One Lonely Night

LONE SURVIVAL

Kuma, a 29-year-old homebound programmer and self-proclaimed Otaku, lives a predictable life in the 21st century—until he wakes up in a world that defies logic. One moment, he’s binge-watching his favorite show with a bucket of chicken; the next, he’s stranded in a mysterious cave, clad in animal fur, and staring at a younger version of himself in a reflective stream. This isn’t just any wilderness—it’s a surreal, game-like realm where survival is the only rule. A cryptic menu floats before him, listing missions: Find Water. Build Shelter. Hunt an Animal. Survive. But this is no ordinary game. The stakes are life and death, and the rules are unclear. As Kuma ventures into the unknown, he encounters a world both breathtaking and terrifying. A towering, silver-marked mountain lion guards its territory with primal ferocity. Strange, rabbit-like creatures with glowing eyes dart through the shadows. And the forest itself seems alive, whispering secrets he can’t quite grasp. Armed only with his wits and a rudimentary “Analyze” skill, Kuma must adapt quickly. He forages for berries, crafts makeshift weapons, and sets traps, all while battling hunger, exhaustion, and the ever-present threat of predators. But as he delves deeper, he begins to suspect this isn’t just a game—or even a dream. The world feels too real, too deliberate. What is this place? Who brought him here? And why does it feel like the world is testing him? Lone Survival is a gripping tale of resilience, mystery, and survival. With every step, Kuma uncovers more questions than answers, and the line between reality and illusion blurs. Will he unravel the secrets of this strange world, or will he become just another casualty in its unforgiving landscape? Dive into a story where every decision matters, every encounter could be deadly, and the truth is as elusive as the next sunrise. Welcome to Kuma’s nightmare. Welcome to Lone Survival.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Suffering is the instrument of existence, and sin is the melody of life. Now, negative karma is spreading throughout the Omniverse. To bring karma into balance in the cosmos, divine judgment must be bestowed upon every civilization within the Divine Omnistream. On the planet known as Tellus, divine judgment was delivered in SE 20 after a mysterious terrorists organisation attacked across this planet and organised a survival game, forced survivors to participated in meaninglessness killings that increased the negatives karma. Caught in these survival games and Divine Judgement is Einsamer Stern and his friends. Einsamer Stern, an orphan caught in the vortex of relentless survival against both cosmic threats and mortal enemy, seeks allies among regressors, reincarnators, and prophets. He must fight, persevere through all obstacles, and resist the cosmic system that controls his destiny. However, fate has different plans for him, ones that relentlessly attempt to erase his existence from reality itself. To forge his own destiny, defy his fate, and bear the burden of his planet, he must embody both the devil and the savior. From a misunderstood hero to the greatest tyrant in Tellus's history. His ultimate goal? Initially, he just wanted to survived but eventually he had a higher purpose, "To erase humanity sin and suffering and reach the ultimate reality." --------------------------------------------------- Daily Update: 4-7 chapters a week. Chapter length: 1500-3000 words Romance is not the primary focus, but explicit sexual scenes involving other characters that serve the plot can be expected. This story progresses at an intentionally slow pace, as I meticulously detail every fight scene and interaction to immerse the reader deeper into the world. There is no harem! @ALL RIGHT RESERVED @VISAL_WORD_SMITH

A One-Night Stand with consequences

I never imagined I'd fall in love at first sight with a stranger I'd met in a bar, but I was immediately seduced by Julian's green eyes, his magnetic aura and the burning gaze he cast over me. After a crazy night of passion with him, I was already imagining myself living a beautiful love story. The cold look he gave me when I woke up was like taking a cold shower in winter... So that's all it was for him, a one-night stand? I was naive to think that a billionaire CEO would be interested in an ordinary girl like me. Is being pretty enough to retain this golden boy such as Christopher Kole? I don't think so, my goodgirl style must have put him off. I could have recovered easily from this affair but, unfortunately, it left consequences. Dialogues: • "You know I want you, it’s not a secret and I know you want me too " he said his voice filled with a confidence that frightened and exhilarated her at the same time… • "The attraction between us is as strong as it was on the first day. You try to hide it, but I can see it. I see it in the way your eyes blink at me, in the way your breath stops when I get too close.” • "Yes, I want you," she admitted, her voice firm despite the trembling. "But desire is not a sufficient reason to marry you, Julian. What about love?” • “I'm going to marry you but under certain conditions” she says. • "Reeva, you can't take away this attraction between us. I will make you mine and you will love him like the first time we made love". • "Yes, love, I am here to satisfy you”, he said. • "Please," she begged again, her voice barely whispered. "I can't... I can't take it anymore…Come inside me now.” • "There is enough money in this envelope for you to take a taxi home. Last night was fabulous, but not so fabulous that I want to see you again. I'm used to women pretending to be in love with me after a torrid night just because they're hoping to trap me. You're the one who should get the Oscar for Best Actress. • Don't try to come back in a few weeks and tell me you're pregnant, it won't work. I took precautions yesterday.

Secrets of the Lonely

This is a rewrite of the previous novel by the same name. Just re-doing some of the plot because I was pretty unsatisfied with it and restarting was easier than editing entire chapters. - Enno 'I've seen suffering, and these people haven't even witnessed what it truly is. The true face of suffering comes in the form of the ones you trust the most. It lurks underneath your shadows, in your past. Hiding beneath the surface, just waiting to enrapture you. None of these students see it. They don't understand it as I do. It's not as simple as they seem to think. A killer on the loose scares them, but the look of disdain their parents give them after every failed test doesn't even phase them. Really, they should all be worried about what goes on behind closed doors. Aruna's father is a cheater, lying and gambling his way to fame. Takue's mother drowns her sorrows in liquor, attempting to forget her husband's suicide. Ayato's sister sleeps with a different guy every day in a desperate attempt to hold together her failing life. True suffering, the essence of which can't even be looked at in the eyes, hides from them, and they're too scared to even look it in the eyes.' I slammed my journal closed. I couldn't have spaced out for more than a few minutes. Guilt weighs on my mind, but I shove it down nonetheless. Emotions are worthless, set in place by a God that doesn't even care for you. Ahh...I guess school starts soon. Oh well, it'll be at least somewhat interesting, maybe.

Canceled, See: Secrets of the Lonely

The Original title of this Novel was called: "Secrets of the Lonely" however, I am currently in the process of re-writing most of the novel's plot to be quite different. The name of the novel however, will remain the same. You can find another book written by me with this same synopsis and an actual cover. It will say it's the rewrite in the synopsis.
