He befriends her, and she becomes a light at the end of his dark tunnel with a promise of a love that defies death and a chest of gold that could free him from his misery.

The Rapture by DaniBrull

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

Expecting to return home soon, he is horrified to find himself possessed by a ghost-the "Number One Wanted Criminal of the Underworld." But this is no ordinary spirit. She's a decaying, parasitic soul, feeding off Mo Han's life force and slowly consuming his body and mind. As he struggles with this unwanted possession, Mo Han realizes that his fate is tied to this ghost's dark past and a larger, sinister conspiracy involving the very core of the Underworld. Trapped between the physical dangers of the new world and the constant torment of the ghost inside him, Mo Han must fight to maintain his sanity and survive.

The tension between Mo Han and the ghost deepens as they are forced into an uneasy alliance to survive. As their relationship evolves from hatred to reluctant cooperation, Mo Han uncovers the truth about his role in a larger game-a game where the fate of both the Underworld and the world he once knew hangs in the balance. In this world, survival is not about strength or skill alone. It's about learning to live with the ghosts of the past, battling forces both internal and external, and navigating a world where danger lurks at every corner. Mo Han's journey will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they uncover the mystery behind the ghost's power and the conspiracy that binds their fates together.

F I R E B R E A T H E D by RevivalFlower

Johanna Dumay came to the city chasing a better future, but what she carried with her was heavier than any suitcase-a heart of stone. Born from a broken home, her life was marked by disappointment, her dreams buried beneath years of loneliness and despair. In a nation that called itself "Christian," Johanna found no comfort-only deeper doubts. If God was truly loving, why had He let her world fall apart? With each passing day, her heart grew colder, her soul hardening into the very image of misery. And then-He showed up. An encounter she never saw coming begins to shatter the walls around her. The life she thought was meaningless is suddenly rewritten by grace, and every morning feels like waking into a miracle she never dared to hope for. This is the story of a woman once lost beyond saving-until love Himself found her. A story that whispers a truth many long to believe: no heart is too hard, no life too broken, no soul too far gone for God. --- "But Johanna-" her voice cracked with disbelief, eyes narrowing as if searching for the girl I once was, "you were the devil's darling all your life. What in the world happened to you!?" I drew in a breath, the weight of every scar, every midnight battle, every broken piece of me pressing into that single moment. "Jesus," I whispered, "Jesus happened to me."

CILEUNCANG by TekadPangestu

In the midst of the mystical realms and magical traditions of Sunda, Cileuncang invites readers into a world brimming with enigmas, mysteries, and the secrets of the supernatural realms of Nusantara. This story revolves around Rangga and Silvi, two souls bound not only by love but also by a great destiny that stretches between the human world and the spiritual dimension. When Rangga becomes trapped in Brekasan, a supernatural realm inhabited by mystical beings such as the Ipri, Danawa, Ririwa, and Bancala, he faces the dual challenge of survival and maintaining the balance between the human and supernatural dimensions. Meanwhile, Silvi, still in the real world, refuses to stand idly by. Driven by profound love and unwavering determination, she devises a grand plan that will change her life forever. The novel unveils the often-overlooked Sundanese mythology, including the legend of Ambar's child playing in puddles during the rain, the Cileuncang chant capable of unveiling supernatural veils, and the intricate connection between humans and the spiritual realm adorned with traditional teachings and religious values. With its narrative rich in cultural elements, Cileuncang is not only a tale of supernatural adventure but also a profound exploration of the traditions and philosophies of the magical and meaningful Sundanese heritage. Can Rangga and Silvi overcome the treacherous challenges of the spiritual realm and reunite their love separated by different dimensions? Or will they be consumed by the whirlwind of mysteries passed down by their ancestors? Unleash your imagination into a world unlike anything you've ever seen before-Cileuncang is a journey into the mesmerizing mystical treasures of Nusantara... *** This work does not get much appreciation in my country. Hopefully foreign readers will be more to support this story. Thanks ^^v

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) by StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
