Hunting Disorder

When the moon bleeds and the world fractures, monstrous entities known as Ruin Beasts pour from the earth’s wounds—beasts born from corrupted instincts, living nightmares, and crystallized hunger. Cities fall. Governments collapse. Humanity survives only in scattered enclaves, hunted by creatures that evolve faster than they can be killed. In the ruined city of Valehaven, Kairen Vale, a quiet, overlooked young man with a tragic past, awakens a mysterious mark on his arm—the Hunting Disorder, an ancient, parasitic sigil that devours the instincts of beasts and turns them into power. It should have killed him. Instead, it makes him something new: a human with the instincts of predators, the clarity of hunters, and the potential to become stronger than the monsters hunting the world. But power comes at a cost. Each fragment he absorbs pulls him closer to losing his humanity. Each ability he gains carries a memory of the beast it came from. Each evolution risks turning him into the very thing he’s trying to destroy. Under the guidance of Liora Thane, a rogue hunter with secrets of her own, Kairen begins to train—learning to integrate multiple fragments, control the instincts tearing at his mind, and survive battles that only get deadlier as the beasts evolve. Yet the Ruin Beasts are not mindless monsters. They are organized. Territorial. Intelligent. And something ancient—something crowned and forgotten—has stirred beneath the city. As Kairen grows stronger, so do the Beasts. As he hunts them, they begin to hunt him back. Whispers spread among the Ruin: a human evolving faster than any monster should… a predator with the scent of a king… a threat that must be removed before he ascends. To save his city, protect the few people left, and keep himself from unraveling, Kairen must walk a razor-thin path between human and monster, between control and instinct, between hunter and hunted. Because the Hunting Disorder is not a gift. It is not a blessing. It is a sickness that grows… or consumes. And for Kairen, there is no cure—only the hunt.

Recollecting Divinity

The Garden of Eden is Abandoned. Angels bearing Divine Weapons draw blood against one another in a never-ending feud for the prize of return to the Garden. And where is the Most High who once guided them? Two watch in delight—one begs for peace to reign. None intervenes. Thrust into a hostile, new world, Uriel, the Virtue of Charity, is forced into a divine endless cycle of kill or be killed. One of the Original Twelve Virtues of Eden, he is now a reluctant war general for his legion, and the last defender of what remains of a former friend’s people. Others have taken up what the world decrees as its new law. Gabriel, driven by his duty to the Most High, has become an irresistible force built upon fanaticism. Daughter of Raphael, Michaela is torn between righteous justice and her growing darkness. And Lucifer…his chaos needs no introduction. Uriel refuses to believe that the self-destruction of his kind is the only way out. But once friends turned war enemies start to draw closer and allies die, he must confront the truth of the matter: Can he stay true to Charity when the only path forward requires the embrace of even a sliver of his divine darkness? A new spark of hope is needed to end this world’s suffering. All Uriel has to do is live long enough to see it.

The Undead Who Holds a Thousand Mysteries

Zhao Huang was an eighteen-year-old teenager forced to drop out of school due to financial difficulties. One day, while Zhao Huang and his parents were traveling to their new home, another vehicle collided with their car at high speed. A bystander called for an ambulance, but only Zhao Huang survived. Both of his parents died at the scene due to excessive blood loss. Left with no family and no direction, Zhao Huang chose to live on the streets. He fought to survive but always adhered to honest principles, never attacking without reason. Years passed, and by the age of twenty-five, Zhao Huang had begun to gain recognition in street circles as a formidable fighter who always fought fairly, though he was not yet widely known. However, during a confrontation with an armed criminal gang rivaling his own group, Zhao Huang resorted to underhanded tactics for the first time—throwing sand into his opponent's eyes before thrusting a wooden plank into the eye of an armed adversary holding a gun. That battle marked his first victory against an armed opponent. Over time, Zhao Huang continued to rise through the ranks of the underworld. He formed a large organization that eventually dominated all of China and half of South Korea. Yet, at forty-five, Zhao Huang discovered he was suffering from a severe form of cancer. Despite this, he never sought medical treatment. He continued living as he always had—fighting, leading, and defying the world as if death meant nothing to him. At forty-eight, Zhao Huang’s body could no longer endure the pain. He passed away without medical care, without fear, and without regret—a hard-edged street ruler who lived fiercely until his last breath.

The Alpha Prince and the Shadow Wielder

Havenscove was meant to be ordinary. A windswept coastal town where grief could fade with the tide, where Ava Morgan could pretend she was nothing more than a healer and mother, not the last descendant of a bloodline bound to an ancient curse. Her shop, Haven’s Nook, smells of salt, rosemary, and secrets but the peace she built there is starting to crack. Something is stirring beneath the waves. Men wash ashore with black veins crawling under their skin, and when Ava lays her hands on them, the darkness obeys her touch. It answers her. It remembers her. Across the Veil - the shimmering boundary that divides the human world from the fading Shadow Kingdom, a dying King sends for his son. Casimir Levi Kingston, the Alpha Prince, has spent years in exile, drowning his rage in tavern smoke and silence. But when the Veil begins to bleed, duty drags him home… to the very town where fate waits in human form. And somewhere between their worlds, a third power wakes. Elijah Varyn, the Shadowborn Prince, once sealed inside the Veil itself, has begun to remember his name. His heart beats with the same magic that Ava carries in her blood, and when she heals, he feels it. Her power calls to him across realms, and every heartbeat weakens the cage that holds him. Ava doesn’t yet know that she was born to guard the Veil. Cas doesn’t yet understand that she is the key to saving it. And Elijah, forged from darkness and longing, will tear the world apart to claim her. When light touches shadow, desire becomes weapon, and love becomes war. The Veil is breaking, And if it falls, nothing will ever be the same again.
