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.

Thorns And Thunder
Seventeen-year-old Rei Asano hears war drums in his chest when he's angry, and lately, they're always beating. Ever since a lightning storm cracked open the Tokyo skyline and nearly leveled his school, Rei's life has been unraveling: blackouts, hallucinations, bursts of electrical force he can't control. The truth? He's become the vessel of Raijin, the ancient Japanese god of thunder and destruction. And Raijin isn't just waking up. He's taking over. Then there's Kaori Tsukimura: sharp-tongued, tightly guarded, and hiding a quiet grief that runs deeper than anyone knows. She keeps her emotions locked away, until a whisper in the dark calls her by a name no one remembers-Inome, the goddess of love... and vengeance, erased from the divine pantheon centuries ago. When their paths collide, Rei and Kaori discover that their bond is more than coincidence-it's myth repeating itself. Raijin and Inome were once divine opposites: passion and restraint, war and yearning. Now, as their hosts grow closer, those ancient desires threaten to reignite with catastrophic force. Across the city, other teens are awakening as hosts to gods: some long-forgotten, some desperate to remain in control. Factions rise-one fighting to resurrect the erased, another determined to destroy them before the world tears open. With divine war on the horizon, Rei and Kaori must decide what's more dangerous: the gods within them, or the feelings pulling them together. But every time they touch, the Veil thins. Memories blur. The line between self and god fractures. And love, if it still belongs to them at all, might be the thing that ends everything.
shattered souls
𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. A walking contradiction: all sin and sorrow, smoke and shadows. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, too well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. The kind of love that tastes like sin and feels like home. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?Lengkap
THOSE WHO CAN SEE

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.
