One elite school. One dead student. Two boys who can’t stand each other… and can’t stay away. Welcome to Blackwell Academy. The most prestigious high school in the country, where the rich are powerful, the powerful are dangerous. And everyone is playing a role in the chain. At the top of the chain? The Glass Circle……six untouchable students born into legacy, wealth, and manipulation. They are feared, worshipped and corrupt to the core. One night, one of them, ends up dead. What happens when Ash Rivera….a quiet, scholarship student from the slums of the city…witnesses the one thing he was never meant to see? He wasn’t supposed to be at that party. He wasn’t meant to see the body fall from the rooftop. He wasn’t meant to survive it. He definitely wasn’t supposed to catch Dominic Vale’s attention. But one wrong night changes everything. Now Ash is the only witness to a murder, and someone knows he saw too much. They want him silent. “Keep your mouth shut, Rivera. Or you’ll be next. You don’t belong here…and you’ll die trying to." But the real danger isn’t the killer. It’s Dominic Vale…..Blackwell’s golden boy and Ash’s sworn enemy. Because Dominic has his own secrets. His own obsessions. And why does he keep saying: “Ash Rivera is mine. No one touches him… no one… except me.” As Ash digs deeper into the truth behind the Glass Circle, one thing becomes clear: Love is dangerous. And the truth? Might get you killed. Content Warning: This novel contains mature themes, including strong language, dark romance, psychological tension, steamy scenes, and emotional triggers.

Rhea Nyx was supposed to have her forever. A mate bond. A pack. A future. But forever shattered the day he walked away, leaving her broken, pregnant, and alone in a sterile hospital room that didn’t care if she lived or died. Now, she’s just surviving. Barely.

But when the people she's grown to protect are threatened, Rhea does what wolves do best—she fights back. Hard. And just when she thinks she's got nothing left to lose, she meets him. Her second chance mate. Only… he’s not just a man. He’s a hybrid. A set toy. Built in a lab, owned by monsters, trained to obey. And yet—he looks at her like she’s the only real thing in the world. Now Rhea has to make a choice. Burn it all down, or become the very thing that could break her mate. This is a story about found family, the soft ache of grief, the sharp edge of survival—and the kind of love that doesn’t ask for permission.

This story has been dropped!! In the desolate urban sprawl, there existed a boy named Steven – a name as commonplace as the concrete beneath his worn-out shoes. His figure, terribly slender, bore the weight of days without sustenance, a stark reflection of the harsh life within the shadows of the towering skyscrapers. His disheveled appearance spoke of deprivation; his clothing, little more than rags haphazardly sewn together, clung to his meager frame. Steven's features, though obscured by grime, revealed a haunting contrast. His black hair, adorned with a few rebellious red strands, framed a face marked by hardship. His pupils, black with a faint but discernible red tint, mirrored the desolation etched into his soul. Staring into the familiar darkness that enveloped his existence, Steven couldn't help but voice the silent question that echoed in his mind, "When is this going to end?" The abyss, seemingly attuned to his despair, responded with a transformative touch. The surroundings, once stagnant and oppressive, began to shift and change before him, trapping him in a perpetual cycle of witnessing his own tragic past unfold. Transported back to the age of six, Steven found himself amidst the warmth of familial joy, his parents' and his own expressions radiating happiness. Yet, even in the midst of this fleeting respite, the relentless cycle persisted, as if destiny reveled in replaying the moments that fueled the flames of his recurrent nightmares. Fighting against the inexorable pull of his haunting memories, Steven, like a slum-bound ghost, yearned for an end to the perpetual loop. The city's towers cast long shadows over his struggle, and the contrast between the opulence above and his desolation below fueled his determination for a better life. In the midst of this dire reality, Steven's path took an unexpected turn when he made the resolute decision to enlist in the military. The armed forces, a gateway to opportunity and escape from the slum's oppressive grasp, promised a chance to break free from the shackles of his impoverished past. Little did Steven know that his journey would extend far beyond the familiar streets of the slums. The military, equipped with advanced technology and knowledge of other dimensions, opened doors to realms previously unimaginable. As he explored new universes and studied the cosmic mysteries, Steven's quest for a better life evolved into a cosmic odyssey, challenging not only the limits of his physical existence but also the boundaries of reality itself. Throughout this transformative journey, Steven, emotionally reserved and scarred by the echoes of his past, found solace in the bonds forged amidst the trials of the military. Trust and love became the cornerstones of his emotional awakening, as he learned to unveil the layers of vulnerability hidden beneath his stoic exterior. As Steven navigates the interwoven tapestry of action, tragedy, romance, sci-fi, adventure, and dimensions, the narrative expands to reflect the complexity of his existence. The story, no longer confined to the limitations of the slums, becomes a symphony of emotions, echoing the resilient spirit of a young man determined to transcend the shadows of his past and embrace the limitless possibilities that unfold across the cosmic expanse.

He awoke with no name, no past—only the weight of steel clasped around his arms. The gauntlets spoke. They remembered when he could not. In a world where hunters rise through levels, where the strongest climb past 100 and carve their names into history, he starts at the bottom—an amnesiac assassin with nothing but instinct, skill, and the one-of-a-kind weapon fused to his body: the Ego Gauntlets, a living armament that shifts between blades, guns, shields, and more. Every contract he takes drags him deeper into shadows filled with monsters, conspiracies, and secrets buried by governments and kings. Every battle pushes him closer to the truth of who he once was. But leveling is slow. Enemies are ruthless. And compared to legends who can annihilate armies, he is still nothing more than a flicker of shadow. Yet even a shadow can grow sharper. And in the silence between kills, his gauntlets laugh, whisper, and evolve with him. The journey of the nameless assassin begins—one contract, one level, one secret at a time.
