In a world where the art of traditional smithing was all but forgotten, Hyun-soo was a legend. A master blacksmith and craftsman, he could create weapons and artifacts that weren’t just breathtakingly beautiful but imbued with unparalleled power. Yet, his glory came to an abrupt halt when a tragic accident in his forge changed everything. His hands—once instruments of art and magic—were ruined. Fingers that had moved with deft precision were now stiff and lifeless. The world that had once celebrated his creations now offered him nothing but pity. Hyun-soo became a shadow of the man he once was, trapped in silence and despair. Until one day, a miracle of modern times knocked on his door. The Orion a newly released virtual reality game—promised a boundless world of adventure. Within it, players could become anything they desired: legendary heroes, fearless explorers, or even rulers of vast kingdoms. But for Hyun-soo, it promised something far greater: a chance to forge again. The first time he entered the world of Orion, the system greeted him with its cold, mechanical messages [Artifact Can't Be Repaired.] Hyun-soo raised an eyebrow, scoffing. Ares operated on strict logic—level caps, predefined game rules, and automated tools. But Hyun-soo saw these constraints for what they were: minor hurdles. His lifetime of experience as a true craftsman had taught him that artistry transcended mere systems. He quickly realized that the game’s mechanics didn’t truly understand the essence of smithing. Armed with his expertise, he began to defy those limits, creating legendary items that even the highest-level players could only dream of wielding. Hyun-soo, the genius blacksmith, had returned—and this time, he was forging a future beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.

Two sisters enter the world of a book they read after purchasing it at a yard sale from a peculiar old lady. Little do they know that everything they read was real. And it was never a book, but a portal. A gateway hidden in plain sight which led to another world. A world of magic, demons and curses. A world they once lived in. Waking up in the bodies of people from a forgotten time, haunted by strange dreams of death and a voice which informs them that they must defeat a Demon Lord if they wish to survive. There is no mention of returning home. What could these ladies possibly do? Will they take action and fight? Or will they succumb to these most unusual set of circumstances? One thing is certain, they have far too much in common with the bodies they're possessing. THE COVER IS NOT MINE.

Her life is meticulously structured, her every step a calculated masterpiece. She is the very opposite of Chase, yet she’s the one thing he’s never been able to resist. When a reckless racer falls for a woman who’s spent her life dancing on the edge of control, their worlds collide in a tempest of fiery attraction and unspoken yearning.

In a world where most chase wealth and status, Omen stands apart. Once driven by the desire for power, he shifts his ambition towards an audacious goal: omniscience. He realises that to achieve the impossible, he must transform into an impossibility himself. Omen embarks on a harrowing journey, facing unimaginable trials—banishment, imprisonment, enslavement, and even death—in his relentless pursuit of knowledge. Each challenge strips away his humanity while sharpening his resolve, as he learns that true progress emerges when impossibility bends to necessity. But as Omen draws closer to his goal, he must confront the ultimate question: at what cost comes the pursuit of unattainable knowledge, and can he retain his sense of self in a quest to become something beyond human?

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

"Okay, so first off, my Innate Mana is incredibly low. Way too low to even be classified as a bona fide Warrior. Haha, totally funny God!! If you're even there anyway! Second, I spent three years, three whole years! Training to increase my Overall Mana through Accumulated Mana, but guess what? All I get as a result is a measly tenth of the Mana of what an average Warrior would normally get, emphasis on the 'average'! Get me!? But that's cool, that's cool, no that's fine, that's perfect, real peachy, totally not bumbed out about it! What? I'm lying and it's not fine? And I'm actually bumbed out about it? Sh-Shut up, you don't know anything! Anyway, what's third, you ask? What? You didn't ask? Well I'll tell you anyway, I'm an F-Rank, that's right, an F-Rank. The only one in the world at that. So basically, I'm the weakest Warrior in existence. Ain't that something? But you know what? That's also fine, 'cause I don't care... No really I don't. It's true, stop doubting me already, I can see your face through the fourth-wall! Yeah, that's right, better watch yourself. So what if I'm the weakest Warrior, huh? I'm still capable, I just have to do my best, push passed my limits! Yeah, 'make do with what you have' is what I always say. What? I'm lying again? When have I ever said that? Again, shut up, you don't know anything!" *** In a world where monsters from many portals called Dungeon Gates threaten mankind as we know it and half of the world's population Awakens as superhumans with skills and the ability to manipulate Magic in order to pass through said Dungeon Gates to clear the Dungeons, Raid, a 19-year old orphan finds he has no choice but to pick a very weak Class after Awakening as a Warrior due to his low Mana Capacity, the only F-Rank Class in the entire world, Blacksmith. Faced with the cruelty of the possibility of being seen as the weakest Warrior of all time, he decides to not let it hold him back. Follow Raid on his journey to make the most of the cards he's been dealt, even if those cards are...urgh, do I really have to say it? "Yes, yes, you do" Fine. Even if those cards are...pretty shitty cards. "Yeah, that's right, you heard the author. Even as the weakest Warrior, I'll show all those other High-Ranked Warriors what's what! Tag along for some fun if you're interested"
