When Youth Burns

Myself Daniel, as Do-yoon in this novel made a novel on my life. Shin Do-yoon never expected middle school to change his life. Quiet, withdrawn, and carrying more than he lets anyone see, Do-yoon arrives at Seorin Middle School two weeks after the school year has already begun. While everyone else seems to have found their place, he remains a stranger among familiar faces, trying to get through each day without drawing attention to himself. Then he meets Choi Seung-min. Seung-min is loud where Do-yoon is quiet, reckless where Do-yoon is cautious, and somehow manages to pull him into a friendship neither of them expected. What begins with a few ordinary conversations slowly becomes something deeper: two lonely boys finding in each other the kind of companionship they had been missing. But youth isn't only about laughter, friendship, and memories. Behind closed doors, Do-yoon carries problems no one at school knows about. Seung-min has struggles of his own. And as their lives begin to intertwine, the line between ordinary school days and the things they are trying to escape becomes harder to ignore. Some friendships change your life. Some years leave scars. And some moments stay with you long after youth has burned away.

Origins of Blood

For thousands of years, the government lied, kept us hostage, and sold us unknowingly. Little did we know that these times would be the best for us all. The High-Bloods came through the firmament that veiled us in snow, and conquered everything. They shattered our false freedom, burned flesh from our bones, and feasted on us for sport. They enslaved us to be chained beyond Earth's soil—Hemorion, they call it their home. Now, we are forced into a society ruled by blood, where Kingdoms, slaves, and the deaths of beloved are as common as the light from Helios, one of their deities. Yet, whenever my eyelids close, I still see red—the light of us all stolen ... my brother’s and my own dying. But as my blood is red, my hope burns forever. I will kill them all. Note: this is a rewritten version of my already published first Volume, "Red Eclipse," of "Origins of Blood," and thus will be a revised edition with changes throughout the entire story, including prose, characters, worldbuilding, powersystem, and other elements.

Wan Zhaolu sighed and was about to turn back to cleaning her sword when she heard him continued: "Or you could try this dress little Jinghua gave me. Sighs, why did she even give me such a thing? It’s not as if I can wear it." Wan Zhaolu snapped her head back at him, "Who is this Jinghua? Is she a woman?" "Huh? She is Yisong's junior, she visited us a few months ago remeber?

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE
