EXCERPT: “How did you get past the guards and track me to my private residence?” Lucien asked Meret. “A magician never reveals her secrets.” “You’re not a magician. You’re a thief.” “That’s a bit rude.” She raised a brow. “I’m sure there are friendlier synonyms. Like…‘unauthorized relocation specialist’?” “Thief.” he repeated, deadpan. ****************** She stole from him but He doesn’t want the art back… he wants her. ~~ Meret Quinn is a professional thief, known for vanishing without a trace and never leaving behind more than a calling card that nobody has ever managed to trace. She steals high-value artifacts for the thrill, not the money. Trust is a weakness to her and love is a liability she left behind a long time ago. But her latest job puts her on the radar of Lucien Moretti, a mafia billionaire with a taste for control and a reputation for never letting anyone get away with crossing him. He was supposed to make her disappear. Instead, he took something she actually cared about — her dog, Cray Cray. A secret no one was ever supposed to know. Now, if she wants him back, she has to play his game. One house. One lie. One string of impossible missions designed to flush out his enemies. And one condition she never expected: she has to pose as his fiancée until the job is done. She hates every second. He enjoys every minute. But pretending to be wanted by a man like him starts to blur lines — especially when he whispers things in her ear… and means them. Neither of them is used to losing. But obsession doesn’t play fair. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession, control, lust, and manipulation, with morally complex characters navigating dangerous desires. While this is a love story, reader discretion is advised.

Born without fate, he devoured the destinies of gods. In the beginning, Alister Von Fai was nothing, no name, no soul, no right to exist. But when the forbidden records of countless fallen universes converged, something unprecedented emerged. The Mother of All failed to foresee him. A devourer. A harbinger. A threat to Ascendance itself. The heavens condemned him. The Incarnates of Disaster hunted him. Even those who loved him sought to seal or slay him. But Alister was no fool. He saw through their fears, their desires, their judgment. For his path was never written. His existence, never sanctioned. And his desire? Not for wealth. Not for glory. Not for fleeting mortal fame… But to become the Ascendance of All. A being beyond fate. Beyond law. Beyond even the gods. --- [WPC JULY] Try reading this story and if its within you're cup of tea.

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence? Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough! Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

For Thyme, a university student wrestling with a profound fear of rejection and a fractured past, life is a constant puzzle. But when an unexpected escape alongside the magnetic, infuriating Meta leads them to a shared, tearful déjà vu at Hua Hin Beach, the puzzle shatters, hinting at a connection that defies explanation and an echo of forgotten emotions. As Thyme is flung through time, jolting between his chaotic present and the perilous underworld of the 1990s, he uncovers a startling revelation: he and Meta were once secretly entwined, their deep bond mysteriously severed by an unseen hand. In the present, Meta stumbles upon his father's hidden secrets: a mysterious notebook and an old telephone. The notebook reveals cryptic pleas from a Meta in the 1990s, desperately urging him to save Thyme from a deadly fate that will unfold in the future, hinting that the timeline itself hangs in the balance, shifting with their actions. Meanwhile, the old telephone, used by Meta in his high school days before a selective amnesia veiled his memories concerning Thyme, becomes a conduit to the past. Through it, the Meta of today unknowingly communicates with the time-traveling Thyme of the past, sparking a hidden relationship that flourishes. Yet, an envious shadow lurks, plotting an accident to separate them, erasing crucial memories and fracturing their bond. Now, caught between the passionate, forbidden romance with a charismatic yet terrifying Mafia heir—the 90s version of Meta—and the undeniable pull towards the Meta of today, whose quiet intensity stirs a forgotten ache in his soul, Thyme faces an agonizing choice. With time, memory, and reality blurring into a dangerous labyrinth, Thyme must not only confront the shadowy forces that conspired to tear them apart but also decide: is the love he feels for two Metas a cruel echo, a fated reunion spanning lifetimes, or something far more complex? Can he reclaim a lost history, or will the very act of remembering shatter his present and all hope for a future?

"Time... the one force even we couldn't comprehend. We danced upon the stars, sculpted worlds, and etched eternity into stone. We believed ourselves beyond death—convinced we had transcended Time itself. But Time... it watched. It waited. And now, it strikes to prove us fools. What irony... To build empires that span millennia, only to be undone by a flicker. A single soul, born beneath the veil of dust and dream—but chosen by fate. Why? Why would that power choose him? What purpose lies in such defiance? Why would the power only slumber within a child cradled by mortals? Even we, for all our knowing, are left to wonder... and in fear." “Huh? What are you mumbling about, old man?” “You'll see... very soon, when Time’s judgment befalls us.”

Ketika semua orang mengagungkan Dewa Kemakmuran, Hiyori justru ingin menendangnya ke neraka. Gunung Kouzu, tempat suci di antara Desa Shinra dan Shinrei, dipercaya menjadi tempat tinggal Dewa Kemakmuran yang katanya sakti dan dihormati. Dewa itu menjadi kunci kemakmuran banyak orang, bahkan di luar kedua desa tersebut. Dewa itu adalah satu-satunya tempat penduduk desa meminta pertolongan. Namun, bagi Hiyori yang selalu diminta Tetua Desa untuk mengantarkan makanan dan buah-buahan sebagai persembahan ke kediaman dewa itu, Hiyori tahu satu fakta yang tidak diketahui siapa pun: Dewa itu genitnya minta ampun! Dia hobi gombal, suka melempar pujian tak pantas dengan wajah tak berdosa, dan punya kebiasaan menenggak bir seolah itu teh suci. Pokoknya, dia lebih mirip dewa genit dengan misi pribadi daripada figur surgawi yang bersinar tenang. Dan yang paling gila? Dia menyuruh Hiyori memanggilnya dengan sebutan 'Dewa Hymen', yaitu dewa perkawinan. Apa-apaan? Jadi, waktu pertama kali Hiyori naik gunung untuk mengantarkan persembahan, dia pulang dengan terbirit-birit. Bertemu dewa bukannya membuat dia merasa aman, dia justru takut akan menjadi korban kemesuman Dewa Hymen yang selanjutnya!

Nicole knew better than to fall for temptation—but temptation never looked like Coach Dray Carter. He’s older. Forbidden. Off-limits in every possible way.

Pressed against the wall. His mouth on someone else’s skin. And still… she can’t stop thinking about him. This isn’t just a story of love. It’s obsession. Lust. Power.

# CALM # DECISIVEKILLS After “Renegade Immortal”, “Pursuit of the Truth”, “I Shall Seal the Heavens”, “A Will Eternal”, and “A World Worth Protecting”, this is Ergen’s sixth long-length novel, “Outside of Time”. Xu Qing’s world sank into deathly silence after the descendence of “God”. Master cultivators brought the human race and escaped the continent, and the remaining people struggled to survive. Every place that was met by “God’s” gaze had nearly all life forms wiped out. Young Xu Qing was lucky enough to survive. But in a world where ferocious beasts roamed and infighting was rampant within the human race, it was difficult to survive. “If cultivation doesn’t give me the power to fight against God, then I shall become God myself!” This is a story of how a human teenager became a god, step by step, to survive.

This is a fantasy world like any other — Kingdoms. Towns. Nobles. A power called Senar that fuels it all. And like most fantasy worlds… It’s drowning in war. For over a thousand years, humans have fought the Darkbeasts — monsters born of nightmare, clawing their way through cities and legacies alike. Our MC? Silias Raverant. A laid-back nobody from a village no one remembers. A boy with a dormant Mythical bloodline, no access to Senar, and no place in a world that worships power. Except… he's not normal. Not even close. Born with raw superhuman strength and instincts that evolve without limit, Silias could crush most soldiers before breakfast — if only he cared enough to try. He doesn’t. He just wants one thing: To join the military, rack up points, and stay close to her — the girl chosen by prophecy, taken away as one of the Five meant to end the war. That was the plan… Until the World Will whispered in his ear. Until a System blinked into existence. Until he slaughtered a Darkbeast Prodigy and became a beacon for its kind. And until it told him the truth. He’s going to die. Soon. And maybe… just maybe… That’s where his story begins.

In the mystical realm where gods weave the very fabric of existence, a cataclysm unfolds. Imagine, if you will, the celestial tapestry torn asunder. Satakal, the ancient serpent deity who wove the threads of time, lies slain by an enigmatic sorcerer—a wizard whose motives remain veiled in shadow. As Satakal’s divine essence seeps away, the world trembles. Time itself unstabilizes, like a delicate spell unraveling in a tempest. A mysterious ailment afflicts mortals, pulling them from the temporal flow. These afflicted souls form tribes and cults, their minds unmoored, their bodies adrift between moments. They rise against the once-mighty kingdoms, their allegiance to chaos and entropy. And before this turmoil, Alron, a humble lad from the tranquil village of Wolfur nestled within the spine mountains, faces an extraordinary twist of fate. His days were once filled with village festivals and stolen glances at Freya, his heart’s desire. But destiny, capricious as a fairy’s laugh, intervenes. Alron and Freya, without warning, hurtle forward through the eons. Two hundred years hence, they find themselves strangers in a world bereft of familiarity. Their quest: to mend the fractured strands of time, to restore balance, and perhaps, just perhaps, to reclaim lost love and forgotten memories.

A girl spending her time in the pages of her lost beloved books.

Dreams rot. Faith mutates. And somewhere in the ruins, something is watching... laughing. Dive into a dark, surreal journey where nothing is certain—except that once you enter, you may not come back the

When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.
