"Setiap jiwa membawa cahaya. Tapi bagaimana jika cahayamu berdenyut dalam bayangan?" Di sebuah dunia yang terbentuk dari resonansi jiwa, semua orang dilahirkan dengan lentera jiwa,cahaya batin yang menjadi sumber kekuatan, identitas, dan takdir mereka. Namun Kael, seorang pemuda dari desa sunyi di tepian hutan terlarang, tidak pernah benar-benar menyatu dengan dunia itu. Lentera jiwanya… berbeda. Ia tidak hanya bercahaya, tetapi berdenyut dua kali, dengan warna yang tak pernah disebut dalam dongeng,emas dan ungu. Sebuah kombinasi yang tak dikenal… atau sengaja dilupakan. Saat langkah kakinya menembus batas hutan yang dibenci dan ditakuti, sebuah panggilan bangkit dari tanah, akar-akar lama bergerak, dan mimpi-mimpi yang bukan miliknya mulai membisikkan kebenaran. Kael bukan Chosen One. Ia adalah penyimpangan. Sama seperti satu sosok di masa lalu… yang gagal dan memecah dunia. Sama seperti seorang raja… yang mengurung jiwanya agar dunia tetap utuh. Ketika tanah mulai bereaksi, pohon-pohon membuka mata, dan bayangan dari dalam diri Kael menolak untuk diam, dunia harus memilih: menerima jiwa yang tumbuh dari luka lama… atau mengasingkannya kembali dalam kehancuran. Dan Kael harus bertanya pada dirinya sendiri. Apakah ia akan menjadi pecahan yang sama atau yang terakhir? –––––– Tags: soul cultivation, emotional protagonist, rare soul, awakening, mystery power, legacy weapons, anti-chosen one, tragic past, slow burn, magical realism, dream world, dual soul.

Sebuah kisah so sweet antara laki-laki remaja dengan sifat sedingin Ayanokoji yang bernama Arlen Nessi dan gadis remaja dengan sifat normal seperti gadis lainnya yang bernama Akari Yukino.

Akari, una tranquila estudiante universitaria, arrastra un pasado envuelto en sombras y marcado por una vida muy alejada de lo académico. Antigua operativa de élite, es una maestra del sigilo y la precisión letal, ahora viviendo bajo una nueva identidad, constantemente consciente del poder latente y peligroso que reside en ella. Su mundo de eficiencia calculada se ve inesperadamente interrumpido por Jade, la socialité reinante de la universidad: una mujer carismática con vibrante cabello esmeralda y una notoria reputación de rompecorazones. Jade, acostumbrada a las conquistas sin esfuerzo, inicialmente descarta a Akari como otra "cuatro-ojos" más, una ratona de biblioteca tímida y torpe. Sin embargo, cuando un proyecto grupal las obliga a trabajar juntas, la sorprendente inteligencia de Akari y su honestidad directa comienzan a erosionar la cuidadosamente construida confianza de Jade. Jade se siente inexplicablemente atraída por la inquebrantable compostura de Akari y la profunda seriedad oculta tras sus ojos oscuros e indescifrables. El punto de inflexión llega en una fiesta de bienvenida para novatos, donde Akari encuentra a una Jade muy intoxicada y abandonada por sus compañeras. Akari, con fría eficiencia, toma el control, su presencia dominante guiando sin esfuerzo a Jade a casa. Durante el cuidado desapegado pero íntimo de Akari, Jade experimenta un tacto y una franqueza que nunca antes había encontrado, un marcado contraste con la adulación a la que está acostumbrada. Esta comodidad inexplicable, junto con el sutil pero innegable control de Akari, deja a Jade sintiéndose extrañamente cálida, segura y completamente confundida. A medida que su vínculo se profundiza, los instintos protectores de Akari, perfeccionados en una vida de peligro, se solidifican. Sutil pero poderosamente, ella afirma su presencia, protegiendo instintivamente a Jade de cualquier amenaza percibida. Jade, antes la mujer indomable, se encuentra obedeciendo voluntariamente las órdenes tácitas de Akari, volviéndose sorprendentemente sumisa y profundamente apegada. Se ríe de la inquebrantable seriedad de Akari y encuentra consuelo en su tranquila fortaleza, a menudo buscando consuelo en el regazo de Akari o entrelazando sus dedos. Para Akari, que nunca ha conocido el amor en su sentido convencional, la presencia de Jade se convierte en una nueva y vital coordenada en su mundo meticulosamente ordenado. "Abrazo de Obsidiana" es la historia de dos almas contrastantes: una guardiana fría y letal, perseguida por un pasado peligroso, y una vivaz socialité atraída sin saberlo a un vínculo intenso y protector. Explora cómo una forma única de afecto florece a través de la dominación silenciosa, la vulnerabilidad inesperada y una conexión inquebrantable forjada en las circunstancias más inverosímiles.

Ayla Caddel thought she’d secured her happily ever after when she married Silas Locke, Maple County’s most sought-after entrepreneur. Ten years later? She’s basically the unpaid maid, live-in chef, emotional and physical punching bag… and apparently, the designated doormat for the Locke family. Her friends on the anonymous group chat she’s in: “He cheated on you again?” Ayla: “It’s just… in a man’s nature.” Her uterus: “Girl, I’m literally infertile now.” She sacrifices a six-figure job to stroke Silas’s ego, scrubs toilets with love, and still chips in for groceries — all while her husband is busy playing house with Elena Simmons, his pregnant mistress. One night, Silas brings Elena home like a guest star on a reality show, along with a major business partner and serves her divorce papers like they’re takeout menus. Heartbroken and still too in love to sign the divorce papers, she runs to the rooftop to scream into the night. But before she can figure out whether she’s crying or laughing, she overhears Elena on the phone with another lover and confronts her. Elena’s response? A smile. And a shove. The pavement rushes up to meet her. Her last thoughts? “Maybe I wasn’t the crazy one after all.” Then… darkness. But the next time she opens her eyes, she wakes up, not in a hospital, not in a morgue — but in her bedroom. Seven years before her death. This time? She knows better and carves out a plan not to let death take her again; Step one: Divorce that ‘perfect’ husband. Step two: Never look back. Step three: Absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for any man ever again— Wait. Who’s clinging to her hips like a love-struck octopus? Ezra Hale, Silas’ oh-so-dignified business partner, has entered the chat. Turns out, Ezra was never interested in Silas’s business. He only stuck around because of her. And the day Ayla died, he crashed his car into a truck and followed her into death with a broken heart. Now? He’s back. Seven years earlier. With one goal in mind: “This time, I’m not letting you marry that idiot.” Miles Penner: “Sir, the shareholders are watching.” Ezra: “Let them. I’m busy hugging my future wife.” And just like that, Ayla’s carefully crafted revenge plan hits a tiny bump in the road… Named Ezra Hale.

"Pernahkah terbesit dalam benakmu, apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi pasca-kematian? Menurut ajaran agama, jiwa manusia akan dikirim menuju alam akhirat—sebuah alam ruhani atau alam jiwa. Di sana, jiwa akan diadili berdasarkan setiap perbuatan semasa hidupnya; jiwa yang dipenuhi kebaikan akan membuahkan surga, tempat di mana keindahan, kedamaian, dan kenikmatan tak terbayangkan menanti. Sementara jiwa yang berlumur kejahatan akan disiksa di neraka, suatu tempat dengan api menyala dan panas membara yang akan menghukum pendosa dengan siksaan yang amat pedih. Itulah keyakinan yang mengakar, sebuah siklus takdir yang konon tak terelakkan. Namun, bagi Kylie Minogue, seorang penulis ternama yang karya-karyanya mengukir namanya di puncak popularitas, garis takdir itu justru terhapus. Saat ajal menjemput, jiwanya, entah mengapa, dirinya tidak diadili di dunia akhirat untuk mengukur amal baik atau buruknya. Sebaliknya, jiwa penulis itu terlepas, melayang bebas menembus batas-batas sistem tata surya, menuju kehampaan kosmik yang tak terjamah. Namun Kini, setelah jiwanya terlepas dari segala hukum fisika dan metafisika, apa yang menanti jiwa seorang author di hamparan kehampaan itu? Petualangan kosmik macam apa yang akan membentang di hadapannya? Dan, akankah ia menemukan tujuan baru dalam eksistensinya yang melampaui kematian, atau justru tersesat abadi dalam narasi tak terbatas semesta?" ikuti kisahnya hanya di novel ini!!!

One minute, he was scrolling memes. The next? Crushed by a piano and yeeted into the afterlife. Enter System 707: snarky, glitchy, and very much not interested in customer service. Now stuck in the Multi-Existence Synchronization Protocol - aka: “die, jump worlds, survive if you can” - our unlucky (...or lucky?) protagonist is reincarnating across increasingly unhinged realities. Skills transfer, memories stick, and dying? Unfortunately still on the menu. He never signed up for romance, but fate (and System 707's terrible sense of humor) keeps throwing him into tangled soul-deep connections with the same man - or versions of him, over and over again. One world at a time, one sarcastic reboot later, he’s realizing the rules of existence aren’t just broken - they’re personalized chaos. Fall in love. Try not to die. And whatever you do, don’t piss off the system. Because dying once is unfortunate. Dying again? That’s just Tuesday.

What happens when memory bends too far?Some say the past is unbreakable. But if that were true, why does it feel like it is already slipping away? The past is not lost. It is rewritten. Hatim’s mastery of Akar was meant to shape his destiny, yet each lesson pulls him further from truth and closer to something else. Memory is not eternal. It is fragile. And once it bends, it never remains the same. "In the depths of the Fountain, memory is never lost—it is rewritten. Again and again."

What is growth? Is it learning from mistakes? Walking through the tides of luck and misfortune as time drags you forward? Or is it choosing to embrace the future with an open mind—regardless of what you've lost? Then what would you call my path? I’ve grown through regression. I’ve chosen my own luck. I’ve endured misfortune and forged a resolve that refuses to break. Now, I aim for the pinnacle of existence. [Simulation Menu Unlocked] Simulation Anchor Point Detected. Anchor: ???

Riku Thanawan is a prodigy born into violence. At just seventeen, he’s already survived countless underground fights, trained under brutal street legends, and earned the nickname "The Silent Fist"—because he never speaks in the ring. But behind the cold stare and bloodied fists is a boy who never chose this life. Dragged into the underground MMA world by a father obsessed with power, Riku only knows one thing: fight, survive, repeat. He doesn’t care about titles. He doesn’t care about fame. All he wants is to escape the endless violence and find meaning in a life outside the cage. That fragile hope arrives in the form of Akari Misaki, a quiet, kind classmate who doesn’t flinch when she sees his broken hands and bruised face. Her warmth begins to thaw something Riku thought was long dead. But in a world where weakness is death, love is a luxury he can’t afford. When a new underground tournament begins—one that pits the deadliest fighters across the city in brutal, unsanctioned combat—Riku is forced to step back into hell. His fists become his voice. His silence becomes his weapon. And his path to freedom is paved with shattered bones and spilled blood. In this world, emotion is a weakness—but maybe, just maybe, it’s what makes him human. --- “I don’t fight to win. I fight to stop fighting.” — Riku Thanawan

But though I am curious how my twins are living right now, I can't believe that me and my mom's life, would join into their life too. I just hope they don't caught on to me and my mom's secret! I am no longer Ai Hoshino, but now Ai Hayaki! And this is the life of me and my super duper awesome mom! This is a fanfiction of the anime Oshi no ko! Wednesday or Saturday! (There's a chance I will post 2 chapters a week, but if I don't post on Wednesday, it means ill post on Saturday!) Want to thank you in advance for those who will read! I recommend you guys watch Oshi no ko to understand, but if not, here is a short summary!(but its okay if not since ill add a bit of backstory of each that's connected to the original) Spoiler Alert! Ai Hoshino is an idol who gave birth to twins, Aqua and Ruby, but she needs to keep it a secret so that her fame won't drop and that she can continue being an idol. She loves her children so much but sadly got stabbed in front of her son aqua(Btw the twins were her fans in their past life but when they died, they reincarnated into her babies). So Ai then died, and aqua has a goal to find his father(which is the killer) by joining acting(Aqua is really good at acting), while Ruby is doing idol stuff to become like her mom, Ai.

(I will add that storyline somewhere in the future chapters hehe) Hope you enjoy my story, Peace. Edit: I just realized that I accidentally included this for the spirity awards HAHAHHAHA!

Might post it next month tho :D) I made a Twitter account you can follow named- @abe_writes - you can follow if you want :D '_'

“The girl I love… was actually a monster.” Akari’s life was supposed to be simple: go home, meet a family friend’s daughter, survive an awkward dinner, and call it a day. But when she wakes up next to a mysterious and seductive girl named Saya—with no memory of the night before and a suspicious red stain on the sheets—her world begins to unravel. Saya is charming, dangerous, and far too interested in Akari. She drives a Lamborghini like it’s a rollercoaster, kisses like a thief, and holds secrets darker than her playful smile suggests. Then, the sky breaks. As the world plunges into chaos, Akari realizes the girl in her bed may not just be a bad decision… but the very thing that ends reality. Nations rise, the earth shatters, and the line between love and destruction begins to blur. Who is Saya Amano? And why does the apocalypse begin with her smile?

Di hutan terpencil Bukit Tunduan, satu demi satu nyawa melayang secara misteri. Laporan kehilangan, mayat tanpa wajah, dan jeritan malam menjadi mimpi ngeri penduduk sekitar. Polis diarahkan menyiasat — dan pegawai khas Adam dihantar ke lokasi. Tapi bagi Adam, misi ini bukan sekadar tugas… ia peribadi. Zara, rakan sekolah yang dulu sering bertelingkah dengannya — kini hilang di hutan itu. Mereka pernah benci. Tapi di sebalik benci itu, cinta diam-diam berbunga… yang belum sempat berakar. Semasa operasi menyelamat, Adam mula mendengar bisikan yang bukan dari manusia. Dia menemui lukisan mengerikan, ayat-ayat ghaib diukir atas kulit pokok, dan bayang hitam yang memerhati tanpa suara. Zara ditemui — hidup. Tapi berubah. Dia sering termenung, bercakap dalam tidur, dan tubuhnya mengeluarkan bau aneh. Adam cuba melindunginya… namun semakin mereka mendekati kebenaran, semakin jelas: Zara mungkin bukan lagi sepenuhnya Zara. Dalam keheningan hutan, makhluk itu memanggil. Bukan dengan suara, tapi dengan kenangan, trauma, dan dosa. Dan tidak semua yang hilang mahu diselamatkan. > “Dan janganlah kamu mendekati syaitan. Sesungguhnya syaitan itu musuh yang nyata bagimu.” (Surah Al-Baqarah: 208)

[Welcome Z-Streamer H48VW3. Your Stats have been evaluated and your rank is... E] 'The day I heard this, I had thought those words were the symphony of my death sentence. But when I looked up my System, I discovered that entering the Tower was not my end, but only the beginning.' [Name: Mee Min-ho, Rank: E] [Affinities, Equipment] [Inventory, Shop] [Coins: 0] [Developer Options] 'Developer options?' Min-ho stood shocked, wondering what this strange option was on his System menu. *** No one remembers when the Z-Tower appeared. One day, it tore the sky open — a spire of stone and lightning, challenging the gods themselves. Its purpose is a mystery. But to the world, it’s legend. Salvation for the desperate. A graveyard for the greedy. Every three years, the Tower opens. And every three years, the bold — Z-Streamers — step inside. They fight monsters, traps, and each other, risking their lives for views, glory, and unimaginable fortune. Most never return. Min-ho didn’t want glory. He wanted peace. But with debts crushing him, and a sister struggling for her life in a hospital bed, he had no choice but to enter the Tower’s deadly games. Fate handed him one chance: a broken System. A glitch that lets him steal the Sponsored Gifts of other Z-Streamers. Armed with this dangerous power, Min-ho begins his climb — stealing, scheming, surviving. But the Tower is watching. And the Tower doesn’t forgive those who cheat its game. *** Disclaimer: As an author and story lover, I value relationships and character dynamics above all else. At its core, this story is about people—how they struggle, grow, and endure together. That means the early chapters lean more toward setup and emotional groundwork. In other words, this will be a slow burner at first. But trust me—when it hits, it hits hard. Thanks for giving it a shot. Happy reading! :)
