Swallow Star

In the isolated village of Bellgrave, nineteen-year-old Elias Vale has always lived an ordinary life. Until the night everyone dies. At exactly midnight, the village bell rings thirteen times, shadows swallow the streets, and every person in Bellgrave is killed by an unseen horror. Elias watches his mother and everyone he loves perish before waking the next morning to find them alive again. No one remembers the massacre. But Elias does. As midnight comes again and again, Elias desperately searches for a way to save the villagers. His attempts reveal that Bellgrave is trapped in an ancient supernatural loop, and every death is connected to the mysterious church bell and the forbidden forest surrounding the village. Then he meets Lyra Veyne—a strange girl who remembers the deaths too. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: Bellgrave is not merely cursed. For centuries, the village has served as a prison for an ancient entity known as the Sleeper. The nightly deaths are the price keeping it imprisoned. Elias's strange ability, Echo, allows him to carry memories and skills from one cycle into the next, making him stronger with every death. But every change he makes to the future costs him a precious memory of his former life. As Elias and Lyra grow closer, he discovers that she has endured the loop for 117 years—and was destined to become its final sacrifice. When the night finally refuses to reset, the Sleeper begins to awaken. To save Bellgrave, Elias must choose between the woman he loves and the world. But instead of sacrificing Lyra, he makes an impossible third choice: he takes the ancient seal into himself, saving the village at the cost of his own existence. Months later, Bellgrave finally experiences a normal midnight. Until Lyra hears a familiar melody—and sees a stranger...

They call him the "Watchdog of the West Gate." To the wealthy students, Alistair Cain is a joke—a dropout husband living off his brilliant professor wife, tasked with nothing more than checking IDs and chasing stray dogs off campus. To his wife’s powerful family, he is a stain on their reputation, a useless son-in-law who should have been discarded years ago. But they don’t know why the West Gate is the only place on campus where the shadows never move. They don’t know that the "stray dogs" he chases are actually Hellhounds trying to breach the mortal realm. And they certainly don’t know that Alistair is actually the Calamity Star—the exiled God of War serving a 1,000-year penance to suppress the ancient evil beneath the university library. When the seal begins to crack and the elite families of the city become pawns in a demonic war, the useless security guard finally stands up. "You can insult me all you want," Alistair says, adjusting his uniform cap. "But step one foot past this gate, and not even the Heavens can save you."

Betrayed. Ruined. Reborn. Austin was the undisputed top genius of the Roaring Heaven Sect, a legendary beast tamer who bled for three agonizing years to elevate his clan into royalty. But the very moment they grasped ultimate power, loyalty was traded for ruthless ambition. His aristocratic fiancée, Vivian, alongside her cold-blooded family, betrayed him without hesitation. They ruthlessly pierced his dantian, shattered his cultivation, and ripped his Grade-9 Astral Phoenix soul straight from his flesh to graft it into her body. Cast out like garbage into the freezing, bone-chilled Ashen Graveyard during a howling blizzard, Austin lay dying among the skeletons of forgotten monsters. But as his heart gave its final desperate beat, his blood boiled, awakening a forbidden primordial lineage. TABOO BLOODLINE AWAKENED: THE COSMIC DEVOURER SYSTEM CORE INITIALIZED: YOU NO LONGER TAME BEASTS. YOU EAT GODS. Reconstructed with a swirling vortex of infinite gravity, Austin’s first system pull grants him a tiny, translucent Void Slime. When a mountain-sized, Tier-10 Ghost Emperor Dragon tears through space to annihilate him, the tiny slime unhinges its jaw to swallow the sky whole—devouring the dragon and skyrocketing Austin’s power straight to the Golden Core Realm. Yet, this massive surge of energy alerts the Higher Planes. Three god-level assassins are now descending to hunt him down, leaving Austin with a strict seven-day ticking clock to prepare. To survive, Austin conceals his terrifying new power, assuming the role of a bruised, broken, level-one trash cultivator. While Vivian and her clan arrogantly celebrate his death and auction off his ancestral legacy, the ultimate monster slips back through the city gates. They stripped him of his beast soul, so he will feed them to his gods. The real hunt has just begun.

Akara, a boy who has a strong ambition to become the strongest aura master, meets his dull point. When opening the aura realm, he cannot condense his energy, not even one star of energy. The condensation of the aura realm that should be done by everyone, but not with him. Mockery and pitying glances, made Akara annoyed and even more determined. "To hell with talent, to hell with destiny! I will have the title of the strongest aura master no matter what! All of that is not because of talent, but with hard work and a mature strategy. You who are considered talented geniuses, I will make you unable to resist me! I will make my own destiny! Even if I have to fight against God, I will do it and I will surpass him!" Emotional words from a child, but not a mere bluff. They don't know who he really is. The person who is even feared by a God. The past and the future he can control easily. Then why is he in this world? Who is he really who is now only considered trash? The Dragon God Ruler, not only the leader of the Dragons, but also the Dragon Gods whose existence is feared in various universes.

Fifty years ago, human progress stopped. No new equations. No new discoveries. No breakthroughs. For half a century, science lay shackled by an invisible chain, leaving humanity trapped in a golden age that never came. Then came Quincy Enterprise and Interplanetary Network—a revolutionary VR game powered by technology that shouldn't exist. Inside its pods, players command divine magic, touch distant stars, and explore hyper-realistic galaxies. To the world, it’s the ultimate escape. To governments, an unexplainable miracle. To Wyvon Klovis, a burned-out high school physics teacher, it’s a puzzle waiting to be solved. When Wyvon steps into the game as Photon-V, he expects a distraction. Instead, he uncovers a terrifying secret: The game isn't a simulation. Ancient gods lie imprisoned within its code, cosmic authorities destroy entire star systems from the shadows, and the physics of the universe are being actively manipulated. Armed with modern quantum science and a newly awakened divine authority, Wyvon must decipher the Administrator’s sigil, claim the Primordial Creation Gems, and rewrite the rules of reality. The game holds the key to why human science slept for fifty years... and Wyvon is about to wake it up.

"In his past life, everything met its end beneath the strike of a cursed lance—one that split his dragon's flesh and snuffed out the mana coursing through his veins. It was a betrayal orchestrated by those closest to him, forged from a weapon that belonged neither to the Dragon Throne nor to this world." Yet death was not the end. Alex opens his eyes once more to find himself back as a six-year-old child, carrying the memories of a seasoned warrior inside his young mind. This time, he will not wait for others to write his fate. Armed with a body built for battle and a consciousness years ahead of his age, Alex begins mastering his ancestors' secrets—sensing mana in mere moments and condensing his first star, leaving his father suspecting he might be the rebirth of their legendary founder. With a dragon concealing its presence within the shadows and a mysterious entity from a distant realm privy to the truth behind his rebirth, Alex embarks on his journey to reclaim his destined throne. "If the blade failed me once... then I shall forge a crown out of my own blood and fire that no one can ever shake!"

18+(Only)... In the lawless stretch of the galaxy, Sev is a bounty hunter who doesn’t just take lives—he dominates them. His cockpit is his kingdom, his bed a battlefield. Cold, controlled, and cruel, he lets nothing slip beneath his armor… until a high-stakes mission puts two women in his orbit who unravel everything. Emma—fragile, forbidden, and once his weakness—is now shackled and silent, sold like cargo. Serina—his twisted addiction—is a sadistic vixen who feeds on power and pain, her moans as sharp as her knives. Sev burns for her, bleeds for her, and obeys when she whispers filth into his ear between battles. But when the Hyperium he steals lights up a war across star systems, he returns to find Serina’s rage hotter than any star. She wraps her fingers in Emma’s hair and growls, "Choose, Sev. The ghost of your guilt... or the fire that owns you." The galaxy isn’t ready for the storm they’re about to unleash—in the bed, in the shadows, and across the stars. ********* This book also contains other compilations of crazy, steamy, thigh tingling sci-fi fantasy erotic stories for your reading pleasure.

How do you feel about life? Is it the purpose? Is it because everything must have a purpose? Explore the deep character of a creature, in search of the meaning of life. Commander Tatiana and her team explore the deepest parts of the Andromeda Galaxy. "From that moment, my existence became purposeless. I had no reason to exist. I started wandering around, going from one-star system to another without any objective. There were no directives in my command-level database so shutting myself down was impossible. I also could not simply jump into a star which would cause self-destruction because my self-preservation directive was still in place. So, my main objective became to observe the remaining organic species from a distance. Most organic species used to avoid me. I always threw a ping at the passing ships but as Yolin once said, it would be very “Organic” to be “afraid” of a 10km long sentient starship that has weapons which can destroy a planet. I however didn’t know the concept of fear. I had a directive not to harm organics, so I had to follow them. Fear is not in my database." Maybe you can find the deeper meaning of those words. What starts with a simple exploration journey, becomes something more.
