The Contract Marriage Deal

Kunal and Aarohi are two people living completely different emotional lives. Kunal is still deeply in love with someone from his past, unable to let go of what once was. Aarohi, on the other hand, is fiercely independent and career-driven, with no interest in love or relationships. Fate throws them together in an unexpected way when a one-night mistake binds them in a situation they never intended. To manage the fallout and societal pressure, they enter into a contract marriage—a strictly defined arrangement with rules, boundaries, and no emotional expectations. However, living under the same roof begins to blur those boundaries. Kunal finds himself torn between his lingering attachment to his first love and the quiet, growing presence of Aarohi in his life. Aarohi, determined to stay unaffected, slowly begins to see layers of Kunal that challenge her assumptions about him—and about love itself. Their relationship is anything but smooth. They clash, misunderstand each other, and struggle with jealousy, vulnerability, and unspoken emotions. Yet, amidst the chaos, they share moments of unexpected comfort and connection. Over time, the contract that once defined their limits becomes irrelevant. What started as an obligation evolves into something genuine. Both are forced to confront their fears, let go of the past, and accept the possibility of love again. In the end, Kunal and Aarohi choose each other—not because they have to, but because they truly want to. The contract that once felt like a cage becomes the foundation of a love built on honesty, growth, and choice.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?

Shadows behind the smile....

In the quiet city of Blackwood, life appears normal—until people begin to disappear without a trace. Whispers spread, rumors fade, and the truth is buried beneath silence. But for Ryan Verma, the mystery is far too personal to ignore. Haunted by the unexplained disappearance of his brother Aarav, Ryan begins to uncover a hidden network operating beneath the city. Strange symbols, secret locations, and erased records lead him to a terrifying realization—this is not random. Someone has been watching, planning, and waiting. As Ryan digs deeper, he crosses paths with Elena, a sharp and determined student unwilling to ignore the truth, and Adrian, a mysterious figure who seems to know more than he admits. Together, they are pulled into a dangerous game where trust is fragile and every answer leads to a darker question. What they uncover is far worse than they imagined. Beneath Blackwood lies a hidden facility—an organization that doesn’t just take people, but changes them. Memories are altered. Identities are rewritten. Humans are turned into something… controlled. And at the center of it all— Aarav. But the brother Ryan came to save is no longer the same. Torn between human memory and artificial control, Aarav becomes both victim and threat. As the system tightens its grip, Ryan is forced to make an impossible choice: fight the system… or risk losing his brother forever. In a final confrontation where emotion clashes with control, Ryan discovers that the greatest battle isn’t against the system—but within the human mind itself. Because some things cannot be erased. And some bonds refuse to break. Even in the darkest shadows. “In a city where people don’t just disappear—but are rewritten—one brother must fight a system that controls the human mind to save the only person he refuses to lose.”

Binary Reflections

Eli has lived his whole life in Port Virel, a small coastal town where most things stay the same year after year. The streets are familiar, the school is the same one everyone’s parents went to, and most days move at the same steady pace. It is the kind of place where nothing strange is supposed to happen. For most of his life Eli never expected it would. Over the past year, though, something about his life has started to feel slightly off. He catches himself zoning out in the middle of class and realizing minutes have passed without him noticing. Sometimes he stares at something and gets the strange feeling that the world shifted a little while he wasn’t paying attention. Not in an obvious way, just enough to leave him unsettled afterward. It is the kind of thing that is easy to brush off as stress or lack of sleep, so that is exactly what he tries to do. That explanation stops working after one morning in Port Virel forces him to accept that some things in the world don’t follow the rules he thought they did. Soon after, Eli is taken to Aurelion, the capital city, by a man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Compared to Port Virel, the city feels enormous. Glass towers rise behind older stone buildings, highways stack across the skyline, and the entire place moves with a pace Eli has never experienced before. At first it just feels like the normal difference between a quiet town and a capital city. The longer he stays there, though, the more he begins to realize that parts of the city operate under rules most people never notice. There are people in the world known as carriers. They are born with rare paired abilities called binaries, and those abilities follow their own strange logic. Most of the public has no idea carriers exist. For generations certain organizations have quietly located them, trained them, and kept their existence hidden so the rest of the world never has to deal with the consequences. Alongside carriers there are also things called shades. Even the people who study them struggle to fully explain what they are. They are tied to the same strange structure of reality that carriers interact with, and when they appear they can become extremely dangerous. Encounters with them are rare for ordinary people, mostly because the groups responsible for dealing with them work hard to make sure the public never sees what is actually happening. Eli enters this hidden system with almost no understanding of it. The people around him already know the rules and treat them like common sense. He is still trying to figure out why he was brought into it at all. The more he learns, the more it becomes clear that the world surrounding carriers and shades has been operating quietly for a long time, shaped by history most people have never heard about. Binary Reflections follows Eli as he tries to make sense of this reality while still holding on to the life he thought he understood. What begins as confusion slowly turns into something larger. A hidden system built on secrecy, dangerous abilities that few people truly understand, and a past that may be more connected to him than anyone is willing to explain.

As a Blacksmith in the World of Jujutsu Kaisen

[Note: This novel is updated on every even-numbered date] My name is Kenji Satoshi. In my first life, I worked as a Game Item Designer—someone who designed weapons, artifacts, and various objects with strange functions for virtual worlds. My days were spent in front of a screen, drowning in endless work. Like an ending far too common, I died from exhaustion. Nothing dramatic—just darkness… and then I woke up again. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was inside the body of a small child, bearing the exact same name as mine. That confusion, however, quickly turned into fear. This world was not the Earth I knew. I saw Cursed Spirits—creatures that should have existed only in anime. The strangeness deepened when I saw the name of the Shinomiya Family on television, and discovered Kuoh City while searching for information on the internet. That was when I understood. This was not an ordinary world, but a crossover world formed from various anime I had once watched. A dangerous world—chaotic, unforgiving, and utterly hostile to an ordinary person like me. A simple yet terrifying question kept echoing in my mind: could I survive here? The answer came when I was attacked by a Cursed Spirit and nearly died. At the very edge of destruction, something within me awakened—my Innate Technique. I gained the ability to forge, create, and reconstruct various objects with diverse functions using Cursed Energy. This power did not make me strong from the start. My energy reserves were limited, and every creation carried its own risks. But one thing was certain—I would survive. In this cursed world, I would forge my own path.

Ambroise: The Cruel Duchess

“When the black shadows fade, I will return with vengeance long delayed. I am the heir, the wind that fans the flame, and I will burn a throne unworthy of its name.” - Aeris Ambroise The cruel tragedy that unfolded seven years ago forced a young girl to stand as the shield of her family. Every emotion, every sorrow, was buried deep within her heart, locked away with no voice to release them. “My lady, life is cruel enough already. Why are you pushing me away too? Keep me by your side and use me as you like. I will walk into the fire with you.” - Ash Hendro Watching the woman who captured his heart, yet whom he could never truly possess, Ash Hendro chose to defy orders to remain at Aeris Ambroise’s side. Even knowing his decision could cost him his life. Even if it meant closing his eyes and turning away from his sworn duty. “We serve the crown, not the emperor. Our loyalty belongs only to the throne held by the Imperial Family. It is our duty to ensure that the ruler fulfills their responsibility to the people. Airel, if the one seated upon the throne oppresses his own people, then we, as the guardian of the empire, must take action. Do not falter as the protection of the wind will always be with you. Remember that.” - Aeris Ambroise Blinded by a vengeance long nurtured in silence, can Aeris Ambroise turn her back on her responsibility in the name of justice? Can she continue moving forward, even if it means letting go of everything she holds dear? The once-peaceful Empire of Ankaa stands on the brink of a great conflict. One that will leave scars upon history itself. Because of the brutal tragedy seven years ago, the sole female heir of the Ambroise family came to be known as the most ruthless head the Ambroise lineage has ever produced.

The Seraph’s Final Command

In a world where Alphas rule and Enigmas are extinct… the last one is a prisoner. And his warden is dying to touch him. --- Kaelen is the last Enigma—a near-mythical being whose resonance can heal or destroy with a single touch. He doesn't remember his past. He doesn't know why the Emperor sealed him in a living crystal prison. All he knows is that every time he uses his power, he forgets another piece of himself. Lord Cassian Vale is the Silent Reaper, the most feared Alpha warlord in the realm. His control is legendary. His instincts, iron. But a slow, maddening fracture is splintering his psyche—his inner wolf gnawing at the edges of his sanity. Without an Enigma's resonance, he will become the very monster he hunts. The solution is simple: force Kaelen to heal him. The problem is forbidden: if an Enigma willingly bonds with an Alpha, it triggers the Reverberation—a psychic scream that awakens every Alpha's primal rage, plunging the continent into an endless, mindless war. Their love would be the apocalypse. But inside that sterile prison, with the Emperor's spies at every door and Cassian's soul splintering with each passing hour, not touching becomes impossible. Every healing session steals another memory from Kaelen. Every accidental brush carves a deeper soulwound into Cassian—a mark of addiction and agony that only intimacy can soothe, and only oblivion can end. They have two choices: · Stay apart. Let Cassian go mad. Let Kaelen fade into nothing. · Come together. Burn the world. And forget each other's faces in the ashes. --- Will they risk the end of everything for one moment of honesty? Or will the last Enigma and the broken Alpha discover that some bonds are forbidden because they were never meant to be broken—only endured?
