When Does Dawson Leave Chicago Fire

A teenage boy finds himself stuck between two worlds-his past and his uncertain future. He's not homesick or broken. He's just... lost. As he navigates a quiet life, where nothing feels right, he begins questioning everything: what life is, why we live, and how we're supposed to survive in a world that doesn't make sense. Through silent hallways, lonely park benches, and disconnected classrooms, he searches not just for meaning-but for someone who understands. A reflective, slow-burn light novel exploring identity, isolation, and the quiet thoughts most of us keep buried.

We are in this new orphanage but why couldn't we leave? Is this house trying to stop us?

I woke up in a cold, prison cell injured and with no memories, only the echo of a name I couldn't place and a pair of storm-dark eyes, haunting my dreams. He told me that I am his queen. That I belonged to him. King Vesperian, the enigmatic king with a smile like sin and a gaze that unraveled me. He pulled me from the shadows and draped me in silks and jewels, swearing I was safe, cherished… loved. But if I was his, why did it feel like I was being watched, studied, played? In a palace wrapped in beauty and secrets, I walk the line between fantasy and fear, drawn to a husband who feels like both protector and captor. The court whispers, the walls close in, and with every fleeting memory that returns, I’m forced to wonder: is this a second chance at love—or the beginning of a dangerous game I already lost once?

Are monsters born or made? Some think monsters are the gods' punishment upon the world for their wrongdoing. Others think it was circumstance that created the monster. The cynical believe some are just born broken beings who could maim and murder without conscience. They were all wrong. I wasn't an accident, a victim of circumstance, or a punishment from the gods. Fools rationalized and tried to find deep meaning where there was none. The truth was, I simply made a choice.

Two great bloodlines-Silverthorne and Vera-once ruled in a delicate balance of power, light and shadow, unity and flame. But betrayal sparked a war that burned across realms, ending in ruin. The Silverthornes were hunted to near extinction, and the veil between worlds-once guarded by ancient magic-was left cracked and bleeding. Scarlet Everen was only nine when it all fell apart. Her memories of that night are hazy: fire in the sky, screams in the dark, her father's final howl, and the feeling of her magic slipping from her like water. Her name, her legacy, her truth-they were buried beneath protective enchantments and the ordinary human world. Raised in the small, seemingly normal town of Thornhollow by her grandmother Lucia, Scarlet has spent years pretending to be just another college student. A girl with secrets. A girl with claws. Now, at twenty-two, Scarlet is beginning to unravel. The supernatural is stirring again-wolves, witches, vampires, and things far darker are surfacing in the halls of Silverthorne University. Students are disappearing. Shadows move where they shouldn't. And a transfer professor, Alec Anders, stalks the edges of Scarlet's world with golden eyes that ignite something long-buried inside her. He knows more than he should. He's dangerous. Familiar. And when their paths collide, Scarlet begins to recover pieces of a childhood she was never meant to remember-and the truth of what she is: not just a werewolf, not just an enchantress, but something rarer. Something hunted. As her powers awaken and long-lost memories begin to resurface, Scarlet is thrust into a web of secrets, betrayals, and burning desire. Torn between the boy who claims to protect her and the one who might destroy her, Scarlet must decide if she's willing to reclaim the fire in her blood... or if hiding in the ashes is safer after all. Because the war never truly ended. And this time, it's coming for her.

Dante Moretti was born to rule; ruthless, calculating, and destined to inherit the empire his father built from blood and silence. He’s kept his emotions buried and enemies buried deeper. But when a deal goes wrong and his path crosses with Elena DeLuca, daughter of the man his family swore to destroy, everything changes. Elena is fiery, unpredictable, and dangerous in all the wrong ways. She shouldn't mean anything to him. But the more he pushes her away, the more she invades his thoughts, and his control. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is weakness, Dante must choose: loyalty to the life that raised him, or the woman who might destroy it. He owns the city. But she might own his soul.

Kamakura Metropolitan University practically worships its resident bad‑boy brood: Akuma Takashi and his hand‑picked trio—Tomo Aizawa, Reiho Tsukishima, Itsuki Moriyama, and Takumi Kisaragi. Handsome, untouchable, and forever bored, they survive on one intoxicating pastime: reckless bets. The whole campus swoons over them, yet something about the quartet feels… off—too polished, too predatory, almost supernatural. It’s a sun‑soaked Thursday when trouble finds them. Akuma lounges in the cafeteria, annotation pen hovering over a battered paperback, when Tomo drops into the seat opposite, eyes gleaming. “Bro,” he drawls, “bet you can’t make the very next person through that door fall hopelessly in love with you.” The glass doors hiss. In walks Kaito Ishikawa—hood up, earbuds in, radiating I‑dare‑you apathy. Once upon a freshman year, he was Reiho’s favorite target; lockers, insults, sucker punches—Kaito endured them all with a single bored blink and a muttered expletive. Reiho flinches at the memory. “Bad call, Tomo. The guy’s got ice water for blood and a tongue like barbed wire.” Itsuki arches a brow; Takumi gives a low whistle. Tomo just smirks wider. Akuma snaps his book shut, eyes tracking Kaito’s deliberate stride. A lazy, dangerous smile curls across his lips. “Challenge accepted,” he murmurs— and in that heartbeat, the game is on. Akuma Takashi is the very definition of breathtaking. With white marble hair that dances with the wind and ocean-blue eyes that could drown you without warning, he’s the kind of beauty that makes people stop mid-step—and girls quite literally beg for his attention. He’s tall—like, stupidly tall—standing at a striking 180 cm, and he knows how to use every inch of it. And then there’s Kaito Ishikawa—just 165 cm of pure, concentrated menace. A short, sharp-tempered little villain, armed with jet-black hair, deep brown eyes, and zero tolerance for bullshit. He’s either buried in a book or glued to his phone, rarely acknowledges class, and yet… he’s always topping the academic charts. How? No one knows. Why? No one dares to ask. Frankly, no one cares—because Kaito doesn’t give a single damn about being understood. He’s chaos in a quiet package. And Akuma? He might be the only one insane enough to unwrap it.

I want to preface it by saying: this is all pointless. This whole report seems unnecessary. I lived it all once, I don’t want to live it again, but I guess I owe it to them don't I.

> "Some people are storms. Others are fire. And then there’s me—I survived both and learned how to burn quietly." Aurora Hayes doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Not anymore. She walks through life with her chin up, lips laced with sarcasm, and a heart locked in vaults no one’s allowed to touch. After all, she's learned that feelings are messy, trust is dangerous, and love is a game no one wins. But then comes Zidane Blackwood — too charming for his own good, with a laugh that lingers and a gaze that holds questions she’s not ready to answer. He’s the last person she wants near her carefully curated chaos. And yet... he’s always there. Behind her in class. Beside her in unexpected moments. Beneath her skin before she realizes it. > "Why do I always end up in your car, Zidane?" "Maybe destiny just really enjoys annoying you." Their connection isn’t sweet. It’s fiery. Chaotic. A flirtatious battlefield with stolen glances, sharp retorts, inside jokes, and emotional landmines. And beneath the layers of humor and hesitation lie two hearts scarred by the past, colliding in a world that never taught them how to heal. Zidane might be the only one who sees past Aurora’s armor. But will she let him close enough to find out what's burning beneath? > "We're not friends." "Then let’s stop pretending. What if we’re something worse?"

| (WFP) #17 Silver Tier Award Winner | After staying up late reading a novel, I woke up in an unfamiliar body and into an unfamiliar world.

Life... What is life? Who defines it? Who decides it? Who conceives it? The truth is that we all have it. Some of us hate it. Some of us don't want to lose it. To some it's... precious. To others it's a burden, it's misery... it's a threat. Life is too complex for us -no- for mere humans to understand. It isn't our choice. It has never been our choice. It will never be our choice. So basically, the only thing left for us to do is to choose. Choose whether to leave it or live it. Though, it's easier said than done.

Have you ever how the 'unique quest chains' are born, how 'mega-rare super-items' just drop out of thin air, and why every random minor character in the starting village is a hidden expert? I am the reason. I am the silently curshing ghost ofthe machine running cogs of 'secret quests', the plot-driving device of destiny, the shepherd to the millions of players that just KNOW that every stone holds a unique opportunity for loot, lore and skills. I am a sole Admin of the greatest DMMO-RPG, partialy AI and a man who holds the great responsibility overseeing the life of the game... With a slight problem though. The game was destroyed a week before it's start. Completely. So now there is no game. There are players, me and million of cheap tricks I honed in my life for the single goal of proving to all of you, that... This game definitely does exist. --- First of all, I post this book on my Patreon. 18 chapters of this book are there - for 3$ it's all yours... Though, of course, I will be posting it for free on this site too. Except I first post them on my Patreon - so now 1 chapter is here - and 19 are there. When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!

Their passionate connection leads to a pivotal moment where Alice's hidden powers awaken, revealing her true identity: she is the long-lost Demon Queen, Nyx.
