deception

This will be my second fan fiction trilogy piece of the historical fiction drama 'My Country: The New Age' X 'Empresses In The Palace' X 'The Matchmakers' X 'Josean Attourney'. I will be incorporating Yang Se Jong's, Woo Do Hwan's & Cho Yi Hyun's works as much as possible to keep up with the 'My Country The New Age' trio for as long as I possibly can in as many lifetimes I can carry it out for. Book 2/4.

Twelve men and women of various identities are invited to enter the New World. Here, they not only have to decide their lifestyle through proposal voting but also continually participate in life-and-death games to extend their visa time. Once the visa is expired, they would die immediately. Lin Sizhi is one of them, and the designer of these life-and-death games.

"A malicious incident has occurred at our city hospital, a patient has taken medical staff hostage, and is now in a standoff with the police..." Yang Xiao turned off the TV, and the next second, a call came through, "Son, release the doctor now. There are police all around; you can't escape!" As if to prove the woman's words, the police sirens outside grew louder one after another, and there was also movement in the hallway. "It's fake, all fake. This is the Nightmare World. Otherwise, why would your call still come through after I cut the phone line?" Yang Xiao glared at the fallen phone line, his face twisted ferociously.

"I've been dying for a long time now" It was a harsh truth which he carried behind every smile, hidden beneath every breath of his life, friendship, and a life that looked normal from every angle. But nothing stays hidden forever... In this world, Faith is not an option. It's survival. It's a cruel world where the unseen forces demand utter devotion, and those who don't comply are met with a brutal yet quiet death. He didn't believe in such things, until he was met with one. Until the people he trusted the most turned their backs towards him. Until the girl who brought light to his slowly fading world was taken away from him. And even Death refused to let him rest. Revived by something he can't understand, and can't escape from, he is met with a broken reality where nothing is as it once seemed. Memories blur, Truths twists and the thin line between salvation and manipulation begins to disappear. Because sometimes, What remains....isn't meant to survive. And the best thing he could ever wished for was for the last remnant to drop dead.

God is dead. And an empty THRONE, the seat of reality, now awaits it's new ruler. In the wake of His dead, the Whiteout came— a catastrophe that swept across the modern age, granting every human supernatural power, turning reality into a battlefield, and the world into a crucible to forge a new ruler. On that day, Jack lost everything. He watched his mother die— and he recognized the killer. The man who raised him. The man who trained him to become the same monster. Driven by grief, revenge, and the will to survive, Jack enters a world where every act of kindness comes at a brutal cost… and every sacrifice takes something that cannot be returned. But there is still someone worth protecting. Elise. The girl who sees the good in him— even as he begins to lose it himself. To save her… and everyone he loves, Jack becomes what he must: A liar. A weapon. The very thing he hates the most. Not for power— but for love. But the more he sacrifices, the less of himself remains. As reality begins to fracture and the truth behind the THRONE unfolds, Jack is forced to confront the cost of his choices: What if saving the people he loves… means becoming the monster he was trained to be? And when the THRONE is finally claimed— what will rule reality? Love? A necessary lie? Or something far more terrifying? *** Early chapter access link and discussions on our Discord: https://discord.gg/EeKHZCKa4v

Hallowed Lies – Synopsis Taya thought the orphanage was a place of refuge. She was wrong. From the first night, the walls whispered secrets, shadows moved when no one was looking, and a mysterious note warned her: You are next. Survival here isn’t about strength—it’s about obedience, observation, and knowing the invisible rules of a system that punishes mistakes mercilessly. Aria, a girl who has learned to navigate the dark halls and hidden dangers, becomes Taya’s guide. Under her watchful eye, Taya begins to uncover the patterns of the orphanage: punishments that appear out of nowhere, rules that exist only in silence, and eyes that always watch. Every step she takes is a test, every choice could cost her everything. But the danger isn’t just the system—it’s the secrets it protects. And as Taya delves deeper, she learns that survival is only the beginning. Somewhere beyond the shadows, a mysterious figure connected to Aria waits, and when he arrives, the truths she uncovers will challenge everything she thought she knew about trust, fear, and the cost of uncovering lies that were meant to remain hidden. Dark, suspenseful, and unforgiving, Hallowed Lies is a story of secrets, survival, and the dangerous paths one must walk when the line between safety and betrayal is razor-thin.

A thousand years of history. One infinite library. No way home. When a modern-day engineer wakes up in the damp, freezing solar of a 12th-century manor, he finds himself trapped in the body of Thomas, a minor noble with a failing reputation and a wife who despises him. He has no magic system, no leveling up, and no celestial guide. All he has is the smartphone in his pocket—invisible to everyone else, perpetually charged, and still connected to the internet of 2026. In a world where a simple infection is a death sentence and the Church’s word is law, Thomas must use the sum of human knowledge to survive. From implementing basic germ theory to discovering hidden silver veins and forging high-carbon steel, he begins a quiet revolution from the mud up.

They called him an angel. They are right. But angels aren't always kind. He was offered divine grace, shown a mother's love, and given a second chance. He weaponized the first, murdered the second, and is wasting the third. Some souls are not worth saving. And this is a chronicle of one.

War, war never changed. Everyone has a story, some left untold, some good some bad, some more terrible then others. This tho, is Yuki’s story. A story about a kid, teen, 18 years old, losing everything he ever known, a story left untold, a past he never told, following him, as the place he lives falls in ruins, and he has to survive, to hopefully help some if he can, or do his part.Once a normal student about to graduate, now a war survivor, refugee. A story for the broken, story for those left untold. A story in honor of just those that survived, but even those that never had the chance, to those who didn’t survive. Those whose story never told. For one reason or another. I am not the best writer, I am not always good with words, but after everything I’ve seen, things I read, things I’ve heard. While not one of war, i am one of those that feel. There are people out there who never spoke on what happened, those who couldn’t speak, and those who may have been forgotten by some. Nation, race, gender, religion, no matter what it is, this story is for the lost, the broken, and the brave. Follow me, as I tell Yuki’s story, meant to honor those who may have not been able to be honored to those that deserve and need it. Thank you, to both vets who fought, those who keep us alive, those who help us survive. Doesnt matter if you are of war or of a hero who saves those caught in fires or otherwise. This is to all of you. Every single one. Let me write you guys a story that you wil love and one you will be happy was shared. Thank you. Salute to you all. Just don’t expect me be one hundred percent accurate right of bat, instead except me to fail in some things, and correct me. I take criticism and advice, just don’t be a rude. And I can not say this enough, Thank you, to those lost, those broken, and those that are brave.
