Hollow Ichigo

Zara is a billionaire venture capitalist—flawless, feared, and unstoppable. But beneath the luxury and power, she feels hollow. One night, she dreams of a presence made of light—a memory from beyond time. Then she discovers Yousen, a soft-spoken tech philosopher whose startup isn’t chasing profit, but truth. Drawn to him like a flame, she pursues him with everything she has. He refuses. Her empire crumbles. Exiled and broken, Zara begins a deeper journey—into silence, prayer, and purpose. Her obsession turns into devotion. Her ambition into surrender. Years later, they meet again. She no longer seeks to possess the light. She is the light. Part love story, part tech parable, part spiritual memoir, The Light Beyond the Code is a lyrical, cinematic journey through the ruins of ambition into the infinite depths of the self. Told in Zara’s fierce, poetic voice, it dances between boardrooms and burning deserts, startups and sacred texts, collapse and transcendence. This is not a story of falling in love. It is a story of rising beyond it.

Eclipsed by fate Who remembers the ruin of a god? Who dares to chase what was never meant to be found? Noor—an enigma draped in silk, a storm without thunder, a shadow that bends the world yet leaves no trace of its touch. She is whispered of in corridors where power is traded like currency, yet no man holds her name, no past binds her, no hand dares to reach. She walks unclaimed, unseen, forgotten by design. But some things refuse to be buried. Some ghosts never rest. Sanlang, a man cast in golden light, sculpted into perfection, a deity in the eyes of the world—and yet hollow. Beneath the applause, beneath the worship, something stirs. It begins as whispers in the dark, fragments of a life he does not remember, a truth that gnaws at the edges of his mind. A gavel’s fall. A price too steep. Shackles too fine for a king. And in the abyss of his lost memories, she stands. Watching. Waiting. Who is she? A dream? A curse? Or the key to a something that should have remained untouched? He chases her like a man chasing the sun, believing himself the hunter. He is wrong. She does not run. She does not fear. She does not need to hide, for she knows—should he tread too far, should he step beyond the veil—he will find not salvation, not love, but the remnants of a god unmade. He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does, the only question that remains is this: Will Noor let him live with the truth? Or will she erase him as she did herself?

This is the cry of the protagonist, Dudian, and the struggle of millions of survivors in the apocalypse. Within the Great Walls, humanity rots. After 300 years in ice, the king returns.

In the city of Duskhaven, people wake up with memories that don’t belong to them. Some remember lives they never lived, families they never had. Others recall events that never happened—wars, disasters, entire histories erased from the world but vivid in their minds. And then, without warning, those same people vanish. No bodies. No trace. No one remembers they ever existed. Detective Elias Wren has spent years tracking these disappearances, chasing shadows no one else sees. But when he wakes up one morning to find a new set of memories in his own mind, he realizes he’s running out of time. Someone—or something—is rewriting reality. And Elias is next.

Cultivation Nori - Horror **Warning: This isn’t your typical cultivation story. If you're looking for a formulaic journey of power, turn back. This is for those who want their cultivation with teeth, grief, and gods that scream.** The Red Moon looms, its light bleeding across the ruins of a dead world. No voices remain, no echoes of the past, only the wind whispering through hollowed stone. Yet one figure still moves, tracing unseen steps beneath the crimson glow. The boy does not know how long he has wandered, nor why he alone remains. He remembers hunger, the weight of a knife at his hip, and the distant pull of something just beyond memory, a path he must walk, a dance he must complete. But the steps evade him, like a melody half-forgotten. There are things lurking in the dark, creatures that should not exist, bound to the moon's eerie cycle. Somewhere, beneath the veil of time, the truth is buried. Somewhere, within the forgotten rhythm of his own steps, the answer awaits. And when the dance begins again, it will either set him free or consume him entirely.

Celestial Threads: Rebirth in Elysion Where your choices rewrite destiny… and one wrong thread could unravel the cosmos. Arin never asked to become a living pawn of the Oracle. One moment, they’re a disillusioned artist on Earth; the next, reborn into Elysion—a fractured realm of floating islands, warring cultivation sects, and celestial temples humming with forgotten technology. Here, the laws of reality are woven into a sentient tapestry… and it’s speaking to them. The Oracle’s Bargain: CHOOSE which faction to empower: The militant Skyforge Sect, who weaponize Qi as living artillery? Or the enigmatic Threadweavers, who manipulate fate itself—for a price? UNRAVEL prophecies that shift with every decision, where saving a village today might doom a continent tomorrow. DISCOVER the truth behind Arin’s rebirth: Are they a hero meant to unite Elysion… or a cosmic accident the tapestry seeks to erase? But as Arin’s latent Earthly memories clash with Elysion’s dying magic, a darker threat emerges: The Hollow Crown, a cult harvesting souls to reweave the tapestry into a weapon. Now, Arin must master both Eastern cultivation and Western techno-sorcery before their choices—and the readers guiding them—unravel existence itself.

In the flickering heart of Veyris, a city bound by ancient lanterns and shadowed secrets, Lira Velren is a thief with nothing to lose until one fateful heist changes everything. When she shatters a relic and awakens the Emberweavers, mythical beings of flame and fury, a mysterious mark sears her flesh, and the lanterns blaze with a power long dormant. Now, hunted by voices from a forgotten pact and pursued by a city teetering on the edge of chaos, Lira must unravel the truth with her fearless ally, Kael, at her side. Their path leads to the Hollow Spire, a forsaken ruin whispering of plague and peril, where the past demands reckoning. As fire threatens to consume all she knows, Lira faces an impossible choice: flee the inferno or claim its power as her own. In this breathtaking tale of survival, courage, and destiny, every spark could light the way or burn Veyris to ash.

The world is broken. Realms that were never meant to touch now bleed into one another, warping the land and twisting its survivors into something unrecognizable. Wars raged, gods fell, and the skies rained fire—but the true devastation came from what crept through the cracks. Beings of unfathomable hunger, remnants of dying realms, now stalk the ruins, each vying to claim this world as their own. Kael remembers the night the boundaries shattered. A meteor annihilated his town, but it was no mere rock—it was a herald of the convergence. Five years a slave, he wakes from nightmares of a black-crowned god and a child fed on divine blood, only to be "freed" by a masked stranger who calls him "disappointing" before vanishing. As they travel, they uncover fragments of the truth: the realms’ overlap was no accident. Someone—or something—orchestrated it, and the key to severing the convergence lies in the very ritual that haunts Kael’s dreams. But with every step, the boundaries weaken. In this world of crumbling sanity and predatory gods, Kael must decide: Will he fight to reclaim what’s left of his home, or embrace the power of the Hollow Dominion—and risk becoming the very thing he fears?

"They took her—tried to erase her from my mind—tried to leave me hollow. But I will carve through their so called magic, bleed their souls with my tech, and burn their gilded towers to oblivion. They can make forget. But for her... I WILL remember."

"With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" Dennis, the man she acknowledged as her Older brother, posed that question, while glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. There are still people I treasure in this place. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden.

For centuries, Earth has been trapped in an unending war, not against itself, but against ten other races, each fighting for dominance. The world isn't what it once was... The skies burn with battle, the land is drenched in blood, and the very fabric of reality is beginning to tear. But something far worse lurks beyond the battlefield.

Every teenager is forced into the Academy, a brutal proving ground where only the strongest earn the right to fight for the future. He was never meant to be chosen.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]
