Rise of Redemption

"In exactly one year, everyone you love and will come to love will be destroyed forever. Will you be able to save them all, I wonder?" In a world where magic and fantasy is the norm, 17 year-old Daizen Shizaki is the only exception with a fractured 'Soul Realm', making it impossible for him to process and use his Affinity of Wind magic to his full output. He was rendered useless and unable to use magic by many in his village, and with his status shattered, he began to isolate himself from the outside world due to constant bullying and gossiping. However, things would soon change for him. When a terrifying turn of events befall his hometown, it is Daizen Shizaki's sole responsibility to prepare for the judgement day of slaughter, as he receives a haunting vision of the future. Will he be able to gather reinforcements and train hard in time for 'Armageddon', while attempting to defeat an evil cult that threatens his safety? "I want to become strong...so that I can protect both myself and the ones I care about without worry." With his resolve strengthened, a new life of adventure, danger, friendship, romance, hardships and bloodshed awaits....and it is up to him to redeem his past life of uselessness, and save the lives of many. Time is ticking, future hero. *** TRIGGER WARNING: Profanity, Blood, Some amounts of Gore. *** UPLOAD SCHEDULE: Twice a day. *** COVER ART UPDATES: New book cover art will be uploaded at the start of every new story arc.

Remastered Hearts

Five years after their bitter breakup and the bankruptcy of their shared publishing dream, literary agent Maya Chen and audio producer Marcus Taylor are forced to confront their past when a high-stakes book project brings them together. Maya needs the perfect producer for her client's memoir to secure her position as the youngest junior partner at Preston & Associates. Marcus's award-winning Soundcraft Studios could be exactly what she needs – if only she can keep their complicated history from interfering with business. But working together proves more challenging than either expected. As they guide author Elena Reyes through recording her family's story of food, culture, and resilience, Maya and Marcus find themselves facing echoes of their own narrative. Each recording session peels back layers of professional polish to reveal wounds that never properly healed. The intimate nature of audio production forces them into close quarters, where old chemistry crackles beneath new boundaries. When rival agent Peter Walsh threatens to poach their star author, Maya and Marcus must decide if they can trust each other enough to fight for more than just this project. A power outage during a crucial recording session leaves them literally in the dark, forcing conversations they've avoided for years. As they help Elena capture the authentic voice of her family's story, they begin to rediscover their own voices – and the possibility that some love stories deserve a second take. With their careers and hearts on the line, Maya and Marcus learn that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that break all the rules. Like a skilled audio engineer finding the perfect mix, they must balance past and present, pride and vulnerability, ambition and love to create something entirely new from the pieces of their broken dreams. "Remastered Hearts" is a story about second chances, creative passion, and the courage to risk everything for a love worth repeating – this time with better production value.

Tried to Kill Myself, Ended Up In the Last Place I Expected

Davina Dubois is a 27 year old virgin who has been working minimum wage jobs her entire life. Her current dead end job is a cashier at a drug store. Her life's trajectory is zero and she has long since given up on trying for anything better. All she can do now is drown her sorrows every time her heart starts to dream and remind her that she is a failure. She is a habitual procrastinator who lives a life of social isolation. When she's not at work, she's by herself. When she goes to mall, she's by herself. When she goes to a restaurant, she's eating for one. Her adult life has been filled with nothing but daydreaming, feeling bitter, struggling to control her anger, being selfish and living like she's an old lady in retirement. Her thoughts are her worst nightmare. They've brought her down to her knees and killed her spirit. She is always lacking sleep and always taking two steps back the moment she takes one step forward. Finally, the depression becomes too much for her. Filled with regret, fear and doubts she decides to take a leap for freedom....off a bridge. Rafael Hunt is a 30 year old global popstar.

He has donated to countless charities, opened up a hospital and even met the president. Unfortunately, his life away from the spotlight is filled with misery. Growing up, he was treated as nothing more than a tool by his parents. He was expected to always deliver the best vocals and the most sharp choreography or he would get beaten up by his father and placed on a strict diet by his mother. Rafe was also the child of a highly dysfunctional marriage. The only person who cared for him was his grandfather, who admired his grandson for being very disciplined and filial. So much so, that he decided to rewrite his will in Rafe's name only. Rafe's grandfather considers his son and daughter-in-law to be nothing more than leeches with no real value and an utter disgrace to the Hunt name. Naturally, he wants Rafe to carry the bloodline forward. Being treated as a windup toy expected to dance to satisfy his heartless parents greed took a huge toll on his mind. As a coping mechanism, he developed an addiction to cocaine. After secretly acquiring a large quantity from his secret dealer, Rafe snorts it all with the hopes of dying. Both Davina and Rafe have a near brush with death before ending up in the hospital expected to survive. Waking up, they cry and curse their circumstances before realizing that they're not where they're supposed to be. Davina looks at her herself and sees a skinny handsome man where her body should be. Rafael wakes up and sees a full some, curvaceous beauty staring at him from the mirror. Worlds apart, these two would never cross paths normally. Only a supernatural intervention could bring them together. But as they navigate their newly acquired identities, they realize that misery isn't the only thing that binds them together. Davina and Rafe are actually long lost siblings.

From Shadows To Spotlight

Archer "Archie" Brooks was a renowned actor and a style icon admired by millions. Every movie he starred in was a hit, and every project he touched yielded unimaginable profits. His career was soaring, and just as he was about to receive the coveted Best Actor of the Decade award, he was brutally murdered in a twisted, unthinkable act. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Archie awoke to find himself in the body of Archer Reid, a nameless, unnoticed stuntman working at the same production house. The name was the same. The face—unrecognizable.

As he struggles to make sense of his new life, he becomes entangled with C.A.L.I.X.

With the system's cryptic guidance, Archer slowly begins to rise through the ranks once again. However, every few days, he is plagued by terrifying dreams—too frightening to be true, yet too realistic to ignore. Are they merely nightmares, or do they hold a sinister foresight into the future? --------------------------------- C.A.L.I.X.: Archer, I got an audition for you. Are you interested? Archer: What is it? C.A.L.I.X.: Do you want to act in a community theater? The role of the villain is available. Archer: Me? Do you want me to act as the villain? C.A.L.I.X.: If you aren’t satisfied being a villain, there's another role. It’s the role of a homeless man. Archer: Villain. Villain. I chose the villain. I love playing the role of a villain. I was born to play this role.

The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system

[Sweet, satisfying, pampering, lots of face slapping.] Zhang Caishen's era had come to an end and he could never rise again, or so they said. But why did he seem to be getting richer and more powerful even if he was now crippled and abandoned by his betrothed? Why was he suddenly so unnaturally lucky? The answer was simple; his new wife!! Lin Alix was not lucky when it came to her family. She was the older, less loved and less talented one in comparison to her younger sister who stole everything from her. But fate intervened and she got lucky when it came to a husband, not only was he wealthy but he loved to spoil her. Suggested by her infinite luck gaming system, Alix married her sister's unwanted crippled husband to be and stepped on the path of a winner in life. She swept up music awards, gained international recognition and got her revenge on her cruel family while becoming Beijing's most envious wife. "Are you crazy, you willingly married a crippled man?" her friends asked. "Yes, but have you seen how much he pampers me?" she asked in turn. "She will cheat on him, he is a cripple and he can't perform his husbandly duties." others gossiped. Alix looked at the so called crippled man who climbed into her bed night after night and laughed. Sorry, he was more than capable. "Honey, I am here to perform my husbandly duties." he would always say coquettishly when he flipped her over.
