mystery

Ravencrest High looks like a prestigious boarding school, but the truth is far from that. Hidden from humans, it is a training ground for young vampires to master self-control. Humans are enrolled alongside them, because they think it’s just an elite academic program. In reality, their presence keeps the vampires in check, providing occasional feeding opportunities under strict supervision. With the humans completely unaware. Lyra Hale is a new transfer student, hoping for nothing more than a fresh start. She expected a normal school environment. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by students who are weird and secretive. Kieran Black is everything Ravencrest warns against. A high-ranking vampire from one of the oldest bloodlines, he doesn’t believe in the rules meant to keep vampires in line. He sees the humans not as protected guests, but as tempting puzzles, and he can’t resist the effect Lyra has on him from the first moment he notices her. Lyra doesn’t know the truth about the school, the vampires, or Kieran. While she tries to survive in the school, Kieran is drawn to her in ways he can’t fully control. With the school having so much unbendable rules, even the authority can’t be trusted. And the most dangerous person on campus might also be the only one willing to protect her. At Ravencrest, temptation is constant, and love may be the most dangerous mistake of all. `•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`• [Excerpt] Lyra was halfway down the east corridor, Ravencrest always felt different at night. She hugged her books closer to her chest and stopped when she turned a corner, someone stood at the end of the hall. One foot was propped up behind him, hands in his pockets, head slightly tilted. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and intense, like he had been waiting for her. The hallway suddenly felt smaller and tighter. “Kieran.” “You’re really good at pretending I don’t exist.” “Maybe because you keep showing up where you’re not supposed to be.” His eyes dropped to her lips for half a second before going back to her face. She took a step back as he stepped closer and she froze the second his hand closed over her wrist. Then just as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, his thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her wrist. His touch sent a shock of warmth through her, a feeling she couldn’t quite figure out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to pull back, but before she could, he tugged her closer and suddenly, the space between them disappeared. Every instinct screamed to push him away, to step back, but she couldn’t. He was just too close. “Kieran…” she whispered, voice trembling. The faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, and those enticing grey eyes that she felt drawn in every second she look at him, like gravity itself had shifted. The way he held her wrist and the way his thumb brushed against them, it was everything but safe. "What are you doing?" "I could kiss you." ***** Cover art is not mine.

Who was calling?  The Voices of the unseen watching from the rifts, awaiting their time of calamity.

A quiet estate just beyond the edge of the Nation of Aegis, run by a woman once hailed as the brightest mind, but Red-Hill is no sanctuary. beneath its warm halls and shared meals, the children are trained in silence, secrecy, and survival. They are taught not to pray but to act, to kill, to protect.  Each child is raised to not just face the monsters lurking in the shadows but to be bought, licensed, and employed by those afraid to rely on divine mercy alone.  Some call it salvation, Others call it exploitation. But to the children of Red-Hill, it's just home. And every night, when the rifts groan, they lie awake in their beds.... waiting for their next assignment.

I thought God was a myth—something we tell ourselves to hold on to hope. ​ Well, I met one, and it was terrifying. ​I am Ray. My life wasn't what anyone would call pleasant. It was a big ball of tragedy, misery, and every fucked-up thing you can think of. Even the way I died was laughable. It was the final punchline to a very long, very bad joke. ​But then I met it. "A God." It wasn’t a kind light or a grandfather in the clouds. It was something else entirely. For its own reasons, it decided to give me a chance to start over. It handed me a completely new life.

Alexander Frederick was an ordinary university graduate, poised to inherit his family’s business and a quiet, predictable future. That future was erased in blood. A feared organization (The Selflaw) slaughtered his parents and murdered his closest friend. Grief collapsed into rage, and rage awakened a power so violent it shattered science, reason, and every limit Alexander believed immutable. In claiming vengeance, he destroyed more than his enemies. He destroyed himself. Death should have been final. Instead, Alexander awakens in absolute darkness... bodiless, adrift within an endless void where time fractures and existence feels uncertain. A presence speaks. He believes it to be judgment. He is wrong. What answers him is older than divinity, vast beyond comprehension, and bound by laws even the universe resists. Reborn into a world of Integrators, Alexander rises without his memories, yet burdened by fractured echoes that refuse to fade... fear, shame, grief, and a buried weakness gnawing at his subconscious. Balanced on the edge of madness and a meaningless death, he refuses to break. Not yet. Not until he understands what he has become. Not until he uncovers the truth behind his own incompleteness. The unreasonable power he once wielded has not vanished. It lingers... fractured, restrained, and tied to death itself in ways even the strongest of this world cannot perceive. In a realm far larger, crueler, and more indifferent than the one he lost, Alexander is drawn into conflicts far beyond revenge. forced to confront hidden currents that shape reality, face his fear of dissolution, and walk toward a destiny he can neither deny… …nor escape.

Mortals. Gods. And the inevitability of fate. In a land of myriad races, hidden truths, and unseen dangers, an orphan struggles to survive at the very bottom of society. Beaten and abandoned, his hopes crushed by a cruel world, he still clings to a simple dream—to live, to be loved, and to one day have a family. It is not an ambitious wish, yet even that is beyond his reach. Avoided as if he were the plague himself, an outcast of society. He sometimes feels as if he does not belong in this world, as if the very world he was born into rejects his existence. Hated by all sane living things. His mind is fractured, his body weak and tired. And in his struggle to survive, the world’s fragile order begins to crack.

The story follows the adventure of the 12th Unit.

At the age of 40, I saw the sky turn red, not because of the sunset, but because of the fire that covered the sun. In front of me stood a man. He called himself God, laughing over a pile of corpses of the strongest people who had ever protected the earth while shouting Eldora's name. And me? I was just trash that had survived too long only to witness the end of everything. “If only I had the strength... if only they hadn't believed this bastard...” As the scorching heat burned my lungs, only one thing crossed my mind: If you choose to worship a false God, then I will come as the Devil to destroy the God you worship." Then, darkness. And what is this smell... it's the smell of my home twenty years ago!!!
