Hokage Funeral

When the port of Franik chokes on briny fog thick with the reek of decay, a witcher pierced through the heart by a pitchfork opens eyes that no longer belong to him—Bai Lang, a 21st-century zoologist, now inhabits this scarred body. Hired by a tavern keeper for three silver coins to dredge up a drowned earl’s bastard, he finds a spoon stamped with royal wax in the corpse’s bloated stomach. As fishing nets haul up indigo cloth fragments from the New World, the gallows creaks under the weight of its seventh “witch,” her charred ankles swaying above the harbor. Twelve letters bearing disparate noble crests steer Bai Lang toward a fractured silver sword’s trail: a sarcophagus in a monastery crypt weeps with a banshee’s lament, a cyclops’ birthmark glows upon a fishergirl’s collarbone in rhythm with the tides, and Crusader curses fester as sentient barnacles devouring sailors in a merchant ship’s belly. Yet the deadliest snare lies in the crown prince’s chambers—a unicorn tapestry woven from twelve bastards’ umbilical cords, every thread stitched with the witchers’ vanishing truth. Shrouded sails pierce the North Sea’s fury as the fabled Isle of Witchers emerges from mythic fog. When pyres of burning witches stain the horizon and the Pope’s dagger presses against a laboring mother’s fevered throat, Bai Lang clutches the final shard of silver and understands: the plague ravaging the Old World is no act of God, but a funeral orchestrated by New World capitalists and Old World theocrats. The last witcher’s blade, once plunged into monstrous hearts, must now carve an epitaph for the devils mankind has birthed—and bury an era in its silver grave.

Years after the end of their friendship and their separation, Mark receives an envelope containing an invitation to attend the funeral of his childhood friend Susan, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances... "From here, everything begins, and from here, everything shall end."

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.

Josh Anderson was once an ordinary boy who only wanted a peaceful life with his mother. But peace was a luxury he could never afford under the rule of his tyrannical father, Marcus Anderson. Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed. After years of enduring Marcus’s abuse, Mary was finally pushed too far—beaten unconscious in front of her sister, Jane Rocky, and her own son. Rushed to the hospital, she never woke up. The news of her death shattered Josh’s world. His mother—his protector, his source of warmth—was gone. And the one responsible? The man who called himself his father. At his mother’s funeral, standing before a crowd of mourners, Josh made a choice that would change his life forever. He was no longer Josh Anderson. That name had died with his mother. From that moment on, he became Josh Rocky, a boy with no room left for love or sympathy. And as Marcus Anderson fled the country to escape justice, Josh vowed that one day, he would hunt him down and make him pay. Ten years later… The once-fragile boy has become a cold, ruthless man—the CEO of Rocky Jewelries Company, one of the most powerful jewelry empires in the country. Feared by employees and competitors alike, Josh Rocky is known as "Sir Grumpy"—a man who fires employees without hesitation, shows no mercy to rivals, and views kindness as a weakness. To him, emotions are nothing but obstacles. Love? It’s a lie. Sympathy? It’s a weakness. Family? It’s a myth. Will Josh remain the ruthless man he’s become, or will the ghosts of his past force him to confront the emotions he buried long ago?

Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps. She didn't have very long to live. The Shen family gradually faced its downfall, and her wedding was delayed again and again. Cui Yun, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a noble and stern man. He was entrusted to look after Shen Hua. Why not just marry her? He thought. Since Shen Hua reincarnated, she had focused all her attention on the embroidery business. She hoped to change her life and regain her former glory. When she heard about Cui Yun's decision to marry her, she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she turned him down with tears in her eyes. "I don't have very long to live. I don't want to waste your time." Cui Yun was very considerate. "It's not a big deal. I know you feel touched, but there's no need to cry. Since you already depend on the Cui family, you might as well just become part of us. After you die from your sickness, I'll even hold a grand funeral for you." Shen Hua felt hopeless. But I'm only pretending to be sick! *** Cui Yun had many younger female cousins. Many of them had confessed their feelings for him, but he turned all of them down nonchalantly. "It's getting late. Please look after yourself." Shen Hua had never met such a clueless man when it came to romance. One night, while she was on her way home, she took a shortcut and passed by the Cui family's courtyard. Cui Yun stopped her. He was standing near the entrance, and his sleeves danced to the wind. "It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"

Ariana had been struggling with her smut novel lately. Her readers had found out her weakness- that she was a virgin with no experience in dating. To overcome her struggle and gain inspiration, she decided to rent a 'little white face' to 'experiment' and study a man's anatomy and physiological reactions. But there was a mistake halfway. She ended up meeting an 'impotent' man who had similar struggles as her, instead of a sultry little white face. **** Cale's body was numbed. He could not lift a finger, but he felt hot all over. The body part that could not rise even in front of a seductive woman was standing little by little. The woman who 'drugged' him approached him with a whip in her hand. She wore a very conservative outfit and looked like she was attending a funeral. Her small face was covered with a veiled black hat. "As I requested, we will perform a BDSM play. It will hurt a bit. I am still inexperienced, but I will provide enough compensation after this task." Cale: "....?" What request? He had never received a request! Ariana could see the horror in Cale's eyes. She tilted her head in wonder. Mr. Flowerboy had previously claimed in the chat he liked BDSM play. Had he entered his role immediately? Amazing. As expected of a pro. Ariana tried to make her expression seem like a dominant master to match Mr. Flowerboy's professionalism. She had to show him that she was serious about it too. "Let's start, Mr. Flowerboy." Cale: !!! Who was the flowerboy?! I am not him! ..... A few weeks later. Instead of reporting the woman who 'drugged' him to the police, Cale shamefully looked for her again for a second session. Ariana: "Why do you want to be tied up and spanked again? Could it be... you are really a masochist?" Cale: ".....I have no choice either." How could he explain that his 'thing' would only work when this woman touched him?

Naruto Uzumaki’s life takes a dramatic turn when he wakes up in the Soul Society, a realm beyond the living, after an unexplained event seemingly ends his existence in Konoha. Confused and disoriented, he discovers that the world he knew is now out of reach, his parents are gone, and the dreams he spent his entire life chasing—like becoming Hokage—no longer matter. Instead, he is faced with a new reality: becoming a Shinigami, a guardian of souls tasked with protecting the living world from dangerous hollows. As Naruto struggles to adapt to the rules and culture of the Soul Society, his fiery personality and rebellious spirit make him both an asset and a liability to his newfound allies. Along the way, he meets an eclectic group of Shinigami, some who see potential in him and others who view him as an outsider. His abilities as a ninja—chakra manipulation, shadow clones, and raw determination—make him a force to be reckoned with, but they also draw the attention of dangerous adversaries in this new world. Naruto begins to uncover secrets about the Soul Society’s leadership, its hidden ties to the living world, and a conspiracy that may connect his arrival to a catastrophic event threatening both realms. Torn between his loyalty to his old life and his evolving role as a Shinigami, Naruto must make difficult choices that challenge his ideals and force him to redefine what it means to protect those he loves. In the climactic final chapters, Naruto faces a devastating truth about his own death and the sacrifice he must make to ensure peace in both worlds. As he steps into his role as a Shinigami fully, he learns that being a hero is not about titles or recognition—it’s about selflessness, even when it means letting go of everything you once held dear.

"Aizen, have you fallen?" Namikaze Minato clutched the bloody sword wound on his waist, looked up at the figure slowly flying into the air, and asked in a deep voice. "Minato, you are so arrogant! No one stood in the sky from the beginning, neither you nor me, not even God." Aizen's indifferent and deep eyes no longer have the tenderness of his former companions, and he only looks down at the devastated Konoha below... At this time, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, was covered in blood, and was unconscious in a coma! Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was slashed by a ferocious wound on his chest, lying on the ground dying, and even the Vajra Ruyi stick transformed by the ape demon was broken in two! And behind them, the bodies of the Konoha Shinobi are even more numerous...

"Hey, what would you do if an apocalypse were to suddenly happen?" Antoine asked. Such a harmless question, a question we didn't know would affect our lives. What exactly would you do if an apocalypse were to suddenly happen? "Oh you are referring to the movie we watched at Bella's right?" Javier asked excitedly, they began sharing ideas on how they'd stock up on food and secure their houses. "Did any of you stop to think what caused the apocalypse?" Melanie asked and they all looked at her "You are talking about stocking up on food, ammunitions, protecting yourselves and all that but what are you protecting yourselves from?" she added. "Is it a virus? Is it a bacteria? Is it a war? Is it Zombies? Is it an invasion?" "Javier, you want to rob a store and load up on electronic gadgets, how long do you think the power will last after you've surrounded yourself with tv screens, laptops and games, do you plan on eating them too?" Luella asked, "Eira you want food, what if the origin of the apocalypse was gotten from a bacteria in the food supply, or the water we drink everyday? How will you defend against that? You want to barrackade yourselves at home, what if it's an airborne infection? Will you stop breathing? What if its evolutionary?" As Luella spoke they all kept quiet till Isabella spoke up "Lance" she called out "Your nose is bleeding" she said, everyone looked to see Lance who was sitting among them bleeding from the nose. "Are you oka-" Nour who wanted to ask suddenly paused when Lance's head exploded. None of us thought we'd find ourselves in this condition, the day started normal, nothing out of the blue or strange happened. "Lance!!!" Nour yelled, she could hear her heartbeat loudly as everyone around her panicked. So why? Why? we asked ourselves, but the actual question we should have asked was HOW? In the span of less than 24 hours the world we knew crumbled, i lost everything that day, i couldn't even attend my mother's funeral, but the funerals after were beyond wild. I still ask myself from time to time, if i were to start again where would i want to be when it all started? At home with family? In church? Saying my last prayers... In a restaurant eating my favourite meal before something bites my face off? Or should i have joined Bella? Six feet under...
