Neva and Rhett, the two youths have their heart strings attached in love. Interfering their peaceful life circumstances unfolds scattering blades in their romance. Ishmael, with a heart of spikes, he looks to mend the wound, searching and failing for his Neva separated from him. Rays of love and joy filtering through clouds of horror in the world, Neva before him once more. The twisted fate entangling them, reveals the game of sphere as misery burns their soul. Concealed life beyond turning pages—one after another. The tale gathers: sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and weakness, destruction and creation, love and hate. Illusion is where we live; in the Garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusive is serenity; an evermore sanguine of love. Visionary of paradise in the new earth; sows hope deep in the soul. Delusory pleasure of the world; shall bring us burns in the ocean of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of the man, even now bleeding red. The whisper whirls with the dawn of a man. He, who pretends to be the Hero. (The girl who promised to always be together, Forbids him to ever appear, Refusing to recognise him, She disregards all he ever had. Vowing to protect her, He's the terrifying truth she hopes rules lie. Tripping and ripping her, He's the living tragedy looming in on her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth; He's the villain pretending to be a Hero.)

What do you do when the first thing you remember after apparent reincarnation... are the steel bars of the prison coach, driving you off to an exile meant as just a fancy manner of execution? Deprived of all the memories of this world and armed with nothing but high spirits, Theo found himself in the land where mythic-grade beasts reign supreme. Thankfully, a reincarnation wouldn't be complete without a system! And what if his system... HAD SYSTEMS?! "An SSS-Rank beast wants to kill me over some berries? Fine, let me drop a hundred tons worth of stone on its head!" "Trains? Logistics? But do you know what a speeding train does to a body? Or hundreds of bodies, neatly stacked in formations for said trains to run over?!" "It's not a waste of resources, it's a future-proof investment! And I'm too rich to run out of them anyway!" Join in to follow Theo's path from nothing more than a monster's snack to the ruler of an industrial empire... an empire he built the proper way— from the ground up! *** Current Challenge: 100ps - 1 bonus chapter 150ps - 2 bonus chapters 250ps - 4 bonus chapters! ***

What if you had the power to create the ultimate heroes? Zain was nothing. He was just a forgotten nobody whose life was destroyed by reckless superheroes who never looked back. But fate wasn't done with him yet, as one day he awakened a system unlike any other.  It was able to help him create clones, each with their own unique superpowers. A perfect army. A new age of justice. A world without reckless heroes. Clone a powerhouse that could rival the strongest? Easy. Create a strategist that could outthink any villain? Done. Build a team that would change the world? No problem. But every power came with a cost, and Zain learned that the hard way when he created his first superhero clone. The system wasn't what he thought it was and now he's caught in something more dangerous than he ever imagined.

His expression was noxious, that bought me to my knees. It was turbulent, so was difficult to see anything through them. But I saw. I saw. Him. Maybe it was too late but I saw.

Alexander Blackwood had it all—wealth, power, and influence—but the one thing he couldn’t seem to have was a child. For two years, he believed the medical reports that blamed him for the struggle. Meanwhile, his wife, Diana, harboured a devastating secret—she was infertile. And the reports? Falsified, thanks to Dr Joshua, her secret lover. Then came Rose, Diana’s younger sister—beautiful, confident, and utterly irresistible. What started as fleeting temptation spiralled into something forbidden, and soon, Rose was carrying Alex’s child. But Alex wasn’t supposed to be able to conceive… was he? A second opinion shattered the deception—he wasn’t the problem. Digging deeper, he uncovered the real reports. Diana had lied. And now, she was desperate. When bribing Joshua to terminate the pregnancy failed, she turned to something darker—abduction. She had Rose taken, determined to erase the evidence of her betrayal. But Diana underestimated Alex. With the help of Captain Patrick, the search for Rose intensified. Meanwhile, the kidnappers, plagued with guilt, set Rose free. Once safe, Rose exposed everything. The authorities closed in, and Diana was finally caught. But she refused to fall alone. In a desperate move, she exposed Joshua’s crimes, dragging him down with her. Justice was swift. Diana and Joshua faced the consequences of their deception. And as for Alex and Rose? They were free to embrace their future, their love, and the child that was never meant to be.

In a world filled with monsters, demons, cryptids, ghosts, and all sorts of creatures that wish to harm the innocent denizens of Earth, there exists a secret organization known as Sanctum to protect humanity. Once you join Sanctum, you become a Hunter—a skilled individual capable of hunting and defeating the evil entities that seek to disrupt the lives of others. Then there’s Luna, a woman with nowhere to call home and no one to take her in. Always brushed aside and rejected by the world, her life changes forever when she meets Sunny—a troublemaker and delinquent with a knack for finding potential in unexpected places. Together, Sunny and Luna travel the world, meeting new people, growing their team, and striving to become 5-star Hunters. Their ultimate goal? To claim the title of "World's Greatest!"

The main characters on Hot and Cold meet at a moment they least expected, intially they met one another with cold frosty gazes, but could that change? Aeshi (애시) her name means poetic love, but has her heart grown too callus and cold to show it? and Aerin (애린) his name means beloved jade, will the façade he forged from pressure break?

"In the nothingness, a place that both exists and does not exist, a being sits." This void, this paradoxical space, appears to be both real and unreal, a realm where existence and non-existence intertwine, blurring the line between what is and what isn't.

Donovan and Zoephie's relationship is like the four seasons: winter, where life is never within reach, and as they search for it, their loneliness and struggle prolong like Fall. Together, will they reach Spring while racing through Summer?

Camile , a beautiful and young billionaire had her definition of a man as someone who pared with her in terms of wealth, social status, elegance and of course charms and a face that could make any lady weak in the knees. What happens when she meets a man who not only met her so called standards but also was better than any man she could have ever imagined and presumably had treated her like a queen she had so deemed herself…..until they wedded. It turns out that things aren’t as they seem to be as cruel truths begin to unfold… Meanwhile in a world where lives were considered useless and easily disposed of, a short brute, a lanky under class man and presumably a carefree woman with somewhat a languid taste of living pursue the intent of having the ‘’oasis diamond’’ owned by the Bentleys in their possession.

As he searches for answers, he uncovers a terrifying truth—he’s the only one capable of creating an anomaly, a new lifeform that could reshape everything. In his quest to break free from manipulation and claim his true power, Yanwei must experiment, face treachery, and challenge everything he once believed. Will he discover the truth behind his manipulation, or will the forces controlling him destroy him first?
