"I just wanted to check Ayato's crit stats. That's all. I didn't sign up for world-hopping, slime dodging, or accidentally becoming besties with a floating emergency food." Allen was your average Genshin-obsessed gamer-with a suspiciously large Nilou folder and a slightly unhealthy obsession with Ayato's artifacts. But when a truck decides to yeet him into another dimension -right as he was mid-build adjustment, mind you-, Allen finds himself in the world of Teyvat... only this time, it's real. No Vision. No Mora. No clue what he's doing. Armed with nothing but sarcasm, his locked phone full of Genshin memes, and a sword he definitely doesn't know how to use, Allen stumbles into an adventure alongside Lumine and Paimon, dodging danger, stirring chaos, and somehow managing to look cool doing it (on accident, of course). Because if fate's going to throw him into this mess? Well. He's going to make it weird.

Zorien can erase painful memories-but at a cost. Every time he takes away Yangxi's suffering, he loses a piece of his happiness. And because his happiness is only her, forgetting his happiness means forgetting her. Yangxi, haunted by tragedy, finally finds solace as Zorien erases her pain. But as her life gets better, his world fades into emptiness. With each sacrifice, their love slips further away-until his final act erases himself from her memories completely. Years later, fate brings them back to the bridge where their story began. But this time, Zorien is the one standing at the edge, broken. And though Yangxi no longer remembers his name or his face, her heart knows the truth. A love forgotten in time... waiting to be found again.

Blind dates never work out for (Y/N), and tonight was no different-until it was. A quiet alley. A masked stranger. A warning that should've sent her running... but somehow, she stayed. What begins as a night of disappointment quickly spirals into something far more dangerous-and thrilling-than she ever expected. Tangled in a game of glances, stolen kisses, and heart-pounding moments, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, fate, and the strangers we meet in the dark. Because sometimes, the people we're meant to meet don't arrive with flowers... They show up with secrets.

Truth or dare-isang karaniwang laro. Laro na kung saan magdidikta ng kamatayan ng bawat isa. Laro na kung saan mag-uungkat ng mga madidilim nilang nakaraan. Ang mga lihim na matagal nang ibinaon sa limot, hindi kailanman maikukubli. Ang bagsik ng larong ito, hinding-hindi nila matatakasan. Ikaw, nais mo bang sumama sa kanila? Handa ka bang malaman ang mga katotohanan? Tatagan ang iyong kalooban sapagkat hindi ka lamang magbabasa kundi kasali ka na rin sa kanila.

Naranasan mo na ba makontrol ang iyong panaginip? Tulad na lamang ng paglipad, paglutang, pagtalon mula sa mga matataas na building at pagkakaroon ng kakaibang kapangyarihan gaya ng mga napapanood sa mga fantaserye sa TV. At maalala ito ng malinaw sa iyong paggising? Kung ganoon, isa ka sa 1% population sa buong mundo na tinatawag na Lucid Dreamer. --- Meet Trisha Myliejoy Zamora, isa sa mapalad na pinagkalooban na makontrol ang panaginip nang walang ka-effort-effort. Sa pamamagitan ng Lucid dream, nakakilala siya ng mga katulad niya't naging kaibigan sa realidad. Isang gabi, sa kaniyang pamamasyal sa Dreamland ay kaniyang na-engkwentro ang isang lalaking napakakulit at ubod ng daldal na nagpakilalang si Moises. Sa una'y naiinis siya sa katabilan at pagbuntot-buntot nito sa kaniya ngunit habang tumatagal ay nagugustuhan na niya presensya at ang 'unfamiliar feelings' niya para rito. Dahil doon ay mas ninais niyang mas mapalapit at makilala niya ito, hindi lamang sa Dreamland, sa kaniya ring realidad. ---- Date Published: March 30,2024 Date Finished: April 05, 2025

The world follows an order, as if it were a rope with two tips. There is always a top and bottom, making inequality an irrefutable fact in this society. Kaya naman, kahit sinong magsabi kay Eryn Ymosselle Cuarez na pantay-pantay lang ang lahat, hindi siya naniniwala. Mula pa noong bata siya, kinamulatan na niya ang mababang pagtingin sa kanila ng mga tao sa Villa Aurin. Dulot 'yon ng hidwaan sa pagitan ng pamilya niya at ng pinakamayamang angkan sa buong bayan, ang mga Luna. She detests how she is at the bottom, so her dream is to climb the rope. However, after having a misjudgement against the heir of the Lunas, she begins to see him the other way around. Life then brings something new to the plate. What happens when she finds herself falling in love with someone who is at the other end of the rope, making the climb a lot more painful and riskier?

Choices. That is what love is all about. Which misery would you have chose, to have lost or loved? Be it as it may, is fate ever on our side anyway?

Rihan Rajawat Cold. Ruthless. Merciless. Betrayal shaped him, loss hardened him, and love-love destroyed him. The woman he once vowed to protect became the one who shattered him. Now, years later, she stands before him again, and all he has for her is hatred... or so he tells himself. Because beneath the ice in his veins, her name still burns. Aradhya Shekhawat Fierce. Sassy. Rebellious. She walked away, leaving behind the only man she ever loved-wrapped in a lie meant to break him. Forced into a choice that ruined them both, she thought she buried the past. But some ruins refuse to stay buried.

A kingdom on the edge of war. Three men locked in a battle of wits, will, and survival. Each with a target. Each with a purpose. None with the luxury of trust. A Soldier, forged in battle and betrayal, seeks only one thing-vengeance. His blade is drawn for the King who cast him aside, and though he is but a pawn in another's game, he cares not. If the Poet whispers the right words to guide his strike, so be it. He was always meant to kill. A Poet, whose words shape fates as surely as steel, watches from the shadows. He does not crave the throne, nor does he desire the King's downfall. He needs the King's power, the web of influence that shields his work. But the Soldier? The Soldier is a problem. A problem that must be erased. A King, who has ruled long enough to know that war is rarely won with swords alone. He respects the Soldier's strength, wishes to guide him toward peace-but peace is a fool's dream when the Poet lingers near. The King cannot allow the schemer to slip free, cannot allow the Soldier to fall deeper into his grasp. He watches, he waits, yet even a King's reach has limits. Each man has a target, but in a world where power shifts like sand and the lines between ally and enemy blur, the battle soon becomes more than they ever intended. In the end, only one will stand. Or perhaps, none at all.
