angst

Seven girls find themselves in a place they’ve never seen before — warm lights, quiet rooms, strange skies, and no other adults anywhere. They have food, shelter, laughter, and each other — so why hurry? Outside lies a whole new world to explore. Inside, there’s a home that waits for them to return. Every morning is adventure. Every night is peace. They don’t know why they’re here, but it’s fine. After all — what could possibly go wrong when everyone’s together?

Erian was offered as a sacrifice. A god in chains saved him. And in the abyss, a love took root, one that could shatter the heavens. . Every ten years, the people of Erian cast a young woman into the abyss, an offering to calm the fury of the God of Ruin. No one returns. No one survives. And this time, the chosen one is a little girl… his sister. Blind since childhood, poor for as long as he can remember, and deemed a burden by his own people, Erian chooses to take her place. But upon falling into the abyss, he does not find death. He finds Seirion. An ancient deity, bound by human faith and cursed by a lie that brought a nation to ruin. Seirion is no monster, but a wounded soul, sealed within a withered temple where no flower dares to bloom. As Erian discovers that the god everyone fears is the only one who has ever truly been kind to him, the world above begins to tremble. Malric, Erian’s best friend, torn by grief and jealousy, raises an army to kill Seirion. And three rival deities, fearing that this bond could awaken truth and love, conspire to wipe Erian from existence… and finish what they started centuries ago.

Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Decades ago, the first Rifts tore through the skies, spilling monsters into the world and twisting the laws of reality. From the chaos, Hunters were born, those strong enough to fight back, to step into the Rifts, and survive. But not all Hunters want to live. Han Jaemin, once counted among the legends, now walks the world with only one goal: to find a way to die. That plan shatters when he meets Seo Minjae, a man whose obsession is far more dangerous than any monster lurking beyond a Rift. “I don’t mind breaking your legs and locking you somewhere far from everyone… if that’s what it takes to keep you alive.” “…And I don’t mind breaking your neck if it means you’ll finally leave me alone.” Between a man who doesn’t want to live and another who refuses to let him die, every step forward becomes a battle neither is willing to lose. Because when love starts to blur with obsession, how far will you go before you can’t tell the difference between saving someone and keeping them as yours?

Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”

He’s sunshine. He’s a cold blade. They’re doomed from the start. -------------------------------------------------------- Alex, the Crown Prince of Vellara who wants anything except a throne, wakes up in a brothel on the morning he’s supposed to meet his Court Mage, William. A man with cold eyes, sharper wit, and a past that turns touch into danger. Their first meeting crashes and burns so publicly that the king snaps and delivers an ultimatum: "One week to get along, before you're magically bound for life". Alex refuses to be tied to someone who clearly despises him; William refuses to serve a prince who shows up late and smiling. So they strike a secret pact: cooperate, sabotage the binding, and find a way to send William as far from court as possible. Simple. Clean. Emotion-free. Until they’re first mission becomes a deadly trap. When enemies start hunting them through lonely corridors and silent forests, saving each other turns into instinct, not duty. And the magical bond they wanted to avoid may become the one thing that might keep them alive. Forced proximity, slow-burn longing, and sharp edges softened by accident. A sunshine prince and his guarded mage caught in a fate neither of them chose.

Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began. Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself. Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

Aveer wanted distance. Aarav wanted closure. But fate gave them neither - only a single room, old wounds, and a silence, heavy enough to drown in. What begins as resentment soon turns into something darker, softer, and far more forbidden. Because the heart doesn't forget - even when it's been taught to hate. "The world called it sin - They called it love Because when love becomes a sin, desire becomes rebellion"

He says I chose him. I don't remember why. The last thing I expected after waking up from a nine-month-long coma was a man attached to my side, claiming to be my husband. But there he was. Calm, infuriatingly composed, so sure of himself, and dangerously good at making me believe we were something real. All I have are vague pieces of a night I can't forget and a man I'm not sure I can trust. Maybe he's my ruin. Maybe he's my salvation. Either way, he claims I'm his forever. *** She doesn't remember the night she chose me. One impulsive night in Vegas tied us together forever. One I could never forget. Now she looks at me like I'm a stranger. Maybe I am. The smartest, most selfless thing to do would be letting her go, letting her find her way back to me, but I'm not as selfless. I'm as selfish as they come, and this time, I wasn't letting her slip through my fingers; not to fate, not to fear, and not even to death. This time, I was going to take her heart, too.
