Between Blood and Ink

The night air smelled of rain and iron. The cliffs below Blackthorn Academy roared with waves, as if warning any foolish enough to venture too close. Ariana Blake stood on the balcony, her fingers gripping the cold stone railing. She was human, alone, and entirely out of place in a world that thrived on darkness. And yet… she had a sense that tonight, fate would not let her stay safe. A shadow moved behind her. Tall. Golden eyes glinting like molten sunlight, dark hair falling carelessly across a sculpted face. Jayden Cole. “You shouldn’t be out here,” he said, his voice low, smooth, dangerous. “I could ask you the same,” she replied, refusing to turn around. He stepped closer, and she felt the heat of him before she saw him. There was power in every movement, in every breath. Vampires moved differently—calculated, lethal, magnetic. And Jayden… Jayden was an entirely different kind of danger. “Do you even belong here?” he asked softly, almost a whisper, yet every word carried weight. “I belong wherever I choose,” Ariana said, though her pulse betrayed her confidence. For a moment, neither moved. The storm raged outside, lightning illuminating the dark balcony. And then, without warning, the distance between them disappeared. One look, one touch, one fleeting brush of hands—and the world narrowed until it was just the two of them. By dawn, the night had ended. Shadows remained tangled on the balcony, heat lingering in stolen touches, hearts beating faster than reason allowed. Ariana woke hours later with Jayden’s presence still on her skin, an ache she didn’t understand. He was gone. She didn’t know where he had gone, and she didn’t know why she could not forget him. Somewhere far away, in the silence beneath the academy, whispers stirred: “From fire and shadow, blood shall claim destiny. One night of passion will shape the future of the living and the damned.” A secret had been sown tonight—one that would bind their lives forever, whether they wanted it or not.

Regressor's Harem Of Vengeance

In this world, awakening a class is extremely rare, especially for children born from a simple background. But most nobles were blessed with the gift of awakening a class at the age of nineteen while only about five percent of commoners would be awakening theirs. However, every single one of them had only one goal in mind, to join the elite warrior party in eradicating the threats of their kingdom. Members of the elite warrior party had fame, riches and everything else anyone could ever asked for, so Ray felt ecstatic when he had been invited to join the elite warriors party. At the age of nineteen, he was from a remote village and all he had ever wanted was nothing more than to go on adventures with his new party members. However, things didn’t work out as he had planned it to be. Not only did he lost his mother, sister and childhood friend, he had also been treated poorly by his team members who were eager to get rid of him at the slightest chance they had. In the end, Ray was used as a sacrifice for their own selfish interests and all he could do was watch as they crushed his skull to paste. But luckily, Ray somehow found himself back to the very day he had Awakened his powers. And now, with the knowledge of the future at the back of his mind, Ray vows to find out the root behind his party members’ actions. Of course, he intends to also cruelly repay each and every one of them for what they had done to him, while also protecting those he had failed to save in his previous life.

THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

A romantic-comedy action saga of eternal love, endless reincarnation, and two immortals who refuse to give up. For thousands of years, a woman named Elara has been trapped in a cruel celestial curse: Every time she dies, she is reborn— in a new body, a new life, a new era… but never free. Across 47 reincarnations, two immortal beings have chased her through history: Aldren The sharp-tongued, dramatic Vampire Lord, master of blood arts, world-class overthinker, and hopeless romantic who burns kitchens when trying to impress her. Li Wusheng The stoic, ancient Chinese Immortal, cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, socially awkward around modern humans, and eternally calm—except when Aldren exists. They are rivals. They are enemies. They are in love with the same woman. And they have been fighting for her for millennia. Elara’s 47 Lives Princess. Pirate queen. Imperial medic. Vampire bride. Every lifetime reveals a new side of her… and another tragic end. Haunted by dreams she can’t understand, Elara slowly regains her memories— and along with them, the emotional weight of every love, loss, and death she once endured. Her two immortals do everything to win her heart: Competing in martial duels Destroying cities by accident Fighting sky demons at 3AM Arguing in parking lots Attempting romantic gestures that go terribly wrong All while Elara tries to survive her newest reincarnation. The Truth of the Curse Elara is not cursed because of love. She is cursed because she is the Eternal Core— the reincarnation engine that sustains the realms. If she stops reincarnating… existence collapses. A celestial deity seeks to reclaim her power. Aldren and Li are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect her. For the first time in history, the three stand together. The Final Battle and a New Beginning When the deity attacks Earth, Elara unleashes memories of all her past selves. She saves the realms— but her soul shatters once more. Reincarnation #48 begins somewhere in the modern world. Aldren and Li swear to find her again. Their rivalry reignites instantly: “I’ll find her first!” “Your senses are inferior.” “You outdated bamboo-stick monk—!” “You overdramatic bat—!” And somewhere in the city, a teenage girl looks up at the sky, unknowingly waiting for chaos to enter her life again. Thus continues the eternal chase: A comedy of immortals, a romance spanning ages, and a destiny that refuses to end.
