When Does Punk Hazard Start

Kyoline Diego was born of blood, betrayal, and gunfire. Born of a Respectable Made Man, a child who frightened a few but was cherished by all. Her world was destroyed the day her father was assassinated and her family left for dead. Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is. But there's Tenz Jersey, her mafia beau, all tattoos and broken vows, who kisses like sin and lies like the bible. He gives her protection, passion, and anarchy in equal measure. She tells herself he's enough, that he's the only one capable of making the threat feel like home. Until Isaac. Cold. Deadly. Unapologetically deadly. He grabs her and stuffs her into a black SUV, and claims to be a cop, and whisks her off into a game of questioning, control, and cannoli. Only Isaac's not NYPD—he's the mafia's best hitman. And he's staring at her way too hard. He notices what others do not—her quick wit, her raw edges, the fire she keeps hidden under her golden dresses and guarded smiles. He is not trying to save her. He wishes to see how far she will go to save herself. Now Kyoline is caught between two men who both report to the same violent underworld—and both want her for different reasons. One wants to cage her up. The other wants to burn her alive. But the mafia doesn't believe in love. The mafia believes in loyalty. And Kyoline's loyalty might cost her everything—her heart, her freedom, and maybe even her life. In a world where love is poison and trust is a weapon, one girl must decide if she's a pawn in their game… or the queen who burns their kingdom to ashes.

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”

Masculine-presenting, proud, and emotionally guarded, Skylar has one rule never need anyone. Avery Sinclair has everything money can buy status, luxury, a last name that opens doors before she knocks. But privilege doesn’t protect her from silence.

As lines blur and walls close in, the question isn’t whether they’re falling it’s whether they’ll let themselves. Because love between two studs? That’s uncharted. Forbidden. Beautiful.

The ancient evil god that sleeps in the abyss has awakened—an evil that always lurks in the hearts of humans, slowly corroding their minds until madness blooms within misery. In this world where darkness and light coexist, a fully armored dark knight walks through the shadows. Red, tattered tights flutter overhead.

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them."

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

Elena—an effortlessly adored ballerina with a radiant smile and a carefully guarded heart—meets Alexander, a quiet, intimidating car enthusiast who keeps most of his world behind silence and scars. When an unexpected encounter at a house party leads to a shared moment of rare vulnerability, their lives begin to orbit one another in subtle, unspoken ways. Neither of them is looking for connection. She’s used to affection without depth. He’s used to depth without company. But through stalled cars, shared glances in diners, and the kinds of texts that don’t mean much on the surface but say just enough, a quiet companionship begins to grow. They’re just friends. At least that’s what they tell themselves. But sometimes, the quiet speaks louder than anyone expects.

When civilization collapsed, the sky turned red. From the ashes, seven crystals emerged—mysterious, sentient, and dangerously powerful. Cludge was just a thief in the ruins. But after one encounter with Noxon, the Crystal of Erasure, he became the target of the most secretive faction in the wastelands: the Exo-Cult. Hunted. Haunted. Forgotten by time itself. As the line between man and myth begins to blur, Cludge must confront more than just death: he must face the truth of who he is, what his family hid, and why a woman named Izmerin keeps appearing in his path. The war is not between factions. It is between memory... and oblivion
