In the autumn of 1954, August Wintern arrives at St. Alaric’s School for Boys as a late transfer, burdened by the weight of a past he’d rather forget. Quiet and observant, he navigates the halls of the academy with a reserved demeanor, finding solace in literature and the quiet corners of the library. But even books can’t shield him from the unfamiliar world he’s been thrust into. James Caldwell, by contrast, is effortless in his defiance. With a sharp wit and a reputation for bending the rules, he commands attention without trying. He is everything August is not—easygoing, reckless, untouchable. When they are unexpectedly paired for a classical literature project, their differences seem endless. James’s disregard clashes with August’s meticulous nature, their conversations charged with thinly veiled contempt. But when August stumbles upon a book filled with cryptic letters—letters that reference events that should be impossible—what began as a reluctant partnership shifts into something far more complicated. As they attempt to decipher the mystery buried within ink-stained pages, the lines between rivalry and understanding blur. And in the quiet spaces between arguments and unspoken words, August begins to wonder: is James truly as untouchable as he seems? Or is he running from something, too?

August Harlow was a pretty mediocre player of the 2nd best guild, Burning Ambition, which focused on the very popular VRMMORPG Akathra: Expeditions. The main reasons for that was the fact that the only "burning ambition" August had was to explore. He did like the grind of levels and mobs, but the main reason he did it was to be able to access higher level areas to hunt for lore. Yep that's right August was mainly a lore hunter. Well that was before he was betrayed by his guild when he got a mythic item. His guild killed him repeatedly till he dropped the item and, just to pour salt on his wounds, back to level 1. The real salt was that when he left the game pod, there were people waiting for him, to "silence" him. But fate was a kind mistress because when August closed his eyes for the last time, he also opened them for the 119217600th time. August then swore to himself that this time was going to be different, that he was not going to join a guild just to suffer under the elites, He’d much rather just peacefully collect lore, but then again plans never seem to go exactly to the letter. This is the Story of August The Lorewalker. This is my first novel so I'd like some constructive criticism from you all

"What a shame. He had his whole life ahead of him, yet attempted suicide by jumping off a building." One year later~ The past can be recovered from, but never completely forgotten or erased from memory. August Castellan was a person who shut people out, never getting too close with someone. He was polite and gentle, but always drew a line, mercilessly pushing those who tried to cross it out of his life. He had done this perfectly....until now. Why couldn't he bear to push him away? Edward was a bright and cheerful person, breaking apart all the walls August put around himself with ease. He came crashing in August's originally uneventful life, making his black and white world bloom with colors and emotions he didn't even know existed before. He always thoughts of true love as a hoax, something people use to comfort themselves until he met Edward. But was Edward really what he seemed? Or was he hiding his own secrets, a past he can't leave behind? Can two people, both connected by a past one doesn't even know the other is a part of, get through this? Or was their story messed up from the beginning, destined for a bad end before it even started? Angst with happy ending...probably.
