betrayal

No More Tomorrows for Elara

For centuries, the people of Nytheris have been trapped in a cycle of regression, immortal, yet never free. When King Orion of Nytheris dies without returning, his granddaughter Elara Nytheris Veyldan must navigate on how her grandfather achieved a full death without regressing back. Nine lives. Nine deaths. Nine betrayals by those she once loved, her father, her fiancé, her own family. But in her tenth life, everything changes. Her father, Duke Caelum Veyldan, dreams of her deaths, his guilt cracking open fragments of past lives. Her former fiancé, Crown Prince Adrienne Aurelthar, is haunted by visions of the girl he once ruined. Even the very curse begins to unravel, the silver sigil on Elara's wrist fading with every act of acceptance rather than resistance. When Kaelion Veyrath of Aetherion, a demi-god prince carrying the essence of the Moon's light, appears, the truth surfaces: "Nytheris' immortality was never a gift. It was a prison born from her grandfather's desperate pact with The Eclipser, the deity of oblivion. The endless cycles of pain are the price of that broken deal." To break it, Elara must do the unthinkable: stop seeking love, stop feeding the curse with longing, and let go of the pain that binds her soul. To break the curse, Elara must let go of the love, pain, and longing that have chained her for centuries-and forgive a world that never deserved her. Because freedom doesn't come from vengeance. It comes from release.

The Billionaire Unwanted Wife

For THREE long years, Amari Grenor set aside her dreams and talents to become the devoted wife of Sebastian Clavel. Once a rising star in the world of music and performance, Amari walked away from her passion and ambition, believing that love and family were worth the sacrifice. She gave her all—her time, her heart, her very identity—to support Sebastian’s career and their marriage, thinking that in return, she was building a life of shared dreams and mutual devotion. But everything Amari thought she knew began to unravel the moment Sebastian’s first love—awoke from a coma. Her sudden return shook the foundation of Amari’s carefully built world. What Amari believed was a secure and loving marriage turned out to be a fragile illusion, easily shattered by a ghost from Sebastian’s past. The moment his former love reentered the picture, Sebastian’s demeanor changed. The affection, the attention, the quiet respect he once gave Amari faded almost overnight. Soon after, he handed her divorce papers, along with the cold assumption that all she ever wanted from him were his properties, his money, and his name. Stunned and heartbroken, Amari could barely comprehend how everything had changed so quickly. The betrayal pierced deeper than she imagined possible—not only had she lost the man she loved, but she also lost the life she had spent years building. And yet, even as the pain overwhelmed her, Amari knew she had a choice to make: she could either let this heartbreak destroy her or she could find a way to rise above it. Instead of begging, pleading, or drowning in self-pity, Amari chose freedom. With a quiet strength, she signed the divorce papers, rejecting any claims to Sebastian’s wealth or properties. She walked away with nothing but her dignity and a burning determination to reclaim her life. It was time to remember who she was before she became a wife—before she allowed love to eclipse her own identity. She made a promise to herself: she would rise again, stronger and wiser, and this time she would live for herself. As Amari begins her journey of healing and rediscovery, she dives back into the world she once left behind—the world of music, art, and creative expression. With the support of old friends and unexpected allies, she finds new opportunities, rediscovers her voice, and slowly rebuilds the confidence that had been buried beneath years of self-sacrifice. In the process, she learns that pain can be a catalyst for transformation, and that the end of a relationship doesn’t mean the end of her worth. Amari discovers that she doesn’t need to be someone’s wife to matter, to thrive, or to dream. Her happiness, she realizes, was never meant to be dependent on another person’s love—it was always hers to create. What began as heartbreak becomes a journey of empowerment. Amari Sandoval, once defined by her role as a wife, now carves out a new identity for herself—one not built on someone else’s dreams, but on her own passion, strength, and self-respect. And in the quiet moments of her newfound freedom, she learns that sometimes, losing everything is exactly what you need to find yourself.

Truth and Lies Intertwined

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly. But someone caught her and brought her favorite cake in front of her. “Don’t you want to taste it~?” Arya blushed. “You’re too foul!” ... Note: it's not harem nor reverse harem.

Division of Shadows

**The balance between worlds is breaking.** For three thousand years, the Trias of Equilibrium have kept humans and shadows apart. An absolute law. Unbreakable. Eternal. Then the Ultran arrived. Creatures that aren't human. Aren't shadows. Shouldn't *exist*. And they want the Trias—no matter how many cities they have to destroy to get them. Sunamy was just a watcher. Twenty-two years old, alone, obsessed with observing the battles between heroes and Ultran from afar. He never wanted to be part of the war. **Until the night everything changed.** One reckless decision. One moment that should have killed him. One choice that revealed a truth he never knew existed. Now he stands accused before the Tribunal of Heroes. Chains bind his wrists. Hundreds of voices scream a word he doesn't understand: **"Monster."** They show him evidence. They speak of horrors. They call for his execution. But Sunamy doesn't remember. He can't remember. All he knows is that something inside him is *hungry*. Something that wakes when he sleeps. Something that terrifies even those who fight monsters for a living. The heroes want him dead. The Ultran want him found. And the silver-haired woman who saved him—and captured him—knows secrets that could shatter everything. **What lives inside Sunamy?** **Why do the Ultran really want the Trias?** **And what happens when the observer becomes the most dangerous piece on the board?** The war is just beginning. The balance has already broken. And the biggest threat to humanity might be the boy who never knew what he was. **Until now.**
