Dragged into a world he knows nothing about, Eli suddenly finds himself trapped among dangerous men capable of killing without remorse. And the worst of them all notices him immediately.

Forced to live among monsters, Eli quickly realizes escaping the Vellores may be impossible. Especially when Lucian's attention begins turning into something darker. More obsessive. More dangerous.

Caught in the middle of it all, Eli must learn how to survive in a world built on violence without losing himself completely. Because in the Vellore mansion, nobody leaves unchanged.

In the Metkayina clan, life follows the rhythm of the sea. The days are bright with salt and laughter, the nights quiet beneath glowing waters and endless stars. For most of the clan, the future is simple. You grow, you learn the ways of the reef, and one day you take your place among your people. But some paths are chosen long before anyone is ready for them. Tsalwa'nï has known the ocean her whole life. She knows the hidden parts of the reef, the places where pearls hide in the sand and sea flowers drift between the corals. She knows the laughter of her twin brother Rotxo, the calm kindness of Tsireya, and the constant, familiar presence of Ao'nung, who has been beside her for as long as she can remember. Yet growing up means the tides begin to change. Old childhood friendships begin to feel different. Expectations grow heavier. And the quiet lessons of the Tsahìk carry more meaning than they once did. Then one day, strangers arrive at the reef. And with them, everything begins to shift. Because sometimes the ocean brings more than new waves to the shore. Sometime it brings the beginning of a story. 💌 Ao'nung x female OC rankings🎖️ #4 out of 15k in Avatar #17 out of 30.7k in water NEW! #2 out of 30.7k in water #2 out of 2.17k in Ao'nung

Nebula has died eighty-six times. As one of the Interworld Fate Administration's highest-ranking agents, she has survived apocalypses, ruled empires, commanded armies, mastered magic, built companies, and corrected more ruined destinies than she cares to count. Every mission ends the same way: her emotional attachments are severed, her knowledge remains, and her annoyingly adorable fox System, Silky, sends her somewhere new. World 87 should have been easy. Instead, Nebula awakens at five years old as **Nebula Vespera**-the spoiled, arrogant villainess of a romance novel whose powerful family will be slaughtered in twelve days. Her mission is absolute: maintain the villainess's domineering personality, escape her disastrous ending, and save the minor villains and side characters destroyed so the novel's beloved heroine, Lily, can have her perfect romance. There is only one problem. Lily is a transmigrator too. While Lily enters the world knowing that the Saintess, the princes, the Archmage, the Temple and every beautiful romance target are supposed to belong to her, Nebula has eighty-six lifetimes of knowledge, an SSS-ranked System, terrifying magical potential-and absolutely no intention of following the plot. If the original Nebula was destined to be the strongest woman in the room, then this Nebula will simply make that arrogance true. She'll save her family. Train the gravity magic her predecessor wasted. Turn science into rune magic. Drag doomed side characters out of Lily's story. Build the richest duchy on the continent. Collect a suspicious number of beautiful companions along the way. And perhaps accidentally start a magical industrial revolution. After all- **a villainess without the ability to back up her arrogance is simply embarrassing.**

From that moment on, the protagonists embark on an absurd adventure alongside a creature whose true nature remains a mystery. Yet, there is something strange about it.

THE THIRTEENTH VEIL Book I - The First Fracture In a world shaped by Astra, power decides more than who wins a battle. It decides who rules. Rhovan has never been a warrior, a noble, or anyone the powerful would have reason to notice. He is simply a young man from the forge districts of Khar-Veyr, living beneath the shadow of Veyra's War Houses and trying to build a life of his own. Then he notices something he was never supposed to notice. Something beneath the foundations of his city. Something that does not fit the histories he has been taught. As rival powers clash and Rhovan is drawn beyond the life he knows, he encounters realms where strength, divine authority, freedom, and change each offer a different answer to the same question: Who has the right to hold power? But the farther Rhovan travels, the harder it becomes to ignore the contradictions. Records disagree. Ancient structures appear where none should exist. Magic reacts in ways no one can explain. And Rhovan is beginning to realize that the most dangerous thing in their world may not be what everyone fears. It may be what everyone has forgotten. The Thirteenth Veil: The First Fracture is the beginning of an epic fantasy saga of rival realms, ancient mysteries, political conflict, friendship, magic, and a history that may not be what it seems.

Mrudula wasn't supposed to fall for Ashwin - not with her family already choosing her future, not with Aadhunik's name attached to it, not with a man like that used to getting what he wants. But guarded hearts don't stay guarded forever, and some feelings refuse the plans made for them. What Mrudula doesn't know is how much of the boy beside her is real, and how much is something else wearing his face. And by the time she starts asking the right questions, the answer may already be bigger than either of them. Some loves are simple. This one isn't.

Aki tries her best to ignore the fact that her heritage is a messy tangle of magical bargains and unpaid ancestral debts. Managing kitsune powers, delivering udon, and juggling a hopelessly human crush are more than enough teen drama for her. She's dead wrong. When her past comes knocking at Bunbuku Udon's door, Aki is thrust headfirst into a war where the line between the spirit realm and the human world isn't just thin... it's about to snap. Caught between ruthless kitsune, revenge-hungry werewolves, and a thousand-year-old debt, Aki is about to learn her ultimate life lesson: you don't run from destiny-you hit it full force with your fists closed.

And what begins as a collection of ordinary moments slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to name. Maybe some people aren't meant to be found all at once. Maybe they're meant to be experienced-one song at a time.
