, CEO of Zhao Corp, saw her. He was supposed to see her as just his sister's young friend. Too young. Too off-limits. But from the moment he laid eyes on her, his world shifted. He became obsessed with her. Every detail about her, he learned through his sister. Every look, every whisper, every glance from afar… he craved more. What he doesn’t know is that the girl he secretly wants is also the masked hero that saves the humans at night. And what Li Mei doesn’t know is that Zhao Wei has already decided. She’s his. Whether she wants it or not.

"She was supposed to be silent. She chose chaos instead." At thirteen, Lorraine vowed to a boy, “I’ll be your poison. I’ll be your blade in the shadows. I’ll live for you.” The catch? She was supposed to be mute and deaf. The bigger catch? He was a hostage prince with no power. Raised in a household where her father adored her perfect half-sister Elyse, Lorraine was thrown into a political marriage with Prince Leroy. Unfortunately, he liked Elyse too. Of course he did. Lorraine played the role of the forgotten wife, but still gave it all. Loyalty, time, and space. The Silent Crown, they called her. Fitting, really. No one expected anything from her. Especially not betrayal. He came back from the war with a mistress, who was a living shadow of his first love. That was Lorraine’s breaking point. Divorce? Not allowed. Staying? Not an option. So, she gave herself one month. One month before she vanished from Vaeloria, from the life that had chewed her up and smiled while doing it. But before she left? She wanted revenge. On the father who put her through hell. On the sister who took her place. On everyone who hurt her and laughed at her. And continuing with… an affair… with Leroy. Yes, you read that right. Lorraine started a secret affair with her own husband. In the shadows. As someone else. Masked. Daring. Desired. And for the first time in her life, she was powerful. He doesn’t know it’s her. And she doesn’t care to correct him. She’ll ruin him with pleasure. Then leave him with regret. That was the plan. The kingdom has no idea what’s coming. The Silent Crown has stopped waiting to be loved. Now, she wants war. And she’ll watch it all burn from the shadows.

There were three rules to working for CEO Karsten Chevalier. First, bring his coffee brimming hot and black like a starless night. Second, park your attitude outside his office door—his broody demeanour has the room covered. Third, never say ‘No’ to whatever he demands. Not even when he asks you to become his fake girlfriend? (Synopsis) Arata's fiance dumped her through a text on the day of their engagement party. The reason? She is too curvy for his taste! He only entertained her because of her prestigious family name. "Do you think men want a fatso like you? You're nothing without your family's name!" A heartbroken Arata sets out on a journey to discover herself without revealing she is the daughter of a billionaire. She moves to another city, away from her beloved family. ‘How dare he insult me? I love my curves and I will show him.’ Arata is not a damsel; her parents have raised her strong, and now it is time to become independent. Her heart is ablaze with newfound goals. One: to see how people will treat her if she acts like an ordinary girl and hides her identity. Two: to bag a bigger fish than her stinking—joke of an ex-fiancé. She will prove that a man will genuinely love her irrespective of her curves and surname! Arata's new life begins as the secretary of Karsten Chevalier, the CEO of a multinational clothing brand who is renowned for his dashing personality and enigmatic persona. Not much is publicly known about this man. Doused in mystery, the man has his own goals and hidden agenda which will topple Arata's world. Unfortunately, Karsten's handsome face becomes a punching bag in Arata's mind because of his ruthlessly demanding personality and ego larger than Mount Everest. Arata eases her frustrations by going to meet Twisted Rider, the currently popular yet mysterious, masked internet sensation. Both tangle under the sheets and he becomes her safe space as she complains and opens up about her boss. "Will you act as my girlfriend?” Karsten's proposal to become a fake girlfriend for his family events surprised Arata! How will Arata juggle the piling demands of her boss, her own heartbreak and the seduction traps of the masked man she loves to watch in her spare time? Will sparks fly between Arata and her colder-than-Arctic ice boss? Or, will she continue to complain to the masked man that her boss probably has a small PP?
