She took on the responsibility of caring for herself and her little brother, Edward, after their aunt, Rita, seized all their parents’ properties. Left with no other choice, Cali began searching for a job. Sadly, for years, most employers were more interested in exploiting her than helping her survive.

Imagine a world ruled by Ascendents—where power is determined by Resonance, Flux, and access to resources that accelerate ascension. Now imagine that boy has none of it. Varik Verilion possesses no power worth acknowledging. What he has instead is far more dangerous: the ability to understand people, dismantle belief systems, and turn human weakness into leverage. In a world obsessed with power and flux ascension, he introduces something known but alien—manipulation, deception, and control of masses. Varik does not believe in morality. He does not believe in loyalty. He does not believe in love. Parents, lovers, clan, sects, even gods—everything is a system to be exploited. If killing his own parents secures authority, he will do it. If destroying a lover advances his position, he will not hesitate. If creating a consumer economy destabilizes a flux-based world and places power in his hands, he will engineer it piece by piece. While others seek power through training and faith, Varik builds it through cunning, prediction, and psychological warfare. His greatest weapon is not strength—it is deception. His closest companion is not a sword or technique—but the certainty that everyone can be used. Manipulating the Gods is a dark ascent fantasy about a protagonist who does not rise by becoming stronger, but by making everyone else weaker—until even gods are nothing more than variables waiting to be controlled. --- Rather than treating fantasy as aesthetic escapism, this world is constructed as a coherent model — one governed by internal logic, biological constraints, physical trade-offs, and evolutionary pressure. Every culture, power structure, and ability exists because it had to, not because it looked cool. At the foundation of this world lies a single axiom: Flux. Flux is not magic in the ornamental sense. It is an energy principle — a universal driver of transformation, adaptation, decay, and emergence. Matter, biology, cognition, and civilization all evolve in response to Flux gradients, just as real organisms evolve under environmental stress and resource scarcity. This is book is one of a kind.

In the boundless world of Veldora, where magic decides status and power, only the gifted are allowed to stand at the top. Leon knows this better than anyone. Once an ordinary man, Leon awakens in a world he recognizes all too well. A world taken straight from the game he cleared to perfection. But fate plays a cruel joke. He is not reborn as the overpowered prince blessed by the gods, nor as a destined hero. He is Leon Arcknight, the fourth son of a duke. A character with no elemental affinities. A name never meant to matter. At World Divine Academy, where princes, prodigies, and monsters in human form gather, weakness is unforgivable. Every smile hides ambition. Every romance masks danger. And the story Leon remembers is far more brutal than it looks. Just when survival seems impossible, Leon awakens a set of classes unseen in Veldora’s history. Classes that do not cast spells or swing swords, but instead build, inscribe, and create. In a world ruled by magic, Leon chooses another path. Steel will challenge sorcery. Runes will replace blessings. And something never before seen in this medieval world is about to awaken. The game’s story is already moving. And this time… the one who was never meant to matter is preparing to rewrite it.

The Sovereign’s Treasure The world calls him a devil. He calls him his everything. Mark Mathew is the Sovereign—a man whose name is whispered in shadows and whose power is a steel-tempered grip over the city’s heart. To the underworld, he is the "Grave-Maker," a ruthless master who doesn't just punish his enemies; he erases them. He is a giant among men, cold and untouchable... until he looks at Win. Win is the light the Sovereign never thought he deserved—pure, innocent, and fragile as a newborn lamb. To the rest of the world, Win is a mystery; to Mark, he is the only person capable of bringing a devil to his knees. But shadows are lengthening. Justin, a man fueled by a delusional, white-knuckled obsession, is determined to "save" Win from the Sovereign’s clutches. Convinced that Win is a captive rather than a lover, Justin prepares to expose the horrific blood on Mark’s hands, oblivious to the fact that he is walking straight into the jaws of a predator. As the lines between protection and possession blur, Win must navigate the terrifying reality of Mark’s power. Can a love born in the darkness survive the truth of who the Master really is? Or will the Sovereign’s treasure be shattered by the very world built to protect him?

“Love & Cassettes” is a nostalgic journey back to the 90s—a time of handwritten notes, mixtapes, and first love that blooms quietly but fiercely. Sakshi Verma is a disciplined, studious girl who believes life is about rules, schedules, and keeping her heart safe. Samar Kapoor is her complete opposite: mischievous, carefree, and charming in a way that makes every room light up. When Samar joins Greenwood High, their worlds collide in the most unexpected ways—glances that linger, playful banter, and small acts of courage that speak louder than words. From shared speeches during school inspections to tutoring sessions that spark laughter, to elections, misunderstandings, and a paper leak scandal, their journey is full of trials, teasing, and tender moments. Each letter exchanged, each cassette shared, and every stolen glance builds a slow, heartfelt romance—a love that teaches them trust, patience, and the joy of growing together. In a world without instant messages, their story reminds us that love is in the little things, the moments between the chaos, and the courage to stand by each other—even when the world doubts.

He drew a shuddering breath, and when he turned to face her, his composure was a mask hastily reassembled, but his eyes still blazed with inner turmoil. “Isn’t this wonderful, my darling?” he asked, his voice a bitter parody of his usual tone. “My arrogance, my selfishness—believing I could be your protector, when my very nature is the greatest danger to you.” The hatred in his voice turned inward, a lash against his own soul. “Selfishly, I taint you. You, who are so pure. So wondrous.” He took a step back, as if the space could shield her. “Look at me. This is the monster I never wanted you to see. You fear it. It disgusts you.” “No.” The word was firm, a rock against his tide of self-loathing. She shook her head vigorously, and then, with careful, deliberate steps, she began to close the distance he had created. “I love you,” she said, each syllable weighted with certainty. “I love you with all my being.” She was before him now. Her hands, soft and warm, rose to cradle his face, forcing his tormented gaze to meet her unwavering one. “Show me the worst part of you,” she whispered, her thumb stroking his cheek. “Tell me every terrible thing you have ever done, and let me love you regardless. My heart is yours. My weak, human heart.” For Elowyn Malling, a quiet, bookish village girl, the ball is an absurd distraction from her chores and her beloved novels. But when her ambitious sisters drag her to the palace, a moment of curiosity in a moonlit garden leads to a fatal mistake. Now, caught in a web of terrifying luxury and dark obsession, Elowyn must navigate a game she doesn’t understand.

Nao once thought that the person he feared losing most… was the one he didn't love in the first place. Engagement, past wounds, and a slowly growing sense of security—all mixed together. Just as Nao was about to be crushed by the shadow of a cruel ex, one person stood before him without hesitation. Ayano. With bloody hands and a cold gaze, she said one sentence that changed everything: “I'm just picking up my fiancée.” From that day on, the boundaries between duty and love began to crumble. Jealousy, courage, trauma, and comfort collided. Nao began to realize—he had always chosen Ayano, even before his heart understood why. But love isn't about sweet words. Love is a choice. And Ayano chose Nao… even though it meant challenging the past, the world, and even herself. “I don't want to get engaged.” “I want to marry you.” This isn't a sweet high school love story. This is a story of two wounded souls finding a home in each other—and choosing to stay together, time and time again.

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.
