When rebellion is a crime, courage becomes an act of defiance.
Nero is a sassy, rebellious teenager living under the shadow of the Peace Corps, a ruthless organization that rules with control and fear. Raised in isolation, he dreams of freedom and purpose beyond the forest's edge - but when an assassin named Frides is sent to kill him, his life is thrown into chaos.
In a shocking twist, Nero's guardian Criselda, a former Peace Corps soldier, strikes a dangerous deal that forces Frides to protect him instead. Together, the unlikely trio must cross a world ruled by corruption, hunting for the mysterious Retainers - a resistance of outlaws who dare to fight back against tyranny.
Retainers is a fast-paced coming-of-age fantasy about rebellion, loyalty, and identity - perfect for fans of dark shonen adventures, found-family stories, and heroes who blur the line between good and evil.

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Завершено
Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Завершено
My Bat, My Blade, My Damn World - Arc 1: Break, Burn, Begin
Kaede Kamizora isn't a hero. She's a high school dropout with a busted bat, a sharper tongue than most knives, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Tokyo. Born to a Yakuza father and an abusive mother, Kaede learned early on that life only respects those who hit harder than they cry. So when she gets yanked from her hellish city life and dumped into a world full of demons, kingdoms, and magic? She doesn't see destiny-she sees opportunity. This new world, Nocthera, is one where humans and demons barely hold the peace, united under a Demon King and Human Queen. But beneath that fragile alliance lies something worse: a faceless, ruthless force known only as the Nullborne, watching and waiting to burn everything down. Kaede doesn't care about their politics. She doesn't care about prophecies. But when she finds herself with access to both Light and Dark magic-something no one else can wield without dying-everyone starts expecting her to "save the world." Yeah, no thanks. Instead, she's building her own gang, rewriting the rules, and dragging along a painfully polite honor student named Miyu Yukishiro, who's supposed to be meeting royalty but ends up stuck with Kaede and her chaotic survival tactics. Together, the foul-mouthed delinquent and the soft-spoken healer clash, bond, bleed, and burn their way across a land on the edge of collapse. This world isn't just another fantasy. It's hers. And she'll do whatever it takes to take it back.Завершено
The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Завершено
GRAYWORLD - The Lost Grayling (Book 1)
Gray isn't a color. It's a thief. It steals memories, leaches vibrancy, and muffles screams in the chilling reality known as GrayWorld. For fifteen-year-old Kai, grieving his mother, arrival isn't a choice - it's an abduction into a place where time corrodes the self. Here, newcomers, Graylings, find their identities fading like breath on a cold mirror, their bodies subject to arbitrary, horrifying transformations: shrink into nothingness or expand until you burst. Forget the sun. Forget warmth. Forget who you are. The metallic taste of the lavish food only accelerates the Fade. Asking questions invites punishment. Survival means clinging to fragile anchors - a stopped pocket watch, a fraying photograph - while navigating a landscape of endless gray corridors, lurking Drifters who hunger for warmth, and warring Copies split into hunted Blacks and ruling Whites. When Kai witnesses the chilling "mercy" of the Butcher, a White copy who harvests souls, he's pulled into the shadows by Silas, a haunted Black copy bearing the weight of sacrifice. Finding refuge in a derelict farm hiding an impossible secret - a subterranean garden pulsing with ghostly light - Kai must ally with the cynical, scarred survivor Jax to unravel the secrets of GrayWorld's brutal Karma system and the nature of the unseen Arbiter who rules from his Tower of Bone. But in a world designed to erase you, can Kai hold onto his memories, his identity, his very soul? Can he trust his allies when survival demands impossible choices? And what happens when the deepest corruption isn't just in the ruling powers, but potentially within the very fabric of reality... and himself? Dive into the first volume of an epic dark fantasy series that blends psychological horror with intricate world-building. "GRAYWORLD" is a visceral, mind-altering journey into a reality where memory is currency, identity is fragile, and survival demands a confrontation with the shadows within and without.Завершено![The Ninth Mark [ATEEZ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/359225866-256-k751373.jpg)
The Ninth Mark [ATEEZ]
RISKS AND REWARDS. LOSSES AND GAINS. That is how Yasemin has learned to think to guarantee her younger brother's survival above all else. Enot, the eighth and most dangerous state of the empire is surrounded by the ancient Myncewood Forest. Within its steadily expanding borders, shadowy creatures called wraiths snatch pitiful souls and hijack their bodies, withering them from the inside out. With war threatening the empire and wraith attacks becoming increasingly frequent, the people have been effectively abandoned by the crown. After Yasemin's brother disappears in the night, a series of poorly-timed choices lead her straight to the apathetic emperor himself. Desperate and at risk of execution, when he offers his assistance in finding her brother in exchange for her service as a spy, she has no choice but to agree. The job is simple: find eight hidden seals to undo the curse of the wraiths, but as war looms, Yasemin must navigate a world of espionage, preternatural powers, and ancient artifacts to find her brother and save the empire. Guided only by a soul imprisoned in a ring and a distrusting, ragtag team of revolutionaries, the risks outweigh the rewards and loss is her new normal. No one can be sure this journey won't end in vain. -fantasy! au © 2025, saverics [start : XX.XX.XXXX]
