She awakens as a seed in a rotting forest. No name. No memories. No body—only roots. A mysterious system guides her: Grow. Survive. Evolve. Buried in an ancient valley no one enters—and no one leaves—she must navigate the silence, the soil, and the secrets of a forgotten world. The rot is spreading. Something watches from below. And she is the only thing in the forest still learning how to hope. Poetic dark fantasy. Deep system lore. Slow-burn transformation. Maybe romance, IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Watch her grow—not into a warrior, but into a sanctuary. --------------------------------------------------- A Note From the Author: Hi there! This is my very first book being shared with the world, and… I’m a little nervous. Please be gentle with me—I have a fragile glass heart. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ This story is the result of months (okay, years) of dreaming, writing, rewriting, and researching things like ancient trees, fantasy ecosystems, and mythological creatures I can barely pronounce. It's a deeply personal world, and I'm incredibly excited—and terrified—to finally show it to someone other than my dog. Bloom: Becoming the World Tree is a high fantasy story rooted in both Western and Eastern mythology but reimagined through my own voice. Expect themes of growth, loneliness, healing, survival, and sanctuary. There are echoes of elves, dwarves, beastkin, spirits, and creatures who have been forgotten by the rest of the world… just like the little Seedling who wakes up alone in the dark. I’ve poured my heart (and probably a few brain cells) into building this world carefully. That said—I'm still human! If anything feels off, if I missed something, or if you think a detail could be more accurate, please let me know. I truly want to improve and do right by the story, and by you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on my fragile little Seedling. I hope she grows into something you’ll come to love, too. — Kismet (シ_ _)シ

The Story: A Journey of Broken Trust and Unexpected Love What would you do if the person you loved most tried to kill you? Firion never saw it coming—literally. The last thing his eyes ever saw was her. The woman he trusted. The one he would’ve died for. And then… she threw acid in his face and walked away like he meant nothing. Now, scarred, half-blind, and alone in the wild, Firion is just trying to survive. But then she appears—not his betrayer, but a stranger. A woman with no reason to help him… and yet, she does. Can kindness from a stranger heal the wounds of betrayal? She carried him from the woods. He didn’t know her name… but those horns—he’d never forget. Would you trust someone who looks like the people who destroyed your life? He woke up in a stranger’s bed—safe, treated, warm. She had a gentle voice and a kindness Firion hadn’t felt in decades. But when his fingers brushed against her horns… Everything came crashing back. His village. The fire. The screams. She says she’s not like them. But how do you separate a person from the past they remind you of? In a world where demons burned his home, killed his family, and took everything from him—Firion never thought he’d wake up in a demon’s house. Let alone be saved by one. Is Kaida truly different… or is that what she wants him to believe?

Lin Xiaoyu was just a modern-day NEET with a love for snacks and naps—until she choked on a fish-shaped bun and reincarnated as a golden koi spirit in a chaotic xianxia world. No martial arts. No ambition. Just one maxed-out stat: Luck. Now mistaken for a divine being, Xiaoyu drifts through life hoping to avoid responsibilities, nap under sacred trees, and sneak snacks from immortal beasts. But her sleepy charm has attracted more than heavenly attention. A ghost merchant king with crimson eyes and dangerous devotion. Three overpowered cultivators who once called her "Master" and now guard her like doting elder brothers. Whether she's using a swordmaster’s blade as a backscratcher or being smuggled across sect borders in a treasure box, Xiaoyu's so-called lazy life is full of chaos, miscommunication, and far too much affection. She just wants to chill. The heavens want to crown her. And the men in her life? They’d tear the world apart just to keep her safe and smiling. Can Xiaoyu keep her nap schedule intact, or will fate—and a certain love—finally awaken the koi within? > Warning: Contains excessive pampering, zero world-saving urgency, and one sleepy koi who may (accidentally) become the heart of the cultivation realm.

But some lines aren’t meant to be crossed, and not every connection is easy to hold onto. When the past refuses to stay buried and expectations threaten to pull them apart, will they risk everything for a love they never saw coming?
