THE FIRST RAIN (BL)

Leansei learned early that life takes more than it gives. He worked himself to the bone to pay for tuition and keep his family afloat, never with time to enjoy his youth, and never with hope that he ever would. Then, on a night when it rained for the first time in years, Lemous City offered him a chance or face a miserable fate. Lemous is a city caught between the semi-rural and the urban, built on hierarchy and legacy, where those with status live above and the rest are left to survive below. That night, Leansei was given a one-night job. High class. High paying. The kind of work he was never meant to enter. It should have been the start of something better. It was but not for him. Instead, it was the end of him. When he wakes, he is no longer Leansei. He is Kean—in a different face, a different body, and a different life entirely. And with Kean’s life comes danger he does not understand. he meet xerchin for the second time around. Cold, arrogant, and infuriating. The same guy he met once before on a cruise ship, and thought he would never see again. Leansei did not know that Kean’s life was as broken as his own. He did not know how much danger came with the name. He is hunted, hated, and caught in a web of power, lies, and memory that is not his own. To survive, he must navigate a world of lies, power, and memory that was never his. To live, he must decide if a borrowed life is worth the price of being loved. To be free, he must choose his own path, or surrender to what lies beneath him. In a world built on control and sacrifice, love is the most dangerous choice of all. Will he be willing to leave the body behind, or remain in a life that was never his to begin with? _____________ This book is open from other platform as well

NYXION:BLACK STAR

Long before Ilyan Corven was born, humanity nearly destroyed itself in the Destiny War. At its center were three legendary machines known as Seraphs, Frames built from a mysterious material no one has ever been able to reproduce. Their pilots changed the course of the war, but the Seraphs ultimately consumed them, and all three vanished before the conflict ended. What remained was a wounded Earth, shattered colonies, and a generation terrified of what humanity had become. In the aftermath, new treaties banned nuclear weapons, further Seraph development, human weapon experimentation, and eventually the construction of new combat Frames. Earth rebuilt beneath the newly formed Solar Federation, whose leaders believed humanity could survive only by remaining united. But as decades passed and entire generations were born in space, that unity began to feel more like ownership. Colonies became nations. Earth recovered. The Federation began calling for humanity to return home, while spaceborn societies increasingly answered that space was already their home. That divide became the Horizon War. The Ardent Coalition emerged to defend the sovereignty of the spaceborn nations, while the Federation fought to keep humanity from fracturing again. Old treaties collapsed, combat Frames returned to the battlefield, and another generation inherited a war built from memories and grievances older than they were. Fourteen-year-old Ilyan Corven grows up inside that world without believing he has much to do with it. He is far more interested in particle science than soldiers or Frames, and his talent earns him a place among five gifted students invited aboard the Federation’s newest experimental command carrier, Black Star. He is supposed to study its technology. Instead, Nexus steals the ship. Nexus is barely forty people—a scattered family of refugees, deserters, mechanics, medics, and survivors who intervene wherever the war has abandoned civilians. With Federation forces closing in and their only exceptional pilot badly wounded, Ilyan is forced into Radian , an unfinished prototype Frame built around an experimental particle-distribution system. He has never piloted a Frame before. Yet Radian moves as though it has been waiting for him. His first battle reveals a talent no fourteen-year-old should possess, and his first kill leaves him determined never to enter the cockpit again. But Black Star is damaged, its particle reserves are limited, the Federation wants its stolen weapon back, and Nexus is about to be dragged into a conflict between the independent cities of Veyra and Caldris that will make their name known across the Solar System. A war that began generations before Ilyan was born has finally reached him. And before it is over, he will have to decide whether he can remain only a boy who understands machines—or become the pilot everyone around him is beginning to believe he was meant to be.

Crimson Sacrifice (GL)

**STORY ANNOUNCEMENT — EARLY CHAPTER REVISIONS & CHAPTER ORDER FIX** Hey everyone! I wanted to give a quick update regarding the early part of the story. I’ll be going back and making several **revisions to the earlier chapters** to improve the story’s pacing, continuity, character development, and overall flow. I also noticed that a few chapters were **accidentally posted in the wrong order**, which may have caused certain scenes, conversations, or events to feel confusing or like they happened too early. Those chapters will be reorganized into their **correct chronological order**. These revisions may include: • Fixing incorrectly numbered or misplaced chapters • Reordering scenes so events happen in the proper sequence • Cleaning up continuity errors • Improving early character introductions and relationships • Adjusting dialogue and descriptions • Strengthening foreshadowing for later story arcs • Making sure important events properly connect to future chapters The **main story, characters, relationships, and overall direction will remain the same**. This is primarily a cleanup and restructuring of the earlier material so the story reads much more smoothly from beginning to end. If you notice some chapter numbers changing or older chapters being updated, **nothing has been deleted from the story intentionally**—I’m simply putting everything where it was originally supposed to be. Thank you to everyone who has been reading and following the story! ❤️ Once the revisions are finished, the early chapters should connect much more naturally with the current storyline. Twenty two year old Fumiko goes to sleep rage-scrolling a “generic straight romance” otome game and wakes up inside it with a holographic HUD floating in front of her face. Title:Crimson Heirs of Everflame Player Character:Lady Fiametta von Ardentis Role: Villainess / Final Calamity Status: Terminally Ill (Irreversible) Genre:FIRE The body in the mirror isn’t her own: it’s the outrageously beautiful noblewoman destined to be the game’s last boss and most hated villainess. In the original *Crimson Heirs of Everflame*, Fiametta’s only endings were imprisonment, execution, or a beautifully animated death. Now, the system insists her illness is incurable even as she feels disturbingly healthy and the so called “FIRE” genre quietly explains itself: heightened emotions, irreversible consequences, and “reality bleed-through.” Worse, all the flags are wrong. The four powerful heroines who were supposed to loathe Fiametta now have their affection maxed out: * Crown Princess Seraphine , who announces their political engagement and clings like a devoted fiancée who would burn the world before letting Fia vanish. * Knight-Captain Elira, the empire’s sword, assigned as Fiametta’s personal escort. * Archmage Lyriel , whose cold logic melts whenever Fia’s name is mentioned. * Saintess Mira, the empire’s holy light, who prays for Fia with frightening intensity. In the game, they were routes Fumiko chased as a player. In this world, they are women who love Fiametta too much to let her go and perhaps too much to let her be free. Caught between a body marked by a terminal countdown, four heroines whose love already burns at maximum, and a system that treats reality like a script it can overwrite, Fumiko has to think like the gamer she used to be: * Map the routes in a world that no longer follows its own code. * Discover what “FIRE” really demands from its players. * Hack a fate labeled irreversible before the genre turns her life and the women who love her into ash. In a universe where love is fuel and every choice can ignite a catastrophe, the villainess of *Crimson Heirs of Everflame* must decide: Is she trying to survive her own story… or willing to burn with them, if that’s the only ending left?

Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!
