Your support means more than words can say. Let’s keep walking through this chaos, love, and comfort — one chapter at a time. — with love, [Byeonchen] Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction inspired by the K-pop group SEVENTEEN. The real names and personalities of SEVENTEEN members are used fictionally with the utmost respect and love. This story is purely fictional and is not meant to represent the real individuals. I do not own SEVENTEEN or their likeness. No profit is being made from this story. Two ordinary girls. One extraordinary group. A shared dream that brings them to SEVENTEEN’s world—where friendship blossoms, love quietly takes root, and the line between idol and heart becomes beautifully blurred. Nian and Xuanye never imagined they’d end up living under the same roof as the 13 boys who changed their lives through music. What begins as awe and awkward encounters soon turns into laughter, late-night talks, and memories stitched with music, vulnerability, and love. But the world of idols isn’t easy—and falling in love with one might just be the hardest lesson of all. A fanfic filled with slow-burn romance, emotional bonds, healing moments, and the power of believing in yourself when your heart whispers, “This is real.”

===[WSA ENTRY 2025]=== Each stroke of good luck is a triumph over someone else’s misfortune. Jack Grim, the son of two legendary assassins, was born and raised on nothing but coldness — and the skills to spill blood. At seventeen, Jack received his final task as an assassin apprentice under his parents. “Succeed, and you’ll run your own organization — live the life you’ve always dreamed of.” For Jack, it was everything he had ever wanted: the chance to finally become the professional assassin he was born to be. He struck his target at midnight, succeeded, and received everything his parents had promised. But in the wake of victory came a pounding headache, a relentless fever— and then… transmigration. Jack now found himself in Raiden’s body — the keeper of the Book of Ashes, the heart of the Devourer, and the very book the coward Raiden had died protecting with his life. Jack had no desire to live in another world, magic or not. He simply wanted to return to his life as an assassin. But duty had other plans. The balance of this world now rested on his ability to protect the book — and like it or not, the responsibility was his to bear. —————— Bonus Chapters- 200 Power Stones = 1 Extra Chapter 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Extra Chapter

Cultivation Fantasy | Sea-Linked Power | Underdog Rise Zonaar was born without a flame in a world that runs on it. The Nirith Fire — a blue glow that awakens within chosen hearts — decides who ascends, who cultivates, and who starves. By seventeen, Zonaar had tried every method to ignite it: alchemy, prayer, fasting, pain. But nothing ever worked. Now, he breaks rocks in agolit mines to feed his little sister, while others soar toward the floating immortal realms. But fate shifts when he discovers a sealed relic deep underground — one carrying the divine essence of Orravia, a sea goddess erased from history records. Her power was sealed, her legacy shattered by the Throne Gods. And now… she needs him. From flame-less miner to the key of her vengeance, Zonaar’s path won’t follow tradition. It will rewrite it. Because when the sea chooses its champion, even the heavens must make room. Author’s Note: This is an ocean-based cultivation-inspired fantasy, blending myth and progression. While it draws from Xianxia themes (ascension, divine realms, relics), it uses an original system — Nirith Fire, agolits, and relic-bound destiny — without traditional sects or dantians.

But when a mysterious voice awakens in his soul, Kael is bound to a forgotten legacy and a system older than the wolf gods themselves. With missions to complete, power to earn, and a pack to build from ashes, Kael’s fate is sealed. He must rise, or all he loves will fall.

Selene was the daughter of the cruel Alpha who ruled Moonveil through fear. Years ago, he wiped out an entire pack just to rise to power. But he made one mistake...he left behind four orphaned boys. Those boys returned as Alphas. They are stronger, colder and out for revenge. They took everything...his land, his title, and finally... his life. Selene was only seventeen at the time. She had no idea what her father had done. But that didn’t matter. To them, she was guilty by blood. They didn’t kill her. No. They did something worse. They marked her as a slave. In their world, even omegas had rights. Slaves had none. She became nothing more than property. But Selene still had hope. On her eighteenth birthday, like every werewolf, she expected her wolf to awaken. It was supposed to be the start of her new life. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. Her wolf never came. Her body remained cold and silent. And then… the bond appeared. She was mated to all four of them. The very Alphas who hated her. The ones who owned her. But the truth is Selene was never a wolf to begin with. As her body withers under the weight of the bond, a darker truth surfaces. She is not just a slave… she is the last living witch, born of the very bloodline werewolves have hunted for generations. Now, her enemies wear the mark of her mates... And the witch they thought they broke may be the one who burns them all.

Now, Andi is left with two younger siblings, a luxurious mansion, and millions of dollars wired to her bank account overnight. At seventeen, she's no longer just a poor girl trying to survive. She's an heiress, a sister, and the new face of a bloodline she barely knows. And with great wealth comes whispers, power plays, and vultures in designer clothes. But Andi Navarro isn't here to be eaten alive. She's here to win. Because in her world, money can buy loyalty. Money can buy silence. And most of all, money can buy her a new beginning. Even if it costs her everything.

In a world where cities float above the earth and ancient beasts roam the land, truth has long since been buried beneath the clouds… Seventeen-year-old Aryan has lived his entire life in a cursed land city — a crumbling outpost surrounded by monsters with fangs like swords and demons with human faces. His mother, a low-tier Light wielder, died from a mysterious illness when he was seven. His father? Vanished in a classified government mission years earlier, investigating the very secrets the world refuses to speak of — the beasts, the demons… and the floating cities themselves. No one knows Aryan exists — not the ruling government, not the elite nobles who live high above in shining cities suspended 1000 feet in the sky, not even the assassin guilds and rebel warlords fighting for scraps of power on the surface. But Aryan is about to shatter their silence. Hidden within this fractured world lies a shattered ancient artifact — a mysterious cube once powerful enough to hold the balance between land, sky, and beyond. Split into four fragments, each held in secret corners of the world — from the heavenly Sky Government cities to the beast-infested wilds — its true purpose is unknown… but it calls to Aryan.

The beasts were never meant to exist... And he was never meant to survive. But fate doesn’t care what the world intended. Aryan is coming — and he’s not just looking for answers.

[Author's note: This novel will contain EXPLICIT CONTENT] Three weeks since I died. Three weeks since I woke up in this body. Three weeks of pretending to be Julian Marino—the family disappointment. I stretched in my king-sized bed, staring at the ceiling of my penthouse. The old Julian lived in the family basement. But the old Julian didn't have a system that rewarded sin. [Good Morning, Host] [Daily Sin Quest Available] [Current Sin Points: 127] Not bad for three weeks of work. The morning sun hit different when you weren't worried about assassination attempts. Though in this family, that could change by lunch. My phone buzzed. Seventeen missed calls from Dad. The Don can wait. I've got coffee to drink. I rolled out of bed, catching my reflection in the floor-length mirror. The system's physical enhancement was subtle but effective—jawline sharper, muscles more defined, eyes that held danger instead of fear. "Looking good, Julian," I told myself. "Or should I say, looking better." The old Julian was soft. Weak. Spent his days reading manga and avoiding family business. Me? I spent ten years in black ops learning how to kill with a paperclip. Different worlds, same bullshit. [Morning Routine Complete] [Confidence +1]
