Regression: I Claim Everything

“What the hell—?!” Arahan jolted awake. This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t his body. Just hours ago, he had been a 30-year-old professor—one of the youngest lecturers in a prestigious college. An orphan who built everything from nothing. At twenty-five, he had already achieved what many couldn’t in a lifetime. A stable career. Respect. Wealth. A wedding with a beautiful bride from a good family. For once, life had finally begun to smile at him. And then, a drunk rich brat speeding his Thar at 220 km/h from the wrong side of the road. A flash of headlights. A scream of metal. Darkness. Arahan died on the roadside like a stray animal. And the worst part? He knew the culprit would never be punished. Money would bury the case. Power would twist the law. Justice was a luxury for the poor. But what hurt even more was not the injustice. It was a regret. He had lived responsibly. Too responsible. He never dated. Never partied. Never had Sex. Never travelled. Never loved recklessly. Never indulged. He chased stability. He chased respect. He chased a “good future.” And died before he could live. A virgin. A man who never tasted freedom. A man who never claimed what he desired. A man who never enjoyed the forbidden pleasure. But fate was not finished with him. When Arahan opened his eyes again— He was back. This time, he won’t live cautiously. This time, he won’t let power crush him. This time, he won’t die powerless. Wealth. Influence. Pleasure. Revenge. In this life, Arahan will claim everything.

Fading into you ..the Ghost Orchid's last Bloom

Heaven keeps accounts. The Cloud-Veil Sect has perfected a Dao of purity a cultivation path that can cleanse demonic corruption and karmic fire alike. At its center stands Yan Qinghe, the Sect’s youngest Elder and its most closely guarded secret. Born with a mutated Purifying Spirit Root, Qinghe’s blood carries the scent of Midnight Winter Orchid a fragrance capable of suppressing even the deepest corruption. But every life he “purifies” leaves residue behind. Karma does not vanish. It only changes hands. His Golden Core has never formed properly. Instead, it crystallizes. Jade creeps slowly through his meridians, turning flesh to translucent stone. In less than three years, he will no longer be a cultivator. He will be a relic. Lu Zhao was once a war general at the Nascent Soul stage until he drowned in battlefield karma. Now his spiritual veins burn with karmic flame, and every breath feels like molten iron beneath his skin. He captures Qinghe for one selfish reason: To steal that fragrance. To numb the pain. He does not know that every breath he takes shortens Qinghe’s life. When Heaven begins correcting the imbalance, when sect politics tighten like a noose, and when purification reveals itself to be nothing more than a shifting of sin both men are forced to choose: Remain tools of a broken Dao, Or fracture Heaven’s accounting itself. If purity requires sacrifice, and karma demands payment Who, in the end, will bear the cost?

[Game Development System Activated] The popularity of the game he creates can be exchanged for powerful abilities. So Xu Qiong makes a bold decision. He develops a game based on the tragedy of Onpharos and releases it to the world. The name of the game? Collapsed Star Railway. At first, nobody takes it seriously. "A turn-based game? Another fan-made project trying to ride the Star Rail trend?" But when players begin to experience the story… They laugh. They cry. They become completely immersed. And when the plot reaches its climax, the entire world falls silent. "You will bathe one last time in warm, dazzling gold…" Then something impossible happens. Events from the game begin appearing in reality. The universe is shaken. Players are stunned. "Wait… wasn't this just a fan game?" "How did it become a prophecy?" And when the story finally reaches its end… When the pink-clad girl is about to enter the endless cycle of reincarnation once more— Xu Qiong stands at the end of fate and whispers: "How many sins must a person commit… to bring her back from the depths of hell to the dawn?" "How far must one travel… to find their original self at the end of time?" The epitaph is too short. This life is too long. Xu Qiong reaches out his hand. "Xi Lian… I'm here to take you home."

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
