Or will the secrets consume everyone she loves?

Noel likes his world quiet, clean, and perfectly organized. He’s the kind of guy who alphabetizes his books, avoids eye contact, and considers a wild night one where he reads past midnight. Drama? Not his thing. Parties? Pass. Sharing a dorm with a chaotic stranger? Just another obstacle to endure—hopefully, temporarily. Enter Luca: flirtatious, chaotic, and chronically shirtless. A walking disaster with too many admirers and not enough awareness, he leaves messes—and broken hearts—wherever he goes. Loud, reckless, and charming, he’s everything Noel can’t stand… and somehow, everything he can’t stop noticing. What starts as a clash of lifestyles soon turns into late-night conversations, innocent pranks, and lingering stares. Somewhere between eye rolls and shared ramen, their rivalry begins to blur—until even Noel can’t deny his quiet little world feels empty without Luca. Noel wonders why his heart skips a beat whenever Luca’s near. And Luca? He’s realizing the one person who doesn’t fall for his charm might be the only one who truly sees him. Falling in love was never part of the roommate agreement—but hearts don’t follow house rules. --- Vibes & Tropes: Grumpy x Sunshine Forced Proximity Mutual Pining & Slow Burn Sass, Snark, and Secret Softness Movie nights, pranks, cuddles, and the accidental love story

**MATURE Themes, Language, & Content** “Wait, this has to be a joke... I’m expected to share a dorm room with a man? I was supposed to room with other women!” She screeched while holding the sides of her head. “A man?” The male eyed her up and down, “Did you think I was human?” “Of course, you’re human. Things like vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, and such don’t exist. So, what else could you be other than a human being?! Don’t be preposterous!” “Last I checked, demons exist,” he coldly replied, looking offended. She snorted as she crossed her arms in disbelief, “What? You expect me to believe that? Yeah, right... Are you trying to tell me that you’re like a demon or something?”. “LIKE a demon? No, no... I AM a demon, and my name is Xinith,” he lowered his voice as he crossed the room toward her. She stepped back until her back was against the door, “That is utter bullshit. Now back up, you creep!” “No,” he said in a much lower tone, “not until you believe me. Do you want proof? Then say that magic word you humans like to use so much to find us.” One of her hands was reaching into her back pocket, where she kept a small pepper spray bottle. He noticed her hand and gripped her wrist tightly, enough that he overpowered her and pinned not just one, but both of her wrists overtop her head. “You shouldn’t have done that, little one,” he growled, his face nearing hers. The room suddenly felt like it was closing in on her. Her heart was racing, and it felt like it was in a pinball machine, causing physical pain in her chest. Her lungs felt like they were drowning, and her eyesight kept fading in and out. She immediately tried thrashing herself around but to no avail. She was having a panic attack, and he was the cause of it. --- Alex was ready to start the next chapter of her life: College! Little did she know that the administration would mistake her for being a male student and place her in the men’s dorm because of her name. She gets stuck with the single suite that has only one bedroom but two beds! Even worse, she finds out that her dormmate is a demon?! What would happen if the two had a budding romance? Is her demon dormmate just using his powers to lure her in, or is she feeling something real? Only time will tell...

Will you see the truth once you stop looking at the past through rose-colored glasses? Back in college, Lyn, Brad, and Alexander were thick as thieves. That’s the story they tell, anyway. But beneath the easy smiles and late-night shenanigans, hooded desires and quiet betrayals loom. The last night spent at their college dorm before following their separate ways sets the stage for everything to blow up in their faces. Years later, a reunion, a wedding, and a long-overdue confession crack open the past. But closure isn’t always clean, and as Lyn struggles to make sense of the aftermath, he can’t stop wondering.

Claude is a rogue werewolf who will become the Alpha’s mate. He just doesn’t know he is building a world with someone his family warned him about. Raised away from a pack, Claude has lived among the humans in secrecy. Attending school and living in a dorm with his best friend… Claude figures his life will be as plain as he planned. However, his plan falls apart with just one frat party, dancing with the city pack’s newly designated Alpha. A tug-of-war ensues between his mind, which wants to keep him safe, and his heart, which just wants Len for himself. Similarities to real people and events are coincidental.

In a world where scent defines social standing, Omegas are supposed to be soft, docile, and protected. But Rayan has never trusted anyone enough to allow that. He keeps his scent suppressed, lives under fake documents, and never lets his guard down — not even in front of his best friend, Kael. Kael is an Alpha. Calm. Charismatic. Beautiful. The kind that turns heads and breaks hearts — yet for years, he's stayed faithfully by Rayan's side, never crossing a line. But when Rayan goes into a surprise heat — in a locked-down campus dorm — the bond of “just friends” shatters. Now, Rayan doesn’t just have to deal with his paranoia. He has to survive Kael’s carefully hidden obsession. Because the best friend who never left his side… Was never really sane to begin with.

“Alpha Troy! Over here!” I yelled, raising my hand for help. I was under attack by a monster while saving my mates. The four of them heard me cry out as the creature clawed me and slammed me against the wall. “Help me!” I gasped, but their attention shifted when a soft cry came from the other side. It was Oriana, the gentle princess and a warrior, a combination most men lusted after. But not my mates. They were in my troupe, my friends, my lovers. We shared a bed, a bond. I knew they would save me. “Ohhh! I’m going to die,” she whimpered again, though she could have stood up easily. The monster’s focus was on me. “Yorick!” I screamed, reaching for another of my mates, struggling to escape, my leg tangled in silver chains. My mates looked at me and then at her—and I saw it. The shine of love in their eyes. In a heartbeat, they ran to her. My heart slowed. Tears welled up. Oriana had warned me: when it came down to it, they would choose her. She told me they only used me to pass time in the dorm room because I agreed for gangbang while other she-wolves did not. And now, right before my eyes, they were leaping into battle—for her. “We’ll come back for you, don’t worry,” Haiden shouted, as if that erased the betrayal. At that moment, the monster turned back to me. And I knew there would be no saving me. So I prayed they’d live long enough to regret their choice. --- Clementine had spent her life as the insufferable daughter of an alpha—tough, rebellious, and uninterested in love, especially in a world where male wolves were allowed multiple mates. Tired of her attitude, her stepmother forced her into an academy built to train fighters against deadly monsters. On her first day, Clementine was shocked to find her roommates were the worst people from her past: -Alpha Yorick, her bitter ex-boyfriend -Alpha Troy, her ex–best friend who believed she betrayed him -Alpha Haiden, the bully who had made her life hell -And Alpha Ian, her former cellmate who thought she manipulated him into punishment They all seemed to want revenge. But when they fought side by side on the battlefield, something strange happened–Clementine felt a mate bond with all of them. At first, things turned steamy. Hatred became desire. Tension turned into passion. But then, Clementine saw the truth: when it came down to it, they would always choose someone else over her. To them, she had only ever been a distraction, a toy to share and throw away.

It all starts with a bug in the code. An NPC that shouldn't exist... but does. Every tweak makes him stronger. Every limitation, more unpredictable. At first, nothing seems to make sense. The logic twists, the narrative unravels... but something keeps you from stopping reading. Until, suddenly, everything clicks. And that's when the story hits you. Because now, he's unstable. He's rational and emotional at the same time. He's the protagonist... and it's too late to escape.

Room 304 was supposed to be a college safe haven, a chaotic blend of introverts and extroverts, thinkers and feelers, strategists and idealists, all learning to live (barely) in harmony. Bound by academic stress, late-night debates, emotional breakdowns, and spontaneous glitter explosions, this group of mismatched roommates becomes an unlikely family. But when anonymous notes start appearing, cryptic, targeted, and increasingly hostile. Their carefully balanced dynamic begins to crack. Trust falters. Tension rises. Secrets start surfacing. Told through alternating chapters, each focusing on a different member of the dorm, Cognitive Code paints an intimate portrait of sixteen unique minds each inspired by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Without ever explicitly naming their types, the story lets readers experience how cognitive patterns influence identity, communication, and relationships. From the emotionally reserved Observer who sees more than he says, to the romantic idealist who hides her truths in poetry, to the sparkplug extrovert who refuses to let anyone fall apart alone, every character is a code waiting to be cracked. This is a story of connection in chaos. Of love, logic, and learning how to exist beside people wildly different from you and sometimes frighteningly the same. Because the hardest thing about understanding people… is realizing how much of yourself you see in them.

Pixel Dreams, Real Code In a world where digital entertainment reigns supreme, college freshman **Ethan** dreams of making games that resonate, that truly connect with players on a deeper level. But as a lone indie developer in his cramped dorm room, armed with a clunky old PC and a mountain of student debt, his ambitions seem like an impossible fantasy. That is, until he stumbles upon the **ADJ System**, an enigmatic that promises to be his ultimate partner in creation. The ADJ System isn't magic; it doesn't write code or conjure art from thin air. Instead, it's a meticulously crafted **Assistant for Development and Gaming**, offering unparalleled **insight into player trends**, pinpointing **hidden inefficiencies in his code and design**, and even identifying **undiscovered talent** among his peers. With the ADJ's analytical prowess, Ethan gains a powerful edge, allowing him to see the hidden potential in forgotten genres, optimize his development process with surgical precision, and understand player feedback like no one else. From humble beginnings designing charmingly buggy simulation games, Ethan faces the real-world grind: debugging lines of spaghetti code, wrestling with stubborn texture exports, battling frustrating lag, and striving for pixel-perfect optimization. Each crash, every piece of critical feedback, and every late-night coding session becomes a vital lesson. With every challenge, the ADJ guides him, not by giving answers, but by illuminating the path to his own solutions. This isn't a tale of an overnight sensation or a chosen hero. It's the raw, authentic journey of a regular student pouring his heart and soul into his passion. It's about the quiet grind, the thrill of discovery, and the profound satisfaction of transforming digital dreams into tangible experiences. Can Ethan, armed with his fierce dedication and a system built on insight, truly forge a path to greatness and leave his mark on the vast landscape of gaming?

Rowan Takeda expected a quiet freshman year—maybe some sketching, maybe some girls, definitely no weapons-grade AIs. But that was before the ICS Lightning chose him. Now he's Avalon Naval Institute’s first male Captain in over a decade… and his life is a full-blown firestorm. At Avalon, the cadets are the weapons: beautiful, brilliant, and bonded to living warships with more firepower than most nations. Rowan just wanted to keep his head down, but after crash-landing (literally) into the wrong dorm room—occupied by a half-dressed German dreadnought—he's declared a pervert, challenged to a formal duel, and suddenly has the entire academy watching his every move. The good news? He’s got Lightning: a flirty, high-spec AI with a taste for chaos and an unhealthy interest in his love life. The bad news? Every Captain here is armed to the teeth, emotionally volatile, and drop-dead gorgeous. And some of them are starting to take a little too much interest in the new boy with the killer instincts and the soft heart. Explosions, duels, emotional confessions, and skin-tight sync suits—Rowan’s going to have to fight to survive, outmaneuver old rivalries, and figure out if falling in love with a battleship is more dangerous than war itself. This is college. This is combat. This is My Life as a Collegiate Battlecruiser.

Sinopse – “Sob o Ruído da Cidade” Em um mundo onde quase todos nascem com individualidades — habilidades únicas que moldam carreiras, status e sobrevivência —, ser forte não é mais uma escolha. É uma sentença. Kael Arashi não quer salvar o mundo. Nem destruí-lo. Com seus poderes — ele vive à margem da sociedade, longe dos holofotes da Associação de Heróis, longe dos vilões mascarados. Seu único objetivo? Tornar-se forte o bastante para viver em paz, sem depender de ninguém. Mas a cidade nunca dorme. Enquanto Kael tenta desaparecer nas sombras da metrópole, uma nova ameaça cresce em silêncio. Um homem sem poderes, nascido da dor e do abandono, constrói um exército a partir dos esquecidos — e jura apagar o mundo das individualidades, custe o que custar. Dois caminhos distantes.

Liang Zhenyu never believed in ghosts. That is, until he was assigned to Room 404—the only vacant room in the eerie, crumbling Xiao Meng Dormitory. The elevator doesn’t reach the fourth floor. The back stairwell carries incense in the air and rules whispered too late. Inside the room? Four spirits await him: a dorm warden who died in 1852, a 90s schoolgirl obsessed with Jay Chou, a grandma who feeds sleeping guests, and a red-robed woman who sweeps shadows in silence. But they aren’t the scariest part. Something—or someone—watches Zhenyu from the eastern hallway. A girl with jasmine-scented hair and a gaze that feels like a memory from another life.

And Zhenyu must choose: survive the haunting… or uncover the truth that binds him to them— and to her. — Dark, romantic, and laced with absurdity, Dormitory on the Fourth Floor is a supernatural tale where horror and humor walk hand-in-hand, and love lingers… even after death.

Takara Minami has always been a burst of light in the darkest rooms—talkative, expressive, and stubbornly hopeful even after losing nearly everything. When he transfers to a prestigious high school and moves into the dorms, he’s forced to share a room with the last kind of person he can understand: Kayo Tsukishiro. Quiet. Reclusive. Precise. A boy with headphones always on and eyes that never quite meet his. At first, they clash. Loud meets quiet. Chaos meets control. But over late-night arguments, silent dinners, and the fragile intimacy of shared space, something begins to grow—something that looks a lot like friendship. Maybe even more. As their lives intertwine and they move through school, loss, distance, and first heartbreaks, Takara and Kayo learn that love isn’t just the fire between opposites—it’s the slow burn of choosing someone again and again, even when it’s hard. Even when it means letting go. Years later, fate brings them back together—older, bruised, changed. Living across the hall from each other in a Tokyo apartment building, they’re faced with the echoes of what was and the question that never really died: Can you still fall in love with the person who once broke your heart—if they’ve become someone new? A coming-of-age, slow-burn boy’s love story about grief, healing, and the long road to choosing love with your whole self. "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”
