    "Life, is just a game. That we play without tutorial. And me, Shigaraki Tenko, I am... The final boss." When she came back to Japan after the war, Réka didn't find what she expected. No one expected her connection with Tomura, nor the two children by her side. A decade later, Tenko joins Yuei, to prevent that, what happened to his father, would happen again. But the past isn't left behind. It surges back. About a story they ignored. About a cult slowly rising. About a cursed legacy, he both tries to break and is entangled in. ---------- Mature contents: -Strong language -Physical/psychological violence -Bullying/harrassment -Moral ambiguity -Substance use/addiction -Depression/suicide attempt/self-harm -Necrophagy -Lots of mentions around death/grief/mourning since the core theme exploited here is Tomura's death and legacy. TL.DR = I can't gauge each person's sensitivity and mine is basically low so you're warned. ---------- This story is also published on AO3, Inkitt, Quotev, Space Battles and FFN.

    INTERNAL is a psychological supernatural thriller about eight strangers who receive mysterious invitations to a house party hosted by people calling themselves "The New Ones on the Block." None of the guests know why they were invited, and when they arrive, there is no host waiting for them-only a strange house that seems to have been prepared specifically for them. The story follows Shiro Narukani, an isolated eighteen-year-old still haunted by the deaths of his scientist parents and his older brother, Kuja, who died saving him years earlier. Shiro rarely leaves his apartment and has spent years talking to a mysterious second voice inside his own mind. Hoping to escape his loneliness for one night, he accepts the invitation and enters the house with seven other guests: Jakura, Patero, Asaka, Mina, Ren, Sol, and Dae. What begins as an awkward gathering quickly turns into a nightmare when the doors seal, the windows become impossible to open, and a distorted voice announces the true rules of the night: eight enter, but only one will be allowed to leave. The house forces the guests into games built around confession, deception, trust, and survival. Refusing to cooperate can trigger hidden traps, while lying or breaking the rules can have deadly consequences. As the days pass, the group begins to fall apart. Some guests die in the house's traps, others mysteriously disappear, and fear turns the survivors against one another. Alliances form and collapse as everyone begins to question whether the person beside them is a friend, an enemy, or the reason they were brought there in the first place.

    Gotham City is rotting from the inside. Violent gangs rule neighborhoods the police have abandoned, organized crime tightens its grip on the streets, and corruption reaches the highest levels of the GCPD. With the city rapidly falling apart, thirteen-year-old Jeremiah Davis inherits the mantle of Robin and becomes the third vigilante to carry its name. Guided by his father, Lawrence Davis, and the original Robin, Bilal Ali, Jeremiah begins a dangerous campaign against Gotham's criminal underworld. Armed with advanced technology, relentless training, and a determination far greater than his experience, he targets the brutal Apocalypse gang, the powerful Hammerhead organization, and anyone else preying upon the city's forgotten communities. But Gotham doesn't see Robin as a hero. As criminals place a target on his back and corrupt officers launch a ruthless manhunt, Jeremiah is forced into a fight far beyond anything his training prepared him for. Surrounded, outnumbered, and hunted by both sides of the law, he must prove that Robin can become more than an inherited identity. It can become a symbol Gotham fears-and desperately needs.

    "Some melodies don't just haunt the mind-they bleed into reality." For one young man, the nightmares are no longer just dreams. Every night: the same suffocating mist, a chilling song that feels like ice in the bones, and a shadow clad in black that refuses to turn around. He wakes with a hammering heart and fresh blood trickling from his ear-a terrifying sign that the boundary between his present reality and an ancient past has finally shattered. Driven by a desperate need for ratings, the HuaStar News Corporation decides to exhume a truth better left buried. Their target: The Yiling Burial Mounds-a forbidden wasteland sealed for centuries, whispered to be the site of a massacre so brutal that history itself tried to erase it. But the most chilling part? Legends claim the slaughter was led by the legendary Great King Lan Wangji-a ruler once celebrated for justice, now whispered to be a monster of unimaginable bloodshed. As the investigation team steps closer to the cursed hills, something begins to unravel. The name Yiling no longer feels like a place. It feels like a memory. The mist is familiar. The melody is calling. And the past is no longer content to remain buried. But Question Remaining? Was the King a savior, or a sinner? And is he investigating a legend... or returning to something that has been waiting for him for centuries? In a world where modern ambition collides with ancient blood-feuds, a dark, star-crossed bond begins to resurface - one that may not be love... and may be far worse. The song has started. And it will not stop until it claims what it has been waiting for. This is a BL (Boys' Love)/Danmei story woven with psychological horror, buried secrets, ancient blood-feuds, and rising chaos. Love and fear walk side by side here-slow, intense, and inevitable. ⚠ Disclaimer: This is a purely fictional work created for entertainment.

    Years into an epidemic, the quarantine system still functions. Meals are issued. Beds are counted. Transfers are logged. Mistakes are corrected-eventually. Daniel Mercer knows the difference between what the paperwork says and what is actually there. He delivers meals through East housing, where his wife Mara is getting worse and where a delayed update can mean an extra tray, an empty bed, or one more chance to keep her fed. At first, Daniel only uses what the system would waste. Then he learns which delays can be extended, which counts can remain open, and how easily an exception can become a procedure when the numbers still add up. Correct on Paper is a slow-burn psychological dystopian novel about bureaucracy, scarcity, love, and the point at which protecting one person becomes deciding what everyone else can afford to lose.

    Title: MONEY Author: Chloé Kosidlovska (@kosidlovska) "Everyone has a price. Some people just take longer to name it." In a world dictated by the cold, unyielding architecture of capitalism, extreme wealth isn't just power-it's a weapon. From influencer culture and high-stakes corporate divorces to subterranean black-market graves and digital blackmail, MONEY explores the brutal moral compromises ordinary people make when the system backs them into a corner. Told through interconnected, gripping character arcs-influencers, factory workers, art forgers, tech billionaires, and whistleblowers-this multi-chapter dark thriller lays bare the absolute cost of survival. When the dust settles and the balances are cleared, one question remains: What are you willing to sell?
