The Weight of Ashes is a heart-wrenching, cinematic novel (~80,000 words) set in a fictional Japanese city and its nearby slum. Aiko Tanaka, a resilient 16-year-old from the slum, chases education and finds love with Haruto Yamada, a kind-hearted classmate. Their tender romance-marked by sakura trees, a carved bookmark, and a matsuri dance-is shattered by a misunderstanding orchestrated by jealous classmate Sakura Mori, who tricks Aiko into believing Haruto betrayed her. Devastated, Aiko spirals into isolation, falling prey to Kaito Nakamura, a predatory drug dealer who lures her with false affection, drugs her, and hands her to traffickers. Haruto, consumed by guilt, discovers Aiko's drugged state, kills Kaito in a brutal rage, and chases the trafficking truck to a mountain road near the slum. In a forest clearing, he attempts to rescue Aiko, but she's assaulted and dies, her final words-I loved you-breaking him. Haruto's berserk vengeance leaves the traffickers dead, but he's arrested and sent to juvenile detention, where he reflects on love's fragility and systemic cruelty. The novel, told in a continuous narrative with Aiko's perspective until her trafficking and Haruto's thereafter, uses abstract language for sensitive acts, weaving Japanese cultural elements (sakura, haikus, shrines) into a tragic tale of love, betrayal, and loss, urging readers to cherish love and fight exploitation.

Crimson Petals In The Storm
In the dying days of the Kingdom of Hoshinawa, gentle Princess Aiko lives a life of silk and silence - untouched by war, unaware of how swiftly her world will burn. When her family home is ambushed and everything she knows is lost, fate delivers her into the arms of a lone samurai - a man of few words, haunted eyes, and a blade that has tasted too much blood. He was meant to be her enemy. She was never meant to survive. Bound by honor, torn by destiny, their paths intertwine in a tale of war, loyalty, and forbidden love - where every falling cherry blossom hides a secret, and every heartbeat risks betrayal. As kingdoms crumble and storms rise, can love bloom amid the ashes... or will duty destroy them both? ⸻ Copyright © Cuteface007 2025. All rights reserved.

THOSE WHO CAN SEE
Shibuya High School - a prestigious institution famed for its top-tier students, immaculate reputation, and an admission process so selective that getting in feels like winning the lottery. But behind the polished walls and perfect smiles lies a darkness no one dares to speak of. Kei Sanji, a 17-year-old transfer student, arrives mid-year-not because of academic achievement, but because his previous school expelled him for repeated discipline issues. Intelligent yet reckless, Kei has no intention of settling down. His plan is simple: cause enough trouble to get kicked out again. But the moment he steps onto campus, he feels it-something's wrong. The air is heavy. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Black, distorted figures drift silently among the students... and no one seems to notice. No one except him. As weeks pass, whispers spread. Students are dying-some in tragic suicides, others in brutal, unexplained murders. Kei begins to suspect the "figures" are connected. Worse, they seem to be feeding on something... or someone. Then, Kei meets a small group of students who can see them too. Together, they start uncovering the school's buried truth-a truth soaked in blood and bound by something far older than Shibuya High itself. As the death toll rises, the authorities finally send in a detective to investigate. But with the monsters closing in, the question remains: will they uncover the truth in time... or will they become the next names on the list? Start: 12/08/2025 End:
