With the creation of different dimensions and universes, came forth intelligent beings. To regulate these dimensions and universes, higher beings took control of containers called UniOrbs. These containers not only regulated the Gods and the souls of those worlds but also dictated the processes of reincarnation. The UniOrb could not do this on their own, so they contracted souls to become "Systems" that made sure souls were able to reincarnate, but not all souls were fortunate enough to do so. "Systems" then teamed up with souls called "Hosts" to make sure unfortunate souls got their wishes fulfilled, their souls healed properly, and ready for reincarnation. To make sure the Systems and Hosts had a proper base of operations, the UniOrb created a separate space called the Command Center. This Command Center was at the entrance of the reincarnation sea, where souls would go to their next destination. The person in charge was called, "God System." One System was not satisfied with their status quo. They created something known as the "Villain System." This Villain System was designed to suck the life and energy from different worlds, using it to spread a virus that would slowly take over the UniOrb. Their goal: Take over the UniOrb to become the new higher being that controlled it. When all hope seemed to be lost for those in the UniOrb and its Command Center, one System, System 225, gained control from the Villain System, rescued his "Host," and together go from world to world, gaining enough energy to combat the System that created the Villain System. Oh, and also rescuing God System along the way. Book cover credit: Alice - https://vgen.co/this_is_ALiCE_draws

In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she’s learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark.

The Dracula Empire is the most powerful criminal empire in the world, ruling the underworld through three branches stretching across China, South Korea, and Thailand. Unlike every other mafia syndicate, its throne belongs to one family—the women of the Ling bloodline. Among them stands Ling Zhao. Feared across continents as the God of Death, she is a woman whose name alone can bring nations and criminal empires to their knees. Wherever she wages war, rivers of blood follow, and no enemy is ever left alive. To challenge Ling Zhao is to sign your own death warrant. After the brutal murder of her parents, Ling Zhao dedicates her life to protecting the only family she has left—her cousin—and to preserving the empire built by generations of the Ling family. Then Lao Zhan appears. One reckless act turns him into Ling Zhao's greatest enemy, igniting a war between two hearts that should never have crossed paths. But hatred slowly gives way to an irresistible attraction, forcing them to choose between love and loyalty. Yet peace is an illusion. Hidden conspiracies, betrayals from within, and enemies waiting in the shadows threaten to destroy everything Ling Zhao has fought to protect. As the empire descends into chaos, she must decide whether love is worth risking the throne—or whether the God of Death was never meant to have a happy ending. In an empire where power is inherited through blood, betrayal is unforgivable, and mercy is weakness... only one question remains. Can the deadliest woman in the world protect both her empire and the man destined to become her greatest weakness?

Seraphine Elion was raised to follow duty; born to a bloodline of soldiers whose loyalty ran deeper than love. Callum Virell was groomed for power, heir to the wealthiest business empire in the country. Their fathers as sworn siblings, they promised each other's child in a marriage neither wanted. Six years ago, Sera broke the engagement to pursue love on her own terms. But fate has a cruel sense of irony—when Callum kneels to propose to another, it's Sera who stands before him instead. Bound by family expectations and unspoken histories, the two enter a marriage built on silence, bruised pride, and buried wounds. As Callum clings to memories of his first love, Dahlia, and loses himself in long nights of alcohol and smoke, Sera fights to hold the crumbling pieces together—not just for duty, but for something dangerously close to love. But Sera is not the same woman who once walked away. She’s stronger now. Fiercer. And she’s not here to beg for affection—she’s here to claim the man who was once promised to her. In a world where legacy trumps choice, and desire simmers beneath cold glances and quiet dinners, can two broken souls find something real in a marriage neither chose?

When my mind wanders and my soul bleeds in words, these short tales take their first breath.

You will remain exiled until the day you draw your last breath.” Serena, a Healer exiled from her pack for a crime she did not commit, accused of murdering her mate, the Pack Beta. The evidence against her was damning, warranting the harshest punishment: death. However, an oath between her father and the Alpha of her pack spared her life. Instead, she was cast into the wilderness, cursed to live as a rogue until the day she dies. Life as a rogue was treacherous, seeing the next sunrise was never promised. One fateful day, Serena stumbled upon injured strangers and saved their lives. In return for her kindness, she was granted asylum in Ironshade, the strongest Western Pack.

Serena’s arrival may hold the key to its salvation...or its ruin. As tensions rise, Serena and Darius find themselves drawn together with an undeniable bond. Together, they must confront buried secrets, face their deepest fears, and decide if their second chance at love is worth risking everything. "When the shadow of the Thorn bleeds into the light, And the wolf who carries death finds her second life, The moon will bless the broken bond, And the cursed will find peace at dawn."

She has never lost a case. Not because she defends the innocent— but because she understands something no one else does: Truth can be constructed.

When she takes on the most disturbing case of the decade— a father accused of violating and murdering his own child— the public turns against her instantly. The evidence is flawless. The crime is undeniable. Even the man believes he did it. There’s only one problem. He remembers nothing. Not a blur. Not a mistake. A perfect, unnatural void. As Hae-in begins to dismantle the case, she uncovers something far more terrifying than guilt— A mind that didn’t break… but was used. Because this isn’t just a murder trial. It’s proof that a human being can be turned into something else— …and never remember becoming it.
