Here, there is no light—only endless archives and truths long buried. Each dossier corresponds to a nightmare case, and Ethan must search for answers between absurdity and horror. Yet as the investigations deepen, he begins to uncover a terrifying truth: his greatest enemy is none other than the person closest to him. Is it the entanglement of fate—or the careful weave of conspiracy? As each page of the dossiers turns, Ethan realizes: the true enemy may not be the nightmares at all, but the one he knows best.

Lei Zhang has always known what he wants and it is not to be what his father wanted him to be. Armed with memories not of earth, he tries to cope with the fact that the friends he has now were the same friends he used to have in his old life, only quite different. Same faces, but entirely different people. When he thought he had finally escaped his fate and started living a mundane life, his destiny came chasing him, and the friends he came to love got dragged into it. Let's not forget one Artemis Hunter who turns out to be more unordinary than she already is. ************ A/N: I appreciate honest and helpful opinions. Xoxo, White_May (Bai_Wu_Yue)

Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a sweeping, serialized epic that explores the themes of absolute possessiveness, domestic survival, and the legacy of blood. Spanning over eighty-five years, the narrative follows the lives of Xuan and Ning, two souls who abandon the hollow prestige of the city and the "obsidian throne" to build a private, fortified dynasty atop a rugged mountain estate. ​The Core Conflict ​The novel is driven by the tension between the world they left behind—characterized by "rivals," "ghosts of the past," and "city filth"—and the rigid, self-sufficient reality they create. Xuan, a man of iron will and extreme devotion, acts as the architect and protector, while Ning, the emotional anchor, provides the "sabr" (patience) and grace required to endure decades of isolation. ​Narrative Arc ​The Foundation: The early chapters establish their retreat to the mountain, where Xuan meticulously replaces the fragility of modern life with "iron-reinforced" structures and "lead-weighted" stability. ​The Expansion: As the story progresses, the couple raises a son and a daughter—twins—who eventually bring their own partners and children into the fold. The mountain becomes a micro-civilization, featuring its own forge, weave-room, observatory, and library. ​The Late Years: By age eighty, Xuan and Ning witness the "Quadruple Quickening," as four women in the family (their daughter-in-law and granddaughters) become pregnant simultaneously. ​The Legacy: The novel culminates at age eighty-five with the arrival of six great-grandchildren—three sets of twins—mirroring the original twin birth of Xuan and Ning’s own children. ​Themes and Style ​The novel is written in a highly rhythmic, evocative style where every chapter consists of exactly 50 lines. It utilizes recurring motifs—the scent of salt, the sound of gulls, the "vibrating stone-ledge," and the "iron-reinforced" security of their home. ​The story concludes with Chapter 500, depicting an eighty-four-member family gathered on the highest terrace. It is a "very happy ending" that celebrates the total victory of private love over public ambition, proving that the only true kingdom is the one built through decades of shared labor and unyielding loyalty. ​The Guiding Principle: > "The misunderstanding that a 'king' in the city could offer a truer reign than this was a dead lie... They were the masters of the mountain, two souls who had traded the obsidian throne for the joy of life."

Fifteen-year-old Taylor is an only child who she does not make friends easily. She spends most of her time with her best friend Amy and the two girls are as close as sisters are - which only makes it worse when Taylor catches Amy and Matthew, Taylor’s crush, together in the library. Taylor tells Amy that she will never speak to her again and she means it. Taylor retreats into herself, sure that she is destined for a lonely and friendless life. She begins to spend most of her time in her room with only her beloved books for company as she comes to grips with the fact she can never rely truly on anyone but herself. Until Geodhun the mountain dragon appears, that is. Taylor follows Geodhun through her wardrobe mirror and finds herself in the Obsidian Realm, a mystical land of great beauty and the beloved home of many mythical creatures. However, the creatures of the Realm are living in fear as the evil Fabula and her armies of bozdogs, helions, and maggarts slowly take over their world and plunge the land into darkness and sorrow. With Geodhun’s guidance, Taylor sets off for the Outpost of Illusions to meet the wizard Mistost. During her journey, Taylor is encouraged by Geodhun to follow her heart and rely on her intuition. She learns about trust, strength, and bravery, especially after returning to her own world to make up her friendship with Amy. Taylor and Amy step back into the Obsidian Realm where the girls work together, with the help of the friends Taylor has already made in the Realm, to release the land from its enchantment. After a series of adventures and challenges, all of which she manages to overcome, Taylor returns to her own world with a greater understanding of love, loss, relationships - and of the good and bad aspects of her own self.

Voices that should not exist have begun to speak. A woman is reborn from an ancient painting, singing of a love sealed away for centuries. A man turns the resentment of a living sacrifice into destruction that consumes his own people. A god offers a final prayer to keep a demon bound— and never answers again. A soul awakens inside a machine, asking questions no machine should ask. Something from beyond this world arrives on Earth, not to interfere, but to observe. And I hear them. This is not a single story. It is a record. A series of encounters that appear unrelated, taking place within ordinary lives and familiar spaces. Each one alters my understanding of life, death, and the boundary between them. I record these events not to explain them, but because pretending they do not exist is no longer possible.
