It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him...

"I don't open paths for satisfaction. I open them for movement." Sorine was sixteen when the tsunami took her mother. She realized her Shugiin in the debris, the absolute belief that a way through existed even when she couldn't see it. She has been opening paths ever since. For others. For the trapped, the lost, the ones who need to believe in reachability. She has never found what she is looking for. She has learned that this is survival—that the path must remain open, that the destination must remain unpossessed. Then she meets Vey, the one who leaves, and understands that some gates are made to remain closed. That the threshold is more powerful than the passage. That she has been preparing, without knowing it, to refuse the satisfaction that would end her searching. The question is whether preparation is destiny. Whether cultivation can be resisted by those who have been made for it. Whether two people who cannot hold each other can still choose to remain.

The Silver Prison: The Chronicles of Ephatha By Ngozi Patricia Okeke-Anyichie The World Before the Prison Long before the Chronicles fractured reality into layered worlds, there was a civilization hidden deep within the mountains of South Asia—a place where ancient magic flowed through the soil like rivers beneath the earth. This land, rich with history and sacred knowledge, guarded a mysterious relic known as the Cursed Bloom, a crystalline flower said to possess the power to reshape existence itself. The Bloom was not simply magic. It was memory, sacrifice, and creation woven into one living artifact. For generations, its power was kept hidden from the outside world by a secret order known as the Keepers—forty-eight guardians sworn to protect the balance between worlds. But balance never survives desperation. When shadowy beings known as Void Seekers discovered the Bloom’s existence, they descended upon the land like a plague of darkness. Entire villages were consumed. The sky turned to ash, and the mountains themselves trembled as the barrier between realities began to tear. At the center of this chaos stood Rehaan, a brilliant scholar and Keeper whose love for his family was stronger than his loyalty to the order. As the Void Seekers closed in and the world around him burned, Rehaan made a decision that would reshape reality forever. He stole the Cursed Bloom. Not to save the world. But to save his daughter. The Birth of the Silver Prison Using the stolen fragment of the Bloom, Rehaan tore open the boundaries of reality and created a hidden pocket dimension—a sanctuary where the Void Seekers could never reach them. He called it Oak Heaven. Inside this carefully crafted world, time flowed gently. The skies were always golden, the gardens forever blooming, and the winds carried the scent of jasmine. It was a paradise untouched by war or suffering. But paradise always demands a price. The immense magic required to sustain Oak Heaven could not exist without a power source. To maintain the barrier separating this world from the dying remains of the original one, the Bloom needed a living anchor. And the only being powerful enough to sustain it was the child whose life Rehaan had sworn to protect. Avianna. Without ever knowing it, Avianna became the beating heart of the Silver Prison. Her life force fed the barrier that kept the sanctuary alive. Every breath she took strengthened the walls that sealed her away from reality. For twenty years, Avianna grew up believing her father’s story—that the outside world had collapsed into chaos and that Oak Heaven was the last refuge of their people. She had never seen a storm. Never walked through a crowded marketplace. Never experienced the raw unpredictability of life beyond the garden walls. Everything she knew had been carefully designed. Beautiful. Perfect. And entirely false. The Cracks in Paradise As Avianna reaches her twentieth year, strange things begin to happen within Oak Heaven. The wind freezes in place without warning. Birds stop mid-flight. Time itself seems to pause for brief, unsettling moments. These disturbances are subtle at first, but Avianna senses something deeper beneath them—a vibration beneath the illusion, as though the world around her is slowly unraveling. Her father dismisses her concerns, insisting that the barrier is merely being strengthened against outside threats. But Avianna can feel the truth pressing against her chest like a second heartbeat. Something is calling to her. Something beyond the prison walls. That call becomes impossible to ignore when a stranger appears within the supposedly impenetrable sanctuary. His name is Kaelen. He is not dressed like the elegant scholars and advisors who populate Oak Heaven. His clothes are torn, his eyes are sharp with survival, and his presence carries the weight of a world far harsher than the one Avianna knows. Kaelen claims to be the only living Keeper, a guardian whose duty was meant to protect the balance.

A modern US soldier and his batallion die immediately when flying to a rapid mobilization order in Iraq. The Goddess Triamal saves the batallion and offers them a tantalizing offer: Live a second time with a chance for redemption, or die and return to Earth. Most take the offer, going to war against a world. The age old question: "can a modern army unit win against an entire world" is on display here. *Disclaimers* There is no harem in here. There is a single FMC, and that will never change. Yes, there will be romance, and no the MC is not a spineless wimp who doesn't know how to treat women. This is not a "guy gains a system, and speed blitzes everything" story, there are stakes, there will be death, and the pacing may slow at times. I may get a few things wrong from time to time about how a battalion moves. Feel free to tell me when/if that happens. This is not a story about "conquering another world because a portal showed up." No, this is "we are fighting an entire world for our second chance at life" Chapter updates: Monday through Thursday I will release between 2-4 chapters. Fridays through Sundays will be 1-2 chapters. (i work weekends)

In the world of cultivation, where cultivating means defying heaven, follow the story of a queen who was betrayed by her husband and killed, only to be reborn to her past with the memories of the future and a system which, if she wants to live, requires her to bind her soul with her soulmate. Drawn together by the resonance of the system rather than force, two wounded souls begin to influence one another. Through cultivation, battle, and shared pain, they grow closer too sometimes by choice, sometimes by consequence. As she quietly rewrites the future and prepares her revenge, the bond deepens, revealing truths neither of them can escape. The closer they become, the more the system responds, blurring the line between independence and unity. I will be uploading one chapter until I am able to see a contract, but if I end up not seeing one, I will just continue the chapters. I don’t really know. Also, the story will start very slowly because of the pacing and character introductions, to really understand the story and how everything will fit together for the arcs. So this first arc will be very slow in pacing so bear with me and let me cook. You will enjoy the first arc. Note: I will also give a brief introduction to my main characters after I have introduced them in the story.
