GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Set in 2009, the story dives deep into the lives of misfits—people who are disconnected from mainstream society, each with their own struggles and reasons for feeling like they don’t belong. Satou’s solitary hobby of wandering at night brings him into contact with a diverse group of people, each with their own backstory. Along the way, he meets several girls who, like him, have chosen to stay away from society or are living in isolation due to trauma, societal rejection, or personal choices.

One of the key figures in Satou's journey is Kanako Ryoyo, a 19-year-old girl who is a victim of human trafficking. She’s tough, cold, and emotionally guarded, but after escaping her captors, she ends up hiding in an abandoned asylum, where Satou first finds her. Their connection grows as Satou helps her find refuge at his home. Kanako is a complex character—nonchalant and blunt on the outside, yet deeply affectionate in her own way. Her trauma, mixed with Satou’s kindness, leads to a slow but steady emotional connection. As the story unfolds, Satou and the people he meets face personal challenges, emotional dilemmas, and moments of redemption. The narrative explores themes of broken families, societal rejection, the psychological toll of isolation, and the complexities of human emotions. The presence of illegal activities like human trafficking and underground bars also adds a dark layer to the story, setting a gritty tone for the series of encounters Satou has with those seeking meaning outside of society's rigid expectations. With a strong focus on psychology, adventure, and romance, VA: DIAMOND TO RAIN is a deeply emotional journey of outcasts, exploring how they navigate the world while searching for a place where they belong.

Echoes of Rain

The Echoes of Rain is a poignant tale that explores the depths of human connection and the power of healing in unexpected places. Amara, a woman haunted by the ghosts of her past, finds solace in the familiar rhythm of the city and the comforting patter of raindrops. For her, the rain is a melancholy companion, a reminder of loves lost and dreams that have withered away like flowers deprived of sunlight. On a dreary evening, as she navigates the bustling train station, her umbrella slips from her grasp, rolling down the aisle as if fate itself has intervened. It is then that she encounters Noah, a stranger whose warm presence and effortless charm immediately disarm her. With a gentle smirk and a twinkle in his deep brown eyes, he retrieves her fallen umbrella, extending it to her with a casual heroism that catches her off guard. Despite her initial hesitation, Amara finds herself drawn to Noah's quiet confidence and genuine interest in her life. As the train carries them through the city, their conversation flows like a gentle stream, touching on shared passions for literature, music, and the beauty found in life's unplanned moments. When Amara confesses her complicated relationship with the rain, Noah listens without judgment, offering a simple reassurance that perhaps the right kind of rain could change her perspective. Their paths separate as abruptly as they converged, but the encounter leaves an indelible mark on Amara's soul. As she walks home, the rain no longer feels like a burden but a cleansing force, washing away the layers of grief and regret that have weighed her down for far too long. Fate intervenes once more when Amara unexpectedly encounters Noah at a cozy coffee shop, his presence as warm and inviting as the aroma of freshly brewed beans. This time, she doesn't hesitate to accept his invitation to join him, and their connection deepens as they peel back the layers of their pasts. Noah reveals the pain of his father's abandonment and his mother's unwavering strength in the face of adversity. Amara, in turn, confides her own struggles, the rain serving as a poignant metaphor for the memories that have haunted her for years. In each other's company, they find a safe haven, a place where their burdens can be shared and their souls can breathe freely. As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Amara begins to see the world through a new lens. The rain that once represented sorrow now symbolizes rebirth and renewal, each droplet a reminder of the resilience that has carried her through life's storms. And in Noah's embrace, she finds the courage to confront the demons of her past, finally allowing herself to let go of the pain that has held her captive for far too long. In a poetic twist of fate, the story culminates in a rainstorm that washes away the last remnants of Amara's grief, leaving her standing in the downpour, face upturned to the heavens, arms outstretched in a silent embrace of the very thing that once haunted her. It is in this moment that she realizes the true power of love and connection, and the transformative nature of healing that can occur when two souls find each other in the most unexpected of places. The Echoes of Rain is a breathtaking exploration of the human spirit, a testament to the resilience that lies within us all, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, the possibility of hope and renewal exists, if only we have the courage to open our hearts and let the rain in.

[BL] Dear Hushand, I want divorce

"Do you love...me?" My eyes stung as I asked my so-called husband. "No," he said quietly. "I don't love you. I don't need to love you. I just need to take care of you as I promised your father before he died." My world crumbled down on me. His words hit me like a physical blow. I staggered back, the world spinning around me. "S-So that's it? This whole time, you've been with me out of some sense of duty?" Elijah looked away, unable to meet my gaze. "Your father asked me to look after you, to make sure you were happy and safe. That's what I've been trying to do." "Fine then. Let's get a divorce!" I announced, loud and clear. ___ Ash always believed he could make his cold and vicious hubby fall in love with him. However, after three years of marriage, Ash received only betrayal from Elijah. Elijah never loved him and was only with Ash because he promised Ash's father that he would take care of him after his death. Ash, heartbroken and sorrowful, decided to quit his marriage. However, when he handed Elijah the divorce papers, he ripped them pieces and pushed Ash against the wall. "You have lost your mind if you think I will ever divorce you." Elijah glared, but Ash was unaffected by his rage. However, once Ash had left him for good, Elijah realised how deeply he loved him, and not just because of his responsibility to Ash. So he resolved to go after Ash and bring him back. Amidst this, he came to know that Ash was the one who caused the accident four years ago in which Elijah lost both of his parents. He had investigated this case for years but now that he found out it was Ash, he was devastated. "Come back before I lose my mind and do something you will regret." But can an emotionless and frigid man who has never learned to express affection or feelings approach the love of his life while he conflicted between taking his revenge and loving Ash?

Tokyo Nights

In the neon-drenched streets of a futuristic Tokyo, a rogue team of cyber-enhanced bounty-hunting ninjas operates in the shadows, eliminating high-profile criminals one target at a time. Known as the Specter Blades, they work for the highest bidder, but their true mission is far more personal—bringing down the city’s untouchable crime lord, Ryujin "The Oni" Kisaragi, a tyrant whose grip on Tokyo is suffocating. Leading the Specter Blades is Kael "Ghost" Takeda, a cyber-ninja with a haunted past, enhanced reflexes, and a smart-mouthed AI implanted in his neural system. His team consists of an elite group of misfits, including: Izanami "Iza" Kisaragi, the deadly daughter of Ryujin, who betrayed her father after witnessing his monstrous experiments on people. A master assassin with razor-sharp cybernetic limbs, she hides her past from some of the crew while secretly feeding them intel. Rex "Deadeye" Mori, a grizzled sharpshooter with an addiction to risk and a dark sense of humor, wielding an experimental sniper rifle that can see through walls. Nova, a tech-hacker and drone specialist who keeps the team connected and one step ahead of the law, hiding a secret that could change the world. Sable, a former corporate security enforcer turned brutal melee fighter with a vendetta against Ryujin’s empire. Each bounty they claim brings them closer to dismantling Ryujin’s empire, but with every step forward, they uncover something darker—Ryujin isn’t just a crime lord; he’s orchestrating something monstrous. Beneath the city, illegal cyber-experiments are creating something beyond human, an army of mind-controlled horrors that could turn Tokyo into a nightmare. As the team closes in, paranoia sets in. Someone is leaking information, and the closer they get to Ryujin, the more their alliances are tested. Kael begins to suspect that one of them might be compromised. Meanwhile, tension grows between Kael and Iza, their mutual attraction at war with the reality that, if they fail, she might have to be the one to kill her own father. With the clock ticking and betrayals looming, the Specter Blades must face off against cybernetic assassins, rogue AI, and horrors lurking beneath the city. Their mission isn’t just revenge—it’s survival. But when the final truth is revealed, it will shake Tokyo to its core. Because Ryujin hasn’t just been building an army. He’s been preparing for something worse.
