The Avalon:The bridge between life and death.

Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

The Side Character: I'm not the Female Lead

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.

I'm Not Just An Impostor! (Honkai: Star Rail)

Synopsis: Bai Ming had crossed over, but his body was gone, and his life was nearly over too. Luckily, he had a cheat—he could stay alive by causing trouble while transforming into characters from Honkai: Star Rail. No other choice. To survive, the show must go on! So, he transformed into "Big" Herta and made the Herta Space Station rise up on the spot and perform a spinning routine. He became Ruan Mei, handcrafted a giant of light to patrol the entire universe, thwarting the Antimatter Legion and the Interastral Peace Corporation at every turn. As Firefly, he ignited the sea of stars and kicked apart the starships of the Abundance followers. Then, as Acheron, he sliced through the Abundance Emanator, Shuhu, with a single stroke. When he took on the form of Robin, he reposted songs from his past life online. And as Silver Wolf, he flooded his own account with traffic. Until the victims started noticing something was off... Herta: How amusing. Someone dares impersonate me? Don't let me catch you, or you'll be in for a world of hurt! Ruan Mei: What intriguing ingenuity. I'd truly love to study this 'other me' up close. Firefly: There's another Glamoth Iron Cavalry in this world?! I must find her. Acheron: To think there exists one so similar to me... Do you still remember those bygone days? --+-- As the list of victims grew longer, Bai Ming, who'd been contemplating how to lay low, snapped his gaze toward Aha, who'd suddenly appeared and drawn all his 'enemies' right to him. He fell into a stunned silence. "Damn you, Aha!! You set me up?!" --+--

[Romance] Lord Black Dragon Still Hasn't Hatched Today

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

Opera O: 'You are the fated rival of the Conqueror!' Orfevre: 'A country bumpkin like you dares to stand before the glory of gold?!' Narita Brian: 'I will defeat you and claim my place on the highest stage!' Deep Impact: 'None shall stand before me—not even you!' After giving her all to overcome them in those scripted worlds and returning to reality, Dream Weaver couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. A flash of purple-and-gold cloak disappearing outside the training ground, a glimpse of golden hair around a corner, the sound of hurried breathing from behind the library shelves… 'Just my imagination?'

Opera O peeked out from behind a tree, her crown barely visible; Orfevre fumbled to put away her binoculars; Narita Brian’s coat got caught on a fire hydrant. In each other’s eyes, they saw the same comical panic, yet in the next instant, each reassumed their haughty expression. “If you’re just going to skulk around like some loser, then get off the stage! Only the victor deserves to stand by her side.” --+-- The Raws are: 赛马娘看我的眼神好可怕! Feel free to support the author.
