A Wind Like You

In a quiet town in Japan, a lonely boy named Aoi notices a strange daily phenomenon: Every evening at exactly 4:14 PM, a sudden howl of wind passes through the town. During that moment, he meets Naomi, a gentle girl who seems connected to the wind. As they begin to spend time together, Aoi realizes something unsettling that no one else seems to remember her, and her presence fades with the wind itself. As their bond grows, Aoi discovers that Naomi may not fully belong to the present… and that their time together is slowly running out. In a story about fleeting connections and quiet love, Aoi must learn whether holding on is worth more than letting go.

That night, drunk and utterly broken, Richard was attacked by a mysterious figure. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the modern world. His body was small. His skin was green.

The Billionaire's Fake Girlfriend

"Sign the contract, Ava. Play the part of my perfect woman for six months, and I will wipe out your debt by morning. Refuse, and watch your father’s legacy burn." He is Ethan Alexander Blackwood, the cold, pragmatic "Ice King" CEO of a multi-billion-dollar empire who treats human connection as a dangerous liability. But when a calculated corporate scandal threatens to strip him of his crown, he needs an immediate public shield to protect his throne. She is Ava Grace Carter, a fiercely resilient event planner drowning under a mountain of predatory debt. She loathes everything Ethan’s elite world stands for. But with twenty-one days left before the bank seizes her late father's company, she is forced to sell her freedom to the devil in a tailored suit. The Rules of the Game Were Simple: Never look at each other with real emotion in public. Never ask about the secrets hiding in the dark. Never, under any circumstances, fall in love. But the moment Ava steps into his ultra-elite high society world under the fake arrangement, their transactional walls begin to crack. Deep family secrets reveal their matching fates were never an accident. Someone in the shadows wants them both dead, and the ultimate threat hides behind the faces they trust the most. As the contract lines blur into a dangerous obsession, Ava breaks her ultimate rule. But in a game where devastating betrayal lurks behind every close smile, trusting the Ice King might be the most lethal risk of all.

The Revenge Affair My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me

“It’s still her.” Three words. That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet. Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun. I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending. Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize. As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful. Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?" I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no." It was a terrifying, thrilling question. “What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

Gifted

Most people don't remember being born. Sebastian remembers dying first. Reborn with his memories somewhat intact and a stolen demon's power tangled into his soul, he's given something rarer than any starting class: time. Time to test his limits before he can walk. Time to reverse-engineer a hidden system no one will explain to him. Time to learn exactly how much of himself he can afford to reveal, and to who. Growing up at a mountain outpost on the edge of nowhere, raised by a disgraced mage and the mother who saved him from a cult's altar, Bastian has every reason to keep his Status a secret. But the numbers don't lie, and neither does the thing he absorbed in the womb. Somewhere in the dark, it's still hungry. And it isn't the only thing watching him grow. Gifted: First Steps — some paths begin before you can walk.

ABSOLVE: The Dark Horse

He was arguing that free will exists when the world ended. One move from winning. A stone between his fingers. His oldest rival across the board, insisting that nothing anyone does is truly chosen — that every step of a man's life was laid down before he took the first. Then the room skipped, and Shen Huang woke facedown in black water on a world that had never heard of Earth. He did not panic. He counted. Wrong cold. Fog the color of a bruise. A crowd above him, waiting. Two seconds, and he understood he was dead, and elsewhere, and here on purpose. The third second was the one that should have frightened him. He was interested. In this world, power is inherited. The Vashari are born holding it — fire that follows the eye, minds that bend memory, futures read like a page. Everyone else is Nuun. The empty. The severed. Cattle with names, herded into a drowned frontier nobody else wanted. Shen Huang has no power. He will never have power. He has something worse. He has four thousand years of a dead world's warcraft locked behind his eyes — every siege, every betrayal, every annihilation history ever recorded — and he has landed among a people who have never seen a single one of them. They will call him the Nobody. Then the general. Then the King of the Empty. And when they finally find a word for what he is, it will not be a title. It will be a curse, whispered in a language older than their gods, for the thing that moves without being moved. He has done this before. He does not remember losing.

Gaia's Second Champion

Pulled from the River of Souls by a goddess, I’m given a choice: become her champion and defeat the enemy, or cease to exist. A second chance at life. Sounds simple, right? Yeah—no. The goddess is hiding something. The power I asked for? Not what she gave me. It was supposed to save my life, now it takes them. Yeah, that’s going to have consequences. My first friend? A Fae creature with secrets she’s too stubborn to tell, burdened by a past she regrets, and a punishment keeping her trapped between who she is, and who she used to be. Together we’ll fight, survive, and perhaps change things, and one another, if we live long enough. As we travel a world that doesn’t trust champions or Fae, the truth about the goddess’ struggle begins to unravel. I wasn’t brought here to save this world. I was brought here for something else entirely. This is an isekai romantasy, a tale about second chances and forgiveness, found family and the bonds that keep people together. It’s also about a fish out of water MC stumbling his way from one potential disaster to the next and the FMC who fights at his side. WHAT TO EXPECT : NO harem A romance integral to the plot Spice, mild to heavy, beginning in Vol 2 2 POVs Dialogue heavy, with fun banter Pulpy-style prose Updates M/W/F, large backlog, 60k+ new words/month.

The Worst Kobold

Fluke was the worst kobold who ever lived. He was a clumsy, awkward, malformed, 50-ton, thick-scaled, razor-clawed, creature of unimaginable destruction. He caved in the entire east copper mine with a swing of his tail, and he nearly crushedthe hatchery caretaker Tenderclaw beneath his massive feet. He was truly the worst. Now, I know what you're thinking. That... sounds like I'm talking about a dragon. But no. Fluke was confident he was a simple kobold. He knew it. Everyone in the tribe knew it. Hatched from an egg? Check. Raised by kobolds? Check. Lives underground in caves? Check. Clearly, a kobold. Dragons were royalty. Powerful, majestic, titanic beasts of pure elemental power. And Fluke certainly wasn't any of that. After all, no all-powerful dragon would toil away in the mines like he did… right? But when the humans attacked one day, and he saw his friend struck down , Fluke began to learn there might be parts of himself he’s… overlooked. Please, have a seat, and let me tell you about Fluke. The Worst Kobold. A non-zero chance to be an upcoming 3d animated movie! What to expect: Native protagonists. (No LitRPG or Isekai, though I'm a big fan of the genres! A cozy comedy centered around a dragon convinced he's a kobold. No harem! Main character has enough trouble asking out one kobold. Interconnected stories with different points of views, including the badass warrior kobold love interest, the noble prince who'd be the main character elsewhere, and a pluck minorly magic goblin! 48% more kobolds than other stories Art done by: Flar

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)

Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.

The Ending Reader

As the city collapses beneath endless rain, fractured timelines, and horrors born from abandoned stories, Vael is dragged into a war against the inevitable end of humanity itself. And at the center of it all stands a girl trying desperately not to fall in love with the boy destined to erase himself for her sake. Because in every timeline, the world ends. And in every ending... Vael dies for her.
