The story began when Lucifer grew bored. This led him to decide to create a superior race to his father's, for his own entertainment. This race would surpass humans in every aspect, but there were still limitations to what he could achieve. For instance, he couldn't deceive the sun, a natural force belonging to his father, God. He desired a race that could outwit and behave like humans in order to deceive his father's masterpiece, but he couldn't create it in the same way as his father. Therefore, he opted for a shortcut - creating a disease known as vampirism. The main character becomes the first vampire, obtaining the blessing from Lucifer himself. In the year 646 A.D. in a small village in The Frankish Kingdom, a young albino girl named Carmilla lived in fear for her life. In those dark ages, her unique appearance meant almost certain death. Confined to the basement of her house, she had never seen the world beyond its walls. Her parents kept her in chains, showing her no love or kindness, except for her sister Anna, who was her only source of comfort and care. However, tragedy struck when fate cruelly took Anna away. Alone and desperate, Carmilla prayed for salvation, and in her darkest moment, an unexpected blessing came from the Seraphim Lucifer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my novel, Carmilla will embark on a journey through different time periods, facing great dangers along the way. She may encounter historical figures such as Vlad The Impaler, visit the Lancaster duchess, and possibly even travel to Brazil. The story will be filled with numerous historical events, some of which will be altered while others may not occur at all. The supernatural world will be rich with a variety of folklore from real life, some of which I may create myself. Elements such as werewolves, sorcery, faith bearers, pagan gods, and more will be included. I draw inspiration from real world legends and events, and will also introduce some original creations of my own. Many of the vampire characters in the story will be influenced by existing vampire literature, such as Castlevania, Vampire: The Masquerade, Count Dracula, and others.

A ruthless corporate strategist wakes up in a mud-filled trench during the Crimean War, inside the disgraced body of Captain Alistair Peregrine Finchley. Branded a coward. Hated by London. Assets frozen. Empire wants him hanged. Finchley wants tea. Now stuck in an alternate Victorian Britain era with only a sarcastic, old-fashioned “Gentleman’s Ledger” and his battlefield instincts, Finchley sets one goal, Retire in peace. Preferably rich. Definitely far away from cannon fire. But peace is expensive. And the empire is on sale.

While they do the dirty work, Finchley delegates, invests, and drinks tea. But retirement isn't so easy to outsource, especially when the gentleman ledger he carries mysteries of its own. And the Empire? It’s about to go on the market. "War? No, thank you. I’m building a pension."

Osamu Murakami was your average college drop-out, till he wasn't. By the age of twenty he was completely alone in modern Japanese society, failing his literature courses because his writing was too damn fantastical. Pooh. If writing fantasy won't sell now, he'd not want to live in such a world. Guess God heard his wish. After an incident at the local 7-11 convience store he was resting by the roof's edge, when suddenly he was startled by his goddess Fumiko and he fell. Fumiko tried to save him but they ended up falling together, and they died. But at least it was quiet now... right? Why is there the sound of a baby crying? Weird. Wait. Was that him...? He had reincarnated as Temius Daecerus, in the Royal House of Tarkhan Daecerus, the Iron Lord of the fantasy world of Selliva and he had absolutely no idea what he should feel about this sudden plot twist... Can't a guy even die in peace???? Now begins the story as we follow Osamu's adventure as the genius mage of the House of Tarkhan in the world of Selliva.

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld

During the demon-summoning ceremony, Aiwass finally recalled his past life's memories. This should be an online game that his family's company had released and operated for six years. Now, his foster father was the leader of the latest version's antagonist organization. He would expose his identity six years later, hesitate and then defect from the protagonist's side. Ultimately, because he decided to take a fatal strike meant for the player character, he was killed by his upright older brother in a transitional CG without even a chance to enter the main content. ——But the problem was not too significant. Aiwass also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to the player character, as well as the Nurturing Secret Sequel regulations of the various Paths. He believed he could reverse his unfortunate fate…… So now there was only one issue left. "According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this lousy ceremony even began?" Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation. —————— Keywords: Victorian Fantasy, Amber Flow

I never asked to be the chosen anything. I had a nice enough life, if you enjoy communing with dead people, wrangling ghostly regrets, and being occasionally mistaken for a lost Victorian child. Harrowers don’t get holidays, and we certainly don’t get destiny. We get well-worn boots, crumbling field journals, and maybe—if we’re lucky—a thermos that doesn’t leak. I was fine with that. Then came the part where I accidentally got involved in a celestial conspiracy. You know, the usual: unraveling the fabric of fate, discovering I may or may not be some mythical thread-weaver, dodging bureaucratic Fae with sharp smiles and sharper agendas, and, most inconveniently of all, developing a highly inconvenient attraction to a certain exiled Huntsman of the Unseelie Court who looks he stepped out GQ: Gothic Edition and smells like rain. Alaric Fen. Yes, that Alaric. The one with the eyes like amber lightning and cheekbones you could cut yourself on. Now I’m trying to stop the Balance from folding like a wet towel, while two ancient Courts most humans are blissfully unaware about flirt with civil war, and everyone keeps looking at me like I’ve got the answers. I don't. I have tattoos I didn't sign up for, a fast-talking con artist for a best friend, and some stubborn hope that kindness still counts for something. So if you're looking for a grand epic of magic, love, betrayal, memory, and rebellion—well. Here we are.  Just… don’t expect me to smile about it. Come along if you'd like. I could use someone on my side. -Entry from the diary of Grey Wyrde

With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a Beyonder? Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears? Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian era world where he sees a world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, difference machines, as well as Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, Sealed Artifacts… The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions. Like the corresponding tarot card, The Fool, which is numbered 0—a number of unlimited potential—this is the legend of "The Fool."

The Binding Spell "The Binding Spell" begins as a charming contemporary romance, introducing Clara, a quiet book-lover with dreams of her own publishing house, and Liam, an articulate university lecturer. Their serendipitous meeting in the sun-dusted aisles of an old, beloved bookstore, "The Binding Spell," sparks an instant connection over their shared passion for literature. Their story blossoms through cozy cafes and shared silences, hinting at a profound sense of belonging and the magic of finding a kindred spirit. However, their unfolding love story takes a dark and dangerous turn when the very bookstore that brought them together is mysteriously destroyed in a fire. What Clara and Liam uncover in the aftermath is not just a tragic accident, but a sinister web of corruption tied to powerful corporate magnate Marcus Thorne. Armed with explosive evidence of arson and deeper malfeasance, they find themselves thrust into a high-stakes battle for truth, their lives—and the safety of their daughter, Eliza—hanging in the balance. Their desperate attempt to expose Marcus publicly leads to a city-wide manhunt, Liam's injury and disappearance, and Clara's capture by Dr. Aris Thorne, Marcus's estranged and far more dangerous brother. Aris, a reclusive geneticist and data magnate, reveals a chilling ambition for total information control, seeking to "optimize" Clara's memories using a neural device to weaponize her story against Marcus. Caught between two warring brothers and their monstrous ambitions, Clara faces not only physical peril but a terrifying threat to her very identity. As Marcus's forces breach Aris's hidden facility, chaos erupts, leading to the desperate unleashing of Project Chimera - Specimen 001, a formidable and unknown creature. Clara must navigate a crumbling, flooding labyrinth, facing both human predators and an unleashed monster, all while desperately searching for Liam and clinging to the hope of protecting Eliza. "The Binding Spell" transforms from a sweet, character-driven narrative into a gripping, high-octane thriller, exploring the enduring power of stories, the fight for truth against overwhelming control, and the harrowing journey of two souls bound by love, courage, and an unbreakable will to survive.

In this Victorian-era world of eldritch horrors and forgotten gods, Lucien Albrecht runs a simple business—if something is cursed, godly, monstrous, or downright evil, he’ll take care of it. No questions, no morals—just results. Of course for the right amount of money. But his life takes an unwanted turn when Sella Varcosta, an elite hunter from the Black Chapel, finally tracks him down. She’s spent many hours training to kill him—until she discovers the truth: if she doesn’t drink his blood, she will die. And the Black Chapel of Assassins wants him dead. Again. Unfortunately, Lucien is the last person to rely on. He avoids attachments like the plague, refuses to be controlled by anyone—including fate—and would rather set himself on fire than be someone’s lifeline. But with witches on the rise, gods and goddesses and beasts escaping their own tarot cards to cause havoc, and a a deadly plague corrupting and killing the land slowly, Lucien and Sella are forced into an uneasy alliance. As they dive deeper into the fractured history of their world, they begin to unravel mysteries, villains, and something far worse than curses or corruption—a forgotten cycle of death and rebirth, one that binds them together in ways neither of them understand. And when the final hunt begins, only one thing is certain—they will either save each other, or destroy everything in their path.

Centuries before the common era, in a world grappling with divine mysteries and human fallibility, a profound prophetic work emerged: The Book of Enoch. This ancient text, attributed to Noah's great-grandfather, Enoch, unveils astonishing revelations—from the fall of the Watchers (angels who descended to earth and corrupted humanity) to the detailed workings of the cosmos, vivid prophecies of the Messiah, and the ultimate judgment. Enoch, an antediluvian patriarch who walked with God, acts as our guide through celestial journeys, revealing secrets of creation, the nature of good and evil, and humanity's destiny. His visions paint a stark picture of a pre-flood world overrun by giants and wickedness, but also offer glimpses of divine justice and future redemption. For millennia, The Book of Enoch existed on the fringes of accepted scripture, revered by some early Jewish and Christian communities, yet ultimately excluded from most canonical collections. Its influence, however, resonated deeply, subtly shaping theological thought and apocalyptic literature. Then, in the mid-20th century, a monumental discovery in the caves of Qumran near the Dead Sea brought The Book of Enoch back into the spotlight. Among the thousands of ancient manuscripts unearthed—the Dead Sea Scrolls—were numerous copies of Enochic texts, written in Aramaic and Hebrew. These remarkably preserved scrolls not only confirmed the antiquity and widespread circulation of The Book of Enoch but also illuminated its central role within the Qumran community, believed to be the Essenes, a Jewish sect deeply invested in eschatological beliefs and adherence to divine law. "The Book of Enoch: The Dead Sea Scrolls" weaves together the extraordinary narrative of Enoch's revelations with the thrilling account of the scrolls' discovery and their subsequent impact. It explores how these ancient manuscripts from the Judean Desert provide unprecedented insight into the rich tapestry of Second Temple Judaism, the origins of early Christianity, and the enduring power of apocalyptic vision. By examining the Enochic fragments found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, this book uncovers a vital missing link in our understanding of biblical history, prophecy, and the spiritual yearning for divine truth that transcends generations. It is a journey into an ancient world, a testament to enduring faith, and a thrilling exploration of how buried texts can reshape our perception of the past and our hopes for the future.

He always woke at 4:44 AM. No alarm. No mistake. As if something—or someone—waited precisely then. At first, Elias Rehn dismissed it. Coincidence. Circadian rhythm. Nothing worth feeding fear. Until the 44th morning— when his reflection blinked half a second too late… and whispered, “I’m you. From tomorrow.” From that moment, Elias is thrust into a reality where time fractures, mirrors whisper, and each version of himself fights for dominance. He’s not dreaming. He’s remembering. Across timelines. Across selves. Five minds. One body. A fractured soul trapped in an echoing loop. Every morning, he wakes. But someone else might be behind the eyes. "One is a fog-drenched clockmaker in Victorian Europe. One is an assassin loyal to shadows in ancient Kyoto. One is a priest carrying truths too heavy for God. One is a scholar writing history before it happens. And one… is the origin of them all." One of them seeks freedom. Another wants revenge. And one has seen the end. But only Elias can solve the puzzle— because he is the Mind Paradox itself. When memory and reality collapse… Will your mind still belong to you?

In the seemingly ordinary halls of Northwood High, Sam Gray Stone, a keen observer who finds solace in logic and quiet contemplation, notices Elliona Elfray, a brilliant but shy girl who perceives the world in intricate layers. Their initial connection is a subtle hum in the echoing quiet of the library, a shared glance that hints at unseen depths within their reserved exteriors. Drawn together by an unexpected partnership for an advanced English project, Sam and Elliona begin to navigate not just the complexities of literature, but also the uncharted territories of their own minds. Through hushed conversations in the library, a chance encounter at a stubbornly locked locker, and an unexpected shared appreciation for fantastical realms found in books, a quiet resonance begins to form between them. Their connection deepens beyond academics during a visit to a quirky independent bookstore and a shared afternoon tending a community garden. In each subtle interaction, they discover a kindred spirit in the other – someone who sees beyond the surface, who understands the unspoken language of their quiet souls. As their bond strengthens, they find solace and understanding in each other's presence, a refuge from the often-cacophonous world around them. But as their feelings blossom, they must navigate the delicate balance of their introverted natures and the often-awkward realities of high school life, including the well-meaning but disruptive presence of Sam's boisterous friend, Dickson. Through shared literary passions, quiet moments of vulnerability, and gentle acts of kindness, Sam and Elliona slowly, carefully, begin to acknowledge the profound connection growing between them. "Subtle Resonance" is a story about the quiet power of observation, the beauty of understated connection, and the transformative journey of two introspective souls finding their voice and their heart in the gentle echo of another's understanding. It's a reminder that the deepest connections are often found not in grand gestures, but in the subtle, resonant moments that speak volumes.

Shen La, a special forces operative born with the Heavenly Eye, has been able to see ghosts since childhood. During a mission involving a supernatural incident, his abilities were exposed—leading to his recruitment by a hidden Chinese government agency: the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation.

To gain power, he gave up his voice. Now, his blade speaks for him. Sixteen-year-old Timothy Maxwell once dreamed of becoming a hero. That dream died the night his hometown was slaughtered by Inquisitors—silenced in the name of peace. Left for dead and unable to scream, Timothy is chosen by a cursed order known only as The Choir—warriors who sever a sense to awaken monstrous power. In exchange for his voice, he gains a blade that sings with rage, grief, and vengeance. Now known only as Mute, he travels a fog-drenched, Victorian world teetering on the edge of collapse—where religion is weaponized, magic is forbidden, and silence is feared. Each member of the Choir has paid a price: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. In return, they’ve become monsters—and legends. But Timothy’s silence hides more than sorrow. Inside him lies an ancient Resonance that the Order tried to erase. And when his blade finally sings… The world will listen.

In the cold heart of Victorian London, Lady Elenora Warwick is forced into a loveless marriage with Darius Cain, a self-made industrialist who purchased his noble title, and with it, her freedom. She is noble by blood, proud and silent. He is power-hungry, sharp-tongued, and despises the aristocracy she represents. From the moment their eyes meet, hostility sparks. But the grand estate they now share hides more than gold-framed portraits and endless halls... It hides secrets that could destroy them both.
