dark

Rosen, a physics whiz, is unexpectedly transported to a dark, otherworldly realm strikingly similar to the game *The Hunter*, becoming the noble young man Rosen. This world is teeming with monsters and fraught with danger, and upon waking, he finds himself in a manor ravaged by the high-ranking vampire Viken, his parents dead, and himself facing imminent death. Using his knowledge of vampires from the game and his innate "alchemy talent tree," Rosen calmly uses his alchemical knowledge to devise a poisonous scheme, causing Viken to be poisoned by drinking his blood. At the critical moment, a young female hunter, Annie, arrives to his rescue. Though no match for Viken, she creates a chance for Rosen to survive. The two escape together, and Rosen, combining scientific thinking with alchemy, uses nitroglycerin to create a trap, ultimately killing Viken in a cave. After escaping the vampire's pursuit, Rosen abandons his inheritance and decides to travel with Annie to Holdenburg in the north to remove the blood seal magic binding him. Along the way, they witness the suffering of ordinary people and encounter Mary, a peasant woman afflicted with a strange festering sore, and her daughter Alice. Rosen recognizes the symptoms as resembling syphilis and resolves to cure it. Meanwhile, he senses the village's outbreak might be linked to Dias, a resident mage conducting research, and encounters his magical attack in the wild. Leveraging his profound understanding of chemistry and skillful alchemical manipulation, Rosen defeats his opponent in an invisible battle. The two secretly bring Mary and her daughter to the town of Sunderland, planning to develop penicillin for treatment. Rosen realizes that in this dark and ignorant world, the combination of alchemy and science can unleash immense power. He vows not only to save lives before him but also to be the first to ignite the flame of civilization, changing the world with the light of science. However, the lurking mage, the mysterious "Blood Rose" organization, and the enigma of the "Apocalyptic Prophecy" still await him ahead.

Ten strangers awoke abruptly, deposited onto a stretch of flat, open ground—a desolate gray circle carved into the heart of a silent forest. None could recall their arrival, the reason for their presence, or anything concrete about the others who shared the space. The quiet was absolute, yet unnervingly expectant; even the stillness of the earth felt like a held breath.

In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again. Iyisha Clarke, a young doctor with more instinct than experience, crosses paths with Malcolm Briggs, a former Navy SEAL carrying wounds deeper than just the physical. They didn’t plan to travel together, much less depend on each other. But between dodging zombies, stolen kisses, and broken boundaries, their connection becomes harder to ignore. Supplies are scarce, safe zones are shady, and sex in a zombie apocalyptic world is messier than it sounds. Some people are trying to rebuild. Others are just trying to breathe. And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live. P.S. Though romance, the romance is slow burn so please be warned. First chapters are survival.

[Naruto + System + Darkening + Psychological Thriller] Feng Xu transmigrates into the world of Naruto, becoming the embodiment of Naruto Uzumaki’s suppressed, shadowed consciousness—everything Naruto buried in order to survive. After experiencing all the ridicule, loneliness, and despair Naruto suffered throughout his childhood, Feng Xu finds that kindness is no longer an option. Forgiveness? Impossible. Since the main personality is too naïve, then the hidden one must seize control. Those who bullied Naruto will pay. Those who framed him will fall. Those who tried to use him—whether villagers, shinobi, or the masked man manipulating the Nine-Tails—will learn fear. Meanwhile, Feng Xu quietly spins a web within Naruto’s mindscape, tightening it around the original personality, slowly devouring his will. > “Naruto… do you know the difference between a king and a beast of burden?” “Naruto… every suffering in this world is the price of one’s own weakness.” “Naruto… you can’t protect anything. In the end, your hands will stain every precious thing with blood.” “So give up. Hand your body over… to the stronger you.”

Have you ever been in a situation where the only way to save your life is by losing your virginity? Well. . . that was the situation Xanthe, a young virgin witch, found herself in. ‡ A month before her 22nd birthday, Xanthe realized she wasn't just any witch. She was a boon sent from the Dark gods of Sodom and was to be sacrificed by her own coven sisters. With the help of the High Priestess, she escaped through a magical portal which led her straight into the jacuzzi of the notorious billionaire CEO, Lorenzo Staniforth, while he took a bath. Unfortunately, their meeting caused Lorenzo to lose his girlfriend who barged in on them and assumed he was cheating. Now, Xanthe doesn't only have the witches of Sodom to be concerned with, but also an angry, arrogant mundane who thought himself Lord of everyone. Worst of all, she realized that the only way to make herself unfit for sacrifice was by losing her virginity. But, because of the unique power coursing through her veins, Xanthe couldn't get intimate with any mundane— except Lorenzo Staniforth who, somehow, was immune to her powers. How was she supposed to convince the annoying man to share a bed with her when they mutually hate each other?

Absolute power has a price. For Alaric, that price is his memories. Waking up in a blood-stained alley in Lapis Noctis—the city where oaths and promises are traded like currency—was just the beginning. Without a past and with enemies lurking in the shadows, Alaric discovers he possesses the "Obsidian Coin," a forbidden artifact capable of reclaiming ancient oaths and materializing them in the physical world. But every time he uses his power, the coin devours a fragment of his mind. His mother's face, his first love, his own childhood... everything is fuel for the magic he needs to survive. To avoid losing himself to madness, Alaric must ascend. He needs to find and reclaim the Primary Oaths, forging unbreakable bonds with the women who possess the power necessary to stand by his side. Only through these forbidden pacts will he be able to challenge the ancient Orders that control the city. In a world where morality is a luxury, Alaric will rewrite the rules. He does not seek salvation, he seeks dominion... even if he has to sacrifice his own humanity, one memory at a time, to achieve it.

In the stories she used to read, transmigrators woke in strong bodies with hidden powers and cheat-like memories. But when Mira opened her eyes, she found only weakness. A blind girl's blurred world. A heart that stuttered with every breath. A house too fine for someone her age to own, and neighbors who whispered of deliveries made at night. She remembers nothing of her old life—not her face, not even her name. All she knows is that this new life is already collapsing, and someone, somewhere, is paying for her survival. Yet behind the fragile skin and fading sight, something stirs. A beauty that makes strangers gasp. A nature that draws shadows to her door. A past that refuses to stay buried. And when the caretakers arrive—smiling, patient, too watchful by half—Mira begins to understand: she is not just another sick girl abandoned by her family. She is the key to a world on the brink of transformation, and the secrets locked in her blind eyes may be worth more than kingdoms. But for now, Mira must do the hardest thing of all—live long enough to discover who she truly is.

Sometimes his visions come true, but other times they do not. The events he sees are often about the near future or important moments that can be dangerous or affect people around him. He does not know where this power comes from. Is it a gift or a curse? Does it come from inside him, or from some unknown force controlling his fate? Gensu often feels confused. He does not know if he should believe what he sees or ignore it. He also struggles to decide if he should act to change what he sees or do nothing. Every vision makes him ask the same question: should he try to change the future, or let things happen as they will?

It was just another normal day for Lim Soohyun. He went to work, grabbed lunch from his favorite local restaurant, and clocked out exactly on time. Roaming the streets of Gangnam after work was his favorite pastime — there was always something amusing or strange to see among the lively night crowds. But tonight, what caught his eye was a random man standing beside an even more random-looking Gashapon machine. Obviously, he had to try it. The price was ridiculous and the man said he can only spin once, there was even a chance he might not get anything. Swallowing hard, Lim Soohyun turned the dial. When a capsule finally dropped into the slot, he exhaled in relief. The suspicious-looking man handed him the capsule. Inside was a cheap piece of pink gum and a note with instructions. That was it. The note promised “promotion” and “points” if he followed the tasks listed, points he could later use to buy more capsules. Lim Soohyun did what any sane person would do after reading it. He sold everything he owned, quit his job, abandoned his apartment, and bought the most haunted house on the market — just as the note instructed. With a soul that only craved entertainment, what could possibly go wrong?
