Coward In a Ghost Story

Writer_Unknown
"They say the dead don't speak. They lied. They scream, and they remember every face that let them die." Adrian Ace Miller was a professional at doing nothing. A shut-in gamer and a self-proclaimed coward, his only goal was to survive another day of unemployment. But when the world tilts and he wakes up in the clinical, shadow-drenched halls of Nox Corporation, "survival" takes on a terrifying new meaning. Recruited as Unit 091, Adrian is no longer a player—he is an "asset" in a high-stakes experiment where ghosts are the currency and fear is the fuel. Beside him stands David Halter, a man who claims to be his "shield," but who is slowly losing his own humanity to protect a ghost from his past. How many pieces of yourself must you cut away to survive? When the "Coward" finally finds his courage, will there be anything left of the man he used to be? "Warning: Entry into Nox Corporation may involve: Coarse language, experimental psychological distress, and the occasional loss of humanity. Proceed at your own risk." -Unit 091

Heavenly Sword Saint

The sword that ended Jian Chen’s life belonged to the woman he loved. He never saw it coming. Once hailed as the greatest genius of the Jian Clan, Jian Chen had everything a young cultivator could desire extraordinary talent, an unparalleled affinity for the sword, and a future that seemed destined to reach the highest heavens. Then he entered the Heavenfall Secret Realm. He walked in as a genius. He walked out of it only as a corpse. Or so fate intended. Jian Chen opened his eyes once more and discovered that death had given him something no treasure in the Divine Realm could provide Another beginning. His memories remained. His regrets remained. And so did the final image burned into his mind: the sword of the woman he loved piercing his heart. This time, Jian Chen refuses to follow the path that once led him to ruin. He will cultivate from the beginning. He will sharpen his sword from the beginning. And when the same people cross his path again, he will be ready. But changing his future proves far more complicated than Jian Chen expected. The more he remembers, the more inconsistencies he discovers. Why was he betrayed? Why did those closest to him want him dead? And why does the truth surrounding the Heavenfall Secret Realm seem connected to events he never understood in his first life? Jian Chen once believed his greatest mistake was trusting the wrong people. Now he suspects something far more terrifying Perhaps his entire destiny had been wrong from the beginning. With a second life before him and a sword at his side, Jian Chen will tear apart every falsehood standing between him and the truth. He will start from nothing. Climb beyond every limit. And forge a path that no one not even fate itself can dictate. Because this time, Jian Chen isn't living to become the genius everyone expected him to be. He's living to discover who he was truly meant to become. And anyone who tries to stand in his way will learn one thing: A man who has already died once has very little left to fear. Jian Chen has returned. And this time, he writes his own destiny.
