When a private video of their most intimate moment leaked, Dara and Sethya's love shattered. The scandal drove them apart, leaving Dara in ruins. His mother, unable to bear the shame, ended her own life. Grief-stricken and drowning in despair, Dara made a chilling decision: to join her in death. But just as the darkness closed in, the shrill ring of a phone pierced the silence—and everything began to change.

The cruelest part of time is that it never waits for anyone—but somehow, Johnathan Liang hadn’t changed at all. Same sharp gaze, same unreadable expression. Same man who once shattered me without a second thought. I met his eyes, and for a moment, I wondered if he saw it—the wreckage he left behind, the girl who once begged for his love. But that girl was long gone. So, I smiled. Easy, effortless, like I had never bled for him. I watched his jaw tighten, his fingers curl ever so slightly. He sensed it, didn’t he? The lie beneath my calm. The forgiveness that wasn’t real. Because I had moved on. I had won. So, why did seeing him still feel like losing? ---- I knew she’d changed the second I laid eyes on her—because for the first time, I wasn’t sure if I hated her or wanted to know what had made her so untouchable. One thing was certain, I had not chosen her in the past, I would not want to. Elena Zhao was no longer the reckless, desperate girl who once threw herself at my feet, blind to the fact that I would never choose her. In-fact she was calm and poised--too calm and too poised that it irritated me. I would have been a fool to neglect the resent that lingered beneath her stare despite her small smile. Love was not something that made sense to me anymore, especially after what I had lost. There was no reason for her or anyone else to get under my skin. But she bugged me, like an itch creeping my skin.

En el Río Xishui, vivía una familia con el apellido Ruo, cuya suerte era tan desastrosamente mala que parecía que la desgracia poseía sus propias almas. Cuando otras familias tenían cosechas abundantes, la Familia Ruo no cosechaba un solo grano. Las verduras que plantaban eran devoradas por insectos, sus gallinas contraían la peste aviar, sus cerdos la fiebre porcina... A pesar de que el hogar estaba lleno de hombres fuertes, estaban locos, lisiados o ciegos... Lo que podría haber sido una familia de grandes perspectivas se convirtió en la más pobre en un radio de diez millas. Lo único que otros envidiaban de la Familia Ruo era ¡sus florecientes miembros masculinos! La anciana de la Familia Ruo había dado a luz a seis hijos, quienes luego le dieron cuatro nietos. Soñaba día y noche con tener una nieta. Cuando finalmente tuvo un nieto, para su consternación, el niño era mentalmente discapacitado: con más de tres años, todavía no podía hablar ni caminar, ni siquiera podía comer o aliviarse sin ayuda. ¡Todos pensaban que la Familia Ruo nunca cambiaría su fortuna en esta vida! Eso fue hasta que el niño de tres años, mentalmente discapacitado, de repente dijo —Mamá... Los cielos comenzaron a cambiar. El mundo empezó a volverse misterioso. En el patio de la Familia Ruo, los caquis maduraron de la noche a la mañana. Las verduras en los campos, casi devoradas por los insectos, se volvieron frondosas y verdes. La gallina vieja que nunca había puesto huevos de repente comenzó a poner... Mientras otros enfrentaban hambrunas, el granero de la Familia Ruo estaba lleno. El hijo mayor ya no estaba loco, el segundo hijo ya no estaba lisiado, el tercer hijo ya no estaba ciego... La anciana de la Familia Ruo, con las manos en las caderas, se reía a carcajadas hacia el cielo —¿Quién dice que mi Xuanbao es un simpleton? ¡Claramente es un tesoro de bendiciones! (Esta es una novela de agricultura con un toque de encanto de hadas, donde la protagonista femenina en una vida anterior era un lirio del día recién despertado que se ha reencarnado como humana.)

She was the perfect daughter, shaping herself into whatever they wanted her to be. A flawless doll. A beautiful mask. She learned every smile, every move, playing her part without a single mistake, because this part of her life wasn’t hers... it was theirs. But not forever. One day, she would break free. No one would control her future or tell her who to become. She would be the one writing her own story. Yet, just as her plans were finally falling into place, everything started to crumble. One problem after another, surprises she never saw coming, and people who kept showing up in her life, no matter how many times she tried to push them away. Her life had always been hard, but these sudden changes pulled her into a storm she never asked for, making her question the very path she thought she was set on. Like a caterpillar fighting to build its cocoon, she is struggling to change. But deep down, she knows that once she breaks free, she will be a butterfly, ready to rise and fly higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice, be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” Currently 7 chapters a week... Another 2 for every 100 power stones mark...

Not every start of a love story makes sense... But, to be having a boyfriend when just the other day you were straight? How was that fair? While Aiden was busy drowning his sorrows away, Philip wanted to break out of the norms. What was supposed to be a one night stand felt like the first night to forever. Was that love at first lust? "It's not perfect but, it's worth your curiosity I promise!" A love from deception can it ever prevail?

Separated between races; dark creatures with dark; light with light. The minimal humans that are left in the world avoid being alone or even going to their college. They fostered one human left without her birth family into the Vincent's household where the mother and daughter treated her like a halfling, which is someone who has no family; anyone who's considered a halfling is treated worse than half-giants. As the human does her daily chores, she hopes to get into Silverleaf Grove Institution; she's proud of her goal but most of the supernatural beings have made her life hell in high school. She only has one acquaintance, a witch called Charlie; Charlie only talked to her when they had class or a project. Being seen with a halfling is considered being a social suicide, let alone a disgrace among their species.

You know, life is short. But it is also more vast than we could ever imagine. We’re all just simply on a ship alone against the waves of a river with no end in sight, and that… Scares us. Stuck in the riptide, we have no choice but to paddle forward. And yet, as humans, we look for a way out. So instead we paddle right and end up down someone else’s river. It’s empty though, cause they did the same thing you did. Once in a while you’ll find some who paddled left instead of right. Or those who desperately try to paddle back and end up nowhere. But you always end up back on your own river. You may be wondering what I’m trying to say here. The point is, nobody will be there to help you steer your own boat, cause everyone has their own boat to steer. Lonely, isn’t it? But, “there is no absolutely desperate situation in this world. There were only people who despair.” A great poet said that. This is a story of a boy who was afraid of despair. A tale of the 8 sins he committed that brought the world to despair in his place. And the three heads of a lone dragon.

A reserved young woman reunites with a childhood friend who has grown into someone both familiar and new. As they share a home, old memories stir, new tensions rise, and unspoken feelings ignite. What sparks will fly between them?

A sweet story recounting her life with her brother and their mission to the stars.

Hello everyone. I'm the creator of the horror short story collection *We Are the Fear*. For me, creating this work is like embarking on an exciting journey to explore the dark corners deep within the human soul. It's also a fantastical adventure of translating the thrilling inspirations surging in my heart into words. For a long time, the horror genre has had an irresistible appeal to me. The unknown and dangers lurking beneath the surface of daily life always stir up my boundless imagination. Many moments in life, whether it's the eerie shadow cast by an ancient building or the sudden strange sounds in the dead of night, can become the sparks for my creation, lighting the fuse of one terrifying story after another. I'm enthusiastic about excavating the most hidden and fragile parts of human nature. In my opinion, the complexity of human nature is an inexhaustible wellspring for horror stories. Everyone has seeds of fear within. It could be the fear of loneliness, the worry about loss, or the awe of unknown forces. I attempt to amplify these emotions in my works, placing them in extreme situations to showcase the diverse reactions of human nature in the face of fear. Each story in *We Are the Fear* is a painstakingly crafted crystallization of horror. I'm dedicated to creating an atmosphere that can make readers' hearts pound and send chills down their spines. Starting with environmental descriptions, I use delicate strokes to sketch out gloomy scenes, enabling readers to feel as if they're on the scene and experience the chilling sensation that rushes towards them. Then, I delve into the characters' inner worlds, depicting their psychological changes when confronted with horror, so that readers can truly empathize with the characters' fear and despair. When it comes to the narrative rhythm, I strive to achieve a proper balance. I artfully set suspense, keeping readers in a state of high tension and curiosity throughout the reading process, eager to uncover the mystery. And at appropriate times, I slow down the pace, giving readers a brief moment of respite while inadvertently planting new foreshadows to prepare for the next onslaught of fear. I hope this book can bring readers an ultimate horror experience. While reading, they can feel the excitement of an adrenaline rush, and after closing the book, they can sink into profound contemplation about human nature and the unknown. *We Are the Fear* is not merely a collection of stories; it's a testament to my love and pursuit of horror literature. I hope it can touch the unique perception of horror deep within each reader's heart.

This isn't your typical romance novel...unless you consider drowning the love of your life as part of the classic rom-com formula. I let my pride take the wheel and oopsies daisies, silly me!

Now, we have to break this curse or we knows how long we'll be stuck here. Weeks? Months? Years? This novel has it all: comedy, mystery, slice of life, revenge (because apparently that’s what happens when you kill someone), and the supernatural (because why not?). The tone can get a bit dark sometimes, but hey, at least the comedy and slice of life stuff will keep you from crying too much.

A cataclysm changes the social order of the world over a century ago creating the divide between classes. In a post apocalyptic world as prejudice as this, Jethro finds that to escape the slums with his girlfriend while on the forgotten path of integrity is for the delusional. To move up in life you have to drink the devils wine and there ain't no wine as sweet as Sugar Mama's. This story will be told from third person perspective when following Jethro but will be first person perspective with other characters. Also contains some sex scenes and supernatural aspects but not the main focus of the story. I'd also like to warn that the woman in question isn't that old nor look it.
