She asked for his help. She never said she wasn’t human. Feared across the seas, Captain Sawyer "Ironhook" Maddox has built his name on blood, betrayal, and an iron will. He doesn't believe in myths. He doesn't believe in mercy. Until her. A fiery woman with storm-blue eyes boards his ship, begging for his help to rescue her father from the clutches of the Spanish — and to find a treasure cursed by the gods: Sangre Dorada. She becomes the ship’s unlikely heart, earning her place among hardened men and worming her way into the captain’s guarded soul. But when the mission shatters in betrayal, and she’s claimed by the sea, the truth surfaces with her name on it — and it’s not what he believed. She’s not just a woman. She’s not even entirely mortal. And the curse she carries could either doom them all… or save them. A sweeping tale of salt, blood, and sirens — perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, sea-faring fantasy, and mythical betrayal.

After twenty-five fights, Marcus Dorsey is a footnote—a failed heavyweight with only three wins, a broken jaw, and nothing left to lose. No fans, no sponsors, and no one in his corner except regret. But fate isn’t done with him yet. The night Marcus hits the canvas for what should be the last time, he wakes to a world that feels like an old bruise—familiar, but painfully different. He’s sixteen again, standing in the battered ring of his youth, with his dreams and body reset to zero. And then he hears it—a cold, mechanical voice in his mind: ──── SYSTEM INTERFACE ──────── Regression complete. Welcome, Marcus Dorsey, to the Boxing System. Your progression will be tracked. All actions recorded. Failure to train will result in penalty. Your second chance starts now. ────────────────────── With his memories intact, a lifetime of scars to guide him, and a system that rewards real sweat—not easy wins—Marcus has one shot to fight for more than survival. This time, he’s not just punching for the next round. He’s fighting for redemption.

He was not a human since no human is aware of himself even before his birth. He has no blood and no heart, but emotions? He does have feelings, but can he express them? Why was he called a Devil's Spawn at his birth? Why did they cut away his arms and a leg? Why did no one ever visit him for years? And why does this emptiness... feels so... just so familiar? Why does the Void feel so... full? Who is he? Or rather... What is he? Countless questions—all left unanswered. This is Ozul Ashfall's Adventure to comprehend his own existence. ______________________________________ Disclaimer: I do not own this cover, and if you are the owner and want me to take it down, please contact me on the discord server: discord.gg/RVBHh4rTJJ

What if the only person who couldn’t remember magic... was the one who wrote it all? In a world where magic is not learned, but remembered from your past life, children undergo the Rite of Remembrance at age 12 to awaken the spells and power they once wielded. The more powerful your past life, the higher your place in the academy — and society. But Ash Veil remembers nothing. No visions. No echoes. No name fragments. He is declared Empty — a failed reincarnation, a disgrace, and is sent to Crownshade Academy only as a joke. The lowest-ranked student in a system that worships inherited memory. Except… Ash isn’t a failure. He’s something worse — or better. > He has no past life because he was never reborn. He is the Original. The forgotten creator of the Codex of All Magic. A soul so powerful the Twelve Archmages shattered and sealed it across time to stop him. Now, as magic collapses under its own repetition, and the “remembered” spells become corrupted, Ash begins creating spells no one has ever seen. Silent spells. Spells without words. Spells that erase other spells. And the world calls it forbidden. Hunted by the memory-bound elite and shadowed by broken ghosts of his past fragments, Ash must master the Empty Spell — a spell that could rewrite the laws of existence. But to do so, he must first survive an academy built to erase him.

He wears no face. He speaks through death, broadcasted to a world too numb to listen. They call him Empty—not a man, but a message carved in blood. Detective Andrew never asked to chase ghosts, but when the bodies fall close to home, silence is no longer an option. Each livestream uncovers a deeper rot, buried beneath uniforms and titles. And in the end, Andrew must confront the question that haunts him: What if the monster the world fears… is the justice it needs?

Everything seemed like it was collapsing. It was as if the entire world had abandoned him. But then, things suddenly changed one day when he was wondering what to do. In front of him, a blue holographic screen suddenly appeared. Together with that, several prompts appeared. [The Daily Box System binding... Binding completed.] [The Daily Box System activating... Activation completed.] [Calculating what the host most requires at the moment... Calculation completed.] [It has been determined that the host has an urgent need for money. The daily boxes will contain money, but the amount will depend on the luck of the host, together with other factors.] [The initial daily box has been activated.] The moment that the final prompt appeared, something that shocked Vincent even more suddenly happened. A glowing box suddenly appeared in front of him, floating. It was just like the holographic screen, but the difference was that this box was actually there when he tried touching it. And after contemplating for a moment, processing all the information that had been suddenly dumped into his mind, he went ahead and opened the box that was in the form of a gift box. [You have received $30,000.] Accompanying this prompt was a message from his bank, informing him that $30,000 had been debited into his account. 'Is this a turn-around?' Vincent suddenly wondered.

In a forgotten manor, where time itself seems to have paused, a lone wanderer uncovers a world of haunting beauty and hidden terrors. As she steps deeper into the decaying estate, she encounters a mysterious woman veiled in a delicate mask, a keeper of secrets long buried. With each room, the manor whispers of its haunted past—ancient rituals, forgotten stories, and a truth that could never be forgotten. But some secrets are better left undisturbed. As the walls close in and the shadows grow darker, the wanderer must decide: will she uncover the truth, or will the manor claim her, as it has claimed so many before?

I was just an ordinary office drone — who would've thought that picking up an old music box would unleash a stunning goddess? She can read minds, rewrite fate, fight like a pro, and even help me win big in stocks and crypto?! From that moment on, my life felt like a cheat code — skyrocketing straight to the top!

"Can someone without a heart still live?" In Linh Khư, the world itself is a wound in the heavens - torn, scarred, and alive with ancient power. Four continents rule the outer lands: empires of immortals, warring sects, oceanic isles, and beast-ruled wilderness. At their center lies a vast, cursed region cut off by the impassable Walled Mountain - a land of exiles, warlike tribes, and forgotten gods - the infamous Dry Sea. And at night, no one dares step outside, for the darkness here eat people alive. But everything changes when a heartless stranger appears at Star Fell Lake. He bears no pulse, no warmth - only a question: "Can someone without a heart still live?" In this shattered world where the divine and monstrous walk alike, his arrival may awaken forces buried for eons - or doom what remains of Linh Khư to silence forever.

Riku Kazehaya just wanted a quiet life at his new high school in Kamakura. No drama, no attention—just clean air, late-night jogs, and maybe a vending machine chocolate milk after class. But on Day One, things go off-script: Not only is he seated next to a beautiful gyaru with a sharp tongue and sharper stare—Aika Hoshino—but he also finds out that she’s his new roommate. Courtesy of their scheming dads’ “cozy little arrangement.” Now living under the same roof, with bandages on his fists and secrets under his sleeves, Riku tries to keep his real self boxed away. After all, no one at school knows he’s a boxing prodigy who dropped out of the spotlight. But Aika? She's not so easy to keep out. Gym rat by passion, chaotic by nature, and way too pretty to ignore—she’s got her own questions about this mysterious new guy with tired eyes and a body built like a fighter. Love wasn’t part of the plan. But some feelings don’t stay boxed for long.
