"Beneath the Spotlight"

Summery: To the public, Rin Kiyama is Japan’s brightest star—smiling eyes, honey-dipped words, and a charm so soft it melts crowds across Asia. He’s the sunshine center of the nation’s most popular boy group, the kind of man who bows politely on shows and flirts just enough to make hearts race. But when the cameras turn off, that golden glow fades fast. Off-screen, Rin is sharp-tongued, hot-tempered, and dangerously clever—a bad boy with a reputation for breaking the rules and dodging emotions. He’s tired of pretending to be the perfect fantasy everyone wants. What he craves now is something real—and he’s found it in the last person he ever expected. Yuna Saeki is a legend in her own right—CEO of a rising entertainment empire, a former actress with a voice that once dominated the charts, and a woman known for being as beautiful as she is terrifying. Ice-cold in boardrooms, unshakable in interviews, and completely immune to idols—until Rin walks into her office with a crooked smile and eyes that say he already owns her. Their partnership is just business. On paper. But behind closed doors, Rin sheds his fake smiles. He sneaks gentle touches—pulling her into unexpected hugs, letting her braid his hair when she gets close. He curls up beside her in quiet moments, resting his head on her shoulder, just being in her space. And Yuna—strong, composed Yuna—finds herself drawn in by the unexpected sweetness of a man who’s so genuine with her. She’s cold. He’s colder. But their moments together burn with a tension neither of them can deny.

Dustbound Prophecies

Ḥamād, a soldier scarred by tragedy, thought death would bring an end to his pain. Instead, he awakens in a desolate, unfamiliar world where the sands whisper ancient secrets and the moonlight carries otherworldly power. This is no ordinary afterlife—it is a realm teeming with monstrous creatures, humanoid predators with wolf-like heads, and djinn wielding immense yet enigmatic powers. Ḥamād's new body, however, bears a sinister legacy: it once belonged to a shayṫān, a being despised across dimensions as a harbinger of destruction. Haunted by this revelation, he must uncover the mysteries of his own identity while battling the prejudices that come with his inherited form. But survival in this harsh and unforgiving world is no simple task. The rules are different, the enemies are relentless, and the astral energies sustaining his fragile existence threaten to run dry at any moment. Allies and enemies blur together, and trust becomes a dangerous gamble. His quest for answers is intertwined with deadly battles, cunning survival tactics, and a reluctant alliance with forces he barely understands. At the heart of it all lies a chilling question: can a man with such a cursed body ever find peace, or is he destined to repeat the cycle of vengeance and despair that consumed him in his first life? With its rich infusion of Middle Eastern mythology, layered world-building, and a protagonist caught between redemption and ruin, "Dustbound Prophecies" is a progressive fantasy saga that delves deep into the meaning of survival, the weight of identity, and the power of second chances. An epic journey awaits—one that will challenge the boundaries of fate and the very essence of what it means to live.
