Books With No Spice

A lonely girl and a bird — both unable to fly in their own ways — share a silent friendship. She talks to the bird more than people. The bird listens. Sometimes, it sings. But as days pass, its feathers lose color, and its voice fades. The girl learns that the bird doesn’t sing not because it doesn’t love her, but because it sees no sky anymore. And when someone has no sky… They forget how to sing. A short and tender story about emotional captivity, quiet love, and learning to open the cage — even when it hurts .

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

In a land where food is sacred, recipes are divine, and war is waged over flavor—two souls rise: one to serve the Gods, one to destroy them. A tale of two who dared. Their paths will cross—and cross again. The land will fall—will fall, indeed. Or shall the land rise once more—again and again, indeed?

When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.

What would you do if you were thrown into a foreign world—alone, powerless, and with no system to guide you? No instructions. No second chances. Only the unknown stretching endlessly before you. Trapped in a place where nothing makes sense, where survival is earned through struggle, one boy is forced to push forward. Each step leads him deeper into a mystery he cannot understand, each battle taking more than it gives. Yet, even as the world tests his limits, he refuses to break. But where is he? Why is he here? And what awaits him beyond the next choice he makes? Some questions have answers. Others only lead to more questions.

In the year 2030, Michael Thorne is eighteen, broke, and barely surviving the system that left him behind. With no family, no future, and nowhere to go, he spends his nights sleeping in abandoned corners of the city and his days trying not to disappear completely. Then the game Veilborn arrives. No advertisements. No studio credits. Just a whisper online: “The game that remembers.” With no login ID, no setup screen, and no price tag, Michael is pulled into something deeper than VR—an artificial world that feels as old as memory and as cruel as reality. But Veilborn doesn’t treat him like a player. It treats him like something else—something that was never supposed to exist. Marked by a mysterious “Veiled Star,” Michael’s tutorial is lethal, his starting class unglamorous, and his only advantage is the fact that he refuses to break. As he levels through real combat, bleeds through real pain, and uncovers hidden systems buried beneath the game’s surface, one truth becomes clear: This isn’t a game you win. It’s a world that tests what you are. And somewhere within it lies a power that remembers him. Even though he has no idea why.
