Ember & Shadow

In the divided nation of Solarius, the world exists in two eternal halves. The Day-Realm burns with golden light, where disciplined Ember-Knights wield the magic of flame and logic. The Night-Realm sleeps in silver shadow, where passionate Shadow-Weavers command the darkness of emotion and instinct. For centuries, they have been taught one truth: the other side is dangerous, corrupt, and must never be trusted. Lyra Valtoris is the perfect Ember-Knight—duty-bound, controlled, and hiding the grief of her brother's death behind a wall of discipline. She dreams of bringing the "light of order" to the savage darkness. Dorian Ashford is the reckless youngest son of a noble Shadow house—charming, emotional, and carrying the weight of a mother's death his father will never forgive. He believes the Day-Realm's cold rigidity is a prison for the soul. They are sworn enemies who have never met—until now. A fanatical faction called The Eclipsed steals the Sundering Crystal, the ancient artifact that maintains the balance between day and night. If activated, it will trigger an eternal eclipse, plunging all of Solarius into powerless twilight, making everyone vulnerable to conquest. Both realms send their best to retrieve it. Lyra and Dorian reach the Crystal at the same moment in the ruins of the Twilight Pass. When their hands touch—golden flame meeting silver shadow—the Crystal does not break. It bonds them. A swirling brand of light and dark sears into their palms, binding them together. They cannot separate by more than a mile without excruciating pain. Enemies. Strangers. Now unwilling partners. Forced to travel together through the treacherous Pass, they battle The Eclipsed, survive monsters born of the borderlands, and slowly peel back each other's armor. Lyra learns Dorian's recklessness is a mask for deep pain. Dorian learns Lyra's coldness is a shield for unbearable loss. What begins as hatred becomes grudging respect. Respect becomes trust. Trust becomes something neither expected—love. But The Eclipsed capture them, revealing their plan: to use Lyra and Dorian's unique bond—the first successful fusion of Ember and Shadow in history—to power the Crystal and destroy both realms. To escape, they must combine their powers fully for the first time, creating something new: Twilight Flame, a magic of perfect balance. In the final confrontation, the Crystal begins to crack. The only way to stop the eternal eclipse is to channel its unstable energy directly—a sacrifice that will likely kill them both. They face death together, pouring everything into the Crystal—their powers, their fears, their hopes, their love. And for the first time in centuries, Ember and Shadow harmonize.

The Cold-Hearted Royal Guard

In her past life, Elmira was the ultimate shield—a top-tier bodyguard who never let her guard down. But even the strongest shield can be broken from behind. A single act of betrayal ended her career—and her life. Or so she thought. Opening her eyes in a filthy slum of a medieval world, she finds herself trapped in the frail body of a young girl named Maria. No weapons, no backup, and no strength. Just a gnawing hunger and a world that preys on the weak. But they are wrong about her. She is not just a helpless child. Deep inside... lies the mind of a veteran operative armed with modern knowledge. A sleeping beast waiting for the right moment to wake up. When danger inevitably comes knocking, the world will learn a terrifying lesson: You can strip a soldier of her armor, but you can never take away her lethality. From the dregs of the slums to the halls of the Royal Academy, this is the story of a girl who swore never to trust again—yet finds herself wielding her sword to protect once more. What to expect: Smart & Ruthless Female Lead: A protagonist who thinks before she acts and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Brains over Brawn: The MC has low mana capacity. She wins through strategy, modern martial arts (Judo/CQC), and physics—not by overpowering enemies. Psychological Depth: A realistic portrayal of trauma and trust issues. No instant "power of friendship." Magic Academy Arc: School life, but with high stakes, political schemes, and class discrimination. Weak-to-Strong: A steady progression where the MC earns her power through hard work and cleverness. Modern Knowledge: Using science to exploit magic systems. Cinematic Style: immersive descriptions. Perfect for readers who enjoyed: The tactical genius of "The World's Finest Assassin," the emotional depth of "Violet Evergarden,", the darkness of "Made In Abyss" and in the underdog triumphs of "The Irregular at Magic High School." If you are looking for a protagonist who uses science to defy magic and cold logic to survive betrayal, welcome to Maria’s world.

Claimed by the vampire prince

Content Warning: Contains mature themes that may be unsuitable for underaged readers. Excerpt Ragnar finally looked up. His eyes roamed her face, then dropped lower and lingered just a second too long. “Careful, princess. 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. Something hummed between them, something neither of them dared name. Ragnar’s gaze dropped to her mouth. “Do you want me to find out?” She smiled, slow and wicked. “Make it worth the risk.” **** She was forced to marry the man who led the attack on her people.

Konoha Is My Playground

Kim is nobody special — and that's exactly the problem. An eleven-year-old Academy student in Konoha with a dead father, a medic mother pulling double shifts, two sisters who need raising, and a scar that reminds him the world doesn't wait for you to be ready. When fragmented dreams of another world reveal that this one is heading toward war, gods, and extinction-level events, Kim does what any reasonable person would do: he looks for a loophole. He finds one. The Synchronization Jutsu — a self-developed technique that lets him passively resonate with the chakra of those around him — turns proximity into power. Classmates become unwitting tutors. Bloodline traits leave traces in his system. Every hour spent near stronger ninja pushes him further, faster, in ways the world's rigid clan hierarchies were never designed to allow. But growth attracts attention. The Academy's new top student catches the eye of Root, Danzo's shadow organization, and Kim finds himself walking a razor's edge — training under ANBU operatives by afternoon, teaching his sisters kata by evening, and pretending to be ordinary in between. Armed with pragmatism, a talent for teaching, an embarrassing crush on a weapons shopkeeper, and a moral compass that bends but refuses to break, Kim navigates a village that smiles in the sunlight and schemes in the dark. The clock is ticking. The war is coming. And an unremarkable boy with a remarkable secret is building something no one sees coming — not from the top down, but from the middle out. He's not a genius. He's not a prodigy. He's just paying very close attention.
