Step into the chilling depths of the human psyche, where fear is not just an emotion, but a tangible, inescapable prison. No Exit: Where Fear Traps You is a collection of unsettling short stories that explore the terrifying reality of being cornered, hunted, and ultimately consumed by your deepest anxieties and darkest secrets.

Trapped by an invisible barrier, a dwindling group of students must unravel the hotel's cryptic past and confront their own fractured unity, as the entity feeds on their fear and discord, driving them to unspeakable acts. Then, in "High School Horror," a group of friends dares to spend a night in their supposedly haunted high school, only to find themselves stalked by a vengeful spirit tied to their own cruel past. As the school's walls twist and shift, and horrifying manifestations force them to relive their complicity, they discover that some debts can only be paid in blood. These and many more tales within this collection will drag you into confined spaces and psychological labyrinths, where the only way out is often deeper in. Can you escape the terror when the very air you breathe, the memories you hold, and the places you thought were safe, become the ultimate trap? In these stories, there is truly... No Exit.

His father—Raavan Varma—was the most feared villain in modern history. A criminal genius, billionaire warlord, and manipulator of nations. When Raavan died mysteriously in prison, the world breathed a sigh of relief. Except Rudra inherited more than just his father’s name. One night, Rudra is nearly assassinated—only to wake up with a sarcastic voice in his head and a chilling message: [Villain Legacy System Activated] “You have inherited 17,000 karmic crimes. Redemption begins now.” Now bound to a strange system that forces him to correct his father’s sins, Rudra must do good... but in villainous ways. Bribe politicians to clean the city.

And all Rudra wants… is peace. In a world where only fear protects the weak, he must become the villain people fear— to do the good no one else dares.

The year is 1238, and while kingdoms flourish and alliances strengthen, ancient forces long thought forgotten are awakening. Achlys, a boy marked by a strange, unexplainable sigil on his face, has always felt like an outsider.

The odds were never in his favor. He faced the impossible, bled for victories no one would remember, and walked paths meant to break men. But Peter doesn’t stop. He moves forward—through ash, through silence, through everything that should have ended him. He carries pain like armor and purpose like fire. Not because he believes in destiny— but because turning back was never an option. This is not a tale of heroes. It is the story of a man who endures. A man who keeps walking... even where gods do not. ___________________________ It’s a story about: - survival without instruction, - stillness that screams, - and what happens when you see too clearly — but too late. If you enjoy: - rich worldbuilding like G3, Tolkien or Sanderson, - atmospheric tension with sudden emotional weight, - characters who observe more than they speak, - or the tone of Shadow of the Colossus, Metro, or The Last of Us... ___________________________ what to expect: - no harem (sorry for some of you) - vulgar language and scenes(text only) - power system simlar to one in SS - rather a long story, but I will try to make it interesting and with unexpected plot twists ___________________________ PS. discord server will be created at 1000 folowers :P
