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 Quiet, withdrawn, and carrying more than he lets anyone see, Do-yoon arrives at Seorin Middle School two weeks after the school year has already begun.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.

Simulated Journey To The Top

The Qiao Empire is a place where cultivation separates the remarkable from the forgotten. It's where a bigger fist is the law, and falling behind means staying behind, forever. Du Yuan is behind. On paper. Bamboo spends years underground before it rises faster than anything else in the forest. Du Yuan is a reincarnator. Earth's knowledge has quietly been turned into leverage.  He has a seat to take over, a clan to expand. A future already meticulously mapped. Then the Simulator arrived.  It made him question the understanding of the world, that took over 16 years to build.  It grants cheats and golden fingers from who knows where.  It runs possibilities he has lived yet hasn't lived and hands him power drawn from their outcomes. It speaks of other versions of him as casually as one speaks of the weather. He has survived a reincarnation on skepticism and patience. He doesn't plan to change any time soon.  Nonetheless, His original plans need some serious modifications. The roots, however, aren't going anywhere.

War for Justice

Every great man believed he was righteous. War for Justice is the story of a boy raised in isolation, shaped by scripture, and pointed toward greatness before he was old enough to choose it. This is a story about faith and what it demands. About brotherhood and what it costs. About power - how it is seized, how it corrupts, and how it convinces good men that what they are doing is still good. Not every tragedy ends with a man who chose evil.

The maze does not simplify. The sanctuary of frequency has woken again. Shattering the glass of mundanity. Whose side are you on? Or have you been inside both but never noticed?

Time Lock

In a technologically advanced future where elite academies compete for prestige, eleven exceptional students receive a mysterious invitation to participate in The Chrysalis Initiative, a secretive tournament reputed to challenge the world’s most brilliant minds. Within an advanced simulation, the participants are assigned concealed roles as Hunters or Survivors. With no certainty of who stands on which side—and with roles capable of shifting between rounds—alliances begin to form even as doubt quietly takes root. As the tournament progresses, every interaction becomes a test of perception and every decision a calculated risk. Trust begins to erode, and the students find themselves questioning not only those around them, but their own judgment, instincts, and sense of self. In a system built upon deception and survival, the question is no longer who will win, but how far someone can be pushed before losing the very humanity they are trying to protect.

Overseer - [Psychological Urban Fantasy]

Every criminal in Anderis dreams of being hired as a Receiver for the Syndicate. And for good reason: they'd be guaranteed work and pay, gain a fearsome reputation, and, for those few gifted with supernatural abilities, they'd be granted free rein to use their powers. However, for the former-office worker—codenamed Rookie—the Syndicate's Retirement Scheme is all that matters. "50,000 shares. That's all I need to erase myself from the outside world. Past, Present, and Future... I'll leave it all behind." But with tensions rising between the nation's factions, rumblings of another War, and the headache-inducing voices he keeps hearing—cracks have formed in the thatched walls of Rookie's life, making way for his past to come pouring through. One dreadful wave after the other. Will Rookie attain the freedom he desperately desires? Or will he instead be drowned beneath the crushing tides of his past? - Current release schedule will be daily: from Monday to Friday at 17:30 GMT. - Backlog is about 250k words. So this story won’t be disappearing/going on hiatus for a good while! Cover Art by @NadiaDibaj

Dark Desires

It starts simple: one tries to take control, the other refuses to be contained. But instead of a clean clash, it turns into something slower, sharper. Senka doesn’t like uncertainty—she pushes, tests, forces things into clarity. Moriarty doesn’t resist loudly; he studies, bends, and answers in ways that never fully give her what she wants.
