But what slips through isn't necessarily light. …

One elite school. One dead student. Two boys who can’t stand each other… and can’t stay away. Welcome to Blackwell Academy. The most prestigious high school in the country, where the rich are powerful, the powerful are dangerous, and everyone is playing a role in the chain. At the top of the chain? The Glass Circle……six untouchable students born into legacy, wealth, and corruption. They are feared, worshipped and corrupt to the core. One night, one of them, ends up dead. What happens when Ash Rivera….a quiet, scholarship student from the slums of the city…witnesses the one thing he was never meant to see? He wasn’t supposed to be at that party. He wasn’t meant to see the body fall from the rooftop. He wasn’t meant to survive it. He definitely wasn’t supposed to catch Dominic Vale’s attention. But one wrong night changes everything. Now Ash is the only witness to a murder, and someone knows he saw too much. They want him silent. “Keep your mouth shut, Rivera. Or you’ll be next. You don’t belong here…and you’ll die trying to." But the real danger isn’t the killer. It’s Dominic Vale…..Blackwell’s golden boy and Ash’s sworn enemy. Because Dominic has his own secrets and obsessions. And why does he keep saying: “Ash Rivera is mine. No one touches him… no one… except me.” As Ash digs deeper into the truth behind the Glass Circle, one thing becomes clear: Love is dangerous. And the truth… might get you killed. Content Warning: This novel contains mature themes, including strong language, dark romance, psychological tension, steamy scenes, and emotional triggers.

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] **** “Nathan…” Maddison murmured sweetly, her voice soft, almost playful. “Ashley’s been clinging to you over that mating ceremony lately… doesn’t it exhaust you?” “Baby…” Nathan’s voice dropped, low and rough, laced with disdain. “Let’s not waste our time talking about someone so irrelevant while we’re enjoying ourselves.” A cold smirk tugged at his lips. “You know those promises I made to her meant nothing.” His tone turned darker, almost amused. “I said them just to watch her hope… just so I could rip it away from her tomorrow.” His gaze hardened. “I want her to stand there and watch it happen—watch with her own eyes who would become my Luna.” His hand slid around Maddison’s waist, pulling her firmly against him, possessive and certain. “It was always you. Only you.” A flicker of anger crossed his face, sharp and unforgiving. “I’ll make her regret the day she was born. If that disgusting woman she calls a mother hadn’t switched you at the hospital, none of this would’ve happened. You—the true Alpha’s daughter—wouldn’t have wasted eighteen years suffering while that impostor lived in your place.” He let out a quiet scoff, thick with contempt. “If things had been right from the start, you would’ve grown up beside me… as my future bride.” Nathan brushed Maddison’s hair aside, his voice dropping into something darker, colder. “All we’re doing now… is correcting a mistake.” His lips curved faintly. “She can drown in her misery while the entire pack turns its back on her…” His grip on Maddison tightened slightly. “…and you take the place that’s always been yours.” *** After Ashley was exposed as the fake Alpha’s daughter, her world collapsed overnight. The people who once adored her turned cold, one by one—including Nathan, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé. He didn’t just abandon her; he played along, pretending to go through with the mating ceremony, only to use it as a stage to humiliate her and publicly claim Maddison—the true Alpha’s daughter—as his mate. It was his way of proving that without her title, Ashley was nothing. They expected her to stay. To bow her head, accept the blame, and atone for a “sin” that was never hers. But they forgot how far they had pushed her. After enduring Maddison’s cruelty and torture, Ashley chose to run. She left everything behind and, in time, found someone else—someone far removed from the life that had broken her. By the time Nathan realized the truth of his own feelings, that it had always been Ashley, it was already too late. She had entered a contract marriage with the Monster Duke, and Nathan even took part in sending her to someone else's bed. Nathan thought she would regret it. Thought she would come back. But he was wrong, and regret drowned him. Now, he wanted her back and would do anything to make it happen, but would Ashley's husband allow it?

In a world ravaged by a mysterious disaster that left humanity on the brink of extinction, growing up the spoiled son of a wealthy tycoon isn't all it's cracked up to be. Technology doesn't work anymore, the value of money is unreliable, and entertainment is limited. But it could have been worse, a lot worse. He could have been trapped in a never-ending timeloop, where each death takes him back to the start, and damn is it easy to die. He could have been born into a postapocalyptic, apocalyptic world filled to the brim with dangers and threats, where one wrong step means death. Better yet, why not both? *** Dig is the son of a man who survived and thrived after and during the Apocalypse. However, for reasons mostly unknown, he has barely set foot outside the relatively safe city without protection. That finally changes on his fifteenth birthday in, perhaps, the worst way possible. He gets thrown into dangerous situation after dangerous situation. The only thing keeping him alive sends him back in time whenever he dies. So far, it could have been worse, but Dig is slowly but surely going to realize just how fragile life during the apocalypse really is and what price needs to be paid to keep living, what sacrifices need to be made.

Valentine’s world turns upside down when she is kidnapped and taken to a secluded house deep within a forest. With no way to escape, she is forced to stay under the watch of Artavius—a cold, sharp, and unpredictable boy connected to the very people who took her. Bound together by circumstances they never chose, their relationship begins with tension and resistance. But as days pass, something shifts. Beneath Artavius’s harsh exterior lies a past filled with loneliness, secrets, and a life that was never truly his own. As Valentine slowly gets closer to him, forgotten memories from her childhood begin to surface—about a best friend who was believed to be dead. A detail that never made sense.

"The age of humanity is dead. The nuclear winter has begun, and the Pureblood Lords, wearing the sky like a cloak, have ascended to their thrones from the depths of the night." The world is no longer as you know it. For humanity gasping under radioactive winds, the biotopia zones called Vivaricus are not sanctuaries; they are the grandest slaughterhouses of the vampire aristocracy. Here, tomorrows do not exist, and power is measured solely by the number of "Human Pets" one owns. THE THREE LAWS OF VIVARICUS ASSET-The moment you are chosen, you cease to be human. You are an "Exquisite Asset"—cleaned, powdered, and "tamed" to serve the every whim of your master. You are a collector's item in a cage of silk and steel. SYSTEM-Your will is not your own. Before your first breath, biometric lenses were embedded in your eyes. System protocols reprogram your pain threshold, sensory sensitivity, and even your allergies according to your master’s desires. SUBMISSION- Whether a shelter rat or a fallen pop star, the system does not care. Within the obsidian walls of Vivaricus, only one truth echoes. "Submit to your master, or become a pile of protein in the kitchens." At the apex sit the Pureblood Lords—massive, two-meter-tall deities with faces of haunting perfection. To them, humans are fresh venison served in lily pools, playthings to be heard moaning in pain, and "fish in an aquarium" to be watched and fed for sport. Even rebels like Dorian find their very nerves hacked by the system. When the code takes over, hatred blurs into artificial love, and vengeance into absolute obedience. Vivaricus is where you carry your own prison in your heart. In this dark dystopia, blood does not just grant life; it signs the contract of the most brutal slavery.

Johann’s life suddenly changed because of something so trivial and unexpected. It was just a console and a video game.

In a world ruled by godlike Absolutes and ravenous mana beasts, humanity’s only shield is The Interface—a cold, glowing system that turns people into living weapons. Ha-Jin wakes up in the Junkyard, a lawless wasteland where the weak are scrapped for parts. Betrayed, broken, and branded a glitch by the very power meant to save him, he spits on The Interface and swears a bloody oath: he’ll tear it out of every soul who worships it, climb the food chain with his bare hands, and shatter the system that decides who lives and who gets erased.

They wander, trying to rebuild themselves amid a chaos where myths inexplicably rise again. At the heart of the ruins, an enigmatic being moves forward, proclaiming the end as an inescapable certainty. Between corrupted science, madness, trauma, and a dark mirror held up to humanity, NoName: Fate's Answer promises a story that will not leave us untouched

All chapters of Holy Dictator—whether published, currently being published, or yet to be released—are entirely works of fiction. Any resemblance to real events, individuals, organizations, or locations is purely coincidental. This novel contains extreme psychological dilemmas, brutality, and disturbing philosophical themes. These elements are presented purely for narrative purposes and do not reflect or promote real-world actions or beliefs. Reader discretion is strongly advised. . . . . . . . Teer Jwala feels only two emotions: the sharp spark of curiosity and the heavy boredom that settles whenever the world becomes predictable. Guided by circumstance rather than intention, fate keeps granting him abilities and situations that steadily draw his mind toward true evil, the absolute absence of good. His worldview shifts as his curiosity evolves, shaping him into a novelty-driven nihilist whose philosophy blends fatalism, antinatalism, and a cold utilitarian logic stripped of empathy. With the overwhelming authority granted by his power, Holy Dictator, Teer ultimately fixes his gaze on a single conclusion that satisfies his philosophy and his relentless need for novelty: the pursuit of apocalyptic extinction of humanity as the final expression of true evil.

By a twist of fate, Narumi Tōru obtains a Romance Simulation System. As long as he earnestly plays various roles within the simulations and successfully clears NPC routes, he can earn rewards and overturn his life as a nobody. But the premise of the game is simple and cruel: he is guaranteed to meet death at the ending.

From that moment on, the two who once shared fleeting days—gathering the morning flowers and recalling them at dusk—find their timelines crossing in opposite directions… Yet after pulling himself out of the game’s fatal endings, he can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right… Lover, big brother, childhood friend—weren’t those just settings inside a simulation game? So why are you all taking it seriously?
