The Mariner's Codex: The Second Attempt

The discovery of the Mariner’s Codex—an indestructible, 12,000-year-old crystalline manuscript found in a non-Euclidean chamber beneath the Atlantic—shatters the line between history and cosmic truth. For skeptical historian Lia Vance and brilliant physicist Marcus Chen, the ancient text is a beacon. It transmits frequencies that wake dormant evolutionary consciousness, selecting them and six other students (The Seven Frequencies) for an irreversible transformation. But studying the forbidden knowledge attracts the things that guard the boundaries of reality: the hostile Daemons (beings of smokeless fire) and the personalized, psychological torment of the Doppelgangers. When their professor vanishes, the Seven are forced into the university’s hidden catacombs, realizing the "invasion" is a devastating Exodus. 34,000 refugees from a collapsing parallel dimension are seeking asylum, fleeing a terrifying cosmic entity known as The Consumption—a conscious impulse that dissolves dimensions into formless rest. The stakes are absolute: Lia and the Seven must risk their minds and identities to merge consciousness with the refugees, pioneering the Hybrid Awareness that will create a new human species. They have eight days to make the civilization-defining choice between mercy and caution, knowing their compassion could save 34,000 souls... or doom their own world to consumption. The Second Attempt has begun. Success means irreversible evolution. Failure means universal dissolution.

The Vampire's King Pet

Alexander walked into the room, dressed in his royal white robe that shimmered faintly under the soft glow of the candlelight. His dark hair was slicked back neatly, revealing a face carved with precision and power — sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and lips that curved with quiet confidence. His midnight eyes, deep and commanding, scanned the room before landing on the figure sitting gracefully at the edge of the bed. Serena. Her emerald-green eyes locked with his, stealing his breath for a moment. The flickering light danced across her skin, giving her an ethereal glow. Her long ginger hair cascaded down her shoulders like streams of fire and sunlight combined, adorned with delicate golden hairpins that shimmered with every movement. She was dressed in a flowing white gown that mirrored his — simple yet enchanting, the fabric hugging her form in all the right places, making her seem like a divine vision come to life. For a brief moment, Alexander simply stared, unable to speak. Then, almost reverently, he crossed the room and knelt before her. His cold, powerful hands gently took hers — smaller, softer, trembling ever so slightly. “You look…” he paused, his voice low and rough, “…breathtaking.” Serena’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink, her lips parting slightly as she met his gaze. “You always know what to say,” she whispered, her tone barely above a breath. He smiled faintly — that rare, almost forbidden smile that softened his usually stoic face. “Careful, Serena,” he murmured, his thumb tracing circles over her knuckles. “If you keep looking at me like that, you’ll make me lose myself.” Her eyes softened, the corner of her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Then lose yourself my king," she replied, her voice calm yet filled with unspoken desire. "lose yourself.... In me." Alexander didn't hesitate. He rose to his feet, his hands cupping her jaw as his thumb brushed against her lower lips. Their eyes met one more- predator and , darkness and light before he closed the distance between them. His lips crashed against hers, hungry and desperate, as if the world outside no longer mattered, Serena responded with equal passion, her hands tangling in his dark hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them.

Mo Lianyin was once the youngest elder of the prestigious Fallen Snow Sect, a prodigy destined to rise beyond the clouds. He believed in loyalty, in love, in the unshakable bonds of brotherhood. All of that shattered in a single day. His sworn brother, the lover he cherished, and the master he revered — each struck him down, leaving his body broken and his heart in ruins. Cast into the frozen wilderness, Mo Lianyin should have died. Instead, he stumbled upon the forbidden Seven Arts of the Moon’s Shadow — techniques whispered to consume the soul in exchange for unparalleled power.

On The Edge of The Abyss

Prologue, 1944: Captain Wolfgang von Witzland watches his men execute an SS officer. Three years ago, he believed in honor and justice. Now he only wonders if there's a difference between the two. ARC I: The Middle Kingdom The neutral Hanseatic Empire sends two young officers to China on a technical military mission. It fails spectacularly. But for Captain Kylian von Reichsgraf, the mission yields something more dangerous than diplomatic embarrassment: Princess Changning of the crumbling Jin Dynasty. Their attraction violates every protocol. When Japan invades and Changning flees to Hansa as part of a court in exile, the forbidden becomes impossible—a Chinese princess in a Hanseatic empire, a military officer who cannot protect her, and a love that makes them both vulnerable. ARC II: The Empire of Hansa War transforms ideals into weapons. Kylian becomes an interrogator for Imperial Intelligence, trading his conscience for operational necessity. Each confession extracted corrodes another piece of who he was. Wolfgang, stationed on the Western Front against Germany, falls for a French resistance fighter. When she's murdered by on the order of an SS officer, he allows his men to commit an atrocity in revenge—learning that righteous rage and monstrous action wear the same face. Changning builds a new life in Hansa, but her relationship with Kylian brands her a traitor. Chinese nationalist assassins hunt her while Hanseatic society treats her as a curiosity at best, a threat at worst. When Wolfgang's unsanctioned revenge sabotages Kylian's crucial intelligence operation, the two collide in a reckoning that forces them to confront the people they've become and the prices they've paid. ARC III: Aftermath As the war ends,they stand not as the people they were, but as the architects of what comes next. Kylian, leaving behind his career, is free to build a life with Changning on his own terms, no longer bound by blind duty. Wolfgang returns home, his idealism tempered into the shrewd, resilient leadership his Duchy will need in a fractured world. And Changning, though exiled, has forged a new identity and a powerful voice, ready to help shape the future from the ashes of the old. Schedule: 2 Chapters/week.

Rise of the Strategic God

Rise of the Strategic God Leonidas was nobody. A young man who wasted his life on strategy games, dreaming of battles he would never fight. That dream ended with a sudden death—and began anew with a cruel twist of fate. Thrown into an ancient world bristling with rival empires, Leonidas was not granted a throne, nor a crown, nor even a loyal army like the other transmigrated rulers. Instead, he opened his eyes as a Spartan peasant, the lowest brick in a towering wall of war. The others began as kings, queens, and generals. He began as nothing. But Leonidas has what they do not: the System. A power that reveals the hidden strengths, weaknesses, and loyalty of every soldier, every artisan, every talent he encounters. Where other rulers command blindly, Leonidas sees potential waiting to be forged. From the brutal training grounds of Sparta to the blazing furnaces of Taygeton, from crushing betrayals to desperate last stands, Leonidas must claw his way up step by step, molding broken men into steel and carving out his place among gods of war. Rivals lead through fear, zealotry, and bloodshed. Leonidas leads through vision, patience, and unyielding strategy. Every victory earns him gifts—soldiers reborn, armies reforged, powers whispered by the System itself. Every conquest brings him closer to the truth: that this is not just a proving ground of men, but the first step into a galactic war where rulers become gods. The waves are coming. Empires rise and fall. The world will kneel to one banner. And Leonidas intends it to be his.
