In the desolate world of Veridia, survival is a relentless battle. The powerful Citadel, a fortress that rules over the scattered city-states, demands the best and brightest youths to compete in the Trials of Echoes-a brutal series of challenges designed to select the strongest warriors to defend against the monstrous Reavers that plague the land. Refusing to compete means certain death on the Frontlines, where survival is a grim and distant hope.

Evan Crest, a 16-year-old from the scholarly city-state of Lyria, enters the Citadel Academy with one goal: to win the Trials and secure a future for his family, who have been living in poverty since his father's death. But the Trials are more dangerous than he ever imagined, and his greatest obstacle is Daelis Fenn-a ruthless 17-year-old prodigy from the warrior city-state of Draven, whose tragic past fuels his relentless pursuit of victory.

As the Trials progress, Evan and Daelis's rivalry grows fiercer, each encounter testing their physical and mental limits. But when a deadly secret about the Citadel is uncovered, they are forced to put aside their differences and confront a truth that could shake the foundations of Veridia.

In a world where love is a luxury and trust is a dangerous gamble, Evan and Daelis must navigate treacherous alliances, deadly enemies, and their own growing feelings for each other. Together, they must decide whether to fight for their survival or for a future they never dared to dream of.

Right Back After This by ljzephyr

Riz is one of the most famous men in the universe- a member of the idol group Saccharine, with billions of fans across hundreds of planets watching his every move with bated breath, a twenty-four-seven livestream that never leaves Riz with a second alone. That makes it pretty difficult to hide the fact that he's lying to all of them- and that the person he's pretending to be is far more complicated, far more traumatised, and far less innocent than they've been lead to believe. It's only through getting caught breaking the rules by just the right person that Riz unlocks a secret about this life- that there are blind spots. It's a taste of freedom he needs, as well as a chance to find out who everyone else around him really is, when the cameras are pointed away. Ares, his manager, told him the secrets of finding the silence- but he might want more from Riz than Riz is able to give. Amello, his best friend and fellow member of Saccharine, acts like a perfect dream in front of the camera- but who would he be if no one was watching? Kiel, a member of a rival group Atlantis, is supposed to hate Riz with all his heart- but something in his eyes makes Riz suspect there's more going on beneath the surface. And his bodyguard, Colian, seems to share something with him that it's impossible to speak about- and how much about Riz's past does he actually know? It's not just Riz's wants and needs he's hiding from the world- it's everything about his past, too. The blackmail that he's a pawn in and his doomed home planet are secrets from the universe at large- and if he gets caught, his entire home planet falls with him. Riz can't live a lie forever. Taking someone else behind closed doors and shutting out the rest of the universe might be the only way he survives- but what if the consequences are worse than he imagined?

Five years later, he's a shell of his old self, going through the motions and just trying to survive.

Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 1) [MxM] by Hopestrife

[BOOK 1] REBOOTED COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms. Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies. Can they stop the corruption and deceit spread by the gods? ***This novel will have mature language and violence.*** An earlier version of this novel was released a couple of years ago; however, I have rebooted it to this current version. This is an MxM novel but is considered a slow burn.

Lord of the Night by spelunkadunk

In a world ruled by Demons, a noble Guardian interrogates a manipulative and far too attractive Demon prince. The Guardian must battle his own disobedient heart to uncover the palace's schemes and save what's left of humanity. Season 1 of Lord of the Night *** A noble Guardian, Remgar, is assigned to interrogate a captive Demon prince. Unfortunately, his captive is harder to hate than Remgar had hoped--and far too attractive. To save the dwindling human race from the dominion of Demons, Remgar must navigate a minefield of secret plots and disobedient hearts. Years ago, the Demons defeated the Guardians and took over the world. Now Remgar, a noble Guardian who has lost everything, serves for the only remaining opposition rebuilding underground. When the Guardians capture the High Demon Prince, they honor Remgar's years of devotion and lost family by granting him the first opportunity to break the demon. He hates the High Demon Prince with every fiber of his being and is prepared to do whatever it takes to overthrow the dominion of demons. But their captive--the one Remgar is charged to torture and kill--is not the High Demon Prince. They have captured the younger brother, Isalio. And Remgar is not prepared for Isalio.

Dive into Temptation [ManxBoy] by GrimJulius

*COMPLETED* "Do I mean nothing to you?!" He spat out the words, his voice laced with fury. "What are you talking about?"

My resistance began to weaken, the pleasure of his lips on mine dissolving my determination. Sensing my surrender, his grip eased as I reciprocated the kiss.
