VAREN: THE REBIRTH OF A NEW WORLD

ChickenLittle01
The day of judgment was the day that changed everything. Chained before a silent square, Varen—an orphaned revolutionary born on the margins of the world—is forced to face not only his destiny, but the truths that sustain the new order. What begins as public punishment soon becomes an unbridgeable rift. Decades ago, the Velkari descended upon Earth, proclaiming progress. A superior race, bearers of technology capable of altering space itself, they presented themselves as salvation for a humanity exhausted by war, hunger, and environmental collapse. Some humans accepted them as the next step in evolution. Others saw them as the beginning of extinction. The world was split in two. From the union between the two races, the Nexums were born: human-Velkari hybrids, bearers of extraordinary abilities and a potential that even the Velkari themselves learned to fear. While the system promised balance, slavery, marginalization, and forced silence accumulated in the shadows. Varen grew up far from the bright cities, among landfills and ruins, believing that his struggle was only for survival. But together with his allies—humans, Nexums, and dissidents—he will discover that the system is not failing: it was designed that way from the beginning. As the past comes to light and decisions become irreversible, Varen must choose between adapting to a broken world... or becoming the threat that forces it to change.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
