In a city where silence is sold,and every truth buried under rubble and ruin,one woman dares to lift the lens — and pull the trigger.

Alishba, a photographer with fire in her veins and secrets in her shadow, never meant to become the story herself. But when her brother vanishes without a trace and the whispers around her turn into warnings, she steps into a world where cameras aren’t weapons — they’re threats.

Reyan, a disavowed pilot with a past drenched in classified smoke, returns not as a savior, but as a storm. Bound by blood and betrayal, their paths don’t cross — they collide. And what begins as a rescue, soon unravels into a rebellion.

From the heat-slicked streets of Lahore to the cold embers of desert secrets,Midnight Emberis a tale of two broken souls who were never meant to be heroes — only firestarters.

Because when villains fall in love,the world doesn’t burn by accident.

It choosesto.

It's been six months, six months since her brother disappeared, never to be seen again. Seventeen-year old, Emery Kane still lives in the shadows of that tragic night, still hidden away from the truth of her small innocent town.

Until one night, when she is sent a cryptic message stating that her brother going missing was never an accident. So Emery dives into a new world of lies, betrayal, dangerous alliances, and the war between love and reasoning.

Now haunted by guilt, she has to learn to swim through the misty waters of her past, run from the ghosts within her mind. And to decide how far she's willing to go, and how far she's willing to become. In the aftermath of a burning secret that won't only change her, but everything she was once taught to believe.

Seventeen years ago, a girl was sent to another world by a glowing goddess named Aris. Blessed with powerful magical attributes—but curiously, no holy power.

And now the girl has become Mira d'Ark. She lives a peaceful life in the sun-kissed fishing town of Mermaid’s Cove.

She doesn’t fight monsters.She doesn’t wear holy robes.And she certainly doesn’t consider herself a saintess.

But the townsfolk think otherwise.

From healing wounds and calling rain, to helping lost adventurers and tending the soil, Mira's magic has touched everyone in town.

But as her seventeenth birthday dawns and cake is served at the Adventurer's Guild, a new arrival at the edge of town will gently begin to shift the tides of Mira’s peaceful world.

Because sometimes, even a girl who doesn’t believe she’s a saintess... is exactly what the world needs.

Two friends face a mysterious theft case, a serious one, in a celebratory. And it's up to the detective to find out who is who and which is which.

**She was the school's most cunning "airhead"—a humanities prodigy. He was the most emotionally inept "monster"—a science genius.**

On stage, they clashed.

Off stage, they tested the waters.

Two secret identities.

Two unspoken crushes.

One invisible game of tug-of-war.

She thought she'd hidden herself perfectly.

Little did she know...

She’s the calm in every storm. A sharp suit, a sharper mind, emotionally unavailable, oblivious to her own charm and the quiet obsession of half the campus—Iradoesn’t chase, doesn’t flinch, and definitely doesn’t fall. She keeps her head down, her voice low, and her personal life locked behind professional smiles.

And maybe—just maybe—there’s more to this than just a crush.

Vanya fell first But Ira fell harder

After humanity gained civilization, people learned to name things. Once named, each object gained a “Story-Command.”

Early schools of thought saw this ability as a kind of spell—believing that names and titles could control people and things, or give contracts their binding power.

Nowadays, as civilization has advanced, the Story-Commandsystem has grown ever more sophisticated—and ever more powerful...

—Excerpt from Introduction to Story-Command

Ever since she was a child, Yay Zhongxia has had a unique gift: she can see the narrative—the descriptive text—attached to any object she looks at. She thought only one other person in the world shared this ability, a mysterious girl she met once in her childhood.

That is, until high school, when she and her twin sister Yuni stumble into a strange “one-book school” called Marelin High. There, she discovers a whole community of people who can see narrative, and even finds clues about that girl from her past.

At Marelin, everyone creates magic through writing—this is called Story-Command.

Dueling, cooking, even shipping your favorite couples—all can be achieved with the power of Story-Command. Some even say that adding a good luck meme from your elders boosts the effect!

But there’s a catch—once a story is written, it must be finished, or disaster will follow...

So, freshmen, pick up your fountain pens and ink—get ready to experience the true power of words!

🌈 BL and ghost stories are magic. So are mysteries, crackfics, and even elder memes—they can all be used in battle!
