    Summary

    Woori's breath caught, stuttering in its last remaining time. His head tilted slowly to his left, staring off into the distance where Subin had gone.

    This would be the last time. Admittedly, he wasn't sure whether that knowledge brought him relief or disappointment.

    He glanced at the "tattoo" on his wrist, the number flickering and switching back and forth between '01' and '00' as if sensing the life that's draining out of him.

    Woori has been living on borrowed time for so long.

    And at last, this is where it finally ends.

    ---

    On his seventh and final loop, Nam Woori's plan failed and backfired on him. He died...only to wake up again in a life that wasn't his. Trapped in a childhood he never lived, in a body that's his but a life that isn't, Woori has to survive poverty, neglect, and the horrifying realization that the person living his old life is none other than Shin Subin.

    The same person who had killed him over and over again.

    Summary

    “War does not determine who is right—only who is left” - Bertrand Russell.

    How do you summarise such a tale of love and loss? Of revenge and betrayal? Of enduring unimaginable pain and finding the strength to overcome it? I cannot, I do not think... All I can ask is that you open this story, read the first page and find out if you're ready to go on the adventure of a lifetime.

    Read on, Outlaw. Read on...

    Summary

    All my life I've been searching for something without knowing exactly what it was. I spent every night gazing at the sky in despair, searching for answers that never came. Everything seemed monotonous, empty, and meaningless, as if the part of me that knew how to be happy had been lost and I had to find it.

    Without knowing it, I was looking for you, Number Sixteen.

    And when you were finally in front of me, when you managed to make me feel whole... I had to let you go.

    Why couldn't you stay?

    Summary

    Toda mi vida estuve buscando algo sin saber exactamente qué era. Dediqué cada una de mis noches a mirar el cielo con desolación en busca de respuestas que jamás llegaron. Todo me parecía monótono, vacío y carente de sentido, como si la parte de mí que sabía ser feliz se hubiese perdido y yo tuviese que encontrarla.

    Sin saberlo, te buscaba a ti, Número Dieciséis.

    Y cuando finalmente estuviste frente a mí, cuando lograste hacerme sentir completa... tuve que dejarte ir.

    ¿Por qué no pudiste quedarte?

    Summary

    6:15 am. Cold tea, soggy toast, and a city that doesn't give second chances. For Miles G. Morales, the 'expectations' on the chalkboard at Visions Academy are a foreign language.

    The only ink that matters is the heavy indent on his Uncle Aaron's notes, a pull toward a destiny that’s rain, alleyways, and blood money. Between his mother's double shifts and a hollow chest that won't stop aching, Miles has to decide: follow the rules of a world that forgot him, or embrace the 'fundamentals' of the Prowler.

    Summary

    The first time Peter Parker learns what death means, he is seven years old.

    By the time he becomes Spider-Man, Peter is well versed in the idea of death. That did not help with the psychos transforming into lizards, or aliens coming down from the sky or his girlfriends dad being a super villain.

    OR

    Peter Parker is Spider-Man long before any of the Avengers are ever together

    Summary

    Twenty-five years ago, a dimensional rift opened in rural Japan, releasing over a million refugees from another world. The government answered with laws, paperwork, checkpoints, and a simple rule: “All humans are equal.” Elves, orcs, beastfolk, and everyone else are something different.

    Earthborn elf Kasiel is trying to pass for “normal” in human society: attend mandatory Culture School, work his konbini job, endure his family’s cultural naked skinship without getting hard, and keep his stigmatized relationship with his human girlfriend secret from everyone.

    Then a fortune-teller calls him “rift’s blood” and promises that wherever he walks, the walls between worlds will break.

    Now his nights are filled with erotic dreams that don’t feel like his own, and his days are hijacked by vivid flashes of other people’s memories that feel like violations.

    Summary

    A boy sat at the roadside of Yokohama, somehow, not spared from the commotion of a cold and unforgiving spring. It was clear to Atsushi Nakajima that he would die soon, and that not even the gratuity of others would help him to escape the hunger of his body.

    -Or-

    The AU where Dazai was too late to see Odasaku die, therefore, didn’t fulfill his dying wish; Atsushi is a part of a gang of street criminals, and somehow the ADA is caught up in it all.

    Summary

    Sabi nila, ang Maynila ay lungsod ng mga nangangarap—ngunit hindi lahat ay may kalayaang lumipad. Si Junia ay isang ibon na mababa ang lipad, piniling manatili sa hawla kapalit ng seguridad at pangarap na ipinagkakait sa kanya.

    Mula roon, pinapanood niya ang mga tulad ni Kailyn—malaya, magaan, at tila walang iniintinding bukas. Ngunit sa mundong kailangang kumapit para mabuhay, nagiging luho ang pag-ibig.
    Paano kung ang taong nagbibigay sa kanya ng dahilan para lumipad… ay siya ring maaaring maging dahilan ng kanyang pagbagsak?
