But at that moment of glory, he was schemed by none other than the Heaven’s favored one—the Son of Luck's master. Forced into regression, Wang Ming is thrown back to his younger years, but this time, so is his greatest enemy. With fate itself seemingly against him, and the Son of Luck determined to end his rise before it begins, Wang Ming must walk a blood-soaked path once more. But he is no ordinary cultivator, he is a variable who defies destiny. Against the will of Heaven, against fate, against the Chosen… he will rise again. This is the story of a man who refuses to bow to fate.

KAISER CASTELIEU WAS NEVER GIVEN A CHOICE. Born to an absent father and a vampire mother, he grew up in the shadows, watching life unfold from behind mansion windows. However, when war finally hits their country of Windum, finally slithering it's way into the small town of Vakileh, he's finally forced to greet the real world. Take a deep breath, songbird, it's now or never.

After dying of cancer in a life shaped by perfectionism, control, and quiet despair, Areum awakens in the body of a girl who shares her name—just moments after the blow that was meant to end her. She remembers everything: a modern life of burnout, a past life as a witch burned for protecting the Earth, and now, this one—a world inside a romance novel. This Han Areum was never meant to survive. In the story "All For My Dearest", she was nothing more than a tragic afterthought—an illegitimate daughter erased in the first chapter. Her death was the catalyst that set the story’s beloved heroine on a path toward healing, romance, and happily-ever-after. But fate had other plans. Carrying the memories and pain of two lifetimes, Areum refuses to play the role written for her. Reclaiming her life means standing against the powerful family that once buried her—and staying far away from the heroine whose story she was never meant to be part of. The plot is already changing. And this time, she will live on her own terms.

The characters, the monsters, the kingdoms—they’re all real. But something’s off. The ending I remember? Gone. Twisted. Rewritten. And the new version? It wants me to become the Demon God.

In a hall that was supported by golden craving runes pillars, the surroundings were silent except for the heavy breathing of an injured white robe teen with green hair and blue eyes while holding a sword in his hand was kneeling on the floor.

In a world where cities float above the earth and ancient beasts roam the land, truth has long since been buried beneath the clouds… Seventeen-year-old Aryan has lived his entire life in a cursed land city — a crumbling outpost surrounded by monsters with fangs like swords and demons with human faces. His mother, a low-tier Light wielder, died from a mysterious illness when he was seven. His father? Vanished in a classified government mission years earlier, investigating the very secrets the world refuses to speak of — the beasts, the demons… and the floating cities themselves. No one knows Aryan exists — not the ruling government, not the elite nobles who live high above in shining cities suspended 1000 feet in the sky, not even the assassin guilds and rebel warlords fighting for scraps of power on the surface. But Aryan is about to shatter their silence. Hidden within this fractured world lies a shattered ancient artifact — a mysterious cube once powerful enough to hold the balance between land, sky, and beyond. Split into four fragments, each held in secret corners of the world — from the heavenly Sky Government cities to the beast-infested wilds — its true purpose is unknown… but it calls to Aryan. As he journeys across deadly lands aboard flying warships, hunted by assassins, tracked by beasts, and haunted by fragments of his parents’ forgotten legacies, Aryan begins to uncover a terrifying truth: The cities were never meant to float... The beasts were never meant to exist... And he was never meant to survive. But fate doesn’t care what the world intended. Aryan is coming — and he’s not just looking for answers. He’s looking to break the sky open.

In a fractured sky where floating continents drift over the endless void, memory is no longer permanent. Kael Virex, a quiet boy who sketches reality into being, and Zayen Thorne, his electrifying and impulsive brother, live on the scrap-isle of Kairoth — until a living crystal crashes into their lives and shatters everything they know. Touched by the unknown, they begin to unravel the truth: their world is not only broken, but forgetting itself. With every island that vanishes, with every person who blinks and forgets, the brothers grow stronger — but also less themselves. Hunted by the mysterious Pale Order, chased by assassins who erase laws of nature, and entangled in mysterious romances — one with a girl made of memories, and the other with a rebel courier who might not be real — Kael and Zayen must uncover the truth behind the “Pulse” that links them… before they forget who they are.
