#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

Born in a casino and orphaned young, Daian forged a heart of steel in the ruthless underworld. For years, she bided her time, nurturing a singular obsession: revenge against the Chan family, Thailand's untouchable criminal dynasty. At adulthood’s threshold, she ventures alone into their den. Fate gifted her beauty, and she wields it like a blade. At a solemn funeral in a sacred temple, she deliberately catches the eye of Angwei, the Chan family's cold-blooded heir. Winning his favor is merely a step toward her endgame. In a moment of deep intimacy, his voice rumbles against her ear: "Your body belongs only to me. If you ever betray me, I will kill you myself." Her body stiffens for half a heartbeat. Later, when the time comes to leave him, she uses the gun assembly skills he taught her. Her aim is steady, the barrel pointed at his heart – one second faster than him. Angwei grabs her hand, forcing the gun deeper against his chest. An inscrutable smile touches his eyes. "Good." They stand locked in a silent duel, all former tenderness vanished. Finally, he demands, voice thick with gravel, "Tell me the truth. Did you ever love me?" She stares into the fierce cruelty shadowing his face – a cruelty tinged with disappointment. She refuses to answer. Her fingers tremble. He wrenches the barrel from her grip, swinging it to aim at another man. His obsidian eyes are fathomless, his voice lethally soft: "Then let me ask differently. Did you sleep with him?" Loving you... was walking willingly into your own trap.

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

Meanwhile her parents turned their backs on her got into their luxury sports car and left her on the road in the hands of those ruffians . She couldn't help but feel a sense of abandonment and hopelessness.

In a world where mana governs the laws of nature and strength dictates fate, Eric—a former physicist who died of cancer at the age of 36—is reborn into a universe ruled by empires, ancestral clans, mystical beasts, and elemental magic. Now named Erikan, he grows up in a seemingly quiet remote village, raised by Stella, a gentle yet enigmatic healer, and Gaël, a clumsy blacksmith with a heart of gold. But Eric is no ordinary child. Haunted by the memories of his past life and the massacre of his true family—the Blood Flames Clan—he silently wrestles with reconciling scientific logic and mystical phenomena. Every gesture, every occurrence, every fragment of mana becomes an equation to solve. Through grueling training, painful introspection, and a progressive awakening to forbidden powers, Eric embarks on a unique journey: one to redefine reality itself. He doesn't just seek power. He seeks to understand, to model, to rewrite the laws of mana. His hidden affinity: Time. But as looming threats emerge—demons, clashing empires, and long-buried secrets of noble families—Eric will face a choice: live in the shadow of his theories, or ignite the world with his truth.

Sophia has always lived in a world of wealth and expectations. As the only daughter of a powerful businessman, she has everything—beauty, intelligence, and success as a doctor. But beneath the surface, her life isn’t as perfect as it seems. A stepmother who wants her gone, a father blinded by love, and a responsibility she never asked for weigh heavily on her shoulders. Jane, on the other hand, knows struggle all too well. Orphaned young and raised by her grandmother, she has fought for everything—her education, her independence, her future. In a city where survival is a daily battle, she refuses to depend on anyone. One night, fate throws them together. A near accident. A locked door. A choice between trust and uncertainty. What starts as a chance meeting soon becomes something more. In a world where they stand on opposite ends—privilege and hardship, order and chaos—an unspoken bond begins to form. 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?

Forgotten friends and unknown enemies began knocking at her door and while she struggled to find her way between the past and the present, the winds of war were already blowing across her home. I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.
