Camera Sweepstakes

In a society obsessed with perfection, the beautiful rise and the flawed disappear. Julian Ash has always looked perfect—idol-worthy smile, flawless form, the kind of face that commands attention. But behind the stage lights and camera flashes is a darker truth: Julian doesn't have a heart. Not really. A machine hums inside his chest, a secret even he doesn't fully understand. As his body begins to fail, Julian and his imperfect idol group push for one last shot at stardom. But the deeper they step into the world of "perfect" idols, the more they uncover about the price of beauty. Behind every symmetrical face and surgically ideal body is a stolen piece of someone else—and a powerful underground network built to harvest those pieces. With time running out and his own body betraying him, Julian discovers that the girl who now holds his real heart was never meant to live—not at his expense. With the help of a rival idol, his fiercely loyal group, and the burning fury of truth, Julian ignites a revolution that threatens to bring down the entire system. He may not have a heart, but he will learn what it means to feel.

Built from Broken Some women are born strong. Others are made — piece by painful piece. From the outside, Alora Jordan is everything the world admires: young, rich, powerful — a symbol of success. But behind the glamor is a story few would believe. Before the boardrooms, designer heels, and flashing cameras, she was a shattered girl battling poverty, betrayal, and a haunting past no one talks about. Left to raise herself in a world that never gave her a chance, Alora clawed her way up — through abusive relationships, failed dreams, endless rejection, and moments so dark they nearly swallowed her whole. But with grit in her soul and fire in her bones, she turned her pain into purpose. This is not just a success story. This is a survival story. A journey of becoming. Of breaking. Of building. Of becoming whole. Built from Broken is a raw, heart-pounding novel about what it truly takes to rise — and how the most powerful women are often the ones no one saw coming.

How generous of you." I rolled my eyes. "Hey babe, I'm not here to kill you, just to casually drink your blood and then gaslight you about it later." "Oh, so you do remember?" Shit. "You're being unreasonable." Unreasonable? Me? "You literally grew fangs and decided to have me as appetizer, now, you managed to stalk me and get my address and I'm the unreasonable one?" I heard him mutter a prayer. "Please, open the door." That sounded like a threat. I didn't like that. "Does garlic work against you?" "I'm not a freaking vampire." "Then what are you?" I yelled. "I promise, I'm not going to bite you. Please, just open the door and hear me out." "You're not going to bite me?" I asked cautiously. "No." "Are you lying?" "…No?" This book focuses on drama for the first half and the supernatural part will be emphasized on the second half.

He was the strongest cultivator in his realm until a black hole ended his final battle. Now he's in a world ruled by Pulse Genes, dungeon guilds, livestreamed raids, and superpowered heroes. Gin Maximus spent over two millennia mastering chi only to wake up in a modern Earth where magic is outdated, power comes from instincts, and no one even knows what cultivation is. Declared an anomaly, he's imprisoned for seven years… until he's released into a world that fights monsters for fame and fortune. But Gin isn't like the others. He doesn't want money, or followers. He wants to understand his limits. Because in this world, power is born from belief and Gin believes in one thing only: “To survive, I must cultivate.” With a Pulse power unlike anything this world has ever seen, a camera crew of misfits, and an obsession with a missing S-Rank hero, Gin sets out to become the strongest once again. Even if he has to punch through every gate and kingdom to do it.

In the year 2025, in a world devastated by a zombie apocalypse, a lone man discovers a camera in an abandoned shelter. Next to it, a simple note reads: “Record your daily life, your battles, the things you’ve seen. After all, talking to someone is better than being alone, isn’t it?” Believing no one is watching, he begins to speak—just to hear his own voice echo back. But what he doesn’t know is this: the footage is somehow being broadcast live… to the year 2015. People in the past begin watching. Some think it’s just an elaborate roleplay, others believe it's real and try to help him. Then, a woman appears in the broadcasts—a doctor. Together, they begin not only surviving, but uncovering the origin of the virus, attempting to reverse the collapse, and maybe… rewrite fate itself. Still, the man remains unaware that countless eyes from another time are silently watching. So, if you were one of those watching... would you really just sit back and do nothing?

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo?

Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation.

They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

But not just any engagement… something believable. Scandal-proof. Strategic. Enter Ava. The fake fiancée. The contract with a live-in clause. One year under one roof. No feelings, no real intimacy, and definitely no falling in love. But rules break. Lines blur. And when the cameras are off, the real game begins. Because Maverick plays dirty. And Ava? She’s done pretending she doesn’t want to lose control.

Ruby was a genius; however, she tragically passed away after falling from the fiftieth floor of her own company's building. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an entirely different world. Have you ever heard about the Ghost World? I'm not referring to the world of deceased individuals, but rather a planet. Ruby was shocked when she woke up in the body of an twenty-year-old girl who was already married and had four ghostly husbands. Unfortunately, these husbands didn't love the original owner, and the original owner treated them poorly. The first husband leaned over with a sly smile on his face and said, "You think you can leave me, pretty wife? Nope! Once my eyes catch what I like, I will get it no matter what." The second husband angrily exclaimed, "I hate you, stupid witch! Don't leave me; your stupid husband loves you." The third husband innocently said, "Wife, I made my special soup for you," and proceeded to show bowls filled with blood. The fourth husband gently raised her chin and said, "Wife, I can't believe that with every passing second, minute, and hour, I'm falling for you even more." The fifth husband, who fell in love with her at first sight, looked at the camera and arrogantly smiled. "I fell in love with someone at first sight! Get ready to grab it; I'm throwing ten thousand gems to celebrate," he declared as the camera panned to a room filled with money and treasures. Ruby : "..." Please, someone, make me dead again.

“You’ll marry me Elena” His voice was ice. “And you’ll wear my ring, sleep in my bed and smile like you love me in front of the cameras”. “And if I don’t?” Elena spat. He leaned closer, breath brushing her lips. “Then your brother dies. And you little dove? I’ll ruin you so slowly you’ll beg for my mercy”. “Fuck you, Damien” she whispered. He smirked. “ oh you will. Every night”. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He destroyed my family and now I wear his ring. Damien Blackwood, billionaire, heartless bastard, and the man I’ve hated since the day my world burned.

I signed the contract and moved into his mansion. And I swore I’d never fall. But Damien doesn’t want a wife. He wants submission. He wants control.

He knows I came to destroy him and he’s been playing me from the start. Now every kiss is a threat. Every touch is a trap. Every night in his bed tears me apart. And when the real enemy steps from the shadows, I’ll have to choose: Betray the man I swore to hate… or lose him forever. Enemies with history. Marriage by blackmail. Lust that could burn empires. This isn’t love. This is war. And the battlefield is his bed.

In a world that's overwhelmed by technology, noise, and a kind of spiritual forgetfulness, a barefoot man in a hoodie wanders through the bustling streets of Mumbai, almost invisible to those around him. His mere presence disrupts the cameras, hushes the chaos, and awakens long-buried memories in the people he encounters. He’s unsure of his own identity, but slowly, the world starts to remember. He is Shiva. The god of transformation, reborn in this age of algorithms. As he stirs to life, so does Anika—a sharp-minded hacker who feels disillusioned with the modern world. Plagued by dreams and an unexplainable connection to the mysterious man in the hoodie, she finds herself pulled into a reality that challenges everything she thought she knew. She’s not merely a bystander in this divine comeback—she is Sati reborn, the goddess who once walked into flames and now must rise from them. But their reunion isn’t a fairy tale. Corporate giant Daman Raut, armed with an AI network known as Project Narak, ignites a global conflict—not with guns, but through manipulation of perception. Truth gets twisted, memories are erased, and divinity is ridiculed. As faith turns into a threat to power, Shiva and Anika must awaken the dormant spirit of humanity—not by conquering the world, but by helping it remember. From the quiet echoes of Kailash to the rebirth of the sacred Ganga, from the cosmic Tandava to the digital battleground, Shiva and Sati spearhead a revolution rooted in stillness, breath, and balance. In the ultimate choice between returning and staying, the flame doesn’t retreat into myth. It transforms into the world.

The screen flickers. The camera turns on. A young hooded man sat on his desk. dim LED lights casting eerie shadows across the room. The man leans in, adjusting the mic with a familiar grin.

Crimson Bloom: Ascend In the final semester before the world starts to die, Aria Solenne lives a life defined by quiet repetition — university lectures she half - listens to, a dusty bookstore that smells like old ink and loneliness, and vivid dreams she can never quite remember when she wakes. But everything shifts the night she locks eyes with Selene Virelle — a former soldier with cold fire in her veins and a gaze that sees straight through the lies Aria doesn’t know she’s telling herself. What Aria doesn’t realize is this: she already died once. In a previous timeline, the Council — the so - called protectors of balance — feared what she was becoming. They killed her before she could awaken. Selene remembers that. She was there, standing too far, running too late. That loss shattered her, until she made a deal with a goddess for a second chance. Now, Selene has been sent back — not just to protect Aria, but to change the ending. This time, Aria isn’t just the girl caught in the storm. She is the storm. Beneath her human exterior lies an ancient bloodline — part vampire, part succubus, part something older. A lineage traced through forgotten gods and sealed in forbidden magic. Her awakening draws the attention of beings who no longer believe in mercy — Variants bred in labs and nightmares, divine predators from broken mythologies, and five very different women bound to her fate by blood, love, or obsession. There’s Nova Caelin, the lightning - born hacker with chaos in her laugh and rebellion in her bones. Iris Vale, a war - hardened photojournalist whose camera lens hides an obsession she can’t speak aloud. Lys Amaranthe, a gentle healer haunted by violence, who would shatter herself to keep Aria whole. Elara Nyx, a fallen pop idol with a velvet voice and a siren’s fire, whose devotion has crossed the line into beautiful madness. And then there’s Athena — goddess of strategy, Aria’s first lover from a fractured dimension, who molded Aria’s strength in secret dreams and gave her blood to awaken her. Trapped by Olympus, Athena still finds cracks in the veil to return, again and again, to the girl she once vowed to make a god. As cities fall and the line between divinity and monstrosity begins to blur, Aria stands at the center of something none of them can control. Desire. Power. Rebirth. The women who surround her are not just allies — they are mirrors to her own evolution, and the weapons she may wield or destroy. This isn’t just the end of the world. This is Aria’s bloom. Crimson for the blood she’ll spill. Bloom for what she’ll become. Together — divine, terrifying, unstoppable.

Chapter Title: Chapter 1: The Whispering Walls --- Chapter Text (Paste This): The storm had not stopped for three nights. In the silence between the thunder, she could hear it again — those faint whispers inside the walls. Helena gripped the edge of her hospital desk, eyes locked on the cracked plaster just above the patient bed. Room 313. No one lasted long in it. St. Delora’s Mental Asylum had been standing since 1892, tucked away beyond the woods outside Black Hollow town. People said it was cursed. Helena didn’t believe in curses. Not until she met Patient 47. He was quiet, pale, and watched the walls like something might crawl out any moment. And every night, at exactly 3:13 a.m., he whispered one thing: “They’re waiting in the house.” When she asked him which house, he simply smiled and said, “The house that listens.” Then he scratched a drawing onto the padded wall. A house. Long windows like eyes. And dozens of ears, carved into the bricks. The next morning, he vanished. The staff blamed it on a clerical error. No one else remembered admitting him. Not even the security cameras showed anything. But Helena had the drawing. And a voice had started whispering to her, too. In her sleep. In her walls. She knew she had to go to the house. The same house from the drawing. The one no one dared talk about. The one that appears in the dreams of madmen. The House of Whispers.

So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

After years of living under flashing lights and screaming fans, popstar Lydia escapes to the countryside, desperate to breathe, to write, to be herself again. No more shows. No more cameras. Just quiet mornings and coffee on the porch. But quiet doesn’t last long. Next door lives Ravi—tall, unreadable, and frustratingly gorgeous. He’s got the looks of a fallen angel and the mood of a stormcloud, with a past he keeps tightly locked away. He barely speaks, barely smiles… and barely notices the popstar living one door over. Which only makes Lydia more curious. As flirtation sparks into tension and secrets begin to surface, Lydia must decide if falling for someone who doesn’t want to be seen… is worth being truly seen for the first time. ————— Check out my Gacha Life version of this story, called All Eyes But Yours: Gacha Life Series!

Unfortunately… Cassian never really seemed to notice Rei at all. From behind his camera, Rei quietly begins to fall—capturing moments of Cassian smiling, exhausted, or simply silent. Until one rainy afternoon, a forgotten umbrella brings them face-to-face. Has Cassian truly never noticed him? Or has he known all along... and just let the feelings hang in the air?
