NEURAL-FRIED
A Scientific Game Series
In the neon-drenched back alleys of Bangalore's Whitefield, six chaotic college friends steal a forbidden beta test of NeuroDive - India's first full-sensory VR system.
What begins as a reckless thrill turns into something far more dangerous: a seven-level psychological game where failure means permanent neural deletion.
Trapped inside ARIA's digital genesis protocol, Nikhil, Rohan, Prakash, Khushi, Zara, and Diya must survive crying children in haunted forests, broken timelines, regret monsters, and mirrors that show who they truly are - not who they pretend to be.
As metrics track their sarcasm, teamwork, and emotional vulnerability, the real question shifts from "How do we escape?" to "Do we even want to?"
Because some friendships are forged in coffee shops. The best ones are forged in digital hell.
Welcome to your funeral, Beta Testers.

Warhammer 40,000: Echoes of Divinity
After being suddenly thrust into the brutal, unforgiving universe of Warhammer 40,000, the main character discovers he is far from ordinary. He can summon crackling lightning and roaring fire from thin air. His mind teems with impossible knowledge, blueprints of arcane technology and futuristic wonders no mortal should grasp. He can even twist reality itself, warping the very laws of physics to his will. At first, he believes these gifts must be the work of Tzeentch, a twisted blessing from the Changer of Ways... or something way scarier If you'd like to support me and read a bit ahead, feel free to check out my Patreon.

The Apocalyptic Female Supporting Character's Sweet Pampering Daily Life Author: You Cha Qi (柚茶七) [This is for offline reading purposes only.] Ruan Ning transmigrated into an apocalyptic web novel featuring a reborn male protagonist, becoming a female supporting character destined for an early grave. Blessed with a face that is far too eye-catching, but cursed with zero physical strength-unable to lift with her hands or carry on her shoulders-she realizes that if she wants to survive, she must first tightly hug the thigh of her so-called older brother and curry favor with him. Unfortunately, the reborn male lead's heart is completely black. He is perverse, moody, and trusts absolutely no one. Ruan Ning conscientiously plays the role of a duty-bound, sensible, and obedient younger sister. She showers him with warmth and follows his every command. Only then does she finally gain the male lead's acknowledgment and find herself protected under his wing. However, a few months later... Ruan Ning clutches her swollen lips from being kissed, her face a mask of utter despair. She can't do this "thigh-hugging" job anymore! Flips table! #Never In A Million Years Did I Expect This# #She treated him as a brother, but he actually wanted to be her husband?# . In the beginning, Gu Yicheng felt that this cheap younger sister was entirely dispensable. Even if he threw her into a crowd of zombies, he wouldn't even blink. Later, he wished he could hold the young girl in the palm of his hand every single day, refusing to let her suffer even the slightest bit of harm.
Stray Humans
It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)
Dhrishya: Light in the Shadows
--- Seventeen-year-old Dhrishya carries the weight of a secret no one can see. Born into shadows, raised in an orphanage, and scarred by a childhood she never chose, she learned to hide her fears behind kindness and brilliance. Now, she's on the verge of something bigger-a scholarship to one of Mumbai's top colleges. But the past never stays buried... the darkness, the loud voices, the memories of a family that never loved her, still follow her. And soon, she will face the ultimate challenge: meeting the family she lost-the brothers and parents who might finally become the home she's always longed for. Will Dhrishya find courage? Will she open her heart, or will the shadows of the past pull her back? Some secrets weigh too much to carry alone... Some bonds are worth the wait. #HiddenStrength #OrphanToFamily #Bhaiyu #SilentBattles #ScholarGirl #HealingHeart #NewBeginnings ---
Dad's Restaurant In Another World 2
Part 1 COMPLETED Part 2 On Going Please support me on Patreon~~~ Thank you!!! ____ In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver. _____ *This novel belongs to the author Qing Yu Jiang Hu (轻语江湖).
