A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed and transformed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic. But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world? Warning: The photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!

*PROJECT VIREX* Genre: Sci-Fi | Thriller | Psychological Drama | Bio-Horror Tags : • Slow Burn • Classified Files • Genetic Mutation • Global Stakes • Emotionally Complex Characters • Creature Horror ..................................... “ Buried beneath the ice, it waited. Watching. Learning. Growing. ” When an ancient organism is uncovered in Antarctica, the world is told it's just another climate research breakthrough. But inside Vault 7 — the most secure bio-containment facility on Earth — scientists begin to realize: this thing isn’t extinct… and it’s not alone... As systems fail and sanity unravels, a broken team of scientists, soldiers, and civilians must face the truth buried in their own pasts — and in the creature’s evolving biology. Because this entity doesn’t just survive...... It adapts. It remembers. And it’s already inside. What to Expect: - Realistic science woven with global conspiracy - Deep character arcs and emotional realism - A creature that doesn’t kill… it rewrites - Slow-building tension that explodes into chaos - Chapters include journal entries, memos, and logs — feel like you’re inside the story “ Some threats aren't meant to be contained. Some stories were never meant to be told. ”

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

Ren Vireo just wanted to wander. No great destiny. No chosen one prophecy. Just a backpack, a weird journal, and a dream to see what’s out there. But when a ripple in space-time flings him into Cindale, a world powered by dreams and ruled by living mana, Ren quickly learns that travel isn’t so simple anymore. Every step he takes alters the fabric of the worlds he walks. Every stranger he helps awakens new laws of magic. And somewhere out there… the multiverse is watching him. Now, Ren’s journey spans infinite universes, each with its own mana, myths, and madness. He makes friends with talking fireballs, duels with banana-wielding knights, paints reality into being, and sometimes saves a world by accident. He’s not a hero. He’s not even sure what he’s doing. But the longer he travels, the more the worlds begin to change… Because when Ren walks, the universe evolves. And he’s just getting started.

“I Reincarnated into a Book I Never Wrote” "This world was never supposed to exist. I never wrote it. And yet… it remembers me." Arin Kael, a young aspiring novelist, dies before his first manuscript is ever completed. But death is not the end. He wakes up in a strange yet familiar world—a story he never published, never wrote down, but only imagined long ago. The landscapes, the characters, the rules of magic… all are born from the scattered fragments of his abandoned ideas. There's only one problem: He’s not the protagonist. He’s not the author. And the villain looks exactly like him. With no memory of finishing this tale, Arin finds himself trapped inside a living book—one that evolves, rewrites itself, and knows his secrets. Joined by Veyra, a heroine who claims she was erased from his forgotten drafts, and Mira, a witch who speaks in quotes from his real-life journals, Arin must navigate a world where characters are self-aware, plots bend like paper, and reality obeys narrative logic. But somewhere in the shadows, someone—or something—is still writing. Who is the true author of this world? Why was Arin brought back to a book he never wrote? And when the final page turns… will he still exist?

I never asked to be the chosen anything. I had a nice enough life, if you enjoy communing with dead people, wrangling ghostly regrets, and being occasionally mistaken for a lost Victorian child. Harrowers don’t get holidays, and we certainly don’t get destiny. We get well-worn boots, crumbling field journals, and maybe—if we’re lucky—a thermos that doesn’t leak. I was fine with that. Then came the part where I accidentally got involved in a celestial conspiracy. You know, the usual: unraveling the fabric of fate, discovering I may or may not be some mythical thread-weaver, dodging bureaucratic Fae with sharp smiles and sharper agendas, and, most inconveniently of all, developing a highly inconvenient attraction to a certain exiled Huntsman of the Unseelie Court who looks he stepped out GQ: Gothic Edition and smells like rain. Alaric Fen. Yes, that Alaric. The one with the eyes like amber lightning and cheekbones you could cut yourself on. Now I’m trying to stop the Balance from folding like a wet towel, while two ancient Courts most humans are blissfully unaware about flirt with civil war, and everyone keeps looking at me like I’ve got the answers. I don't. I have tattoos I didn't sign up for, a fast-talking con artist for a best friend, and some stubborn hope that kindness still counts for something. So if you're looking for a grand epic of magic, love, betrayal, memory, and rebellion—well. Here we are.  Just… don’t expect me to smile about it. Come along if you'd like. I could use someone on my side. -Entry from the diary of Grey Wyrde

Ibang mundo. Ibang katawan. Dalawang alaala. Sa pagdilat ni Maia, siya ay wala na sa sariling katawan—bagkus, nasa loob ng isang dalagang may dugong maharlika, sa isang mundong pamilyar sa kanyang alaala… ngunit hindi kailanman tunay na sa kanya. Isang mundong tila nabuhay mula sa mga pahina ng isang lumang journal— isang kasaysayang hindi niya inakalang magiging kanya. Ngunit sa kaniyang pagpasok sa katauhan ng isang maharlikang binibini na nakatakdang mamatay, isinumpa ni Maia na babaguhin ang tadhana. Na ililigtas niya ito mula sa trahedyang gumuguhit sa landas nito. Subalit habang lumalalim siya sa bawat alaala at bawat kasinungalingan, unti-unting nawawala ang kaniyang katiyakan. May mga puwang na hindi niya maipaliwanag. May mga lihim na pilit nagpaparamdam. At sa kanyang paghahanap ng mga kasagutan… isang pares ng mata ang lihim ding nakamasid sa kanya—mata ng isang tao na tila matagal nang naghihintay, at handang sirain ang lahat… maging ang puso niyang matagal nang iningatan.

In the seemingly ordinary halls of Northwood High, Sam Gray Stone, a keen observer who finds solace in logic and quiet contemplation, notices Elliona Elfray, a brilliant but shy girl who perceives the world in intricate layers. Their initial connection is a subtle hum in the echoing quiet of the library, a shared glance that hints at unseen depths within their reserved exteriors. Drawn together by an unexpected partnership for an advanced English project, Sam and Elliona begin to navigate not just the complexities of literature, but also the uncharted territories of their own minds. Through hushed conversations in the library, a chance encounter at a stubbornly locked locker, and an unexpected shared appreciation for fantastical realms found in books, a quiet resonance begins to form between them. Their connection deepens beyond academics during a visit to a quirky independent bookstore and a shared afternoon tending a community garden. In each subtle interaction, they discover a kindred spirit in the other – someone who sees beyond the surface, who understands the unspoken language of their quiet souls. As their bond strengthens, they find solace and understanding in each other's presence, a refuge from the often-cacophonous world around them. But as their feelings blossom, they must navigate the delicate balance of their introverted natures and the often-awkward realities of high school life, including the well-meaning but disruptive presence of Sam's boisterous friend, Dickson. Through shared literary passions, quiet moments of vulnerability, and gentle acts of kindness, Sam and Elliona slowly, carefully, begin to acknowledge the profound connection growing between them. "Subtle Resonance" is a story about the quiet power of observation, the beauty of understated connection, and the transformative journey of two introspective souls finding their voice and their heart in the gentle echo of another's understanding. It's a reminder that the deepest connections are often found not in grand gestures, but in the subtle, resonant moments that speak volumes.

Rei, a shy first-year high school student who feels safer behind the lens of his journalism club’s camera, never expected his heart to race just from seeing someone.

Every word he writes becomes real. Every lie he tells rewrites the world. When a forbidden journal appears before a fallen soul, reality begins to crumble—one sentence at a time. Cursed by a divine author long erased from history, the journal grants its bearer unimaginable power: the ability to twist fate, rewrite truth, and resurrect memories never lived. But power like this comes with a price—every lie written bleeds a sin into the world, and the journal remembers each one. As hidden gods, ancient scribes, and shattered timelines begin to collide, the boy who was once forgotten becomes the center of a war between creation and corruption. How much of reality is truth... and how much was just written in? --- Dark fantasy, forbidden knowledge, reincarnation, betrayal, and a story that rewrites itself. Add to your Library if you dare to read what was never meant to be written. ---

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

Just random things that I can think of. Journal, stories and just anything.
