When Zhaozhao was ten years old, she was brought back to the Marquis household as the true daughter. Her parents doted on her, her brother was close, and even the fake daughter treated her with warmth. Zhaozhao once thought she was dreaming, and she treated them with all her heart. Until they personally sent her into the Tomb Guard City, a place that devours people whole, she realized she was merely brought back to exchange and protect the fake daughter. For five years in the city, the Marquis household ignored her. They let the sons of nobles from distinguished families use her as a punching bag, abusing and beating her, leaving no part of her intact. She died in despair the day before she was to leave the city. At the moment of her death, Zhaozhao awakened. — A hundred years ago, the ghostly gate opened, and the Ghost King led thousands of ferocious ghosts out of the underworld to wreak havoc on the world. She was originally King Yan of the underworld, descended to experience trials due to dereliction of duty. Once Zhaozhao opened her eyes again, The world changed colors, and she held the Book of Life and Death, transforming into King Yan to claim lives. Judging good and evil, slashing enemies. Once she gathered eighty-one evil souls and captured the Ghost King, she could return to her position. — On the day she left the city, the Marquis couple and her brother came personally to pick her up. Zhaozhao didn't even glance at them, turning to get into Prince Su's carriage. Her parents cursed her as an ungrateful ingrate, and her brother sneered that she would come crying back to beg them. Later, all of them knelt on the ground, crying, begging her to return home. Zhaozhao watched coldly. She would no longer want anything tainted. — Prince Su was born shrouded in Evil Qi, and anyone close to him would either die or be injured. Everyone thought he would be lonely for life. He had a delicate young lady by his side. She appeared to be pitiful and charming, but was ruthless and decisive behind the scenes. Once she absorbed the Evil Qi and gathered the evil souls, Zhaozhao planned to pat her butt and leave. Prince Su's eyes reddened, saying, "Zhaozhao, take this prince with you!"

Meet Orihara Satoru, a 33 y.o. Game Designer who was about to confess his feelings to an overly cute co-worker. Yes, he ‘was’, because his life unexpectedly came to an end. He woke up in a new world. In the world, where 99.9% of the population are reincarnated people like he is, and technology co-exists with magic. In the world, where every few days Beasts are summoned by a Wave to bring chaos and disaster. "How will I fare in a world, where everyone is an Isekai protagonist? Also, my build is a random mess and why am I a girl now? Oh, well. Creative Thinking is Everything I Have." Who might enjoy this story: - readers who love references to popculture/games/anime (also after the first chapter they are not that abundant) - fans of an isekai/transported to another world genre - those who dislike OP protagonists and prefer MC to grow stronger bit by bit and rely heavily on his friends. - people who enjoy black-and-white-and-grey stories, where life is not always bad, but not always good, too. Warning: you may find a bit of profanity and nudity (or minor depiction of sex-related content) here. Also, a lot of anime/game/popculture references. I'm trying to make this story a little more adult and mature than usually advised in this genre. A bit more of 'reality' and details, usually omitted.

In a world where magic defines status, everyone possesses a unique Arcana, a personal manifestation of their soul. But for Leandros, a humble commoner on the Continent of Phantasia, his gift seems trivial: he can only create bubbles. Yet, when he discovers these bubbles can contain anything he imagines, a quiet revolution begins. Through creativity, curiosity, and a boundless imagination, Leandros sets out to change the way the world perceives magic.

In his final moments, 34-year-old Liam Carter, a burned-out indie game developer, regrets the life he lived—too many missed chances, too much fear. After dying in a freak lightning storm, he awakens in a parallel world where entertainment is stuck in the 1980s. Armed with knowledge of modern pop culture, technology, and storytelling, Liam seizes the opportunity to reshape the world from the shadows of obscurity to the limelight of global fame.

In a reality where fate governs all, one being was never meant to wake. Severence was a name long lost to time, a figure buried so deep in history that even the gods dared not speak of him. Yet, despite their efforts, he has awakened. Not by fate. Not by design. But by something else. He remembers everything. The battles he fought. The gods he defied. The moment he took up The Unmaking, a weapon that does not kill but erases. The war that should have ended with his existence vanishing forever. And yet, here he stands once more. Whole. Alive. Awake. But he does not know why. Cast adrift in a multiverse of endless worlds—where heroes wage war, where gods weave their schemes, where titans clash and destinies are written—Severence searches for an answer. Every world recoils at his presence. Every being, mortal or divine, whispers his name in terror. Every force in existence seems desperate to deny him the truth. Something woke him. Something brought him back. But why? From the burning battlefields of the Holy Grail War to the war-torn realms of gods and monsters, from futuristic dystopias to cosmic battlegrounds—Severence walks the path beyond fate, seeking the answer hidden even from him. And with each world, the whispers grow louder. "He has awakened." "The blade that unmakes walks once more." "Even the gods cannot escape its cut." Severence simply tightens his grip on The Unmaking. Let the gods tremble. Let the universes break. He will carve his own path—until he finds the truth.

A collection of short stories and other snippets of writing that get stuck in my brain and scenarios that I want to write, feel free to drop prompts and suggestions. I will be taking requests!

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.
