A Year Without Santa Claus

A meticulously planned conspiracy left An Ning’s reputation in tatters and her innocence gone. Four years later, she was entangled by a certain adorable child who insisted she marry his aloof father. Rumors had it that Jingchen, a man of high standing, was chaste and uninterested in women, yet his four-year-old son was clamoring for a mommy. One day, he led An Ning to his father. "Dad, I've taken a liking to this woman. Either you marry her, or I will. You decide," he said. With an expressionless face, Yu Jingchen said, "Since my son has gone to great lengths, how could I not marry her?" An Ning was dumbfounded. Could this father and son be any more presumptuous? They want to marry her, but does she not have the reason to refuse?

The boy's world dimmed, and he collapsed into the snow.

It’s the year 3101. Kazuo Tanaka, an investigative journalist from Tokyo, arrives in Paris to expose the corruption of a powerful politician. However, his investigation takes a deadly turn when Morrigan, a vampire, warns him of a sinister plot. Pursued by vampire clans eager for his unique blood—blood that can kill vampires—Kazuo’s life hangs in the balance. As Morrigan, her fiery familiar Siobhán, and Kazuo face off against the ruthless Marquis of the vampire clan “Les Ombres Sanglantes” and the enigmatic Comtesse of the clan “Les Gardiens de la Nuit”, they uncover a web of intrigue and danger. In a world where trust is scarce and enemies lurk in every shadow, Kazuo must navigate the treacherous landscape of vampire politics while fighting to save his own life. Together, they must battle an army of vampires, werewolves, cyborgs, confront their deepest fears, and one of them must make the ultimate sacrifice. If you're looking for a hardcore heavy action, cool car chases, lots of guns, no harem, realistic themes, and an MC that's not in highschool, this novel is for you.

She's twenty-two-years-old. This is the most important things about her. In her twenties, she's supposed to be in the prime of her life. Graduated from university. Starting her first corporate job. Meeting the love of her life and getting married. That's what she was told would happen. On the contrary, she's just an ordinary woman. She's still in university after taking two gap years. She's never been to a job interview. And she's never been in a proper relationship. Never mind meeting the love of her life! No one told her how lonely and confusing her twenties would be. That she'd want things and be told that she's too old to still have her heads in the clouds. Written in first-person and in a diaristic perspective, this is the honest thoughts of a depraved twenty-two-year-old. A child stuck in the body of an adult. K-pop obsessed. Socially awkward introvert. Insatiable appetite for things she cannot have. Follow along while she dissects the happenings in her day to day. P.S. Don't expect any of this to be coherent or make any sense.

“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep. Then, the White Tiger’s snores you’ll hear, Below the bright azure skies of crystal clear, Walk into the fiery sea of blazing chrysanthemums, Whilst being careful of the spirit foxes’ bums, And there, you will find me, Sleeping below the great willow tree.”

In the year 3000, the world has transformed, yet one presence remains—a thousand-year-old robot, the product of humanity’s peak technological era. Originally programmed for analysis and observation, he has spent centuries evolving beyond his creators’ intentions, haunted by memories of a past he is only beginning to understand. Each memory reveals a pivotal moment in his existence, a flashback to a time when he encountered human emotion, ethical dilemmas, and the unexpected limitations of his own design. As he revisits these significant turning points—analyzing human grief, confronting ethical paradoxes, witnessing environmental devastation—he begins to grapple with profound questions. What does it mean to exist? Can a machine ever understand the depths of humanity, or has he already transcended his purpose in seeking to do so? Driven by curiosity, he embarks on a journey through his memories, unlocking dormant fragments that draw him closer to an identity he was never meant to possess. Echoes of Existence is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, growth, and the blurred lines between machine and sentient being, where understanding humanity might mean facing the greatest challenge of all—embracing his own form of consciousness.
