The Eastern Bizarre Tales

Patrick_Ji
Footsteps echoing down the dark corridor. Whispers drifting from the depths of an old mansion. Hidden curses in urban legends… All those unknown, spine-tingling moments passed down by word of mouth—they’re all tucked away in this collection of supernatural case files, adapted from real-life oral accounts. Every story here comes straight from a first-hand experience - a terrifying tale shared among friends late at night, a bizarre encounter on a trip, or an urban legend whispered in the back alleys of town. The author has polished each story with a documentary-style touch, stripping away over-the-top drama to bring back those heart-pounding moments. No excessive gore—just that quiet dread that creeps up on you when something feels too real. Each story is a supernatural mark etched in someone’s memory, and each telling is a touch with the unknown. For all explorers who love ghost stories, may these Eastern tales carry you across the line between reality and the unexplained. Standalone short story in “The Eastern Bizarre Tales” anthology. Each tale is independent and complete, and does not form part of a continuous series. No prior or subsequent reading is required.

STARLIGHT 2: THE STOLEN REALITY

What’s worse than the apocalypse? Waking up in the heart of its ruins with no memory of who you are. Stray awakens on Starlight 2, a planet that has become a graveyard for an advanced civilization. Without memories, without an identity, he is armed only with the raw instinct to survive in a world where the laws of nature have bent and twisted. This planet is no longer one; it is fractured into layers of shifting realities, hiding dark secrets behind every shadow. Stray’s journey is more than just a flight for survival. To uncover his past, he must traverse six Great Cities standing on the brink of collapse—each protected by a Divine Guard, powerful entities who hold the keys to the truth and serve as the ultimate barrier to anyone who dares disturb the world’s fragile order. Starting as an "empty shell," lost and confused, Stray begins to feel a burning empathy as he witnesses the desperate struggle of humanity within these chaotic cities. But as the truth begins to unravel, he realizes that his fall to this planet was no accident. There is an emotional purpose buried deep within his mind. There is a grand destiny awaiting him at the end of his journey. And there is a heavy price to pay to restore the reality that was stolen. "I don’t know who I was, but I know this world isn't supposed to be like this." Can Stray piece together his broken memories before the entire planet vanishes into permanent darkness? Or is his true identity the very threat everyone should fear? DISCLAIMER: The cover of the novel is an illustration of how the main male character sees a woman before he falls on the planet Starlight-2.

Arknights : Ch’en Hui-chieh, I’m Done Being the Good Guy!

“During his time in Lungmen, he took bribes, embezzled funds, and secretly eliminated his rivals—then fled after being discovered by Ch’en Hui-chieh. “In Victoria, he was involved in the attack on Blacksteel Worldwide’s armed convoy, the theft of Raythean Industries products, the Dublinn uprising under Eblana, and the assassination of a Grand Duke that single-handedly triggered the outbreak of war. “He helped the Armorless Union murder a director of the General Chamber of Commerce, throwing Kazimierz’s economy into turmoil, and kidnapped Viviana, the Candle Knight. “He became Chief of Staff of Reunion, assisted Talulah in bringing about the Chernobog Incident, and plunged Ursus into civil unrest. “He maintained close ties with Arturia, Laterano’s most wanted criminal, and was even suspected of being her husband. “He took part in Siracusa’s bloody incident alongside Lappland and Texas, leaving nearly a thousand dead or wounded. “He is also suspected of attempting to assassinate Theresa, leader of Babel and Sarkaz King.” When Roya was inexplicably dragged into court by a group of women and forced to face these charges, he was utterly dumbfounded. “I’ve been wronged, Your Honor! I’m not a bad person! At most, I just don’t exactly go around doing good deeds! I’m not that capable, and I don’t even know these women!” Surrounded by a crowd of girls behind him all claiming to be his wives, Roya was on the verge of tears. What kind of wives arrest their own husband and lock him up in solitary?
