HIDE OR SEEK

twinklebooks
Yvessirae thought she had won the academic lottery when she was accepted into the prestigious St. Jude’s University. Known for its elite education and world-class quality, the campus is a dream of ivory towers and golden opportunities. But as the sun sets on her very first day, Rae discovers the horrifying truth behind the school’s high graduation rate: at 8:00 PM, the university stops being a school and becomes a deadly playground. The Rules of the Game When the "Midnight Bell" tolls, the school plunges into an unnatural darkness. The doors lock from the inside, and a monstrous entity known as The Seeker begins its hunt. The students are forced into a high-stakes game of Hide-and-Seek. There is only one way to survive the night: find a hidden, cursed artifact—like the Gold Whistle—before the timer hits zero. The Loop If a student is caught or killed by the Seeker, they don't stay dead. Instead, they experience the agonizing "Reset." They wake up in their dorm beds at 7:05 AM, feeling every ounce of the pain from the night before, forced to relive the same day over and over again. Most students have given up, hiding under their beds in a cycle of eternal terror. The Conflict Rae is taken under the wing of two seasoned "players," Maia and Dvora. They reveal that once you enter the gates of St. Jude’s, you can never leave; the school’s curse follows you wherever you go. While Maia and Dvora have grown cynical after countless "deaths," Rae is determined to break the cycle. But as the items become harder to find and the Seeker grows more aggressive, Rae begins to realize that the "Game" isn't just about survival—it’s a puzzle designed to consume their souls. To escape, she must find the one item that actually ended the loop once before... and discover why the person who found it vanished forever.

MY HIDDEN TALENT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE HEAVENS

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

Thus, "The Travels of Rex Lapis" was born, throwing Liyue Harbor into instant chaos! "This author truly understands the Lord of Geo!" "Is this considered blasphemy against the Emperor?" Zhongli held his teacup, lost in thought: "This perspective... hmm, quite novel." However, Lovia was just getting started: The name Morax conceals twin gods and a life-and-death pact. "The Lord of Geo and the Half-Price Bargain" The Agony of the Guardian Yakshas. The Secrets of Feiyun Commerce Guild. Dragonfall: I Am the Dragon King. The History of the Guizhong Altar: Wrath of the Gods. When her "fan fiction" accurately revealed the hidden truths of Liyue's legends, the entire nation was in turmoil! Finally, the socially awkward girl was found by a beautiful Melusine from Fontaine (her kin). "Sorry I'm late." The once lonely Lovia never imagined she would find a home. But years later, a distinguished guest with elegant features and amber eyes personally came to her door... Lovia (trembling): "Your Majesty... would you believe me if I said I made it all up?" Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"
