She has never lost a case. Not because she defends the innocent— but because she understands something no one else does: Truth can be constructed. Seo Hae-in is the most feared defense attorney in the country. Elegant. Unreadable. Untouchable. When she takes on the most disturbing case of the decade— a father accused of violating and murdering his own child— the public turns against her instantly. The evidence is flawless. The crime is undeniable. Even the man believes he did it. There’s only one problem. He remembers nothing. Not a blur. Not a mistake. A perfect, unnatural void. As Hae-in begins to dismantle the case, she uncovers something far more terrifying than guilt— A mind that didn’t break… but was used. Because this isn’t just a murder trial. It’s proof that a human being can be turned into something else— …and never remember becoming it.

the sudden death of her husband and facing mounting financial ruin, Dani moves her teenage daughter, Alex, out of the city and into a remote, recently renovated wooden house that belonged to Alex's late grandmother. While Dani claims the move is purely to save money, the old estate immediately gives Alex an unsettling, claustrophobic feeling—marked by shifting curtains, flickering lights, and a massive portrait of her grandmother that seems to watch her every move. The unease deepens the next morning when the tap water runs thick, dark, and murky. Despite the creeping dread, Alex goes to school and connects with her best friend, Milly. Looking to escape her own empty home for the weekend, Milly accompanies Alex back to the isolated house. While exploring the upper floors, disaster strikes: a rotting floorboard snaps, and Alex plummets through the ceiling into a hidden, pitch-black cellar. Deep beneath the house, Alex discovers an iron lantern burning with an eerie blue flame, a water-damaged diary, and a sinister warning carved into a crate: The house does not sleep when the blood is in the well. Before she can escape, a terrifying entity resembling her dead grandmother attacks in the dark, while upstairs, a frantic Milly is terrorized by a silhouette clawing at the window. By morning, the true horror is revealed. It was never a ghost story; it is the dawn of a biological zombie outbreak. The city has already collapsed, and Dani's true motive was to use the isolated house as a survival bunker. However, they are already too late—an ancient, aggressive pathogen has contaminated the property's well water. After drinking tea brewed from the tainted supply, Milly rapidly turns into a feral, ravenous monster. With the freshly turned Milly hunting them from inside and a horde of infected neighbors blocking the main gates outside, Alex and Dani must launch a desperate, high-speed escape in their Ford car, driving directly into a foggy, desolate countryside to face a ruined world.

When a trainee space mission ends in disaster, Mia and her crew crash-land in a world that shouldn’t exist. Stranded in a vast, prehistoric swamp with their spacecraft destroyed and no way to call for help, they quickly realize something is terribly wrong. The air is heavier. The forest is ancient. And the silence hides things far too large to ignore. As night falls and unseen predators move beneath the water, the crew faces a terrifying truth: they are no longer in their own time—or perhaps not even the same Earth. Whatever brought them here has rewritten the rules of survival. With no weapons, no shelter, and no understanding of where—or when—they are, Mia must find her place among the group as they venture deeper into a world where extinction is not history… it’s happening around them.

"A malicious incident has occurred at our city hospital, a patient has taken medical staff hostage, and is now in a standoff with the police..." Yang Xiao turned off the TV, and the next second, a call came through, "Son, release the doctor now. There are police all around; you can't escape!" As if to prove the woman's words, the police sirens outside grew louder one after another, and there was also movement in the hallway. "It's fake, all fake. This is the Nightmare World. Otherwise, why would your call still come through after I cut the phone line?" Yang Xiao glared at the fallen phone line, his face twisted ferociously.

In a technologically advanced future where elite academies compete for prestige, eleven exceptional students receive a mysterious invitation to participate in The Chrysalis Initiative, a secretive tournament reputed to challenge the world’s most brilliant minds. Within an advanced simulation, the participants are assigned concealed roles as Hunters or Survivors. With no certainty of who stands on which side—and with roles capable of shifting between rounds—alliances begin to form even as doubt quietly takes root. As the tournament progresses, every interaction becomes a test of perception and every decision a calculated risk. Trust begins to erode, and the students find themselves questioning not only those around them, but their own judgment, instincts, and sense of self. In a system built upon deception and survival, the question is no longer who will win, but how far someone can be pushed before losing the very humanity they are trying to protect.

Above the lofty tranquility, a pair of world-dominating gray eyes are slowly opening. Pei Ye raises his head, pulling the Longsword from his stomach: "Immortal Lord of the True Dragon Taiyi... let's see, who is whose prey."

I dream! Not of the future to be won, but the past I had lost—— . . . "You have a noble, inquiring mind, Your Highness!" "My mind inquires..." I was young enough then to think that people were books that wanted to be read. "...only to get a better understanding of you, My Lady." "While you're at it," she said, her elegant smile fixed even as she took a half-step back, "I advise you to cease marching any further." She said 'advice'...—beep... beep... beep! But it felt like a warning! My feet obeyed her and stopped, but my heart didn't. "Then, as per My Lady's command, I shall remain fixed at this post, until your words, I will know only what you choose to show me..." I thought it was the right choice only to let you drown in silence, "... Aurelia." . . . Snap! "You called for her again," said a woman in white coat. ——even before the beginning.

What happens when a fictional character becomes aware that stories can be created, consumed, rewritten, and discarded?

We've all read those mafia romances. The one where the godly handsome, picture-perfect, extremely ruthless mafia king rejects all the gorgeous, sexy ladies ( even though he's slept with half of them ) for the beautiful, innocent, untouched, holier-than-thou common woman who only marries him to pay off her sick grandma's medical bills and then slowly ends up falling for him. This is not one of those stories. Excerpt: Lynx stepped a little closer to his target, his intentions far from subtle. "Having a good night?" he asked, pretending to watch the couples swaying across the ballroom floor. "Why wouldn't I be?" Shayna replied without looking at him. "Merely observing," Lynx chuckled. "Are you missing someone?" he continued, staring ahead. "Are there no other beautiful women for you to entertain?" Shayna whispered, slightly annoyed. "There are," he admitted, his chest rising slightly. "But there is only one I can't seem to look away from." A faint blush crept across Shayna's cheeks before she turned her head. "And what exactly do you want from this lucky woman?" A smile tugged at his lips. "A dance, perhaps. And a smoke afterwards." .......................................................................... Shayna Hazel Alonso doesn't qualify as a lady by any known definition of the word. She smokes too much, curses like a sailor, and hates male chivalry from the depths of her heart. But she has a secret. Shayna lives a double life as a corporate employee who just wants to get through the day and Vixen, the underworld's infamous prodigy, who unfortunately attracts the most questionable kinds of people. After years of betrayal—first by the father who sold her into prostitution, and then by the people she once believed were just like her—Shayna has finally learned not to trust anyone. And for the last time, she does not want to deal with any more shit. Naturally, life has other plans. So what happens when she ends up stealing from the one person nobody in their right mind would ever cross? In the underworld, everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. Until they do. And that's when people become, for lack of a better phrase... Morally Fucked. P.S. The FMC of the story is strictly child-free and will remain so throughout the story. I will publish 1 bonus chapter per 200 collections and 2 bonus chapters per 20 golden tickets.
