Withered Soul

A withering flower at devil's mercy

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

Soul Hunting

"Breakfast is ready, honey!" —— One second before my "wife" killed me. Alex Foster thought he was just an ordinary salesman at Oak Academy, until he was killed countless times by his "wife". "What are the benefits of being killed? At least I know how many ways a human can die, and I don't have to worry about marriage problems anymore." Every time he was resurrected, Alex found himself with a creepy "ability" — he could see Specters that ordinary people couldn't perceive. These were supernatural beings lurking on the fringes of human society, with distorted forms. "Doctor, your scalpel is quite shiny. By the way, a normal person's arm shouldn't bend like a spider's leg." When Alex discovered that Oak Academy, where he worked, overlapped in space with an ancient mental hospital, he was drawn into a conspiracy beyond his imagination. His colleagues disappeared one after another, and he could see those terrifying beings in charge of the "clean - up work". "Sarah Bennett has a great figure. So, judging by her amount of flesh, it will take the Specter at least three minutes to eat her. Don't worry, we still have time to escape." "Alex! What the hell are you talking about?!" Now, Alex has to navigate among the FBI's Paranormal Investigation Department, the Church of Light, and the mysterious Ace Society, looking for a way to become a Soul Hunter. After all, he has an unfinished task — to make the "wife" who killed him eighteen times taste the same pain. "In this world, not being able to see is actually a blessing. Unfortunately, I've seen too much."

The Soul Weaver

Avery Donovan, a dedicated undergraduate specializing in the study of the soul and mind, dreams of unraveling the mysteries of consciousness and the essence of existence. His research dives deep into the intersection of human behavior, the psyche, and the elusive nature of the soul itself. But his promising academic journey comes to an abrupt halt when a tragic accident leaves him in a coma. When Avery awakens, he finds himself reborn in an extraordinary world where magic and science coexist in a delicate balance. His new identity is Avery Nightshade, a twelve-year-old boy born into a family obsessed with political dominance and the control of ancient mystical forces. Seen merely as a tool for securing alliances, Avery is thrust into a life of manipulation and control, stripped of his autonomy. Yet, Avery is far from powerless. Haunted by memories of his past life and driven by his profound knowledge of the soul and mind, he begins to unravel the mechanics of this strange world's magic. Unlike others who view magic as a weapon or a means to power, Avery perceives it as an extension of the soul-mind-body connection—an intricate web that governs both the physical and metaphysical realms. By blending his psychological insights with this world's magical principles, Avery discovers new ways to manipulate emotions, alter perceptions, and even influence and control the souls of others. As he sharpens his abilities, Avery becomes entangled in a clandestine war between rival factions, each seeking control over a primal force capable of reshaping reality itself. As Avery delves deeper into this power struggle, he must confront his own limits. His increasing ability to manipulate minds and souls tempts him with the possibility of vengeance against those who have sought to control him. But Avery understands that freedom comes at a cost, and wielding such immense power requires him to grapple with the weight of his own morality. The Soul Weaver invites readers on a gripping journey where the mind and soul are not just tools but battlegrounds. Follow Avery Nightshade as he transforms from a disposable pawn into a formidable force, uncovering the delicate balance between control, freedom, and the profound mysteries of the soul. To master this new world, Avery must first master himself.

FRACTURED SOUL

Fractured Soul --- I was just five years old when they took me—stolen from everything I knew and thrown into a nightmare I couldn’t escape. For years, I was locked away in The Underground, where survival meant enduring horrors no child should ever face. But I survived. I didn’t break. And then, finally, I was rescued. Now, I’m thrown into the world above—a world I don’t understand. I’ve known magic exists, I’ve seen monsters, and I’ve fought them everyday of my life. Physically and mentally. But the Fae? That’s a whole different thing. I never knew about them, and now they’re everywhere and I'm one of them? They have their own rules, their own powers, and suddenly, I’m stuck in the middle of it all, trying to make sense of something I was never prepared for. I don’t know how to act around these people. They talk like they know things I don’t, and I feel out of place in this new world—like I don’t belong. And my naivety? Yeah, it’s there. I didn’t grow up with the world outside The Underground. I’ve spent my life surviving, not learning how to live. Everything is so different, and it’s terrifying. Every day, I’m bombarded with new information, new magic, new people—people with powers I don’t understand and a history I wasn’t taught. But there’s something else. Something deeper. I'm struggling with finding my place, and yet everything I do keeps pointing out that I might be the one in some resurfaced ancient prophecy. Now, I'm trying to avoid the rulers of the courts and their schemes–especially Eirlys, the King of the Winter Court. As I try to learn how to survive here, I’m also trying to figure out who I’m supposed to be in a world that seems to have its own agenda for me. The truth is, I’m not just scared of what I don’t understand—I’m scared of what I might become. There are people who fear me, others who want to use me, and a bloodline that could drag me back to the darkness I barely escaped. In Fractured Soul, I have to fight for my place in this new world. I’ll have to navigate my own ignorance, face the power inside me, and decide who I really am. But when the shadows of my past come calling, will I have the strength to stand, or will they pull me back into the dark? ---

the wandering soul

Synopsis: Lucas was once a child full of innocence, but that was taken from him when he was kidnapped by a ruthless Russian faction. Raised and trained as a merciless killing machine, he was stripped of all emotions and humanity, becoming a weapon forged in blood and violence. His life was one of endless missions, where pain, fear, and love were irrelevant. His sole purpose was to kill. By the time his final mission ended, he had become numb—so emotionally detached that even the guilt of his actions no longer phased him. His life came to an abrupt end in a catastrophic explosion, but fate had other plans. Lucas was reincarnated in a new world—a realm full of magic, elves, demons, and demi-humans. As a baby once more, he was given a chance for a new life, with a mother, Lady Elara, and a father, Lord Kael, who loved him dearly. Yet, despite the warmth and care he is surrounded by, Lucas cannot escape the haunting memories of his past life. Emotionally cold and distant, he remains closed off, unwilling to accept the love being offered to him. As he grows, Lucas struggles with the conflict between the desire to change and the fear of vulnerability. The magic-filled world around him, with its creatures and wonders, fails to stir any warmth in his heart. Every step toward openness feels like a threat, reminding him of the violence and manipulation of his former life. The bonds he forms with his new family seem fragile, and the scars of his past prevent him from fully embracing the life he’s been given.
