Kafka The Trial

(Warning, rated 18, No Rape)    Harley is a twenty-two year old unwanted daughter of a millionaire businessman, nothing short of a troublemaker to get back at her cruel father. When a risky contract arises between her father and the Billionaire Sylus Jones, she is forced into a trial marriage with Sylus—a man who is both an enemy and, strangely, a charm.   A kind of dislike, hatred, and the need to destroy each other while aware the contract is on the line burns between these two. However, provoking a man like Sylus is probably not the best idea…or the safest. But then again, Harley Legan Eun-kyung has never been good at playing it safe. Things begin to get a lot more complicated when this marriage is unfortunately made public against their initial agreement and plans. Can these two keep in mind that this marriage is nothing short of a facade that will end in two months?  Probably not. But how will they survive this trial marriage when there's nothing to like about each other? When all they do is bicker and fight, hating everything about each other? How will they learn to live with each other? And how will they learn to deal with the burning desire—the flickering need, that had ignited between the two of them, one that proved hard to overlook?  Each is what the other desires. But each is also what the other hates.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might are "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others are "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

In a realm where mortals can ascend to divinity through trials and rituals, only those who bear the Godmark have the potential to unlock ancient powers long forsaken by time. The lost gods who once ruled these lands have left behind only echoes of their might, waiting to be reawakened by those brave enough to seek them out. Young Kaelan never wanted to bear the Godmark or the responsibility that came with it. But when he is chosen by the seal of an ancient deity, he finds himself bound to a forgotten path of trials—one that leads through realms of earth, water, fire, air, and spirit. With every trial he overcomes, Kaelan gains new powers, bringing him closer to the lost gods and deeper into the mysteries of a realm shattered by divine wars. Yet Kaelan is not alone in his pursuit. Others crave the power of ascension, and shadows from the past linger, wielding the remnants of the gods’ might and secrets. As Kaelan steps further into the Trials of the Lost Realm, he discovers that the strength he seeks comes at a price, one that tests not only his courage but his faith and the very essence of his soul. Will Kaelan fulfill his destiny and unlock the powers of a god, or will the weight of forgotten legacies and ancient powers prove too great?

He’s a genius who’s saved his father’s empire more times than anyone will admit, yet his intelligence has become his curse, chaining him to a loveless home and a relentless life. When he learns of a phenomenon known as The Simulation—a place where people disappear into an alternate reality of powers, danger, and epic quests—he’s drawn to it like a moth to flame. But the Simulation isn’t what Jamie expected. He enters as “Ghost,” a critically injured figure with no memories, no allies, and a fractured past. Equipped with a mysterious “Deck of Cards” skill, he’s able to toggle between roles—Extra, Villain, and the greyed out Protagonist. Each card grants him a persona with unique powers and risks, but swapping between them exacts a heavy toll on his body and mind. Forced to start as the weakest player in a ruthless prison world, Jamie must use his wits and courage to survive against those who’d see him fail. In this new world, he’ll uncover secrets, make dangerous allies, and unlock powers that will take him far beyond anything he’s known. To survive, Jamie will need to outplay scheming npcs, merciless factions, and his own dark legacy as he unravels the mystery of “Ghost”—and the truth of his own soul. But in the Simulation, there’s one rule above all: If you die here, you die in real life. The deeper he dives, the more he realizes this is his only chance at freedom… and his greatest gamble yet.

Anonymous Invitation. High-Stakes Escape. Amidst financial ruin and parental conflict, Raya Carson receives a cryptic invite to the prestigious Ackerman bridal contest. Will she seize this chance to escape her suffocating life or remain trapped?

In a world transformed nearly two decades ago by the intervention of ancient gods, Kwame, a young Ghanaian with a passion for detective novels and a knack for disappearing into the background, is thrust into a deadly series of trials. The gods of various pantheons have bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, known as Rankers, to prepare them for a coming war against creatures from other dimensions. These creatures will emerge through mysterious gates, and only those who ascend through the trials can hope to protect their world. Kwame, chosen by the trickster god Anansi, finds himself in a web of fate far more complex than he ever imagined. His powers aren’t those of brute strength, but of deception, illusion, and fate-weaving. As he navigates the dangerous trials, Kwame must learn to master his abilities, outsmart powerful guardians, and understand the deeper connection he shares with the fabric of reality itself. With each step forward, Kwame uncovers a larger mystery: the gates he and others are being prepared to face are more than just doorways—they are tied to an ancient threat that could wipe out entire worlds. The trials are not only about survival, but about understanding the web of fate that binds all living things. Kwame’s power to manipulate these threads will determine not just his fate, but the fate of his world. However, Kwame is not the only one navigating the trials, and not everyone chosen by the gods seeks to protect their world. As alliances shift and enemies emerge, Kwame must decide whether he can trust those around him, or if his journey will lead him down a darker path, one of betrayal, power, and sacrifice. With 1300 chapters planned, "Weaving Shadows" explores Kwame’s growth from a quiet, unremarkable young man to a powerful figure capable of shaping destiny itself. Along the way, he will face trials of wit, fight powerful beings, and learn the true meaning of power—not just to wield it, but to understand the delicate balance of trickery, fate, and responsibility. As the gates begin to open, Kwame’s choices will determine whether his world stands or falls. And with each new challenge, he must face not only the monsters lurking beyond the gates, but the shadows within himself.
