"It's a tragic fate, really. We cheating death... it has no power here since we already beat it, but we can't even try to get the life we once had. It's depressing, drives people mad. It's awful."
What's it like to be brought back from the Afterlife? What's it like to live after death? What's it like to be alive again?
Louis is one of those "lucky" people who managed to cheat death, but he encounters terrible experiences while escaping which leaves him with the permanent pain of memories of those who've died. Thrown into Limbo, where all restless souls stay, Louis has to discover a way to stop these memories, discover dark secrets, and avoid the seeds of war while trying to adjust to his new life.
Coming back to life isn't easy, but neither is living out this new life.

Accidents Made Right 5: Autophobia
Warning! This is not the first book in the Accidents Made Rights series, so I'd highly recommend either reading the recap chapter which will be provided sometime in the future, or reading the previous books. "How many times must a man break, before they can truly give up?" Pain. Grief. Torment... chaos. These are the only things Carnage, both a strangely unique Knuman and Accidental, has been familiar with, ever since the faithful day when Knightmare ruined his entire life. For the longest time, he never thought he could've hated himself anymore. Until very recently, when he was tricked by Knightmare, who, disguising as a man named Robert Griggs, tricked Carnage into nearly killing his son. Now, Carnage seeks to get revenge on Robert, and while he's at it, hopefully, he can provide the other Accidentals the safety that they've been missing for years. Will his will give him the strength to take on an army or billions? Or will he give up, and finally end his eternal torment? Disclaimer! This story contains: Themes of self-harm/suicide, heavy gore, mature themes, strong language, intense fight scenes, tobacco usage, and an animal giving birth.Complete

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance.

And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?Complete
BEYOND: The Nameless Eater
The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters. However, those with enough mental fortitude tame these spirits within them and become capable of controlling the powers of these spectral demons. In this Journal that I have salvaged, you'll follow the perspective of the blindfolded Damien Lopez, a boy (Probably) with more going on with him than what meets the eye in his struggle to reclaim the peaceful life robbed from him by the cold whims of fate and discover concepts along the way, such as 'Love', 'Friendship', 'Forgiveness' and most importantly, 'Clobbering the life out of demons'.

The Deception ~ LN4
When Mercedes, a solo traveler and commercial pilot, finds herself dining alone in Monaco, she never expects the evening to take such a surreal turn. But across the room, she spots Lando Norris, the famous Formula 1 driver, trying to enjoy a quiet dinner away from the constant media buzz. Realizing how little genuine human interaction he likely experiences, Mercedes decides to pretend she doesn't recognize him, offering him a rare moment of normalcy. Their casual conversation about racing, aviation, and life on the road quickly evolves into a connection neither of them anticipated. As the evening unfolds, Mercedes and Lando share an unexpected camaraderie, with Mercedes carefully navigating the line between fan and stranger. But when the truth comes out and Lando realizes she knew exactly who he was all along, it sparks something neither of them expected. Their encounter, initially born out of a small deception, soon turns into a bond that transcends their high-profile worlds. The Deception is a heartwarming and unexpected story of two people from different worlds finding comfort in each other's company - and discovering that sometimes, the truth isn't as important as the connection that forms in its place. *THIS IS BASED IN THE YEAR 2029*Complete
