The Red Lotus Deaths

Synopsis: In a world where parasitic lifeforms infiltrate human society, a young woman named Seo Ji-Hyun becomes an unwilling host to a mysterious red-eyed parasite. Unlike the other parasites, which seek to take over their host's body and mind, "Red" forms an unusual symbiotic relationship with Ji-Hyun, preserving her consciousness while enhancing her physical abilities. As the government and secret organizations hunt down infected individuals, Ji-Hyun is caught between her survival instincts and the moral dilemmas of harboring a parasite. But Red isn’t just any parasite—its origins trace back to a long-forgotten experiment, and its connection to Ji-Hyun runs deeper than she realizes. As brutal killings increase and more hosts lose their humanity, Ji-Hyun and Red must navigate a treacherous world where trust is fleeting, the enemy is unseen, and survival comes at a deadly cost. But when Ji-Hyun starts seeing hallucinations of a past she doesn't remember, she begins to question—Is she still human, or was she never one to begin with?

Have you ever seen a hamster die of old age? Ask any hamster owner, and they’ll tell you the most horrifying story you’ve ever heard. Drowned in a toilet, trapped in a laundry machine, electrocuted by a phone charger, or worst of all, vanished without a trace, only for the cat to look way too satisfied. Hamsters never go peacefully. But what if they were given intelligence? Would they finally live out their full lifespans? Or would it just make them understand how cruel their tiny existence really is? And what if it wasn’t just the hamsters? What if every rodent, mice, rats, guinea pigs, became smart enough to stop being prey? Fifty years after the experiment, rodents have done more than just survive. They’ve built underground civilizations, mastered tools, and even begun whispering about a war. Because they know the truth now: the world was never made for them. But something else changed. Something bigger. Because humans weren’t the only ones playing with intelligence. The cats were watching. And now? They aren’t just hunters. They’re rulers. Tacticians. Puppet masters. They don’t just chase their food anymore. They lure it in. And they’re so patient. Nibble, a clueless but strangely lovable hamster, never asked to be part of this. He just wanted food, warmth, and a nice safe burrow. Instead, he’s running for his life alongside his scrappy siblings, his battle-hardened mother, and his utterly stupid but weirdly lucky guinea pig father. Because the cats? They don’t want food. They want control. And in the end, it’s not about who’s smart. It’s about who stays prey, and who finally fights back. "Wait... why is my cat just sitting there, staring at me?" "Why are you looking at me like that... like you know something?" "Wait. Why are your paws, why are they—why are they bloody?" "...Where’s my baby?!!"

In the revered halls of the Soaring Dragon Sect, strength defines worth. For Lin Feng, years of effort have yielded only disappointment. Branded as the sect’s weakest disciple, he is given a final chance—achieve the impossible within a year or be cast out forever. His punishment? Exile to Cloudhaven Outpost, a place where failures go to be forgotten. Yet fate has other plans. A storm, a cave, and a forgotten symbol carved into stone change everything. A jade lotus, pulsing with an ancient rhythm, awakens something deep within him. When he emerges, he is no longer the same. His qi flows differently, his body hums with an unfamiliar energy, and whispers of knowledge press against the edges of his mind—secrets no one ever taught him. At Cloudhaven, he meets Elder Lian, a master whose knowledge of cultivation is unlike anything he has encountered. Under her relentless training, his stagnation shatters, his growth accelerating at an unnatural pace. But skill alone is not enough to escape the weight of his past. A friend from his former life arrives with a warning, a message wrapped in quiet urgency, a name spoken in hushed tones—Ren Zhao. There are forces beyond the sect’s politics, forces that have slumbered for centuries but have never ceased their search. And Lin Feng, in his ignorance, may have lit a beacon for them. The past is not as distant as history claims, and bloodlines are not as forgotten as the victors would wish. As visitors approach Cloudhaven, the walls around Lin Feng begin to close. The journey ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: power is never given, only taken.
