Regressing back in time after accepting i’m gay

Liam graduated from Westfield College two years ago, but the regrets never stopped haunting him. The fight he should have won. The reputation he never built. The emotions he locked away. The boy he refused to acknowledge. When a mysterious god offers him a second chance, Liam wakes up back in Class 4—eighteen years old again, lying in the same bunk bed at Ashford Hostel where it all began. Armed with years of experience and the confidence he lacked before, Liam is determined to rewrite his story. No more hesitation. No more living passively. No more running from who he truly is. But changing the past isn’t just about making different choices. It’s about confronting the moments that shaped him—the fight with Franklyn that defined his reputation, the friendships he took for granted, and most importantly, Oliver Mason, the platinum-haired junior who will one day mean everything to him. In the original timeline, Mason became Liam’s school son when he reached Class 1. Their bond grew deeper than any mentorship should, and Mason fell in love. But Liam, terrified of his own feelings, locked his heart away and focused only on their roles as school father and son. It was a regret that haunted him long after graduation. Now, Liam has asked the god for one impossible gift: for Mason to slowly regain memories of their future together. But Mason is still Class 0, and those memories won’t fully return for six months to a year. Until then, Liam must navigate the delicate balance of protecting Mason from afar, building his reputation for Class 5, and learning to accept the truth he spent his first life denying. This is a story about second chances, self-discovery, and finding the courage to live authentically. In a world of hostel hierarchies, football matches, brutal roasting sessions, and late-night gisting, Liam will learn that the hardest fight isn’t against others—it’s against yourself. A slow-burn BL novel set in a boarding school, told through internal monologue, slice-of-life moments, and the bittersweet journey of a boy learning to embrace who he’s always been.

Keep taunting me like that and I’ll start thinking you like our nightly sparring.” “And if I did?” Her voice was soft now. Almost playful. “Would you stop pretending that you don't like it when I challenge you?” He rose from his seat slowly until he stood toe to toe with her. “Tell me something, Circe.” She tilted her chin up. “What?” “If I kissed you right now… Would you slap me, stab me, or kiss me back?” Her breath hitched. “That depends.” “On?” “How good the kiss is.” A pause.

The Alpha’s Unclaimed Mate

Her blood was liquid gold. The moment it hit the basin, the scent slammed into Prince Dexmon like a charging bull.  A primal urge to mate with her followed, obliterating any concern for timing, place, or consequence.  His heart thundered, caught somewhere between hunger and outright panic. His wolf surged.  Aegon: Mate her. Mate her again. Mark her. In that order.  Dexmon: Absolutely the fuck not.  It took every ounce of control he possessed to hold back.  Meanwhile, she stood there, calm, oblivious to him coming apart at the seams.  The Moon Goddess, it seemed, truly had a twisted sense of humor.   ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ [Synopsis] Mate.

Addicted To Chris

Irene has never had anyone. No family. No safety net. No one to call when things fall apart, maybe only her best friend June. Just a café job she hates, bills she can barely keep up with and a life she's been holding together alone for as long as she can remember. She wasn't looking for anyone. Then he walked in. Tall. Quiet. The kind of presence that didn't ask for attention but took it anyway. He ordered black coffee, left a twenty pound tip and said her name like it already meant something. She told herself he was just a customer. She almost believed it. Chris was everything she didn't know she needed. Patient. Consistent. The first person who ever made her feel like she didn't have to carry everything alone. And before she knew it Irene wasn't just falling for him-- she was addicted. To his voice. His presence. The way he showed up every single time without being asked. For the first time in her life she let someone in. That was her first mistake. Because the thing about addiction is that it doesn't warn you before it destroys you. Chris had a life she knew nothing about. A world beyond Belfast cafés and late night phone calls and candlelit dinners. A world with temptations she never saw coming. And when the truth finally surfaces Irene is left with nothing but the ruins of the first real thing she ever allowed herself to have. She walks away. Because she has to. Because staying would break what little is left of her. But walking away from Chris is not the same as being free of him. His memory lives in everything. Every song. Every late night. Every cup of coffee she can't drink without thinking of how it all started. She tries to move on. She tries to be okay. And she almost convinces herself that she is. Then he comes back. Changed. Broken. Fighting for her in ways he never did when he had her. Saying everything she needed to hear a year too late. And Irene is faced with the question she's been running from since the day she walked away- Can you forgive someone who shattered the first trust you ever gave away? Or is some damage too deep to come back from? Addicted to Chris is a story about love and betrayal. About the walls we build and the people brave enough to climb them. About learning the difference between someone who wants you and someone who truly chooses you. And about what happens when the one person you tried hardest to forget- refuses to let you go. Will curiosity or caution win? And just how dangerous can obsession get?

Beast Taming: Reincarnated With The Ultimate Bond System!

Aiden Nightshade wakes up in a dark, unfamiliar forest with no memories of who he is or how he got there. The air is thick with danger, and monstrous creatures lurk in the shadows, watching him. Before he can even move, a glowing panel appears in front of him. [Welcome to the Ultimate Bond System.] A cold, synthetic female voice echoes in his mind. It tells him to tame the beasts, bond with them, and grow stronger together. But this system isn’t normal. When Aiden forms a bond with a beast, it doesn’t just become his companion—it transforms into a powerful humanoid woman, one who still has the instincts and memories of the creature she once was. They aren’t just allies. They feel his pain, share his power, and their devotion to him is absolute. As Aiden explores this strange world, he quickly realizes something—no one else can do what he does. Other tamers can control beasts, but they can’t make them evolve like he can. They do have a system but nothing like his. With his growing army of beast-women by his side, Aiden will carve his own path, breaking the rules of this world. And when he discovers that the deepest bonds unlock unimaginable strength, he understands one thing—this isn’t just about surviving. It’s about rising above everything. It’s about domination. In a world ruled by beasts, only one man will stand at the top. --- Release schedule: 12:00 PM IST --- Support this story by adding it to your collection, giving Power Stones, and Golden Tickets!
