Maramon
Seventeen-year-old Shady (who is also known as Sherry) has lived her entire life under the control of a mother who forced her into a role she never asked for. Her father abandoned her and her mother at birth, claiming that he only wanted a son. As a result, her mother has raised her as a perfect daughter, erasing Shady's true identity in favor of Sherry. While Sherry plays the part of a cheerful and obedient girl, Shady remains buried deep inside, a bitter, angry shadow of a boy who never had a chance to grow into himself. Now, after years of silence and suppression, Sherry is about to meet her father for the first time. Her mother has arranged for them to spend the summer with him and his traditional, honor-driven family—a family that values reputation above all else. As Sherry steps into this world, the pressure to uphold an image of perfection looms large. With her father’s family unaware of her true identity and the weight of shame threatening to destroy her, Sherry must confront the haunting question of who she really is and whether she will ever be able to escape the confines of a life built on lies. Themes: Identity, gender, self-discovery, family, repression, societal expectations, and the search for truth.

Not Another Pampered Pet

Dismissed from three prestigious universities for having low mental energy, the Coming of Age Dream Ceremony is Azalea Lily Blume’s last hope. By some stroke of luck, Azalea manages to get accepted into the infamous Mercy Academy. Estranged from family and friends she’s ready to leave and cut all ties with her small hometown in Meadowbrook without a second look. When Azalea thinks her life can't get any worse she meets the Mercifuls. Notorious for being the highest level mental energy users in their academy. Every time she crosses paths with these arrogant guys Azalea gains a minor boost in mental energy and her normally barren mental garden starts to blossom. As a result she uses every opportunity to come in contact with any one of the Mercifuls. That’s how they trick her into becoming their pet! She’ll be indebted to the Mercifuls until they grow bored or worse Azalea dies from their outrageous antics. When her three older brothers find out that their illegitimate younger sibling has become a pet they are outraged. They despise and look down on her even more for making their family name a laughing stock! After being bullied with several near death experiences Azalea reaches her limit and is done with letting others dictate her life. Azalea: I can’t believe I got rejected for not being able to use mental energy to do something basic like summon a mental beast. [Queue ridiculous evil laughter] Azalea: Now that I have unlimited mental powers I will never allow anyone to look down on me! Then, the suitors and fakes who gossiped and mocked her in the past started begging Azalea to let them be a part of her current life. The jerk: “I’ve emptied my contact list. I’ll even delete all my social media for you, just say the word.” The sweet talker: “Love in any language. I would cross the ocean for you. I can be your hero, babe.” The bully: “It turns me on when you cry. S&M, how about it?” The gym rat: “I’d catch a grenade for you. I’d even jump out of a plane naked with no parachute for your love.” The culinary prodigy: “All the desserts in the world could never compare to the taste of your honey that would melt on my tongue.” The royal: “If I can’t buy it. Then it doesn’t exist.” For once, her three brothers are finally in agreement and declare: “Suitors beware…Azalea is one of us now. Any poor soul who wants a serious relationship with her will have to go through us for approval!!” PS: 1. 1×1, happy ending. 2. Weird humor, no logic in a fantasy world, not to be taken seriously, lots of creative expression and freedom.
