Compilation of short stories based on original poems written by the author.

In a world where MegaFauna crawl through interdimensional Gates and Cities run on ancient steam engines, chaos and (not so great) comedy collide in Past Life Hunter- a wild, slow-burning, genre-bending epic where nothing is sacred, everything is extra, and EVERY trope gets ‘lovingly’ mentioned.
Enter Delphina de Velasques, Sword Master, Ducal Lady, full-time Hunter, and of course, the Otome Villainess. Accompanied by a chaotic party, including a mysterious man who emerged safely from one of the Gates. Delphina will battle immense monstrosities, navigate dysfunctional Guild (and Noble) politics, and endure side-quests to survive the system’s BS and maybe, save the world in the process.
Equal parts parody and homage, this Epic Fantasy is a love letter to webnovel readers who want action, skills, and just the right amount of emotional damage (and murder). Warning: Contains strong female leads, weak men who learn, heavy & potentially triggering topics (tagged at the start of every chapter).

When Elara stumbles upon an antique music box in her late grandmother’s attic, she’s unexpectedly transported back to 1998—a time and place she only knew through old photographs. Struggling to fit in with baggy jeans, grunge music, and high school drama, Elara soon finds herself face-to-face with Liam Walker, the charming quarterback she once adored.
In this surreal second chance, Elara has the opportunity to rewrite her own story. But as the line between past and present blurs, she must decide if she’s ready to change her future, and maybe even win the heart of the boy she’s only ever dreamed of.

Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin.
“Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.”
“He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.”
—
Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice.
Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress - and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire.
But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor's heart, Elisana's world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects - she walks away from the crown.
Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook - not as his Empress, but as his equal.
Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing - where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

Lana never meant to stand out. But her silence made her a target, her intelligence sparked envy, and even her smile was met with hate. One day, she’s locked in a school bathroom—alone, hungry, and afraid.
That night, everything falls apart. Her parents die in a car crash, and she returns home only to find their lifeless bodies.
In the depths of grief, memories surface—of a girl in a novel who looks just like her. The same name, the same pain, the same fate. As the line between reality and fiction begins to blur, Lana faces a haunting question: Is this just a nightmare... or the beginning of another world?

Seon was more than just an actor—he was Elena’s light in the darkness, the voice that made her heart feel less alone. She had never met him, never spoken his name in his presence, but his existence was enough to tether her to this world. Until the day he was gone.
The headlines scream his name. The world mourns, but no one grieves like Elena does. His death feels like an unbearable void, a wound that will never heal. The days stretch into an endless haze of sorrow until, one night, through a blur of tears, she closes her eyes… and wakes up in the past.
A year before Seon’s suicide. A year before the world loses him.
To the world, he is still a rising star, dazzling and untouchable. But now, Elena can see beyond the bright lights—the exhaustion, the loneliness, the silent weight pressing down on his soul. She knows how this story ends. And if time has given her this impossible second chance, she refuses to let him slip away.
But loving someone who stands on the edge of oblivion is like trying to hold onto a fading dream. No matter how much she reaches for him, the past is unyielding, fate already written in the stars. As she walks the fragile line between hope and despair, one question lingers—can love truly transcend time and space, or is she only delaying the inevitable?
A poignant tale of love, loss, and fate, Love You Across Time and Space explores the aching desire to change the past and the heartbreaking reality of those who carry the weight of the world alone.

Elena had always believed in the slow burn — the kind of love that simmers quietly, steadily, and eventually boils over into something unshakable. That’s what she thought she had with Marcus. Six years, three apartments, a shared Spotify playlist, and one very stubborn golden retriever named Luna. Their life had been built piece by piece, like a quilt. Cozy. Familiar. Safe.
Until it wasn’t.
Suddenly, her world is torn apart as the Marcus' phone screen lights up with a message from another girl. Through heartbreak and pain, the world continues to turn.
Then came Rowan. He was the new baker in town, with flour on his jeans and a crooked smile that tugged at something she thought she’d buried. He learned her rhythms. Her silences. Her laugh.
One night, under a sky full of stars and the gentle hum of crickets, Elena looked at him across the porch and asked, “How do you know when something’s real?”
Rowan leaned back, eyes reflecting moonlight. “When it doesn’t need to hurt to be worth it.”
She reached for his hand.
And just like that, the wildflowers bloomed again.

Born in a world where mana defines everything — power, status, even existence — Aizen Caelmir was born with none. Labeled a failure, ignored by his noble family, and discarded by society… he should’ve been broken. But the world forgot one thing: Not all power comes from mana.
Enrolled in the elite Zenrai Academy, Aizen must navigate elemental exams, rival prodigies, masked cults, ancient bloodlines, and a growing darkness that no one sees coming.
Between cold rivals, stormborn queens, and friends with secrets of their own — his journey has just begun.
He’s not here to prove himself.
He’s here to break the system.
