Held

Cassian Ashborn is twenty years old, penniless, and invisible — a house servant with no family, no future, and no idea what he carries in his blood. Everything changes the night he stumbles into a hidden chamber beneath his lord's estate and touches an inscription that shouldn't exist. The floor glows. A voice speaks. A mark burns itself into his palm. He is the last descendant of the Forgotten God — a divine power so thoroughly erased from history that even his name was destroyed. Thousands of years ago, seven gods conspired to enslave humanity. The Forgotten God refused. They erased him for it. Now Cassian is hunted by the Pale Conclave, the Church's shadow enforcement arm that has spent centuries making sure this bloodline never resurfaces. Behind them, something older and far more dangerous — the Undying Court — wants the power for themselves. To survive, Cassian must unlock seven Divine Seals hidden inside his own bloodline, uncover the truth behind the Divine War, and expose a lie that has held an entire world in place for a thousand years. He starts with nothing. No power, no allies, no training. That changes too. Alongside a disgraced soldier with his own debts to settle and an operative who begins as his enemy and becomes something far more complicated, Cassian moves from fugitive to the one thing the gods who rewrote history were always afraid of. A witness who refuses to look away.

Miguel Kararas, a child abandoned due to his physical disability, witnesses the brutal murder of his foster mother, Eleanor, before being abducted by the Iron Claw crime syndicate. For 19 years, under the tutelage of the sadistic Dr. Dark, he is forged into 'The Scythe,' an emotionless killing machine now operating in the shadows fueled by deep-seated revenge. His life as an 'asset' changes when he meets Anya Molserat, an intelligent socialite held captive by the syndicate. Driven by an obsession with ownership and a need for vengeance, Miguel betrays the Iron Claw to free Anya. They begin a bloody escape, pursued by Syndicate Boss Mr. X and Anya’s cruel, possessive husband, Daniel Molserat. The truth is revealed: Daniel doesn't just want his wife back; he is the Iron Claw’s 'Angel Investor,' an ideologue behind the "Perfect Asset" project—designed to replace Miguel. Realizing their enemy is a two-headed monster, Miguel and Anya forge a brutal alliance tempered in raw intimacy, where every touch is a claim over bodies long treated as property. Now, from their dark lair, Miguel and Anya plan an invasion into the heart of Molserat Tech's power, preparing to destroy Mr. X and Daniel by pitting them against each other in a proxy war. However, the emergence of 'Khronos-Ghost,' an unknown phantom hacker, threatens to shatter their plans and prove that the price of freedom is far more brutal than they imagined.

His mother or the people closest to him in the new world?

Christian had always been different. From the moment he could remember, he found peace not in crowded classrooms or noisy playgrounds, but in the quiet corners where no one noticed him. His classmates called him “weird,” teachers worried he was too withdrawn, and every attempt at friendship felt like an unbearable weight pressing against his chest. For Christian, solitude wasn’t a punishment it was his safe haven. But growing up came with expectations. After graduation, the real world demanded interaction. His first job placed him in a bustling office, and the anxiety swallowed him whole. Shaking, suffocated, and unable to cope, he walked away from what others called “a dream career.” Just when failure seemed like his only companion, fate stepped in through the most unexpected visitor his cousin.

The girl didn’t laugh at his fears; instead, she held his trembling hand, taught him digital marketing, and showed him how the world could be navigated online without losing himself. From the comfort of his solitude, Christian’s creativity flourished. What began as small online experiments turned into a groundbreaking app that captured the world’s attention. From a loner who once feared people, he transformed into a billionaire innovator admired by millions—yet still deeply in love with the quietness that shaped him. “A Loner” is a moving story of fear, resilience, love, and the extraordinary power of embracing one’s uniqueness.
