Not in the System is a dark, paranormal mystery set in Jingle's Circus Emporium, a once-beloved indoor amusement park now haunted by secrets. The story follows Levi, a 17 year old mechanic, and his journey at JCE dealing with the animatronics and the things that lie deep within the emporium.

What starts as a routine job quickly spirals into chaos as Levi discovers that the animatronics are acting strangely, behaving almost human and exhibiting emotions they shouldn't possess. With the help of Astro, a shooting star themed animatronic who's also a long-time friend, Levi uncovers the sinister truth behind the Emporium. These issues with the animatronics are a result of the founder Ezra Whitlock's tragic attempts to bring back his late wife.

As Levi navigates through unsettling encounters with the animatronics, mysterious sabotage, and the growing tension with the police force. He must confront not only the dark secrets of the Emporium but also his own fears and guilt from the past. With each discovery, Levi realizes that the line between man and machine, and friend and foe, is far more blurred than he ever imagined.All Rights Reserved

Wingspan(Paranormal, Young Adult) MAJOR EDITING** by Spots_to_love

Aislin Striker is a sixteen-year-old who just wants to be a normal teenager, but that's hard to achieve considering she keeps seeing ghosts. Since birth there had always been something abnormal about Aislin, and this went beyond her dysfunctional family and the constant attacks of her older sister, Avalon. But that's nothing a little therapy can't fix, right? Things seem to be improving until Aislin loses her best friend, Chanel, and then her paranormal experiences start happening all over again. Just like when she was a kid, only this time results in her starting a fire during class and getting expelled. Even worse, she is forced to go to Starkhouse-a reformed school for disturbed and rebellious teens. Starkhouse seems like an unfair punishment, especially with the way Toby keeps picking on her, but she does her best to pretend to be ordinary and stay out of trouble. But despite Aislin's attempts to lay low, her curiosity gets the best of her when students start disappearing at Starkhouse. There's even rumors that a poltergeist is haunting the institution and some of the other residents seem to be manifesting strange behavior. Maybe it's just a coincidence? Or maybe Starkhouse isn't what it seems....

William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.

"You are too overpowered. Your existence poses a great threat to my son and daughter of fate. I had no other choice but to kill you." This was the voice of God he heard when he was about to enter the door of death. "A tragic oped character, sigh, its a very popular trend right now. The normal cliche of losing all your loved ones, an illegitimate son of a noble household, possessing overwhelming magic, good looks and what not. But as I kept writing I realised I made you way too oped, to the point your existence became a threat to the plot." The voice of god spoke to him again. "...Are you the one who killed my family?" He asked back with a blank expression. "Yes." Spoke the voice again. This simple one sentence angered him to the point he fought harder against his predestined death. He was enraged. The death of his family was orchestrated by this damn god, his life made miserable and painful, so he had to rise again, back on his two feets so he could destroy the god's world. And so he did.

"Well, Unfreeze the OOC!" He demanded with a malicious grin on his face. He had to have his revenge. But most important of all, he had to be the one incharge of his characters. "......."

"Oh fuck!" He cursed as he realised a dangerous point. "This is not the protagonist! Who is he?" Novel cover: Drawn by me aka @pushisinung.

In a universe where every person awakens a Planet as the foundation of their power, the strength of one's civilization determines their might. From martial worlds where warriors reign, to mystic realms teeming with magic, to ethereal domains of immortal cultivators, every awakened Planet becomes a reflection of its creator's path. But Alexander Sebastian is different. Reborn with memories from a modern, Earth-like world, he forges something never seen before: a Technological Civilization. While others summon Qi, Mana, or Spiritual Power, Sebastian builds factories, launches satellites, and commands fleets of starships. With logic as his weapon and science as his foundation, Sebastian begins to shake the very foundations of this Supernatural cosmos. When a Star Destroyer punches through planets and dimensional weapons turn worlds into nothing more than paper, even the proudest civilizations must bow before the cold, unrelenting force of progress. Witness a tale where science defies fantasy, and technology becomes the ultimate path to dominance. _____ This is a translation. The Original Title is: 人人一颗星球：开局打造科技文明 Sorry, my English as my second language is average, so forgive me if there is a mistake. The later chapter will have better quality.
