The Undead Who Holds a Thousand Mysteries

Zhao Huang was an eighteen-year-old teenager forced to drop out of school due to financial difficulties. One day, while Zhao Huang and his parents were traveling to their new home, another vehicle collided with their car at high speed. A bystander called for an ambulance, but only Zhao Huang survived. Both of his parents died at the scene due to excessive blood loss. Left with no family and no direction, Zhao Huang chose to live on the streets. He fought to survive but always adhered to honest principles, never attacking without reason. Years passed, and by the age of twenty-five, Zhao Huang had begun to gain recognition in street circles as a formidable fighter who always fought fairly, though he was not yet widely known. However, during a confrontation with an armed criminal gang rivaling his own group, Zhao Huang resorted to underhanded tactics for the first time—throwing sand into his opponent's eyes before thrusting a wooden plank into the eye of an armed adversary holding a gun. That battle marked his first victory against an armed opponent. Over time, Zhao Huang continued to rise through the ranks of the underworld. He formed a large organization that eventually dominated all of China and half of South Korea. Yet, at forty-five, Zhao Huang discovered he was suffering from a severe form of cancer. Despite this, he never sought medical treatment. He continued living as he always had—fighting, leading, and defying the world as if death meant nothing to him. At forty-eight, Zhao Huang’s body could no longer endure the pain. He passed away without medical care, without fear, and without regret—a hard-edged street ruler who lived fiercely until his last breath.

The Alpha Prince and the Shadow Wielder

Havenscove was meant to be ordinary. A windswept coastal town where grief could fade with the tide, where Ava Morgan could pretend she was nothing more than a healer and mother, not the last descendant of a bloodline bound to an ancient curse. Her shop, Haven’s Nook, smells of salt, rosemary, and secrets but the peace she built there is starting to crack. Something is stirring beneath the waves. Men wash ashore with black veins crawling under their skin, and when Ava lays her hands on them, the darkness obeys her touch. It answers her. It remembers her. Across the Veil - the shimmering boundary that divides the human world from the fading Shadow Kingdom, a dying King sends for his son. Casimir Levi Kingston, the Alpha Prince, has spent years in exile, drowning his rage in tavern smoke and silence. But when the Veil begins to bleed, duty drags him home… to the very town where fate waits in human form. And somewhere between their worlds, a third power wakes. Elijah Varyn, the Shadowborn Prince, once sealed inside the Veil itself, has begun to remember his name. His heart beats with the same magic that Ava carries in her blood, and when she heals, he feels it. Her power calls to him across realms, and every heartbeat weakens the cage that holds him. Ava doesn’t yet know that she was born to guard the Veil. Cas doesn’t yet understand that she is the key to saving it. And Elijah, forged from darkness and longing, will tear the world apart to claim her. When light touches shadow, desire becomes weapon, and love becomes war. The Veil is breaking, And if it falls, nothing will ever be the same again.

Justice League: DMC

Alright, imagine this: the world is just one bad Tuesday away from total destruction. Caped heroes are busy fighting shadows, but then, someone unexpected crashes their apocalypse party. Not a hero. Not a villain, either. More like trouble with a heartbeat and a devilish grin. Meet Rex. He's twenty-three, sharp-tongued, and carries more attitude than sense. He roams Gotham’s underbelly, taking on the dirty jobs that the Justice League won’t touch. You know, the kinds of tasks that would make Superman’s cape wrinkle. Rex wields a massive sword called Rebellion and carries twin pistols named Ebony and Ivory—of course he does. Just to keep things interesting, he’s got a tactical AI, [V.E.R.G.I.L.], chatting in his ear with the charm of a sarcastic toaster. This guy is a walking hazard sign. He doesn’t follow anyone’s rules. In fact, half the time, he doesn’t even follow his own. As for the League? They’re not fans. Batman watches him with suspicion from every shadow. Wonder Woman calls him out directly; she can't stand his swagger. Superman just gazes at him, perfectly coiffed and doubtful, questioning if Rex is actually human. Meanwhile, demons are flooding out of hell-gates like it’s Black Friday at the apocalypse mall. The line between “hero” and “what on earth is that” is basically non-existent. Now, here’s where it gets strange. Rex should be dead—six times over—except Evelyn Graves steps in. She has no superpowers and no high-tech gadgets. She’s just a trauma surgeon with more guts than half the League combined. She pulls Rex back from the brink, and suddenly, fate intertwines their lives like a noose. Every time Rex fights, he grows stronger—painfully, brutally, as if the universe is challenging him to push through. [V.E.R.G.I.L.] is always around, offering cold logic or the occasional insult, guiding or mocking as needed. And here’s the twist: Rex doesn’t take sides. He doesn’t bow down. He doesn’t care about gods, flags, or whatever code the League is preaching. He is the chaos they can’t control. When they finally realize the devil isn’t playing for their team—or any team—the real battle begins. And believe me, nobody is ready for that storm.

The Wolf King's Human Queen

Elara’s world was small, quiet, and safe—until a tear in reality ripped her from it. One moment, she was a librarian reaching for a book. The next, she was thrown into the heart of a majestic, terrifying throne room made of obsidian and pulsating moonstone, kneeling at the feet of a king who was not a man. Kaelen is the Primordial Wolf King, a being of ancient, limitless power who rules the Ashwood Realm with absolute, merciless authority. For millennia, his heart has been frozen, his cruelty legendary, and his word law. He shows kindness to none and answers to no one. His first command is to have the strange human intruder disposed of. But when a single, terrified tear traces a path down Elara’s cheek, something impossible happens. He feels it. For the first time in an eternity, something stirs within him. With a touch that can shatter mountains, he wipes the tear away, both baffled and intrigued by the fragile creature who “leaks.” His curiosity becomes a command of its own: she is now his guest. His prisoner. Trapped in a breathtaking world of dangerous magic, political intrigue, and savage beauty, Elara must navigate the court of a king who is a storm of violence to everyone else but whose touch for her is devastatingly gentle. He is a paradox—ruthless to his enemies, yet he annihilates anyone who looks at her with ill intent. He gifts her conquered kingdoms and asks for nothing but her presence. As a powerful attraction grows between them, a deadly mystery unravels. Elara’s summoning was no accident. An ancient enemy, seeking to dethrone the Wolf King, thought a human would be his greatest weakness. They were wrong. She is becoming his ultimate strength. To survive, Elara must embrace her own hidden power and place her trust in the hands of the cruel king who holds her heart captive. But in a realm where love is as dangerous as war, can a fragile human truly become the queen of a world built on shadows, and claim the heart of the king who commands them? ---
