Some were never meant to be told at all…” Behind every nightmare lies a truth that someone tried to bury.

What is the most horrifying feeling? Is it the moment your life slips away? Or the paralyzing helplessness as everything you’ve built crumbles before your eyes? Perhaps it’s the weight of an inescapable destiny—or the simple, brutal irony of being human, burdened by emotions you barely understand. Are you truly content with the way you see the world? Because if you’re not, it might be time to realize that reality is far more vast, more twisted, and more extraordinary than your limited perception could ever grasp. What if imagination could breathe life? What if desires, fears, and curiosity could shape existence itself? What if the lines between reality and fantasy blurred with every stroke of a pen, every thought penned down, and every story unleashed? In this universe, nothing is as it seems—and the only certainty is that your perspective will never be the same.

(literally) -------- This is going to be my second novel, first being Heavenly Immortal Disciple. I will give this novel an update every 2 days. The two novels will have one chap at one day and then switch the next. The MC will be very OP in this novel. He will try to lay low. If you hate lay low novels, then this may not be the novel for you. There will be the occasional people who do know of the MC's strength. The novel will include a Harem. I will try not to make it too big. Every Emperor needs a few women! (I'm talking about MC) This will have a system. Be warned if you hate cliche plots. Don't rig the improvements so that I cant actually improve. If you dislike the series, I would be happy for suggestions. Please note: I don't actually own the art, please down sue me....

However, a sudden series of strange occurrences—haunting howls, mysterious disappearances, and whispers of forgotten magic—begin to unsettle the once-peaceful village. Alaric, a young warrior burdened with a mysterious past, and Nyra, a gifted healer with a connection to ancient lore, are thrust into a journey that will uncover secrets buried for centuries. Together, they must navigate treacherous lands, confront mythical creatures, and unlock hidden powers to save their world from a looming darkness. Along the way, they encounter others who have their own roles to play—each with their unique strengths and haunted histories. As the true nature of their quest reveals itself, they find that the fate of the realm rests on their shoulders and on the strength of their unlikely alliances. In Fables of the Lost Realm, loyalties are tested, legends come to life, and destiny unfolds in unexpected ways. Will Alaric, Nyra, and their companions be able to face the ancient powers that threaten to engulf their world? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—their journey is just beginning.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
