Cassie is self-sabotaging, a dry sense of humour, a sultry melody, a sarcastic remark. She's a dead gaze, smudged eyeliner, a garden of withering red tulips, and... an addict. Etienne is indecisive, anxious, classically handsome, a teller of great stories. He's a smile that doesn't reach the eyes, a lit cigarette, an alternative rock song, and a bad friend. It all started when they were only six years old. And it hasn't stopped. It keeps happening. They weave in and out of each other's lives, with their strange connection to blame. Their bond is both strengthened and weakened by their shared traumas. Their relationship is a ballad about codependency and the electricity of first love. Their lives are an unmanageable mess that sees them dwell in the world of drugs, depression, and the multitude of young women being found dead in the Merseyside Area. They each must confront their faith in second chances, fate, and circumstance. ― ― ― ― ― And he's somewhere in the middle. But you can also find him at the beginning, and he'll be waiting for you by the end. He's everywhere. He is good with ropes, great at sketching, addicted to pornographic content. He hates his wife, hates his son, knows how to avoid leaving fingerprints on his victims.

FACE is a return-to-the-past mystery with cultivation-action, magic, and a focus on spirit herbs. May contain phycological elements because the eldritch horrors believe the MC's mind is delicious, and the whole world mistakes him for someone else. **MC's synopsis:** I united the continent of Auster only to be betrayed by my sworn brother. Time froze Castle Everest with my body trapped inside, and an eldritch horror arrived to devour me. Luckily, my soul escaped and took possession of a young boy. Who is this boy? Why does everyone want to kill or capture him? Worst of all, this body is so useless. At least, I've gained supernatural senses… Wait! Too much! Is this a blessing or a curse? Am I going crazy?

In a world once shaped by divine creators, Everest travels across distant lands with one simple goal — to reunite with Anan, the person he was never meant to lose.

What starts as a search for someone dear becomes a path toward understanding how even in a fractured world, connection can outlast everything.

Ye Shuang was nobody — a half-Indian, half-Chinese eighteen-year-old who spent his days dodging bullies and burying himself in murim novels, dreaming of a world where strength was the only thing that mattered. One ordinary morning, he saved a child from a speeding truck and died seconds later when the universe decided an intergalactic missile was a reasonable response to a good deed. He woke up as a newborn in the frozen wilderness of the murim world, only to watch his new parents cut down before his eyes and tumble alone into an icy ravine — left for dead in the harshest corner of a world that ate the weak for breakfast. But death had already tried him twice and failed. Raised not by a clan, not by a master, but by a yeti deep in the frozen mountains, Ye Shuang grows up outside every rule the murim world has ever written. No bloodline. No sect. No connections. He learns to hunt in blizzards, endure cold that would shatter cultivators twice his age, and awaken a rare frost-based constitution through sheer brutal circumstance. The mountains don't care about your background. They just ask whether you survive. When Ye Shuang finally descends into the world of murim, he finds a society built entirely on hierarchy — great sects, noble clans, and ancient families who have spent centuries deciding who deserves power and who deserves to kneel. A man with no name, no lineage, and no sect is nothing. Less than nothing. So he decides to build one from scratch. The Mount Everest Sect begins not with grand ceremony or inherited glory, but with one man, one mountain, and a refusal to accept the ceiling the world placed above his head. What follows is a brutal, often humbling, occasionally absurd journey through the underbelly of the murim world — earning allies who have nothing to lose, facing enemies who have everything, and slowly carving out a place that no one handed him. Ye Shuang knows better than anyone what it means to be looked down on. He spent a lifetime at the bottom. Now he intends to put the world below his feet — one impossible step at a time.
