It Ends With Us Lily And Atlas

Lily was the light in his world of shadows. But Yen was never just a husband—he was her captor, her obsession, her undoing. In a world ruled by power and twisted loyalty, their love was always doomed. Where it began. And where it ended.

A resentful ghost that wiped out a whole neighbourhood, a child ghost who wouldn't let his family rest in peace even after death and a female ghost who captures and tortures men to death. These are stories that Atlas initially wrote off as nonsense made up by people to scare themselves, but after that one night he realized just how wrong he was. Beneath the world he knew was another world, one much more treacherous and cruel than the world he was used to. From resentful ghosts that just wanted justice to scumbag ghosts that won't stop their evil even in death and the evil sorcerers that make use of them. Atlas was born a pure blood sorcerer but all of these were kept from him until later in life. Join Atlas as he steps into the paranormal world, coming into contact with everything he once believed couldn't possibly exist.

Lorenzo Atlas is a man who built an empire with iron fists and ice in his veins. At the top of L&A Group of Companies, he’s a ruthless American tycoon feared in boardrooms and worshipped in bedrooms — until dawn comes and another nameless lover disappears from his sheets. For Lorenzo, love is weakness, trust is poison, and softness is a luxury his brutal past never allowed. Then comes Vanic Rov — twenty-one, bright-eyed, fresh out of college with dreams bigger than his fragile paycheck. As Lorenzo’s newly hired secretary, Vanic steps into a world of glass walls and sharp tongues, where one mistake can shatter everything. He’s innocent. Unpolished. Easy prey for a king like Lorenzo. But the more Lorenzo tries to break him — with cruel words, icy indifference, and humiliations that cut to the bone — the more Vanic refuses to shatter. Between the cold hallways and scorching stolen moments, sparks ignite where they shouldn’t: in hushed offices, in reckless confessions, in the secrets Lorenzo swore he’d bury forever. When jealousy, scandal, and the ghost of an ex-lover threaten to ruin what fragile trust they’ve built, Vanic must decide if loving a man like Lorenzo is worth his innocence — and Lorenzo must face the only truth he’s ever feared: that love might be the only empire worth surrendering for. From ruthless office games to moonlit honeymoons in Paris, from raw heartbreak to a family built in unexpected ways — Beneath the Atlas Empire is an erotic, emotional romance about cold kings, soft crowns, and the love that makes them human again.

On her birthday, Lily loses everything — except her curiosity. Upon discovering a secret basement in her house, she finds something she never imagined: a forgotten machine... and perhaps the key to change her destiny. This story will also be published on RoyalRoad.com by the author Lu Kawang.

In a world drowned in endless light, where the very air hums with radiance and the last shadow faded from memory generations ago, one woman dares to dream of the impossible. Erya Sol lives beneath the unblinking gaze of a society where darkness is forbidden, privacy is treason, and the light is both law and prison. The cities blaze with brilliance; oceans shimmer from within; even grief is recorded in the bright archives. In this world of relentless exposure, there is no dusk, no night, no pause. Only the tyranny of the visible. But in the hidden bones of the earth, Erya has forged a secret. A device whispered of in outlawed legends—a dark bulb. A sphere that doesn’t emit, but erases. A creation not of light, but of its absence. And when she dares to activate it, even for a breath, the impossible happens. The light dies. In the perfect silence of that void, something ancient awakens. A presence patient beyond time, waiting beyond the brilliance. Now, hunted by the Assembly, haunted by what she has unleashed, Erya begins a journey to bring night back to the world. But the dark is not empty. And the truth it holds may unmake everything she seeks to save.

They said she died peacefully. That's what they always say, don't they? When someone slips away in a hospital bed - when the machines stop beeping, and the room goes quiet except for the sigh of grief no one dares to release. Peaceful. Like death is ever kind. I was five. Too young to understand why my mother wasn't waking up. Too small to make sense of the nurses whispering in the hallway or the way they looked at me, like I was already a problem they didn't know how to solve. Her name was Rebecca. She was twenty-five. And her blood betrayed her. They said it was cancer. Aggressive. Silent. A thief in the bloodstream. By the time they caught it, it had already taken everything. I was all she had. And when she left, I had no one. No father. No family. Just a name I couldn't pronounce, and a world I didn't belong to. The system chewed me up und spat me out. Foster homes. Group homes. Back and forth like a package No one ordered. Smiles that didn't last. Promises that broke before they were even spoken. Every time someone tried to "fix" me, I'd break first, make sure they knew I was no one's charity case. No one's second chance. Eventually they stopped trying. I got older. Quieter. I stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting instead. Literally. Underground rings don't ask for backstories. Just fists. Blood. And that, at least, I could give them. Then one night, seventeen years into this messy life, someone knocked on my door. A stranger. Two of them, actually. His name was Marcello Mariano, a man I'd only ever heard of in headlines. CEO. Businessman. Untouchable. I knew his face from magazines. I knew his name from rumors. But I didn't know why he'd come for me. Or what kind of danger was following him. All I knew was that everything I thought I knew about my life... Was a lie. And now the weight I never asked for is trying to pull me under. But I won't drown. Not again.

Lorelei Adams finds love at a time she gave up on it , She finally allows herself to fall in love again.

In the fog-choked city of Vullum, death blooms in silence. Lenora is an apothecary wrapped in ritual scars and silk—a masked woman cursed to feel the hearts of others with a single touch. Feared by the living, haunted by forgotten rites, she walks the streets like a myth wearing gloves. When bodies begin appearing with no wounds—only expressions of overwhelming sorrow and spider lilies blooming from their chests—Lenora is forced into an uneasy alliance with Dorian Vale, a cynical investigator with ice-blue eyes and secrets deeper than his sarcasm. Together, they unravel a string of deaths that echo a ritual buried in Lenora’s own past. A past tied to a boy named Cassian. A moon that bled. And a vow whispered by something not quite human. As the city turns against them, and the dead begin to remember, Lenora and Dorian must confront the truth behind the Heartbinder rite—before love becomes the final curse.

And when snow falls heavy, and livestock dies, they look up toward her mountain and murmur fear into flame. One day, a boy climbs the mountain seeking truth — and finds her instead. What begins as curiosity turns to friendship… and then to love. But stories have power, and names are dangerous. When fear takes root in the hearts of the people, even the purest snow cannot escape the fire. This is the tale of a girl mistaken for a demon.

Marysol looked up at the sky, dreaming of touching the stars. She lifted her palm to the moon and grasped it. The moon was so small, so delicate, and so beautiful.

She smiled, wishing she could reach a little farther…Her fingertips, as light as porous rocks, reached towards the sky. However, she could not reach. She knew perhaps she would never reach. But it was enough to dream, right? Dreaming would only be enough…enough until she realized that people had already been to the moon before.

【Post-Apocalyptic Mecha + Cosmic Horror & Intrigue + Superpower Evolution + Factional Politics】 Kai Shen , a new recruit deemed an "anomaly" by the Federation due to his inability to perceive "color," was classified as a potential threat and high-value experimental subject. He narrowly survived his first brutal battle, which nearly wiped out his elite squad. Then, a secret order from the Federation's highest authorities thrust him into an even more perilous unknown realm alongside a mysterious lone hunter whose identity remains shrouded in mystery.

Federal High Command (a certain puppet master): “Impossible! He is merely an ‘anomaly’ sample, a ‘defective product.’ How could he sever the causal prison of the ‘Mirror Image’?” Peisu La: “I have observed the fall of countless ‘variables.’ But you... seem to be the first to find the meaning of your own ‘existence’ before being completely ‘formatted.’” “The true source of power of that 'colorless core' that can devour, analyze, and even reconstruct everything—does it point toward the 'apocalypse' that destroys everything, or... the 'origin' that creates the future?”
