[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Had a little drink, played a few cards. No need to work, just farmed a bit of land, no worries about food or clothing, chatted leisurely with people, did some cultivation, with a "Five Elements Spring" within my body. Made use of my many abilities to earn money. A small farmer with big ambitions, confident about acquiring land abroad, drove luxury cars, lived in Western-style houses, and made a name all over the world!

Sakamoto, a 15-year-old boy born into poverty, lives a quiet life with his grandmother, dreaming only of earning enough money to lift them out of hardship. His simple goal leads him to enter Seoul’s Grand Tournament — a brutal competition where monstrous fighters and humans with extraordinary abilities clash for glory. His aim was clear: win the grand prize of five million and secure a better future. But fate had other plans. When a mysterious and powerful group of elite fighters attacks the tournament, driven by their own twisted vision of reshaping the world, Sakamoto is caught in the chaos. Thrust into a battle far beyond his original dream, he now carries the heavy responsibility of the past — and the future — in an era that desperately needs a new hero.

He crossed over to a new world where humans have magical power. They are called warriors. They use their power to kill the monsters that appear out of nowhere. Dragons, Dungeons, and Magic users are pretty common in this world. If you want to live in peace, you need to have that power. You can also become a powerful clearing dungeon. In this dangerous world, he has a system that can help him grow stronger. But he didn't want to be a high-profile warrior who attracts much powerhouse attention or become a lab rat. He wants to be Low-profile and grow strong using his system. ___________________________ [# Hey guys, check out my new novel: I am in a new world, playing an offline RPG game. ] [ # Guys, check out my new novel: Little Dungeon system .] ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Hey guys, this is my first novel.

In a war-torn empire where power corrupts absolutely, seven broken warlords branded as monsters must defy their past to forge a future worth redeeming. Once feared as "The Ghost Tigers"—Zhang Wei’s brutal enforcers—Kalima Chileshe (Hellfire Incarnate), John Mwanabeti (The Golden Fist), and their brothers-in-arms unleashed devastation across the Jade Expanse. Kalima’s flames razed villages. Chisangalalo Zulu’s breath poisoned rivers. Vincent Kabonde twisted flesh into abominations. But when the warlord they served turns their affinities against their own families, they shatter their chains, becoming hunted outcasts with blood on their hands and empires on their trail. Haunted by the ashes of Frost Moon Province—a genocide Kalima can never undo—the Ghost Tigers are consumed by a desperate chase: to escape their sins, control their cursed gifts, and find a peace that feels forever out of reach. Their only anchors are the love of spouses they were forced to abandon: - Kalima’s healer wife, Mei Lin, whose faith in his humanity is fading. - John’s fierce swordsmith wife, **Hana, imprisoned for defying Zhang Wei. - Zulu’s herbalist wife, **Lihua**, dying from the toxins he once weaponized. Their quest leads them to the **"Breath of Heaven"**—an ancient philosophy teaching control over their destructive affinities. With this fragile hope, they unite with rebels and clans to build **"The Sanctuary"** in the poisoned Mourning Moss Swamp, transforming their powers into tools of healing: - Kalima’s fire now warms forges. - Zulu’s breath purifies blighted land. - Vincent’s bone-warping mends wounds. But Zhang Wei’s vengeance is relentless. He creates monstrous Serpent’s Teeth" soldiers and poisons the empire’s wells, blaming the Ghost Tigers. Facing annihilation, they make a final stand—not with fire and fury, but with irrefutable truth. Risking everything, they expose Zhang Wei’s atrocities to the Imperial Court, culminating in a celestial aurora over the capital—a beacon of their restraint and redemption. In the aftermath, the Ghost Tigers achieve the impossible: Reunite with their spouses against all odds. Cleanse the land they once poisoned. Build a sanctuary where affinity-bearers and refugees find hope. Force the empire to acknowledge their humanity. Years later, the Ghost Tigers stand not as warlords or monsters, but as guardians of the Sanctuary—a thriving city born from ashes. Kalima and Mei Lin heal beneath blossom trees where infernos once roared. John and Hana teach children to forge swords into plowshares. Vincent and Jia mend broken bones and broken pasts. Their scars remain, but their measure is finally taken in lives saved, not lives erased. "We chased shadows... and found our light not in hiding, but in building this." — Kalima Chileshe, Sanctuary Dawn

Noel is eighteen. Soft-spoken, delicate, and quietly invisible in his own home. When his older sister Sabrina invites her boyfriend Logan to move in temporarily, Noel tries to pretend the arrangement doesn’t affect him. But Logan isn’t like the other men Noel’s known—he’s older, rugged, emotionally unreadable… and completely off-limits. What begins as fascination becomes something darker. Something needier. Late-night glances. Lingering touches. Doors left open. Logan is supposed to be Sabrina’s. But Noel can't stop watching. And Logan is starting to look back. In the silence of their shared house, with walls too thin and hearts too loud, Noel will learn that longing can be dangerous—and once a line is crossed, there's no way back. Untouched is a slow-burn, emotionally intense erotic story told through the eyes of a femboy who should know better—but aches to be seen, to be wanted, and to finally stop pretending he's not falling for the one man he shouldn’t.

The world is inhabited by two types of people: Humans and Irregulars. While Humans, who make up the majority, enjoy equality across different classes and cultures, Irregulars are a marginalized minority often kept separate from society. Their supernatural abilities, either inherited or awakened during adolescence, mark them as different, and often, dangerous. Three unique perspectives are about to collide: Elliot: A foster kid who stumbles into the wrong place at the wrong time, only to discover that he is an Irregular. Up until now, he's lived as a human, but his world is about to change in ways he never expected. Wendy: A determined young cop searching for her missing partner. While investigating a restricted area, she encounters Elliot and takes him in for questioning, unaware that this meeting will change the course of her mission. Devlon: A boy classified as an Irregular for as long as he can remember, kept hidden from the public eye. His life has been one of isolation-until now. With society pushing for Irregulars and Humans to integrate, tensions are rising. Each of these three faces a world that demands change, but how they respond could alter the future for both groups. When their small worlds collide, will events finally lead to peace between humans and irregulars? Or will this spark a new conflict altogether?

Edited Version: Picking it back up after 2 years... I changed a lot of details. It's better to reread if you read the old version as the new version is muchhh better. Piercing sounds echoed from all sides, abruptly replaced by an eerie silence—a daytime nightmare arrived. A gentle smile consistently adorned the face, yet a hint of sorrow lingered in the eyes. As the child maneuvered the claw, Lu Xiyun stood tense, both hands pressed against the glass. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his unblinking eyes were fixed on the moving claw, displaying intense concentration. "Big brother, do you want to play the claw machine?" The big brother tilted his head and stepped aside. Witnessing this scene, someone found it amusing, and a small laugh resonated.

Yunna wanted to escape from being sold by her foster parents to a man who was more than ten years older than her. So, she took a taxi straight to the airport and got on a plane that was about to take off. Not long after the plane took off, there was strong turbulence and a flash of white light. When Yunna woke up again, she was next to a pool of water. She soon realized that she had traveled to another world. In this new world, there were many more men than women. The gender ratio was 30 to 1. Women were very rare, and the government encouraged women to have more than one husband. But sadly, she found out that the person whose body she now lived in was spoiled and reckless. The original owner of the body was rude, selfish, loved to gamble, and had a bad reputation with men.

After arriving in a strange world, Pearl Su had always been very careful. She didn’t dare act recklessly, always keeping a low profile. That was until one day, she couldn’t resist her weakness for good looks and ended up rescuing an incredibly handsome man. She brought him back home, thinking she had done a good deed. But she never expected him to repay her kindness like this. That man, Alaric Yun, stood in front of her with a firm expression and said, “Wife, remember this. For the rest of your life, you belong to the Marquis Residence. You are my wife now.” Pearl Su was shocked. She tried to reason with him, but Alaric Yun wouldn’t listen. He had already made up his mind. Then came Dilwyn Ling, who stood tall and proud in his royal robes, looking at her with a calm but terrifying gaze. “My Crown Princess, you won’t be able to escape me. You are already mine.” Pearl Su clenched her fists. “I didn’t agree to this.” Dilwyn Ling replied, “It doesn’t matter. I did.” Next was Helmer Han, the cold and powerful general, who held his sword in one hand and reached out to her with the other. “Since I like you, you must stay by my side. No one else is allowed to have you.” Pearl Su stepped back, but Helmer Han’s eyes never left her. Then appeared Einar Shi, smiling lazily, his eyes filled with danger. “I’ve taken a liking to you. Don’t even think about running away. You won’t be able to escape from my grasp.” Pearl Su’s heart sank. Each man was more forceful than the last. There was no room to breathe. Finally, Kazys Qing stepped out of the shadows, his voice soft but firm. “You’re the only one who has ever entered my heart. You can’t leave.” Pearl Su looked at them one by one. Their gazes surrounded her like an invisible net. She had just wanted to live peacefully in this world, but now she had become the target of so many powerful men, all determined to keep her by their side. She clenched her jaw. “I didn’t ask for any of this,” she said. But no one seemed to care what she wanted.
