Sunken Valley Cavern

After successfully forming his Golden Spiritual Core, Bai Langtian was betrayed by his own Sect Master, shoved from the peak of a towering mountain, his core stolen. But when he opened his eyes... he was still alive. His core, however, was gone. With the very heart of his cultivation torn away, how could he possibly fight back? How could he take revenge on the man who had stolen everything from him? There was only one path left: The Path of Ten Thousand Beasts. And so, in the depths of a dark, cursed valley, Langtian would have to fight and kill countless demonic beasts, devouring their flesh, drinking their blood, and absorbing their spiritual essence. Only then would he have a chance… Not to reform a mere Spiritual Core, but to forge something far more powerful: A Devouring Beast Core. As he continued to hunt, to kill, to survive, he grew stronger, more savage, more relentless. Until one day, the broken disciple who had been cast down... would rise again, stronger than ever, and stand at the top of the world. __________________________________________ Other name: Vạn Thú Chi Đạo | Wàn Shòu Zhī Dào This is not a translation.

“A man who wears a thousand faces. A past drenched in blood. And a future balanced on the edge of a knife.” Kenny, code-named FarFlame, is a master spy with unmatched combat skills, a face that changes with every mission, and a heart hidden behind layers of grief and vengeance. In a world ruled by unseen powers, shifting alliances, and devastating technology, he’s not just fighting enemies — he’s fighting fate itself. Each mission takes him deeper into the global underworld: from the deadly underground fighting rings of Mexico to the lush valleys of Bhutan, from espionage in Indian temples to gas warfare in China, and ultimately, into the twisted heart of betrayal that started it all. Alongside Kenny is Khushi, a fierce agent-turned-lover; Rael, his young apprentice with a mysterious gift; and a web of allies and traitors — like Lyna, the hacker whose final words echo across nations, and Dieogo, a warlord built from Kenny’s own legacy. But as secrets unravel, a terrifying truth rises: Kenny may not just be the hero… but the architect of everything.

In a forgotten corner of a vampire-ruled world, sixteen-year-old Elira, a quiet shepherd girl, lives a simple life among the hills her days filled with tending sheep, caring for her younger sister Lilin, and sharing soft-spoken moments with Nicholas, the nobleman’s son and her father’s old friend’s child. What blooms between Elira and Nicholas is young love: gentle, hesitant, and pure, untouched by the brutal world beyond their valley. But their peace is short-lived. Each spring, the vampires demand a Blood Tax; a girl from each village is offered to serve at the estate of a vampire lord. When the cruel hand of fate comes knocking, Elira’s name is chosen. Though the lord originally asked for her younger sister, her stepmother—driven by jealousy and self-interest—manipulates her father, Mr. Smith, into sending Elira instead. The choice is cemented when Elira learns her father owes a blood debt to the lord, forcing her to serve not for one year, but for several. Torn from her home, her love, and her dreams, Elira is taken to the vampire’s cold, towering estate where she is kept alive solely for her blood. She is neither harmed nor seduced, but her life is drained slowly—physically and emotionally—under strict rules, cruel servants, and a master whose gaze grows darker with time. As Elira struggles to survive the punishing routine, small mercies shine through: the kindness of a quiet housemaid, a secret song hummed at night, and memories of Nicholas that keep her soul intact. But when a mysterious northern vampire lord attends a decadent party and sees Elira, he recognises something in her eyes, something that stirs memories of a girl he once saved from drowning. She is not for sale… yet he is not a man who is easily denied. A deal is struck in secret. And Elira’s fate takes a darker, more dangerous turn—away from one vampire’s estate and into the chilling unknown of another lord’s domain. A story of love, sacrifice, betrayal, and quiet rebellion, a tithe of blood, a bloom of love explores the strength of a young girl forced to grow up too soon, and a romance that dares to survive in a world ruled by monsters.

n a forgotten corner of the world, amidst the whispers of rural wind and the monotony of farm life, resides Elias, a child whose mind defies all human logic. He knows no boredom, only an infinite universe of patterns to unravel. His quantum brain not only allows him to understand the present with unprecedented clarity but also resonates with the echoes of primal wisdom, connecting him to an essence of humanity lost to time. With an innocence as cold as his impeccable logic, Elias seeks neither fame nor power. His sole goal is limitless exploration, the constant improvement of everything he observes, and a total comprehension of the world's vast and complex tapestry. For him, every element of life is a thesis to be proven, a mystery his intellect yearns to unveil. Step into the mind of a prodigy who doesn't conform to imposed rules but rewrites them in his silent pursuit of absolute knowledge.

At the edge of Elmspire Valley, nestled within towering spires and marble halls, lies Hillstead University—a place known for prestige, secrecy, and power older than history itself. At Hillstead University, nothing is ever as it seems. Beneath the ancient stone and silver halls lies a power long forgotten… waiting to awaken. Five strangers arrive from different worlds—each carrying secrets, scars, and no idea what binds them together. Until the arc calls to them. An elemental force, older than them. A legacy buried beneath silence. And a destiny none of them asked for. As strange events unfold and danger closes in, they begin to change—each touched by a different force of nature. But power never comes without a cost. Enemies lurk in shadows. The past begins to stir. And if they don’t unite in time, the arc may tear them apart. This is the rise of something ancient. This is Arcbound.

But when his last avatar, named Stray, really bonds with him, everything begins to change. What starts as a desperate struggle to survive quickly grows into a chaotic rise through ranked raids, underground brawls, and deadly bounty missions. With 290 days until a tournament that will shake the game world, Contrario is thrown into brutal training simulations, tangled love interests, and savage battles with elite bounty hunters and mercenaries like the infamous Kyra and Axel. Killer twins who fight for who can pay them the most, and who just might hold the key to Contrario's haunted past. But in a world built on stats, politics, and power, what happens when the most underestimated player becomes the most unpredictable? How would Contrario handle opening up to people who later betray him? And how far will Contrario go to prove that one slot is all he needs?

In the deepest cavern below the world, the Blackbaast holds many Noble Houses. For Artemis of the Lunastre Family, Nobility is more of a curse than a blessing. If he weren't from such a prominent House, he could easily obscure his defect. He would have no need to keep the Spirit he contracted with a secret, and he certainly wouldn't have to fight for his own survival, spirited to a strange city of monsters by the whims of Fate. This is the story of many figures who are puzzle pieces of an inevitability, something long-fated, mysteries that scream their threats to emerge from their abyssal cavern. Shadows tremble in the depths, encompassed worlds obscuring the many dangerous secrets of history. Might they be unraveled, all ways of life would be threatened. But to climb higher requires risks, to seek the light requires a Gambit of Lifetimes. Only when one determines themselves capable of risking it all, can all prosper. This is the tale of a Crownless Prince, of the Last of Lords. [+++] Cover by @lqbtae.

A lowly slave finds herself at odds with the merciless crown prince, their fates dangerously entwined, and meant to separate only with her inevitable death by his hand. Sold to a brothel as a child, she wore the mask of insanity to escape the brutal clutches of life that awaited her, but it only brought her to another hell. She persisted, hoping to one day find her freedom and return to the ethereal valleys where she was born. All Alyssane desired was to find her home.

His gaze held hers, intense and unwavering. “What are you hiding?” He murmured, his breath hot against her skin as she defiantly met his eyes, “Maybe I don’t you to find out.” A sly smile curled over his lips and he leaned in, his warmth flooded her heart with mixed emotions, in contrast to the coldness of his eyes with a thinly veiled threat, “Are you sure?” "What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

When childhood friends Ravi and Sneha (nicknamed Aami) reunite after years apart, it’s not for a grand reunion or romance—it’s to keep a promise made one Diwali night long ago: to travel together and see the world, starting with the unexplored beauty of Northeast India. Ravi, still grieving the recent loss of his mother, finds himself numb, directionless, and buried under the weight of unspoken sadness. Sneha, grounded, funny, and full of warmth, pushes him to keep the promise. Together, they pack into a van—with cycles strapped to the back—and begin a summer journey across lush landscapes, rain-soaked villages, waterfalls, hidden festivals, and kitchens full of unforgettable food. From Ziro Valley to Shillong, Aizawl to Loktak Lake, they meet strangers with quiet stories, eat way too many momos, argue over chilli chutneys, and slowly come to terms with the lives they’ve lived—and the people they’ve lost. But this isn’t a romance. It’s about friendship, healing, and the spaces grief and laughter occupy together. It's a journey through memory, through childhood, and through the places that still feel like home—even when home is gone. As Ravi comes to understand what his late mother’s quiet strength meant, and what it means to really keep a promise, the road finally leads them to a still, shining lake where everything comes full circle.

Title: The Seclusion of Pens For six long years, Pens had lived in isolation, hidden away in a secluded mountain retreat where time seemed to stretch endlessly. The walls of her small cabin were lined with books, maps, and remnants of a life she barely remembered. The only sounds were the rustling trees and the occasional howl of the wind through the narrow valley. She had once been someone—someone important, perhaps even powerful—but now, she was just a ghost, forced to pretend she was dead to the world. She had never been given the full truth, only fragments of explanations whispered to her before she was taken away. "For your safety," they had said. "For the greater good," they had insisted. But what was this greater good that required her to vanish from existence? Why did she have to live like a shadow, watching the world from the edge of oblivion? Pens had spent years trying to piece together the mystery of her exile. Was she a fugitive? A missing heiress? A pawn in some unseen war? Every possibility seemed more absurd than the last. She had trained in secret, sharpening her mind, her body, and her instincts, preparing for the day she could break free. But the world had not forgotten her entirely—there was still the promise. Every six months, a messenger arrived at dusk, cloaked in secrecy, delivering a single cryptic letter. Sometimes, it contained nothing more than a warning. Other times, it offered hints of the life she had left behind. But always, without fail, it ended with the same words: "You may go out once. Just once." It was a cruel allowance—one fleeting night of freedom before returning to her prison. Each time, she ventured beyond the mountains, blending into crowds, searching for answers. Each time, she returned with more questions than before. As the sun set on another six-month mark, Pens stood at the threshold of her hidden world, gripping the newest letter in her hands. This time, it was different. The words on the page were urgent, almost desperate: "You must leave. Do not return. The promise is broken." Her heart pounded. For the first time in six years, she wasn’t just being given a night of freedom. She was being told to run.

This is gonna be an uncanny-valley/doppelganger novel set in modern times. A man falls asleep and wakes up to the apocalypse. It'll probably be more horror survival in the initial stages and later on some more action mixed in. I only plan to have 2 members in this harem. There will eventually be powers in the world and civilization will be restarted in a way. Honestly, considering my knowledge of myself I'll probably stop before getting to that point. I'll realize I haven't posted a chapter in a while and stress out about it only to think no one probably cares or that it's been so long that I feel my work won't match up to previous chapters and stop. Or maybe it's just a massive amount of procrastination. Cover art isn't mine and was made by Koma440

In the depths of a forgotten cavern, a nameless skeleton awakens—reborn through dark magic and granted a soul. Marked by the gods to compete in the deadly King’s Race, he must rise from bones and ash, build an army of the undead, and carve out a city of the dead: Nécropolis. But with each soul claimed and each enemy defeated, the line between monster and monarch begins to blur.

Born in chains. Bound by wrath. Crowned by pride. Terra is a world torn by blood and ruled by power—fifteen times the size of Earth, its lands are carved into colossal continents. Each is dominated by a different race: elves in their emerald sanctuaries, vampires cloaked in moonlight, giants whose steps shatter valleys, and dwarves digging into secrets they were never meant to find. Nine seas divide the land. Seven moons watch from above. And a cursed, blue-burning sun blinds those who dare stare too long. Beneath them all—beneath the world itself—lies a race forgotten by history but forged from divine blood: **The Beastborn.** Once revered. Now shackled. **Azreal Morningstar** is one of them. A slave. A beast. A man who refuses to kneel. He does not seek peace. He doesn’t crave justice. He wants *freedom*—not granted, but taken. Not as a gift, but as vengeance. And when the lost throne of Solomon stirs once more, Azreal won’t chase prophecy. He’ll ignite rebellion. **This isn’t the tale of a hero.** It’s the rise of a warborn king— One forged in chains, rising to burn the ones that bound him.
