Genres: Supernatural, Slice of Life, Action, Romance, Comedy. Sawyer West Reid, an aspiring doctor, was just trying to survive his night shift when an A-class witch attacked him. Instead of meeting his end, he was rescued by a mysterious Hunter—and thrust into a hidden world where magic, monsters, and cosmic forces collide. Now, Sawyer is forced into an entirely new role: Enforcer, a mediator between humans, supernaturals, and alien races from beyond. Haunted by echoes of countless past lives and caught in the delicate balance between realms, Sawyer’s journey is anything but ordinary. Pursued by a murderous eight-foot-tall pale creature with crimson eyes and tasked with closing a mysterious gate torn open by an unknown force, saving the universe was never in his five-year plan. In a universe governed by ancient laws, hidden dimensions, and cosmic threats (not to mention some truly baffling alien beverage etiquette), Sawyer quickly learns that survival will require more than medical skills and a lot of coffee. I began writing this story to craft a supernatural world filled with witches, werewolves, gods, monsters, and everything in between—told from the very beginning with an eye for the intricate universal laws that bind it all. What started as a spark of inspiration has grown into an ever-expanding adventure that I hope will captivate you as much as it does me. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. I’m having a lot of fun, and I hope you will too! Note: This story contains violence and dark themes and is intended for an adult audience. Updates: Tuesdays and Sundays (West Africa Time). Occasional breaks may occur to catch up with the storyline and refine chapters.

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket. If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death. No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way. Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain. Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh. As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him. That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped. “What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.” — He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds. Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy.

He sees a fearful girl walking around in the woods late at night.....She ran off so he chased after her..... she heard heavy breathing behind her....
