    ❝비로소 지하의 별로 우리❞ ━━━━━ ♡ 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡 into The Pit - a wasteland of twisted metal, rotting memories, and lost souls - (Y/N) (L/N) swore she'd never forgive the world above. Her sister was accused of a crime she didn't commit and cast into the abyss like trash, and when (Y/N) was branded guilty by association years later, fate decided to drop her into the same hell. But what the Sphere didn't expect... was for her to survive. Armed with only her intelligence, a crimson rapier known as Crimson Fang, and the relentless will to avenge her sister, (Y/N) climbs her way through filth, blood, and fire. Behind her polite smile lies a storm of rage; behind her kindness, the scars of betrayal. She doesn't fight for glory. She fights for retribution. Her path crosses with the Cleaners - and one man in particular, Zanka Nijiku, whose calm exterior hides his own fractured soul. He sees her strength, her quiet fury, and the unshakable resolve beneath her gentle eyes. To everyone else, she's a survivor. To him, she's something more - the one person who makes the hell beneath the Sphere feel almost human. But revenge has a price. And in a world where trash becomes weapon, trust becomes dangerous, and love feels like rebellion, (Y/N) must decide - Will she burn the world for her sister's justice, or let someone finally save her before she burns herself alive?

Soon, a broken Tony Stark, a young Peter Parker, and the future Dark Knight himself all become entangled with a man who understands one thing better than anyone else: The human mind.

    Once a boy trapped in the hands of a monster, Grayson Smith now stands a man carved from scars and quiet nightmares. No longer frail, no longer anyone's battlefield. He knows the fight, the ground, and the cards. Years after Charlie, years after a damaged teen, he inherits a crown he never asked for but life prepared him to bear. His scars speak louder than words, telling stories untold, half the Mafia wants him erased. The other half-led by the most feared boss alive-wants to claim him. Why? They share the same blood. The same flesh. Once rejected-now hunted to be taken back by force. Grayson-the silent shadow hidden behind castle walls, the mind behind the name Pokus II-finds himself trapped again in a circle of impossible decisions. But this time he isn't alone. At his side stand the ones he must protect, even as the growing menace threatens to bring him to his knees. He can no longer run to his uncles. He is no longer the child who needed safe hands. He is the Silent Hands now- the one who wields the sword. But the greatest enemy isn't the Mafia at his door-it's the darkness locked inside him. A hunger for destruction. A shadow born from blood he never wanted. A part of him that whispers he is no different from the man who abused him, no different from the father who rejected him, no different from the cruelty running through his veins. Grayson must fight that darkness-He must be different. Different from the man who abused him. Different from the father who rejected him. Different from the ruin that runs in his family and in his veins despite his pains and losses and he must watch his heart being torn again and again. What will become of Grayson Smith? 🍀Hopefully, the last book! 😁🍀

    Bill came to Rosehaven to start over. No past. No mistakes. No running. Then he meets Flora. She's calm. Beautiful. Interested. And she knows things she shouldn't. What begins as a simple night out turns into something else-something darker. A voice in his head. A pull he can't resist. She doesn't ask for much. Just small things at first. A favour. A secret. A promise. And Bill will do anything for her. Anything. Even when he knows he shouldn't. Even when he knows what she is. Because some people don't fall in love. They get taken apart.

    THE BLACK STATIC At exactly 2:13AM, the world glitches. Phones hiss with unexplained interference. Radios lose all frequency. Security cameras distort into waves of static. And inside that static... something speaks. Most people hear nothing but noise. But some hear voices. Voices that sound familiar. Voices that sound like people they lost. Voices that should not exist anymore. Kai Mercer, an audio engineer who spends his nights restoring corrupted recordings and decoding damaged sound files, never believed in unexplained phenomena. Until he receives a mysterious audio file from an unknown sender. A routine restoration job. Until 2:13AM. When the recording changes on its own. And the static says his name. Then it speaks with the voice of his missing sister. A sister who vanished years ago without a trace, leaving behind only a phone still recording endless noise. As Kai investigates, he uncovers something far worse than a corrupted file. Across the world, people are reporting the same signal. Some are listening. Some are obeying. And some are disappearing. They call it The Black Static. A signal that does not just transmit sound... It listens back.

    Humanity never defeated fear, guilt, or despair. It outsourced them into simulations. The Replicas are quantum worlds built to contain humanity's darkest emotional residue. In one world, people live under the tyranny of corporate ratings. In another, they are ruled by debt, steam, and rusted laws. Somewhere farther down the chain wait magic, samurai, and other carefully engineered forms of human hell. Alex Nord was a successful lawyer on Phobos-Port, and he believed his life was real. Then a medical scan split his consciousness open, and he woke inside another man's body - in a world where someone else's pain had become his memory. Now Alex is a bug in the system. He moves through the Replicas, inhabiting borrowed lives and searching for the Core - the only world that might still be real. Behind him come the cleanup algorithms. Through the cracks, something is watching - something for which human consciousness is nothing more than an error of observation. And it has already noticed that Alex is awake.

    No one expected the quiet girl to be the one hiding the darkest truth. She was known for being distant, unreadable, and strangely calm in situations that unsettled others. People called her "weird," "cold," even "creepy," but no one ever bothered to understand why she was the way she was. Until the day she was found in her bedroom. Dead. And beside her was a diary. At first, it looks like a collection of thoughts-broken pieces of a lonely mind trying to make sense of the world. But as the pages are read, something unsettling begins to surface. The diary doesn't just reveal sadness... it reveals control, obsession, and a disturbing comfort in watching others suffer in ways no one ever suspected. But even that isn't the strangest part. Because the deeper the entries go, the more it becomes unclear whether she was simply documenting her thoughts... or confessing to things no one ever realized were happening right under their noses. Friends start to question everything they thought they knew about her. Memories begin to shift. Certain events no longer match what they remember. And some people realize, too late, that they may have been part of her story in ways they never agreed to. But the final pages change everything. Because they don't just describe her life-they challenge the idea of who was really in control the entire time. In a story where truth is distorted and morality is blurred, one question remains: Was she a monster... or was sheb created by the world that surrounded her? And once you start reading... There's no going back.
