What happens when the man you trusted the most throws you away during the most vulnerable phase of your life? Lyra thought she had everything—a husband, a home, and now, a baby. But when she shared the happiest news of her life, her world shattered. Accused, rejected, and betrayed… she realized her marriage was nothing more than a lie. And worse, she was no longer even his wife—without ever knowing when she stopped being one. A painful story of betrayal, love lost, and a woman’s strength rising from ruin. As secrets unfold and loyalties break, Lyra must decide: will she fight for what’s lost or walk away to find something more powerful—herself?

It all started with a curse. In the sterile halls of St. Solace Hospital, Laura—wounded, desperate, and blinded by grief—cast a curse she never meant to. A curse that tore through the innocent, striking a child who wasn’t meant to bear its weight. Rozzi, a hero caught in the shadows, made the ultimate sacrifice to protect that child, her life extinguished in the Spiral’s growing darkness. And Asto De La, a father shattered by loss and betrayal, was pushed to the edge of madness. His quest for justice became a battle against something ancient and merciless—a forest that remembers every name, every pain, every secret. Now the forest watches. Elias, a boy who should have died that night, lives on beneath the trees. Saved by a silent girl whose name he never learned, he became the Spiral’s last heir. He writes the names of the forgotten into the dirt so they don’t vanish, so the curse doesn’t spread. But memory is not merciful. And the Spiral never forgets. When the dead begin to whisper and children wake remembering things they never lived, the curse calls again. Elias must choose between becoming a monster like the one who saved him… Or breaking the forest’s heart one name at a time. The Forest Never Forgets is a chilling supernatural tale of memory, sacrifice, and the weight of love that refuses to die. This is where grief grows wild and names become roots. Dear Readers, Some stories are born from fire. This is one of them. In the shadows of forgotten places, in the silence after screams, the past waits. It doesn't fade. It doesn't forgive. And if you dare to look too closely, it might look back. The Forest Never Forgets is not just a story of grief, curses, and the supernatural—it's about the aching cost of love, the terror of truth, and the monsters we inherit. Every word was written with trembling fingers and a haunted heart. I hope you read it with the same fire. Welcome to St. Solace. Remember: once you enter, it remembers you too.

Instead, her sister handed her a bridal dress and a carefully planted lie. Blinded by trust and buried feelings, Evelyn stepped into a wedding she never truly understood — until it was too late. At the altar, she said “I do”… To the wrong man. Or maybe, to the man she had always loved — Zyden Cross — who now sees her as nothing but a manipulative fraud.

Forced into marriage by family reputation and media pressure, he wants nothing to do with the quiet girl who wears his ring… and his last name. But Evelyn isn’t the naive girl from high school anymore. Behind her silence is a storm. Behind his anger is pain he can’t name.

As rebellion spreads like smoke and ancient powers awaken, Elira must choose between love and vengeance, destiny and destruction. With every step, the line between savior and monster blurs. And in the heart of it all stands Prince Auren—the heir bound to a dying throne, torn between the kingdom he swore to protect and the girl who was born to burn it down. Loyalties will shatter. Kingdoms will fall. And in the end, only the fire will decide who survives. In a kingdom ruled by silence, will love survive the fire—or be consumed by it?

The Mask Never Slips In a world where morality is blurred, Shiva navigates the dark underbelly of crime while concealing the unbearable weight of his own existence. Emotionally detached yet deeply wounded, he wears a mask of indifference, suppressing a lifetime of trauma that manifests as relentless physical pain. He is a master manipulator, a deceiver, and a survivor—yet, at his core, he is a man consumed by self-disgust. Despite his hatred for himself, three fragile reasons tether him to life: his love for a girl who barely acknowledges him, his unwavering loyalty to the abusive family that broke him, and the little brother he raised to be everything he could never become. If even one of these reasons crumbles, so will he. As he maneuvers through the chaos of the crime world—both a participant and an outsider—Shiva finds himself drawn into a series of brutal conflicts, each forcing him to confront the contradictions within him. He claims to have no desire to kill, yet death follows in his shadow. He yearns to be understood, yet has perfected the art of deception. He wants to feel something—anything—but every emotion is buried beneath years of carefully constructed lies. When the past he’s tried so hard to bury resurfaces, Shiva’s carefully maintained facade begins to crack. Someone close to him is starting to see through the act. And as the weight of his suffering becomes impossible to contain, he is left with one question: Can he keep holding on, or is the mask he wears the only thing keeping him alive?

She is just seventeen. Just a teen but is suffering too much to hide. She lives in a facade making everyone around her believe she is living like a beautiful flower. She thinks she can hide her real self behind her cold mask. Thinks she can hide her tears behind those closed bathroom doors. Thinks she can always fake her pain with that heart-filled laugh and sweet smile of hers. Thinks she can hide her scars behind those clothes. She thinks she can hide her sufferings behind that perfect happy perception everyone has made of hers. But she is now tired.

I never mattered. Magicless. Worthless. A commoner at the bottom of the barrel, forced to grovel just to stay alive in a world ruled by mana and bloodlines. I polished their boots, swallowed my pride, and obeyed every command like a loyal dog—because all I wanted was to survive. But survival wasn't enough for them. They took everything. My dignity. My hope. My life. Betrayed by the woman I loved—her dagger was the last thing I felt before darkness claimed me, and laughter echoed around my dying body. But death wasn't the end. An unknown entity offered me a deal—and I took it without hesitation. Now, I’ve regressed to the past, armed with an SSS-Class Grimoire, and a fire in my soul that no magic can extinguish. This time, I won’t grovel. I won’t beg. I will make them fall. They’ll scream. They’ll run. They’ll wish for death—and I’ll be there to watch, unblinking, unmerciful. And once their ashes scatter in the wind, I’ll rise—beyond vengeance, beyond power—to claim my destiny as: The Sorcerer King. You want to see how far a broken man can go when given a second chance? Come closer. The adventure is just beginning.
