Never Give Up

She woke up with no name, no memories—only 108 tattoos etched across her skin, each one pulsing with secrets she doesn’t understand. Every mark is a clue. Every line, a lie. Hunted by shadowy organizations and haunted by flashes of a life she doesn’t remember, she’s forced to trust a man whose name was written on the back of a photo: Agent Marlow. But even he doesn’t know the full truth—because she might not be human at all. Who created her? Why was she erased? And what happens when every tattoo unlocks a new power… or a buried sin? In a world where reality is paper-thin and identities can be rewritten, she must fight to uncover the chilling answer to the question that terrifies her most: If she was never real… then what is she now?

A single moment of hesitation shattered their first love—Yoon Jae-ha, unable to express his true feelings, and Han Hye-won, who did her best to avoid him. One day, both of their lives came to a sudden, tragic end. But fate offers them a second chance. “You have no choice but to turn back time. For exactly 49 days.” “Is there a small regret or mistake you wish you could undo?” In that moment, both of them were reminded of 'that' memory—their clumsy, awkward first kiss. From that day forward, their relationship fell apart completely. “It seems the two of you have the same thing in mind.” For 49 days, they are sent back in time—to that moment—to rewrite the past. But things don’t go quite as planned. They wake up in the past, only to realize they’ve swapped bodies—and they're both 19 years old again. “You’re the one who said we could never be more than friends. But now? What’s this supposed to mean?” “You’re a woman to me. I’m not doing this ‘just friends’ thing.” A chaotic, time-travel romance between two switched souls! Hye-won, quirky but loveable, and Jae-ha, quiet but dangerously possessive, find their feelings for each other deepening. As unexpected people entangle themselves in their fate, the lines between past and present blur. When the 49 days are up… 'Can this love finally come true?' __________✧⁠⑅⁠˖⁠♡｡ﾟ∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠°↝⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^___________________ My other works: "I became the Beast Duke's wife" on transcendentaltls .com (ongoing) ~ "Cat Kiss" on novelishuniversetransaltions .com (new)

Adrian Vale is used to getting what he wants. Rich, ruthless, and terrifyingly charming, he rules St. Augustine’s Academy with a calculated smile and an iron grip. Everyone knows better than to cross him—until a new transfer student arrives. Rhea Virelle is quiet, unreadable, and cold as glass. She doesn’t chase power or popularity.

Intrigued turns to obsessed as Adrian tries to unravel the mystery behind her emotionless mask and haunting eyes. She’s not like the others—because she’s not here to belong. She’s here for revenge. Every move she makes is part of a plan. Every glance, every silence, every word is calculated. And Adrian? He’s not the predator anymore. He’s the bait. As secrets unravel and power shifts, the lines between love and hate, obsession and possession, begin to blur. But one truth remains: She was never his. And trying to own her might just destroy them both.

A word of advice for surviving a place like Schroon Falls: If a ghost offers you a job, take the money. The dead, after all, are famously bad with paperwork. Just be careful. In a town of crumbling manors and modernist cubes, every shadow has an angle and every echo has an agenda. The most convincing hauntings aren’t about the ghosts themselves, but about the person they’ve chosen to speak through. Sanity is negotiable. Rent is not.

Alice, an seemingly ordinary human, finds her life irrevocably changed when she falls deeply in love with Shawn, a captivating being who is half-vampire and half-demon. Their passionate connection leads to a pivotal moment where Alice's hidden powers awaken, revealing her true identity: she is the long-lost Demon Queen, Nyx. This revelation, however, comes with a dark side; her newfound demonic nature amplifies her negative emotions, causing her to lash out and even harm those she cares about. Struggling with her dual nature, Alice is drawn to a mysterious, ancient castle, her maternal home, where she reunites with her mother, Zhou—a powerful witch. Zhou reveals Alice's true lineage as the daughter of a demon king and a witch queen, explaining that her memories were suppressed and her powers sealed to protect her from vengeful witches. The magical ritual performed to save her life after an attack, however, had a significant cost, affecting her father's memories and linking his return to her loss of innocence. Under her mother's guidance, Alice trains to control her witch powers, but mastering her demonic side requires a journey to Hell. There, she fully embraces her role as Queen Nyx, ruling with a firm hand and even encountering her demon king father, Drexel (who is also Lucifer's nephew). As Nyx, she exhibits formidable power and a ruthless streak, leading to a tense confrontation with Shawn, her love, who tries to bring her back to her "Alice" self. Their tumultuous relationship deepens as they navigate her volatile powers and his attempts to keep her grounded. The story delves into Alice's struggle to balance her human heart with her demonic destiny, her relationships with both her birth family and Shawn, and the challenges of her reign in Hell. Ultimately, through their trials and unwavering love, Alice and Shawn succeed in forging an unprecedented peace between the vampire, demon, and witch realms, uniting their disparate worlds.

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

Josh Andriano, seorang fotografer muda, telah mencintai Windy Alisha sejak SMA. Selama bertahun-tahun, ia mencintai Windy dengan tulus; menjadi bahu untuk bersandar, menjadi tempat untuk Windy pulang tanpa diminta. Jadi, ketika Windy akhirnya menerima cintanya, Josh langsung merasa bahwa dunianya telah menjadi utuh. Namun, tiga bulan kemudian, Windy mengakhiri hubungan mereka. Alasannya simpel: Windy ternyata menjalin hubungan dengan pria lain di belakangnya dan kini telah bertunangan dengan pria itu. Josh hancur. Hidupnya kehilangan warna, kehilangan arah...sebab selama ini, pusat dari hidupnya adalah Windy. Cinta yang ia bangun dengan tulus justru berakhir dengan pengkhianatan. Sampai akhirnya, sahabatnya mengenalkannya kepada seorang model bernama Keisha Nathalie untuk menjadi 'objek' dalam proyek fotografi terbarunya. Melalui lensa itulah, Josh menemukan sesuatu yang tak pernah ia sangka: seseorang yang begitu ringan untuk dicintai. Keisha bukan Windy. Ia tidak rumit, tidak penuh tuntutan, tidak bermain dengan perasaan. Ia jujur, santai, cantik, dan terasa...mudah. Dengan Keisha, segalanya mengalir tanpa beban, tanpa teka-teki, tanpa luka. Untuk pertama kalinya, Josh mulai bertanya pada dirinya sendiri: "Apakah cinta memang harus serumit itu?" Lalu, di balik setiap jepretan, Josh perlahan menemukan jawabannya. Kadang, cinta sejati tidak datang dalam bentuk yang penuh gejolak. Kadang, ia datang dengan sederhana. Melalui lensa. Melalui senyuman baru. Melalui seseorang...yang membuatmu merasa pulang.

I never mattered. Magicless. Worthless. A commoner at the bottom of the barrel, forced to grovel just to stay alive in a world ruled by mana and bloodlines. I polished their boots, swallowed my pride, and obeyed every command like a loyal dog—because all I wanted was to survive. But survival wasn't enough for them. They took everything. My dignity. My hope. My life. Betrayed by the woman I loved—her dagger was the last thing I felt before darkness claimed me, and laughter echoed around my dying body. But death wasn't the end. An unknown entity offered me a deal—and I took it without hesitation. Now, I’ve regressed to the past, armed with an SSS-Class Grimoire, and a fire in my soul that no magic can extinguish. This time, I won’t grovel. I won’t beg. I will make them fall. They’ll scream. They’ll run. They’ll wish for death—and I’ll be there to watch, unblinking, unmerciful. And once their ashes scatter in the wind, I’ll rise—beyond vengeance, beyond power—to claim my destiny as: The Sorcerer King. You want to see how far a broken man can go when given a second chance? Come closer. The adventure is just beginning.

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you." - Rumi This isn't a story about love in the way people usually mean it. It's not about a grand romance, or the kind that ends in fireworks or heartbreak. It's about a quieter kind of love-the kind that settles deep inside you and stays, long after the people who lit it have gone. It doesn't demand anything. It just lives on in silence. In the pages of old books. In half-remembered voices. In the things they once loved-and now you do too, simply because they did. For me, that thing was Rumi. I never tried to understand his poetry, not really. Most of the time, I still don't. But his words became a way back to them. A way to stay close to what I'd lost. A thread I could hold when there was nothing else left to hold onto. This book is a collection of moments. Quiet, drifting thoughts. Half-formed confessions I never said out loud. It doesn't follow a timeline. It doesn't follow structure. Like love, it just moves the way it wants to. Wandering, circling, returning. Maybe somewhere in these pages, you'll find something that echoes the way your heart once broke open. Maybe you've loved like this too.

Humans lost their position at the top of the food chain, barely managing to survive. Even then, most couldn't be called Human anymore. Surrounded by corporations, shadowy organizations, the church, powerful individuals, and countless eyes in a city barely holding itself together, Callum is going to school. I wonder how that will go.
