Noah Kim, a second-year engineering student, has little time for distractions. His world is filled with late-night study sessions, caffeine-fueled deadlines, and the constant pressure of excelling in his rigorous program. But everything changes when he stumbles—literally—into The Roasted Haven, a cozy coffee shop near his university, and meets its enigmatic owner, Elias Carter. Elias, a 30-year-old former corporate worker turned café owner, is everything Noah isn’t—calm, composed, and hiding a mysterious past behind his charming smirk. Drawn into Elias's world of rich espresso, rainy evenings, and stolen glances, Noah finds himself coming back to the café for reasons beyond coffee. As their flirtation deepens into a passionate affair, Noah struggles with his growing emotions and the looming question of what Elias is hiding. When secrets from Elias’s past threaten to tear them apart, Noah must decide—will he walk away, or will he risk everything for the man who has become his greatest temptation? -------------- Excerpt: Noah didn’t know how he ended up in Elias’s apartment above the café, but the heat between them was undeniable. The scent of roasted coffee lingered in the air, mixing with the musk of Elias’s cologne as he pressed Noah against the wooden counter. "You keep coming back," Elias murmured, his fingers tracing Noah’s jaw. Noah swallowed, his heart hammering. "Maybe I like the coffee." Elias chuckled, his breath warm against Noah’s lips. "Liar." And then their mouths crashed together—hot, needy, desperate. Noah gasped as Elias’s hands slid under his hoodie, fingertips skimming the bare skin beneath. Every nerve in his body ignited as Elias lifted him onto the counter, positioning himself between Noah’s legs. "Tell me what you want," Elias whispered, voice low and teasing. Noah shivered. "You." Elias smirked. "Then hold on tight, baby." ------

His training as a security guard didn't cover it, nor did it cover how to deal with running into a hot guy from a past he's trying to hide from, or avoid alien conspiracies when they come knocking. Wait, what? That last one must be wrong, aliens aren't real. ...Right?

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)

Wrote this book a while ago, published it on KDP, awaiting a voiceover, this will be the free version for now, but if you’d want a voice over version to enhance your read, search up my title, there will be a sale soon on the book next month, so feel free to do anything you’d like, or just read straight from here :) "Eternal Iron, Tainted Lands" is a dark, action-packed fantasy novel that plunges readers into a gritty, 19th-century London, where the industrial revolution clashes with ancient, hidden powers. We follow the journey of Thomas, a young boy trapped in a cycle of poverty and abuse, who stumbles upon a secret that will forever alter the course of his life – and potentially, the world. He discovers he possesses a rare connection to an ancient force called the Eternal Spark, granting him the potential for immortality but also marking him as a target. The narrative follows Thomas as he transforms from a frightened child into a powerful, immortal gunslinger known as "The Shadow Weaver." He navigates a dangerous path, honing his abilities by mastering glyphs, an ancient language that allows him to manipulate life force, time, and even the elements. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a need for revenge, Thomas battles corrupt forces, explores the morality of power, and grapples with the chilling lure of chaos. As his understanding grows, he is drawn into a hidden conflict between the Seekers, a group dedicated to understanding and protecting the Eternal Spark, and the Watchers, a mysterious organization that seeks to control it. The lines between good and evil blur as Thomas's journey forces him to confront not only external threats but also the darkness within his own heart. He's forced to confront his path of destruction, and it would lead to change that would be necessary, not for survival, but for a destiny that he could finally control. He learns, he grows, he falls, and he rises again with a new purpose and understanding. "Eternal Iron, Tainted Lands" is a story about transformation, the corrupting influence of power, and the battle between order and chaos. It's a dark fantasy that explores the burden of immortality, the price of change, and the fight to forge one’s own destiny in a world teetering on the brink of the unknown. Readers will find a rich blend of historical atmosphere, brutal action, and deep philosophical questions within its pages. Key Elements: Gritty Historical Setting: The novel uses the backdrop of 1830s London, juxtaposing the industrial advancements of the era with a hidden world of magic and ancient secrets. Complex Characters: Thomas's transformation is central, as he evolves from a victim to a powerful but conflicted individual. Supporting characters like his mother, Silas, the Seekers, and the corrupted Watchers are all compelling in their own right. Magic System: The glyph-based system offers a unique blend of symbolic power, allowing for a wide variety of applications, from physical enhancements to manipulation of time and space. Themes of Power and Corruption: The novel explores the seductive nature of power and its potential to corrupt, testing Thomas's morality as he treads the line between control and chaos. Action and Intrigue: The narrative is filled with brutal battles, chase sequences, and twists that will keep readers engaged.
