But when he finds camaraderie with an abused yet purehearted boy, he rebels and experiences emotions he didn't know existed. Then tragedies disrupt Natsu's improving life and tear him away from the people he cares about. A mysterious "family friend" drags him halfway across the world to reveal an unsettling secret: Natsu is half-vampire, those expected to murder a human they fall for. Can he brave this new life when his friend has left a dangerous, unconventional mark on his heart? *Two time Wattpad Editor's Pick Jan 2018 & Oct 2020*

As a kid, Raphael was a homophobic bully. Now, at age 23, he's grown out of the bully act. His homophobia? Still there, but it doesn't show often―after all, there are no gay people around him. Just his mom, ex-girlfriend, and daughter, Mia. Or so he thinks, until a phone call one morning comes with news that puts him face-to-face with his prejudice. But shaking prejudice is hard when your ashamed family, some hungry reporters, and a stubborn gay activist are breathing down your neck. Changing is hard, especially when you've buried skeletons.

This journal was intended to recount how I, Noble Malik, a leader of the World Management realm, was transported to a strange world and forced to climb the corporate ladder in order to return home. Inadvertently, it seems to have become a diary about the odd worlds and dangerous mysteries I encounter on business trips with my partner, whose secrets and four-dimensional personality leave me at a loss---yet intrigued. And if the reader wants a literary perspective, I suppose it's about how a workaholic loner unexpectedly learns more about what moves people and himself while uncovering a universe-shattering conspiracy. But honestly, that's too philosophical and romantic. I just wanted to see my cat, Darla, again.
