'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

A 27-year-old journalist from Old Wood Town, Eathen once met a girl named Maria. Time passed, and as they prepared for marriage, a tragedy, "The Old Wood Tragedy", occurred, which led the whole town into misery; half the residents died, and those who survived lost their minds. The only person able to recover was Eathen and the only person nowhere to be found was Maria. For three years, Eathen was in a coma. When he came out of the coma, the first thing that greeted him was a letter, a letter with Maria's name on it. He returned to the Old Wood, the letter asked him to. "The place where it all began shall be the place where it all ends; for every beginning must find its end, and every end gives rise to a new beginning."

“Do you want to know how this works?” he whispered. “Yes!” I gasped in response to his tug on my hair. “I want to know.” “Yes, what?” he asked, causing my mind to swirl with the realization of what he was into. “Yes, sir.

A happy family, a loving girlfriend, good friends, and reliable coworkers. I had all of those. Until I fell into a coma. They registered me as brain dead. I wasn't. I heard everything. I heard my girlfriend and parents unable to wait for me to die. Waiting for them to cash out the insurance. I heard people coming in, none of them wanting to be at my side. Only out of obligation or to get pity. Only one person came before they pulled the pug on my life. The friend that supported me all my life. Creeped me out at times but always just so reliable. "I know they killed you. I'm going to kill them all. Everyone that's hurt you. I don't know who killed you so I'll kill them all. I should have locked you up when I had the chance. Why didn't I? I'll follow you after you die. Once everyone else is dead I'll follow you and I'll be a girl next time. I lock you up. You'll never leave me." Although those words creeped me out I realized that meant he was the only one who cared. I vowed in the next life, who cares if he's a little creepy. He actually cares about me. Then I died, and woke up. 7 years in the past. This time I'll avoid the pain. Hey yandere best friend. I don't need anyone else. *Trigger Warning* Violence, Straight up Torture, Stalking

It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence.

As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld.

Asha thought her marriage to Adam was unbreakable—until, in a moment of rage, he shattered it with three irrevocable words: “Talaq, Talaq, Talaq.” Just like that, her world was ripped apart. Now, as she struggles through the isolation of Iddat, haunted by the loss of the life she thought she’d have, a desperate solution arises—one that will challenge everything she believes. In a bid to undo the damage and return to Adam, Asha must face the controversial practice of Halala: marrying another man before she can be with her first husband again. But fate has a cruel sense of irony, because the man she is forced to marry is none other than Zain—Adam’s best friend. What starts as a ritual bound by obligation soon spirals into a web of unexpected emotions, blurring the lines between love, loyalty, and duty. Caught between two men—one from her past and one from her present—Asha is forced to confront her deepest fears and desires. “His Friend, My Husband” is a provocative and heart-wrenching journey of love, sacrifice, and second chances. How far would you go to rebuild what was broken? And what if, in the process, your heart leads you somewhere you never expected?

In a world of unknown horrors and nightmares, one man walks through it all without purpose, uncovering the various mysteries and unsettling truths hidden from the view of the masses.

[One] The first time she saw him, he was just coming out of the theater, holding a cane, wearing a dark gray overcoat with the hem reaching down to his knees, and his leather shoes were shiny. He was tall and straight. His fingers were long, and his knuckles were large and prominent. So much so that she completely didn't notice his grizzled temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Later, she learned that he had been married three times and his eldest daughter had already married and had children. He is fifty-five years old. He is an old man who could be her father. [Two] "We are not suitable.I am too old." He said with a smile, lit a cigar, and held it lightly between two knuckly fingers. Her eyes couldn't help but wander over him. Although he was over fifty, he had kept his figure very well. His chest muscles were firm and his abdomen was flat. The most crucial thing was that his eyes were full of maturity and wisdom. Unlike some young lads, he could restrain his smile. He could laugh heartily, but no matter how heartily he laughed, there was always an endearing elegance. Being too old is not his fault. She thought it was that she was too young. Men all like young and beautiful girls, but at this moment, in front of him, being young has unexpectedly become her disadvantage. She is deeply self-abased because of her youth. [Three] If they were just two souls, without age. without gender, without identity, completely disconnected from the outside world, then they could indeed fall in love. One soul is qualified to love another soul. However, an old life does not have the qualification to love a young life. One-sentence summary: Little crazy one x Old man Theme: Love can transcend everything.
