Ethereal Subliminal

Book 1 in the planned trilogy The Girl Who Sang to the Engine. In a parallel reality where humanity thrives on Ether-a mysterious energy derived from the alien element Anonium-progress comes at a hidden cost. Unbeknownst to society, their reliance on Ether awakens a cosmic Eldritch machine known only as the Engine, whose cryptic motives remain shrouded in static and whispers. Amid this unraveling world, two high school girls emerge as unlikely players in a cosmic game they don't yet understand. Rachel Harper, captain of her basketball team, discovers she has the ability to manipulate time-but each use leaves behind faint traces of static, distorting her reflection and eroding her sense of self. Her best friend, Emily Voss , foresees fragments of alternate lives-all ending tragically-and fears she's next. Together, they stumble upon clues linking their fates to the Engine, though neither understands why. Haunted P.I.A. agent Elijah Carter arrives in Corwood, Tennessee, tasked with investigating reports of anomalies tied to the town's new reactor. A seasoned tracker with the rare ability to see residual echoes of paranormal events, Elijah quickly realizes he's dealing with something far beyond his usual assignments. Meanwhile, drug lord Dezerea Hernandez floods the streets with Gloom, a substance transforming users into static-ridden husks called Hollows to flush out a threat to humanity. As Rachel grapples with her growing bond to the Engine, she risks losing herself to its cold logic. Meanwhile, Emily battles insomnia and visions of her own deaths, desperate to break free from fate's cruel grip. With the Engine's awakening imminent, humanity stands on the brink of collapse-or rebirth. But can two teenage girls rewrite fate before time runs out? Warning: This book contains violence, psychologically disturbing images, heavy foreshadowing, red herrings, fourth wall breaks, and sexual content.

Update pukul 1 pagi GMT+8 __ Dari dunia apokaliptik, Xu Feng berpindah ke dunia paralel dengan adanya ketiga jenis kelamin. Langit merasa kasihan pada Xu Feng yang berusia 19 tahun yang meninggal saat ia membangunkan kemampuannya di dunia asalnya, jadi ia memulai kehidupan baru sebagai seorang ger. Apa itu ger? Ketiga jenis kelamin, laki-laki yang dapat membuahi wanita dan dibuahi oleh laki-laki. Ada lebih banyak kejutan yang menanti Xu Feng. Tidak hanya membangkitkan kemampuan kayu dari dunianya sebelumnya, dia juga dihadapkan pada pernikahan kontrak yang tidak bisa ia tolak di dunia baru. "Kandunglah anak dari anak saya, dan aku akan memastikan kamu hidup nyaman untuk sisa hidupmu." "Entah kamu dapat melahirkan anak laki-laki untukku atau tidak, aku tidak peduli. Hanya jangan menghalangi jalanku, dan aku akan memastikan kamu tidak kekurangan apa pun." Xu Feng melihat ke arah "ibu mertuanya," lalu kembali ke "suaminya" yang playboy sebelum ia melihat ke ladang subur dan gunung-gunung luasnya. Kehidupan pertanian yang damai sebagai pemilik tanah dengan tuan muda yang manja lebih baik daripada hidup di dunia apokaliptik. Namun, Xu Feng ditransfer ke dunia dengan kultivasi, binatang iblis, dan rahasia tersembunyi, kehidupan pertanian yang sederhana mungkin terlalu banyak untuk diminta. — [Kultivasi, Pertanian, Beberapa pasangan/Throuple, BL, R-18, Anak, HE]

Atualizações às 1 da manhã GMT+8 __ De um mundo apocalíptico, Xu Feng transmigra para um mundo paralelo com um terceiro gênero. Os céus tiveram pena do jovem de 19 anos que morreu ao despertar sua habilidade em seu mundo original, então ele começou uma nova vida como um ger. O que é um ger? O terceiro gênero, um homem que pode engravidar mulheres e ser engravidado por homens. Havia ainda mais surpresas esperando por Xu Feng. Ele não apenas despertou uma habilidade da madeira do seu mundo anterior, mas também se deparou com um casamento por contrato do qual ele não podia recusar no novo mundo. “Carregue o filho do meu filho, e eu garanto que você viverá confortavelmente pelo resto da sua vida.” “Quer você possa dar à luz um filho para mim ou não, eu não me importo. Apenas não atrapalhe, e eu garanto que nada lhe faltará.” Xu Feng olhou para sua “sogra”, em seguida, para o seu “marido” “playboy” antes de olhar para os campos férteis e montanhas vastas. Uma vida pacífica como fazendeiro e senhorio com um jovem mestre mimado era melhor do que viver a vida no apocalipse. Mas Xu Feng foi transportado para um mundo com cultivo, bestas demônio e segredos ocultos; uma simples vida de fazenda talvez fosse pedir demais. — [Cultivo, Agricultura, Múltiplos parceiros/Trisal, BL, R-18, Criança, HE]

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch! It’s a parody, so shut your brains off, toss 'em in the trash, and dive headfirst into this deep, glorious shithole! Don’t come whining to me when you laugh so hard you choke on your own damn tears! --------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**

(Chapters 1 to 40 are being edited right now) (Note: Reading Prologue is not necessary, hence why it's an Auxiliary Chapter) The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it.

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence. This story has a similar setting as Emperor Dominion, I am a True Villain, and Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go. If you enjoy this type of story, then you will enjoy my story. The first 30 chapters or so have many problems story-wise, so please bear with it as I was just beginning as a writer. However, I promise the story gets better afterward.

Ryojin Kurohane, a warrior- in the mortal realm who draws power from the Nexus Abyss- an ethereal convergence point where the four realms(mortal, demon, spirit and god) overlap-is betrayed by his friend. And the Celestial Order cast him into the Nexus Abyss, an eternal void where even gods fear to tread. Instead of perishing, he adapts, absorbing the Abyss .

He is now something beyond gods, beyond mortals-a force of judgment.

King Niklaus Mikaelson, a name that resonated with both fear and reverence across the Mythralian Peninsula, was a figure shrouded in a dark, commanding aura. His reputation as the most ruthless and strongest ruler had been etched into the annals of history through countless conquests and acts of sheer dominance. The Kingdom of Emberlyn, his seat of power, had become a formidable force under his iron-fisted rule, expanding relentlessly as he sought to unite the entire peninsula beneath his banner. Niklaus was a man who wielded authority like a weapon, his charisma a tool for bending others to his will. To the world, he was the epitome of power and allure, the man every woman desired and every rival feared. Yet, beneath his striking exterior and regal bearing lay a darkness as deep and unyielding as the obsidian blade he kept sheathed at his side. In the resplendent Kingdom of Aquarion, where the gentle whispers of the wind and the serene beauty of the landscape paint a portrait of tranquility, Princess Emily Wilson stands as a luminous enigma. As the eldest and middle daughter of King Wilson, Emily is a figure both revered and shrouded in mystery, a living legend whose beauty is spoken of in hushed, reverent tones. Emily’s physical beauty is legendary, though it remains largely unseen by the world beyond her family. Her rare blue eyes, deep and mesmerizing, are said to capture the essence of the sky and the sea, reflecting a depth of emotion and intelligence that transcends mere appearance. Her blonde hair, a cascade of sunlit strands, frames her face with a halo of ethereal light, adding to her mystique. To those who have glimpsed her, Emily is a vision of unparalleled grace, a princess whose beauty is as captivating as it is elusive. Yet, Emily’s allure extends far beyond her physical appearance. She embodies a unique blend of wisdom, strength, and purity, qualities that make her a formidable presence in her kingdom. Her wisdom is profound, her decisions guided by an insight that belies her years. She approaches her role with a sense of purpose and clarity, balancing the weight of her responsibilities with the grace of a true leader.

In a mystical forest bathed in moonlight, an extraordinary young girl named Liuli emerges, reborn into a world of wonder and danger. At just seven or eight years old, she possesses an ethereal beauty: flowing blue hair, delicate features, and a calm strength that belies her tender age. Perched atop a sleek black panther named Xiao Hei, her loyal companion, she journeys through a land shrouded in mystery. Guided by her innate connection to water magic, Liuli discovers the enigmatic Dark Water Pool, a shimmering lake radiating an otherworldly blue light. With grace that defies nature, she walks across its surface, her very presence resonating with the magical energies within. There, she hones her water manipulation skills, drawing strength from the elemental forces that dance and play around her, bonding with them in an almost playful harmony. As dawn breaks and sunlight graces her serene figure, Liuli feels the surge of power within her-a sign she is on the brink of advancing her magical abilities. She returns to her humble forest home, a cozy cave she has transformed into a sanctuary. By day, Xiao Hei hunts for sustenance while Liuli tends to their shared life, crafting order and warmth in their secluded haven. But this peaceful existence masks a deeper destiny. Liuli's quiet strength and growing power hint at a purpose far greater than survival. With every step, she draws closer to unlocking the secrets of her rebirth and the truth about the mysterious forces that tether her to this magical world. A tale of resilience, discovery, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and her panther, The Rebirth of Liuli is a story of magic, courage, and the pursuit of one's destiny.

In the dawn of the UC calendar, the enigmatic city of Terminus shattered the boundaries between realms, birthing an eclectic world where magic intertwines with advanced technology and mythical beings share streets with everyday citizens.

Title: The General’s Forbidden Obsession Overview: In the heart of a war-torn Japan, where power is held by ruthless generals and noble bloodlines teeter on the edge of ruin, one sheltered aristocratic son makes a single, devastating mistake—he steps beyond the walls of his family’s protection. Naïve, docile, and unaware of the world’s dangers, he longs for a taste of freedom, a single night beneath the city’s lantern-lit sky. But beauty like his is a curse, drawing hungry eyes and grasping hands. When a brothel lures him in with promises of wonder, he stumbles into the clutches of men who see him as nothing more than a delicate prize to be claimed. Watching from the shadows is the nation’s most feared general—cold, ruthless, and entirely captivated. At first, he only observes, drawn in by the boy’s ethereal beauty and oblivious innocence. But when another man dares to touch what he has silently claimed, his restraint shatters. With a single command, the general takes him. Not out of mercy, but out of possessive desire. He tells himself it’s only for a night, that he’ll let the boy go. But obsession, once ignited, is a fire that does not burn out. As the aristocratic son’s family desperately searches for him, the general refuses to release his new obsession. And the boy, so naive to the world’s cruelty, doesn’t yet understand—he has just been caged by the most dangerous man in the empire. Will love bloom from possession, or will he remain nothing more than a treasured captive?

In the vastness of existence, where dying stars whisper secrets and forgotten gods slumber beyond the edge of time, the Veil stood as the last barrier between order and oblivion. To most, it was merely a legend—an ethereal shroud separating the known universe from the abyss beyond. But to Kael Veyra, it was the fracture that stole everything. When the Veil collapses, reality begins to unravel. Eldritch entities stir within the rift, their hunger seeping into the fabric of existence. Worlds fracture, time bends, and civilizations crumble under the weight of horrors that should never have been. Amid the chaos, Kael—once a soldier, now a fugitive—embarks on a desperate journey to rescue his sister, Lyra, whose fate is entwined with the very essence of the Veil. But Lyra is more than lost—she is changing. The Veil's collapse has awakened something within her, something ancient and unfathomable. As Kael traverses shattered realms, he is hunted by those who seek to control the Veil’s remnants, worshippers of forgotten deities, and forces that wish to see him unmade. Guided by reluctant allies—a rogue scientist unraveling the mysteries of the Veil, a warrior bound to an oath older than recorded time, and a wanderer bearing scars from a reality no longer his own—Kael must confront entities beyond mortal comprehension. The boundaries between sanity and madness blur as he unravels the Veil’s true purpose. But the deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes: The Veil was never meant to protect reality. It was a prison. And now, something is waking. As Kael’s body and mind twist under the weight of eldritch knowledge, he must make an impossible choice—become more than human to defy an unstoppable cosmic will, or risk losing the last shred of what makes him Kael Veyra. The war for existence has begun. And the Observers are watching.

Ayaan Rakshit had nothing left to lose—or so he thought. With his family destroyed and his sister clinging to life, he had resigned himself to a world devoid of meaning.

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

[ Milestone Reached: Unlocking Chaos Dragon ] [ … Unlocking Dracula] [ … Unlocking Zeus ] [ … Unlocking Demon King of Shadows ] ---- It was a normal day on Earth.

*Clang!* The mask split in half, revealing a face so extraordinary it seemed almost otherworldly. Skin as pale as if it would smudge with the slightest touch, a sharp and elegant nose, perfectly shaped lips. Every feature was as refined as if sculpted by a master artisan, untouched by the passage of time. Once jet-black like the night, the hair had turned as white as the snow-capped mountains of the northern lands. It was still beautiful, but a fragile, ethereal quality had been added, as if the figure might scatter and dissolve into the air at any moment. As the mask fell away, revealing eyes beneath fluttering, slow-blinking lashes, they shone like polished black onyx—noble and luminous. It was a visage so close to a work of art that it seemed a pity only Ye Kang-oh and the sun bore witness to it. However, in the presence of this breathtakingly handsome man, Ye Kang-oh’s expression began to crumble. There was no way he couldn’t recognize that face. Not because it was a beauty that could rival even Song-ok or Ban-ak, but because it belonged to someone who had once been Kang-oh’s protector. "Is it you?" Ye Kang-oh, the youngest disciple of the Black Sky Lord, stood before the man he had once revered and adored. Dan Woo-hyo, the Lord of White Virtue Palace, whom the martial world believed to be missing, was there. "Has it really been you all along?" ------------ I am NOT the author. I'm just translating this novel.
