THE UNSEEN FLAME

Lumina_Vybrant
She was born the night her mother died. She has been unseen ever since. Lily Thompson grows up in her father’s grand house as a stranger. Her stepmother, Cecilia, starves her, locks her out, and smiles sweetly whenever her father is home. Her stepsisters laugh. Her father, wrapped in grief and business trips, hears only what Cecilia wants him to hear. Only Martha, the housekeeper, slips her food in secret. At twenty, Lily loses her father in a sudden accident. She thinks that grief will soften the house. It doesn’t. At the will reading, she learns her father left her almost everything, along with a letter begging her forgiveness. Then Cecilia and the family lawyer team up to take it from her, promising to give it all back “when she is grown.” Two years later, a slap, a thrown suitcase and a shut door send her into a rainy night. She is nearly run down by a black car belonging to Alexander Whitmore, one of the richest and most guarded men in the city. He takes her in without asking for anything. Then, to save his inheritance from his father’s demand that he marry, he offers her a contract: pretend to be his fiancée for a year. It was supposed to be fake. But the kisses in public feel real, the family she meets is warmer than any she has known, and Alexander’s father seems to recognize her name. The truth about her father’s last day is hidden, and her stepmother has not stopped watching. Cecilia’s last move is waiting for Lily on her wedding day. This is a story of cruelty, courage and a love that begins as a lie. It is full of twists, danger and a girl who finally refuses to wait for anyone to save her.

VRMMO: World's First Glyphborne

The highly anticipated new game Dawn of Divinity, Dawd as it had come to be known, had finally entered its closed beta testing stage. It was an event that became a who's who of popular names in the gaming space, from high ranking E-sports players, to popular streamers and even a few journalists from the big name publications. Filling in for a slot intended for her brother, Valerie Ashcroft, a young woman with a degenerative muscular disease stood out amongst this crowd.

However, when the game entered the public market and more players entered this fantastical world, it soon became clear that all was not what it seems as the so-called fictional world starts to bleed into reality. Faced with obstacles real and 'fictional', there is only one thing Valerie needs to say.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Starting With Yoriichi's Template

Yami enters the world of jujutsu wielding the power of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a mortal man whose blade stands equal to gods. This is a world of curses, blood, and endless regret. If only Riko hadn’t died that summer. If only Haibara Yuu had lived long enough to smile to the end. If only Nanami Kento had reached the Malaysian beach he once dreamed of. If only every tragedy could be cut down before it was born. Yami is not a jujutsu sorcerer. He is the sun walking in the darkness. “I’m here to do only three things.” “Slay demons. Slay demons. And damn it, slay demons.” As cursed spirits run wild and the corrupt higher-ups poison the world from above, Yami draws his crimson blade and declares war on everything that deserves to burn. “If this world is rotten to the core, then I’ll reduce it to ashes.”

Douluo 3: Seraph's Light returns to Douluo

[This Novel can be seen as a sequel to my other Novel Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God. Please do check it out if you like that one.] The era known as the Legend of the Dragon King was an age of magnificent contradiction—the zenith of Soul Master prowess and the nadir of mortal peace. Here, the magnificent Battle Armor elevated cultivators to god-like status. Yet, the grand, chilling calculations of a distant God King cost the lives of countless innocents, weaving a tapestry of glory and despair. When the obituary of the brave—a hero fallen into the abyss—was transmitted back to the continent, all hope seemed extinguished. Yet, within the crumbling walls of a once-proud Body Sect, destiny made its move. A silent spark of blue-star energy, a traveler from another realm, awakened. He was the inheritor of gifts left by predecessors who traversed parallel universes, and the final, precious favor of a retiring Lord of the Plane. Now, two souls, two destinies, coexist within a single vessel. The Body spirit is fused with the essence of a divine being—the Holy Body itself becoming the foundation of a magnificent Martial Soul. His very energy is sublimated into a Shining Angel, an entity capable of tapping the infinite, awe-inspiring potential of the human form. He possesses Martial Spirits of the same celestial origin, their Spirit Rings shared, their power multiplied. An inner sage guides an outer king, a connection closer than twins, yet distinct. Bound by a singular purpose, they are destined not just to restore, but to reforge the once-in-a-millennium luster of the Douluo Star, and usher in an era where the true light of the Seraph reigns supreme. (This is a genius-style refreshing story, and it will not deliberately target Tang Wulin. If you don’t like it, please don’t read it)
