Green Onion

A tired elementary school teacher dies of exhaustion and awakens as the Oracle Stone of a dying Kobold and Goblin tribe on the brink of extinction. Unable to see the future, he can only speak - and uses his voice to teach the monster children hygiene, farming, communication, and cooperation, one misunderstood 'divine decree' at a time. Years later, the world discovers a civilized monster tribe with iron discipline, refined manners, and agriculture far surpassing humankind's - and has to decide whether that is a miracle or a threat.

Morgan

Julian Vance was once a brilliant strategist who served an emperor's rise to power, only to drink poison and step quietly into death when the laws of survival at court demanded it.

Ivy Violet

When tech mogul Victor Sterling falls through a space-time rift and crash-lands on struggling content creator Chloe Vance's balcony, he loses everything that ever defined him: his empire, his AI assistant, and his ability to operate a rice cooker. Stranded in a "primitive" world with a 30-day countdown to reactivate his only way home, Victor strikes a deal with Chloe: he'll star in her viral comedy videos in exchange for room, board, and survival lessons. But as their fake-it-till-you-make-it arrangement turns their lives upside down, both discover something neither expected -- that being truly seen matters more than being in control. With Victor's corporate empire scheming to declare him dead and Chloe's own wounds warning her not to trust anyone with a camera pointed at them, they'll have to choose: the world they know, or each other.

Sentenced to Brilliance

Ivy Pixie

In the fog-drenched empire of Valerand, where gothic spires pierce a sky thick with arcane sorcery, a modern criminal profiler awakens inside the body of Vivian Voss — a villainess condemned to death for the alleged poisoning of the Crown Prince. Armed with nothing but twenty-first century psychology and a Black Dossier system inherited from the body's original soul, she must do what no court sorcerer has managed: profile the true killer before the Grand Arbiter's verdict seals her fate. That arbiter is Gavin Blackthorn — a disgraced prince turned empire's most ruthless judge, whose heterochromatic eyes can detect any lie ever spoken. He sees through every deception in the realm. Every deception, except hers. As each murder case pulls them deeper into the shadow of the Church's most dangerous conspiracy, the line between adversary and ally dissolves — and the most perilous thing either of them will ever face is not a nameless killer, but the moment they allow the other to truly see them. In a world that sentences the wicked to death, brilliance may be the only crime worth committing.

Pure Heresy

jNothel

The Arbiter of the Sanguine Order has spent his life enforcing the blood laws he was born to protect — sacrificing everything that made him human to keep the dynasty intact.

When the inherited blood contract between them is activated, neither expects the other to be the one thing the Order cannot legislate against. As an enemy weaponizes the very law Caine enforces to tear Vera away from him, they must choose: uphold the purity that has always been their cage, or commit the one act the Order calls unforgivable.

The Fiancée Between Two Skies

meetmymoon

In the city of Meridian, where glass towers stand beside ancient castles and sky trains run above cobblestone streets, Aveline Corvayne has been promised to Julian Veyr — heir to the most powerful house in the city and keeper of the Meridian Engine, the machine that holds their world together. The engagement is perfect. Aveline is prepared. And then, the night before the betrothal ceremony, she sees a man in the mirror who is not Julian. He has Julian's face and a different soul entirely. He calls himself Caelan Veyr, and he comes from Nocturne Meridian — a parallel city existing beneath a violet sky, dissolving piece by piece from reality. He tells her the engagement contract she is about to sign has two layers of ink. He tells her one world is being chosen to survive. He tells her she is the one doing the choosing — whether she knows it or not. Caught between a fiancé who offers safety and a man who offers truth, between a world that is stable and a world that is dying, Aveline must unravel the conspiracy buried inside the Accord that binds her — before the machine beneath both cities makes the choice for her. Because the Meridian Engine does not care who she loves. It only cares which sky gets to remain.

Moon Sequence

hwahwachan

In the coastal city of Valmere, where glass towers mirror a silver bay and light installations pass for dreams, Elara Voss — a young lighting designer who vanished from the art world after a stage accident — is hired to resurrect The Moonwell, an abandoned glass hotel perched on a cliff. Her employer is Adrien Solace: cold, controlled, and never photographed. He wants the hotel restored before it is demolished. What he does not tell her is that his sister disappeared inside its walls ten years ago, during a light show not unlike the one Elara is being asked to create. As Elara installs mirrors, reflective glass, and low-frequency sound across the hotel, strange images begin to surface — shadows beneath water, an unfinished melody, words etched in light: don't trust the moon. Between the radiant city and the cold nights at sea, Elara and Adrien uncover that The Moonwell was never haunted. It has been holding a truth staged too perfectly to question. To find it, they will have to stop controlling what the light reveals — and let themselves be seen in the dark.
