Book A Certain Hunger

Born of fire and hunger

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.

A SEOUL MATE- A REINCARNATION ROMANCE (Book 1)

"You’re different, Buchi," William said, his voice soft but resolute, his blue eyes holding a storm of emotions. "You make me want to break every rule I’ve ever known." Buchi froze, his breath hitching. He had fought too hard to stay focused, to prove himself as an African scholarship student in a foreign land. He couldn’t afford distractions, especially not from someone like William—a boy born into privilege, someone who lived in a world so different from his own. "You don’t know anything about me," Buchi replied, his tone guarded, though his heart betrayed him with its rapid beats. "I know enough," William countered, stepping closer. "Enough to know that I don’t want to lose you." In the halls of a prestigious university in the Korea, where cultures clash and expectations are high, Buchi finds himself caught in a whirlwind he never anticipated. Coming from Nigeria, he had one goal: to succeed academically and make his family proud. But life had other plans. Enter William, the enigmatic and seemingly untouchable boy who challenges everything Buchi thought he knew about himself. Their worlds couldn’t be more different—Buchi, the determined outsider with a past rooted in resilience, and William, the aloof heir carrying the weight of societal expectations. As their lives intertwine, misunderstandings and clashes turn into unexpected moments of connection. But nothing comes easy in a world riddled with prejudice, secrets, and unspoken desires. With every step closer, Buchi questions whether he’s risking everything he’s worked for, while William struggles to confront the walls he’s built around his heart. The story unfolds against the backdrop of vibrant campus life, where friendships are tested, enemies are made, and love blooms in the most unlikely places. From stolen glances during heated debates to midnight conversations under the stars, Buchi and William’s journey is one of self-discovery, acceptance, and the courage to defy expectations. But as tensions rise, an antagonist lurks in the shadows, determined to sabotage Buchi’s success and tarnish his growing bond with William. With stakes higher than ever, Buchi must navigate the trials of academia, the complexities of love, and the weight of being true to himself. Will they have the strength to overcome the barriers between them? Or will the world’s judgments tear them apart? "You can’t always play it safe, Buchi," William whispered. "Sometimes, the risk is worth it." A story of resilience, courage, and the kind of love that breaks boundaries. Dive into a tale where two hearts find a way to beat as one, no matter the odds.
