WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

Vael Dusk arrived in Kuala Lumpur with forty-three dollars, a duffel bag, and two years worth of running behind him. He wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking for enough money to disappear — somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, somewhere the dead couldn't find him. He'd left the Army with a discharge paper that said *cleared* and a head that said otherwise. Four men were buried because of a call he made. He'd been paying for it ever since in the only currency he had left — movement. Never stop. Never sit still. Never let the quiet catch up. The quiet caught up anyway. It always does. One night in The Pit — Kuala Lumpur's most brutal underground fight ring — changed everything. Vael won. Not cleanly. Not carefully. He won the way a man wins when he has nothing left to protect, which is the most dangerous way there is. Victor Shen was watching from the shadows. Victor Shen is always watching. What follows is a descent. Through the underground circuit of Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, back to KL — where fighters are assets, loyalty is a leash, and the only way out is through. Vael will rise through ranks built on blood and debt and silence. He will find Raza, who sees what he is and trains him anyway. He will find Danny, who looks up to him with the specific trust of someone too young to know better. He will find Mei Lin — Victor's own niece, dismantling the empire from inside it, the one person in this world who looks at Vael and sees past the veil to whatever lives underneath. He will lose them. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to break something in him that was already cracked. Enough to turn the hidden thing loose. This is not a story about a fighter who becomes a champion. It's a story about a man who carries a demon he can barely control, in a world that will do everything it can to make him stop trying. *Some men enter the circuit looking for money.* *Some enter looking for glory.* *Vael Dusk entered looking for nothing.* *That made him the most dangerous man in the room.*

In the forgotten mountain kingdom of Shailantara, peace has endured for generations; guarded by tradition, rituals, and stories long dismissed as myth. As Prince Chandra prepares for his coming-of-age blessing, a simple journey with friends begins to stir something far older than the kingdom itself. Beneath forgotten wars, forbidden books, and erased names lies a past the world chose to bury—the age of heroes, demons, and a Demon King betrayed by humanity. Reborn into a new era, the Shadow of that ancient being begins to awaken once more, its fate entwining with the children of Shailantara. As truths long sealed threaten to surface, the line between hero and villain blurs. And the question remains: Can fate be broken… or does it claim everything, every time? https://discord.gg/NKhCvTvH https://linktr.ee/gautam_ryusel

Seventeen-year-old Kael Rykaen was never supposed to be born. His power is sealed, his clan erased, and the world he walks into was shaped by two villains who never expected him to exist. As the last heir of the Rykaen — the Sealed Flame That Burns Eternal — Kael carries an inner second soul and eyes that will one day see every hidden truth. Guided by a simple wish to find his parents, he gathers rejected outcasts and slowly unveils the masked face of Vaelryn. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the greatest secret of all: the world itself was created by its most ancient enemy… and now that enemy wants to unmake it. In a story of becoming known, sealed emotions, ideological villains, and long-buried truths, one warm-hearted boy must answer the question no one else could: Was this flawed, painful, beautiful world worth creating?

What if, one day, the clock began to tick backward? Call it a power, or a curse—but when you gain the ability to see beyond the veil, it becomes the Curse of the Clock. When a being slips through from another dimension, or an ancient legend awakens, or a dark spirit stirs, someone must hunt the intruder before the world drowns in chaos and the supernatural. It’s called the Devil’s Hour. In the city of Pendralice, the factions are divided—each marked by the symbol of its own bird and driven by its own beliefs. Sikakama arrives, searching for the legendary sword to become a knight, shaped by the story of her childhood, and soon crosses paths with the Raven Tower Division. Here, time controls everything. And no matter how much you think you hold power over it, you’re merely part of another tale woven by fate, in a world that has forgotten the meaning of a knight and the ideals they once stood for. Can you still become a hero… while the clock keeps ticking in reverse?

[Trigger Warning: This semi dark fantasy romance contains few mature themes.] SYNOPSIS: •A WORLD BUILT ON LIES• Long ago, humans lived unaware of the supernatural beings hidden among them—werewolves with their primal instincts, witches whispering spells in the dark, and elves with their ancient, watchful eyes. For centuries, they coexisted in fragile silence. Then, everything shattered. Near the shadow-drenced woods of the Shadow pack kingdom, human traveler stumbled upon a gruesome scene: an old woman’s lifeless body, her skin ashen, her wounds gaping like accusations. A few paces away lay a dead werewolf, its throat ripped open, its muzzle still flecked with blood. The truth was undeniable—monsters walked among them. Fear ignited war. Humans, armed with fire and steel, hunted the supernatural races. Witches and elves were dragged into the slaughter, their homes burned, their people butchered. The bloodshed raged until King Alfred V of the Amethyst Kingdom stood before the four Werewolf Kings—Silverhowl, Crimsonheart, Shadow, and Atlassian —and offered a deal drenched in poison. A sacrifice for peace. Every twenty years, each human family would surrender a daughter to the werewolves. And in return, the future Alpha Kings must wed a human—or the war would reignite. The werewolves agreed. The witches and elves retreated, their hatred festering like an open wound. The world remained fractured, its peace a fragile lie. --- •THE PROPHECY OF FIRE• In the hidden Blaze Tribe, where crimson eyes burned like embers, the seer Prophetia foresaw annihilation. "Our people will fall," she rasped, her voice trembling. "But from the ashes, a girl will rise—the one who will bring true peace… and the one they will slaughter for it." The tribe made a desperate pact. They would cast a spell—a curse of forgotten memory—erasing their existence from the world’s mind. Their souls would be the price, but their legacy would live on in Ovelia, the child of prophecy. The night the Blaze Tribe fell, Ovelia’s parents hid her in the whispering forest, their hands shaking as they sealed a goddess—Firera—inside her infant body. Then, they turned to face their doom. --- •FATE’S CRUEL WHISPER• Ace Draven—half-werewolf, half-witch prince of Silverhowl—had never believed in destiny. Until he found a crying infant in the forest. His wolf, Fenrir, howled in recognition. A crimson thread shimmered between them—mates. But Firera, watching from within Ovelia’s soul, snarled. "She’s a child. This is too soon." With a flick of her wrist and spell, she tore the memory from Ace’s mind, leaving only an empty ache in his chest. --- •TWENTY YEARS LATER: A SACRIFICE IGNITES• Ovelia has spent her life as a slave, raised by the cruel mayor of Timberline Village—a man who would gladly sacrifice her to spare his own daughter. The night of the sacrifice, the air reeks of damp earth and iron. Torches flicker as the werewolves emerge from the shadows. And then—Ace Draven steps forward. Their eyes meet. Fenrir *howls*. Ace’s claws unsheathe, his breath ragged. He doesn’t understand why his wolf is clawing at his ribs, why his pulse hammers at the sight of this stranger. But the bond between them burns hotter than vengeance. Ovelia doesn’t know him. He doesn’t recognize her. And yet, their souls scream in unison.

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

Haruko could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel. And she had become a cannon fodder villainess! Facing a death flag right at the start, Haruko decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead. “Ichiko, the one I like is you!” “You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!” “I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!” She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only. But gradually, Haruko noticed something was off. The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere. “Hey, Haruko, you can only like me too, okay?”

Jump into a new adventure alongside Kevin, Gerald, and Samantha as they navigate the breathtaking world of ENTITY: The Full Saga! Thousands of years in the distant past, humanity faced a threat unlike anything they had ever witnessed. Creatures known as entities roamed the ancient lands, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake as they attacked civilization after civilization, each one lacking the strength and power to oppose the rampaging monsters. From the stacking tragedies emerged the Ancient Symbols, a group of mighty individuals led by one of history’s most renowned figures — the Realm God. Together, they united to form the World Anomaly Hunting Organization, uniting the early world of entities under a single government. Millenia passed before the WAHO plunged into instability, eventually overwhelmed by entities 700 years ago and returning the world to chaos. The three-year timespan between the WAHO’s fall and the next formation of a new hunting organization was known as Anomaly Doomsday — a time where nobody — not even the remnants of the WAHO, could restore order. That was until 697 years ago, when the Nahatan Federal Anomaly Hunting Organization (later changed to the Nahatan Federal Entity Hunting Organization to match modern terminology) formed, followed by hundreds of others such as the AOES (Anatan Organization of Entity Suppression, 690 years ago) and the AEP (Animare Entity Pact, 472 years ago). Together, these country-bound organizations restored order to the world and grew, bringing yet another period of stability in what is known as the Present Day. And, within that peaceful era, three unlicensed teenagers prepared to pursue dreams of their own. Their destination? ENTITY. And, little did they know, a whole new world was waiting at its summit.

In a world ruled by ancient clans and a mysterious system that controls balance itself, peace begins to collapse the moment a forbidden symbol appears in the sky. The five great clans—Ignition, Cryomix, Shadow, Soulhall, and Aqualis—stand united for the first time in centuries, sensing the arrival of something the world was never meant to witness again: Eclipse. Amid the growing chaos lives Kael, a cold and feared young man carrying secrets even the clans cannot understand. Beside him is his playful younger brother, Riven, whose laughter hides deeper loyalty than anyone realizes. Their lives change completely when Kael approaches Elara, a powerful Cryomix warrior haunted by fragments of a forgotten past she cannot explain. As hidden truths awaken, the world slowly discovers the terrifying reality behind the Eclipse bloodline—a lineage so dangerous that even the system itself fears its existence. Ancient wars, erased history, immortal enemies, and forbidden powers begin resurfacing one after another, dragging every clan into a conflict far beyond survival. At the center of it all stands Vireon of Eclipse, the man feared even by monsters. The deeper Kael descends into the truth of Eclipse, the more the world begins viewing him not as a savior—but as the next catastrophe destined to destroy reality itself. While divine forces, cursed immortals, and system authorities wage war to erase Eclipse forever, Kael faces a far more dangerous battle inside himself: Can someone born to become destruction choose humanity instead? As devastating wars consume the world and reality itself begins collapsing, Elara becomes the only person capable of pulling Kael back from the darkness threatening to devour him. Together, they challenge not only fate, but the very system that decides who deserves to exist. Binary is a dark fantasy action-romance webnovel filled with powerful clans, forbidden lineage, emotional character development, massive war arcs, mystery, sacrifice, and a slow-burning love story that grows in the middle of chaos. At its heart, Binary is not just a story about power. It is the story of a boy feared by the world… learning that even the strongest soul still needs someone worth returning to.

PLOT SCOPE The barrier holding back Abaddon — powered by the Twelve Heavenly Crystals — has started to weaken, and Gates to that realm are tearing open all across Zeon, threatening to unleash floods of fiends onto every civilization in their path. In response, the Fabled Class sends Kei and Vincent on a critical scouting mission into the Sunhonghin Imperial Kingdom (Iona). Their goal: infiltrate the Shengyowon vault during the once-every-three-years Fang Heian festival, track down the crystals, and figure out what's draining their power. Once they arrive in Iona, the pair builds a cover story and ends up crossing paths with Princess Choi Yejin, leader of the Blood Rose division. After demonstrating their combat skill through a series of trials and duels at Zheng Fort, they're formally brought into the imperial ranks as her retainers. Their journey deeper into Iona, headed toward Lingwen Fortress, takes a sharp turn when the Southern Alliance Treaty (SAT) launches a full-scale invasion. Forced to fight alongside the Hwa-Samurai along the coastline and take down enemy commanders in the process, Kei and Vincent find themselves stretched thin — juggling their cover as loyal retainers with their real mission, all while something darker moves quietly behind the scenes, working to tear down the barriers protecting their world.
