In the crumbling, magic-forsaken empire of Veridia, where ancient cathedrals stand as skeletal monuments to a forgotten age, a clandestine war brews beneath the surface. Magic, once the lifeblood of the land, is now a forbidden whisper, hunted down by the zealous Inquisition. Yet, in the shadowed alleys and forgotten crypts, secret cults dedicated to the old ways thrive, their illicit rituals a desperate plea for power in a world stripped bare. Our protagonist, a young and resourceful smuggler, navigates this treacherous landscape, his survival dependent on his wits and his ability to slip through the cracks of imperial law. Drawn into the dangerous currents of Veridia's hidden magical underworld, he finds himself ensnared in a confrontation far grander and more perilous than any he has faced before. One fateful midnight, within the hallowed, decaying walls of a crumbling cathedral, he comes face-to-face with a high priestess of a forbidden cult. This encounter is not merely a clash of wills, but a collision of ideologies, a spark that threatens to ignite the smoldering embers of rebellion and expose the empire's deepest, darkest secrets. As the ancient stones bear witness, the smuggler must choose between self-preservation and a desperate gamble for a world yearning for the return of its lost magic.

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Warning From Earth A dystopian work of fiction written by Rey, depicting a world in global chaos due to secret projects unmonitored by the public.

Every character, organization, and event depicted is the result of imagination, arranged to illustrate an alternative theory about hidden forces that control the direction of the world.

Kotarō Nozomi is fluent in English—but not in speaking. Not in front of others. Quiet, observant, and chronically self-edited, he’s somehow drafted into his class’s English Debate Competition… and has no idea how to say no. Paired with Haruka—a bold, expressive club member—and Watanabe, who barely tries, Kotarō finds himself stuck between silence and expectation. At first, standing at the podium feels impossible. But when the tournament begins and he finally opens his mouth… something changes. From makeshift practice rooms to official matches, Kotarō starts to learn how to speak under pressure, how to argue with purpose—and how language can connect more than it divides. A slow-burn, grounded school drama about anxiety, competitive debate, unexpected growth, and the people who force us to speak—whether we’re ready or not.

She’s much more— And she makes eternity feel like home.” Rowel is a wandering, flamboyant magician with a coat full of tricks. With a mind stitched together from the memories of others—a patchwork identity held together by forbidden magic and sheer audacity. He trades in secrets and stolen recollections, paying the price of memory with pieces of himself every time he wields his dark powers. has never feared the unknown. Until he met her. Ravenne is her name—an ancient, eldritch being draped in human skin and sovereign silence. Worlds crumble where she walks, stars dim when she dreams. She has never loved. Never cared. Never flinched. But when Rowel stumbles into her realm by chance—or fate—fate-the performance begins, one he'd done before. From cursed kingdoms to collapsing realities, from magical toy soldiers to royal horrors hidden beneath gilded halls, their journey spirals into something neither of them expected: intimacy, madness, and devotion. As Ravenne slowly lowers her godlike veil and Rowel sheds his clownish smile, the boundary between human and divine begins to fray. But when grief bleeds into vengeance and forbidden rituals awaken ancient darkness, only one question remains: Can such an attraction survive a descent into something far beyond gods and men? ...or will devotion turn into destruction, when even eternity becomes too fragile to hold them?” ______________ "It feels much safer with you, Ravenne," "Safe... near me?" There was a note of incredulity in her tone. Not mocking or cold. Just curious. "I’ve unraveled worlds with less reason than a blink." Her hand lingered, fingers grazing his cheek, featherlight. Almost reverent. "Yet you curl beside me like I am shelter." She knelt—elegantly, terrifyingly quiet—and placed her forehead to his for a moment. "Then rest. If I am the reason you feel safe... then let that be true. Just for you."
