nocturnal

Yin Lie has always been an outsider in the glittering, rain-slicked canyons of Nocturnal Shadows City. He navigates the metropolis like a phantom, his true nature—a dangerous combination of heightened senses and a chilling aura—kept under a tight leash. His life of concealment ends in a hail of gunfire at the Old Docks. When a mysterious, energy-filled case cracks open, the dormant power within him erupts with devastating force. Two conflicting mutations awaken and declare war for his soul: the savage, instinct-driven strength of a lupine predator and the cold, orderly power of cryokinesis. This is the curse of the "Frost Wolf"—a lineage that promises immense power at the cost of one's humanity.

Update on the Novel: Volume 1 has concluded with 115 chapters. The novel will be on hiatus for a while before Volume 2 begins. Volume 2 will introduce a new concept known as Owl Arcs. These arcs follow Taehyun and his companions during their journey before arriving in Korea. They form a core part of the main narrative rather than functioning as traditional flashbacks, gradually revealing the events that shaped the characters and their present circumstances. Later volumes will also feature dedicated character arcs for each of the five fugitives, exploring their individual pasts, how they survived, and the circumstances that ultimately led to them becoming fugitives. These will be clearly distinguished from Owl Arcs with titles such as “Alicia Fleur's Story START.” Six organisations. Six leaders. One relentless struggle for power. Caught in the middle of their conflict were five fugitives, people whose childhoods were anything but ordinary. Raised in violence and forced to survive through whatever means necessary, they eventually escaped the lives that had shaped them. Now adults, they continue running from the world that created them. Then, following a plane crash, they found a young boy. Rather than leave him behind, the five criminals took him with them and raised him in the shadows, far from the life he was ever meant to know. Years later, after countless brutal trials and bloodstained lessons, they return him to his homeland of Korea with one simple hope: That he can finally live as an ordinary teenager. Instead, Taehyun Navarro finds himself enrolled in a prestigious school where status is everything and intelligence can decide your future. Beneath its uniforms, classrooms, and ordinary teenage life lies another kind of battlefield. One built on manipulation, ambition, competition, and hidden agendas. Strangely enough, Taehyun feels at home. Compared to the world that raised him, school might be the closest thing to normality he has ever known. But as he tries to abandon the instincts that once kept him alive, a question begins to follow him: Can someone raised to survive ever truly learn how to live? And what does it truly mean to be normal? And if Taehyun makes it to graduation, will he continue toward the ordinary life he desperately wants or will he return to the roots he's spent years running from? Because while Taehyun fights to build a future, neither he nor the five people who raised him realise one simple truth: The past never stays buried.
