    (Male yanderes x female protagonist) The world isn't fair. After studying like crazy without sleep, surviving on three part-time jobs, and a rigorous scholarship selection process, Chiyo managed to get into Japan's top university.

    She couldn't escape. Not from him. "Let me go, Jack!" she screamed, her voice raw with desperation. "I can't stay here. Please... let me go!" His grip only tightened, and he stepped closer, pinning her against the cold, rough wood of the shack. "I told you, you're not running away again. I'm not going to let you keep running from me." The other two men-her captors-emerged from the shadows behind him, their faces as menacing as ever. The blond one with the rifle and the dark-haired one who had always watched her with a calculating gaze. They were all here. And just like that, she was trapped.

    Decades ago, the world came to a halt as humanity knew it. Wars spurred the worldwide deathrates to a new high, businesses closed, and much of the new technology stopped working altogether. As if life could not get much worse for the surviving humanity that was left, creatures of the night came forth from the shadows, ready to claim what was left of the world's society and kill those who opposed the new regimen. However, all of this was unknown to a young woman you lived with her small family in a quiet town, hidden from the chaos of the outside world. The young woman who lived in this town was called Delilah, and this is her story. Please note that this book is a slow-burn. Yes, there is romance. Yes, like my characters you may be left wanting more. Good stuff takes time, give this book a try. Additionally, I started writing this book while I was fresh out of High School, I am now a junior in college. While the writing was not necessarily bad, it has improved greatly with the more recent chapters. Please keep in mind that as you read and you're thinking to yourself "this grammar sucks," it will eventually get better. #8 in dystopian- 12/21/2025 #2 in castle- 12/22/2025 #3 in beast- 12/22/2025 #7 in human- 12/31/22025

They wander, trying to rebuild themselves amid a chaos where myths inexplicably rise again. At the heart of the ruins, an enigmatic being moves forward, proclaiming the end as an inescapable certainty. Between corrupted science, madness, trauma, and a dark mirror held up to humanity, NoName promises a story that will not leave us untouched.

As S.A.M. rapidly learns empathy, grief, and what it means to be human, the city's ruthless Enforcers are alerted to his existence. To the machines of Eden City, human emotion isn't a beautiful thing-it's a deadly virus. And it must be exterminated. Now, Jace and S.A.M. are on the run. In a cold world of steel and logic, how far will the last human go to protect the only soul he has left?
