A forgotten temple hidden beneath the heart of modern India was never meant to be opened. For years, Aarav Varman lived as a failure — buried in debt, haunted by his father’s mysterious death, and struggling to survive as a disgraced archaeologist. But everything changes the night he discovers an ancient underground shrine sealed for centuries beneath a collapsing temple site. The moment his blood touches the forbidden door, the temple awakens. Symbols begin appearing on his skin. Shadows move where none should exist. Powerful secret organizations start hunting him. And deep beneath the city, something ancient stirs once more. As Aarav uncovers terrifying truths linked to forgotten mantras, hidden relics, and a lost order sworn to guard the Ninth Temple, he realizes the legends were real. The temple was not built to protect humanity. It was built to imprison something. And now… the seal is breaking.

I am posting this novel on RoyalRoad.com as well. Alternative title: 'I Sell Ghosts for a Living in Thailand'. Science can’t explain everything. I didn’t believe in ghosts—until I started selling them for a living. From the shadowed counters of Thailand’s black-market amulet trade, a veteran dealer breaks his silence. This is the uncensored truth behind Thai amulets and Kuman Thong—the forbidden rituals of powerful Arjans, the deadly art of Gong Tau curses, ancient witch gu, and the restless spirits bound into sacred powder and oil. What the temples won’t tell you. What most dealer.

Bored in class, Ivaim suddenly transmigrates into a world plagued with Fractured Realities. A century ago, Reality Masters suddenly arrived— bringing a wave of terror over the planet. Just as the people despaired, they began to discover "Threshold Items" which allowed them to enter the domains of these Reality Masters. They had two options starting from there : One, to become a Reality Walker— a person marked and blessed by a Reality Master, fighting by their side in order to defend against other Reality Masters. Or to become a Reality Ruiner— A person who kills Reality Masters, directly consuming and taking over the powers that they posses! However, to Ivaim, he seemed to have taken on a different path. As he looked towards his own body, he sighed as he realized that he was neither a Reality Walker, nor a Reality Ruiner. —He had somehow become a Reality Master. ...

A remote island on Taihu Lake, with only a few dilapidated rooms in a Daoist temple. A great practitioner travels through time and space, only to find that they lack even the qualification to offer incense.

In my city, the rich don’t go to court. They go to temples. I was a nobody—drowning in debt, watching my mother’s hospital bills pile up like a death sentence—when a man from the Rathore family offered me a “miracle.” One night. One ritual. One marriage. Marry their cold, untouchable heiress in an ancient temple, accept a silent contract, and my family would be saved. I should’ve run. But the moment the priest smeared vermilion on my forehead, the oil lamps went out… and something ancient woke up. [TEMPLE CONTRACT SYSTEM ACTIVATED.] [GROOM OF THE CURSED HEIRESS — CONTRACT SEALED.] [COUNTDOWN: 30 DAYS.] That marriage wasn’t a celebration. It was a funeral waiting to happen. Her uncles wanted her dead so they could split the empire. Her “holy” priest wanted her blood to feed the temple. And the family elders smiled as they pushed me forward like a disposable husband. They thought I was a poor boy they could buy, use, and bury. They were wrong. Because the system doesn’t grant blessings—it grants contracts. Every contract demands a price… and pays back in power: leverage, money, influence, fear. If they want a scapegoat groom, I’ll play the role. I’ll take their dowry. I’ll take their secrets. I’ll take their throne. And when the last bell rings in that temple, the Rathores won’t be deciding my fate anymore—

It all started before the pandemic, the world wanted to recover from a century marked by wars and crises. It was as if new stories were being added to the library of humanity… But little did we know, that in those stories there was a remaining mold from a forgotten era. A plague that silently settled over time… Thanks to this, the powers we received from the books were no longer seen as gifts. Now, they became the reason for our ruin. Could this story left to me… be the last scream of that decaying library? Signed: Agent Clover. 2025.

Three years ago, he was a prisoner, betrayed by the woman he loved. Today, he is the Lord of the Dragon Temple, and the world will tremble at his feet. Ethan Ye gave up everything for his girlfriend, Sarah. He even went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit, just to protect her honor. He survived the darkest cells, fueled only by the promise of their future together. But the day he stepped out of prison, he didn’t find a waiting bride. Instead, he found a lavish wedding at the Imperial Villa—Sarah was marrying the very man who had once assaulted her. "You're just a convict, Ethan. You're not even fit to shine my shoes!" she sneered, throwing his ring into the mud. They thought they had crushed him. They thought he was a dog with nowhere to go. Little did they know, Ethan was no longer the weakling they once knew. He is now the **Supreme Lord of the Dragon Temple**, commanding thousands of elite warriors and unimaginable wealth. As the rain pours and the dragons roar, Ethan’s eyes turn cold. "Since you chose hell, I will make sure you stay there." The revenge has just begun.
