abandoned

Kenichi is a detective born with spiritual energy and the ability to confront horrors that ordinary law enforcement cannot perceive. As he navigates his dangerous reality, he must also uncover the mystery about his family.

Her husband had a dream to become the strongest Alpha and unite the Eastern regions. So for five years, Rena Mirel buried herself in research to create something that could make her husband's dream come true. Yet, just when success was within reach, Rena realised her entire life was nothing more than a lie. After discovering her marriage was nothing more than a carefully staged sham, she lost everything in one devastating blow. And the man she once called husband was preparing to marry another woman, as if their life together never existed. As though to him, she was simply disposable. To the world, she was foolish. But grief is a dangerous thing when it hardens into resolve. So when Rhys Carter, Rogue Billionaire, powerful, ruthless, and nothing like the weak man she once loved, shows interest in her research, she is faced with a choice. Stay broken… Or rise. This time, she’s not choosing a scumbag. She’s choosing power. And the Alpha she plans to pick does not lose.

I was the bride. I was the daughter they abandoned. All I wanted was love… but all I got was betrayal.

I've spent four years as a monster broker in the largest underground market in the world. Buy low, sell high, never ask what happens after the transaction. Simple rules. Clean money. Then my ability flagged a cage in the back of Hunter Alley as an error. Classification failure. First time in four years that had ever happened. I looked inside. There was a girl. Sixteen years old. Rope marks on her wrists. She looked at me and said one word. Please. That was three weeks ago. Since then I've learned that she isn't the only one. That someone has been running a procedure for five years that turns ordinary people into products the monster market will accept without question. That seventeen people have gone through it. That six of them didn't come out the other side. I've also learned that the man behind it has a sponsor nobody can identify. That a noble house is using the results for military research. That the Church is running a secret facility and attending every auction where a human specimen is registered. And that the leader of the most powerful criminal organization in the known world has put my name on a list. I'm nineteen. I have no money, no weapons, and no plan that doesn't have at least three ways to go catastrophically wrong. But the girl in that cage said please. And I've never been able to leave a mystery alone. The system sells people. I'm going to find out who built it.

Eleven centuries after our existence, a new world has emerged. All nations now live on a single land, united under one supreme god in absolute supremacy. But is this truly a perfect world? If we are all equals, then why do superior races still exist, while others are cast aside as societal waste? Divided by golden domes, each person dreams of becoming a “Perfect”, a being purified of all emotions and perfectly sane, a being stripped of feelings in pursuit of eternal life. But at what cost? That is why they were born... The "Tracks Emotional", beings who possess only a single, pure emotion, were created to destroy all threats that transcend the nature of our world. From corrupted emotions arise the “Transemotional”, born mostly from the Fosse, and driven by unstable genetics or devouring feelings. They transform into massive, uncontrollable shadows that relentlessly attack the domes. All they have are their dreams.

As secrets begin to surface and truths slowly unfold… He realizes one thing too late— He didn’t just leave her. He left her to break. And now… He will have to face the truth of that night.

In a world where power decides fate, the weak are forgotten. The world of Tianyuan is ruled by cultivators—individuals who absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in pursuit of immortality. Sects rise and fall, powerful experts dominate the skies, and countless lives vanish on the cruel path of cultivation. When Lin Mo awakens in this dangerous world after the end of his previous life, he quickly understands one simple truth: He is weak. With poor spiritual roots and little talent, Lin Mo is ignored by the elders of the Azure Cloud Sect and assigned a quiet, insignificant job—caretaker of the Outer Sect Library. But hidden within the dusty shelves of forgotten books, Lin Mo discovers something no one else has noticed. A mysterious ancient book. A silent inheritance left behind by an unknown master. Unlike other cultivation methods that rely on brute force and talent, the **Silent Library teaches a different path**—one of observation, understanding, and hidden meridians that most cultivators have never even heard of. While others fight fiercely for resources and recognition, Lin Mo cultivates quietly among ancient books and forgotten knowledge. Every page he reads reveals another secret of heaven and earth. Every hidden pathway he opens brings him closer to unimaginable power. And no one in the Azure Cloud Sect realizes that the quiet librarian they ignore is slowly walking a path that may one day shake the entire cultivation world. Because sometimes… The most dangerous cultivator is the one no one notices.

The man she trusted most left her bleeding in the dark, her last moments filled with betrayal, regret, and one unanswered question: "Why?" Then she woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. Somewhere worse. Welcome to the Backrooms: an endless maze of humming fluorescent lights and damp, yellowed wallpaper. In this liminal purgatory, the dead don’t rest, and the broken don’t stay human for long. One hundred floors. One chance to come back. Fail, and she’s gone forever. She doesn't want peace. She doesn't want a second chance. She's given up on answers. She has one wish, and it's a death sentence for the man who sent her here.

It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

"You may not remember your past... but someone else does." A cybersecurity expert becomes the target of a mysterious hacker who seems to know everything about her life. But the deeper she investigates… the more dangerous the truth becomes. Kiara Kapoor's life was divided into before and after the accident. Before - a childhood full of memories she once treasured. After - a blank space where those memories used to exist. Doctors called it memory loss. To Kiara, it felt like pieces of her life had simply... disappeared. But forgotten memories don't always stay gone. Somewhere in the shadows of the internet, a hacker known only as Vishwa begins appearing in Kiara's life. Private messages she never shared. Old secrets she can't even remember. Fragments of a past she thought was lost forever. Someone is watching her. Someone who knows every detail of the childhood she forgot. And slowly, dangerously, Vishwa begins pulling the strings of Kiara's life - exposing truths, breaking trust, and turning her world into a puzzle she doesn't understand. Because sometimes the most dangerous enemy... is the one you once trusted the most. And sometimes revenge begins with a simple message: "Some memories disappear. Others come back for revenge."

Hong Tianqi was born with nothing remarkable about him. Orphaned young, raised at the edge of a forgotten village, he scraped by on herb runs and borrowed knowledge until the day he first circulated qi and something behind his eyes opened that had no business being there. He tested as Mortal Grade at thirteen. No sect fought over him. That was fine. He had already seen enough with those eyes to know which path to take, and it was not the obvious one. Qingmu Sect was a joke. Three elders past their prime, disciples on the wrong cultivation paths, formations that had been rotting for decades, a reputation so poor that nearby villages had stopped sending their children. Nobody watches the bottom of the barrel. Nobody asks questions about quiet progress. Nobody notices when things start improving in ways they cannot quite explain.

Isidore Davenant has built his life out of glass walls and iron resolve. A wealthy omega, he is a man who has raised his son Julian with only his own strength, vowing that no other hand would ever lay claim to what is his. But when the world intrudes—when Julian stares at a television screen and innocently declares he wants that man to be his father—Isidore’s carefully guarded world begins to fracture. That man is Tristan Ashford: golden, untouchable, with eyes like ice and a smile that dazzles millions. To the world he is a star, a hero cast in firelight, but to Isidore he is something far darker—an echo of nights he has tried to bury, a presence that once marked his body and left him with scars no one else can see. When fate thrusts Tristan back into his orbit, Isidore cannot escape the cruel symmetry of it: the man he hates is the same man his son adores. Old wounds reopen, and long-buried truths threaten to unravel. Isidore must decide whether to keep his walls intact—or face the storm of a past that refuses to stay silent. In a city of gleaming towers and shadows, love and vengeance are tangled threads. And Isidore learns that sometimes the most dangerous battlefield is not the courtroom or the screen—but the heart itself.

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

"How can you smile like that when neither of your fathers are here at your own wedding reception?" Pond asked, eyeing Dunk, who stood in the gallery, smiling towards his newly-wedded husband. Dunk's smile didn't waver, but his eyes darkened. He turned to Pond, voice sharp, "Do you think I don't care? That I'd go against them on purpose?" Pond responded without hesitation, "Aren't you doing exactly that?" "No, I'm not," Dunk snapped. His voice dropped lower, colder. "I'm standing here for my pride-the same pride he crushed. I'm not a child who goes crying to his parents. He destroyed me, P'Pond. Now it's my turn. I'm going to destroy his life-completely." Pond looked shaken. "You can't marry someone for revenge, Dunk. I told you-I'm here for you. I'll never let anyone from the Guthithanan family hurt you again." Dunk's voice cracked as he exploded, "But he crossed the line that night!" He scanned the room and quickly pulled Pond into a quieter corner. His voice was low and furious. "He shattered everything I had. And now, with this marriage, I'm going to make him live with the consequences. He's trapped with me now-forever. I won't let him walk away so easily." His gaze flicked across the room-directly to Joong, who stood beside Sarawat, calmly speaking to a business partner. Joong caught Dunk's stare and instinctively looked his way. Dunk raised his champagne glass with a mocking smile. A toast to war. Joong clenched his jaw, returning the gesture coolly-but his burning eyes slid to Pond, full of rage and warning.

Accused of the murder of his twin sister, Elren Winter is forced to flee from the law he was trained to uphold. Stripped of his title, name and face, Ren finds refuge amongst a wandering caravan named after the legendary 'Garden of Roses'. Hunted by the state, he must adapt to a way of life that finds life and meaning outside of state mandates.

Nille F. Tsukuyomi, great-grandson of Amparo Pilar Fajardo and Takeshi Tsukuyomi, carries in his veins the hidden legacy of the spirits that dwell between the human realm and the unseen worlds. A mark etched upon his right shoulder bears witness to this power, a silent sigil of destinies intertwined. Born of both Filipino and Japanese blood, he is also a direct descendant of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, the crescent moon etched beneath his tattooed Enlil symbol glowing with quiet significance. Towering at six feet, with silver-gray eyes that pierce through darkness and long black hair that flows like midnight, Nille stands as a living convergence of two ancient mythologies. In a world teetering on the edge of war, haunted by the remnants of forgotten gods and restless spirits, he must navigate the duality of his heritage, awakening powers drawn from both the ancestral spirits of the earth and the divine luminescence of the moon. Enemies lurk in every shadow, drawn to the strength and legacy he carries—those who would seek to claim it, and those who would destroy it. Yet Nille’s path is not only one of survival; it is a journey of identity, of destiny, and of mastering the delicate balance between mortal blood and divine essence. In his veins flows the pulse of ancient worlds. In his heart burns the struggle between human will and celestial inheritance. And the fate of both realms may hinge upon the choices of this extraordinary scion, whose very presence is a bridge between what is seen…and what is eternal. If you want, I can also craft an even more cinematic, “opening-novel style” version that reads like the first paragraph of an epic fantasy, with a sense of impending war, mystery, and supernatural grandeur, it would
