ChaosWalkerI:A demon partial to Martinis

xin_wang_1863
Lansnat is a city cloaked in perpetual rain and shadow, where the mundane routine of life is played out in the dim light of corner bars. But one evening, as twilight falls, a brutal double murder shatters the quiet. Veteran Detective Carl is assigned the case – two young lovers found dead in Nightdew Gardens, killed with impossible precision, their bodies left in a chilling pose. His investigation leads him into the humid confines of Le Petit Café, the last place the victims were seen alive. Inside, Carl finds an unlikely collection of patrons – a mysterious, elegant gentleman; a nervous, solitary office worker; a gruff construction laborer; and a wary bartender, all of whom were present on the night of the murder. As Carl questions the witnesses and gathers evidence, the case quickly spirals beyond a simple homicide. Impossible alibis, baffling infrastructure malfunctions, strangely killed animals, and unsettling coincidences begin to pile up, hinting at a truth far stranger and darker than Carl's years on the force have prepared him for. What begins as a grim noir investigation slowly unravels, revealing hints of a hidden conflict, ancient prophecies whispered in the shadows, and entities operating just beyond human sight. As Carl gets closer to the truth, he finds himself warned off by shadowy figures and realizes he's become a pawn in a game far larger—and far deadlier—than he could have imagined. In Lansnat, some doors should never be opened, and discovering the truth might cost Carl more than just his life.

From Villain to Virtual Sweetheart: The Fake Heir’s Grand Scheme(BL)

Oops! The foolish real young master had run away!!! The title of the book… Micah had everything anyone could possibly envy, a gentle mother, a supportive father, and two doting older sisters. His family business dominated the capital with its high-technology products, and he was raised with a silver spoon from birth. Life was perfect. Until one day everything crumbled when a young man appeared, claiming to be the real young master. The classic case of swapped at birth… Panicked and heartbroken, Micah, the fake heir, fought desperately to hold onto his family and fortune. From Bad-mouthing and spreading rumours to initiating misplaced hatred toward the real young master, he plotted financial pitfalls and implicated his family business in progress. Not to mention his backstabbing and selling the classified information to a rival company. “What the actual f..?” Micah stared at the book, seething with anger. He was practically a villain out of a melodrama. He would never be like that! Which vengeful ghost had written this book?! “Where is my knife?!” He needed to show this so-called author the true meaning of vengeance! Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs! How could they torment the cheerful sunny Shou and twist him into an obedient meek little puppet just to satisfy their sick desires?! “I, Micah Ramsy, swear to protect my new brother from those psychos and hungry wolves!” Thus begins the journey of the fake heir, hell-bent on keeping those scums away from his sweet brother.
