"Curiosity killed the cat." The sinister man raised the edges of his lips into a grin before injecting the girl's neck ruthlessly, leaving her unconscious. [Disclaimer: Rated 18 solely for the blood and gore scenes. Extreme torture and abuse scenes included, however, a warning shall be given at the start of such chapters and I will be briefly explaining everything for those who skipped the chapters with such content. Read at your own discretion.] **** Nancy Morgan was an average college girl who was bored of her little-to-none thrilling life and wanted something new. But what she got for that was not necessarily what she asked for. She got into a life-threatening accident. Roth Rogers, her family friend, inserted a chip inside her brain to save her. However, it attracted evil people to go after her. To protect her from the upcoming dangers, Roth appointed his adopted son, Samuel Rogers as her bodyguard. However, more than the people who were trying to abduct her for the cutting-edge technology, Nancy's curiosity rang for her bodyguard's mysterious life. Little did she know, her curiosity unlocked many secrets and troubles.... Like Immortality and artificial diseases. Trapped in a dilemma of science and immortality, Nancy must find out more about her bodyguard, and his connection with all of the mess. **** [Excerpt] "How come you have appeared at my house?" Samuel asked, ignoring her question. "And at such an hour? Are your parents aware?" He was bombarding questions at her after her system told her strange things. Nancy was irritated enough to break his neck, but she kept her composure. "Listen here, you little shit, the system is saying you're hurt. And that's what I asked you. Only I ask the questions here." Nancy clarified before jumping onto the bed, an inch apart from him, as she ran her hand from his shirt's collar to the first button. Who wears dress shirts in bed? Before Nancy could unbutton his shirt, he grabbed her hand with a frown on his face. "I do not know what your system told you, but I must clarify that I am not hurt," Samuel said before moving her hand aside. "Prove it, then," Nancy muttered. "The system says it's a thoracic injury. Show me that it's not." "Even if there is one, I believe you have nothing to do with it." Samuel backfired. Right. Nancy had nothing to do with his matters. But she was dying to remove that shirt from him. No, no! Not for any other business. She just needed to see if the gunshot wound was still there or not. "Which means there is a wound," Nancy said, trying to sound unfazed by his words. "I'll help you treat it." She stood up before walking over to the nightstand opposite them to get the first-aid kit. He watched her with narrowed vision, and she stared back from the corner of her eye. {Probability of survival : 50%... 60%... 65%} {The Wound shows signs of healing. Abnormalities detected.} {Platelet count: Normal.} {Platelet function: Faster than normal.} The system kept raising abnormalities from Samuel as if the system could've never guessed for such an existence. It made Nancy wonder, too. She was sure he was another invention. One way, or another… He was involved. [Note: All my novels are fictional.

Marcus, a young immigrant, had just arrived in Los Angeles when he became a target of campus extortion due to his Asian identity. His uncle Raymond rescued him with extraordinary poker skills, only to uncover a shocking secret: a $50,000 gang debt. To save his mother’s restaurant, Marcus, who had no poker experience at all, was forced to break into an underground casino in Chinatown. There, he unexpectedly allied with Claire, the daughter of a missing FBI agent—she needed to find her father, and he needed to repay the debt, thus beginning a life-or-death partnership. Guided by Raymond’s cheating techniques and equipped with Claire’s agent notes, Marcus transformed from a math prodigy into a poker ace. Leveraging combinatorial probability analysis and fancy card-switching tricks, he navigated between casinos and campus, taking on powerful foes like Wolf (the loan-sharking gang leader), Chen (a key member of a transnational criminal group), and Viktor (a Russian mafia member). They teamed up to raid money laundering warehouses, unravel the conspiracy of drugs hidden in poker chips, and outwit double agents. Amidst gunfights and high-stakes poker games, they exposed an underground criminal network spanning Los Angeles and New York. From Los Angeles’ Chinatown to Las Vegas casinos and New York’s underground tournaments, Marcus and his friends clung to justice amid deception and betrayal, protecting their families on the edge of life and death. When the shadow of the mastermind “The Phantom” loomed and warnings arrived via anonymous emails, this survival game—spanning two seasons—evolved from repaying a debt to an ultimate showdown against a transnational syndicate. The teenager’s growth, the bond between friends, and the battle between good and evil reach a fever pitch in every poker game, leaving a suspenseful cliffhanger for what’s to come.

"This world is a tapestry of converging realities," Iris said. "And you, Master, are a thread that does not belong here." Valentine was just another exhausted engineering student reading webnovels on the metro—until he woke up inside one. Now he's Valentine Ashford, a side character in Convergent Realms, a world where alternate realities violently merge back into existence, spawning corruption and monsters that threaten civilization's survival. The main protagonist is destined to save the world. Valentine's ambition is simpler: explore everything the novel never showed him, master magic on his own terms, and stay far away from world-ending catastrophes. "Magic is a system," Valentine observed. "And every system has exploits." "And every exploit has a price," Iris replied. With Iris—an AI from his past life now bound to his soul—he's discovered a loophole that should not exist: perpetual mana regeneration through soul channel manipulation. Infinite casting. The kind of power that lets him act like a tourist and watch the world from the sidelines. "Master said to stay away from the main plot," Iris remarked as she captured and devoured another soul. "But fate does not care what side characters want." Posting schedule: Twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday, with an additional chapter on Sunday if I manage to write more.

Lairs have four major benefits for humans. The first benefit: the lair site can be developed for agriculture, livestock, and fishery. The products contain special energy that can be easily absorbed by humans. The second benefit: the lair comes with a variety of monsters. The bodies of these monsters contain special energy and can be processed into various items. The third benefit: the lair comes with a variety of heavenly treasures. This natural treasure can improve human qualifications and have a chance to let the person taking it to develop skills. The most important thing is that any difficult disease can be cured if you find the right natural treasure. The fourth benefit: is skill crystals. They almost could not be found in first-class lairs. They are likely to exist in the body of the second-class lair master. They are likely to exist in the body of third-class epic monsters. The higher the level, the more skill crystals will be produced. But again, the higher the lair level, the more difficult it is to beat it. But all of this seems to become a minor problem for me who has turned into a brain cell chip.

The most important thing for a qualified killer was amazing killing skills! However, Shi Yu was an exception. He was a killer, but he couldn't even hold a gun steadily. He couldn't even fight.

Betrayed by her pack. Sold by her husband. Poisoned since birth. "Julian, your scent reeks of fear, and your credit just bled out on the floor. Fold." I was the "Dud" of the Silver-Moon Pack—a wolf who couldn’t shift and a Luna who couldn't lead. My husband, Julian, hated the very sight of me. He blamed my "weakness" for his failing pack and his bad luck. But I never imagined he would do the unthinkable. "I need a stake," Julian muttered, his eyes bloodshot. "One more hand. Five million. If you win... you take her." With those words, my life was tossed onto the table like a cheap plastic chip. Silas Thorne, the lethal High Alpha of the Shadow-Crest, didn’t even blink. He flipped his cards—a Royal Flush—and just like that, I was no longer a wife. I was a debt. "You aren't a Luna, Seraphina. You’re an asset," Silas said, his voice cold as ice. "And I always collect my debts." I expected Silas to be my executioner. I expected him to break what was left of my spirit. But as he drags me into his dark kingdom, the truth begins to surface: My wolf isn't weak. She’s been poisoned. For twenty years, my pack fed me "medicine" that was actually a sedative to keep me from shifting. They didn't save me as a stray pup; they stole me from a bloodline they were terrified of. Now, the poison is fading, my true wolf is waking up, and the man who "bought" me is watching me with a hunger that feels like a mate-bond I was never supposed to have. Julian sold me to save his skin. Now, I’m going back to show him exactly what he lost. Book One
