To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

Path System : He Who Stands Alone

-------WSA 2025 ENTRY------- In the continent of Eldoria—where technology mirrors the late 1980s—rival nations, shadowy organizations, and powerful noble houses wage an unending struggle for absolute control. Amidst grand academies, young souls embark on a path toward greatness... or ruin. Damien, an orphan haunted by the darkness within his mind, leaves the safety of his orphanage to face a world brimming with both limitless opportunity and unspeakable horrors. As his awakening ceremony approaches, the line between salvation and despair blurs. Will he rise to claim his destiny, or fall into oblivion? The answer lies in Eldoria’s unforgiving shadows. ****** Author's Notes: Tired of cliché webnovels? Where the MC is spoon-fed everything by the system? Where every side character exists solely to get slaughtered by the MC? Where the MC is randomly hated for no reason? Where “character development” means collecting a harem and walking around like an emotionless robot from chapter one? Where women fall for him just because… he breathes? If you’re sick of all that— This is your escape. Here, you’ll find a protagonist who earns his power, faces real challenges, and grows through them. The world won’t bend to his will, characters have their own motives, and relationships are built—not handed out. Please read the first 20 chapters before deciding if this novel is for you or not ;) Update Schedule: 14 chapters a week. Real stakes. Real growth. Real intrigue. — Sloth

The Man They Had to Hide

In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.
