House of Ghosts – Synopsis For thirty years, The House has been the world’s most secretive spy organization—an invisible war machine that builds its agents into ghosts and erases their pasts. Morgana Thayle, codename Cilantro, is one of its finest weapons: brilliant, cold, and dangerous. But when a mission in London collapses into bloodshed and her closest ally Noor is murdered, Morgana’s carefully controlled world cracks open. Noor dies with a warning on her lips: > “He’s inside your house.” --- The War Within Suspended from duty and burning with guilt, Morgana refuses to stand down. With her only trusted ally, Callen, she dives into Noor’s secret network and uncovers stolen files proving that Emil Kade—a rogue ghost from Marrakesh and Morgana’s long-buried past—is orchestrating an inside war. Every move she makes is one Emil has predicted. Every step reveals more about the traitor hidden inside their headquarters, someone with access to the deepest secrets of The House. --- The Director The deeper Morgana digs, the closer she comes to the man who built her: Director Adrian Locke, the House’s leader—and the man she’s engaged to. Adrian’s history is written into the foundations of the agency. He once trained Emil, forged him into a weapon, and lost him in Marrakesh. Now Emil has come back to burn it all down. But Noor’s evidence suggests something even worse: someone close to Adrian has been feeding Emil information for over a year. --- Betrayal and Blood As Morgana and Callen follow Emil’s trail through London’s underworld, they descend into a brutal, blood-soaked hunt. Warehouses burn, bodies fall, and the truth comes into focus: Emil is not just attacking The House—he’s dismantling it from the inside. Their investigation climaxes in a violent confrontation with Adrian himself, where Morgana lays the stolen drives on the table and Noor’s final recording plays: > “The breach isn’t outside. It’s inside. Someone with unrestricted access is funneling everything to Emil. Trust no one. Even him.” --- The Infiltration Even as Adrian tries to lock down the agency, a new recruit walks through the front doors. His file is spotless. His name is Elias Kane. But behind the ordinary face is Emil Kade himself, already inside the very heart of the House. Morgana, Callen, and Adrian vow to hunt down the mole. None of them realize Emil is standing just a few floors below, watching, listening, and preparing to tear apart everything they think they know. --- Themes and Tone House of Ghosts is an urban spy thriller filled with: Espionage and Betrayal – who is loyal, and who is already compromised? Romance and Tension – between Morgana and Adrian, tested to the breaking point. Violence and Consequences – gunfights, assassinations, and blood-stained choices. Identity and Legacy – what happens when the ghosts you make come back to haunt you? By the end of fifteen chapters, Morgana must decide if she is still part of The House—or if she will burn it down to avenge Noor and stop Emil. --- Tone and Genre Genre: Spy thriller / romantic suspense Setting: Modern London with international flashbacks (Marrakesh, art world, underground safehouses) Audience: Mature (16+) for violence, romance, and psychological tension.

I didn’t like the synopsis that was here before, so I deleted it. However, I can’t think of a new one right now, so I won’t be putting one up for the time being. As for what I have to say about this—despite the beginning, this isn’t a story about systems or dungeons, at least not in my view. It’s not my intention to write that, despite the obvious nods. This first part isn’t even focused on action, to be honest. I’d wager you could count on the fingers of one hand how many dungeons Hye entered even after 130 chapters. Portals were an easier way to explain what happens with the monsters, but that wasn’t the original idea. It was something I borrowed from works like *Solo*, for example, but it’s not what I envision happening in that world. Nowadays, I’ve already thought of a way to explain how things really work as I see them—in this case, without portals—but to change that, I’d have to rewrite the entire story, and, well, that would require time—a luxury I don’t have. I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to give it a chance, of course. Image created by AI

An eerie voice interjected Asura's words. "Hehe" "God!!" "Oh Asura!, have you gone mad from spending time in the darkness locked up in these chains." "I already told you, all I required from you is to write out your experiences from the start and Warn them about the dangers you faced. But it seems you are in no condition to do anything."

The whole internet is shipping me with my ex-boyfriend National film emperor, Chi Yu, lived up to his name, like a gentle breeze or bright moon. One day, rumors spread that he had a girlfriend whom he pampered for years. Media reporters scrambled to interview him, but his indifferent face in front of the camera said: Just rumors. Entertainment industry big shot, Gu Yuan, is rich, beautiful, well-connected, and has a boyfriend who loves and spoils her, Chi Yu. The outside world doesn't know that Gu Yuan had once spent a fortune to support Chi Yu's debut, making him quickly rise to fame, only for him to now turn around and dump her, truly heartless. - Not long after, Gu Yuan healed herself, quickly moving on from the emotional shadow, becoming indifferent and cold-hearted, never considering any man again. Chi Yu stood by the seaside, still like a gentle breeze or bright moon, but there was a persistent emotion in his eyes: "What will it take for you to forgive me?" Gu Yuan responded with a smile, pointing at the tumultuous sea: "Jump in. If you die, I'll forgive you, after all, the dead deserve respect." Chi Yu: "..." - That day, a video went viral all over the internet—a clip inadvertently captured Gu Yuan showing up on an outdoor reality show for a few seconds, where she was lying on a tree asleep, while Chi Yu gazed up at her affectionately. Initially, the whole internet was calm: Not shipping! Absolutely not shipping! Eventually, the whole internet exploded: Please, someone hold my head down and let me ship fervently!
