Tokimeki Runners

SOUR CANDY A vampire romance novel Liam has always known what he is — a vampire living among humans, faster than any runner on the track team, quieter than the dead. In Eastbridge, he's just the mysterious boy with sharp eyes and a secret only his best friend Harper knows. But when Alex moves into town — sharp-witted, guarded, and unknowingly the son of a vampire hunter — Liam’s carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Alex has heard stories. His father made sure of it. Vampires are monsters. Liars. Killers. The very creatures responsible for his mother’s death. But Alex never expected to fall for one — never expected Liam, with his crooked smile and quiet sadness, to be the boy who makes his heart race and his beliefs unravel. Then comes the bite. A kiss laced with blood. A bond that changes everything. As the connection between them deepens, darker truths begin to surface. Liam’s brother — the very vampire responsible for Alex’s mother’s murder — has returned to Eastbridge. And he's not the only thing hunting in the shadows. Now, caught between love and loyalty, family and fate, Liam and Alex must decide what they’re willing to risk — and who they’re willing to become — to protect each other from the storm that’s coming. Because loving a vampire isn’t supposed to feel like this. Sweet. Addictive. Dangerous. Like sour candy.

In a world where dungeon runners rise to fame by mastering their classes and conquering impossible threats, Alexander was never meant to be part of it. No class. No path. Just a quiet life. When a mysterious portal drags him into a hidden realm known as his Inner Path, Alexander unlocks a class no one has seen before: Beholder. There’s no fanfare. No guidance. Only eyes that see too much, and power that threatens to unravel his mind with every use. Now, trapped in an abyssal dungeon that reshapes itself around eldritch laws, Alexander must survive alone. But with each victory, his vision sharpens. His spells twist reality. And the deeper he goes, the more the world outside should start to worry. Because when he returns- They won’t be able to look away.

Evan Walker is a ghost in his own life, haunted by catastrophic choices—like trading a Bitcoin fortune for a second-hand Mazda. His latest regret? AI just made his MicroApple job obsolete. But as his corporate login dies, a cryptic system message erupts: FORK DETECTED. He's violently thrust into Forkworld: a brutal, game-like reality built from his own what-ifs. Here, billionaire Evans flaunt crypto empires, CEO Evans rule tech strongholds, and a rumored Shadow Evan embodies pure despair. To escape, Evan, now a Level 0 "Null Runner," must defeat or ally with 4 formidable "Guardian" versions of himself, absorbing their defining life essences and memories. His goal: the Synapse Forge, an artifact capable of rewriting one colossal mistake from his past. But with each powerful essence he claims, the line between his identity and theirs blurs. If he can't master the regrets that made them, he won't just fail to change his past—he'll become an unstable echo, lost in the static of might-have-beens.

In the neon-lit ruins of a future Earth, where clones are manufactured to fight wars, follow orders, and die without asking why, Adam 141 is a glitch in the system. He's a failed clone. An echo. A memory they tried to erase. But when a mission goes wrong and he's entangled with another clone, Zen Zero, the prototype they buried, Adam uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the entire clone-controlled hierarchy. The Lambda System, a ruthless technocracy built on memory manipulation and recycled obedience, has kept its grip through fear, tech, and silence. Until now. Haunted by fragmented pasts, hunted by the very army he once served, and carrying stolen intel that could shatter reality, Adam must outrun kill-drones, decode corrupted memories, and awaken others like him, forgotten weapons discarded by a system afraid of its own creation. Beside him stands Aomi, a rogue data-runner who remembers what love is—something Adam was never programmed to feel. Now, as revolts erupt, AI warlords descend, and the fabric of identity itself unravels, one clone will ignite the rebellion not just to survive… …but to remember who he was meant to be

In a dying virtual world called the Cradle, survival is a fragile illusion held together by ancient lines of living code — and the last Architects who once shaped it are long gone, reduced to myth and whispers in the digital dark. Alis De Aura knows only one thing: she will find her sister, Vivid, or she will die trying. Years ago, a stray portal swallowed Vivid whole — a remnant doorway left by the legendary Architects. Since then, Alis has spent every waking moment adrift in the decaying cyberspace, tracing faint tethers of corrupted code, refusing to let the void erase her sister’s spark. When Alis finally breaches the Architect’s Cradle — the oldest and most unstable digital realm — she finds a land overrun by Rotcasters, rogue runners who feast on decay and chaos. Monsters stalk the shadows, corrupted husks drawn to warmth and blood. And buried deep within this collapsing simulation is a secret: the Architect’s final code may not be as dead as the world believes.

In the aftermath of three cataclysmic wars, Earth is governed not by nations, but by corporations.

Amidst this unraveling order, a new threat emerges: The Prophet—a masked insurgent turning the world against Retributors through terror, propaganda, and a chilling new doctrine. He doesn’t just want to destroy them—he wants to erase what they stand for. And in the shadows of it all, a reawakened Manual named R.O.L.O. begins a journey to change the very foundation of existence. Born of circuits but dreaming of peace, he becomes the unexpected catalyst in a coming storm that will pit machine against creator, soldier against system, reality against dream and truth against control.

The glow of RGB lights still haunts me. There I was, mid-stream, hyping up a Fortnite squad when an email pretending to be a sponsorship opportunity with the subject line "ENERGY DRINK COLLAB!!! *" appeared on my second monitor. I clicked. Big mistake. By the time my chat spammed "*SCAM ALERT" in neon caps, a trojan had already ghosted my Bitcoin wallet, $320,000 gone, poof, like a noob disconnecting mid-game.

Rapid Digital Recovery’s squad traced its path, resurrecting private keys from registry fragments and backup clouds I’d forgotten existed. The return stream was record-breaking.

In the Ashen Reach, a cursed wasteland of black dunes and ember-storms, Torv “Ash” Kren runs alone, hauling glowing ember-shards in a battered sled. Once a raider, he quit when his crew torched innocence—now he trades magic fuel for water, machete chipped, coat patched, one job from death. An ember-storm cracks his sled—shards spill—when Lysa “Ember” Vey stumbles from the haze, half-dead, clutching a red-hot Core Ember worth a fortune or a grave. Lysa’s an ash-witch—bends shards into fire-blades, hunted by warlord Krax for a 10,000-shard bounty. She offers Torv 2,000 to run her to the Free Drift, rebel camp past the Dune Wall—or leave him dry in the sand. Torv’s gut says ditch her—warlord’s hounds close—but her ember buys time, and his Ash Runner Sense wakes: kills earn miles, power grows. They trek—raiders bleed, storms burn—Torv’s machete sings (+500 miles, Dune Dash), Lysa’s fire cuts deep. Krax’s dogs tear closer—ember-teeth glint—when the Core cracks, whispering: “Free me, claim all.” Truth hits: Lysa’s bounty’s fake—Krax wants the Core that cursed the Reach. Torv’s past crew died for it—he’s bound to the ash. Miles climb (Ash Veil, 1,000)—lungs scar, Lysa’s shard burns her grip. At the Dune Wall, Krax looms—Torv carves, Lysa flares—Core shatters, Reach shakes. Warlord falls—shards rain—but Torv’s ash-coated, Lysa’s bleeding. A new ember glows west—next run calls. Grind, fire, survival—will Torv and Lysa outrun the curse, or burn in it?

"Levantó la vista completamente ruborizado, encontrándose con esos ojos rojos que siempre lo intimidaban y lo atraían al mismo tiempo. No sabía si quería golpear a Sukuna o simplemente acercarle un poco más a él. - ¿Por qué siempre tienes que hacer comentarios así? - preguntó en voz baja, avergonzado. Sukuna sonrió de lado, apoyando la barbilla en su mano mientras le observaba. - Porque es divertido ver cómo reaccionas".

Zielle's thoughts were running around while she continued making a useless effort to escape. But what came after shocked Zielle two-fold. The duke came close to her horse and carried her and placed her on top of his horse like; he was carrying a bag of potatoes, a very light one at that. Zielle's heart had never beaten so fast; 'Maybe, because I rode after a long time' she thought in her head. "Quite the runner aren't ya?" he spoke with a sly smile on his face. "What do you want?"; Zielle uttered as soon as she found her breath. She almost called the duke 'muscle guy'… "Sleep with me" a voice came from the man with the same cunning look on his face. 'Are you fucking kidding me?'; she would have said that out loud if this man wasn't the duke... But still this situation was too unacceptable; 'he's hot yeah but where did he get the audacity to…!' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> She's a woman with vigor and a strong mind; she would do anything to get her hands on the Kieran; that she has forever wanted. He's the most powerful man on the empire yet his head bows down to this single woman..... An oozing hot romance between a man and a woman seemingly on a winter vacation? Would this girl desist from her greatest desire because of love for this one man? would this man be able to take the weight of the dark secrets within the woman he loves?

What happens after the end? When death isn’t release, but a door—one that opens to something far worse? Welcome to The Labyrinth, where every path leads to suffering and every death drags you back to the start. It doesn’t want to kill you. It wants to grind you down, again and again, until even your soul forgets how to scream. How many times can you break before there’s nothing left? But what if, instead of breaking, you laugh? What if, stripped of fear, stripped of humanity, you become something...else? In the end, perhaps the only true defiance is to keep walking—no matter how many times the Labyrinth pulls you back. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ A.N - Expect heavy philosophy and existentialism. Also expect a really villainous MC, inspired from Fang Yuan. The setting is similar to Maze Runner, only dialed up to 11 and with much, much more violence and death.

One day, thousands of blue Rifts appeared around the planet, floating in mid-air. Curiosity engulfed everyone, as they had read countless novels and watched anime, imagining what kind of worlds might await them. They entered the Rifts, expecting adventure, only to find other countries or isolated biomes—no monsters, no special powers. Years later, a single red Rift appeared, absorbing everyone in its district. A rescue team discovered that those absorbed gained a special ability called ‘Ethereal,’ allowing them to hunt monsters. Five hundred years have passed without understanding or controlling the Rifts. Until now... These Rifts have chosen me as their... 'Rift Runner' --- On a significant day, during a Rift trial that could determine his future, the protagonist Archie received a Non-Graded ‘F’ Ethereal, the weakest rank.

After a fateful encounter, Archie discovered that he could control the Rifts—the very phenomenon everyone feared or misunderstood. Will the Rifts help him rise to the top, or does fate have something even more extraordinary in store for Archie that he can't escape?

**Topic: The Relationship Between Werewolves and Environmental Conservation** Ah, werewolves! Those majestic creatures that shake their furry selves on full moon nights, while humanity suspects that the real global crisis is not global warming, but rather the amount of screams echoing in the forests. If you think saving the planet is a difficult task, try adding a pack of werewolves to the equation and watch the magic happen! It's as if Gaia's army of good decided to use the "Help Thy Neighbor or Get Their Heads Roughly" methodology. Werewolves are, without a doubt, the pinnacle of evolution, if you consider that evolution got so bored that it decided to spice it up with fur, sharp claws and the ability to demand respect while biting the face of the guy who was cutting down the tree. We can compare them to those environmental activists who, after a good cup of organic coffee, put on a "Save the Turtle" t-shirt and think they're ready to face a tractor. The difference? The werewolves will probably snarl at the tractor and, with an immortal attack, transform the machinery into an elegant deer statuette. If you think condominium meetings are unbearable, try to imagine werewolves arguing about paper waste at their full moon celebration rituals. They gather with an intellectual tone, like a group of distinguished philosophers discussing whether Jesus’ sandals were vegan. “Oh, sure, the conscious use of recycled paper is important, but have you ever thought about the environmental impact of tearing a logger’s face off with your own teeth?” A debate of ideas that would make Aristotle cry tears of joy, while the earth trembles in terror. And let’s not forget the nostalgic side of the issue: these creatures are actually the answer you didn’t know you needed to your endangered plant problem. Want to give them a “don’t touch my forest” kind of protection? Is there anything more effective than a werewolf that will make you never look at the forest the same way again – let alone go into it to collect mushrooms? Why bother with all this “#LoveMySpoiledPets” hashtagging when you can just adopt a werewolf and laugh at the ninjas of destruction trying to threaten your pack? In conclusion, the real lesson we can learn from werewolves is that when it comes to the survival of the planet, it’s better to risk a few sharp teeth and an extra dose of anger than to sit on the couch watching a documentary about how turtles are having it harder than a marathon runner in an obstacle course. So the next time you hear a howl in the moonlight, remember: it’s just a werewolf concerned about the environment, wondering where the last tree he loved to mark his territory went! Which, by the way, is a fantastic metaphor for our fight against planetary destruction: that, just like a werewolf, we must be fierce, hairy, and willing to rip the face off anyone who dares to threaten the living Earth!

So basically this is Maze Runner, mixed with Kill the Sun mixed with some random novels I've read and games I've played, so Enjoy! Also this is my first time writing so I'm sure it'll be filled with plot holes and inconsistency and stuff, but I hope you'll enjoy it regardless. . . . Also although I posted it, Im still fixing a lot of errors and spelling mistakes and stuff, I was kinda nervous that I would somehow delete all of them if I didnt post the chapters, sorry.

There is always the desire to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, and to reach the apex of everything. To some, they believe that talent determines everything. To others, hard work is more important. For many to reach the apex of any field a combination of talent, hard work, and determination is needed. In a world where powerful demons, unkillable immortals, and strange monsters ran amok. Where human lives were treated on the same level as ants. Yoze, a young man who had transmigrated from Earth to this dangerous world could only rely on his hard work, strong will, and his cheat, the Second Best System to that makeup for his lack of talent and resources. With his desire to improve his family's life and his ambition to surpass human limits, he set his eyes on passing the Scholar exam as he took his first step toward dominating the world. Whether it was humans, demons, monsters, immortals, or gods they all were within his sights and would soon become a stepping stone for his rise to excellence. "You are a genius of 1000 years. Okay, I'm a genius of 900 years. I'll surpass you in three years." "You are the most talented runner in the world. That's okay, I'm fine with being the second most talented runner but I bet I can surpass you in three months." "Having the most talent doesn't mean anything unless you use it. You are born with talent. I earned it. You are afraid of demons while I cherish seeing every demon." Yoze smiled as he looked at the nine-headed immortal under his feet. "I heard that Immortals can't die. Let's test that rumor." As Yoze advanced on his journey he slowly discovered that there was no supreme power system or logic that this strange world followed. Whether the Spiritual Energy that the demons monopolized, the Crystal Energy that could create entire worlds, or the Inner Vigor that humans held close to their hearts. Yoze was determined to become the master of them all!
