"I didn't hire him to protect my body. I hired him because I couldn't survive another night alone." Azalea- I had everything money could offer. But the nights were still too long, and the silence too loud. They say grief fades. It doesn't. It lingers-quiet and cold. Haunted by my past and desperate not to be alone, I hired Alek: a cold, ex-military bodyguard with scars deeper than his silence. He doesn't speak much. He doesn't smile. But he listens. He stays. I didn't expect the man behind the silence to feel like home. And that was enough... until it wasn't. Until I started getting greedy. Alek- I've seen war. Death. Hell on Earth. But nothing wrecked me like the soft-eyed girl who looked at me like I wasn't broken. I told myself I'd keep it professional. She was just another job. But the truth? I never stood a chance. The more I watched her quietly carry the weight of the world- The more I wanted to carry it with her. Azalea is the kind of light you don't touch when you've lived too long in the dark. But every time she looked at me... it felt like maybe I didn't have to stay there. It's not the danger that gets to me. It's the way she carries it-quiet, alone, like I'm not standing right here. Like she already knows something I don't. [On Hiatus]

Carmen Davies- Recently transferring from UCLA, Carmen arrives with a smile that never fades and an energy that draws people in. Bright, bubbly, and effortlessly charming. Within days, she becomes a familiar face on campus-warm, talkative, always laughing. But behind her sunny confidence is a sharp, curious mind, and it doesn't take long for someone to catch her attention-not for how present they are, but for how removed and absent. Ivan Anderson- He has mastered the art of invisibility, he has drifted through his years at Columbia near silence. His world is quiet and controlled-by choice. With a past he'd rather keep buried deep down and emotions he struggles to contain, Ivan solitude and medication to keep himself in check. He's built walls high enough to keep everyone out, believing it's safer that way. No one's ever really tried to break them down-until now. When Carmen is assigned to Ivan for academic mentoring, their worlds quietly collide. She's drawn to his mystery; he's unnerved by her light. As Carmen begins to pull at the threads of Ivan's carefully guarded life, what starts as a simple partnership begins to unravel something deeper. But how do you reach someone who doesn't want to be found? And what if the one thing Carmen needs to save him... is the very thing he's spent years hiding from? Find out in "Almost Broken..."

DEMONS ARE STIRRING AWAKE AND GODS ARE FALTERING. But when the Fire God's decree of gathering a motley crew of four to eradicate the waking demons is forged, fate is thrown off course, and the balance of the realm relies on whether or not they reach their ultimate goal. A prodigious Prince of Prophesies destined for the throne of a doomed empire, an ill-omened Princess whose curse lingers above her head, a loyal Escort with a shady upbringing, and a devout Cleric of the Bleeding God. Casting aside their differences, they band together and walk down a path filled with uncertainty, danger, and misfortune. * * * (16+) Sporadic but quite frequent updates. No spice scenes. Trigger warnings: violence, gore, blood, body horror. #2 in Indonesia - 27/08/2025
