Summary
“We’re both chasing ghosts, are we not?” said the delusional prince with a snide smile. “Your prince died in Duscur, and my beloved Felix never returned from the Battle of Avalon Hill.”
Felix shook at the sound of those words and he whirled around, kicking over the nearest church bench in rage. As he ran out of the cathedral, he heard the Boar laugh softly and cruelly twist the knife he’d plunged into the heart of the friend he once claimed to adore and love.
Once back in his room in the dormitory, Felix lifted his sword and gazed at his own reflection in the blade.
That bruised warrior was not the Prince’s beloved friend. The Prince’s beloved friend was as stern as he was kind—a light in the darkest of nights. He was the Prince’s protector and friend, his lifelong companion and the love of his life. The young swordsman before him was as cowardly as he was cruel—another dark cloud that blotted out the sun.

Summary
The look in his eyes just after killing this man in the Mingle game.
Feral, soulless. Teeth almost bared, chest heaving from the strain. Anything to claim victory.
Of course Jung-bae was grateful for surviving - it was the most logical choice he could make for them - but he couldn't stop the horror from seeping into his features as he stared at Young-Il, still holding the now lifeless, limp, body into his arms before discarding it on the floor and staring back at him - sending the signal that what happened was in any way justified, the extent of a sacrifice he made for both of them to survive.

Summary
BOOM!
Seonghwa started laughing. Loud, unhinged, from deep in his chest.
He wanted to taste the flames, find the closest corpse he could and shove his tongue down its throat until his mouth was coated in blood. His entire body was vibrating against his bones, his head dizzy from the sheer pleasure of watching as one of his own turned to ash right before his eyes.
“Mingi,” he whispered like it was a secret, taking a step closer to the wreckage. “You fucking dramatic genius. You absolute whore— “
or the one where two crime lords—brothers Seonghwa and San—are at war with each other for their late father's throne at the head of the High Table when outside forces suddenly start to complicate things in ways they never saw coming

Summary
In-ho enters the Game as Player 132 with one fragile hope: to survive and return to the life still waiting for him. But survival carves its own path. Each round strips away something—his ideals, his mercy, his belief in who he is. What begins as a desperate bid to save himself becomes a slow, shattering evolution into something harder, colder… something Il-nam has been watching all along.
Now, years later, In-ho tells the story for the first time—only to Gi-hun, the man he’s loved for half a decade and raised a daughter with. He wants to believe the past is buried. That the worst of him stayed behind in the Game. But as the memories return, so do the cracks he tried to seal. What he doesn't know is that Gi-hun already sees him—all of him—and never stopped choosing him, even at his most broken.

Summary
People bound by fate will always find each other.”
Born under the dark moon, Princess Cirilla arrived as a gift to her kingdom, but also carried a curse. Destined to be the destroyer of realms, the princess holds within her the ancient and ancestral power of her mother, a powerful witch and priestess of the goddess Hecate. Raised under the protection of her parents, and trained to be both a witch and a warrior queen, Cirilla never imagined her fate had been sealed since birth.
When she travels with Yennefer, they are intercepted by a group of knights from the enemy kingdom, sent by the king to capture the cursed princess. What they didn’t expect was fate weaving its threads to entwine the cursed princess and the Bloodthirsty Cahir — a knight haunted by dreams of her face for years, now driven to hunt her down.
AU inspired by the song “Daylight” by David Kushner, where I reimagine the fate of Ciri and Cahir. This is Act I of a three-book series set in a world created by me.

Summary
The Hidden Empire glitters with silk and gold, but beneath the shine, it rots. In the Upper Rings, nobles drown in wealth and false smiles, while in the Lower Rings, families starve and gangs fight for scraps. At the center stand four brothers. Raph, the eldest, shoulders the weight of becoming the next Hamato heir. Leo and Donnie, the inseparable twins, charm courts and ballrooms even as the performance slowly suffocates them. Mikey, the youngest, hides behind a smile, underestimated though a dangerous power churns inside him.
The nobles’ greed poisons everything. Their games leave scars on the working class, their cruelty fuels unrest, and their hunger for control spreads like a disease. In the shadows, gangs rise to meet them, but none escape the iron grip of the Syndicate, whose reach coils from the gutter to the golden courts.
Yet whispers stir of masked figures moving beneath chandeliers and alleys alike. They don’t only perform. They plan. They hunt corruption, unravel murders, expose secrets buried deep. Ten years ago, a sister vanished. Ten years ago, her name was erased. Now the past claws back, and with it, a name the Empire fears.
M.I.A.
Chaos is only beginning.
