Starlight Scan

The hum of the coffee shop was like any other a blend of clinking cups, hushed conversations, and the soft swish of the barista’s apron as they moved behind the counter. Adrian strode in, his sharp gaze barely flicking toward the order board as he walked past the line of people. His mind was preoccupied, his phone held firmly in one hand, eyes scanning through an email from his company’s legal team. He was too distracted by his thoughts to notice the petite figure standing in his path until it was too late. A gasp broke through the air, followed by the unmistakable sound of liquid splashing. Adrian's body jerked, the scalding hot coffee sloshing onto his dark gray suit just as his phone flew out of his hand. “Shit!” came the voice, soft but hurried, as the person in question scrambled to steady their own coffee cup and avoid more damage. Adrian barely had time to react as a small figure stepped back, eyes wide with panic. "I.I’m so sorry!" The voice trembled, and Adrian finally looked up to meet the wide, apologetic eyes of the person who had crashed into him. His gaze softened as he saw the clear panic on the other person’s face. The person in front of him was a young man slender, with messy dark hair and a few stray strands falling into his face. His eyes, a warm shade of brown, flicked nervously from the coffee splattered on Adrian’s suit to Adrian’s face. His lips parted in a silent apology as he clutched the coffee cup, looking for something to say, but the words seemed to fail him. Adrian’s frown deepened, his suit already ruined, but the surprise of the moment faded quickly. He tilted his head slightly, giving the man a once-over. "Are you alright?" Adrian asked, voice calm yet with an edge of amusement, despite the ruined suit. He reached for the napkins on the counter to dab at the coffee stains. The guy blinked rapidly, as if processing Adrian’s question. “Yeah, I... I mean, yeah, but oh god, your suit! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention!” His hands fluttered in the air awkwardly as he stepped forward, his movements frantic. Adrian couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. “It’s fine, really. I’ve had worse.” His voice held a quiet authority, but something in his expression softened. He took a breath and added, “Not the first time something like this has happened.” The young man Kai, as Adrian now saw on his name tag bit his lip and exhaled a shaky breath. "I'm so embarrassed. I swear, I’m usually more careful." He finally seemed to calm down a little, though his nervousness lingered. Adrian couldn’t resist. “Seems like you’re a little distracted. What’s going on in that head of yours?” Kai blinked again, almost flustered. "Huh? Oh. Just... life, you know?" He laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Work stuff... which is apparently bad luck today.” He pointed toward the stain on Adrian’s suit, his fingers twitching nervously. Adrian’s eyebrow arched. “Work stuff, huh? What do you do?” Kai hesitated for a moment. “Uh... marketing. At... uh, a company. Not nearly as cool as... whatever it is you do.” Adrian chuckled again, shaking his head. “I’ll say this, though: I’m not in the marketing game. I’m actually... not great with people, so let’s just say you got me at a good moment. A coffee spill’s the least of my problems today.” His voice was smooth, almost teasing as he finally took in Kai’s nervousness. Kai looked embarrassed but a little relieved. “Well, if it helps, I’ll pay for a new suit?” “Too much of a hassle,” Adrian replied. “But you do owe me a drink. How about we get one sometime this weekend?” Kai blinked, clearly caught off guard. “Wait, you mean... after spilling coffee all over you?” Adrian smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. “Well, if you’re willing to make it up to me, why not?” Kai’s hesitation was palpable, but there was a playful curiosity there now, his shoulders relaxing as he gave a half-hearted laugh. “I’ll be honest, I wasn't expecting that...

On the night Eva planned to surprise her husband with news of her pregnancy, she walked into a nightmare—Nathan, her loving husband, tangled in a kiss with his ex-girlfriend, Katherine. “What can I say? I only wanted to give him a child since you couldn’t do so yourself,” Katherine, his ex cooed. “You’re really stupid,” Nathan added. “We’ve been doing this behind your back even before we got married. Did you really think I would choose you over Katherine?” He asked, as if she was living in delusions. Eva was shocked to the brink but didn’t fight back. She was a renowned model and had lots of money to forget her so-called husband and raise her child as a single mother. Unfortunately, Katherine had seen the pregnancy scan Eva was holding, clenched in her hand. She arranged for Eva to be beaten up so badly she had a miscarriage, a broken leg and a battered face, then tossed into the river to die.

Dante offered Eva a simple deal. “Just pretend to be my woman, and bear my child. As soon as the rumors are cleared, I’ll assist you in whichever way you want,” he offered. Tempted, Eva agreed. With a new face, and a new identity, Eva makes a comeback to make Nathan and Katherine pay, but makes sure to keep focus on her main mission since she was a child. But what happens when Eva’s journey of revenge leads her from one discovery to another? And Dante? Is he involved in anything or will he protect his family, even from his pretend wife despite knowing fully well he can’t live a day without her?

Title: Scarlet Stormborne Genre: Fantasy Romance | High School | Reverse Harem | Supernatural Mystery Scarlet Stormborne doesn't belong at Crescent Hollow Academy, and everyone knows it the moment she walks in. Dressed in a forbidden scarlet uniform, with hair too white and eyes too deep, she is an anomaly in a school built on bloodlines, power ranks, and control. Crescent Hollow isn't just any school—it's the top supernatural academy in the world, where only the elite among witches, wolves, and shifters are invited, and where hierarchy is not just practiced—it's enforced. Students are divided by strength, species, and ancient houses. Alphas rule at the top, particularly the Fanged Four: Draven, Damian, Devon, and Dexter. They share everything—power, enemies, tension, and silence. But when Scarlet arrives, she doesn't just catch their attention; she disrupts their very foundation. She isn't scanned by the biometric systems. She can't be placed. No known species. No magic match. Just a blank slate with too much silence around her name. That silence, however, is not emptiness. It's suppression. Scarlet has no idea who she truly is. Raised in a quiet, privileged foster home with odd rules and stranger dreams, she's always been told to stay small, keep her hair dyed, and avoid hospitals. But in Crescent Hollow, the rules are different. People notice. Power attracts power. And the four most dangerous Alphas can't seem to stay away from her. Draven watches from the shadows, always near, always silent. Devon asks questions, digs into her background. Dexter pokes and prods, trying to trigger her reactions.

[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!

Being a wolfless hybrid was bad? Yes, but not as bad as being rejected by your groom three days before your wedding, in favor of your younger sister! ~~~ Sue was an outcast from birth, and she grew up stomaching ridicules and insults despite being a princess in starlight pack. Instead of wallowing in self pity, Sue strives for strength and soon becomes a strong fighter. Having been rejected multiple times for being the pack’s freak, Sue was over the moon when she unexpectedly gets accepted by her present mate whom she’s presently engaged to. However, when she’s rejected again, and is replaced by her sister this time, she believes all hope is lost for her, not knowing fate has something else in store for her. In a mission that’s supposed to kill her, she ends up coming across her mate in the monstrous enemy she was sent to capture, and by the end of it all, she discovers said mate has two brothers who’re also her mates, and not only were they willing to accept her, they forcefully took her along with them against her will, making Sue dislike and want nothing to do with them. Too bad they were stupidly hot and utterly breathtaking. Cursed because of the sins of their ancestors— Angelo, Landon and Damon lived as part monsters and part wolves, a deadly curse which would end up taking their lives if they didn't find their fated mate, the key to breaking the curse. Which was why as soon as they found her, there was no way they’d be letting her go, no matter what. Even though she was the daughter of their greatest enemy, even though she was wolfless, and even though she definitely wasn’t the fire breathing, powerful mate that was prophesied for them decades ago. ~~~ | ~~~ “I bet your nipples are hard right now. And are you wet between your legs as well? I should be able to smell it if I focus hard.” he husked out in a sultry voice, the dark eyes of his drinking me up and I wished the ground would open up to swallow me up at once. “N- no…” I managed to hurl out but he only laughed, then he leaned even closer and my heart lurched into my throat after his next words. “Why? You hate hearing the truth?” He demanded then I felt his large hand settle on my thigh. “I can check right now for you, to see if you’re dripping and making a mess of your little panties.” My cheeks felt so red, it felt like they might go up in flames at any moment from now. “A- are you crazy?” I managed after what felt like ages, while gaping at him as an immense amount of shock went through my entire body. He flashed me a dark grin, his fangs gleaming in the moonlight. “Couldn’t you tell?” He drawled and I let out a huff of disbelief. This man wasn’t just crazy. He was mad. Him and his two brothers.

En el vibrante y riguroso mundo del K-pop, CHROMATIC se alza como la nueva sensación, liderada por el carismático y audaz Hyun-woo (HYU). Con su cabello degradado y un estilo punk extravagante, Hyun-woo es una fuerza de la naturaleza, un perfeccionista implacable que exige autenticidad, incluso si eso significa desafiar las estrictas normas de su agencia, StellarRise Entertainment. En el corazón de CHROMATIC, como su voz y su alma, se encuentra Ji-hoon (JIHO), un artista de gracia etérea y una vulnerabilidad oculta. A pesar de su talento innegable como vocalista principal, Ji-hoon lucha contra la ansiedad y un profundo miedo al rechazo, encontrando refugio en las sombras y en las melodías que compone. La tensión entre ellos es palpable: Hyun-woo, el líder dominante que anhela ver a Ji-hoon brillar en su "espectro completo", y Ji-hoon, que teme exponer sus verdaderos "colores" ante un mundo que valora la perfección y la imagen por encima de todo. Un toque fortuito, una mirada intensa, una melodía compartida en la quietud de la noche... su conexión secreta comienza a encenderse, desafiando las estrictas reglas de StellarRise, que prohíbe las relaciones dentro del grupo para mantener una "imagen limpia y comercial". Cuando CHROMATIC es elegido para encabezar el prestigioso Festival Seoul Pride, la presión se dispara. Es la oportunidad de su vida para encarnar su mensaje de "autenticidad y autoexpresión", pero también un escenario masivo que podría exponer su incipiente y peligrosa conexión.

Sin embargo, una foto filtrada los arroja al ojo del huracán mediático. StellarRise, en pánico, amenaza con separarlos y censurar su arte. Es entonces cuando Ji-hoon debe tomar una decisión crucial: ¿se esconderá de nuevo en las sombras o se atreverá a abrazar la invitación de Hyun-woo para vivir y amar sin reservas, a pesar de los riesgos monumentales que esto implica para sus carreras y para CHROMATIC?

[WPC JULY 2025 ENTRY] The Witch’s Heart and The Mortal’s Light A Pride Month Fantasy Epic In a world where magic divides and power isolates, one cursed forest hides a legend — and one ordinary girl dares to walk straight into it. Elara Wynn never asked for prophecy. All she wanted was a cure for her dying sister. But when she crosses into the Dreadwood Expanse, she finds more than herbs and hexes… She finds her — Morgwyn of Vel Ashen, the immortal witch feared across empires. A woman shrouded in shadows, wielding curses like breath, and carrying a past soaked in blood. Everyone says Morgwyn is a monster. Elara sees something else: sorrow, silence... a soul aching to be known. Bound by reluctant alliance and unwelcome fate, the two are thrust into a spiraling conflict of forgotten gods, fractured empires, and forbidden magic. As war brews and old scars split open, love flickers in the darkest of places — where redemption seems impossible, and trust is a spell few dare to cast. But the world is watching. And power, once awakened, refuses to sleep. Let them fear the witch. Let them doubt the mortal. Together, they will burn the script — and write a new myth in starlight. (>This book is dedicated to senior Machiavelli)

They were warriors born of starlight and storm—seven champions who rose against godlike invaders in a battle that shook the earth and cracked the heavens. But in their final stand, their power grew beyond imagination. Together, their energy scorched mountains, turned oceans to steam, and split the skies with molten rage. They won the war... But lost the world they swore to protect. Cursed with immortality and blessed with terrifying, earth-shaking power, they became walking cataclysms. Just their presence could melt the ground beneath their feet and ignite cities with a single breath. To prevent another apocalypse, they made a solemn pact: > “We will seal away our powers and vanish across the ages. For 5,000 years, we will walk alone—until the world is ready... or we are forgotten.” They scattered across the globe, living countless lives through empires, eras, and extinctions. But the price of their exile was heavy—the very echo of their unleashed power left scars on the world: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions—the lingering aftermath of gods who dared to exist. Now, in the 21st century, the seal is broken. A pulse of celestial energy escapes into the modern world—possessing storms, toppling cities, awakening memories. As chaos returns, the immortals begin to remember. Their exile is ending. The world teeters on the edge of ruin, and the only hope may lie in their reunion. But with every step they take back toward each other, the balance frays further. They must reclaim their power... But the question remains: > Will they save the world? Or finish what they started and end it?

You were never supposed to exist. So why does the system fear you? Vael Drayce was just another zero—an unranked, unnoticed student in a hypercompetitive academy ruled by rankings, simulations, and scan-based power systems. Except... his scan fails. Every time. Glitch. That’s what they call him. A walking error. An invisible mistake. But when a forbidden system activates inside him—a sarcastic, unstable AI named Glint—Vael begins unlocking memories that were never his. Memories of versions. Experiments. Echoes. Memories of being erased. As fragments of the past resurface, Vael uncovers a terrifying truth: he’s not just outside the system—he’s the lock keeping something worse sealed behind it. And now... the seal is cracking. Welcome to the Academy of Silence. Rank up, or vanish.

Once upon a time—okay, more like Tuesday—Earth had a problem. Specifically, the kind of problem that comes with teeth, shadows, and a complete disregard for physics. They called it The Darkness. It showed up one day, wrecked the planet like it was a tutorial zone, and left humanity with two options: die screaming or die slightly later. That’s when a Supreme Being—possibly bored, possibly drunk on starlight—took pity on humanity and said: [“Alright, alright. You guys suck at surviving. Let’s try this again.”] With a snap (probably), the last remnants of mankind were transported to a new world: Celestara—a magical realm with floating continents, talking crystals, and suspiciously cute monsters that will absolutely kill you if you blink wrong. Here, humans can awaken magical Jobs, unlock hidden Talents, and level up using a divine system called Vaelwyn—basically fantasy’s version of patch notes and grind culture. It’s like someone made life into a video game. Because... they did [Six hundred year later] And then there’s Kael Virean—a guy from a perfectly normal parallel Earth, where the biggest threat to humanity was bad Wi-Fi and overpriced DLCs. He also happened to be a VR game world champion, the kind of player who dodged boss attacks in his sleep. One day, he opened his eyes… and found himself transmigrated to Celestara—in the body of an 18-year-old boy, just moments away from his Awakening. Whatever that means. --- [Disclaimer: Want to know what happens next? Then start reading. Curiosity is a powerful thing.]

Princess Anna was born beneath a rare celestial eclipse, a child whispered to be touched by fate—but chained by royal blood and duty. When an assassin cloaked in shadow and time magic crashes through the palace’s warded skies, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel. He calls himself Kai, a Time Ninja bound by an ancient oath and hunted by temporal wraiths, cursed blades, and a secret order sworn to erase him from history. Drawn to his haunted past and the prophecy that ties their souls together, Anna defies her court and plunges into a world of shifting timelines, forgotten gods, and enchanted realms where stars bleed memory and rivers flow backward. With kingdoms collapsing across centuries and a monstrous entity devouring time itself, Anna and Kai must battle ancient beasts, unravel magical riddles, and confront the dark power within Anna that even she doesn’t fully understand. As their bond deepens amidst chaos and war, love becomes their most dangerous weapon—one that could mend the fabric of time… or tear the world apart.
