In Kaelthorn, a city ruled by whispers and buried history-Kaiser is not just a killer. He is the King of Assassins. Cold, brilliant, and utterly unrepentant, he walks a path of precision and blood. But when a strange sigil scars itself across his chest, Kaiser awakens something ancient within him—an evolving system known as the Path of Remembrance. It doesn’t promise justice. It doesn’t grant mercy. It rewards only one thing: understanding through dominance. As the lines between memory and reality blur, Kaiser must navigate a brutal hierarchy of forgotten powers, deceitful legacies, and inhuman opponents. In a world where everyone hides behind masks, he chooses to be the blade that cuts through illusion. There is no chosen one. No prophecy. Only a man who refuses to kneel.

No one was supposed to go near the construction site. Especially not Miles—the quiet kid who fades into the background and keeps his head down. But when he cuts through the lot one afternoon and finds a locked metal crate humming under a tarp, everything changes. Inside it? Not treasure. Not trash. Something alive. The next day, the area’s fenced off tighter. The school issues a warning. And strangers in hazmat suits start showing up. They call it a Code Orange. But Miles knows one thing: Whatever’s buried under that site… isn’t staying buried.

Unlike in his past life, magic and aura appeared on Earth and allowed everyone to awaken a Class at 16 and become an Awakener. Those who successfully awaken a Class and became an Awakener could take on Otherworld Missions provided by the Will of The Earth, with tasks related to invading the Otherworld. Whether it was to steal a powerful artifact, kill the children of destinies (protagonist of the world), or plunder the world origin, Awakeners from Earth became the notorious “invaders from another world”. When magic and aura had awakened, dimensional gates had also appeared which connected the Otherworld to Earth and it brought occasional invasions. Fortunately, the Earth’s Will reacted quickly and allowed humans to awaken a class and humanity managed to fight back and even invade the Otherworld to further strengthen both themselves and the Earth itself. Ainsworth transmigrated thirty years after the descent of the dimensional gates and the day before the Unified Awakening Ceremony. As a perk for his transmigration, he received the God-Level Choice System, which allowed him to choose the options given to him that would grant corresponding rewards. And with that, he awakened an SSS-rank Class and started his path to avenge his older sister and recover her Divine Eyes of Death Lines from the mysterious otherworld organization that gouged out her eyes!

The pain dulls, fading into numbness, as my body sinks deeper into the freezing grip of the sea. No one’s coming for me. No one ever has. Not a single soul—not even the ones who should have loved me. Especially not them. As the dark waters swallow me whole, a single truth cuts through the cold: this wretched life of mine… it’s finally ending. Then come the memories—those vicious, rotting fragments I’ve tried so hard to bury. They claw their way back, sharp and merciless. *"Why were you even born? If I’d just killed you the moment you came into this world, our lives would’ve been peaceful."* *"You’re going abroad. It’s the only way to protect the company’s reputation. I don’t care what you want. This isn’t a choice."* *"Why do you hate me, Meimei? I always saw you as my sweet little sister. I never hurt you. So why… why would you do this?"* *"If I ever see you near Ningning again—hell, if I even see your shadow—I swear to God, I’ll kill you myself and feed your corpse to the dogs. You hear me? You’re a monster. A monster in human skin."* *"Father, send this filthy bitch away. Abroad. I don’t want Ningning to suffer because of her!"* Their voices echo in my skull like screams trapped in an empty hall. I’m suffocating—not from the water, but from everything they said… everything they never let me forget. And yet, maybe down here, in this silence… I can finally disappear.

When Raavan died mysteriously in prison, the world breathed a sigh of relief. Except Rudra inherited more than just his father’s name.

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek.

But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

In a world where medicine can’t heal everything, a terminally ill teenage girl makes the heartbreaking yet empowering decision to choose dignity over suffering, confronting love, loss, and the right to die on her own terms.

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.
