mystery

The swirl of golden clouds tells a story of a broken yet beautiful world: Cosmo. Waves of Beasts rushed through the land, burying civilizations and life. When the moon reaches its peak, darkness pours out, the Abyssal Call comes to embrace all. Disasters rain havoc, twisting the land and casting history centuries backward. And the humans of the lands struggle to survive, denying this broken world their end. Such was the fate of this shattered world for centuries. Until one day the skies turned golden, clouds parted, and a streak of light fell from the stars. Then, the world began to change. Beings from the past who once ruled the land began to awaken, some by their own will and some by force. Truths long shrouded in grey fog began to emerge and unfold. Cherished fantasies, once believed in, began to crumble. And this broken world slowly approaches its final trial, faced by every living being. At the center of it all walks the second prince of Activia, Lorian Ashguard. His golden eyes shine as he strode into the storm, a grin on his face, even as every step left a trail of darkness and countless arms grasped at him. Whispering to Lorian: None have succeeded before… The light that controls the world… You cannot accomplish what greater ones couldn’t… The voices grew as more arms latched on, covering his entire body, leaving only his face untouched. Yet Lorian forced himself toward the light, paving the way for others.

[ WARNING : CONTAINS SMUT/ MATURE CONTENT FROM CHAPTER 102] Delia's life was a cruel reality: the neglected and abused illegitimate daughter of a noble family, the Ellington family, she yearned for the love of her stepmother, Baroness Augusta, and younger sister, Lady Anne, who relentlessly mistreated her. Her world crumbled when she discovered a double betrayal: her beloved husband, Lord George had secretly pined for Anne, marrying Delia only to be near her sister. Simultaneously, her step mother framed her for a crime Anne committed. Overwhelmed and heartbroken, Delia's attempt to escape a death sentence led to a fatal carriage accident. But death was not the end. Delia awoke one year in the past, finding herself still engaged to George. This was her second chance, and the naive girl was gone, replaced by a woman consumed by a burning desire for revenge. Her first target: Duke Eric Carson, the powerful and wealthy man her sister Anne desperately pursued. Delia boldly approached Eric with a proposition for a contract marriage. To her surprise, Eric agreed, but with a condition: their fake marriage would become real and they can go their separate way after a year, hiding his own secret agenda. Now, armed with Eric's unexpected devotion and his willingness to lay down his life for her, Delia meticulously begins to dismantle her family's world. With Eric's help, she exposes the secrets they hide, manipulates their desires, and turns them against each other, orchestrating George’s demotion, Anne's downfall and seizing everything her sister coveted, including Duke Eric love and obsession. Will Delia and Eric be able to conquer all odds to get what they want? What happens when Eric doesn’t want their contract marriage to end? What happens when the last petal that indicates her second chance falls? ——————— EXCPRET “I can’t return your feelings, your grace,” Delia whispered, her back against the cool wall. “But I can,” Eric murmured, stepping closer. Delia’s voice trembled. “It’s not the same.” She choked out. “ No one can love me without hurting me.” “Then teach me,” he said, his breath warm on her cheek. “Teach me how to love you the way you deserve to be loved. I’m a quick study.” When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips. “It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.” His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. "As long as it's from you, I'm happy."

In a world where power dictates destiny, Noah Grace is considered weak—just another nobody in a society ruled by strength. But when he unexpectedly awakens a mysterious system, his life takes a drastic turn. Given the chance to rise above those who once looked down on him, Noah embarks on a relentless journey to gain power, uncover hidden truths, and defy the very gods who control fate.

They say time forgets. But some wishes are carved so deep into the soul that not even death can silence them. Ninety years after a forgotten war tore through the unseen boundaries of reality, Ren Kai is born—aloof, brilliant, beautiful, and utterly unaware that fate has been waiting for him. In the gleaming modern city of Lianhua, where everything moves fast and emotions are kept neatly beneath the surface, Ren Kai lives untouched by the chaos of the world. He has everything—wealth, reputation, a loyal circle of friends, and a quiet life shaped by solitude. But beneath the perfection lies a strange pull: toward an unfamiliar melody that haunts his dreams… a symbol that keeps appearing where it shouldn’t… and an unexplainable ache, as if something inside him is calling from another lifetime. Unknown to him, a century-old vow is awakening. A mentor cloaked in shadow waits for the right moment. A world long hidden stirs beneath the city’s glass towers. And a forgotten name burns at the edge of Ren Kai’s mind, whispering of who he once was—and what he was meant to do. As cracks begin to form between past and present, Ren Kai is drawn into a destiny larger than himself—one that will force him to choose: stay in the comfort of a life that was never truly his… or step into the storm of a forgotten legacy that could save or shatter the world. Because some wishes do not vanish. Some are reborn. And some—like his—were never meant to be silent.

I thought I was lucky. One moment, I was just another nobody grinding through life — the next, I woke up in a whole new world. No monsters. No systems. No dragons or dungeons. Just… skyscrapers, smartphones, and social media. Modern Earth. Or so I thought. Naturally, I did what any anime-loving, pop-culture junkie would do: I decided to "create" Marvel. Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men, Avengers — all those epic stories from my original world didn’t exist here. I was going to become the next Stan Lee. Famous. Rich. Untouchable. A god of pop culture. But then... Something felt off. I started noticing things. A building named Stark Industries. A news broadcast about a kid in Queens stopping a car with his bare hands. Things that shouldn’t exist. That’s when the truth crashed down like a meteor: I wasn’t in a normal world. I was in the Marvel Universe. No cheats. No systems. No comic book plot armor. And me? Just a regular guy. Or so I believed. Until my eyes began to change. the Ultimate Eye, granting me different Eye prowesses Each ring… a weapon. First Ring: Geass — The Power of Absolute Command and foresight. Third Ring: Sharingan — Perception. Prediction. Illusion. Fourth Ring: Tenseigan — Gravity. Light. Creation. So my Sharingan can evolve? Guess I'd be getting the Rinnegan. I don’t know why I have these powers. But I do know this: In a universe crawling with gods, mutants, monsters, and alien empires — I won’t be a background character. I won’t be collateral damage. I will rise. I will unlock every ring. And when I do… not even the Celestials will stand in my way. Because I’m not just here to survive. __ ********************************** Join our discord server Link: https://discord.gg/Mr8Q62CH Support us on patreon (+Gain access to chapters in advance) Link: patreon.com/Zphyr_ **********************************

[Warning: Mature Content!] Charley Dunst had three problems: 1. He was broke. 2. His soul had died sometime between mopping aisle four and dressing up as a bunny to wave at traffic. 3. He hadn’t touched a woman since Clara dumped him and ran off with a guy who owned a yacht and two working sport cars. Once a rising tech genius with the world at his feet, one scandal later, Charley’s now mopping floors and talking to haunted dolls at a puppet shop owned by his ex-girlfriend’s family. Every day is a soul-crushing parade of fake smiles, cursed dummies, and the kind of humiliation that would make a monk snap. Just when he thinks rock bottom has a basement, he ends up drenched in the rain, sharing a long, soul-crushing stare with a stray cat outside the shop window. Then… he brings the cat in. The cat breaks things. One of those things reveals a sleek, black credit card unlike anything he’s seen before. No bank. No number. No limit. Just one rule: Swipe once a day. Unlimited money. No strings attached… or so he thinks. Armed with the most powerful piece of plastic on Earth, Charley’s about to go from broke joke to high roller, buying his way into luxury, lust, and the kind of life that used to laugh at him from afar. From lingerie models to lonely heiresses, seduction becomes part of the daily budget and Charley is more than willing to make room for it. But as the money flows and his “assets” multiply, so do the consequences. The card has a secret. And one day, while sipping wine from a girl’s belly button in his new jacuzzi, Charley gets a knock on the door. It’s not the IRS. It’s not his ex. It’s the original cardholder.

I was just a 21-year-old college student pursuing an engineering degree, and like any other person my age, I hoped to secure a placement in a large company to support my family. However my life turned upside down the day when I, along with my friends, decided to go on a trip to the hills. The peaceful trip turned into our worst nightmare when a wounded, unknown man attacked us out of nowhere. That man was illogically strong, even with the injuries, and nearly killed all of us. But to save my friend, I grabbed him and jumped off the edge of the hill. I should have died there, but a strange holographic window appeared in front of me, declaring that I carried a unique bloodline and teleported me to an unknown world. I needed to survive in this unknown world and find out the answers—why I was still alive, why I was teleported here, and how I could return to Earth. But the more I traveled this unknown world ,the more I got tangled in its affairs, and I realized my bloodline wasn't as simple as it seemed.

A witch without faith. A war without heroes. This is not the Dragon Age you remember. The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.

In a fractured future built on dive games and digital warfare, Level Up Next begins with Silver, an elite S-Ranker and Beta tester who leads the guild Silver Coin. Revered across servers, Silver stands at the peak—until betrayal cuts him down during the final Guild War against Vistas Guild. His guild turns traitor, his body dies, and his soul is trapped inside the collapsing Beta Server. But the server reacts. A forbidden system awakens—the Next Protocol. Silver is reforged from within as a Soul Hero, bearing the first modular battle suit known as Next, designed to combat the rising threat of Dark Myst: a digital entity composed of bosses corrupted across all dive games in history. When Silver defeats Dark Myst Proto, the apex threat escapes into the Game Dimension, triggering a cosmic dive. To follow, Silver must cleanse corrupted realms from forgotten games, earning new suits as DLC—each infused with legacy powers. Though his body never returns, his consciousness persists in a hologram farm, guiding new heroes. He becomes myth, system, symbol: The Holo Suit Hero. Level Up Next is an inverse epic—where a top-tier player falls from glory, dies, and rises as a soul-forged legend. A saga of betrayal, code-bound rebirth, and multiversal salvation, launching the grand Cyberverse timeline

"The new Hashira," Koji gasped, bursting into Tanjiro's quarters. "No one knows where she came from." Tanjiro's scar tingled—danger. "What do you mean?" "Three days ago she appeared with techniques that don't exist. But she knows everything—patrol routes, safe houses, which Hashira are injured." Koji's voice dropped. "Master Kiriya can't remember inviting her." They rushed toward heated voices. In the hall, arguments raged. "—impossible to pacify demons—" "—what if we're wrong—" "—too much blood—" Tanjiro entered. Silence fell. "She claims she can make demons peaceful!" Zenitsu grabbed his sleeve. "Not dead—peaceful!" "That's insane," Inosuke snorted. "My hearing picked up something wrong," Zenitsu whispered. "The demon's heartbeat stopped having rhythm. Like a broken clock." Tengen approached, cane tapping. "In my shinobi years, I learned to spot hunters. This woman moves like a predator." "She's hunting demons—" "No. Demons aren't her prey." Doors opened. Akira Shiranui entered—auburn hair catching light, amber eyes cataloguing faces like targets. "Good morning." Her voice was silk hiding steel. "I hope yesterday's demonstration didn't disturb your sleep." "Some of us didn't sleep," a Corps member called. "How did you learn techniques that don't exist?" "Innovation always appears impossible until proven otherwise." "All breathing techniques trace back to Sun Breathing," Zenitsu said. "Where does yours come from?" "From watching people die when alternatives could have saved them." Silence. "You talk about demons like pets instead of monsters," Tengen cut in. "Perhaps our understanding needs evolution." "NO!" A veteran exploded. "I've watched demons tear families apart! They don't change—they get hungrier!" "Have you tried anything besides killing them?" "Have you held a dying mother begging you to save her baby?" The veteran's voice cracked. Akira's expression melted into perfect sympathy. "I'm sorry. But doesn't that make finding better solutions urgent?" "Death is the only solution. Everything else is fantasy." "Then explain yesterday's demon." No one had answers. "Enough." Kiriya's voice commanded authority. "Kamado-san, you'll partner with Shiranui-san. Evaluate her methods." "Master, I'm honored, but—" "Problem?" Akira's head tilted like a predatory cat. "Just curious about your techniques." "Curiosity is healthy. Keep an open mind." Those amber eyes shifted between honey and ice. "When do we hunt?" "Tomorrow morning. Mountain forests north. Demon reports." As the crowd dispersed, Tanjiro watched Akira move through them—perfect warmth, patient grace. Everything about her screamed danger. "You look like death," Zenitsu whispered. "My hearing's going insane around her. Not lies—layers. She's thinking something completely different than what she's saying." Across the room, Akira laughed. When she looked at Tanjiro, her amber eyes blazed with predatory satisfaction. "Promise me you'll be careful," Zenitsu gripped his arm. "I promise," Tanjiro whispered, his scar burning. Tomorrow would bring answers. He prayed they wouldn't destroy everything he believed.

***Together, they were like fire and ice.*** Damon pursued, ready to conquer while Alexander ran, trying so hard to remain cold and guarded. Alexander had thought guarding the sick crown prince was something so easy until he found himself cruelly yet so innocently tempted. ***excerpt*** There was indeed nothing he could do when it came to this man. "You...you are shameless." Alexander managed to say something once he recovered from his momentarily shock. Damon smirked. "I know and I am unapologetic for being that way. Alexander, I am going to do whatever it takes to make you mine." Damon smiled painfully, his voice serious as his eyes burned into his. Alexander was lost for words. At least Damon was being brazenly honest about his intentions. Knowing that did not help to lessen his overwhelmed state at the bold declaration. Now, Alexander knew this man had his eyes set on him but what was he going to do about it. Run or give in to his desires. Desires his mind was still coming to terms with. Running was the safer option because uncertainty was not his greatest suite. But... this man had assured him that he had no problem chasing him. Alexander knew he was doomed...so sweetly doomed. ...
