RED DAWN

Ash lived believing he was carrying something he never should have had to. He couldn’t let it go, and he called it a burden. He never admitted what it really was. One day, Ash started hearing a voice in his head. It offered him a way to awaken his soul and become one of those who had everything in life, who lived as they wished. Free. But Ash’s soul hadn’t awakened naturally, and a forced awakening carried great risks. He couldn’t take them, not while he was bound to the lives of three others. So the voice made a offer: a way with no risk at all.

Memory of Heaven

Love is not illegal in this universe. It is simply not allowed to exist. When an Overseer of Reality falls in love with a girl meant to die, causality begins to fracture—and the universe starts preparing to erase them both. *** In a universe governed by function, efficiency, and cosmic law, love is an anomaly no system can quantify. Fitran is an Overseer of Reality—an executor of balance tasked with maintaining causality across worlds. He was never meant to choose, hesitate, or care. Rinoa is a fractured soul, rewritten across eras and timelines, engineered to become a necessary martyr—a sacrifice required to keep reality stable. Together, they are a contradiction. Every time they hold hands, probability falters. Every time they separate, the universe stabilizes. As ancient machine gods awaken, angels descend to enforce order, and the Void turns its attention toward Earth, one truth becomes unavoidable: The universe does not fear war. It does not fear extinction. It fears a love that breaks meaning itself. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about choosing love in a reality that would rather collapse than allow it.

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

Author's World [Transmigration, Magic, Author in His Own Novel]

I was just your average author, who struck gold during the pandemic with the debut of my novel "Fever War". But I made a mistake! "I made a bet." Dropped into a withering dystopia. A reimagined version of Earth after COVID-19, where some patients began gaining supernatural powers and magic. The future of humanity had changed forever. Wars were fought not solely with military technology, but supernatural soldiers fighting against each other. And then they came, aliens from the other world. And they were far better at using magic than all of humanity. War against aliens was not as simple as it seemed. Governments, secret cults, & ancient families all want one thing—Control. But I will control my own fate, I will ▮▮▮▮ this place and ▮▮▮▮. How? Because I wrote this story—I am this World's Author. --- What to expect: - No OP protagonist. As it takes time and training to become strong together with a very unique power system. This is the author falling into his novel trope, but with a twist. - No Harem, set in a futuristic 22nd century Earth filled with advanced technology and magic. - The beginning is slow as I am still developing my writing style. I am power-system enthusiast (Not LITRPG, but hard and logical magic system) kind of an author. So, please bear with me. --- This story is also available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub and Webnovel.

The Intern He Hates

Luca West has everything: the fame, the fans, the flawless image Fisher Group built for him. What nobody knows is the price he's still paying for it — and he intends to keep it that way. Then his manager brings in an intern. Noelle Auclair isn't here for the glamour. She's spent years quietly obsessed with one question: how does a man like Luca West get made? Her thesis depends on getting close enough to find out. She just never planned on him deciding, the moment he sees her, that she's a spy sent to destroy him. He wants her gone. She needs to stay. And neither of them expected the two of them figuring out the truth about the other would feel like anything but war. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance set behind the glass walls of the entertainment industry's most ruthless empire — where every smile is a performance, and the one person who sees through his isn't supposed to be looking at all.

Fate is Calling (but my phone is on silent)

Evon Pérez is the prime example of an incompetent fool, a slacker who charmed his way through life and left others to clean up his messes.

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.
