Kim Na Ri and Han Chae Soo were inseparable, their bond forged over years of being neighbors and the shared laughter of their families. For as long as she could remember, Chae Soo was her constant—a protector, a confidant, and perhaps something more. But everything changed seven months ago, when a tragic accident left Na Ri scarred, not just physically but emotionally. Since then, Chae Soo has been pulling away, his once-warm gaze now cold, his presence a ghost of what it used to be. Enter Lee Yul, the enigmatic new guy with an easy smile and a heart seemingly too kind for this world. Unlike Chae Soo, Yul doesn’t flinch at Na Ri’s scars—he embraces her for who she is, becoming the friend and comfort she didn’t know she needed. But his arrival stirs something in Chae Soo, something he’s kept buried beneath the walls he’s built around himself. As Na Ri tries to navigate the confusing distance from Chae Soo and the blossoming connection with Yul, secrets begin to unravel—secrets that might explain why Chae Soo is so determined to keep her at arm’s length. Is it guilt? Fear? Or something deeper, something he’s too afraid to admit even to himself? In this tale of love, friendship, and hidden truths, "Love At Side" invites you to uncover the reasons behind Chae Soo’s silence and the role Lee Yul plays in Na Ri’s life. Sometimes, the person you’re meant to be with is the one who pushes you away—and the one who stays might not be as perfect as they seem.

Delilah Rivers is an outcast in the Moonhaven Pack due to her mixed human-wolf heritage. Her inability to shift into a wolf and the shame of her mother’s forbidden union make her a constant target of ridicule. Alpha Rowan, her uncle, allows her to stay but treats her with disdain, while her cousin Theo oscillates between pity and resentment. Meanwhile, the werewolf packs are fractured after the royal Goldencrest Pack withdrew from governance decades ago. The Goldencrest Pack, made up of powerful Lycans, is the ruling class of werewolf society. Their absence allowed power-hungry alphas like Rowan to dominate, causing political strife and rogue attacks, and Prince Caspian, heir to Goldencrest, aims to restore unity. When Delilah gets humiliated and rejected by her mate, she decides that she's had enough with her pack and flees. Coincidentally, rogue activity threatens Moonhaven and Caspian gets word of it. He goes to intervene and finds Delilah being threatened by the rouges. At first, he mistakes her for one of them and takes her into his custody, believing that he can get information out of her. But he later realises that not only is she the neice of the Alpha of moonhaven, but she's also his mate, although she can't really sense the mate bond due to her being majorly human. At Goldencrest, Delilah is thrust into a world of power and intrigue. Her fiery spirit clashes with Caspian’s arrogance, masking a growing attraction between them. Caspian is unable to ignore the strings of the mate bond pulling him closer to Delilah, and she has this unexplained attraction towards him. She discovers that it's a new mating bond and she's scared to explore it, after getting rejected once by her mate. While Caspian tries to untangle the rogue issues, she decides to help in her own little way, tired of being seen as weak. This leads her to discover her uncle’s dark secrets: he orchestrated her parents’ deaths to prevent her dormant powers from threatening his rule. Theo is complicit, suppressing Delilah’s abilities to secure his own position in Moonhaven. Caspian and Delilah uncover a conspiracy behind the rogue attacks, led by Lucian, Caspian’s estranged brother. Exiled after a failed rebellion, Lucian seeks revenge and has allied with Rowan to overthrow Goldencrest. As Delilah’s dormant powers awaken, she becomes pivotal in the fight against the rogues. Her dual heritage grants her unique abilities, but it also fulfills a misunderstood prophecy about a half-human werewolf who will either unite or destroy the packs. Theo betrays Delilah, revealing her growing powers to Lucian. Feeling abandoned and doubting herself, Delilah questions her place in the werewolf world. Caspian, torn between love and duty, struggles to trust her. Eventually, they both give into their love and desires and they are fully mated under the moonlight. Things appear peaceful for a while but everything begins to tilt again. A massive rogue attack on Goldencrest forces the divided packs to unite. Delilah’s powers fully manifest, allowing her to shift into a wolf for the first time, but severing her connection to her human side. Her transformation astounds the packs, but it also alienates her from Caspian. During the battle, Delilah confronts Rowan, who reveals his plan to betray Lucian and seize control of the packs. Theo redeems himself by sacrificing his life to protect Delilah, confessing his envy of her strength. In a final confrontation, Delilah sacrifices her human side that she had come to embrace and love to defeat Lucian, fully embracing her wolf side and ensuring the survival of the packs. With Lucian defeated, Delilah and Caspian emerge as leaders of a united werewolf society. Delilah, the once weak and mistreated human is now a celebrated wolf for her bravery and her mating with Prince Caspian. She is able to recover her human side, and her life as the new werewolf queen with the now King Caspian by her side is brighter than her life has ever been.

This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.

A girl named Karin accidentally gets involved in a murder case at her school. It all started when she accidentally found the body of the school janitor behind the warehouse. This piqued her curiosity about what had happened. She still clearly remembers the blood pooling, turning the grass red. The body lay sprawled with several stab wounds. The corpse looked like a small animal, helpless before its predator, dead just like that. Before discovering the body, she crossed paths with a man. A tall man with a mask and dark sunglasses covering his face. The man also wore a hat to cover his hair. His clothes appeared to be layered, and he carried a large bag that seemed very heavy. However, there was something the man could not hide. The clear scent of blood emanating from his body. Karin had a sharp sense of smell and she was certain the odor she detected was blood. Chaos erupted in the school environment. People started forming their own opinions. Karin was the one most affected. She was often questioned about the body she found. People kept asking her to recount the story. At that moment, a new teacher arrived, diverting the attention of the school community. A young teacher with a handsome face that drew everyone's attention. The murder case faded away just like that. The police couldn't find any more clues. When people started to forget, Karin felt something was off. The young teacher looked strange in her eyes. Karin felt that the teacher was constantly watching her. The teacher also had a blacklist that he showed to his students. He said the book was a record for the naughty children. If their offenses exceeded three times, those naughty ones would be punished. That's when the next murder began.
