Two Teens Kissing

In a world where magic is bought with memories, Varek Soren trades the last warm thing he owns, the sound of his dead father's voice but the System hands him a blind, mewling creature everyone calls worthless. The crowd laughs, his fiancée turns away with cold eyes, and Varek believes his life is finally finished and over. He does not yet know that his death has not even started. Varek is not the failure the world sees. He is the last living vessel of Azrath-Kai, a Mythic Void Leech so dangerous the old gods sealed it inside his bloodline centuries ago.

On the night after his deepest shame and disgrace, Vespera Ashford comes to him with warm food and gentle words, he still trusts her, he still believes she was forced to break their engagement, so he ate the food without questioning her or her sincerity not knowing that the food was drugged. He wakes strapped to a cold table with Vespera holding the surgical instruments, her new lover holding the lantern, and Aurelius the Lightbringer standing over him with a soft smile as he peels Varek's memories away layer by layer to rip the sealed beast from his living body. Varek dies in absolute agony, betrayed by the woman he gave everything to and butchered by the hero the whole world worships. Then he wakes up on the morning of the Summoning Day, two weeks before his murder, with the Regression Gift burning in his blood.

Two weapons clanged. A sturdy long stick with a large mace on top was swayed aside by a strong female warrior. With her short reddish hair and a menacing yell, she trusted her chain mace towards a tall girl with a long pointy tail and protruding fangs. She barely dodged her attack, throwing her body to the ground of the arena. The audience behind the flimsy fence roared and cheered in a frenzy. They were packed tight around the rocky walls, thirsting for blood. The fallen girl heaved, holding her weapon tight. Standing up, she narrated, "Someone once joked 'Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company'. Only fools can believe this to be true." Her opponent cackled with a smirk, ready for another attack. "Do you want to know what it's like down here? Well, let me tell you.” The woman in question entered this world as a very old and very ill woman. Surrounded by her loved ones, she closed her eyes and entered a hell-like dimension. It resembled a large city floating on a lake of lava, called Helltown. With very little resources, she had to find a way to survive. Luckily, there was hope. The woman used a spell to become a beautiful young woman with super strength. Disguised, she fought demons, escaped the slums, ended up in a brothel and then as a gladiator in an arena. With many enemies and shifty allies, she finally managed to catch a break and get to the top floors, where the intrigues truly start. Along the way, we learn more about her life on Earth and the possible reasons for her being there. Can she stay sane among such evil? What is Helltown, and does it affect the life on Earth? A lot, actually.

​"Two years." ​That was the impossible deadline given to Daniel to buy a luxury estate. It was the condition set by her rich, traditional parents to marry the love of his life, Olivia Eleanor. For a struggling student working night shifts to support his single mother, it was an astronomical sum. It was a polite death sentence to his romance. ​But fate had a different, far more brutal plan. ​Snatched from his world, he is thrust into the Tower of Awakening, a multidimensional death game.

Every stat point is paid for in blood, sweat, and shattered bones. ​Surrounded by veteran killers who started miles ahead of him, he must weaponize his own suffering to bridge the gap. He will carve a path to the top, one step at a time. ​But as the trials grow twisted and his mysterious trait begins to mutate his body, a chilling question remains. ​By the time he earns the right to return to Earth... will he even be human anymore?

Two centuries after the Echo Collapse tore reality apart, fractured versions of people Echoes walk the earth, each a distorted reflection of who they once were. Memories can be stolen, rewritten, or weaponized. In the city of Korr Vale, survival depends on knowing which version of someone you’re dealing with… and whether it’s even really them. Dren Auren is one of the rare few born with the ability to resist full Echo corruption though it comes at a cost. Haunted by unstable flashes of lives he never lived, he works as a rogue operative, hunting dangerous Echoes for the highest bidder. But when a failed mission draws the attention of Echo Prime, a godlike Echo claiming to be Dren’s own future self, his life fractures beyond repair. Echo Prime’s plan is simple: fuse every version of Dren across the timelines into a single, “perfect” being. The process will annihilate all other selves including the Dren who stands in his way. Dren’s only hope is Veyna, a resourceful fighter with secrets of her own secrets that tie her fate to his in ways neither of them understand. Together, they must navigate a city riddled with political betrayals, memory storms, and Echo-controlled territories, racing toward the Breach the tear in reality where the war began. But the closer they get, the more Dren begins to question who the real enemy is. Is Echo Prime just another fractured soul fighting for survival… or is he the only version of Dren willing to do what’s necessary to save them all? In a world where identity can be stolen and love may not belong to the person you think, The Echo War asks one question: If you could destroy every version of yourself except one… would you?

The grand hall of the Phoenix family estate was filled with people, all waiting with baited breath for the arrival of the exiled grandson. Finally, the doors at the far end of the room swung open and the crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Nicholas strode confidently into the room. He was tall and mysterious, with an air of authority that overwhelmed everyone present. He wore a diamond encrusted face mask which only had two openings revealing his piercing blue eyes. His dark hair was styled in a sleek, modern cut, and he wore a tailored suit that showed off his broad shoulders and athletic build. As he made his way through the crowd, people reached out to touch him, as if to confirm that he was real. He was Lord Fitzpatrick favorite grandson, returned from exile after three years of being away from his family and his home. The family conference meeting was held in the grand dining hall of the family's estate. The tables and chairs had been pushed to the sides of the room, leaving a clear space in the center. The entire family, including his parents, aunts, uncles, stepmother's, concubines and cousins, had gathered and were now kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed in shame. Nicholas stood in the center of the room, looking down at his family with a mixture of shock and confusion. He had been falsely accused of poisoning his late grandfather and had been shunned by his family for three years. These people bowing before him were the ones who casted him away, made him an outsider. Now he was going to be their Lord and master. At the front of the room, The family's patriarch, his father stepped forward and knelt down on the floor. "Welcome home, our Lord."

Under the tyrannical reign of Eternity Corp, time is no longer an abstract concept, it is a physical commodity known as liquefied Time Core that can be bought, stolen, and siphoned directly from the human body via digital timers embedded in the wrist. The city is fractured into two extreme worlds: the Upper District, inhabited by elites possessing boundless immortality, and the squalid Lower District, where the impoverished suffocate in the gutters simply because they ran out of seconds to breathe. Axel is a former Liquidator, the number-one tactical enforcer and crown prince of Eternity Corp, engineered to be the ultimate cybernetic weapon. However, after witnessing his own father, Adrian , callously let his mother perish to preserve corporate profits, Axel chose rebellion. The price for his defection was devastating: Axel was framed by his half-brother, Valen, injected with Chronos Decay, a terminal cyber-virus that systematically ravages his heart, and cast out into the Lower District with a remaining lifespan of merely 29 days. Clinging to life and shrouded in his rigid black tactical frock coat, Axel is salvaged by Rhea, a skilled cyber-mechanic and operator of an emergency logistics clinic in the slums. Cold, ruthless, and efficient, Axel refuses to remain a victim. Instead of crawling back to beg for a lifespan quota, he weaponizes his dwindling days into a literal countdown for a radical, suicidal infiltration mission. The stakes skyrocket when Adrian deploys a wireless Vampire Drain protocol from above, siphoning the lifespans of the Lower District's citizens, including Rhea, to bait Axel out of the shadows. For Axel, this is no longer a battle for survival. This is his final logistical calculation to ensure that the exact moment the digital timer on his wrist strikes absolute zero, his father's tyrannical empire collapses alongside him into ash.

There was an accident that made a widow have to lose her life. The widow was named Marni. And after her death, she terrorized her village. At first no one thought that the terror came from Marni.

Every night there are still disturbances from the ghost. He did the investigation again. And at the end, he gets a hint from a letter written by his father before he died. That it was his father who had accidentally bumped into Marni and buried her in that place. Because of that he also conveyed an apology from his father to Marni. But somehow, it did not make the terror disappear. A few days later, a villager was found horribly dead. A few days later, another person was also found dead in almost the same condition. It was later discovered that the two people who died horribly were people who had acted pervertedly to Marni. Marni, who finds out that she is pregnant, decides to commit suicide. However, before that happened, she was killed by a car driven by his father Thomas.

BLURB Alex had everything. A father’s name, a company built with his blood, and a home that was supposed to be his forever. Until Victoria came. In 48 hours, his entire world collapsed. His father died. The will left him with nothing. His name was dragged through the news for a fraud he never committed. And the only house left in his name became a trap with cops waiting at the door. He ran hrough empty streets, through the night, through a forest where no one could hear him scream. But running didn’t save him. A group of masked men found him first. When he woke up, he wasn’t dead. He was in a strange room with white walls, bandages on his arms, and two nurses who couldn’t be more different. One was kind, the other, Karina who turned out to be his first harem, looked at him like he was trouble waiting to happen. He was alive because of a man he’d never met. Mr. Giffs. The owner of this place. A man who rescues people “in need.” But nothing in this place is free. “You’re on the run, right?” Karina asks him on the third day, her red hair falling over her face as she sits on the edge of his bed. “Yes.” “Then Mr. Giffs thinks you’ll be fit for the circuit.” “Circuit?” . “The question is… are you willing to draw blood for blood?” Now Alex has a choice. Stay broken and let Victoria win. Or fight back in a world where the only way to survive is to become the very thing that tried to destroy him. A story of betrayal, survival, and revenge. When they take everything from you… how far will you go to take it back?
