Detective Jane Michaels arrives in Ridgeview to start fresh after a catastrophic case nearly ended her career. On her first day, she’s assigned a gruesome case involving a serial killer who dresses his victims as brides and leaves a single rose. As Jane dives deeper, she uncovers unsettling details about the victims and their lives. Amidst the investigation, she crosses paths with Nathaniel Carter, a kind and mysterious local writer who slowly chips away at her walls. But Ridgeview is a town of secrets, and the truth is never as it seems. When a victim escapes the killer’s clutches and gives a description, the case takes an unexpected turn. The town is rocked as the killer is unmasked—someone who was hiding in plain sight. In the final confrontation, Jane must use her wit and emotional resilience to bring the killer to justice. But even as the case is solved, a sinister shadow lingers, and Jane faces her own demons, left with an unsettling gift that raises more questions than answers.
When entire worlds are forcibly pulled into a vast and ruthless universe, every person is granted a territory and the chance to rise as a Lord. But their humanity is no longer guaranteed. Stripped of their former selves, they awaken as randomly chosen beings, some remain human, while others become beasts, monsters, or ancient races long thought to exist only in legend. With their fates left entirely to chance, each new Lord must adapt to their new form, whether as a lowly goblin, a towering giant, or a being of divine blood, and discover their Lord Talent, a unique power that will shape their rule. Some are gifted with the ability to command armies, others to bend the elements or raise the dead. But in this brutal world, strength is the only law. The weak are crushed, and only those who build, expand, and conquer will survive. To carve out their place, the Lords must fortify their lands, rally their forces, and wield powers beyond imagination, all while navigating a world where gods, horrors, and empires wage an endless war for supremacy.
Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.” After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

After the fight, Jax is confronted by Vincent Romano, a powerful crime boss who controls the underground circuit from the shadows.

To pay it off, Jax is forced into a high-stakes fight against Leon Vargas—a monstrous, undefeated fighter with a reputation for breaking men. But this isn’t just about fighting. Romano is playing a deeper game, and Jax can feel it. There’s something he’s not being told, something more dangerous than losing a match. With no way out, Jax turns to his only friend, Mason—the one person who’s been in his corner through every fight, every mistake, every fall. Mason sees the trap Jax is walking into and urges him to run. But Jax knows running won’t save him. Romano’s reach is too long, and if Jax disappears, Mason becomes the next target. As the fight approaches, Jax must decide: does he play Romano’s game and hope he can survive? Or does he fight not just for his freedom, but for something he’s never had before—a future? With every punch, every choice, and every second inside that ring, Jax isn’t just fighting an opponent. He’s fighting for his life.

(!The credit for the Book Cover goes to the creator, it isn't mine!) It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.
