--- Zion Jones is a weary police interrogator in Miami’s overwhelmed police department, drowning in paperwork. The weight of unsolved cases and endless reports presses down on him, starkly contrasting the sharp action he craves. Ready to escape the suffocating pressure, he meticulously fills out retirement applications, each stroke of the pen bringing him closer to freedom. As he writes his desired last day, anticipation mixes with trepidation—until a jarring ring shatters the silence. The news hits him like a physical blow: his best friend and partner has been shot during a routine burglary call. The world tilts on its axis, and the mundane paperwork is instantly forgotten. A burning need for justice replaces his desire for peace, rekindling a thirst for action. He’s determined to pursue any lead, willing to shoulder burdens he longed to escape. His next interrogation should be routine: a murder, a suspect, and a suspicious money trail. But as he steps into the room, the air crackles with an unsettling energy. The suspect's demeanor is unnervingly calm, a stark contrast to the fear Zion usually encounters. Chilling laughter echoes in the small room, disrupting the tense silence. As the suspect begins to speak, he reveals intimate details of cold cases—murders stretching back decades—knowledge that seems impossible for him to possess. The specifics are too personal and gruesome to be mere hearsay, suggesting something beyond comprehension. Later, Zion discovers the digital recording is blank, a chilling reminder of the suspect’s uncanny abilities. His report is dismissed, labeled as nonsense, and disbelief washes over him—a frustrating reminder of the system’s limitations. Trying to move on, he finds the suspect's words and laughter lingering in his mind, haunting him. Then, the unthinkable happens: the men he thought securely behind bars start turning up dead, their deaths mirroring the details revealed in the interrogation. Zion finds them in pools of their own blood, the gruesome scenes contrasting sharply with the sterile courtroom environment. Even cold cases, untouched for years, suddenly become active, with victims found in their homes. This resurgence of forgotten crimes sends a wave of déjà vu washing over him, a chilling sense of familiarity that unsettles his grip on reality. He remembers his partner’s death, but a nagging question surfaces: was he ever truly dead? The absence of visual confirmation leaves doubt creeping in, challenging everything Zion thought he knew.

Nach Jahrhunderten der Herrschaft über die Unterwelt mit erschreckender Macht stirbt Lilith in einer epischen Schlacht, nur um in der Menschenwelt wiedergeboren zu werden. Aber anstatt einer großartigen Wiedergeburt als Königin der Dunkelheit wird sie als etwas viel Gewöhnlicheres wiedergeboren - als Sekretärin. Anstatt zu verzweifeln, findet Lilith dieses neue Leben amüsant. Wer würde schließlich vermuten, dass der Teufel selbst einen 9-to-5-Job ausübt? In ihrer neuen Realität angekommen, nimmt Lilith ihre Rolle an, lebt in einer luxuriösen Wohnung und arbeitet fleißig in ihrem Büro. Obwohl ihre teuflischen Instinkte schwer zu unterdrücken sind, ist sie entschlossen, die perfekte Sekretärin zu sein. Aber wenn Menschen sie zu weit treiben, kommt der Teufel in ihr noch zum Vorschein. Als ein Creep im Büro es wagt, sie auf die falsche Weise anzusehen, richtet sie ruhig ihren Blick auf ihn. "Wenn du weiter so starrst, zeige ich dir, wie sich ein gebrochenes Handgelenk anfühlt." Der Mann huscht schnell davon und lässt Lilith mit einem zufriedenen Grinsen zurück. Selbst das reiche, verwöhnte Mädchen aus der Buchhaltung ist nicht sicher vor ihrem Zorn. "Du denkst, du kannst mich herumschubsen, nur weil du Geld hast? Ich habe für weniger ganze Königreiche niedergebrannt. Fordere mich nicht heraus." Sie sagt dies mit einem ruhigen Lächeln, ihre Augen gefährlich funkelnd. Der Tag ging so weiter - Creeps in ihre Schranken weisen, unhöfliche Erbinnen in ihre Schranken weisen und die makellose Sekretärin sein, die sie sein wollte. Aber natürlich hatte ihr Chef - der CEO - ein Auge auf sie geworfen, neugieriger denn je. Und während das gesamte Büro sie vielleicht fürchtete oder sich über sie wunderte, blieb sie selig gleichgültig. Das machte Spaß. Und sie war nicht hier, um irgendjemanden außer sich selbst zu beeindrucken. Wer hätte gedacht, dass es so... interessant sein könnte, Sekretärin zu sein?

A slow-burn slice-of-life LitRPG with alchemy, reluctant heroism, and one overly enthusiastic pugilist. Aiden Hallowcreek wanted a quiet life—tucked away on a mountainside with nothing but bubbling potions, rare herbs, and his tiny water spirit Misty for company.

Updating log-in name to the fully planned 'Li Lin'. Given the current situation, autonomous task B4 is selected."

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

In a place filled with desperation, filth, and deception, survival remains the singular goal for all those who call the slums home. The game was to outlive everyone else, to see who could collect the most scraps and live to see the next day, where a slight shift in stakes was the determining factor between life and death. Rune is no exception to this grim game, but his stakes are higher; he is playing for two. With his sister and himself to care for, keeping hunger at bay for even one person is a struggle, and adding another makes it nearly impossible—a precarious tightrope he often teeters on. Each day, Rune barely manages to evade death, but what happens when the rules of the game shift, when a whole other world of mana, authority, and society suddenly exists? When myths transform into reality, and the legends of the ancients are no longer mere whispers in children's tales? What unfolds when a long-dormant threat creeps into the hearts of all who live?

Transmigrated: Sifu and Demon Fight Over Me is a fast-paced romantic fantasy laced with sharp banter, scandalous flirting, and enough peril to keep you breathless.

Now he’s convinced she’s his and doesn’t hesitate to break boundaries, much to her sifu’s growing frustration. One came from the righteous sect, the other from the demonic one—but when it came to shamelessness, there was no difference. Liu Mo Fei and Zhang Tian seemed to have made it their joint mission to harass Jia Wei Xin to death—one with relentless flirting, the other with reckless kidnapping attempts. But as shadows of betrayal creep closer and hidden enemies emerge, Jia Wei Xin begins to suspect there’s more to her transmigration than meets the eye. Dark secrets from her past—memories she doesn’t even realize are missing—begin to echo through the chaos. A name she doesn’t remember. A promise she once made. And an unknown figure pulling strings behind the scenes, determined to keep her from discovering the truth. I came here to survive. Not to be fought over by a sifu and a demon with too much time and too many abs. (Warning: Highly flirtatious master, aggravatingly smooth demon, lurking villains, and a past that refuses to stay buried.)
