But just when Nova thinks she’s found something untouched by her bloodstained world, the truth surfaces: Andrew’s parents died in a fire set by none other than her father. Now he can’t look at her without seeing flames. And she can’t look at herself without feeling like the villain. Can love survive the sins of a family? Or will the fire that brought them together… tear them apart?

"The most primal human desire isn’t money or fame—it’s the will to live." I shared that desire once But death claimed me. As I thought that was the end, I woke up not in heaven or hell But inside the last novel I read. Not as the hero Not even as a sidekick. But as the "Disgraced One" The guy meant to be forgotten —an outcast Was I disappointed? Not really. After all, the protagonist is destined to win. All I had to do was stay out of the way, survive, and let him handle the final boss. At least, that’s what I thought... But the system dropped a bombshell on me with a revelation.

[Warning: Smut content, R18, Mature, MILF, Harem, No Yuri, No rape] Evan Drakos, a 19-year-old fresh recruit at the prestigious Archeline Battle Academy, was ready to train, fight, and carve his name among the strongest. But thanks to a simple typo, his name was mistakenly entered as Eva Drakos, landing him in an all-female dorm. At first, Evan didn’t think much of it, but things quickly take a strange turn when he discovers the shocking truth. Every single one of his dormmates is a succubus! As if that wasn’t enough, the academy’s system suddenly goes haywire when evaluating Evan. Instead of placing him in one of the four houses, it declares him compatible with all of them. Then comes the biggest bombshell—the system claims he is the descendant of the Demon King! Now, Evan finds himself entangled in a web of conspiracies, supernatural politics, and temptations he never expected. How did a simple mistake turn Evan’s life upside down? Is he really the Demon King’s heir, or is there something even more sinister at play? Also… why do all the succubi in his dorm seem to have a crush on him?

Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly "Why do I have to be put through all this?" "Am just carrying out an assignment." the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time. "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?". The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..." He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling. "Your dad wants you dead sweetheart." He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell, leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion. "That can't be true." She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks. She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes. She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting... "Isn't it meant to hurt a little?.. Or is she dead already.." She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... What she saw was overwhelming... Her killer was on the floor instead... She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine.... Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut... She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. "What's going on?" A very confused Lin whispered, "Just follow me." The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole. Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. The lady turned and gave a smirk. "You were quite strong at first." And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, "Am not letting you go this time."

Iris Wren has spent years holding the pieces together—after losing her family, after watching her brother die, after becoming the adult in a home with a guardian too shattered to speak most days. The world thinks she’s doing fine. They don’t know she works three jobs, can’t sleep without the closet light on, and draws the same pair of brown eyes in every sketch. Lucian is the only thing that makes sense. He understands her silence. Knows how to find her when she hides. Says the things no one else does. They meet at the edge of her breaking point, when she's numb and just starting a new school. No one questions him. Not her teachers, not the barista who takes both their orders, not even her. But as the year unfolds, as she begins to connect with a classmate who refuses to let her vanish, and as Lucian begins glitching in ways that feel off, Iris starts to question what’s real. The truth is simple, devastating, and silent. Lucian never existed. But the pain he helped her survive? That was always real.

Yeon-Jun is a dedicated barista at a quaint cafe operated by Sung-Hoon Cha, the son of the man who once saved Yeon-Jun's life. He grapples with selective mutism, a condition that emerged after the traumatic experience of witnessing his parents' tragic death. Although the details of his past have faded from his memory, his body retains the imprint of those painful events. It was during this darkest chapter of his life that Sung-Hoon's father discovered him alone and heartbroken, offering him shelter and a semblance of safety. Despite never having envisioned a future as a barista, Yeon-Jun made a solemn promise to Sung-Hoon's father on his deathbed—to forever stand by his side. This vow compelled Yeon-Jun to forsake his own aspirations and instead pursue a life marked by unrelenting work and perpetual anxiety. Conversely, Woo-San Kim is the affluent CEO of K&L Entertainment, a company steeped in legacy as he belongs to an illustrious lineage of chaebols, being an eighth-generation heir poised to inherit substantial assets from his grandfather. Like Yeon-Jun, Woo-San has also faced the grief of losing both parents to illness, which has led to a strained relationship with his controlling grandfather. The elder Kim holds steadfast to his authority, adamantly refusing to relinquish the company, opting instead to orchestrate a competition among Woo-San, his half-brother, and his cousin for the right to inherit the family fortune. Throughout his childhood, Woo-San has been accompanied by Hee-Jun Go, a devoted friend and secretary who was rescued by Woo-San's father. Hee-Jun, having been separated from his own family at a young age, appreciates the depth of loyalty and friendship. In a heartfelt gesture, Woo-San offers to help Hee-Jun locate his long-lost brother, during which he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Yeon-Jun at the café, captivated by the quiet strength and resilience hidden beneath Yeon-Jun's struggles. However, when Woo-San’s grandfather learns of his burgeoning feelings for Yeon-Jun, he delivers a menacing ultimatum: marry someone of his grandfather's choosing or face disinheritance. Feeling cornered with little left to lose, Woo-San contemplates capitulating to the marriage arrangement, all the while suspecting that his grandfather is orchestrating a more sinister plot that preys on Woo-San's unresolved trauma, compelling him to wrestle for his inheritance. As tensions rise within this power dynamic, Woo-San feels an undeniable connection to Yeon-Jun, yet finds that Yeon-Jun’s condition renders him unable to express his own feelings. Desperate to flee the confines of the forced marriage, Woo-San resolves to turn his grandfather's manipulative tactics against him. In this quest for autonomy, he uncovers unsettling truths that extend far beyond his own life, jeopardizing not only his future but also deeply affecting Hee-Jun, Sung-Hoon, and even his grandfather himself. Faced with this newfound knowledge—one he wishes he could unlearn—Woo-San must grapple with difficult decisions. Will he risk exposing his own vulnerabilities to protect Yeon-Jun? Will he succumb to his grandfather’s wishes to secure his inheritance, or will he forge a path driven by empathy and commitment to those who have become family to him? The weight of these revelations threatens to alter the course of their lives forever. Author's Note: I apologize if this gets a delayed update. My country decided to randomly go to war this Tuesday and I live near the border. So, yeah.

In the shining metropolis of New Osaka, the elite rule with gold-plated lies and silver-tongued deception. Behind their lavish towers and polished smiles festers a world of corruption — unseen, unchecked, and unstoppable. But in the shadows, justice has a new name: Silver Guardian. No one knows who he is. No one knows why he fights. All they know is that when the corrupt rise too high, he tears them down — one system at a time. By day, he’s Kaito Renshiro, a sleepy, sarcastic college student who can barely make it to class on time. By night, he’s a high-tech vigilante waging a one-man war against the hidden elite, exposing the rot at the heart of society. As Silver Guardian dismantles the underworld piece by piece, his actions draw the attention of four very different women — each with their own secrets, connections, and reasons to get involved: Aika Tsukino, the perfect student council president… and daughter of a corrupt senator. Reina Takahashi, a tech genius obsessed with unmasking the Silver Guardian. Miyu Kanzaki, a deadly assassin sent to kill him… who starts questioning everything. Sora Amemiya, the cheerful barista with a haunting past and a mysterious calm. Together — or perhaps against him — they become entangled in a web of romance, danger, and hilarious misunderstandings.

And it's watching him back. Can one man save the world… without ever revealing who he really is?

A clumsy, hopelessly romantic barista named Ellie accidentally sends a heartfelt love confession text meant for her crush to a complete stranger, an aloof, cynical screenwriter named Max who’s struggling with writer’s block and a messy personal life.

In a creaky old apartment tucked between two gentrified cafés in a city that pretends monsters don't exist, five supernatural beings share rent, ramen, and regret. * Vlad, the vampire, is a centuries-old former aristocrat trying to adapt to modern life, he still writes with a quill and thinks TikTok is a magic spell. * Roxy, the werewolf, is an anxiety-riddled barista who’s terrified of full moons and group projects. * Casper, the ghost, is a cheerful, overly positive soul who died in the '80s and never quite figured out how to leave, or stop decorating with neon posters. * Luce, the demon, left Hell’s corporate ladder to “find themselves” and now freelances as a life coach with a temper problem. * Tansy, the witch, is the oldest of them all and runs a crystal shop on Etsy. She’s calm… unless someone touches her cauldron. Every Sunday night, they gather in the living room with snacks, bad coffee, and one goal: don't kill each other or the neighbors. They call it “Roommate Support Group.” It’s cheaper than therapy, and sometimes messier. Together, they deal with rent hikes, haunted plumbing, exes showing up in summoning circles, and the existential crisis of being immortal in a world that keeps moving forward. But in between the chaos, they learn something scarier than any curse: healing.

What if the only way to move forward… was to fake your past? That’s the dilemma facing Calla Rivera, a broke barista with a secret—she used to be someone else. Years ago, Calla walked away from a powerful crime family and buried her identity under a new name, a new city, and a painfully honest life. But when a viral video of her saving a customer goes public, her old world comes knocking… in the form of Leo Castellano, her former fiancé and heir to the criminal empire she abandoned. Leo has a proposition: pretend they’re still together to secure a billion-dollar merger. The perks? Luxury penthouses, designer wardrobes, and a paycheck that could solve all of Calla’s problems. The downside? Leo is as infuriating as he is magnetic—and playing house with him stirs up old feelings she can’t afford to feel. As Calla is pulled deeper into the illusion, the lines blur. Is she acting—or falling again? And when a rival family discovers her reappearance, the real danger begins. Because in Leo’s world, love isn't the most dangerous thing. Trust is.

The Boy in the Café is a tender boys’ love story about identity, acceptance, and the courage it takes to shine as your true self, even when the world is watching.

"Decided to continue" Troy was just your average guy: part-time barista, full-time sarcasm machine, until he found himself accidentally summoned to another world by a bunch of middle-aged cultists. The kicker? They thought he was the Ultimate Villain, the prophesied bringer of doom, all because he happened to be wearing foam demon horns for a costume party. Surprise! He wasn’t the dark lord they were looking for... but he did get some seriously overpowered skills in the process. Now stuck in a fantasy world where everyone either wants to worship him or assassinate him, Troy decides he's not playing by anyone else's rules. With a unique blend of absurd luck, hidden powers, and a talent for improvising magic like a toddler with fireworks, he’s carving his own path: one fireball, awkward battle, and poorly timed one-liner at a time. Will Troy become the villain everyone expects, the hero no one saw coming, or just the most chaotic wildcard this world has ever seen? One thing’s for sure: world domination was never on his to-do list… until now.

The hum of the coffee shop was like any other a blend of clinking cups, hushed conversations, and the soft swish of the barista’s apron as they moved behind the counter. Adrian strode in, his sharp gaze barely flicking toward the order board as he walked past the line of people. His mind was preoccupied, his phone held firmly in one hand, eyes scanning through an email from his company’s legal team. He was too distracted by his thoughts to notice the petite figure standing in his path until it was too late. A gasp broke through the air, followed by the unmistakable sound of liquid splashing. Adrian's body jerked, the scalding hot coffee sloshing onto his dark gray suit just as his phone flew out of his hand. “Shit!” came the voice, soft but hurried, as the person in question scrambled to steady their own coffee cup and avoid more damage. Adrian barely had time to react as a small figure stepped back, eyes wide with panic. "I.I’m so sorry!" The voice trembled, and Adrian finally looked up to meet the wide, apologetic eyes of the person who had crashed into him. His gaze softened as he saw the clear panic on the other person’s face. The person in front of him was a young man slender, with messy dark hair and a few stray strands falling into his face. His eyes, a warm shade of brown, flicked nervously from the coffee splattered on Adrian’s suit to Adrian’s face. His lips parted in a silent apology as he clutched the coffee cup, looking for something to say, but the words seemed to fail him. Adrian’s frown deepened, his suit already ruined, but the surprise of the moment faded quickly. He tilted his head slightly, giving the man a once-over. "Are you alright?" Adrian asked, voice calm yet with an edge of amusement, despite the ruined suit. He reached for the napkins on the counter to dab at the coffee stains. The guy blinked rapidly, as if processing Adrian’s question. “Yeah, I... I mean, yeah, but oh god, your suit! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention!” His hands fluttered in the air awkwardly as he stepped forward, his movements frantic. Adrian couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. “It’s fine, really. I’ve had worse.” His voice held a quiet authority, but something in his expression softened. He took a breath and added, “Not the first time something like this has happened.” The young man Kai, as Adrian now saw on his name tag bit his lip and exhaled a shaky breath. "I'm so embarrassed. I swear, I’m usually more careful." He finally seemed to calm down a little, though his nervousness lingered. Adrian couldn’t resist. “Seems like you’re a little distracted. What’s going on in that head of yours?” Kai blinked again, almost flustered. "Huh? Oh. Just... life, you know?" He laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Work stuff... which is apparently bad luck today.” He pointed toward the stain on Adrian’s suit, his fingers twitching nervously. Adrian’s eyebrow arched. “Work stuff, huh? What do you do?” Kai hesitated for a moment. “Uh... marketing. At... uh, a company. Not nearly as cool as... whatever it is you do.” Adrian chuckled again, shaking his head. “I’ll say this, though: I’m not in the marketing game. I’m actually... not great with people, so let’s just say you got me at a good moment. A coffee spill’s the least of my problems today.” His voice was smooth, almost teasing as he finally took in Kai’s nervousness. Kai looked embarrassed but a little relieved. “Well, if it helps, I’ll pay for a new suit?” “Too much of a hassle,” Adrian replied. “But you do owe me a drink. How about we get one sometime this weekend?” Kai blinked, clearly caught off guard. “Wait, you mean... after spilling coffee all over you?” Adrian smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. “Well, if you’re willing to make it up to me, why not?” Kai’s hesitation was palpable, but there was a playful curiosity there now, his shoulders relaxing as he gave a half-hearted laugh. “I’ll be honest, I wasn't expecting that...

Although this is my first time writing a story and may be an amateur, there would also be some terrible grammar, prose, and repetition of words since English is not my native language, I still hope that some of you will be able to enjoy reading this story I created during quarantine.  This story may also be slow in terms of updating, but I'll try my best to upload frequently or find a schedule to upload the chapters.

Apa jadinya kalau Raja Iblis baru malah minta maaf duluan sebelum menakut-nakuti manusia? Kenalin, Mammon—calon Raja Iblis yang lebih mirip pegawai administrasi kantor kelurahan neraka. Alih-alih menyiksa jiwa-jiwa tersesat, dia lebih suka ngitung jumlah setan aktif di Excel dan bikin laporan tahunan. Tapi sayang seribu sayang, takdir berkata lain. Sebuah ramalan kuno (yang kayaknya diketik sambil ngantuk) tiba-tiba menunjuk Mammon sebagai Raja Iblis selanjutnya. Tapi sebelum duduk di singgasana neraka, dia harus lulus ujian konyol: bikin satu manusia jatuh cinta padanya dalam 100 hari—dan dia harus tahu kalau Mammon itu iblis! Kalau gagal? Dilempar ke Jurang Kegelapan, tempat paling serem yang bahkan iblis-iblis aja pake Google Maps buat cari jalan pulang. Berbekal sebuah buku panduan absurd berjudul “Merayu Manusia untuk Iblis Pemula”, yang ditulis kira-kira 1000 tahun sebelum manusia kenal deodoran, Mammon pun turun ke bumi. Untung dia gak sendiri—dia ditemani Pip, asisten sekaligus kucing sarkastik yang hobi ngatain bosnya sendiri. Tiap kali Mammon gagal (dan dia selalu gagal), Pip tepuk tangan dengan sinis, kadang sambil rekam buat konten TikTok neraka. Tiap hari Mammon nyoba teknik-teknik gombal zaman batu: ngasih bunga plastik, ngajak dinner di kuburan, atau baca puisi sambil terbang terbalik. Hasilnya? Dihina, ditampar, disiram, bahkan pernah dikira pengamen. Sampai akhirnya, di pertengahan deadline, Mammon ketemu Lara—barista cantik, ceria, dan punya tawa yang bikin iblis lupa neraka. Mammon yakin: ini dia target terakhirku! Tapi Lara bukan cewek biasa. Dia terlalu pintar buat jatuh cinta sama gombalan basi dari buku kuno, dan terlalu baik buat langsung kabur. Jadilah Mammon makin sering malu-maluin diri sendiri, makin banyak moment cringey, dan makin sering diceramahi Pip soal "how NOT to flirt 101." Masalah makin runyam ketika musuh lama Mammon, Astaroth, ngirim Vepar—iblis ganteng, cool, dan punya suara kayak penyanyi K-pop—buat rebut hati Lara. Sekarang Mammon harus bertarung demi cinta... dengan buku tua, kucing sarkas, dan tekad yang hampir nyerah tiap Senin. "Panduan Merayu Manusia untuk Iblis Pemula" adalah novel komedi romantis paling gila sedunia: penuh kekonyolan, kegagalan, dan sedikit harapan, soal bagaimana cinta bisa muncul bahkan di tengah-tengah misi neraka yang absurd. Siap-siap ketawa, greget, dan berkata: “APAAN SIH NIH CERITA… TAPI GUE SUKA!”

Rion es barista en una cafetería escondida entre libros, rutina y gente que solo viene de paso. Ella llega todos los días a la misma hora. No habla, no sonríe. Solo pide un té y se sienta con un libro. Hasta que un día, deja una nota. Así empieza algo que no parece amor… pero se siente demasiado real. Un diálogo escrito. Una conexión que crece sin necesidad de palabras. Silent Notes es una historia sobre lo que pasa cuando alguien irrumpe en tu rutina sin pedir permiso. Y sobre el miedo de abrir la puerta… aunque ya esté entreabierta.

CAFFEINE & CODE A GL slow-burn romance by HEXELG She's just the barista. She's the most feared CEO in the city. Neither of them expected to become the most important part of each other's routine. Rina Cha is shy, clumsy, and just trying to survive her shifts at Syntek Corp's elite café. Her idea of danger is spilling oat milk on a customer-not walking into the executive elevator and meeting Kira Yoon, the company's untouchable CEO. Kira runs the tech empire like a machine-flawless, cold, and emotionless. She doesn't do distractions. Especially not flustered girls with crooked foam hearts on their lattes. But somehow, Rina becomes her only exception. Now, Rina is bringing Kira coffee every day... and something deeper is brewing between them. In a world of polished glass, power suits, and unspoken rules, can softness survive? Or will Kira code her heart out of reach?
