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?

Silver Preston was supposed to be America’s next figure skating sweetheart—until a brutal injury shattered her Olympic dreams and left her stranded at Yale, miles away from the ice that defined her. All she wants is to stay invisible, to escape the suffocating grip of her former coach-mother, and to outrun the whispers that she’s finished. But Yale hockey isn’t quiet, and neither is Eli Hayes—the team’s captain, campus golden boy, and infuriatingly unreadable. To Silver, he’s arrogant, cold, and everything she swore she’d avoid. To Eli, she’s reckless, stubborn, and a distraction he can’t afford. Their worlds were never meant to collide—except the rink has a way of pulling broken people back onto the ice. When gossip turns cruel and secrets from the past threaten to destroy her for good, Silver is forced to decide whether she’ll keep running or fight for the life—and the love—she thought she lost. And as Eli battles his own demons under the unforgiving glare of NHL scouts, their fragile connection becomes the one thing that could save them both…or break them completely. Full of sharp banter, late-night study sessions, stolen glances at the rink, and the electric push-pull of enemies who might be more, this is a story of ambition, redemption, and the thin line between pride and passion.

Too Many Losing Heroes Five lives. Five stories. Each scar hides a reason to love again. Told through five arcs, every story reveals a different kind of love — gentle or painful, quiet or fierce — each capturing a truth about what it really means to love and to lose. Arc 1 — Rahul: The Artist of Lies He hides behind sarcasm and silence — a boy who doesn’t believe in love or justice anymore. But when a strange confession turns his quiet world upside down, he finds himself drawn into something he never expected: sincerity. In a place full of fake smiles and whispered rumors, Rahul learns that sometimes the hardest truth is letting someone see who you really are. A story of trust, redemption, and the kind of love that feels too real to be safe. Arc 2 — Raj (Hayabusa): The Boy with the Scar To everyone, Raj is perfect — a calm, focused fencing champion who never loses his composure. But perfection is just another mask. When an unexpected encounter challenges the loneliness he’s carried for years, Raj must decide if he’s ready to open his heart again — or if some memories are too sharp to hold. A story about gentle hearts, hidden pain, and finding someone who doesn’t flinch at your scars. Arc 3 — Leo: The Star Who Forgot to Shine He was born to be adored — the idol, the dancer, the name on every billboard. But fame is a cruel mirror, and Leo’s reflection hides more than anyone knows. When a girl with quiet eyes steps into his world, she doesn’t see the celebrity — she sees the boy still learning how to breathe. And for the first time, he wonders if love could be louder than applause. A story about fame, fear, and the courage to love when everyone’s watching. Arc 4 — Hritik: The One Who Sees Too Much Hritik trusts numbers more than people. He built walls out of code, firewalls around his heart — because data doesn’t lie, but people always do. Then someone begins breaking through both. As secrets unravel and memories resurface, Hritik learns that not every connection is meant to be encrypted. A story about control, vulnerability, and falling for someone who knows how to read your silence. Arc 5 — Neel: The Forgotten Memory He doesn’t remember what he lost — only that something inside him aches for answers. Surrounded by friends who treat him like glass, Neel begins to piece together the truth hidden behind their smiles. But when love brings back the memories they all tried to bury, Neel must face the question none of them ever could: Was it worth it? A story about memory, love, and the quiet heroism of forgiveness. Series Theme Every arc is a different kind of love — one born from pain, another from trust, another from loss. Five broken hearts, one shared story. Because not all heroes save others. Some just save themselves — one heartbeat at a time.

So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.
