Modern Thriller

Li Huowang is a man caught between two worlds-one a sterile modern psychiatric ward where he's labeled delusional, the other a grotesque ancient realm dominated by dark Daoist alchemy and a tyrannical master obsessed with immortality. In the modern world, Li struggles with his sanity, haunted by vivid hallucinations and tethered to reality only by a childhood friend's unwavering support. But when the ancient world calls, he is forced into a harrowing existence, serving as an unwilling apprentice to Dan Yangzi, a ruthless master who uses human lives to fuel his monstrous experiments. As the lines between the two worlds blur, Li faces impossible choices. Is the ancient realm a figment of his damaged mind, or is the hospital an illusion designed to shield him from unspeakable truths? Torn between rebellion and self-preservation, Li must unravel the mysteries of his existence while confronting the horrors of both realities. With morally complex characters, a richly atmospheric setting, and a gripping dual-reality narrative, Illusive Realms: The Dao of Madness challenges readers to question the boundaries of sanity and the price of freedom. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy and psychological thrillers, this is a haunting tale of survival, identity, and the indomitable human spirit.

Most people already have their life planned out. Or at least they feel they do. They already have an idea of what and who they are going to become, and how they are going to go about achieving it. But more often than not, life always has an entirely different thing planned. And sometimes, it's something better. This was the same for James. As someone who already had his life planned out, with the best and the safest plan on how to go about it, he knew what had to be done. All he just wanted was to graduate and become a world renowned mechanical engineer. And this was why he studied hard and worked extremely hard at his part time job. Even with how life kept tossing him around and making it seem like he was the only one not moving forward while others were, he was still focused on his dreams. The truth is that he also wants to be like his peers. He also wants to drive the flashy cars the rich drives. He wants to travel the world and experience the best that life has to offer, but all that comes at a cost—money. Something that has eluded him even after busting his ass, working for three years. To make things worse, the job market wasn't looking too good either. It was looking like the two years he has already spent in the university and the two more years he's going to spend are going to be a waste. And there was very little he could do about it. Coming back to his apartment one night, after getting fired from his part time job, James just wanted to give up on everything. But no matter how much he wanted to do that, he couldn't. He has people he wants to make proud. Frustrated with everything and even more with himself, James went to bed after hoping that the next day would be different. But he had no idea that his wish would come true. Out of nowhere, James got a system and one with a feature that fixed the biggest problem he has.

After losing her job, Wan Qian unexpectedly inherits the estate of an distant great-uncle—a remote countryside farm. She originally thought she could enjoy a leisurely rural life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. However, she soon discovers that the farm is unbelievably strange—animals on the farm produce crops, whispers rustle from the wardrobe at midnight, and what flows from the faucet is not clear water but thick red liquid… Even more absurd, interns who come to work always mysteriously "resign," leaving only a calm and composed butler who hands her a new labor contract with a smile every day. Faced with all this, Wan Qian optimistically rolls up her sleeves: "Alright then, running a farm isn't easy. I have to find a way to turn a profit." So, using outrageous workplace logic and farm management experience, she tames an eldritch god into a guard dog, hires a midnight butcher as a chef, and even enlists a faceless girl as an accountant… While others tremble in fear, she leisurely patrols the farmland: "No slacking off! If performance targets aren't met, your wages will be docked." Thus, a farm where "humans and ghosts and monsters" beings coexist is officially open for business! —Horror? Not at all. With the right job assignments, every ghost and monster can be a model corporate worker!

Moe, a recent graduate from a prestigious university, is on the hunt for a job when fate takes an unexpected turn. After acing a crucial interview, he finds himself in a life-altering accident that transmigrated him into a Fantasy world. After transmigration, instead of gaining extraordinary powers, he awakens in the body of Arthur Jr., an incompetent king ruling over the small kingdom of Keldoria. In a realm where magic is commonplace, Arthur Jr. is unable to wield any magic abilities, leaving him at a significant disadvantage. However, armed with the authority of a king and the knowledge of modern society he will transform the small kingdom of Keldoria into a advance nation where technology and magic coexist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Disclaimer------- This is a pure kingdom-building story that emphasizes the economy and technological advancements of a nation rather than magic or the strength of a single individual. This is also a slow-progression story(Slow burn!!!), focusing on governance, development, and strategy. While the pacing may feel slow, I will ensure that each chapter remains engaging and immersive. Readers who prefer fast-paced stories with an overpowered protagonist from the start may find this novel different from their usual preferences. Expect a strong focus on macroeconomics rather than microeconomics, as this story revolves around building and managing an entire kingdom rather than running a single business. The protagonist will not possess overpowered abilities or cheats such as system, but will rely on his intelligence, knowledge, and authority as a ruler to shape his kingdom’s future. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!

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!

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.

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.
