Jasmine's life had always been a cage, and Alaric, her stepbrother, held the key. His control began subtly, a seemingly protective concern that slowly twisted into a possessive obsession. As the Alpha, his power was absolute. He dictated her friendships, forbade any romantic relationships, and stripped her of all personal freedom. Her one hope was her twenty-first birthday—a milestone that promised to change everything. She fantasized about finding her true mate, breaking free from Alaric's suffocating grip, and finally living a life of her own. But destiny, it seemed, had a cruel sense of humor. On the eve of her birthday, her hopes shattered. The person meant to be her one and only was the very man she despised—Alaric, her tormentor, her stepbrother. The thought of being bound to him was a fate worse than death. How could she be mated to the man who had stolen her youth? A man who would stop at nothing to possess her completely? But in a world where love sours into possession and possession draws blood, how far can one person truly run before they are forced to face the inevitable?

He was meant to drink her blood — not crave her soul. She was the blind girl who stumbled into a vampire’s lair. He should have killed her on sight — but her scent, her voice, her purity… bound him instead. Azael, the cold lord of darkness, finds his hunger turning into something far more dangerous — desire. And Elana, fragile yet brave, finds herself trapped in a world where mercy is a myth and monsters have hearts. But when her presence begins to awaken the part of him he swore was dead, the question becomes: Can a creature of night truly love the light that blinds him?

At first glance, this seems to be a story about a basketball player striving for the pinnacle of his career and invincibility. However, in reality, Ming You seeks victory not through traditional training and skill development, but through strategies, intrigues, injuries, violence, and murder. Ming You is willing to employ any means necessary to achieve his goal — becoming invincible and a talent in his field, namely basketball. In addition to the brutality required to secure victories, Ming You must contend not only with basketball teams but also with managers seeking maximum profit, as well as investigators and detectives, since murders cannot simply be ignored as Ming You would prefer.

When a fast‑moving viral outbreak turns ordinary people into raging flesh-eating creatures in a store parking lot, eleven-year-old Isabella and her seven-year-old brother Mateo end up trapped in their family minivan after watching their mother die horribly in front of them. With the infected outside, no keys, and almost no supplies, they’re left with an impossible choice: slowly starve in the van, or risk everything to reach the keys lying near their mother’s corpse. The Van is a grounded, slow-burning survival horror story about: -  Claustrophobic survival: The van is their shelter, their prison, and their whole world. Every decision, when to move, when to stay, when to open a door, can kill them. -  Child POV, adult stakes: The main characters are kids with no superpowers and no special training. Their fears are real, and they have to push through them, learn from their mistakes, and grow up fast if they want to live. -  Monsters and humans: The infected aren’t the only danger. Other survivors can be just as bad, or worse, and the echo of their mother’s lessons is the only guide they have for what survival really means. -  Psychology over power fantasy: Hypothermia, hunger, guilt, and fear hit harder than jump scares. Every “solution” they find comes with a price, and every action has a cost. If you like stories where survival is earned inch by inch, where kids are smart but still painfully human, and where there’s no leveling up or no upgrade screen coming to save anyone, The Van is for you.

[Warning: Contains violence, gore, adult scenes] What would happen if you died and entered a failed horror RPG game, becoming a character who shouldn't have existed, accompanied by five female ghosts: your ex-girlfriend, your ex-fiancé, and your ex-wife? That's the story of a 45-year-old senior game developer who died in his office. He entered a horror RPG game developed by his company that failed due to various factors. When he woke up, he immediately killed one of the main characters in the game, even though he wasn't the protagonist. The reason was because he became a character whose story was supposed to only be told once in the entire game, by the character he killed to the protagonist. He woke up just before being killed by a crucial character who, if chosen incorrectly, could become the game's most powerful hidden boss. He accidentally killed that character and escaped to live outside the game's storyline, along with the five ghosts of his exes who were dragged along with him into the game world that had now become his own. Finally, because he already knew the story, he chose to become the lord of the crypt with the ghosts of his five exes even though he didn't want to, without realizing that the ghosts of his five exes were actually his cheats.

This was a world on the verge of shattering. Endless, frigid seawater flooded every corner. Under collapsing laws, countless islands drifted aimlessly; a lonely figure sat upon a throne of rust; a decayed knight kept vigil through endless cycles of rebirth—everything lingered in torment… If Rogge, who had arrived by accident, wanted to uncover the secrets of this bizarre world, he would have to summon the creatures known as Candle Wraiths to serve him… … Brothers, I’ve discovered an absolute gem of a game! Exploration and adventure, fishing and farming, class progression, intense battles… You can set sail on a wooden raft, slay monsters to obtain powerful weapons, cultivate herbs to brew potions, and even pick up a fishing rod and cast your line into the deep to hook unknown ocean creatures… The only downside is that the game is just a tiny bit difficult… and maybe just a little… scary… But that’s no big deal! As long as we keep grinding and getting stronger, the Candlekeeper will unlock new islands for us and send us adventuring into more distant seas! Offer your heart to the Candlekeeper! Fight! Revel!

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash?

Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................
