"I want to understand where everything went wrong.” "I want to know why Sato suddenly turned on me and I want to know why my fiance joined him.” Unfortunately, for the poor fellow, the grim reaper in charge of him was not a man who liked to be troubled and it seemed that nobody had ever taught him how to smile. "Tch- So much extra work! Can't you just pass away in peace?" "..."

Sora Umareta, a 19-year-old, reflects on his life, shaped by complex family dynamics and the betrayal of his father. Once living in a grand mansion with extended family, Sora's life took a dark turn when his father, a bodyguard to the president's wife, brought home a child from an affair, devastating the family. Despite the scandal, Sora’s mother shockingly accepted the baby as her own, but Sora found himself growing increasingly invisible and alienated within his own family. His father’s abusive behavior only intensified Sora's resentment, culminating in a deep hatred for the man who shattered their lives. After a turbulent year marked by the assassination of the president and his son—an event that nearly claimed his father's life—Sora's father disappeared. Days later, his father's lifeless body was found among heaps of trash, sending shockwaves through the family. Yet, while everyone else mourned, Sora felt nothing but numbness, unable to cry for the man he had once wished would die.

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

Love, to her, is an overrated, messy affair, the kind that shatters the peaceful quiet she's built around herself. But lately, her days have started to feel a bit too still, a touch too empty...though she'd never admit it. Change isn't something she's looking for. But her impossibly beautiful neighbor seems to have other plans, shaking up her routine with unexpected visits and unusual requests. It's everything she never wanted, yet somehow, it's already too late to pull back.

In this neighbourhood, everybody lived their lives as if treading on eggshells, all because of one particular household: the Lees. People surnamed Lee were a dime a dozen, but these particular set of Lees were unique. Dysfunctional. The family consisted of four people; the father and breadwinner Lee Do Joon, the delinquent son Lee Hyuk, the top student Lee Gun, and the town's most beautiful girl Lee Yeo Ri. Lee Yeo Ri was regarded as a saving grace, but before anybody knew it, the saving grace was slowly disintegrating from within. Hidden underneath her perfect, angelic smile, was a girl who was slowly being crushed and torn apart.

Elara Cross thought the end of the world would come quietly. But in a world ravaged by unstoppable disasters, grotesque monsters, and bands of desperate survivors, silence is a luxury few can afford. With the knowledge of a secret she can’t remember, Elara finds herself thrust into the center of an apocalyptic nightmare, where every choice could mean the difference between life and death. When she crosses paths with Kael Donovan, a powerful and enigmatic leader with secrets of his own, survival becomes both simpler and infinitely more complicated. But as Elara learns more about the origins of the apocalypse and the forces working in the shadows, it becomes clear that she’s more than just a survivor—she might be the key to ending the nightmare. The catch? Trusting Kael and the hardened allies surrounding her may be more dangerous than facing the apocalypse alone. Love, betrayal, and survival collide as Elara fights not only to survive but to find a reason to live, even as the world collapses around her.

In her previous life, she was schemed against by her stepmother and married into the Jun Wangfu, ultimately forced to swallow gold and die. This time, although she was reborn into the body of the mentally challenged Wen Ningning, it felt like falling into a nest of fortune. The entire Changxin Houfu, filled with male relatives from two generations, adored her like their precious jewel. Who would dare to give her any grievances? Anyone who did would have to face the wrath of her general brother, her princess sister-in-law, and her cunning nephews! However, she now faced two troubles. One was her water bucket-like, chubby physique that was quite an eyesore, but she could use her designed artificial climbing wall to lose weight and strengthen her muscles; the effects were so remarkable that even the Jun Wangfu’s noble heir, Bu Gucheng, and the Eastern Palace’s Crown Prince were significantly attracted to her. But the second trouble was more frustrating: no matter how hard she tried to avoid Bu Gucheng, he always appeared in front of her. Now he even claimed that the two of them were already betrothed. Oh, heavens! She truly didn't want to have anything to do with her past life's fate and her cold-hearted fiancé. Why was this life’s aloof and indifferent man suddenly so clingy and possessive? What was going on?

Paisley was the one who ended her relationship with Aspen, reasoning that she couldn’t see a future in that relationship. And yet, she’s the one who couldn’t move on. No matter how Paisley tried to love someone else, at the end of the day, before she closed her eyes to sleep, the gray eyes of Aspen were still the last thing that she was thinking of. She had already lost count of the times she regretted that she broke up with Aspen, but she had never done anything to make Aspen back. The last time they saw each other was the day they broke up. Not because Aspen didn’t try to win Paisley back, but because Paisley White was the one who did everything to avoid Aspen. Seven years later, after their breakup, Paisley coincidentally meets Aspen in a bar where Paisley’s friend chose to celebrate her birthday. It was supposed to be just a fun night until Paisley pulled Aspen for a kiss as they lay on the bed. It was supposed to be harmless. It was supposed to mean nothing. But because she still had feelings for Aspen, it didn’t become "just nothing", but became everything for her as she fell even deeper into Aspen Harrison. But this time, she was alone. She was falling alone because, unlike Paisley, Aspen managed to move forward and now is in a relationship with someone else.

If anyone were to tell you that a picture is worth a thousand words, you should tell them to shut up. Or, in the very least, slap them in the face with a baseball bat. A picture isn't the same thing as words on a page. At least a picture is interesting; I mean, your eyes gloss over words far more than images, and the more cryptic the image, the longer you look at it. No, a picture is not a mere blurb on a page. A picture is like a movie without motion, or a still portal, an empty doorway, and I'd know that very well. Too well. But I digress. After all, you're reading words on a page for the heck of it. Weirdo. My name is Veridian, and what I'm about to say is going to sound crazy. I'm one of the Wanderers. It sounds insane, I know. I'm only, what, nineteen? And yet, I'm the youngest Wanderer there is. I didn't even realise I was one until the Great Merging happened. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself. I'll go back to when it all started, right after the Merging, and then we can take it slow. After you hear my story, maybe you'll be able to help me get out of here. Just whatever you do, don't tell Uncle Romford. Please.
