the book borrower a novel

Warning I lost most of my work for this, just the writing would have sucked but I also lost my huge amount of planning and its too much work to try and rebuild what I was writing, so I’ve stopped writing this and started a new novel. It’s very different from this one though, but if you’d still like to support me it’s called “For I will be the war Empress.” I am a student though so posting stories won’t really be on a fixed day but I’ll try my best. Anyways, thank you for reading this. The world is at its peak of technology, Many things that seemed unachievable were now at arms length. Yet even now, Money is still what really controls the world and the people. Those who have too much time began to spend time in a virtual reality game that is so vast and open, that there are still many places that haven't been open. This game was called The Lands of Oasis. L.O for short. Like many others, this man has a hard time with money, earning minimum wage from a local convenience store, which he hates, but he needs to pay rent after all, but he's not self absorbent, he was also working to pay off his dead father's debt, and mother's hospital fees. He was once a top player in RPG games but now, he has no choice to live by working until he spotted a great deal with the game he has always wanted to try, A boarding house for gamers, specifically for L.O players. The male managed to get a deal with only having to pay 30% the amount that was meant to be paid for half a year, room and gaming equipment and food included, he rushed to take the chance. Earning money however he could within the game, Even getting a legendary and one of a kind class. Without realizing it, his job slowly became something he truly loved, now slowly aiming for the title of number one player. Yet what if there was something else that was brought with his luck, while in a random party, a member suddenly acts weird before logging off. The next day, they were found killed. At first, the boy wasn’t going to mind it, but the moment he witnessed his own companion, he himself felt he had to find out what happened, both inside, and outside the game.

In the rainy coastal city of Greyhaven, a struggling single mother named Mara Ellison is trying to rebuild her life after a traumatic past she barely speaks about. One night in a dim bar, she accidentally meets Dr. Adrian Vale, a brilliant and charismatic psychiatrist whose calm voice and piercing gaze seem to see straight through her. Their chance encounter turns into a secret relationship. But everything becomes complicated when Mara unexpectedly meets Elena Vale, Adrian’s elegant and enigmatic wife. Instead of hostility, Elena offers friendship. Soon, Mara finds herself entangled in their strange marriage, mysterious therapy sessions, and disturbing phenomena she cannot explain. She begins to experience lucid dreams, sleepwalking episodes, and moments where reality feels… borrowed. As Mara investigates Adrian and Elena’s past, she uncovers whispers of experimental psychology, trauma survivors, and a hidden practice involving consciousness traveling through dreams. But the deeper she digs, the more unstable her own identity becomes. Because someone in this story is not who they appear to be. And someone else is wearing a life that was never theirs.

Lamp oil poured down the throat. Incense ash packed into the nostrils. Nine-year-old Chen Nian'an lies on a pyre, still breathing. The village shaman says he must burn before sunset. The nail on his left pinky is gone—borrowed by the Nail Borrower, an ancient spirit in red who takes children's nails at dusk. His mother, Xiulan, refuses. She pulls him from the fire and offers her own nails instead. Ten nails for her son's life. The Nail Borrower accepts. But Xiulan soon uncovers a darker secret: the village shaman has been collecting nails for fifty years—ninety-eight of them, each from a child who was burned. Nian'an was meant to be the ninety-ninth. Now Xiulan must break a cycle that has lasted half a century, using the only weapon the Nail Borrower cannot defeat: a mother who can grow back what was taken. The village says he must burn. His mother says he will live. One of them is wrong.

Sebastián recuerda vividamente como ese día, Thomas le pidio de rodillas a Debb-la mosca más Molesta y su peor enemigo (segun Thomas)- que sea la pareja de baile de su hermana. Se suponia que seria una buena noche. Una celebración informal en un puesto callejero de comida, un par de helados, bebidas, fotos de una apuesta, un vide de celebracion... Patrullas... Luces... Y una bala perdida...

This story began as a question: what if the boundaries of humanity were broken overnight? What if survival wasn’t just about endurance, but about evolving, adapting, and finding power in a world that no longer plays by the rules? Kael’s journey is not just about fighting monsters—it’s about confronting the emptiness inside, the choices we make when everything familiar collapses, and the cost of becoming stronger than we ever imagined. The world you are about to enter is dangerous, unpredictable, and at times, unforgiving. Monsters lurk in shadows, humans are both prey and predator, and power comes at a price. I hope you enjoy walking alongside Kael through this chaotic, thrilling Seoul—a city you think you know, yet will never see the same way again. Remember: in this world, survival is not enough. You have to rise. — Author

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.

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?
