A Thriller

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Thriller: I Am the Death Knight!

World-Building & Core Concept: A terrifying new game has taken over the world, and humanity has been forced to play. Mysterious forces have invaded, trapping players in a deadly survival game where they must face terrifying ghosts, unravel twisted rules, and risk death at every turn. One wrong move, and it’s game over. The Protagonist's Special Ability: Luca awakens a unique power called "Temptation of the Dead," which boosts his natural charm with ghosts, making them inexplicably drawn to him. This ability flips the traditional horror game on its head. Instead of feeling hunted, Luca begins to develop bizarre, often absurd interactions with the very creatures meant to kill him. Main Plot & Character Dynamics: As Luca's special ability makes him the center of attention for a host of creepy, otherworldly beings, his journey takes a strange turn: A seductive ghost nurse, eager for his help with an "IV," shows an unexpected vulnerability and creates a weird but endearing dynamic. A bloodthirsty vampire countess becomes fixated on Luca’s blood, turning her thirst into a strange form of flirtation. A skinning ghost relentlessly demands he help her complete the “perfect human skin,” leading to hilariously awkward situations. Other ghosts, like a ghost bride and zombie princess, also form twisted and complex relationships with him. Growth & Conflict: Luca evolves from a simple player into the "Doomed Knight," and his partnerships—and emotional entanglements—with ghosts drive the plot forward. In the early chapters, the ghost Lina risks everything to protect him, building a bond of trust. As the story progresses, deeper conflicts emerge, such as power struggles and mysteries tied to the game world’s origins, hinting at darker, more complex forces at play. Style & Highlights: This novel blends horror with comedy, using a light-hearted, humorous tone to defuse the tension of the typical horror game. Luca’s interactions with ghosts—who find him strangely irresistible—provide countless comedic moments. The vampire countess, with her elegance and bloodlust, offers a perfect example of the novel’s unique blend of humor and horror. The character lineup is diverse, with female ghosts featuring both Eastern and Western fantastical elements. For instance, the "Soul in the Painting" combines Chinese fantasy with Western vampire lore, offering a variety of “non-human romance” scenarios that fans of the genre will love. In Conclusion: Thriller: I Am the Death Knight! is a wild ride, full of dark humor, thrilling adventures, and unexpected twists. It’s perfect for fans of horror, romance, and everything in between, offering a fresh take on the genre that’s bound to keep you hooked!

[BL] Thriller Trainee

Author: Wang Ya Genre: Unlimited Flow, Horror, Supernatural Pesulap Zong Jiu yang sudah tidak bernyawa bertransmigrasi ke dalam novel horor dengan alur cerita yang tak terbatas tentang pertunjukan bertahan hidup, menggantikan umpan meriam yang meninggal secara tragis di babak evaluasi pertama. Pertunjukan ini sangat menarik. Dari puluhan ribu orang, hanya seratus orang yang dapat bertahan hidup, dan posisi c (pesaing terkuat) bahkan dapat memperoleh tiket keinginan universal. Kalau orang lain, mereka mungkin akan ketakutan setengah mati. Tak seorang pun menyangka bahwa Zong Jiu tidak hanya tak kenal takut, tetapi juga menimbulkan kehebohan yang sensasional, tanpa malu-malu memamerkan triknya sepanjang jalan. Setelah tipu muslihatnya berhenti, dan hidupnya dapat dianggap aman dan tenteram, ia berakhir dalam persaingan dengan penjahat besar dalam novel tersebut. Hari ini kau berusaha menyerangku, besok aku akan menyerangmu lagi, bolak-balik, itu cukup menyenangkan, heh. Alhasil, meski hanya main-main, suatu kali mereka terbawa suasana dan benar-benar berakhir tidur bersama. Melihat musuh bebuyutan yang menekannya ke tanah, Zong Jiu dengan malas mengangkat pandangannya. "Jika kau ingin membunuhku, bunuh saja aku, jangan bicara omong kosong." Bahkan saat dalam posisi yang kurang menguntungkan, dia tidak menunjukkan sedikit pun rasa takut, dan malah terus memprovokasinya. Orang itu menggunakan jarinya yang sedingin es untuk menelusuri telinganya, dan gerakan menuju aorta tiba-tiba terhenti. “Sayang sekali. Aku sudah berubah pikiran.” — Dulu dia sangat ingin membunuh Zong Jiu secara pribadi. Setiap hari, dia selalu menyesal karena tidak mencungkil dagingnya, mematahkan lehernya sendiri. Namun setelah orang ini jatuh ke tangannya, keinginan lain yang lebih mendesak tumbuh seperti rumput liar. Dibandingkan menang atau kalah, ia lebih suka melihatnya menangis dan terengah-engah, dengan mata merah, memohon belas kasihan.

Thriller Trainee | Pt-Br

O desanimado mágico Zong Jiu transmigrou para dentro de um livro. Ele foi parar em um rascunho de um romance de terror e fluxo infinito, tornando-se o figurante frágil que morria tragicamente na primeira rodada da competição. Esse rascunho era bem interessante: entre dezenas de milhares de pessoas, apenas cem podiam sobreviver, e o mais forte do grupo poderia até ganhar um bilhete de desejo universal. Se fosse outra pessoa, provavelmente ficaria apavorada. Mas ninguém esperava que Zong Jiu, além de não ter medo, ainda conseguisse seguir até o fim, exibindo seus truques descaradamente o tempo todo. Quando ele parava de brincar e sua vida parecia segura, acabava se metendo em uma rivalidade com o grande vilão do romance. Hoje você tenta me pegar, amanhã sou eu quem te pega. Um vai e vem bem divertido, heh. No fim, o que era apenas uma provocação acabou saindo do controle, e os dois realmente terminaram na cama. Olhando para o inimigo que o prensava contra o chão, Zong Jiu ergueu o olhar preguiçosamente. — Se vai me matar, então mata logo. Para de falar besteira. Mesmo em desvantagem, ele não demonstrava medo algum e ainda continuava a provocá-lo. O outro deslizou um dedo gelado por sua orelha, indo em direção à artéria, mas, de repente, parou. — Que pena. Mudei de ideia. Antes, ele ansiava por matar Zong Jiu com as próprias mãos. Todos os dias, se arrependia de não ter arrancado sua carne, de não ter quebrado seu pescoço. Mas agora que finalmente o tinha em suas mãos, um desejo ainda mais urgente crescia dentro dele como ervas daninhas. Mais do que vencer ou perder, ele queria vê-lo chorando e ofegante, com os olhos vermelhos, implorando por misericórdia.
