When Freddie reads of hauntings at Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park in Ontario due to a mysterious lullaby, "Lucilla", he drags the gang on an unexpected canoe trip, where he's determined to prove that not only do ghosts exist but also that not every villain hides under a mask.

***

Freddie, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are leaving soon for college, which causes them to fear that their mystery-solving days are over. As the gang leader, Fred takes matters into his own hands and tracks down one last mystery for them to solve--the legend of the Ghost of Ontario in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park.

While canoeing on Lake Anima Nipissing to search for clues, the gang runs into an amnesic hermit who claims he's only ten winters old and has never heard of the Ghost of Ontario; yet, whenever he's around, strange things happen, such as unexpected storms and angry spirits. It looks like he may be the gang's biggest mystery yet, but is this mysterious hermit a masked villain or something more? And what is this "Lucilla" that everyone in the provincial park keeps discussing?

It's up to the gang, Scooby, and one brave young man to solve this mystery--for all of Ontario.

Tarinelve is a dark, character-driven fantasy set in a fractured peninsula dominated by three warring human kingdoms. The story follows Roderich, a boy of mysterious heritage, as he is torn from his humble origins and thrust into a world of politics, magic, and beasts.

I arrived in another world.

No system, no sword, no royal lineage. Just a little boy, abandoned in the mud in front of a ruined temple.

Seventeen years later, I'm still not a hero.But I'm alive, barely, and with a dream:To build a home for children like me. A place where orphans aren't forgotten. Where they eat warm meals, learn magic or farming, and perhaps not die before puberty.

After years of saving coins, begging from carpenters, and dodging slave traders, I finally opened my orphanage.

And then...

> DING!> "Celestial Orphanage System Activated!"> Mission: Turn every orphan into a hero, a legend, or someone their enemies will weep for in therapy.> Rewards: Power, skills, fame, and, occasionally, a divine coupon.

Apparently, every time one of my children learns to read, kills a demon rabbit, or stops licking enchanted rocks, I get a reward.

And it doesn't stop.

Healing spells? I've got them!

Martial arts techniques? Now I accidentally punch trees.

A celestial presence that makes kings sweat? Uh... I'm working on it.

I just wanted to be a caregiver.But the world is starting to whisper my name. Some call me the Martial Saint. Others, a menacing Demon above the Seven Heavens.

The kids?They call me "Boss Lin"---

She gave her heart to the wrong man—but fate had someone else waiting in the storm

Roxy’s world was a chaotic blend of broken promises, stifling control, and unanswered cries for help. At just sixteen, she bore scars not only on her skin but also on her heart—a quiet testimony to battles fought in the shadows. With light brown hair streaked with red wine highlights and green eyes that flickered between defiance and pain, she had a presence that demanded attention. Her wolf-cut hairstyle framed a face that had seen too much too soon. Behind her Y2K-inspired makeup and piercings—a left eyebrow ring and helix piercing—was a girl desperate for safety. A red pocket knife with a cross, always in her back pocket, served as both a coping mechanism and a weapon against the world that had hurt her.

Evan Thomas wasn’t supposed to be a savior. At twenty-five, he was still piecing himself back together after years of trauma. With light brown hair streaked with red wine highlights and piercing blue eyes that carried the weight of a lifetime, he was as much a paradox as the songs he wrote. His emo style and makeup masked the deep wounds of his past—abuse, self-harm, and a suicide attempt at nineteen that almost ended it all. Openly bisexual, Evan had spent his life battling judgment and pain, but his strength lay in his vulnerability. Music became his therapy, his outlet for all the emotions he couldn’t voice.

Cam, Evan’s 27-year-old childhood best friend and bandmate, was the one constant in his life. With brown eyes and light brown hair streaked with red wine highlights, his light emo style and signature eyeliner reflected his emotional depth. Cam, like Evan, had scars of his own—literal and emotional—from years of self-harm. Their bond was unshakable, forged through years of shared struggles and triumphs, as close as brothers but unromantic. Cam was Evan’s anchor, and together, they were determined to keep each other afloat.

The day Evan found Roxy at the adoption center wasn’t just coincidence—it was fate. As she sat there, hollow and guarded, her trauma was unmistakable. A worker had crossed the line, touching her inappropriately to take away her knife. Roxy froze, paralyzed by memories. Evan’s protective instincts roared to life. He recognized the signs because he had been there himself, assaulted at eighteen and left to navigate the aftermath alone. Pulling her out of that place was an act of defiance and a promise to protect her at all costs.

Cam kenarında kaçıncı geceydi bilmiyordum.

Sadece bakıyordum… belki o da bakar diye.

Sonra bir gece, o da gerçekten bana baktı.

Ve Dolunay tanıktı.

한국식 라이트노벨 스타일 번역:

가이드 1:

"게임 테스터가 추론 시뮬레이터와 연결되자, 그는 양계의 틈새 세계로 빨려 들어갔다! 선계의 영기와 영주 세계의 원소가 황혼 요새에서 충돌한다. 3배속으로 영수 진화를 추론하고, 양계 재료로 혼수 갑옷을 제작하라. 첫 전투인 달빛 호수에서 혼성 부대가 혈사문을 무너뜨린다! 정령 공주가 고대 비밀을 안고 투항하고, 잠든 홍룡 상류가 울부짖는다. 혈사 노조와 심연 영주의 연합이 문을 막아설 때... 육풍은 시뮬레이터를 어루만며 비웃는다: '양계의 법칙? 내 만령 정복의 디딤돌일 뿐. 이 승리? 이제 겨우 제3계의 틈을 열 정도다!'"

가이드 2:

"매일 1시간 3배속 추론으로 그는 양계 최강의 소환사가 되었다! 선계의 영수가 영주 세계의 원소 결정을 삼키자 마법을 쓰는 요단수가 되고, 영주의 중갑병이 선계의 호심부적을 두르자 혈사문 사수를 베어 넘기듯 무찌른다! 달빛 호수 전투에서 위용을 떨치고, 양계 무역단으로 부를 축적하며 황혼 요새는 점점 커져만 간다. 상류를 깨우고 혈사 노조의 음모를 무너뜨렸지만, 시공 균열에서 발견한 반쪽 비석... 이 만령 정복은 이제 절반도 못 왔다!"

가이드 3:

"추론 시뮬레이터가 작동하는 순간, 육풍의 운명은 더 이상 양계에 속하지 않았다! 선계 1일은 영주 세계 30일, 그는 이 시간차를 이용해 3배속으로 '혼령결'을 개발하고 영수와 대화하며 영기와 원소를 모두 먹는 혼성 군단을 만든다. 혈사문이 양계 통로를 노린다? 달빛 호수에서 막아내라! 정령 공주가 '양계가 멸망한다'고 경고하자 그는 오히려 황혼 요새를 양계의 중심으로 만든다. 심연 영주의 칼이 목에 닿았을 때, 그는 웃었다. 그 갑작스러운 신비한 기운... 바로 그가 온 책을 기다린 제3계의 초대장이 아니겠는가?"

Вот три варианта перевода в стиле "ранобэ" с сохранением динамики и игровой эстетики:

Вариант 1:

"Тестер игр + симулятор стратегий = билет в межмировой капкан! Эссенция бессмертных и магия элементов сталкиваются у Сумеречной Крепости — утраиваем скорость эволюции духовных зверей, ковам доспехи из материалов двух миров! Кровавый дебют у Лунного Озера обратил Школу Кровавого Зла в бегство. Эльфийская принцесса с древними секретами переходит на его сторону, пробужденный Сянлю шипит из глубин... Когда Патриарх Кровавого Зла и Повелитель Бездны блокируют врата, Лу Фэн усмехается: «Законы миров? Всего лишь ступеньки для моего марша духов! Эта победа — лишь ключ к ТРЕТЬЕЙ ТРЕЩИНЕ!»"

Вариант 2:

"1 час в день × 3-кратная скорость симуляции = самый дерзкий укротитель двух миров! Духовные звери пожирают элементальные ядра, обретая магические даньтяни; латники в защитных талисманах рубят культистов Кровавого Зла как капусту! От триумфа у Лунного Озера до межмировой торговой империи — Сумеречная Крепость растет... Пока пробужденный Сянлю не разрывает заговор Патриарха, но в финальной битве Лу Фэн находит обломок стелы, не принадлежащей ни одному из миров. Его «Марш духов» только НА ПОЛПУТИ!"

Вариант 3:

"Старт симулятора — и судьба Лу Фэна больше не принадлежит ни Небожителям, ни Лордам! Используя разницу во времени (1:30), он создает «Искусство укрощения душ» и гибридную армию, поглощающую оба вида энергии! Школа Кровавого Зла хочет захватить портал? Сначала пройдите Лунное Озеро! Эльфийская принцесса пророчит гибель? Он строит Сумеречную Крепость — мост между мирами! Когда клинок Повелителя Бездны касается его шеи, он смеется: «Этот странный аромат... Разве не пропуск в ТРЕТИЙ МИР, которого я ждал?»"

“Chrissy has always felt like she didn’t belong, but she never expected the reason to be hidden beneath the waves. Drawn to a haunted lighthouse and a mysterious underwater cave that calls to her, she begins unraveling secrets about her past—secrets that could change everything. As she searches for the magic she knows exists, she discovers something even more impossible: she is the daughter of a mermaid. But with dark forces determined to keep the truth buried, Chrissy must uncover her destiny before the tide pulls her under for good.”
