Enough! Basta! I absolutely refuse to keep saving worlds for nothing but a “thank you”! If it’s really that urgent, then let’s draw up a proper contract—and sign it in blood. Someone’s blood! What, the world has perished, and now I must set off into the past, jumping from one native body to another? And if I don’t make it in time, I’ll perish together with Koschei the Deathless? With no guarantees at all?! Why did I ever get myself into this?!

Usually heroes rescue girls. But me? I have to rescue my beloved—because in searching for me, he’s managed to unravel reality itself, and now an entire world is vanishing. On the road I’ll face celestial lions, Fu Dogs, Eastern gods, Kirin, tengu, and even strange creatures unlisted in the Red Book. Yet there will also be new encounters and unexpected companions—though who is friend and who is foe? This book belongs to the “The End of the World Is Cancelled” cycle, but it takes place in a completely different world with new characters, except for Netti and Koschei the Deathless, who continue searching for each other. Still, it’s best to begin with Book One.

Wanted a badass man, someone like Koschei the Deathless? Well, here you go. Now you must make him fall in love with you—and along the way, save the magical world where ambition has thrown you both. And if, Vika, you stumble into trouble at every step, that’s just small stuff, probably. Yet those “small stuff” whirl into a storm of adventures, forcing you to walk through fire, water, and brass pipes. And still remain human.

Never offend the otherworldly powers — their revenge is merciless. What began in merriment soon descended into dread: the familiar world collapsed like a fragile house of cards, and from the ruins crawled something alien, hostile, and inexorable. Survival itself becomes a cruel choice — to cling to life alone, or to help friends weather the storm. And in that hour, when shadows devour the light, the veil is torn away, and the true nature of a person is revealed.

Surrounded by predators. Alone. Survival is the only goal. Who can I trust? Who deserves my fate? And love? Who even mentioned love? To hell with love — when I’m tangled in a web of lies and chasing the one thing that matters: freedom. My instincts scream: Run, Little Sparrow, run! And yet…

He is Artem. She is Svitlana. But in the underground world they stumble into, their names take on a very different meaning. “Ar Temny” means the Dark Lord. “Svitla Lana” means a Bright One — a being of the Sky. And the Bright Ones are the sworn enemies of the Dark. Thus begins their absurd journey through Hell — a place where every word can be a sentence, and a name spoken by chance can become destiny. He’s a hero by accident. She’s a prisoner by misunderstanding. Together, they’re a hopeless duo who can’t seem to understand each other… and yet, perhaps, they’re falling in love. A humorous fantasy about how men and women see the world differently — and about love that hides behind the most ridiculous circumstances.

Meeting a warlock in our time—a Charakternyk, a legendary shape-shifting Cossack warrior-sorcerer? Easy. Falling in love with him? Even easier. But carrying that love across centuries, preserving it, and reshaping reality itself? That’s where things get complicated. The past entwines with the present. Ancient forces rise from the depths of time, seeking to claim the world—and a young witch who doesn’t yet know she’s the one they’re after. Rooted in Ukrainian folklore, this story blends romance, mysticism, and time-bending adventure—where love must outlast history itself.

Be careful what you wish for—because it just might come true! One wrong word at the wrong time… and everything spirals. Yesterday’s truth twists into today’s lie, intrigue multiplies, and other people’s problems suddenly become your own. At this point, I might as well paint it across my forehead in red: “Please don’t grant my wish! I didn’t mean it like that!” A fast-paced, witty story about tangled desires, unintended consequences, and the chaos that follows when wishes take on a life of their own.

Dark stormy skies. The raging waters of the Dnipro. A lightning strike. An ambulance. A defibrillator. While life hangs by a thread, Melania’s soul slips into other realms—where past and future intertwine, legends breathe beside reality, and those once lost may be found again. Through all the shifting worlds, a fragile spark of true feeling begins to grow—one that defies death itself. Only those whose hearts burn with love can cross time and space to find each other. This novel draws on ancient, lesser-known Ukrainian legends and mystical New Year rituals—especially Melankuvannya, a folkloric celebration blending caroling, masquerade, and magical rites of renewal. Let the journey begin.

I am the Princess of Polissia. I’m ready to fulfill my duty and marry the Prince of Pelasgia for political reasons. But twelve princes—twelve grooms—have vanished, taken by a dark sorcerer who desires me and my lands. Only one remains: the thirteenth prince. And I never imagined I’d fall in love with him… just by seeing him through a magical mirror. I’m just Denis. I had no idea I was a prince in some parallel world. A fiancée? A kidnapped princess? And you want me to rescue her? Why me? I don’t believe in love, and all girls are the same. If that sorcerer wiped out my brothers so easily, I’d rather not meet him at all. I’ll explore this world a bit—and then go home. But fate has its own plans…

Savage dog-headed beasts have invaded the city of Dnipro. But the Night of the Gods is ending, and the ancient power of Perun begins to stir. Perun — the Slavic god of thunder and war, a fierce counterpart to Zeus or Thor — chooses Illia as his vessel. Illia must embrace this divine force and face the inhuman threat head-on. Yet amid the chaos, he discovers something unexpected: love. Set against real Ukrainian landscapes, this myth-infused fantasy blends epic battles, ancient legends, and a hero’s journey shaped by destiny. All character names are fictional, and the myths — drawn from diverse, sometimes contradictory sources — are carefully woven into the story’s fabric to create a rich and immersive experience.

Dark-haired or redhead? Neither! She’s doing everything she can to leave the half-world where fairy tales and ancient legends still breathe—and return home. But fate has other plans. Inspired by Ukrainian mythology, folk tales, and forgotten legends, this magical story celebrates the power of love and the final triumph of light over darkness. Enjoy the journey!

Everyone loves cats. Well, everyone except my boss—who still hired my three furballs to help attract customers to his failing café. And me? I’m basically nobody. Just the official cat wrangler. We’re supposed to save the business, but in reality, my cats are more likely to wreck the place and drive the boss completely mad. Not that it’s hard—he’s arrogant, impossible… and annoyingly attractive.

I tried on my friend’s wedding dress—and was kidnapped by a demon. What does he want? Just a little help? And then he’ll let me go? But why am I being pulled deeper and deeper into this whirlwind of events? Why is the demon world slowly dying? What secrets lie within Zone No. 6—the Dead Zone? And how do I get back home?

I have to become a villainess, a blackmailer, and an absolute witch. And all for a noble cause! Higher powers offer me a chance to inhabit the body of Cinderella’s wicked stepsister—and torment the poor girl just enough to make her marry the prince out of pure spite. Sounds simple. But nothing ever is…

I’m just a humble 3D character artist, crafting heroes and monsters for video games. One day I was working on a witcher design—and the next, I woke up in a parallel world, trapped in the body of a real witcher. And not even a lucky one. Now we share one body, two minds, and I’m forced to sculpt myself anew—stronger, sharper, cooler. This world is crawling with undead and unholy beasts. Familiar animals turn out to be monsters, and ancient horrors from forgotten fairy tales are waking up. The Great Eclipse is coming, when dark forces rise… and someone—or something—has crossed over from the Other Side. I just wanted to survive. But the deeper I go, the more the whirlpool of fate pulls me in. What kind of game are the gods playing?

Alka was dying. But fate—or something far stranger—gave her a chance to survive in another world. A world where the Chernobyl catastrophe shook more than just our reality. Where parallel worlds intertwine, and the Zone is more than a scar—it’s a force. The very existence of these worlds may depend on a single person. But to do so, she must face the merciless Zone, turn weakness into strength, and trust the path destiny lays before her. Because sometimes, the end is just the beginning.

How do you live after learning your parents aren’t your own—and you’re not even human, but… what? A child of Light and Darkness. Of an angel and a demoness. A Shadowlight. Alone in a strange world, surrounded by strangers at a magic academy for bastards, half-bloods, and other “misfits.” How do you survive when your unique gift pulls you into a war between higher beings from another realm? How do you tell good from evil when the lines blur? And most of all—who are you, truly? Light… or Darkness?
