Let this be your last warning: This is no ordinary library.

None of the books on these shelves can be found anywhere else, for the stories they contain are either unfinished, forgotten, or rejected -cast aside by heartbroken writers. Once remembered and published as real books to be cherished and commemorated in history, the stories will vanish from the library's shelves. 

All of this was a fine arrangement: a moving library touring small towns around Mount Impossible, favouring Purnama Hollow as its home, with a librarian who loves coffee, mornings, and silence. Until one day, a rogue story-a story with the ability to kidnap readers into its pages upon reading the first line-appears in the Library of Lost Hearts, one after another. Six of them, to be exact. 

Follow the librarian and her friends: Kenanga, an ex-author who left the publishing world; Seroja, an amicable baker who gives hugs for free; Melur, a quiet believer in the library's potential; and Akram, the matcha truck owner next door, as they find themselves in the peculiar worlds the rogue stories lure them into. 

Find yourself holding blood-red tulips, turning into a butterfly that reverts back to a pupa at every inconvenience, haunting a village as a pontianak with a sword buried in her chest, discovering the truth of what really happened on Gunung Ledang, losing sense and sanity in the walls of a heartbreak asylum, and getting lost in the Milky Way with an astronaut performing open-heart surgery in space.

My Library of Short-Stories by Izakai_Lord

Welcome to the library, a realm born from the depths of a twisted mind, where logic pirouettes with madness and chaos reigns supreme. Here, the absurd and extraordinary collide: knives twirl through the air in deadly ballets, lava pits echo with the wails of tormented souls, candylands brim with grotesque creatures spawned from the union of nightmares and dreams, and cosmic entities swap destinies with mortals in an eternal cycle of ascension and fall. Among the infinite corridors lies a father defying the fiercest storm for love, a man returning to the past to face the haunting truth about a long-lost friend, and a dead man meeting the gods in bizarre landscapes from myth and legend This sentient labyrinth of shifting shelves and living tomes is presided over by a Librarian whose essence infuses every creak and shadow. Within these twisting halls, whimsy and horror play an eternal game of hide-and-seek. Darkness offers comfort while light blinds. Comedy and tragedy trade masks with gleeful abandon, and the boundaries of good and evil blur into a haunting nursery rhyme. Beware, traveler, crossing the threshold will not leave you unchanged. The library's secrets dig deeper than any wound, its stories unraveling the fabric of your reality and opening more eyes than you thought you had. So, tell me: will you take the risk? Within these walls, knowledge and peril are bound together. Here is your key and card-a gift and a warning. The Library is watching, waiting. Whatever you expect, it will not be what you find. Good luck, brave soul-your journey begins now.

Veiled Bride by deadlyproseee

Crowned Heart Series Book One ∙✧∙ "BUT I DON'T FUCK LIARS AMOUR." "I AM NOT A LIAR-R." Her deranged sob reverberates through the hall, making my heart ache with agony. I hate her, I hate her... I chanted the words as a reminder, till they reached the deep part of my heart. "STOP." Her faint voice full of desperation trailed after me until I ran away from her, just like she did, 4 years ago. But instead of satisfaction, all I am feeling is pain. Why the hell I can't leave her, just like she did? WHY? She loves to lurk behind shadows. He is the connoisseur of the heed. AADIT PRATAP SINGH I should fantasise about the black silky hair wrapped around my fist while my cock thrust inside the girl I am getting married to but all I can think about are the wild curls spread on my sheets as I praise the little hellion who stole my sanity four years back. My wife. Or I would say, my runaway bride. I never get to see how beautiful she is, all I remember is her wild curls running to her waist. Maybe she was not real. But if she is, she better stay hidden because once I find her, there is no going back. She will pay for her mistakes and beg me to take and leave her at the same time. Keep running Amour and wish I never catch you. ANAYA is a surprise. And AADIT PRATAP SINGH hates surprises. "Sparks will rekindle, Distance will dwindle. Will the deranged hearts reckon themselves?" *(BLURB IS CONTINUED INSIDE... PLEASE GO TO BLURB AND READ TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BOOK)

Fairytales with Fairy Tail (part 2) Completed by Moon_goddess47

"Levy," Erza asks, "Do you still happen to have that book?" Levy stills for a moment, thinking. "Actually, I might!" She moves the giant book from her lap-not without some struggle- and jumps up from her previous seat on the couch next to Juvia. The other girls waited excitedly, chattering about random happenings around town. The sudden rise in visiting relatives, for instance. It seems that the sudden increase in jobs is a direct result of this strange occasion. "Lu, Juvia, Erza come quick!" Levy shouted urgently. The useless chatter instantly ceased as all three girls rushed in the direction the petite bookworm went, the attic. "Levy?! What is it?! What's wrong?!" Erza beat the other two into the musty room and instantly a very audible gasp came from her tall frame. After a great deal of struggle Juvia and Lucy managed to push the redhead aside so they could squeeze into the room. When they finally made it neither of them could believe their eyes. The whole dusty attic was bathed in a bright, magical light. It seemed to swallow everything whole as the girls stood there in shock. Erza was the first to snap out of her shock. "Levy, what is going on? What is causing this?" "It's the book, Erza, the book of fairytales! Something's wrong! They're missing-" Levy tried to warn them but the book started producing winds near the speed of a hurricane, drowning out her words. Papers and random clutter flew around the room in a whirlwind of debris. "Levy! Girls, we have to get out of here, fast!" Erza shouted over the wind. But before they could run the light grew to blinding levels and the girls' visions went black. ~~~<•>~~~ *Trigger Warning* - Mental and physical abuse. *DISCLAIMER* I do not own Fairy Tail or the cover shown above.
