Have you ever experienced a day so bad you just died? Tell me about it. There I was, this scrawny high schooler always on the receiving end of bullying, and then boom, I'm playing hero to this little kid about to be pancake city beneath some wheels. And here's the kicker—I take the hit instead. Talk about instant payback. But instead of coming to in the back of an ambulance or, you know remaining a goner, my eyes pop open to this huge shiny blue moon, some celestial messenger in gleaming gear, and a set of stairs made out of actual starlight. So, it wasn't just bad luck that left me flattened out like a human pancake—I was picked. Chosen by who, you ask? Well, a super spooky mouthless and noseless god of eldraen decided I was the lucky one to get a big fat destiny plopped on me as if it was some group project I never asked for. Turns out, I'm meant to be the "Child of Starlight," the sole individual who's got the chops to take down the Dark Lord Hadeon, who's come back from the dead. And this Hadeon guy? He's not your average Joe wizard; he's the most powerful sorcerer there's ever been. Okay so typically, this is where I'd freak out and bolt. But something's up. Turns out, magic's a real thing. And guess what? I've got it. Not parlor tricks, either. I'm wielding power I never dreamed of..." Okay so here's the sticky part. Hadeon isn't just strong – man, that guy's is also way too tough, and he's got this bunch of followers convinced that reviving him is top-notch. What about me? I used to be the kid nobody noticed in high school, plus I've got this chatty sky-being giving me advice, a realm that's giving me side-eye, and not a single tip on being the brave one. Still, I didn't stick around after kicking the bucket just to watch everything go down the drain. Hadeon's looking for a brawl? Alright, let's have it out. We'll see who's the boss.

Ethan Blackwood is a 20-year-old college student leading a mundane life. While his peers thrive in academics or social circles, Ethan finds solace in the fantastical worlds of horror and fantasy novels. Among his favorites is The Monster, a gripping tale by Roman Schitzwit that he obsessively reads to escape the monotony of his reality. But one fateful night, the lines between fiction and reality blur in the most terrifying way. Creatures from The Monster, grotesque beings of unimaginable horror, begin to manifest in Ethan's world. The air grows heavy with dread as these nightmare-born entities wreak havoc, leaving Ethan questioning his sanity. Ethan’s encounter with one of these creatures—the very monster he read about—is both shocking and fatal. A towering humanoid abomination with writhing tentacles, soulless eyes, and a blood-soaked body ends his life in a brutal attack. Yet as darkness consumes him, Ethan's thoughts are not of fear but regret—regret for the loved ones he couldn't protect. But death is not the end. Ethan awakens in an entirely different world, one that feels just as dangerous as the one he left behind. To his shock, he finds himself in the body of Ren Thorne, a disgraced 19-year-old noble whose name evokes fear and disdain among those around him. This new realm is a land of ancient power, political intrigue, and hidden horrors, where Ren's tarnished reputation casts a long shadow over Ethan's second chance at life. Now, Ethan must unravel the mystery behind his sudden reincarnation while grappling with the burdens of Ren's dark past. As he navigates this treacherous new existence, Ethan begins to uncover unsettling connections between the monsters invading his old world and the dark forces plaguing this one. With danger lurking at every corner and a legacy of infamy weighing him down, Ethan must decide: will he succumb to the darkness around him, or will he seize this second chance to forge a new destiny and face the nightmares that brought him here?

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

The skies are an endless maze of gray. Heavy, foreboding. It's somber monotony casted it's mundane color thoughout the streets of Hermapolis, so shadowed in gray that it's people have objected the outside; accepting the indoors as their haven.  So foreboding, great, and powerful. The city's monolith stands; observing the streets and people. So towering that it remains the only building that touched the clouds. So brutally gray, yet so beautifully honest. Inside, the Red Circle, creeps within. The only government governing Hermapolis. So absolute and dominating, yet so mysterious and ghostly. "Each street is controlled by the Circle, for the Circle. Each man works for the Circle, from the Circle. Yet, so shadowy, they appear so infrequent, so ghastly transparent. That even I doubt the Circle's existance." --- A dystopian novel.

The most powerful and advanced race in the Chaos universe has sent its state-of-the-art research ship into space to search for inhabited planets and, if necessary, colonize them. Years later, on their way back home, their sensors caught a strange energy fluctuation coming from the black hole they passed near.
