Nonromantic Stories

Nana is a lonely necromancer who spent twenty years living in a world of magic. During a summoning experiment, an accident sends her to another world - one where magic is scarce, strange creatures roam, and survival is far from easy. So Nana does what she does best. She starts summoning spirits. Her first summon is a sunny boy with boundless energy, cheering her on and praising her like she's the most incredible mage alive. The second is a gentle woman with the calm warmth of spring, accompanied by a dangerous-looking man who pretends not to care but never strays far from her side. The third is a long-haired man with narrow eyes and quiet superiority, who casually calls people "monkeys" and spends absurd amounts of money on expensive perfume. Somehow, the lonely necromancer ends up with a chaotic but strangely warm household. Everything would be perfectly heartwarming... if the strongest white-haired sorcerer in this world would stop trying to steal her companions.

Patrick Jane was once a charming fraud, a man who made a living pretending to read minds. Now he works as a consultant for the CBI - not because he chose redemption, but because tragedy forced it upon him. The moment he mocked the infamous serial killer Red John on live television, his life shattered. Red John answered the insult by murdering Patrick's wife and young daughter, leaving him with nothing but grief sharp enough to carve him hollow. Since that day, Patrick has lived every emotion a human body can hold - fear, rage, despair, numbness - all circling around one single purpose: finding Red John and ending the monster who destroyed his family. Grace Sullivan is only nineteen, yet she carries a lifetime of scars. Her childhood was a battlefield, her father the enemy who found pleasure in breaking both her and her mother. She tried to protect them, but survival was the only thing she ever managed. One night, after returning home from work, Grace walked into the same familiar nightmare - her parents fighting, her father drunk and violent. But this time, the chaos tipped into something irreversible. John Sullivan snapped, pulled the trigger, and killed Brooke Sullivan in cold blood. The gunshot echoed through the neighborhood, through the trees, through Grace's life. By the time she reached her mother, it was already too late. The case landed on the desk of the CBI. And suddenly Grace, alone and hopeless, crossed paths with Patrick Jane - a man who understood loss in a way few ever could. He could read her pain as easily as he read people's lies. Two broken souls, both robbed of the people they loved, both burning with the same quiet fury toward the ones who took everything from them. Their stories collide in a hunt for justice, revenge, and maybe - if fate allows - a reason to keep living.

The Electromagnetic Odyssey follows Deon, a brilliant but obsessive theoretical physicist who begins his experiment to harness energy from another universe. Then he tears open the fabric of reality, and it pulls him in. He awakens at the Chromatic Plateau, a breathtaking dimension with a magenta sky and resonating crystals, where his ability to manipulate electromagnetism is triggered. Erika, a sharp-witted field researcher studying the plateau's anomalies, rescues him and guides Deon to the city of Luminastrade. But Deon loses her to the owls in a forgotten tunnel and plunges into a quest spanning dying worlds and collapsing timelines. He finds her again in variations: a survivor of a dying world and a memory waiting where time cannot pass. With each loss, he carves another name into the notebook he carries everywhere, a ledger of everyone he could not save. To save Erika, Deon must face the Seeker Leader in a battle as much philosophical as physical. Korrin's argument is seductive: erase all suffering by erasing the conditions that made it possible. Deon's rebuttal is harder. Surviving is not winning, but it is what makes living feel real. Deon takes the last Galvanocharm. He has all five. The ritual begins. But Deon does not try to stop it. He cannot. Instead, he witnesses it.
