Once a devoted monk, now exiled and nameless, Sanwu walks through the ruins of a world he helped break. Branded The Unbound, haunted by dreams that aren't his own, he alone hears the bells that no longer ring.
When a girl with a cursed spirit crosses his path, and a child who whispers to ghosts begins to follow, Sanwu finds himself at the heart of a growing storm. Relic hunters chase echoes of power. A death cult rises in the ashes. And the War God he once released threatens to rise again. To stop it, Sanwu must sacrifice more than his past. He must decide if redemption is worth becoming no one at all.
A quiet, spiritual fantasy about memory, guilt, and the weight of names. When the bells call again, will he answer? A Korean-inspired dark fantasy.

The Silent Sacrifice
Simone Lin gave up everything in her marriage to Zhao Lin, a younger, charismatic business mogul who promised her a life of love, security, and a family. But years into their marriage, the pressure of infertility, her critical mother-in-law, and the isolation of a life she never imagined leave Simone questioning everything she sacrificed. When buried secrets begin to surface, threatening the foundation of her marriage, Simone must confront the life she gave up and the truths she's been avoiding.

And the Forest Watched
The world rots under the weight of forgotten gods. The Devil no longer answers, and the Hollowlands - once under his shadowed protection - are left to starve and die. Hunters ride again in the king's name, witches burn in the villages that once worshipped their own, and the earth itself sickens with every prayer left unheard. Katerina, last of a fading bloodline, was born without the gift her kind once carried - or so she believes. When a stranger steps from the forest and the rot itself begins to stir, something buried in her wakes with it. Her touch calms the blight, her dreams echo with another's voice, and her blood may hold the one thing this dying world has long forgotten: the power to restore. But restoration is never mercy. In the Hollowlands, what heals also remembers, and what remembers always hungers.

Suga was never the kind to believe in fate. But then he met her-first at the ocean, then at Elysian Rest, and suddenly, his world wasn't the same anymore. She was warmth in a world that had long turned cold to him. But warmth was never meant to stay, was it? Sleora had always been slipping away, even before he knew her name. Like a fleeting dream, like the last note of a song lingering in the air. And yet, she left traces everywhere-on his hands, on his thoughts, in the lilies she loved so much. But what happens when time runs out? When seven minutes are over? This is not a love story. This is a story about love-the kind that lingers, the kind that shatters, the kind that stays even when everything else fades. •°. *࿐ Content Warnings: • themes of death, grief, and loss • terminal illness • emotional and psychological distress • past violence/gang-related themes • trauma and heavy angst Genre: • angst • romance • drama • psychological • supernatural (subtle elements) <readers discretion is advised>Complete
