When 20-year-old gamer Liam is selected to test Elysium, a revolutionary virtual reality game, he expects excitement and adventure. But the moment he opens his eyes, Liam realizes this is no ordinary game. Trapped on an unfamiliar planet alongside four other testers, he must navigate strange landscapes, face dangerous challenges, and unravel the mysteries of Elysium.

Survival becomes the only mission, but with every step forward, the stakes grow higher, and the price of freedom becomes uncertain.

In a world hauntingly reminiscent of our own, the very fabric of reality is violently ripped apart when prehistoric titans—monstrous beings long relegated to the pages of history and legend—emerge from the shadows of time. Towering and primal, these colossal creatures wreak havoc on cities, their thunderous roars reverberating through the remnants of modern civilization as humanity grapples with an unimaginable cataclysm. Yet the chaos is only beginning. As the earth quakes beneath the weight of these ancient giants, something even more profound stirs. The gods of old—primordial forces once revered, feared, and ultimately forgotten—awaken from their millennia-long slumber. Their return is anything but gentle; it is seismic. Their mere presence distorts reality itself, reshaping the world to reflect their ancient dominion. No longer just symbols of myth, these deities walk among the ruins, awe-inspiring and terrifying, their motives shrouded in mystery as they seek to reclaim a world that has long forsaken them. In the midst of this upheaval, one unfortunate man finds himself chosen by one of these gods as a champion. But to truly embody this role, he must prove his worthiness—not just as a servant but as a devoted slave to a mighty lord, navigating a treacherous path that challenges the very essence of his humanity. As he grapples with the weight of his new destiny, he must confront the gods' wrath, the titans' fury, and the lingering question: what does it truly mean to be worthy?

For Jin Jiuchi, this beast in human clothing who was chained by society laws, the appearance of the Nightmare Cycle was akin to a dream come true! Drinking tea with a dismembered bride in a haunted apartment, dancing tango with the evil spirit in the depths of suicide forest, skipping rope with the ancient god in a forgotten civilization… Jin Jiuchi was so happy that he was going crazy! However, when he went crazy, all the players and NPCs in the cycle trembled in fear. *** There was only a beautiful jade doll who had never been afraid of him. Shen Nianzu called out softly, "Jin-ge." Jin Jiuchi, who was happily digging through a rotten corpse's stomach, suddenly dropped everything and zoomed in front of Shen Nianzu with a speed invisible to naked eyes. His eyes were curved into crescents as he asked, "What's wrong, Nian'er? Do you want to join me too?" Shen Nianzu was expressionless as he stared at the bloody man in front of him. Then he suddenly stretched out a hand, palm up. Confused, Jin Jiuchi placed his dirty paw in Shen Nianzu's hand and shook it.

“You must bear a child, Celia. what good is a woman who isn’t a mother? What good is an empty womb?” “Especially when it’s a foreign womb, like yours…” It’s not an easy life when you’re watched month after month, when all the blame is placed at your feet for your young husband having no heir. Celia Devon Tralhamir, Crown Princess of Havietten, waits every month with hope mingled with fear. A child will secure her future. But it will also bind her for life to a husband she neither loves or respects, who refuses to see her abilities. Is that what she wants? Is she content to prioritise security over happiness, and be a wordless decorative vessel all her life? Or is she brave enough to try to forge her own path and seize fulfilment on her own terms? Even in a society that cannot recognise individual brilliance in a mere woman. A sequel to the WEBNOVEL book “Earning the Love of a Princess”, this novel follows another woman born into the Royal House of Devon, trying to fight the confines that threaten to stifle her happiness.

Centuries ago, the fearsome Demon King made a fateful choice: to shatter his immense power into shards and scatter them across the world, vowing to protect the delicate balance between light and shadow. In his final moments, he swore an oath to prevent his return, even if it meant erasing himself from existence. Reborn as Caius Thorne, the youngest son of a noble family, he is a boy haunted by whispers of a life he does not remember and a power he cannot fully control. When dark forces—the Shadowborn—attack his family estate, Caius is forced to unleash his forbidden flames, revealing a side of himself he fears. Cast out by his father, he begins a journey to uncover the truth about his past and stop a rising darkness threatening to unravel the world. Joined by Elara Belmont, his strong-willed betrothed who refuses to be left behind, and a cryptic rogue with glowing silver runes, Caius learns that the shards of the Demon King’s power are more than fragments of strength—they are keys to breaking the veil between realms. Each shard Caius claims strengthens his connection to his former life, but it also risks corrupting him, pushing him closer to the shadow of his past. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked figure leads a faction determined to bring the shards together and resurrect the Demon King. They believe Caius is the catalyst for their plans and will stop at nothing to claim the shards—even if it means destroying the fragile balance of the world. As Caius battles Shadowborn, unravels ancient secrets, and faces trials that test his humanity, he must decide what defines him: the monster he was, or the man he wishes to be. But with every step, the shards whisper to him, pulling him closer to the edge of destruction. The world’s fate hinges on Caius’s choices. Will he wield his power to protect or destroy? And can he resist the pull of the very destiny he swore to escape? The Demon King’s Last Oath is a tale of redemption, power, and the enduring struggle between fate and free will.

I made a story. It was a mess of ideas strung together with hopes and dreams. Wrote about a few thousand words on it, then completely forgot about it to focus on my other works. I never should've added more things to it. Why? I suddenly woke up inside of the story as a nobody that has absolutely nothing useful to survive in this place. Well, at least I know the location of the most important item in the universe that was made by God itself. One small issue though... I need to not get noticed by... all of them...

In The Vault of Nightmares, a group of elite operatives is tasked with infiltrating the mind of one of the world’s most powerful and secretive figures—Billionaire tech mogul, D'Arcy. He has built a fortress inside his own mind, a maze of elaborate defenses meant to protect his darkest secrets. As they navigate his mental labyrinth, each step forward takes them deeper into a web of lies, manipulations, and personal demons that D'Arcy has spent decades hiding from the world. At the heart of the Vault lies D'Arcy's fear of exposure—a fear so deep that he built a prison around it, designed to protect himself from the truth. As the team dives into his subconscious, they are forced to confront their own darkest fears, illusions, and buried truths, as the Vault twists reality, blurring the lines between what is real and what is a construct of D'Arcy’s psyche. Each layer of the Vault reveals more about D'Arcy’s brutal ascent to power and the moral compromises he made along the way, forcing the team to question their own motives and the true cost of stopping him. As the Vault’s defenses grow more aggressive and the line between enemy and ally begins to blur, Eva, the team leader, realizes that their mission is no longer about exposing D'Arcy’s secrets—it’s about surviving the truth of what they’ve uncovered. They must decide whether to bring D'Arcy down at all costs or save him from the very darkness he created. The stakes grow higher as they approach the core of his mind, where the final confrontation will determine the fate of D’Arcy and the team—and the future of the world they’ve sworn to protect.
