After the fall of the Bloom, the last three survivors- Tapi, Rani, and Mielikki- were taken in by the rising Regimen. In a world built on obedience and fear, promises are twisted into control, and protection becomes possession. Years later, Mielikki is now the Regimen's prized Ghost.
Rani thought she could save her in time.
Tapi thought control was the only way to keep her safe.
But the Bloom is long gone.
And the girl they swore to protect, along with themselves, may already be lost.

Ways of the Hysteria
A world where AI and technology are still a thing today... In a sleek, post-technological Earth ruled by logic, AI, and emotion suppression, magic is outlawed and forgotten or so they think. But something stirs. Ancient forces locked behind realm barriers begin to awaken. Chizuru, an ordinary girl, starts having hallucinations - of fire, foxes, and otherworldly visions. When she meets Kurdistan after a strange concert event, the truth begins to unravel: she's not just human. A Kitsune spirit - once a guardian between realms - lies dormant inside her. Kurdistan reveals that the realms (Heaven, Earth, Hell, and the Forgotten Void) are collapsing. Only a chosen pair - a celestial vessel and a demon hybrid - can save the balance. But awakening the Kitsune spirit will require Chizuru to risk losing herself... and Kurdistan to confront his father's legacy.

Demon Hunt
Auren longs for adventure and a break from her tedious life on Appolia. It's the start of summer, and she is looking forward to her yearly camping trip with her foster father, Kado. She believes these trips are for fun, but when they arrive on Luten Isle, Kado informs her that she is a shadow stalker, and she is in training. One morning, Auren decides to take her training into her own hands. She only means to practice seeing the veil to the shadow world, the world of the shadow people and the source of their power. Instead, she opens the veil releasing a demon, a guardian of the shadow world, into the physical world. With the deadly beast loose, she and Kado don't have long to hunt it down and return it to where it belongs, or many innocent people could die.Complete
In his light , she blooms
Anaya Sharma is brilliance wrapped in silence. At just twenty-seven, she's a celebrated surgeon-admired for her flawless skills and feared for her icy demeanor. To many, she is arrogant. Untouchable. But what they don't see is the price she pays to save lives-sometimes even at the cost of her own. Arjun Rathore is the sun to her storm. A charming, sharp-witted criminal and constitutional lawyer, Arjun's presence in a courtroom is unstoppable. No one dares challenge the man whose words bend justice and who never bows to power, especially political corruption. But even his influence falters when the system he fights turns its back on his greatest weakness-his sister. When Aarushi Rathore becomes the victim of a politically fueled accident, no hospital is willing to treat her. Doors close. Fear spreads. Hope begins to fade. Until Anaya steps forward. Knowing the consequences, she chooses courage over comfort. Defying the very system that protects her, she risks her career-and her life-to save Aarushi. Her selfless act plants the first seed of admiration in Arjun's heart. As Aarushi heals, so does something else. Arjun begins to break through Anaya's carefully built walls, slowly melting the ice around her heart. In late-night checkups, courtroom battles, and whispered confessions, their bond deepens. What starts as respect becomes warmth, and warmth becomes something neither of them expected-love. But in a world where power silences truth, their love is a rebellion. Together, they must face threats, political enemies, and the ghosts of their pasts. Because some love stories aren't written in peace. They're written in courage, fire, and quiet defiance. "She saves lives with a scalpel. He protects truth with words. And together-they dare to love in a world that punishes the brave."
Free at last
Rivan is assigned a new asset for protection- but he soon realizes this is something no training has prepared him for. The biggest challenge seems to be rescuing her from her. Also, English isn't my first language so the tense change a lot and I am grammatically not correct all the time. But this is something I wanted to write for a long time. Hope you all like it!! Please provide your feedback in comments so I can improve. Thanks.Complete
Afraid of the Darkness
❗️SOME DISCLAIMERS❗️: -This is not set in Borderlands, it's sort of a modern au ; with less population. -I will be changing aspects of certain characters. -This may be slightly dark/disturbing to some readers. There will be topics such as violence, murder, gore, sexuality, obsessive MMC, a SLIGHT age gap (7 years), self harm/suicidal thoughts, SLIGHT stalking behavior??, etc. If you cannot handle that, please do not read !! 21 Year old Yan Kexin believes she has her life figured out. She works as a psychologist; she had her life set out for her. She became so successful at such a young age due to her father being a doctor, before his tragic death when she was 19. Now she lives alone in her fathers home, and continues working hard to make him proud. - Don't expect this to be the best thing you've ever read, it's rushed to be honest.Complete
The Hollow Pact
When Ren Holloway, a fiercely independent and slightly chaotic high school junior, stumbles across a hidden ritual in the woods outside her sleepy town, she accidentally becomes bonded to a forgotten creature of the Veil - an ancient plane between life and death. Now cursed (or blessed?) with abilities no one should have - like glimpsing past traumas through touch, sensing when something isn't alive, and sometimes... speaking with things that shouldn't speak - Ren is caught in a centuries-old battle between supernatural forces that have been feeding off her town for generations. The pact is unstable. The creature wants freedom. And something else wants her dead before she figures out why the Veil is thinning - and who caused it. 🧍♀️ Main Character: Ren Holloway Personality: Hyper-observant, sarcastic under pressure, uses humor to deflect. Doesn't trust easily. Background: Lost her brother under mysterious circumstances years ago; she's been "the weird girl" ever since. No one believes her when she says the forest is wrong. Skills: Not magical, but freakishly good at puzzles, rituals, languages, and uncovering secrets. Flaws: Impulsive, emotionally repressed, tends to push people away to avoid being hurt. 🐚 The Entity: "The Hollow One" Ren calls it "Echo" (sarcastically at first, but it sticks). A shapeless, ancient being bound to her soul - once a guardian, now corrupted. Speaks in whispers only she can hear. Doesn't understand humanity but is curious about Ren. Not necessarily evil, but extremely morally gray. Feeds on fear and memory. Slowly begins to regain pieces of its identity through Ren's actions.Complete
