Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond. Content Warnings: Violence, semi-graphic gore, character deaths, profanity, mild drug and alcohol usage, abuse discussed but not shown, and morally-questionable people doing morally-questionable things.

"Keep it safe." Alexandr whispered, hot breath splashing onto Theo's face. Just one inch and those lips would touch his face, gently. A finger swept a wet strand of hair from Theo's face carefully, and Alexandr pressed his thumb to the flesh under his right eye, tightening second after second with a cruel pressure, "Be careful who you make friends with." Theo slammed his hand into the man's broad chest, and Alexandr stumbled backwards a few steps, burning hand detaching from his face. The man's grinding gaze lifted towards him, and a deliberate smile spread over his thin lips, stretching them up and up, shrouding his sculpted face in a warped glory of beauty. - He'll learn to only look for him, There was none of the usual ceremony of blood baths and O Fortuna! There was only the simple click. And it was done. He chained this man to him. And even though he'd done this for every pet before, something became different. The air? The magnetic field around them? Something had shifted and the leash burnt heavy in his hand. It felt like the beginning of... an end. - Theodore Harrow thought all he had to do was wait for the game to end, but when he meets the capture targets, all he wants to do is run away. Stay sane? They could take his body, devour his heart, crush his life, but they couldn't take away his sanity. That was the last line, and if that too falls away... he'd lose his soul. A virtual reality dating sim and Otome game is not so cool when a) All the capture targets are men, and you're a straight guy b) Everyone who has come out of the game has become mentally ill c) None of the characters are sane Cover image does not belong to me, it was taken from Pinterest; all credit goes to 백수 who is the artist.

It's being updated regularly with a huge stock pile! ==== A little soul floats all alone in a vastness of nothing. The only thing the soul knew about was its name. The soul never remembered meeting any person, so it was surprised when it heard a voice in its head. But luckily, the person seemed kind, it was truly great that this was the first person that the soul met- *a couple minutes later* System: now you have no choice to comply or you will sadly be terminated! ☆〜(ゝ。∂) Little soul: I regret. =========

Finding a strange app on his beloved notebook, Su Yan is sure he has fallen prey to a hacker. But why is this strange app issuing tasks related to his favorite hobby? Wait ... What? He is supposed to write BL?! And what is this shitty task about experiencing story immersion?! No! He'd rather not become an author if that means he also has to become a shou! Follow Su Yan on his path to becoming the world's greatest BL author ... and to reluctantly becoming a beloved shou thanks to a shitty Lovely Writing System!
