Mysteries Stuck In Time

Noctis accepts a simple job as a gardener at the isolated Vexwood Manor, expecting routine work and quiet days. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a place governed by unspoken rules and unsettling silences. The servants are polite yet distant, the corridors unnaturally empty, and certain areas of the mansion are strictly off-limits—most notably, the third floor. While exploring the manor, Noctis discovers a diary belonging to the previous gardener. Its fragmented entries describe repeated explorations, strange warnings, and specific locations within the mansion that seem tied to hidden truths. What initially appears to be guidance slowly reveals itself as something more troubling—clues that suggest the manor is not merely a residence, but a trial. As Noctis investigates the corridors and studies the mansion’s paintings, he begins to notice recurring names tied to the Vexwood family, yet finds no information about them beyond the manor’s walls. His attempts to understand the place only deepen his isolation, as contact with the outside world proves impossible. His curiosity nearly costs him dearly when he attempts to climb to the forbidden third floor. Stopped abruptly by the head maid, whose sudden appearance and inhuman composure leave him shaken, Noctis realizes the rules are enforced not by words—but by fear. When she vanishes without a trace, the warning becomes clear: the mansion is watching. Left with unanswered questions and limited choices, Noctis decides to turn his attention to the one place left unexplored—the basement. Not because he wants to, but because the manor has quietly guided him there. And for the first time, he understands that every step he takes is part of something far greater than he imagined.

The Anomaly Beyond The System

What would you feel if the last remaining happiness in your life—your cute, clingy dear sister—was murdered right before your eyes by a few worthless scum? By some bastards who shouldn't even exist in this world? I felt rage. Hatred. At them But more than that… I hated myself. Truly. Why? Because I couldn’t move. Paralyzed from the neck down, I could only watch as she died, as her blood spurted on me. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t fight. I couldn’t even crawl to her, while her eyes were turning dull. Ah~ now they turned to me. Guess they are going to kill me too. But I don't want to die, at least not when they are alive. I've learned something in this time. In this apocalypse... weakness is a sin. The greatest sin. Here, no rights protect you. Not like they protected us before the apocalypse. No one comes to help you. Friends, neighbours, relatives. NONE. Strength. Personal strength is the only authority that truly matters in this new world. And, If you think this is where my story ends—you’re wrong. Because, [Regression possible: Yes/No?] Guess this is my cheat. I will return. Stronger than before. And I will DEVOUR everything that stands in my way. So then… sayonara, readers. "Yes, I accept." *** [Warning: The story includes incest. I’m mentioning it early for readers who tend to avoid that. If you comment me something even after reading this, then just remember. I know where you live.(Just kidding... or maybe not.)] This is my first novel, so it probably won’t be perfect—but I’ll keep getting better as I write. Give your reviews on this so I can improve where I have to. [Note: The story is slow paced... I think. I am not sure how the pacing will go.] [Note: There won't be R18 stuff from the start, so don't come here expecting hot scenes from the first chapter. It will take some time before I focus on that.] [Most Important Note: There will be yanderes. Lots of them.] Character Illustrations are in the Discord. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kGKAaexz4P

One Piece: The Living Devil

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding! Defeat System at your service!] "Defeat System? What's the function?", Hearing the pleasant system prompt, Rosse felt even better. ══════════════ [Host: Rosse] [Strength: 63/100 (G+; even Marines are stronger than you)] [Overall Rating: A (All you’ve got going for you is status)] [Abilities: None] [Skills: None] [Note: Defeating enemies grants you rewards equal to the enemy’s overall rating -1. Killing or crushing the enemy grants a reward equal to the enemy’s current overall rating.] [Note: You can only receive the kill/crush reward for each person once, and defeat rewards do not conflict with kill/crush rewards.] ══════════════ [TAGS: #EvilMC(Not morally gray but total dark MC) #Clever #MultipleFemaleLeads] 1st World: One Piece 2nd World: COMING SOON... ═IT'S A TRANSLATION═ RAW: 海贼王:活恶魔

Nothing Happened Twice

On the morning of his eighteenth birthday a young man receives a letter from someone whose voice once formed the centre of his life. The letter describes an event that appears both precise and impossible. It speaks of a death, of a punishment carried out with deliberate patience, and of a past that refuses to remain where it belongs. Yet what unsettles him most is not the violence described within it, but the strange composure of the voice that addresses him. It writes as though the matter were already concluded, as though something long unfolding had finally reached its quiet end. Certain details resist explanation. Dates seem displaced. Memories shift in tone. The figure who writes to him feels at once intimately familiar and strangely distant, like a presence remembered from a dream whose meaning changes each time it is recalled. What begins as a letter gradually becomes something else: a point of disturbance in memory. Returning to the places and histories that shaped their childhood, he finds that recollection does not move in a straight line. Episodes once believed to be settled begin to reopen. Affections and injuries long buried reveal themselves as part of a pattern that may have been forming without his knowledge. The deeper he follows the thread left behind by the letter, the more uncertain the boundaries of the story become. Was the person who wrote it a witness, an executioner, or merely one of several selves produced by a life that could not be endured in a single voice. Nothing Happened Twice moves through the fragile territory between memory and invention, where the past is less a sequence of events than a structure slowly assembled in retrospect. At its centre lies the suspicion that what appears to be a beginning may already belong to a different moment entirely. Some stories open with a revelation. Others begin with the quiet sense that something has already been finished.
