Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

They called him Nine. Once, he was destined to rule the stars. Born to the immortal Soulborn clans, Nine awakened as a true god—heir to Atlantis, protector of the universe. But, on his coronation day, mortals rebelled. They slaughtered the gods, tortured the survivors, and locked Nine inside a nightmare of his own creation: the night his village burned, replaying endlessly for ten thousand years. Every loop, he watches his father die. Every loop, he fails to save them. Every loop, he dies in the flames—only to wake and suffer it again. Until someone summons him. Ripped from his prison and thrust into the body of Little Finger—a street thief and his own mortal soul fragment—Nine awakens in chains, powerless in a frozen land built on the graves of gods. The mortals who destroyed his kind now rule, and they have no idea what they've unleashed. Born to protect the universe, Nine must choose: fulfill his divine purpose... or burn it all down. *************************************** "The next time I rise... it won't be to save them. It'll be to end them." In a world where gods were murdered and their tombs desecrated, the dead have returned—not to save, but to punish.

Everyone mourned the decorated police officer who died in a failed raid against the underworld. Everyone—except his younger brother. To the world, Yuren is just an innocent college boy with soft smiles and gentle eyes, quietly dating the city’s most untouchable man: Kairav Voss, the billionaire CEO rumored to freeze rooms with a glance. A man the media calls The Cold King. A man the underworld knows as its silent executioner. What no one knows is that Yuren stepped into Kairav’s arms with a single purpose: revenge. His brother didn’t die in a mission. He was executed. As Yuren sinks deeper into Kairav’s glass-and-blood empire, mafia partners begin to die—one by one—each death cleaner, quieter, more impossible than the last. No witnesses. No suspects. Only whispers of a ghost moving through the underworld. All the while, Kairav’s heart—long believed to be incapable of love—melts for the boy who feels like salvation. But obsession twists both ways. Kairav doesn’t see the monster growing beside him. Yuren doesn’t expect to fall so deeply into the arms of the very man he plans to destroy. Love turns into possession. Trust becomes a weapon. And the truth—when it finally surfaces—shatters everything they believe. Because the real villain was never hiding in the shadows. He was smiling sweetly in lecture halls. Sleeping beside the king of the underworld. Kissing him like a promise. In the final, unforgivable twist, the truth is revealed: the hand that killed the police officer… belongs to the one Kairav loves most. And for love—true, obsessive, ruinous love— the Cold King dies by his boyfriend’s hand. A story of betrayal disguised as devotion, of innocence that masks annihilation, and of a love so absolute it chooses destruction over mercy. Some hearts don’t break. They burn the world instead.

Man must claw at God. Humanity has always been frugal and greedy in its efforts, reaching for what it does not deserve while pretending its hands are clean.

Nicholas would despise himself more than anyone else, and even then, he would still dare to fight for his life. Such audacity, coming from someone so painfully small, is utterly unacceptable. And yet, despite how pitiful his struggles appear and how worthless that foolish man may be, his frantic grasping might still amount to something in the end. Nicholas, even something like him could crave sanctity. However dreams were not reality, what might a lamb do, if they wish to dream? More Tags: Cosmic Horror, Philosophical, Psychological.

Of a Duke whose legacy rotted from within. Aldric de Beaumont—illegitimate heir and decorated captain of the royal knights—returns to his ancestral duchy to find it poisoned by corruption and haunted by the remnants of his father’s forbidden sorcery. Branded by a curse he never asked for, Aldric walks the thin line between loyalty and lunacy, between man… and the monster his blood yearns to become. But in the hush between whispers, another voice calls to him—soft, luminous, familiar. As madness stalks his every step, Aldric must confront the truth buried beneath centuries of deceit: the Beaumont bloodline forged a pact with an ancient power now stirring in its grave. The corruption is spreading, twisting flesh and fate alike, and the key to stopping it lies within Aldric himself. “You carry the curse of his blood, Aldric,” Elias whispers—the voice that both anchors and unravels him. Torn between duty and desire, haunted by visions and betrayal, Aldric must decide which nightmare to embrace: The darkness bequeathed by his father… or the one blooming in his own heart. The future of Beaumont—and the bond that defies death—hangs on a single choice. “The storm is here,” she murmurs. “Will you rise from it, Aldric… or drown?”
