No More Bens

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.

14-year-old Ben Roland was just an ordinary boy—until the night he discovered a glowing symbol on his wall and a hidden door in his basement.

In a realm of magic, danger, and shadows, Ben must find the courage to face the truth about who he is—and why he was never meant to stay in the ordinary world.

One reunion. Countless secrets. After years apart, four best friends reunite for a dreamy vacation abroad, planning to relive their golden memories before life pulls them in different directions. What their old friends don’t know? These girls didn’t just grow up — they grew dangerous. Behind their laughter and love stories lie loaded secrets: each of them is part of a powerful underground mafia empire, trained to protect, deceive, and survive. But in a city far from home, where the past collides with the present, old flames return, trust is tested, and falling in love could mean falling into a trap. Because no one leaves the mafia. Not even for love.

In a world where ancient gods shape the fate of mortals, Mateo bears an inescapable burden: the Blessing of Death. Rejected by his own village and marked as a harbinger of misfortune, he grows up in the shadow of hatred and loneliness. His only anchor is Nai, his childhood friend, whose silent presence is the last light in his condemned existence. When betrayal reaches its peak and everything he had left is taken from him, Mateo plunges into a world of darkness, vowing revenge against those who manipulated his fate. To do so, he accepts the ultimate price: giving up his humanity to master the lethal gifts of death. On his journey, he will face divine entities, forbidden secrets, and enemies that will force him to confront not only others — but also himself.

Selucas Brightblossom was in his younger years a bright and smart boy who lived his life doing nothing out of the ordinary; he studied well, he helped his father and uncle in their greengrocer business and he supported his mother with raising his sisters. It seemed then as if his life was going the normal direction and his future looked bright, everyone expected him to become a good citizen with a nice job, his parents where definitely expecting him him to go to a good and well established university because of his outstanding intelligence, however unfortunately in the end he would not go on this paved path instead taking a rough and dangerous one. It all started when his parents decided to move on to a new place, the city of Ardenburg in the warm sub-tropic south, where they would settle themselves in a modern environmentally friendly house in a calm neighbourhood. Here they sought to begin a new life in a spacious and nature-abundant city, Selucas was at the age of seventeen (almost eighteen) at that time and at this place his parents expected him and his siblings to blossom into fine young people, but it would go on differently.... Bad encounters, shady friends and the temptation of big money and a high status that goes with it would turn everything upside down... An once good and hard-working boy would turn into a full-fledged gangster without shame and values. How did it end up like this?!

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 .

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.

But Veilborn doesn’t treat him like a player. It treats him like something else—something that was never supposed to exist.

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.
