Bureau of Paranormal Investigation

Shen La, a special forces operative born with the Heavenly Eye, has been able to see ghosts since childhood. During a mission involving a supernatural incident, his abilities were exposed—leading to his recruitment by a hidden Chinese government agency: the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. This mysterious organization is tasked with investigating and handling all manner of supernatural phenomena. Within the Bureau, Shen La encounters a group of uniquely gifted and eccentric colleagues, including a mysterious white-haired man known only as Invincible, and Sun Fatty, a genius with an exceptionally high IQ. Through a series of increasingly perilous encounters—including the resurrection of the Ancestor Shaman, the haunting Ghost Opera of Qinghe, and a ghost ship that has wandered for centuries—Shen La begins to grow both in power and insight. Yet as the cases deepen, a shadowy force behind the scenes begins to reveal itself. Its ultimate goal appears to be a secret manual said to grant immortality...

Villain’s Legacy: Righteous by Force, Feared by Choice

Rudra Varma never wanted fame, fortune, or power. He just wanted a quiet life teaching schoolkids and living far away from the chaos of his family name. But fate had other plans. His father—Raavan Varma—was the most feared villain in modern history. A criminal genius, billionaire warlord, and manipulator of nations. When Raavan died mysteriously in prison, the world breathed a sigh of relief. Except Rudra inherited more than just his father’s name. One night, Rudra is nearly assassinated—only to wake up with a sarcastic voice in his head and a chilling message: [Villain Legacy System Activated] “You have inherited 17,000 karmic crimes. Redemption begins now.” Now bound to a strange system that forces him to correct his father’s sins, Rudra must do good... but in villainous ways. Bribe politicians to clean the city. Blackmail corrupt CEOs to fund schools. Flirt with spies to stop illegal weapons deals. He has to think like a villain to become the hero the world doesn’t know it needs. Each “evil” action done for a righteous cause earns him Legacy Points, unlocking secrets about his father, his mysterious bloodline, and the world’s hidden power games. But not everyone wants him redeemed. Enemies of the old Varma empire are returning. Assassins, spies, rival corporations—and even women connected to his father's sins—are drawn to him. And all Rudra wants… is peace. In a world where only fear protects the weak, he must become the villain people fear— to do the good no one else dares.
