The story begins in 2025, against a world backdrop shrouded by technological barriers and the gathering storm of financial warfare. Three protagonists—Mozi, Yue'er, and Xiuxiu—each place their pieces upon the chessboard of destiny. • Mozi, a programmer and quantitative trading prodigy who comprehends the underlying source code of how the world operates. • Yue'er, born into a distinguished family of mathematicians, a theoretical mathematician obsessed with the world's most profound language. • Xiuxiu, heir to a laser technology dynasty and a lithography engineer bearing the weight of national and familial grievances. Returning resolutely from a Dutch lithography giant, she will lead her team through a decade-long technological Long March—from DUV to EUV, and onward to High-NA EUV—composing a heroic epic of China's semiconductor industry. The fates of the three converge at an international technology summit. Their love, ideals, and careers become inextricably intertwined: Yue'er's mathematical theories provide the ultimate "certainty" for Mozi's models; Xiuxiu's technological breakthroughs offer a solid pivot of "real economy" for Mozi's financial operations; and Mozi's capital power becomes the strongest backing for Xiuxiu's technological Long March. Together, they confront the strangulation of international capital, controversies over academic ethics, and the siege of technological blockades. Ultimately, they come to realize that whether it be the truth of mathematics, the light of physics, or the code of finance—all are but different paths leading to the same ultimate answer: the "String Light Code" of civilization's progress.

A virus swept across the globe, turning the infected into grotesque, fast-moving, intelligent variants of zombies. Cities collapsed. Now, isolated factions and scavenger groups survive in ruins.

In a crumbling middle-class home, twin sisters Aara and Ayin were born under the same roof—but that’s where their similarities end. Ayin, the older, is selfish, impulsive, and detached. She chases pleasure and leaves chaos behind. Aara is her opposite: obedient, loyal, and self-sacrificing. For years, she played the perfect daughter—top of her class, quiet, and controlled—hoping her efforts would ease her family's burden. She never knew they were drowning in debt… until the collectors came knocking. When her parents vanish under pressure, leaving only excuses and threats in their wake, fifteen-year-old Aara is forced to grow up overnight. She works brutal part-time jobs by day—and by night, she becomes “Ash,” a masked fighter in a secret underground league. Her fists pay the bills. Her silence keeps her safe. But she’s not invisible to everyone. Haru, the school’s infamous delinquent, is the heir to a powerful and dangerous conglomerate. Cold. Unapologetically violent. Untouchable. Rumors say he’s psychotic. Aara wants nothing to do with him. Haru, however, is obsessed. He sees her—the real her—before anyone else does. Her silence. Her defiance. Her pain. When he discovers her secret identity in the ring, his fascination deepens into something darker. Possessive. Protective. Twisted. As Aara sinks deeper into a world of betrayal, violence, and manipulation, Haru inserts himself into her life like a shadow she can't shake. She doesn’t want saving—but he doesn’t care. He’ll destroy anyone who touches her. Even her. Because love, to Haru, isn’t pure—it’s war. And Aara? She’s about to learn that not all monsters come to hurt you. Some come to claim you. Ashes in Bloom is a twisted tale of survival and obsession, where love doesn’t always heal—it scars. Trigger Warnings: Emotional manipulation, bullying, violence, psychological trauma, obsessive behavior

"Is Fate the excuse of the forsaken, is Free Will the delusion of the chosen?" Such was a question that Xavier, the Demon King, never had the chance to ask himself. As he lay defeated, awaiting his death, he wondered about the wretched life he lived. 'The hero who killed me, the one who held the same ambitions as me. We both wanted good for the people, for the world. We are both two sides of the same coin, yet, fate decided that he will be the one the light will shine on. Perhaps it was me too, perhaps it was my karma for flowing the rivers of blood with my sword. But still... It was fate that squashed the humanity in me first! Damn fate, if I had one more chance, I would've lived for myself more, I wouldn't have taken this arbitrary role of being a necessary evil... This world, this game of destiny... It can burn to ashes for all I care.' As he sunk into the cold embrace of death, a certain [REDACTED] heard his dying wish with amusement and cast their die, reversing the wheel of time one last time and going all in on him on a risky gamble with the stakes of their world. ************** Discord Server (fixed): https://discord.gg/rZhT6zdp2f Author is on a break, exams are coming soon.

_ _ _ He only sought to leave a legacy behind because he was set to die by twenty-five years old. Becoming a blood drinking monster was not in his plans. But his plans derailed when his grandfather got him with one of his pranks even after he had been dead for one year already. And now, he found tied to someone else, a woman who, upon their first ‘meeting’, tied him to a chair, and threatened him. If only he knew. He didn't care about fate, but fate did care about him. And that fate would bring out his heritage, and determine if he would live, and build his legacy into something bigger, or really die, after taking the first step. _ _ _ The unavoidable pyre is the one built from desires, so always be prepared to burn. . . . Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half should she share his misfortune with him, just like the red string is forcing her, right? Shackles, heirship, legacy… and life. Some to be fought, others to be fought for, because maybe he didn't know, or maybe he did, that the last misfortune was coming for him, even though he… never drank blood, or precisely because he never did. Two sides of the same coin. Fighting together was not a choice anymore. And in the eyes of their entangled fate, it might never have been, actually, since the very beginning. . . . "Grandp- Grandpa, you have screwed me over." "Of course not." "But-" "No but. You are my favorite grandson, how can I not want what is best for you?" "You tied me with the woman who tortured me and most probably planned to kill me! And you say that is the best for me?" "Oh, don't overdramatize things, grandson. We both know you just played along." "..." "Anyway, the red string has already been tied. There is nothing that can be done anymore." "Gramps-" "Shuuut, go away. I'm already dead, stop bothering me." "Gramps-" "There, there... Go, fate is waiting for you." "Arghhh... Damn you, old man!!!" "Hehehe... You will thank me later." "ARGHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU!!!" Follow me on discord. https://discord.gg/C86EJvCJdd

(+18 content.) His life takes a turn for the better. Prologue Could it be that he knows, and that's why he...?" The life of secrets, betrayal, and firm In the midst of being lonely some days, Karalana takes a turn in life for the better. Karalana's mind was a swirling tempest of memories.The weight of his mother's death hung heavy on his shoulders—a tragedy that had shattered his world. Though the accident had been beyond his control, the blame was inescapable. One fateful evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the mountains, he met Sharisha. Her presence was a gentle breeze that momentarily calmed the storm in his heart. The two shared a secret beneath their imaginations, their whispered words forming an unbreakable bond. As time passed, Karalana couldn't deny the growing connection between them. In Sharisha, he saw not just a refuge from his past but the promise of a brighter future. And so he made a decision to be by her side: he would keep his mother's death a secret from her; it was a lie born out of love. In the glittering city of Smokey Valley and with unfamiliar faces, Karalana's trust issues deepened like a chasm in his soul. Surrounded by the wealthy elite, he felt like an outsider, a mere spectator in a world where people wore masks of politeness and privilege. When every smile seemed to have hidden agendas. He couldn't help but wonder if, in this world of opulence, genuine connections were a rarity. The memories of his cousin's past betrayal and the weight of his tormenting memory only fueled his suspicion of everyone he met. Yet, amid this sea of unfamiliarity,Sharisha remained his anchor. Her unwavering support and genuine affection were the glimmers of light in his darkening world. With her, he dared to believe that trust could be rekindled, even in a city where wealth and facades seemed to rule. The unexpected marriage of Karalana and Sharisha sent shockwaves through Sanka and Abisai's circle of friends.

"Why are you doing this?..." her usual domineering tone turned extraordinarily soft in a heartbeat as her rosy red lips quivered softly. Her breathing hitched as she felt a cold hand on her nape pulling her head closer. She looked up and a pair of sterling silver eyes caught her gaze. His silver locks fell on his forehead covering it entirely as he looked down at her to acknowledge her question. "You are the reason I do everything Kiaraa..." _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A war between fire and ice, the outcome could never be estimated. Their lives were so close yet it felt so far at the same time. He wanted her despite the dispute surrounding them but what could Lee Kiaraa possibly possess to make Adrian Kim go to the end of the world just for her? She was short tempered, strong, witty and independent. Her words alone held fire in them and every action of hers had indecisive reasons. She was a trouble magnet but she couldn't care less about her problems as she had a powerful family to back her up. But even with the power she held, her troubles still caught up to her and she had no other choice but to depend on him for help. Not knowing him too well, she trusted him blindly and he helped her with silent reasons, guiding her with utmost care like she was a fragile egg. His actions held many questions but she couldn't say a word but rather masked her curiosity with her mischievous acts. Blinded by her problems, she wondered if he was really her ally or her enemy. His reasons finally came to light when she realized that he was the root of all her problems. A glimpse of her vague memory from childhood gradually unfolds. The situation seemed deeper than she comprehended but it seemed to late for her, she had fallen... Would she accept him when she eventually knows the truth?
