Taryn fights monsters. Lucien is one. Forced to team up by the very council she’s made to serve, Taryn finds herself trapped with Lucien—a vampire with too many secrets and a smile that makes her blood run hot. In the midst of growing dangers, the two of them must work together to survive. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where the real threat lies—outside their walls, or between them. Lucien knows better than to care. He’s spent years perfecting the art of detachment, but something about Taryn makes it impossible to stay indifferent. The fire she carries is fierce, dangerous—and every moment with her only stokes the flames higher. Bound by circumstance and haunted by shadows neither of them can outrun, Taryn and Lucien are playing a game they can’t afford to lose. The fire between them grows hotter with every step, but giving in might cost them everything. Some fires are meant to burn. Others consume. This one could destroy them both.

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

Life can never be simple. When a boy starts a supposedly "new" life at a secondary school, he hopes to forget the past and becomes anew. All he ever wanted was a peaceful high-school life. But life finds its way to completely flip his world upside down. Now he has to deal with crazy situations, ranging from embarrassing himself in front of hundreds of people to falling in love in the most random moments like every romance story out there. Life for this boy really turned anew. **This "novel" is a combination of the authors experience throughout high-school and his delusions he always had in his mind in which he wants to pour it out in this story** DISCLAIMER (and authors note) This is my first time ever writing something big and ambitious. Just writing to get a hobby or something. AND IT WILL SUCK. MY WRITING IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. I HAVE NO UPLOAD SCHEDULE SO CHAPTERS WILL BE PUBLISHED RANDOMLY Honestly I just wanted to put all my wishes and delusions of what I wanted highschool to be like for me. And I thought that I might as well share some of the experience I had in my actual highschool life so I can have a mix of reality and imagination in this story. Guess we'll see how that'll work out and also see how far this story will go. I hope I can at least finish it. I don't expect anyone to read it. After all, I can say that this is like my diary and memory book for me to read back and smile at the experience I went through during highschool. Making it public in case anybody wants something to relate to I guess :P

The pain I felt was unbearable or so I thought, but then I bumped into him ( The man that changed everything ) and for the first time in a long time felt that I could actually be happy.
