Page Turning Thriller

On a fresh midsummer afternoon, embraced by the scent of blossoms floating across his windowsill on the warm, crisp wind, the ill college student Li YueYing passed away without saying goodbye to his hardworking parents. He awoke to Purgatory, where God gave him a mission: Become the villain of this story! Bully the evil 'Protagonist' and teach him the ways of the light! Once you've completed your mission, I'll send you back to see your parents a final time. A system greeted him as he landed in the new world: [ Good morning, Mr. Li YueYing! (*´▽`*) ] The cheery electronic voice echoed through YueYing's head, and his heart grew suspicious. Why would God tell him to do evil? That's when he realized... The System was not God. It was the devil. --- Danmei (Boy's Love), please proceed with caution. Evil System, 1v1, NPC x Forced Villain, 'Protagonist' x System, Happy Ending YueYing thought he found the 'Protagonist.' But when he asked the System for confirmation, he got a mocking laugh in response. [ This isn't bad either, Mr. Li. ] He turned, quaking, to the librarian NPC he'd pushed into a shelf, who stared at him with dangerous eyes.

"F**K! I'm dead!" That was the first word I muttered after regaining my memories from Earth. Reincarnating into a world of cultivation should’ve been a blessing. Adventure, immortality, power—what’s not to love? But then I remembered what my family did. My sister just broke off an engagement with a crippled young master—definitely a future protagonist. My mother ripped a Dao Bone from my cousin and gave it to me—guaranteed future revenge arc. And me? I’m already a third-rate villain: bullying weaklings and flaunting my Bai Clan name. Worst part? Despite the Dao Bone, I’m still trash at cultivation. My only hope? The System... which I’ve had for years. “I just never realized... It was in English!”

Between the Pages In the quiet corners of a small bookstore, a boy and a girl cross paths among the worn pages of forgotten stories. He’s a dreamer, searching for an escape. She’s a mystery, drawn to the books as if they hold a secret only she can read.

But the closer he gets, the more he realizes that some stories don’t end the way you expect. Because the girl he’s falling for might not be able to stay. And the truth waiting between the pages will change everything.

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!

Rane was the cherished young miss of the William family, but as fate would have it, their affection deeply favoured her adopted sister. The reason was simple, as children Genna and Rane were switched at birth. Rane had lived in the slums while Genna was raised by the Williams family. By the time the Williams family found her their ties with Genna had already become too tight. They couldn't accept her. Haunted by a tumultuous past that saw her wandering the unforgiving streets, Rane had developed a quiet, fragile demeanour that resembled the calm before a storm. The scars of her past etched into her soul made her reluctant to defend herself, even when Genna—sometimes out of jealousy—slandered her unfairly. Rane often faded into the background, a silent observer in her own life, but this only stoked the fires of resentment among her siblings, who labelled her as spineless and malicious. The relentless bullying and merciless ridicule she faced took their toll, leading her down a dark spiral into depression. Friends, teachers, and family dismissed her pain, assuming she was merely feigning weakness, leaving her to suffer in silence. Instead of receiving the support she needed, Rane found herself trapped in a vicious cycle of mistreatment that deepened her despair. Only her godmother, Jenna, seemed to grasp the extent of Rane’s anguish. By the time Jenna intervened, attempting to rescue her from the suffocating grasp of her adoptive family, Rane had become a mere shadow of her former self. The vibrant spark of life within her had dimmed, extinguished by the burdens she carried. Her will to fight, to change her circumstances, slowly ebbed away, mirroring her physical decline. Ultimately, she succumbed to the weight of her suffering, leaving this world with one solitary wish: she wanted to be strong so strong that no one would be able to take advantage of her.

Shaun’s life was already in free-fall: fired from a suspiciously shady job, drowning his sorrows in questionable alcohol, and wrapping things up with a classic car crash. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, decided this wasn’t rock bottom—nope, Shaun was getting reincarnated. But not as a hero. Not even as a sidekick. Nope, Shaun wakes up as **Shaun** (no, not a typo)—a tragic background extra from a fantasy novel. You know, the kind of character whose job is to exist solely for pain, ridicule, and the occasional wallet-theft subplot. This Shaun? Father walked out. Mother ghosted him for a "better future." Property sharks, mobsters, and scam artists all sniffing around what little he owns. But hey, he somehow clawed his way into a prestigious academy! A chance at redemption, right? Wrong.

Normally, this poor soul would accept his fate, because that’s what he’s written to do. But reincarnated Shaun? He didn’t read that memo. He has… let’s say, *creative solutions* to his problems. Where the original Shaun took beatings with a grimace, this Shaun hands out payback with a cold smile and zero guilt. Bullies? Meet karma, wielded like a sledgehammer. But something’s off. The script’s changing. People are acting weird. They’re *recognizing* him, approaching him like they know secrets he hasn’t been briefed on. And that internal monologue habit he has? Turns out it’s not so internal anymore. A growing number of eavesdroppers think his sarcastic, third-person narration is… important. please do not leave any review both positive or negative until you have read first 20 chapter new chapter is uploaded daily monday to saturday I AM ALSO UPLOADING SAME SERIES ON ROYAL ROADS UNDER THE NAME VOIDLORD

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!

O desanimado mágico Zong Jiu transmigrou para dentro de um livro. Ele foi parar em um rascunho de um romance de terror e fluxo infinito, tornando-se o figurante frágil que morria tragicamente na primeira rodada da competição. Esse rascunho era bem interessante: entre dezenas de milhares de pessoas, apenas cem podiam sobreviver, e o mais forte do grupo poderia até ganhar um bilhete de desejo universal. Se fosse outra pessoa, provavelmente ficaria apavorada. Mas ninguém esperava que Zong Jiu, além de não ter medo, ainda conseguisse seguir até o fim, exibindo seus truques descaradamente o tempo todo. Quando ele parava de brincar e sua vida parecia segura, acabava se metendo em uma rivalidade com o grande vilão do romance. Hoje você tenta me pegar, amanhã sou eu quem te pega. Um vai e vem bem divertido, heh. No fim, o que era apenas uma provocação acabou saindo do controle, e os dois realmente terminaram na cama. Olhando para o inimigo que o prensava contra o chão, Zong Jiu ergueu o olhar preguiçosamente. — Se vai me matar, então mata logo. Para de falar besteira. Mesmo em desvantagem, ele não demonstrava medo algum e ainda continuava a provocá-lo. O outro deslizou um dedo gelado por sua orelha, indo em direção à artéria, mas, de repente, parou. — Que pena. Mudei de ideia. Antes, ele ansiava por matar Zong Jiu com as próprias mãos. Todos os dias, se arrependia de não ter arrancado sua carne, de não ter quebrado seu pescoço. Mas agora que finalmente o tinha em suas mãos, um desejo ainda mais urgente crescia dentro dele como ervas daninhas. Mais do que vencer ou perder, ele queria vê-lo chorando e ofegante, com os olhos vermelhos, implorando por misericórdia.
