When lilies burn

A simple workday at a coffee shop turned James Bellini’s life into something people would fear. All it took was one misunderstanding, and he became the crownless king of the underworld, the ruthless boss of the Bellini Family. But this new life demands an answer to a simple question. Keep pretending…or become the very monster people think he is?

A Strange Boy in a Strange World At the heart of this peculiar realm lies the Forest of Graham, a dense and mysterious expanse surrounded by kingdoms belonging to various races. Across the world, on the opposite side, stretches the Ocean Realm—a place where waters from all directions converge at a single point. This convergence forms the eerie and enigmatic Lost World, a place unlike any other. But what is the true story? It’s the tale of a boy. A story of hope. A story of death. It’s the account of a world turned inside out, a world so desperate it summoned a monster to save itself from another. But ask yourself this—was he truly called here, or did he come simply out of boredom? Truly, a unique tale indeed. =========== We're currently 22 chapters ahead!

Lynette Daelan, an unemployed accounting graduate with both a degree and a master's, has always struggled. Abandoned by her father, who built a new life with his mistress and their privileged daughter, Lynette grew up scraping by in worn-out clothes, while they thrived. After years without contact, she finally sees her father-only to be ignored. Then, tragedy strikes: her mother passes away, and when her father finally shows up, all he offers is a mere $100. It's nowhere near enough to cover her debts, and soon, she's evicted. Forced to seek shelter in her late grandmother's house, she remembers the peculiar basement door-the one rumored to lead to another dimension. Her mother dismissed it as delusions of an old woman, but Lynette is desperate. That night, she decides to open it. And what she finds changes everything. Suddenly, she is no longer the abandoned daughter or the struggling woman grasping for survival. In this new reality, she is an heiress—pampered, adored, and swept into a world of wealth and intrigue. But beneath the glamour, secrets lurk, relationships complicate, and the price of living in this dimension might be higher than she ever imagined.
