To the world, he was just another student-quiet, unassuming, and ordinary. But beneath the surface, he was anything but.
Born into a legacy of power hidden in the shadows, he navigated a life where money moved in silence and influence stretched beyond borders. While others worried about the future, he was already shaping his own-trading billions in cryptocurrency, forging alliances with unseen forces, and mastering the discipline of those who ruled from the dark.
But even power cannot shield a heart from loss. A love once within reach was torn away, leaving behind only a cold ambition. Three years later, he returns-richer, stronger, and unreadable. Yet, no amount of wealth can erase the past.
As enemies close in and fate tests him once more, he must decide: Will he reclaim what was lost, or will the empire he built consume him entirely?

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.
My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.
His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Lantern of The Forsaken
The world did not mourn the weak. Kael learned that truth as a child - when the sect recruiters tested him and saw nothing. No fire, no water, no strength. The elders shook their heads and called him hollow. His parents lowered their eyes in shame. The other children marched away to grand halls and immortal masters, while Kael was left in the dust, a failure before his first breath of life had even settled. When the raiders came years later, no one came back to defend the village. The chosen ones were gone. The strong were far away. The weak burned. Kael staggered through the ruins, smoke in his lungs, his eyes raw with grief. And then - he saw. It was not fire that caught his gaze, nor the gleam of blades. It was light within bodies. The glow of energies hidden in bones and veins, affinities no elder had noticed, paths that had been ignored. He saw it in the dead: the farmer who had strength like stone, the girl whose blood shimmered with healing water. All wasted, all discarded. That was the moment Kael awakened - not to power, but to truth. There were no trash people. Only a trash system. He swore then, knee-deep in ash and silence, that no one else would be abandoned. He would forge paths for the forsaken, kindle flames in the broken, and prove that the world's so-called chosen were nothing but blind fools. And when his own light rose - the Lantern Sovereign - the forsaken would rise with him.
