In a world desiccated by the Great Thirst, the last remnant of life is the Aqua Vitae—a miraculous subterranean font that provides Water, Energy, and Residual Magic as a single, inseparable essence. For decades, the ruthless Soladorn Syndicate has maintained absolute power by controlling the Aqua Vitae. From their monolithic Spire, they violently separate the W.E.R.M., rationing it to control the populace and hoarding the potent magic for themselves. The system is stable. The control is total. But the source is dying.

4 RASCALS - Demon Hunts Fb page: 4 Rascals - Demon Hunts https://www.facebook.com/share/1DHWzPd3kV/?mibextid=wwXIfr Four students. Four different lives. One fate. When an ancient seal is broken, monsters and demons return to Earth, threatening humanity with extinction. Recruited by the secret Bureau of Paranormal Earth Defense (BPED), Ark, Nori, Geo, and Hans discover hidden powers that could change the world—or destroy it. As powerful Class S Demons rise and the Great Tribulation begins, the four unlikely friends must stand together against an enemy born from fear, darkness, and human greed. The battle for humanity starts with four rascals.

They always come the same way. A boy nobody notices. A ruined background. A lucky encounter no one can explain. Then, before the world understands what it’s watching, he becomes the protagonist—the one Heaven seems to favor, the one fate bends for, the one who survives what should have killed him. And when that kind of person rises, someone else pays the price. In Ji Wuyuan’s first life, the price was his family. The Ji Clan didn’t fall in battle. It didn’t lose to politics. It didn’t die slowly with age and decline. It was erased in a single, clean sweep—burned out of history by a righteous genius everyone called a hero. Ji Wuyuan remembers the screams. He remembers the fire. He remembers standing helpless while the world applauded his destruction. Then he opens his eyes again. Eight years old. Back in the Ji Clan. Back when the courtyards are still peaceful, the elders still argue over small matters, and the future hasn’t arrived yet. This time, Ji Wuyuan doesn’t make the mistake of believing in fairness. He smiles. He listens. He plays the obedient child. And behind that warmth, something colder watches everything—counting debts, measuring threats, memorizing names. Because Ji Wuyuan isn’t trying to become a king. Kings can be replaced. Dynasties can be toppled. He wants something that outlives thrones. He will build a clan so deep-rooted and so well-armed that when the next protagonist appears—when fate tries to raise another “hero” to crush him—there will be no room left for miracles. Only walls. Only blades. Only loyal men who won’t hesitate. In this life, Ji Wuyuan won’t wait for destiny to knock. He will meet it on the road… and teach every chosen one the same lesson: The era of protagonists is over. Now, the hunt begins.

A 10-year-old’s nightmare should end when the alarm rings, but for Han-eol, waking up is where the true terror begins. In a world where magic determines worth and the line between monster and man is razor-thin, Han-eol wears a perfect, smiling mask to shield his sister from the creeping rot of reality. But beneath the laughter lies a boy drowning in phantom pain and a system that labels him as a blank anomaly. As the elite halls of S-Academy clash with visceral, shadows-born horrors, those who smile the brightest often bleed the darkest. How long can you play the hero before you realize the reflection staring back at you is the monster you fear the most? i have decided to upload in RoyalRoad too and my account name is nov_5_2023.

They say the dead don't speak. They're wrong. They speak through the ones left behind in the way a widow's hands shake just a little too rehearsed, in the way a grieving father's eyes go dry three seconds before they fill, in the way a weeping man's voice breaks on cue, like he's done it before. Elena Voss hears everything. She is the city's most beloved grief counselor. The woman you call when the darkness becomes too heavy to carry alone. She has held more broken people than she can count. She has witnessed grief in its most naked, most savage form. She has also learned something the living don't know. Most people don't grieve the ones they've lost. They grieve getting caught. Elena knows this because she listens. She has always listened. But lately lately she has been doing more than listening. She just can't remember what. The hours disappear without warning. She wakes on the bathroom floor at 3am still dressed. She finds receipts in her coat pocket for places she has never been. She finds things in her apartment that shouldn't be there. Things she cannot explain. Things that frighten her in ways she refuses to name even to herself. Last week, two of her clients died. The police call it coincidence. Detective James calls it interesting. He keeps coming back to Elena not because he suspects her, but because no one knew these victims like she did. No one sat inside their darkest rooms. No one heard what they whispered in the dim quiet of her office when they thought confession was the same thing as safety. Elena is trying to help him. Elena is also terrified of what he might find. Because something is happening to her that she cannot explain and cannot stop and cannot tell anyone not her colleagues, not her doctor, not the detective who keeps looking at her like she is both the answer and the question. She is losing herself. Piece by piece. Hour by hour. In the spaces between one breath and the next. And somewhere underneath the losing underneath the fear and the exhaustion and the black holes where her memory should be something else is rising. Something patient. Something certain. Something that has been waiting a very long time to finish what it started. There is a man who comes to Elena every Thursday at four o'clock. He weeps beautifully. He speaks of his dead wife with his voice low and his eyes half-closed, the way people do when they want you to believe their pain is too heavy for words. Elena doesn't know why she can't stop thinking about him. She doesn't know why her hands go cold every time he walks through her door. She doesn't know why, three nights ago, she woke on her bathroom floor at 3am with his name written on the inside of her wrist. She doesn't know a lot of things. Something inside her knows all of them.

Lyra Vale is dying again. Haunted by vivid dreams of her own murder, she begins to see flashes of a life that isn’t hers… yet feels painfully real. A mysterious mark has followed her since childhood, but now it pulses with meaning as a forgotten name rises from the shadows, Elara. Years ago, Elara was betrayed and killed, leaving behind a broken Alpha who never stopped hunting the darkness for answers. Kael Draven has lived in grief and rage ever since, becoming a creature feared by all until Lyra appears, carrying the soul of the woman he lost. As past and present collide, Lyra is forced to confront a truth that could destroy her: she is not just reborn she is unfinished. With enemies closing in and the man who once killed her rising again, she must embrace both identities or risk dying the same way twice. But this time, she is not the girl who died. And Kael is no longer the man who failed to save her. In a world ruled by shadows, betrayal, and ancient power, love will either become their greatest strength… or the weapon that ends them both.

Yunyun is reincarnated into a post-apocalyptic novel with a powerful female protagonist. Unfortunately, she isn’t the heroine. She’s just a minor cannon fodder character… destined to die early. But after awakening memories of the novel, Yunyun accidentally reveals the future through her thoughts— [Mommy, boohoo… your scumbag husband has been cheating on you for years and even has a child with another woman. In the end, they’ll join forces to cripple and torture you to death!] [Uncle, you’ll be betrayed by an ungrateful subordinate and driven out of your own luxurious home, left to freeze to death in the snow!] [Grandpa… Grandma…] In the original story, only her young aunt—the novel’s female lead—survives to the very end, killing her enemies with her own hands… only to live on as something neither fully human nor a ghost. Before they can recover from learning their fates, another thought leaks out— [Sigh, the apocalypse is coming soon. As a three-year-old cannon fodder, can I go offline early? I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her? They hoard supplies, renovate and fortify their home, and prepare in advance for the coming apocalypse. Meanwhile, little Yunyun follows her protagonist aunt, accidentally kicking off the base-building plot and helping create a super base where food and clothing are abundant, even in the apocalypse. Step by step, the Bai family rises to power. In the end, Yunyun is dumbfounded: [Wait… wasn't I supposed to be cannon fodder?! Why does this feel like a "pampered lucky baby" story?!] The Bai family: Their little Yunyun is, indeed, their precious lucky baby.
