The Life Of Zen

John_Arthur2217
In the year 2044, Zen embarks on his junior year of college full of ambition, excitement, and hope. Dreaming of a future shaped by hard work and close friendships, he finds himself entangled with a group of classmates that seem to offer everything he’s been looking for—connection, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. Among them is Yu, a friend who quickly becomes the center of Zen’s attention. What begins as an innocent bond soon deepens, clouded by misunderstandings, manipulations, and emotional traps that Zen is too kind-hearted—or too blind—to see. As the months pass, Yu’s true nature unravels, controlling Zen’s social life, ambitions, and even his emotions. Despite warnings from teachers and friends, Zen’s loyalty keeps him tethered to a friendship that was never as genuine as it seemed. When a holiday trip abroad brings everything to a head, Zen is forced to make a painful choice: stay in a toxic friendship or finally break free. In the aftermath of betrayal, a formal case is opened, secrets are exposed, and Zen is left questioning the very foundation of trust and friendship. Now facing a pivotal moment in his life, Zen must find the strength to heal, rebuild, and chase the dreams that nearly slipped away. Will he rise from the ruins of betrayal, or will the weight of the past crush the future he’s fighting for? An emotional coming-of-age story about resilience, heartbreak, and the silent battles fought within the walls of college life.

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!
