A new house. A fresh start. A living nightmare. Lina never believed in ghosts—until the walls began to whisper her name. Doors move on their own. Shadows follow her every step. And every mirror reflects something… watching back. This isn’t just a haunted house. It’s alive. And it’s hungry. Now that Lina has entered, there’s only one terrifying truth left to face— The house doesn’t let go of what belongs to it.

Eli Voss wakes up in a room that isn't his. The walls are covered in photographs, newspaper clippings, and red string connecting names he doesn't recognize. His knuckles are bruised. His shirt is torn. And on the floor, a headline reads: Third Victim Found — Police Seek Unknown Suspect. He doesn't remember any of it. But the worst part? Deep down… he almost does. It starts with small things. The mirror moving a half-second too slow. A smile that isn't his curling at the corners of his reflection. He tells himself it's stress. He tells himself he's imagining things. He tells himself a lot of things. As Detective Crane closes in on a killer the press has named The Architect, Eli begins to unravel a truth more terrifying than any crime scene: there is something living inside him — something that has been watching from behind his eyes for years, studying him, collecting, waiting for the moments he looks away. Not a blackout. Not dissociation. Something worse. A second self that knows him better than he knows himself. In this story, the monster was never hiding in the dark. It was built from every impulse he buried, every thought he swallowed, every reflection he refused to hold for too long. Who am I… if I'm not the one killing?

What if greatness wasn’t a choice — but a command from within? Victor, a 21-year-old Nigerian boy from Lagos, earns a scholarship to a prestigious American university. Armed with nothing but raw ambition and a worn-out pair of sneakers, he arrives in the land of opportunity, determined to chase a better life for himself and his family back home. But everything changes one morning when he wakes up to a voice — no, a system — in his head. It doesn’t just talk. It guides. Tracks. Pushes. A personal development OS programmed to sculpt him into the best version of himself: physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Now juggling a demanding Law degree, early-morning workouts in his dorm, secret studio sessions as an upcoming rapper, and the complexities of young love with a brilliant Black American singer named Benny, Victor begins an all-out transformation. From poverty to purpose. From nobody to somebody. But with every gain comes a challenge. Every growth spurt, a setback. In a world that constantly tries to define him, can Victor stay true to who he is — and who he’s becoming? “Becoming Victor” is a dramatic, comedic, and deeply inspirational coming-of-age novel about culture shock, self-mastery, chasing dreams, and redefining manhood — one rep, one rhyme, and one risk at a time.

The world moves forward, second by second. But for some, time listens. Michael has no past he’s willing to speak of, and no name etched in legacy. Yet deep within him stirs a power older than war and quieter than death—the ability to hold the world still while it spins in madness. Cast through a system that treats the broken like burdens. Where others dream of being chosen, he dreams of peace. But in a world ruled by power, silence is often mistaken for weakness—and monsters often wear smiles. As unrest stirs outside the orphanage walls and deeper truths about the nature of power begin to surface, Michael will have to choose: remain the quiet boy who watches from the margins, or become something more—something unspoken and unstoppable. He doesn’t want to be a hero. But time has a cruel sense of irony.

In the heart of the Old Era, rising religions and cults clash in an unrelenting struggle for power, while the ancient force of magic wanes. The Ascended Ones—enigmatic and power-hungry—extend their influence deep into the lands of Yylagdris, seeking followers and territories for purposes shrouded in mystery. A new era has dawned with the rise of Beast Taming, a practice once limited to mages who bonded with Familiars. Now, it has become a prestigious profession, promising wealth and wonder to those who master its mysteries. The younger generation is divided: many dream of becoming Paladins, enforcers of the Ascended Ones' will. Others yearn to be Beast Tamers, uncovering the profound secrets of this evolving art. Yet, a third faction clings to the olden ways, refusing to abandon ancient traditions. Amid this turmoil, one pacifist dares to dream of changing the world—not through violence, but by ending the cycle of war and ambition. Yet, in a world consumed by conflict and conquest, where can such a dreamer find their place? ************************************* Rising Star II entry

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
