Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real.

Or will the shadows of Easter’s past—and the forces that govern Jacob’s existence—tear them apart before they even have a chance?

Update Schedule: One new chapter released daily! Genres: Action-packed adventure, dark fantasy world, shocking reversals, multi-world setting, epic fantasy quest, journey of self-discovery. On Patreon (search for "Zane Lee" - the avatar is a black cat writing), you can read new chapters two weeks in advance. In a world shaped by trials and ancient mysteries, a young man named Leo awakens in a remote village with no memory of his past-only a deep scar on his collarbone, shaped like a five-pointed star. As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried. When Leo encounters a masked thief named Dan, fragments of truth begin to surface-revealing that Leo might not just be seeking the Silver Pentagram, but reclaiming a history that was stolen from him. With powerful artifacts, sentient machines, and a looming war between light and darkness, The Ten Gates is a thrilling tale of lost identity, the battle between fate and free will, and the acceptance of both humanity's brilliance and its deepest flaws. As Leo and Luna venture toward the stormy shores of the Shattered Wind Sea, they must face not only their enemies but also the echoes of a forgotten past that could change the world forever. Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?

The chemistry between them is instantaneous. And not the slow-burn kind—no, it’s the crackling, high-voltage kind that leaves Zane more than a little… intrigued. Nyx, despite her best attempts to maintain her distance, is definitely intrigued by the brooding vampire bartender with the entirely too smooth charm and disarming sense of humor. The only problem? Nyx doesn’t believe in love (been there, done that, got the emotional scars), and Zane? He had loved her once—centuries ago, when he was still mortal. She had been his anchor, his heart, his reason for resisting the darkness that had already begun to consume him. But she had died, tragically, ripped away from him by time and fate. And now, she was back.

"How are you this clueless? You binge-watch soap operas all the time—haven’t you learned anything?" I gave her a blank look, unsure of what she was getting at. She leaned in and whispered, "Kai likes you." My eyes widened. "What? No, he doesn’t!" "How do you not see it? Everyone in class knows!" I shook my head, my thoughts racing. "I thought he was just excited to see me—just like he is with you, Zane, and Alek. With everyone." Marina smirked. "Trust me, he is never that excited to see me." ***** On one familiar street, five childhood friends—Alek, Kai, Marina, Zara, and Zane—once shared secrets, laughter, and a mutual disdain for one particular teacher. Now, in their 30s, they return to those memories with quiet introspection. Each carried a secret dream: Alek’s ambition to build a business empire, Marina’s desire for a simple life at home, Zara’s passion for art, Zane’s love for music and then there's Kai, whose soul never tethered to a single dream. In their heartfelt recollections, they explore whether those youthful aspirations have blossomed into true happiness.

Now, an injury sends Logan back to the small town he abandoned, and to the mate he left behind. But Noah is no longer the soft omega Logan remembers. He’s the head coach of Logan’s new team, the father of a son he never knew he had, and the cold fire in his eyes makes it clear: forgiveness is off the table. Noah has no interest in reopening old wounds. But Logan isn’t the same selfish alpha who left, and he’s determined to win back the family he didn’t know he had. Can two broken hearts find their way back to each other, or will Logan strike out for good?

Stolen Glances & Hidden Feelings is a high school BL romance filled with slow-burn tension, angst, and heartwarming moments. Elliot Carter has spent most of his high school life keeping his head down, blending into the background. With his beanie hiding his long hair and blue contacts masking his unique heterochromic eyes, he prefers to remain unseen—especially by Kieran Hayes, the popular, charming guy who never seems to leave him alone. Kieran has been tormenting Elliot for years, pushing him to the edge with his teasing smirks and relentless remarks. But when an unexpected moment forces Kieran to see Elliot in a different light, everything begins to change. The teasing turns into lingering glances, the insults start feeling like something else entirely, and Kieran finds himself drawn to the boy he once ignored. Elliot, guarded and hesitant, doesn’t know whether to trust this sudden shift—or the fluttering in his chest whenever Kieran is near. As secrets unravel, friendships are tested, and emotions run wild, both boys must confront the truth hidden in stolen glances and unspoken words. Will they find the courage to face their feelings, or will fear and pride keep them apart?

"What's the use of all of this if you're going to cheat with me?" Malakas na sigaw ko sa asawa ko. "Because I'm already tired! I can't deal with this anymore! You can't give me a child. I wanted to have a family!" Sumbat din niya sa akin kaya nanggagalaiti ang mga kamay ko. "Pinagsasabi mo? Nanagako ka sa akin na ayos na tayong dalawa sa huli, hindi ba? Hindi ba? Ano ngayon?" "Iba na noon at iba na rin ngayon. Lahat ng bagay nagbabago. Pati desisyon ng tao. I'm sorry, Rich. But i can't be with you anymore. I love her, I love Tyla. She can give me a child, unlike you!" "So gan'on? Eh di sana hindi mo na lang ako pinakasalan! Sana hindi ka na lang nangako!" "I'm sorry, Rich. But let's get divorce." Pagkatapos niyang sabihin ang mga katagang iyon, tumalikod na siya nang hindi man lang ako binibigyan ng kahit isang sulyap man lang. "R...Red... Do-don't... Don't leave me, Red! Please don't leave me!" Mabilis kong habol sa kaniya. Hinawakan ko pa ang laylayan ng kaniyang damit para pigilan lang siya na makaalis sa bahay. "Ano ba, Rich? Hindi na kita mahal, hindi na ikaw ang nasa puso ko. Kaya tumigil ka na. Huwag mo ng saktan ang bawat isa sa atin." Naiinis na singhal niya. Pilit niya rin akong itinatakwil sa kaniya. Kaso patuloy kong hinihigpitan ang pagkakahawak sa laylayan ng damit niya habang ang aking mga luha ay patuloy na nagsisibagsakan. "Please, Red. Don't leave me. I can't. Ikaw lang ang nag-iisa sa buhay ko. Ayaw kong iwan mo ako. Please, Red. Don't..." "I said stop this nonsense, Rich. Let's divorce and love yourself. Huwag mo na akong hintayin. Huwag mo na akong pigilan dahil pagod na ako, Rich. Gusto kong magkapamilya!" Galit na sigaw niya hanggang sa maramdaman ko na lang ang pagtulak niya sa akin nang malakas palayo kaya napatumba ako sa sahig. Napatama pa ang aking siko sa lamesa pero wala man lang sa kaniya. Nagdiretso siya na umalis, walang baling-baling sa likuran. Nang makaalis na siya, lahat ng emosyon ko ay inilabas ko. Buong gabi akong umiiyak. Sinisisi ang sarili na lalaki ako. Hanggang sa magdesisyon ako na wakasan ang buhay ko. "No one ever loves me. How can I love myself?" Mahinang tanong ko sa aking sarili at blangkong nakatingin sa ibaba ng palapag ng building. "It's now over, if I k-lled myself." Matapos kong sabihin iyon, wala rin akong pagdadalawang-isip na tumalon sa mataas na building na ito. Pumikit at dinadamdam ang hangin na humahampas sa aking buong katawan habang patuloy ang pagbagsak sa ibaba. Ngumiti ako nang mapait sabay labas na naman ng luha sa aking mga mata. 'I'm sorry.' *** [Notice! Character Alrich Zane Falco has been awakened. The True Beauty has been produced. The Plot's Processing ...

“Zane, can you hear me?” They said that time heals all wounds. But what if the wound never closes? What if it only deepens? Zane and I were never supposed to happen. I didn’t need saving, and he didn’t need anyone. But somehow, we collided. Maybe it was the silence between us that spoke louder than anything else. Maybe it was the way he’d stare at the world like it didn’t matter, and I’d pretend not to notice, pretending my heart wasn’t breaking every time. It was supposed to be temporary. A fleeting connection. I was never one to give in so easily, especially not to someone like him. But when he was around, the air shifted. The silence no longer felt like something to endure—it felt like something I could almost understand. I never told him I loved him. Not out loud. I kept it buried, hidden behind carefully constructed walls, just as I always had. I didn’t need to say it. He would’ve never understood it anyway. But he was my escape. And I was his. And then, like everything else, he was gone. “Zane, please. Just stay. Please.” But I never said that. I never begged, never showed how badly I needed him to stay. Because I didn’t know how to. Because I thought if I said the words, everything would break. I never let anyone see what was inside, not even him. The day I lost him, something inside me shattered. I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry, not in front of anyone. I stayed silent, like I always had. Because no one could know how much he had meant to me. No one could know that the weight of losing him was too much to carry. He didn’t die because of me. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself. But I can’t shake the feeling that I failed him. I should’ve said something, done something—anything—to stop it. But the truth is, I was never enough to stop him from walking away. “Zane… can you hear me?” I whisper it to myself, late at night, when the world is still, and the pain is loudest. But even then, I don’t let anyone see it. I don’t let anyone know the depth of the void he left behind. No one sees the tears I hide or the pieces of myself I’ve lost along the way. I keep telling myself it’s okay. That I’ll move on, that this is just a phase, that life will keep going. But it doesn’t. Life keeps slipping through my fingers, and nothing feels real anymore. He was my reality, my only truth, and now that he’s gone, I’m left questioning everything I thought I knew. I go on with my days, keeping my head high, pretending that I’m fine. But every step I take feels like I’m walking further away from everything that mattered. And in the quiet moments, when I’m alone with my thoughts, I ask again—“Zane, can you hear me?” But I already know the answer. The world is silent. And so am I.

ON INDEFINITE HIATUS Zane Jihan was an ordinary gamer, who like many others, joined the new and upcoming virtual reality game 'Synchronize'. A game that used such advanced technology was just as deep and full of adventure as real life, providing a second life to anyone who wished to play it. Or so they said. The game's popularity continually skyrocketed, and due to many requests Synchronize linked with the online market. This meant that cash, items, and gold could all be exchanged at a fixed rate online. Synchronize quickly took the hearts of the entire world, even those that hated games found themselves wanting to try it. Jihan was one of the ones who wanted to live a better life, free from the bullying at school due to the fact that he was an orphan. And so he joined Synchronize, and for ten years he played the game. However, his skill was only slightly above average, and he could not make it into the top 1000 players even as a launch player. And so after ten years, he was several thousand dollars in debt, and he was found dead under a bridge. Yet as he opened his eyes, an unmistakable popup window flashed into view.

Damien Cross is a man of power—cold, ruthless, and dangerously untouchable. He built an empire on control, keeping his emotions locked away. But revenge is a hunger he has never been able to satisfy. His nephew betrayed him in the worst way, and Damien has spent years waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. That opportunity comes in the form of Chloe Bennett—a woman who shouldn’t matter, yet does. Smart, ambitious, and unshaken by men like him, she’s determined to prove herself in a world that constantly underestimates her. When she walks into Damien’s world as the representative for her father’s company, she sees a business deal. He sees leverage.

She challenges him in ways no one else dares, and soon, vengeance isn’t the only thing he craves. But when Chloe uncovers the truth—that she was never meant to be more than a pawn in Damien’s war—she’s left with a choice: walk away before he destroys her, or risk falling for the man who was never supposed to feel anything at all.
