“They're not dead,” “They are alive… watching and laughing from the shadows as we all fall into our coffins.” The Domains had grown weaker, and the Gate of Oblivion had finally collapsed, weaving ancient terrors back into existence. Ripped from their reality, three strangers were plunged into a nightmarish dimension where death was permanent, and survival was an illusion. Every full moon, the Otherworlders were judged with simple but merciless rules—succeed and walk further in hell, fail and be annihilated. ___ Elias Valor, a ruthless hitman for a local mafia, was no stranger to violence, but the dreads of this dimension pushed him beyond insanity as he stumbled against two other anomalies—Lysandra, a sinister healer, and Malachi, a mad prophet. With each mission, they descended deeper into a world where their deadly and mystic skills were both a weapon and a curse. Haunted by their past sins and the forgotten horrors of the dimension, they had to navigate brutal landscapes where survival came at a price too steep to pay. As the lines between reality and nightmare blurred, they faced a dark truth: the greatest threat might not be the dimension, but the darkness they once were. “The clock has stopped—but the true game has not even started.”

I didn't know you wanted to marry me that much." Wait, what? You're the one who forced me to hold the ring, hell, you're even the one who forced me to my knees like this. In this situation, shouldn't I be the one saying thigns like that? "Don't look at me like that, I'm just following your third tenet." Again, what? You're blaming this on me?

From a very young age, he's lived his life under the watchful eyes of unseen beings. They could not physically interfere with his world, but they had ways to make his life hell. Maybe it was by fluke or they wanted to give him a break, but he managed to live a life, free from their scrutinization for 11 years. And just when he thought life could only be better from this point on, he died. In a terrible accident caused by someone he cherished. But orchestrated by those who desired him, or his soul… By sheer luck, he had caught the eye of one of these higher beings. And was blessed with the gift of a second chance. He was transmigrated to another world, the world of a novel he was obsessed with. And it is through this incident he manages to figure out the secrets of his past life, and the lives before that.

To have all you want just because you possessed the power to do so? What if, just what if that helpless soul treated as nothing but an efficient source of entertainment, somehow possessed such power as well? Would they be let off? Yes, after all his whole existence was to create a good show. But why not pay back to his audience in equal measure, and yes, show them all, how to be a proper villain.

"I’m not here to fit in, I’m here to stand out. When the lights are brightest and the pressure’s crushing, that’s when I shine." On the cracked courts of Pinehill, Jaden "Silk" Hunter was a king. His ankle-breaking crossovers, no-look passes, and thunderous dunks made him a streetball legend. But when a scholarship pulls him into the unforgiving world of Ironwood Academy, the country’s most prestigious basketball powerhouse, Jaden learns that talent isn’t enough. At Ironwood, the court is a battlefield, every teammate is a rival, and Coach Grayson Hale rules with an iron fist. The flashy, unpredictable style that made Jaden a legend on the streets is seen as reckless and immature here. His teammates doubt him, his coach benches him, and the media begins to whisper: Is "Silk" all show and no substance? But Jaden isn’t here to play by anyone else’s rules. With his pride on the line and the weight of his hometown’s expectations on his shoulders, he’s determined to prove that style and substance can coexist that you can rewrite the game and still come out on top.

Will Jaden rise to the top, or will the weight of greatness bring him crashing down?

Yan Lidong always thought he would live out a relatively ordinary life, free of trouble. Waking up five years in the future, after the world had been swept by a zombie apocalypse, was certainly not within his expectations. Luckily for him, and unluckily for everyone else, there are still plenty of opportunities to stir up mischief. If they happen to involve the romantic affairs of the nearly omnipotent Lord of the apocalypse, who singlehandedly defeated the zombie king, then so be it. One problem. Yan Lidong might just have an extensive past with the Lord, and the Lord might have been harbouring some rather untoward feelings for many, many years.
