SOUL BREAKER

The trick to disappearing is consistency. Reiha Kurokami has been disappearing for eight years, and she is very good at it. In the neon-lit, fracture-scarred city of Ashenmori, seventeen-year-old Reiha lives a life defined by silence. Hiding behind a plain cloth mask and a carefully constructed "filing system" for her emotions, she has successfully buried the trauma of her past—along with every memory of the first nine years of her life. She is a girl with no name of her own, only the one handed to her in a hospital bed by the man who saved her from a collapsed Soulplane breach. But the past has a way of breathing. When a red oni mask mysteriously appears on her windowsill, Reiha’s internal walls begin to crumble. A single touch ignites memories of a glass sky, falling ash, and a younger version of herself making a desperate bargain. From the "hollow place" in her chest, a second consciousness awakens: Kurai, an ancient and patient guardian of the Soulplane who has been waiting eight years for Reiha to be "ready." As the city’s spiritual fractures begin to leak "copper-cold" energy and the sinister Void King begins harvesting souls on a massive scale, Reiha is forced out of the shadows. Recruited by the clandestine organization AXIS, she must trade her quiet life for a blade. With the help of the scarred Commander Ashido and the enigmatic Kurai, Reiha must learn to navigate the dying geography of the Soulplane. But as she hunts the monsters emerging from the fractures, she realizes the greatest threat isn't the Void King—it’s the truth behind the deal she made as a child. Reiha Kurokami isn't just an amnesiac survivor. She is the only one who can break a soul... starting with her own.

The Forgotten Mate of the North

Three months ago, Emma Carter was Luna of the most powerful pack in the north. Three months ago, she stood beside her mate Alpha Liam Hayes in battle against rogue wolves. Three months ago, a blow to the head erased everything. When she wakes up in a hospital bed, she does not know the man sitting beside her. She does not remember the war. She does not remember falling in love. She does not remember the mate bond that ties her soul to his. All she knows is that a stranger is calling her his Luna and she wants to go home. But the home she remembers is not the Alpha's fortress. It is a small cabin in Willowbrook where she grew up, where her sister still lives, where life was simple before she became someone important. So Emma runs. She leaves the man who claims to love her and returns to the only place that feels real. Liam follows her. He does not force the bond. He does not demand she remember. He shows up in her tiny village as a stranger and starts over. He takes a job at the local lumber mill. He rents a cabin down the road. He sees her every day at the bakery where she works and pretends he does not know her. But Emma is not stupid. She knows this man is watching her. She knows he is lying about why he moved to Willowbrook. She knows he is hiding something big. And against every logical thought in her head, she is drawn to him. As winter deepens and Emma starts rebuilding her life, she discovers pieces of who she used to be. A warrior. A leader. A woman who fought beside the most dangerous Alpha in the north. But she also discovers something terrifying. The rogues who hurt her are coming back. They want to finish what they started. They want her dead. Liam will burn the entire north to keep her safe. But Emma is done being protected. She is done being told who she is. She is done letting her past control her future. When the rogues attack Willowbrook and Emma has to choose between running or fighting, she makes a decision that changes everything. She fights. Not as Liam's mate. Not as the Luna she forgot. But as the woman she is choosing to become. In the end, the real question is not whether she will remember him. It is whether she will choose him anyway.

do you remember me

Rinda’s mother came to wake her up. Mother said, “Wake up, it’s time to go to school.” Rinda replied, “I can’t… let me sleep a little more.” Her mother said, “It’s 6:30 AM, and school starts at 8:00.” Rinda suddenly woke up in panic, “Ahhh! I’m going to be late! The bus will leave me! Why didn’t you wake me up at 5?” Mother said, “Hurry up, you’ll be late. I’ll drive you to school.” Rinda replied, “Okay mom, please bring me breakfast.” Mother smiled, “Alright, my daughter.” Rinda quickly finished her food and headed to school. When she arrived, she looked at the building in amazement. “Wow… the school is so beautiful.” She walked into the classroom, but suddenly she froze. There he was… Saiko. Her childhood friend. Her eyes widened in shock. “But… why isn’t he reacting?” In her mind, she thought angrily, “I’ll kill you… how can you not remember me?!” Trying to stay calm, she introduced herself. “Hello, I’m Rinda. I’m from Japan, and I came to live in Korea.” Everyone welcomed her warmly. Rinda sat in her seat, but her eyes never left Saiko. Her heart was beating fast. “Why doesn’t he remember me? Did he change… or did something happen to him?” she thought. She looked at him again. He was staring out the window… distant… as if he didn’t belong there. The class ended, and the students left. But Rinda stayed. She watched him as he was about to leave. Then suddenly, she ran toward him. “Saiko! Wait!” He stopped… but didn’t turn around. She got closer, her voice trembling. “I’m Rinda… your childhood friend. We used to play together every day… do you really not remember me?” Silence filled the air. Then he spoke calmly, “I don’t remember anything you’re talking about…” Rinda’s heart sank. But he continued, “However… when I see you, I feel something strange… I don’t know what it is.” Her eyes lit up with a small hope. “So… that means something is still there.” She smiled softly despite her sadness. “That’s okay… I’ll make you remember me again.” He looked at her for the first time with a different expression. “Do as you wish.” Days passed. Rinda slowly got closer to Saiko. She talked to him every day, showed him places, and told him about their memories. Little by little… Saiko started smiling. He felt comfortable around her, even if he didn’t understand why. One day, after school, they sat together under a tree in the school yard. The air was calm. Rinda asked softly, “Do you feel anything now… when you’re with me?” He closed his eyes for a moment and said, “Yes… I feel like I was happy here before… like this moment isn’t new to me.” Rinda smiled brightly. “That’s because we were always here together.” He opened his eyes and looked at her. “Maybe I don’t remember the past… but I want to build new memories with you.” Rinda blushed slightly, feeling shy… but very happy. A gentle wind blew, and leaves fell around them. Saiko looked at her and said softly, “Rinda… even if I don’t remember everything… I feel like you are someone very important to me.” Her breath stopped for a moment. Then she smiled, “And I won’t leave you until you remember everything.” Saiko stood up and extended his hand. “Let’s start again.” Rinda looked at his hand… then held it with a warm smile. Inside her heart, she whispered: “This isn’t the end… It’s the beginning.”
