Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Betrayed on the battlefield and left to die beneath a burning sky, Princess Emily of Norvale should have vanished with her fallen kingdom. But fate had other plans. When she opens her eyes again, she’s no longer a warrior drenched in blood but a fragile girl in a foreign city, carrying the same face and name as her own. The new Emily lives a life of pain and humiliation: a cold father, a cruel stepmother, a sister who steals her love and her dignity. Until the day they push her too far. The princess who once commanded armies awakens inside that broken shell, and this time, she’s not fighting for a crown she’s fighting for vengeance. Her enemies wear masks of love. Her allies hide in shadows. And standing at the center of her new world is Timothy Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire feared by all and bound to her by an unwanted marriage. He’s cold, calculating, and untouchable. The kind of man who destroys anyone who crosses him. But when he looks at her, something inside him changes and when she looks at him, something inside her burns. In a world ruled by money, secrets, and power, Emily must hide who she truly is while tearing apart the people who murdered her. But the deeper she falls into this new life, the harder it becomes to tell whether Timothy is her greatest enemy… or the only man willing to burn the world for her.

The one curse even death could not contain. Everyone believes the Devil’s Curse was destroyed long ago. But the truth is simpler, and far more terrifying: It was reborn as a human. A human with no Sorcery System, in a world where magic defines life itself. Yet the moment its past awakens, a forbidden interface reappears: > [Cursed System: Reactivation—10%] [Objective: Regain full power by breaking every Sorcery System] [Status: Hidden] He's enrolled in the elite Academy of Sorcery, the very institution created to train the strongest sorcerers to exorcise curses like him. No one—not even his renowned sorcerer father—knows the truth.

After reading the LotM webnovel, then watching the recent donghua, I've realised that Lord of Mysteries and Good Pacing will never be friends. Novel? Too slow! Donghua? Way to fast! So I decided, why not make my own version, not any of your usual "definitive way to watch/read blah blah blah," but just a fun project, one that aims to make Lord of Mysteries a true gem by fixing its pacing. __________________________________________________________ With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a "Beyonder?" Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears? Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian-era world — a world bristling with cannons, dreadnoughts, airships and difference machines, alongside Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, and Sealed Artifacts. The Light continues to shine, but mystery never strays far. As Klein becomes entangled with the world’s churches— both orthodox and unorthodox, he slowly develops strange and powerful abilities via the “Beyonder” potions. Like the tarot card “The Fool” number 0, symbolizing infinite potential— this is the legend of “The Fool.”

Obsessed with control. The man she prayed she would never see again. And he doesn’t recognize her. But he feels her. Watches her. Claims her. He wants her as his personal assistant— and Aurielle has no choice but to accept. Because she’s not just any applicant. She’s the hidden daughter of the D’Angelo empire— erased from the family before she ever took her first breath. And Kieran? He’s the heir they raised in her place. The man whose child she secretly carried. Two stolen identities. One dangerous truth. A son who can destroy an empire. And when Kieran’s dark, charming cousin Dante returns… obsessed, hungry, and determined to take Aurielle for himself— the family war ignites. A mother with secrets. A billionaire who owns her future. A cousin who wants her past. A child who belongs to all of them. This isn’t a romance. It’s a battle for blood, power, and the one woman who can shatter the D’Angelo throne.

In Illuminés, the City of a Thousand Lights, power belongs to alphas and obedience is carved into the bones of omegas. Soren was supposed to be safe a beta, invisible, untouchable. But fate branded him with the rarest mark: an Omega Dominant, a living anomaly whose beauty could ignite wars and whose scent could bend kings to their knees. He hides behind layers of powder and lies, serving in the Palace of Golden Ashes where predators roam and secrets bleed through gilded walls. Every breath is a gamble, every glance a blade.

Ryu Alverion was never a prodigy. He was nature’s failure... reshaped into the Dominion’s future nightmare. Two living entities nested inside his skull: one, the lingering ghost of a dead hacking god; the other, a feral shadow that craved power, blood, and human minds. When the truth about his father finally surfaced, the shadow didn’t just awaken. It devoured him... ripping out every emotion, hollowing his soul, and leaving behind a flat-faced execution machine that didn’t even understand who he was killing. And when VASENA tried to contain him... when they believed they could cage a boy... that was the moment they realized their greatest mistake: They hadn’t captured a student. They hadn’t even captured a weapon. They had captured the beginning of a catastrophe capable of tearing the Dominion of Astryx apart from the inside. A storm with a heartbeat. A void wearing a child's name. A walking endgame. And it was already too late to stop him.

Wait… are you serious?” “Mm.” He gave a small nod. “You said it would promote the café, right?” She blinked, forgetting her anger for a moment. He was looking at her with unnerving calmness. “It’s a gay dating show,” she stressed, emphasizing the word as though he might have missed it. “So?” he asked casually. “You’re straight,” she tried again, slower this time, giving him a chance to process. “Right?” His eyebrow lifted. “Is that supposed to be a problem?” Her mouth opened. Nothing came out.
