The Riders at Dawn

In a dying world strangled by frost, plague, and the whispers of monsters, survival is a currency—and Iris Liren is dangerously close to going broke. She’s spent her life scraping together enough food, coin, and sanity to protect her younger brother Flynn from the rot seeping into their crumbling town of Sundra. Between the ever-creeping infection known as the Rattle and the ravenous vampire lords across the border, death is always one wrong step away. The Wolves—cold, lethal warriors bonded to the mythical volanema beasts—are the kingdoms’s only real line of defense. Revered, feared, and kept distant from the civilians they serve, the Wolves don’t come when you scream. They come after, when it’s too late. And when Iris sees the wreckage left behind after another attack, she knows the truth: if you want someone saved, you do it yourself. But the town is bleeding, secrets are festering, and trust is a weapon no one dares to wield. When Flynn vanishes, desperate to join the Wolves and prove he can protect what’s left of their broken world, Iris finds herself pulled into the center of a conflict that’s far bigger—and far older—than she ever imagined. And at its heart is a commander whose eyes see everything and give away nothing. His presence is as commanding as his silence, and though Iris refuses to bow, she can’t help but feel the sharp pull of fate every time he’s near. Determined to drag her brother back from the jaws of death, Iris pursues him into the treacherous mountains. Instead of finding Flynn, she's forcibly conscripted into the brutal trials herself, thrust into the Culling – a bloody free-for-all where hundreds fight to survive, and only 60% will walk away. Forged in desperation, she forms uneasy alliances. But the trials aren't her only battle. Watching over the carnage with chilling detachment is Alpha Zion Kage – leader of the feared Kuzgun Pack. Beautiful as wildfire and sharp as a honed blade, Zion radiates lethal power and unsettling secrets. His obsidian eyes see too much, especially Iris's defiance and raw strength. An unwanted, dangerous attraction sparks between them – a hunter drawn to a wounded, furious sparrowhawk. Zion is the embodiment of the system Iris distrusts, the man who might hold the key to Flynn's fate, and the one who forces her to confront the terrifying darkness within herself. As rebellion brews, loyalties fracture, and something ancient begins to stir beneath the snow-choked earth, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her brother—and whether the line between monster and man is as clear as everyone wants to believe. Iris must survive a trial designed to shatter the weak. To understand Zion, she might have to forfeit her heart. And to win, she'll be forced to cross a line that stains the soul. The path to the wolves is paved in blood, and love might be the deadliest trap of all.

He only wants revenge. And the world will pay for every tear he swallowed in silence.

Rejected a 1000 Times, I Commited Suicide… And Got 1000 Girlfriends!

My name is Kage Ito, and I was the world’s most rejected man—a thousand rejections, no friends, family, or even a pet. Life itself seemed to reject me. One night, in my tiny, dingy apartment, I gave up and ended it all. But death wasn’t the end. I awoke in a realm of endless white, greeted by Sakurabana Tamayori, the Goddess of Soulmates. She revealed the cosmic mix-up that defined my life: I’d been assigned a thousand soulmates. None of the women who rejected me were meant to be mine, and I was given a second chance. The Soul Stats system also known as the Soul Reaver Damnation is a mysterious interface that tracks my soulmates, their emotional states, and the progress of our relationships. It shows me detailed metrics like their happiness, love, jealousy, and more, giving me a glimpse into the bond I share with each of them. But it’s not without its risks—if I fail to meet certain objectives, the consequences can be devastating, like one of my soulmates choosing to end their life. The system is both a guide and a constant reminder of the high stakes I face with every decision I make. (Chapter : 21) Now, I must find these soulmates, feeling an undeniable spark when I meet them. Sounds perfect, right? Wrong. Managing a thousand relationships is chaos. Some soulmates are fiery, others shy, and many come with their own challenges. Worse, ignoring a soulmate causes them unimaginable suffering. With little guidance and Sakurabana popping in to mock my struggles, I’m left to navigate this bizarre blessing—or curse. Along the way, I’ve discovered moments of beauty, connection, and love, but I still wonder: why me? This is the story of how I went from the loneliest man alive to a man destined for a thousand soulmates, and my journey to figure it all out—one soulmate at a time or maybe more.
