She kept on running in the forest, running and running. The moon didn't show her mercy to show her the way in the dark as it didn't come out. Everywhere and everything was dark and the only things she could hear was the sound of fast footsteps which were hers and the creature behind her. She felt tired but she can't stop . Twigs had made different scratches and cuts on her body. Her dress which was a multicolored ankara with different patterns was now tattered. Her legs were coated with mud which had started to turn dry due to her running for a long time and some part of her toes had started to bleed since she wore no shoes. She doesn't know where she's coming from and where she's going. The only thing on her mind was to run, run away from what was after her. She should have listened to her grandmother about what happens when you don't listen to the great goddess, Yemoja. And now, she regrets it, every single second she wasted without doing the right thing.

Faced with moral choices, brutal encounters, and the reality that anyone could turn, the students must work together, think fast, and decide: hide, fight, or run. John and his group must navigate the campus, figure out what these infected are, how they work, and where—if anywhere—is still safe.

In a world where souls are weapons and silence can kill, three young warriors—Kaito, Rian, and Aira—must navigate deadly missions, unravel half-hidden truths, and face demons that strike both body and mind. But the real danger isn’t just the monsters they hunt… it’s the secrets buried in their own blood, the power they barely understand, and the cost of the silence they keep. One soul-touching battle at a time, they’ll discover that surviving isn’t enough—sometimes, it’s the quiet choices that shape destiny. Dark. Thrilling. Unforgiving.

​For Lylylia Borgechaf, a filthy rich heiress and a hardcore horror novel addict, the plot twists in modern fiction are literal trash. Bored to death by cliche ghost stories, she takes matters into her own hands and establishes the most unhinged club at Elysian Academy: The Horror Research Club. ​The rule on her flyer is short, sweet, and absolute: GHOSTS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM APPLYING. ​But on the first night of recruitment, the three weird students who actually sign up are literal wandering spirits who are just bored out of their minds. To make things worse, a clueless and overly ambitious Lylylia mistakes them for socially awkward humans. Thus begins their absurd weekly club meetings, ranging from discussing supernatural conspiracy theories to having massive arguments because the club's cash fund suddenly turned into graveyard leaves. ​Yet, behind the laughter and the absolute madness of their late-night club, the ghosts slowly begin to notice something chilling. ​Every single time the clock strikes home-time, the vibrant smile on Lylylia's face completely dies. The wealthy heiress has to return to her majestic, freezing mansion, the exact place where the real monsters reside. ​For Lylylia, the dead turn out to be far warmer than the humans who are still breathing. And when the dark, twisted secrets of the Borgechaf family begin to threaten her life, the ghosts of Elysian Academy decide it’s finally time to stop being passive club members.

Imagine: A stone-cold Russian billionaire heir—Viktor Mikhailov (picture: brooding, black turtlenecks, eyes like a winter storm)—gets his entire life nuked when a secret baby appears on his doorstep during a thunderstorm. The twist? - The mom’s a manipulative party-girl who drugged him to get pregnant (trauma). - Baby Misha is half-Korean, all cheeks, and already inherits his "I will end you" glare. - Viktor’s family? Literal villains. Think: evil stepmoms, icy patriarch, and a mansion full of backstabbers. Now he’s juggling: - Harvard poetry classes (his one soft spot), - Diaper explosions (Yuri, his himbo bodyguard/BFF, helps… sorta), - Mafia-level family drama (they want the baby gone). Vibes: - "John Wick but with baby wipes." - "Succession meets Masha and the bear." - Angst so thick you could drown in it… until Misha babbles and Viktor’s cold heart melts. Why you’ll cry: - Viktor whispering “I don’t deserve you" while sobbing into Misha’s curls. - Misha throwing mashed potatoes (Ah, I think it was yogurt? shii, I don't remember) at Anastasia’s $50k fur coat. - The jellyfish hair clips. Always the jellyfish clips. TL;DR: A man who’d never held a baby becomes DAD OF THE YEAR while fighting his psycho family, falling in love with his kid, and low-key redeeming his soul. Feat. Russian lullabies, baby fencing lessons, and emotional damage.

One day, a strange hand suddenly appeared inside Chi Wan’s interdimensional space. Its owner claimed to be living in the apocalypse—starving, desperate—and begged to trade anything he had for food. Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back? They were one step away from tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention. As for Chi Wan? “I’m busy getting rich and supporting my family,” she said calmly. “A battle royale of suitors? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Until one day— An absurdly handsome man appeared at the gates of her villa… carrying a sack filled with gold and jewels. “I’m here to marry into your family,” he declared. Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.
