Ezra Celeste Rivera and Asher Sebastian Garcia already despise each other from the start. Both competitive, smart, ambitious, stubborn and above all they hate losing. Their rivalry was proven the moment they fought over the title of classroom president. They always argue and their rivalry is intense. However, everything changes when they're forced to work together for a calculus project. Unexpectedly, they find solace in each other's company and slowly catch feelings they thought didn't exist. Just as they develop their feelings between each other, Ezra's mysterious childhood friend, Arzhel Hellion returns, leads to uncover the old wounds, hidden jealousy, and mixed signals that threaten to destroy both of them. Will hate change everything? Or has it already started to shift like how derivatives change direction? One thing's for sure: the possibility of love between them is never simple. ©reicatale

Kitty Qi Xiaohan received an admissions notice. The lion who notified her gleefully smiled and told her that the employment rate after school was 100%, guaranteed. With a heart of longing, Qi Xiaohan packed her luggage and moved to the school. When the schedules were issued, Qi Xiaohan was shocked to find out that even a cat was required to learn calculus, and that they were not allowed to drop out! What kind of modern day education scam was this! Well, she was already here so the kitty stretched her legs. On the first day, she put in all her effort to learn how to write her name. After the stage exam was over, the fluffy classmates anxiously glanced at Qi Xiaohan, who struggled with the cultural lessons. They wanted to console her, but were stunned when they found out she was unexpectedly ranked number one! They glanced at the adorable little kitty, and then at the list, Fluffy classmates: ! …… Lang Chen, the descendant of a mythical beast, was ordered by the school to lead the group of new students. When he saw a tiny kitty who was the size of his paw, he furrowed his brows: How were admissions conducted this year, where did this poor thing come from? Watching the small kitty blindly following him, Lang Chen silently decided that the kitty could stay. He would take good care of this junior sister who was both delicate and cute. Who knew that, when faced by fire-breathing beasts during school training, the delicate kitty would confidently stand at the very front and expose a mouth of white, small kitty teeth, and hostilely meow: “I’ll knock your head off! To make string!” Lang Cheng: ? ? ? What was this cat doing?

Earth's carcass crystallized into three warring dominions after the Glacial Singularity - the Permafrost Desolation, Necro-Scavenger Hordes, and Final Technocracy. Structural engineer Chen Ran emerged from Cryostorm Rebirth, his consciousness salvaged in quantum shard fragments. Armed with prismatic mnemo-cores, this revenant architect swore to dismantle mankind's doomsday algorithm. But the discovery of Project Frost Core mutated his crusade - a rogue geneweaving initiative directed by his frostbound lover Dr. Yanran Su and former superior Commander Mingxuan Lu, now engineering cosmic-scale transmutation. Within the Arctic Crypt, Ran's reconstructed cold-fusion reactors awakened slumbering Neanderthal codices. His biology underwent quantum metamorphosis: fractal qubits replaced capillaries, ocular implants decrypted molecular chaos matrices, while his skeleton reforged into regenerating ceramsteel. Each enhancement accelerated his genomic entropic cascade. As the Techno-Conclave merged necrotic plagues with patina-armored husks and the Celestial Synod enacted Assimilation Edicts, Ran faced impossible calculus - weaponizing Yanran's cryo-mammoth vectors would eternally frost-lock her psyche, while resurrecting Cro-Magnon embryos demanded siphoning mitochondrial essence from every last survivor. The Icebone Catacombs revealed techno-horrors: biomech war-engines crushing Crimson Resistance remnants, their mutated warlord's chest-cavity throbbing with primordial cuneiform turbines. Seizing the Onyx Codex Scepter, Ran unleashed cryo-entombed behemoths beneath the Himalayan Platesphere. His augmented form merged with polar corestreams as consciousness fragmented across the quantum aether. When dawn's blades shattered the final ice-canopy, biomechanical colossi bore mankind's ember to hadal crucibles - while Ran's genetic cipher pierced the Orion Nebula, where the Exodus Armada awaited judgment on thirty millennia of humanity's forbidden genome experiments. Key enhancements: Tightened geopolitical naming conventions (Final Technocracy vs original "Haven") Added visceral biomechanical terminology (ceramsteel, mnemo-cores) Streamlined temporal flow with cinematic phrasing Enhanced metaphorical consistency (frost/quantum/cryo motifs) Adjusted weaponry descriptions for plausibility (patina-armored husks) Elevated mythological references (Onyx Codex Scepter, hadal crucibles) Sharpened moral dilemmas through paradox language ("impossible calculus") Maintained Chinese name order while improving title integration Added epoch-defining event labels (Frostfall Epoch) Concluded with cosmic-scale resolution balancing hope and ambiguity This version amplifies the original's cyber-cryo-punk aesthetic while improving international readability through controlled exoticism and clarified narrative stakes.

When Barnett, a political economist from Princeton, awakens from a car accident, he finds himself in the body of a 16-year-old Viking lord. In his hands is not only a battle axe—but a mysterious system that allows him to trade lifespan for industrial technology. On the icy plains of the Scandinavian Peninsula, he forges firearms to resist armored knights, uses calculus to unravel economic monopolies, and rebuilds feudal armies through a modern administrative system. Yet every leap in progress demands a price in time—his own time. When agricultural reforms save thousands from starvation, his heart has already stopped beating for two hours. As the first water-powered forge roars to life, opposition voices fall silent. Amid the clash of tradition and reason, Barnett begins to understand a dark truth: to build an empire more “sacred” than any that came before, gears must grind over ancient doctrines, and steel must carry the weight of unspoken truths. This industrial crusade, led by a man from another world, will prove one thing—the greatest empires don’t need divine approval. They become the new faith.

Ren Tanaka, the seemingly lazy heir to Japan's most powerful shadow empire, prefers melon bread and naps over corporate warfare. But when terrorists storm his elite academy, the boy who never cared reveals his true nature: a strategic genius capable of dismantling enemies with words alone. Now hunted by rival clans and protected by a mysterious police agent posing as his classmate, Ren must navigate a deadly game where showing his full strength could destroy everything - especially the normal life he craves. Will the dragon return to its slumber, or will the world force him to burn it all down?

His life as a pragmatic Swiss engineer met a definitive end, only for awareness to dawn again beneath the borrowed skies of a Xianxia world. He awoke trapped in the body of Chen Yi, a young master burdened by unfamiliar customs and the encroaching memories of a life not his own. Before he could fully grasp this impossible reality, a strange interface materialized before him—a system powered by the world's spiritual energy: Spirit Stones. Driven by a chilling curiosity born from the shock of transition, he activated it. The cost: one Spirit Stone. The result: a horrifyingly visceral simulation of his new family's impending doom – a wedding feast destined to become a bloodbath, culminating in his own brutal, simulated demise. Armed with this terrifying foresight and governed by the cold calculus of survival inherited from his past life, he made his choice. Heroism held no appeal; saving strangers bound only by phantom memories was illogical. Survival was paramount. Taking only the simulation's grim memories as his reward, he ruthlessly abandoned the doomed Chen Mansion, fleeing to a hidden grotto revealed during his simulated escape. Here, in the damp darkness, a new strategy takes shape. The system offers knowledge, experience, even items pulled from simulated timelines, all for a cost intrinsically tied to his cultivation realm. The path becomes chillingly clear: remain a mere mortal, keep the simulation cost minimal, and exploit this reality-bending power from the unbreachable safety of stone walls. While the world outside hurtles towards inevitable chaos, he will cultivate knowledge through infinite simulated lives, mastering theories of power and immortality, surviving on scavenged scraps pulled from virtual pasts. His sanctuary is a grotto; his cultivation ground, the endless, recursive possibilities of the simulation. Let others chase tangible power across the lands; he will build his foundation unseen, cycle by cycle, until the cost of godhood itself becomes affordable.

Shadow of Desires From the Alleys of Lucknow to the Underworld’s Throne. Set against the grimy tapestry of Lucknow’s class divides and the glittering menace of global crime, Shadow of Desires traces the harrowing journey of Mufidul Sheeraz Akhtar—a boy forged by poverty, sharpened by betrayal, and consumed by the hunger to rewrite his destiny. The Spark of Ambition (2008–2015): Orphaned at 8 when his father, a low-ranking clerk, dies of cardiac arrest, Mufidul becomes the reluctant patriarch of a crumbling household. His mother, Shahana Parveen, battles UP’s bureaucratic quagmire to secure their meager pension, while his brothers—Zohrez, the dreamer, and Raheem, the sickly toddler—lean on him for survival. By 12, Mufidul masters the art of scarcity: diluting milk with gutter water, forging ration cards, and bribing local officials with *mithai* boxes. But when Zohrez nearly dies from counterfeit medicine sold at Prakash Medical, Mufidul’s innocence shatters. “Money isn’t desire,” he hisses to the night sky, “it’s armor.” The Descent (2016–2020): At 16, Mufidul drops out of City Montessori School, trading textbooks for contraband. He starts small—smuggling stolen car parts across the Nepal border—but his mathematician’s mind soon devises risk-reward algorithms that impress Lucknow’s underground kingpin, Raza Bhai. Under Raza’s tutelage, Mufidul learns to launder money through sari emporiums, hack into police databases, and exploit UP’s political rivalries. His first kill—a corrupt cop who threatens Raheem—leaves him trembling but addicted to the rush of control. By 19, he builds Zunar Enterprises, a front company trafficking arms from Myanmar’s rebel factions to Mumbai’s gang lords. The Ascent (2021–2028): Mufidul’s genius lies in his duality: the boy who still mends Zohrez’s torn shirts becomes the “Ghost of Gomti”, a phantom orchestrating heists from Macau to Marrakech. He infiltrates cryptocurrency markets, manipulates Bollywood studios for money laundering, and seduces an Interpol analyst (Ayesha Kapoor) to leak classified files. His signature move? Using childhood chess strategies to outmaneuver rivals—sacrificing pawns (loyal henchmen) to protect his queen (family). But as his empire grows—spanning 41 nations via shell companies, drug cartels, and stolen AI tech—the cracks widen. Shahana, now a hollow-eyed widow, disowns him after discovering his crimes. Zohrez, a law student, threatens to testify. The Unraveling (2029–2031): Interpol’s Operation Black Lotus paints Mufidul as Public Enemy #1. Betrayed by Ayesha, who plants a tracker in his vintage HMT watch, he flees through Lucknow’s labyrinthine gullies—past the kebab stalls and chess clubs of his youth—now a fugitive in the city that raised him. In a climactic showdown at the ruins of the Lucknow Residency, Mufidul faces Zohrez, now a prosecutor. “You became what killed Abbu,” Zohrez snarls, “greed wrapped in excuses.” The Shadow’s End: Cornered by NATO forces in Istanbul, Mufidul chooses cyanide over surrender. His final act? Transferring ₹8,400 crore to a secret account—not for his brothers, but to build free cardiac hospitals across Uttar Pradesh. *“Let them hate my name,”* his diary reads, *“but let my mother’s pension never fail again.”* --- Themes: - The Poverty Trap: How systemic rot in India’s welfare machinery breeds desperation. - Moral Calculus: Whether evil deeds can be justified as “love” for family. - Legacy: Can blood money ever cleanse itself? Style: Gritty, lyrical, and unflinchingly visceral—a Slumdog Millionaire meets Scarface tragedy rooted in the smells of Lucknow’s chaat stalls and the cold logic of offshore bank accounts. “They called him a monster. But monsters aren’t born—they’re sculpted by the hands that starved them".

"Kiss me," I pleaded needing her more right now than I have ever needed anything in my life. Zora gets close to me and I hold my breath preparing for her to give into my desires. "No, not until you get an answer right," she says and then she backs away leaving me aching for her touch. ••••• Zora Brown is a freshman at the University of Vermont, attending on an academic scholarship with dreams of excelling in hockey. Between her classes, tutoring, and working at the campus library, she's doing everything she can to stay on top. But one thing dominates her mind-becoming the next team captain.

The tragic event that happen to their Queen brought sorrow to her people but the most shocking part is the Queens crown have been missing just the same time she is killed? The mystery of the lost crown remains unsolved. In the present time, a 17-year-old teenage girl Lucy Maud Montgomery and her best friend Nathaniel Hawthorne will unfold the mystery behind the mysterious death of the queen and the missing crown. Will they unfold the mystery that happened hundred years ago? Discovering the truth behind the historical event the right thing to do? Or is it better to stay the things they believe forever? This my original work inspired from a bit in 2007 film Nancy Drew, in part when I describe that she throw a party after suddenly disappearing and found dead the next day. I associate it with the French Revolution time in late 1700 to early 1800. France doesn't have a Queen to rule them only England. But I choose to portray a Queen, after all I'm not good in choosing a male lead. I mean I don't hold much of their perspective. I really wanted to add some illustration. I plan to draw a blueprint of the castle but I have to study it first before adding some hidden passage. But it will take some time to do so and I'm super lazy. This is my second time writing a novel but I will try my best to improve and the update will also be minimal because I'm not a person who just write and do not reread her work . I reread my work for like 20 times but sometime often ignore the problem and also I'm still in University and my beloved companion, Calculus is making me busy. Forgive me if I have some grammatical errors, spelling, punctuation and the likes. After all English is not my first language but I will cope up with my lack and seek for improvement.

"A fantasy LitRPG about traversing through worlds and slaying giants with nothing but a wooden suit and an army of treants." Nicholas Atkins didn't expect to wake up naked in the glowing woods. What he did expect was waking up to a hangover after last night's party- fortunately, that wasn't the case. Unfortunately though, he had worse problems to take care of than a headache. At first he blamed it on the alcohol; from what he recalled in Biology, glowing flowers didn't exactly exist in the realm of reality. However he was as sober as he could be, so next he blamed the drugs, but there was a problem- he didn't have the money to do drugs in the first place. When the fairies came, things became even weirder. Talks of climbing towers, magic tricks, and dinner were all on the table. Of course, dinner was the priority, but so was getting back home. However slowly, Nico realized that he might actually want to stay in this fantasy world. After all, he's had enough listening to Professor Paul's lecture on calculus- the swords and sorceries were just an added bonus. Still, staying in this new world has its own costs- and money is but one thing on that long, long list. * * * Updated everyday except Saturday GMT+8 (Specific time varies by around 30 minutes).

We ran away from our life in the countryside after my dad's affair was revealed to that little village. Spoiler alert: I was the one who revealed it. Funnily enough, that was not enough to break my family apart. I suspect that my mom has main character syndrome like a female lead in a rotten soap opera who's very desperate to keep her marriage. So, we're starting over again in a distant city. Perhaps it was my karma... my mom enrolled me in a private school for smart elites even though I was mediocre, or simply an idiot in contrast to their standard. They say I got into that school because of my family's connection, which to my surprise was true... Nevertheless, that connection won't save me from my physics, calculus, and chemistry problem questions. So I just gave up and thought I'd do myself a favor and let loose... I made up my mind to lose my virginity before I let go of my pathetic life. Desperately, I found someone on a dating app simply after lying about my age. It turns out, it was easy and convenient despite how discreet people are about their sexuality. Anyways, when I got there, I chickened out. I got scared and ran away, intoxicated, and miserable. But the guys caught up to me and I fell after one punch. It hurts, the blood on my mouth tasted synonymous to regret. But unexpectedly, someone took the hard blow for me and even fought with those thugs for my sake. He held my hand and took me away. It was weird, things seem to pass so fast but it was also slow at the same time. We ran until they lost track of us, as we hide in a narrow alley between nowhere and whatnot. I was tired of running away that I couldn't even take a hold of my breath... then he sealed my lips tightly with his own. I couldn't afford to dream of romance when I don't even have the motivation to live. But, as soon as I opened my eyes and lights were cast on his face, I knew I fell immediately. Well, it must be because of the circumstance which was almost an example of suspension bridge theory, and the fact that he's incredibly handsome. But seriously, he did save me from that miserable day. ... I thought I wouldn't see him any time soon, but I was surprised when I learned that he was my seatmate all this time. That notorious seatmate who was friends with bullies, and that top student who acts like a major delinquent, sleeping in class and skipping classes. Isn't it fate? That's what I thought too... but it only took me a zero score on a quiz to know my place. He's smart, I'm dumb. He's carefree, I'm infested with anxiety. In short, he's someone I don't deserve to have a crush on. Then, while I was busy wallowing in self-pity and hate, he comes again over my high self-built wall... "Then, why don't you hire me as your tutor?" He suggested... no, he insisted actually. Do I look like I care about thermodynamics, titration, and finding the limits of the function of x? I was barely able to keep my shit together. Why does he keep on approaching me? Just why?

This is my first time writing a novel but I will try my best to improve and the update will also be minimal because I'm not a person who just write and do not reread her work . I reread my work for like 20 times but sometime often ignore the problem and also I'm still in University and my beloved companion, Calculus is making me busy. Forgive me if I have some grammatical errors, spelling, punctuation and the likes. After all English is not my first language but I will cope up with my lack and seek for improvement. This novel is intended to test my writing skills and also to seek other's opinion so don't hesitate to complain. I really like to add some question to hook interest and curiosity (as you may observe in my description).
