I dropped my new novel yester for Tapas new contest, which is an action fantasy, modern guide verse, BL. I know not many people cover how Espers/Hunters/Dungeon Closer events started - so I thought I'd delve into that! I've subbed to everyone above!
Dogmatic Dungeon Dominion
In a world where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, the boundary between reality & the supernatural has become dangerously thin. As dungeonsâhazardous rifts to other realms teeming with monstrous threatsâbegin to appear across the city, humanityâs last line of defence is the Hunter Association. At the heart of this crisis is Penn Jennson, a newly awakened Guide for Hunters (Espers/Awakeners) whose life is about to change dramatically.
At 27, Penn has left a promising military career to embrace his new role as a Guide. Guides, psychically linked with Hunters â individuals with extraordinary powersânavigate & seal the perilous dungeons that erupt throughout the city. Pennâs transition from soldier to Guide is rocky, especially when paired with Nathan Landry, a veteran Hunter known for his aloof demeanour & reckless tendencies.
Nathan, a seasoned Hunter, contrasts sharply with Pennâs disciplined, strategic mindset. Their partnership is strained, as Penn is methodical & focused on the greater good, while Nathan is impulsive & often dismissive of rules.
With dungeons appearing with alarming frequency, each a labyrinth of darkness filled with nightmarish creatures, Penn & Nathan must enter these dungeons, confront their inhabitants & seal them before the monsters can escape. Each mission tests their skills & teamwork, pushing their limits. Penn must adapt to his role & support Nathan while Nathan wrestles with his own demons and growing responsibilities.
As they delve deeper, they uncover a disturbing pattern suggesting the dungeons are part of a larger, sinister scheme. Navigating treacherous traps and confronting formidable dungeon bosses, they face a darkening cityscape where trust is scarce, & every decision could mean the difference between salvation and destruction.
Amid the chaos, Penn struggles with the loss of his former life and his growing attachment to Nathan - while Nathan battles a haunted past that threatens to push his Guide away.

And this is also my BL Fantasy Romance Novel with both wholesomeness and angst that I've released 2 months ago:
The Grave You Made
In a kingdom, where opulence reigns and secrets pile high, the annual week-long founding festival and ball occur within the palace walls. Nobles from far and wide gather at the detached palace for nights filled with masquerade balls, lavish dinners, and whispered intrigues.
Amidst the splendour of the gardens, Kaisan, an enchanting young man adorned in silk and lace, finds himself swept into a whirlwind romance when he encounters Rhaegal, a charming stranger lost in the revelry of the night. Mistaken identities lead to a fateful dance in the fountain, where laughter mingles with the sweet taste of wine and stolen kisses.
As the festival unfolds, Rhae and Kaisan's bond deepens with each passing moment, their days filled with stolen moments of passion and deep bonds. But when a truth is revealed at the grand dinner on the final evening, betrayal shatters their fragile connection, leaving Kaisan adrift in a sea of despair and confusion.
As Kaisan's fragile state threatens to consume him amidst the whispers of madness and rumours of tragedy, an offering of solace in the darkest of nights and unwavering devotion in the face of uncertainty may be the only path to healing.
With each tender touch and whispered word, Rhae strives to reclaim the heart of the man he once abandoned, praying that their love will be enough to guide them through the darkest of nights and into the dawn of a new day.
