Byline & Lies

ishq_writer
Vedika Roy always believed that truth was enough. That if you chased it hard enough, it would protect you. She was wrong. One mistake destroyed her career, her credibility, and the identity she built as a crime journalist. Broken but burning with unfinished anger, she returns to Jaipur hoping to escape failure. Instead, she walks into a silence far more terrifying. Her best friend disappears after joining Zyvora Systems, one of India's most powerful IT companies. No calls. No messages. No employee records. Just a company that calmly says, "She never worked here." Vedika knows what that means. To uncover the truth, Vedika becomes someone else. Under the fake identity of Prisha Mehra, she enters Zyvora Systems, fully aware that one wrong move could erase her too. Inside the glass walls of power and professionalism, she realizes this isn't just a company. It's a system built to hide people, bury evidence, and silence questions. Every file feels dangerous. Every corridor feels watched. And then there is Suryansh Oberoi. A man who speaks less and watches more. Who carries authority in his posture and secrets in his eyes. As her boss, he stands dangerously close to the truth she is hunting, yet feels like a wall built to protect it. Nothing about him feels simple. Nothing about him feels safe. Their tension is sharp. Their attraction forbidden. Their closeness dangerous. Because in a world where lies are signed in contracts and truth is treated like a crime, love becomes a liability. And some stories are written only to be buried. Tropes: ~ Undercover Identity ~ Boss × Employee ~ Slow Burn Romance ~ Enemies to Lovers ~ Workplace Suspense ~ Mystery / Thriller ~ Strong Female Lead ~ Secrets & Lies ~ Forbidden Attraction

Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince

On a fateful night, William—an ordinary man from Earth—finished a ruined route in his favorite game, Sinners Academy: Love at the End of the World. The next moment, he was eaten alive by the game’s final boss herself, dragged screaming into her world, the world he had ruined. And when his eyes opened again, he was no longer William. He was reborn as Louis Drakeheart, the third-rate villain of that doomed game—grandson of the Dragon King, son of Earth's unparalleled scientist-Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, yet still the failure who never awakened his draconic blood. He was known as the Mad Prince, the abandoned heir. The laughingstock destined to die forgotten in the Dimensional Labyrinth. But fate had finally bled him a cruel gift. Death Loop. Every agonizing death sent him back in time with his memories intact and sanity fragmenting piece by piece. One death at a time, he clawed through impossible regressions, devouring knowledge, forging forbidden strength and shattering limits once thought impossible to overcome. No longer would nobles trample him. No longer would horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary devour his kingdom. No longer would his mother's eternal slumber remain unbroken. Through rivers of his own blood and the crumbling edges of his mind, Louis Drakeheart shall rise again, and again, and again... Ruthless, unhinged, unstoppable. The world that spat on him will kneel... or burn. This is the chronicle of the Spiral of Madness: the ascent of the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And of her—the sole shadow who walks every loop beside him, the only soul who remembers every sacrifice.

Monster Hunter: The Thunderous Trail of Coral Highlands

Death is not a "Game Over." It’s the end. When elite special forces soldier Leon opens his eyes, he isn't in a hospital or a debriefing room he is in the primordial heart of the Ancient Forest, staring down the jaws of a giant reptilian predator. He has transmigrated into the brutal, awe-inspiring universe of Monster Hunter. But this is no video game. There are no respawns. Here, a dragon's roar shatters eardrums, toxic miasma melts flesh, and a single mistake means becoming wyvern food. Armed with only primitive weapons, his hardened military instincts, and a mysterious System that grants him stat points and a "Lone Wolf" trait for solo hunting, Leon must carve out his survival in blood and bone. Alongside his loyal, trash-talking Palico companion, Dumpling, and forged through deadly encounters alongside fierce local hunters like Flora, he rises from hunting lowly beasts to dancing on the razor's edge against apex predators. But this world is descending into unprecedented chaos. The arrival of the colossal Zorah Magdaros and the "Eater of Elders," Nergigante, is just the beginning. The ecosystem is fracturing. A strange, unnatural madness is beginning to infect the New World, driving legendary Elder Dragons into apocalyptic frenzies. To survive this escalating threat and find a way back to Earth, Leon must uncover the dark secrets behind a forgotten prophecy: "When the Crimson Star burns through the night, humanity will reclaim its homeland." To stop surviving and start conquering, Leon will stand alongside the legendary Fifth Fleet, clash with the fiercest monsters in existence, and ultimately challenge the dark legends of the Old Continent. In a world where humanity is at the bottom of the food chain, there is only one rule: Hunt, or be hunted.
