A World Apart

A Cinderella Story in A Cultivation World

Lee Wooyun had always been a fan of romance fantasy books and films, especially those set in historical times with kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, and the like. His friends were well aware of his obsession and recommended a book that had recently been making waves on social media. The book was titled My Charming Demon Lord. At first, Lee Wooyun was hesitant. Unlike the fantasies he usually read, which were often set in Western historical settings, this one was different. However, his friends assured him he would enjoy it. Not wanting to reject their gift, he decided to give it a try. That night, he found himself unable to put the book down, reading almost the entire thing in one sitting. "Those guys were right! It’s amazing! A Cinderella-like fairytale set in a murim/cultivation world? It’s too good!" He couldn't help but imagine how incredible it would be to take the female lead Han Seo-yoon’s place—starting from such a miserable beginning only to end up in the arms of the surprisingly sweet and gentle demon lord. I wish I could take her place. That night, as he drifted off to sleep, the book he had left open on his desk began to emit a golden glow. The pages flipped backward, returning to the very first chapter, and its contents began to change as well. The title My Charming Demon Lord pulsed with a piercing red light, and before Lee Wooyun could even react, his surroundings shifted. The next morning, instead of waking up wrapped in his expensive velvet duvet—the one he had spent hundreds of dollars on—he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a pile of hay and straw. His back ached horribly, like he had actually slept on a pile of hay and straw. "What in the world…?" he muttered, rubbing his sore muscles. "Where in the hell am I? And why does it smell like cow dung in here?!” *** This is the story of how a fantasy-genre enthusiast ended up inside one of the books he had wished for—without realizing just how dangerous that wish would be. "I guess it’s true what they say: Be careful what you wish for."

A WORLD REBORN

The universe, as we knew it, met a rather undignified end. Not with a whimper, but with the Big Crunch—a cosmic act of divine indigestion that squashed everything back into a primordial, infinitely dense point. From the perspective of Old Man Quasar, a perpetually cynical black hole who relished the ultimate cosmic punchline, to Bartholomew, a ridiculously self-important red giant who absolutely refused to believe it was happening, the universe’s grand finale was, predictably, a complete chaotic mess. But out of that monumental squish, something entirely unexpected happened: a reborn world. This is the story of that rebirth, narrated by the same jaded, gossiping, and perpetually annoyed cosmic entities who witnessed the original cosmic burp and humanity's baffling rise. As the new universe (or perhaps, a vastly condensed, recycled version) begins its peculiar expansion, our celestial observers find themselves grappling with familiar, yet strangely altered, elements. And at the heart of this reborn cosmos lies a familiar blue-green planet, seemingly recreated from the cosmic dust of its former self, with echoes of its most peculiar inhabitants—the carbon-based pests known as humans. "A WORLD REBORN" is a side-splitting, irreverent journey through cosmic cycles, where the universe's most profound collapses lead to its most absurd beginnings. Will this new world, and its potential new inhabitants, learn from the past? Or are they doomed to repeat the same petty squabbles and digital distractions, all while the celestial choir watches on, placing bets on when the next "Big Burp" (or crunch) will inevitably occur? Prepare for a hilarious, existential roller-coaster through the cycles of creation and destruction, where even the end is just another beginning for cosmic chuckles.

Echoes of a Threaded World

Memory fragment loading... He woke up alone. Cold. In a forgotten workshop. Dust thick in the air, silence heavier still. No past. No memory. Just a name he didn’t recognize as his own. And hands that remembered things he could not. Outside, the city of Velrith stood on three fractured pillars: the Crown, the Companies, and the Circles. Bound by fragile mutual deterrence, they smiled through gritted teeth—each holding weapons the others dared not unleash. The Garde watched the streets. The Garde Royale moved in whispers. The Nobility hid behind masks. The Companies behind contracts. And somewhere, untouched and untouchable, the Xenio worked in silence—answering to no one, owing allegiance to no one. In this fragile balance of power—where loyalty was currency and knowledge meant death—his arrival was… unwelcome. He wasn’t meant to exist. And yet, there he stood. Worse still, his body remembered how to survive. How to fight. How to hide. How to kill. Now the factions were listening. Watching. Questioning. Had someone brought him back? Or had he never truly left? Velrith held secrets no one dared speak aloud. And he was about to walk straight into them. The first lie was that no one remembered him. He didn’t know who he was. He didn’t know why he was here. But something had built him to survive. And something else was watching. He was not supposed to wake up. And that, too, was a lie. —LOG INTERRUPTED— Unauthorized recall request detected. Signal rerouting… Processing anomaly… Who are you?

A Thousand Pixels Apart

Synopsis: "A Thousand Pixes Apart" "A Thousand Pixes Apart" is a poignant journey through the digital connections that shape our real lives, and the bittersweet echoes of past relationships. We meet Jiya, a spirited 19-year-old whose virtual world is as vibrant as her real one is shadowed. In the quiet solitude of a hospital waiting room, a personal tragedy unfolds, leaving her reeling. Her escape comes in the form of a popular MMORPG, where she finds solace and laughter in the unlikely companionship of Vivan, a witty and loyal archer. Their in-game adventures are filled with humorous mishaps—Jiya's accidental healing of a "stressed" NPC yak becoming a running gag—and deep, unspoken affection, hinting at a connection that transcends pixels. Years pass, and life takes Jiya on a new trajectory. Now 25 and a burgeoning model, she's more confident and grounded, her gaming days seemingly behind her. A road trip to Manali with her friends Rajiv, Hemali, and Prasad is meant to be a fresh start, a journey toward new experiences. However, a sudden car breakdown on a remote mountain road brings an unexpected encounter. Rescued by two businessmen, Abhijeet and his silent partner, Vivan, Jiya finds herself in the same car with the man who once shared her pixelated dreams. As they travel, casual conversation slowly peels back layers of the past. Vivan, now a successful garage owner, shares his journey of overcoming adversity, unknowingly echoing sentiments and aspirations he once shared with Jiya in their online world. Subtle hints—Manali being a shared dream, Vivan's past as a gamer, and the unspoken recognition in his gaze—build a quiet tension. Jiya, initially oblivious, slowly begins to piece together the fragments of memory. The climax arrives when Vivan, prompted by Hemali, reveals his name, his eyes locking onto Jiya's. The realization hits her with a profound, aching force: the silent, composed man beside them is the Vivan of her past, the loyal gamer she unknowingly let slip away. Tears well up as she grapples with the weight of missed connection and forgotten intimacy. As Vivan's SUV drives away into the night, Jiya is left with the painful truth of what was lost, and the regret of not recognizing him sooner. The story concludes with Vivan's quiet confession to Abhijeet—that he saw Jiya's happiness, and that alone was "enough"—leaving a bittersweet impression of love, loss, and the silent strength of letting go.

Surviving A Women's World

When seventeen-year-old Lucien Haruto Maris — a socially awkward but brilliant prodigy with a mind built for strategy, games, psychology, and war theory — dies in an accident, he opens his eyes in a place far removed from anything he's ever known. He's no longer in his own frail body... but in the muscular, wounded shell of a dying man sprawled in a muddy trench surrounded by the scent of steel and blood. The world around him is medieval — swords, castles, horses, dirt roads, and politics steeped in steel. But something is very wrong. Here, women rule everything. Kings are Queens. Generals are Matriarchs. Knights ride in plate armor with long hair braided in the colors of their house. Men? They are property. Spoils of war. Breeders. Pets. Playthings. Rarely educated, often silenced. Their worth lies between their legs, not between their ears. Worse still: the body Lucien now occupies belongs to a rebel, a once-prized consort of a Duchess who betrayed the crown and paid the price. He should be dead. Instead, Lucien wakes up with a second chance — and in a world stacked entirely against him. Armed with only his genius, his virgin awkwardness,combat experience of his new body and a deep knowledge of human behavior, Lucien must navigate a world where a smile from the wrong woman can be lethal... and a clever lie can buy him power. He'll play the fool, whisper poison in powerful ears, seduce with strategy instead of strength, and build a following of dangerous women who believe they control him. They don’t. They’re playing checkers. Lucien is playing goddamn 5D chess.
