Breezing

Amid the scent of fresh ink, two figures stood at the crossroads of Serena Egbert’s life—one, a fleeting breeze, the other, an inescapable storm. Cedric Lawrence—the quiet presence who appeared beside her when she least expected. When the rain poured, he was there, silently offering an umbrella. When autumn’s chill crept in, he brought the warmth of a cup of tea. No promises, no grand declarations—just a memory that lingered. Alexander Cyrus—the tempest that disrupted her world. He was fire in the midst of winter, a force that drew her in despite the danger. He did not wait for the rain to fall—he was the storm itself, reckless, consuming, and impossible to ignore. Was love meant to be gentle, like a whisper carried by the wind? Or was it destined to be fierce, like a wildfire that refused to be tamed? In the brevity of youth, Serena must choose: hold onto the fleeting serenity, or embrace the chaos that threatened to consume her whole.

One afternoon, while browsing LinkedIn, I spotted a post raving about MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER’s crypt0 recovery skills. I skimmed it, shrugged, and moved on, never dreaming I’d need them.

A young man, around fifteen years old, was walking under the late afternoon sun, at that moment when the light turned golden and soft. The air was cool, still carrying traces of the day's heat, gently warming his skin. With each step, he seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze drifting into the long shadows of the trees and the gentle breeze whispering through the leaves. Night was slowly approaching, but the sky still held warm hues, like the last breath of summer before the evening arrived. Once at the entrance of his alley, he saw a car speeding toward him. He didn’t have time to react before he was thrown into the air. In those final moments of suffering and his last breath, he died—but...

Mu Yang is undoubtedly the most dazzling figure on the university's racing track. Amid the roar of the engine, he is like a black bolt of lightning, maneuvering the racing car at breakneck speed on the track. Every precise and sharp turn elicits deafening screams from the spectators' stands. That driving force of pressing forward bravely on the track and freely sweating, along with his uninhibited and carefree posture, constitutes his unique charm, attracting the attention of countless people.

In this love journey full of twists and turns, misunderstandings and quarrels are inevitable. But after every storm, a more splendid rainbow awaits.

From the youthful love on campus, to the sacred vows exchanged in the wedding hall, and then to the happy moment of welcoming the crystallization of their love, their entire lives are filled with sweetness and happiness, writing a heartwarming and enviable story of a perfect ending.

Qiao Zhaoyue harbored a secret love for him for decades, her true feelings hidden beneath a six-month marriage contract, by day his dutiful secretary, by night his lover. She thought Fu Yuxiu would never fall for anyone, until she saw him showing concern for another woman with all the warmth of a spring breeze, and only then did she have an epiphany. It wasn't that he was incapable of affection; rather, he would never harbor such feelings for her. Qiao Zhaoyue prepared herself for the dissolution of the marriage contract after half a year. But she never anticipated that someone would cling to her. "Chairman Fu, we agreed on no pestering or hounding." Fu Yuxiu laughed shamelessly, "Chasing one's wife, there's nothing wrong with a little pestering or hounding."

He had crossed into the dark, ruthless Wizard World. Lucien found his system somewhat different from the usual golden finger. System upgrade points? Chip activation? None of these, but rather becoming a role model, transforming into a nurturing breeze: Teaching students knowledge, receiving advanced knowledge in return. Caring for and maintaining students, earning generous rewards. [Your student has mastered the Magic Potion "Kuru's Cough," congratulations on acquiring the improved formula "Kuru's Cough - Enhanced"!] [Your student has mastered witchcraft "Fireball," congratulations on learning witchcraft "Greater Fireball"!] [Your student has successfully crafted the wizard's tool "Pale Mask," congratulations on acquiring the wizard tool’s manual "Revised Pale Mask"!] Initially, Lucien was resistant. But after experiencing what it was like to teach disciples and outdo them, Lucien felt he had completely transformed into the form of the master system. This thing, isn't it much more useful than something called Cheating Device?

He walked into the café, his eyes as dark as the night, as cold as the evening breeze. It sent shivers down everyone's spine, crawling on their skin like a slug. The trench coat he wore only heightened the fear he brought. “Emily”, Anastasia whispered to her friend, tugging at her blue floral dress. “I don’t feel good about this”, she added. But Emily only gazed, her lips curved as she tracked his movement, following him until he sat at the far end of the table. “Don’t you think he looks like those royal princes in the books we read?” Anastasia couldn't believe that a man who made her feel this cold could be pictured as a romance figure to Emily. She followed her gaze, however, to him. His brown hair was sleeked back, his jaw chiseled but hard. As if sensing her gaze, he turned immediately, and their eyes locked. Time suddenly stood still. “No!”, Anastasia exclaimed breathlessly. “It can't be, no, not him. God!!!! Not him!!!”

This is my first poetry to my BFF, written on March 7th, 2023. Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain By: Amoureax Amant Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain, at branch in full peach blossom on mountain, but left tree branch with wind through amber lake, toward fragrant sea like drifting snowflake. Just left when butterfly danced through peach tree, just left when hummingbird echoed with bee, when rising sun turned dark cloud peach blossom, when drifting rain fell from misty cloud dome. What if peach blossom stayed till September, peach blossom might neither dance through water, nor travel with light breeze through small arbor, toward vast sea like boat sailed from harbor. What if peach asked of peach blossom's journey, here's the answer, freer than in valley.

I watched him as he stood there, leaning on the bridge's railing and eating ice cream. The breeze wasn't disturbing his hair today because he had parked it all backwards, he looked cute, I smiled drawing in some breath, satisfied with how today was going. "What?" I heard him ask taking me off my thoughts. "Huh?" "You were smiling." "Oh. I was...." "Can I kiss you?" He asked looking at my lips. "Here?" I asked now, my heart beating hard against my chest, our first kiss could happen now. "Yeah?" He nodded, I could see his Adam's apple go up and down as he swallowed, I bit my lips, nervously. I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips. He was smiling, I hadn't yet told him how much I loved his smile. "You lied." I told him. "About what?" He stopped smiling. "You said you were a bad kisser." He laughed now with his teeth showing, those beautiful set. Read more... #genka3na

A breeze rustled past, stirring the sunlight sparkling through the autumn foliage above us, and a sprinkle of gold fell over his shoulders. "Say you want me," he whispered. "Bai Ye—" I breathed, but the rest of my words were replaced by moans the moment he traced his kisses along my neck and took my earlobe into his mouth. Familiar tingles roared through me as he nibbled and suckled gently. His hand slid up my chest, and he played with my sensations with his lips and tongue and fingers until my arms trembled around him. All other thoughts vanished from my mind. The only thing I knew was the irresistible feeling of him on me, so overwhelming that my knees started growing weak. I would've fallen if he wasn't pinning me hard against the tree. "Bai Ye …" I moaned again, clawing at his clothes. "Of course I want you … Right here, right now." He let out a soft puff of laughter, and his hand grazed down, gripping the folds of my dress. With a rip of fabric, he tore them away.

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah!

Old Liu, standing beside him, slowly explained, "Within the Tower of Babel, there are three mountains: the Mountain of Cool Breeze, the Mountain of Hanging Gardens, and the Mountain of Fan Tong. If one ascends the Mountain of Cool Breeze, they can achieve immortality." "If one climbs from the Mountain of Cool Breeze to the Mountain of Hanging Gardens, they gain the power to command wind and rain."

Amidst the beauty of the sunrise in Sanur, the dance of the waves in Uluwatu, and the lingering scent of incense at Pura Besakih, Bali holds more than just natural allure—it holds untold stories. Beneath the shadows of ancient temples and the mighty roar of the Indian Ocean, Ni Made Ayu Sarasvati Dewi, a graceful Balinese dancer, is bound by a sacred vow passed down through generations—she must marry the man chosen by her ancestors, a Balinese man selected according to tradition. On this island of the gods, a forbidden love grows between the traces of sand and the whispers of the tropical breeze. In the shimmering city lights of Seminyak, beneath the lush frangipani trees in Ubud, or by the serene shores of Jimbaran, a long-silent heart begins to beat once more. However, Ayu's heart does not belong to the man destined for her. Instead, she is drawn to Daniel Laurante Whitmore, a young heir to a European real estate empire who has come to Bali not only to indulge in its exotic beauty but also to acquire the sacred land where Ayu and her ancestors have lived for centuries. Moreover, he is a photographer, captivated by the island’s rich cultural heritage, capturing its essence through his lens. Their brief encounter ignites an unexpected passion—one that carries both desire and an inescapable curse. When love and tradition collide, Ayu faces an impossible choice: to honor the vow engraved in her heritage or to risk everything for a love deemed forbidden. What begins as a tense confrontation slowly transforms into an undeniable passion. Daniel is drawn not only to the island’s breathtaking beauty but also to Ayu—the woman who fights to protect her legacy from the grasp of his own family’s business. But will the secrets carried by Bali’s whispering winds find their own way? Or will this love remain nothing more than a fleeting echo, lost amid the endless roar of the waves?

"Some ancient call that I’ve heard only in a dream, breathed in whispers and crooned a confusing tongue. It was a melody sung while I slept amidst the trees, the cool feel of the breeze on my backside, and the misty scent of the sea in my nostrils. That dream... it felt like I was there with the voice beneath the water. For the first time in my life, I felt…at peace. " Baylea has survived for over two decades living in the trees far above the water's reach with other women in hiding. The days pass quickly, but the excruciatingly long nights become even harder when the tides are at their highest and the air grows cold and thin. As the nights grow longer with the cold becoming an infectious presence, Baylea sets out on foot to hunt for food and gather what she can before the tides rise again. Crossing into unknown terrain and encountering more than what she has ever known, Baylea faces the unavoidable consequences of entering another's domain, which doesn't seem to worry her at first. An intense feeling that she has never felt before starts to blur the lines between right and wrong as Baylea voluntarily returns to the same spot to hunt whenever the tides recede. But when she is seen speaking with the Waterling, Baylea is forced to stay amongst the treetops for her safety and the safety of her kin.

No one knows exactly when, but "Ma Lon - The Ghost Can Ritual" has long become a familiar game passed down through generations of children in the neighborhood, whispered from one group of kids to the next. On summer nights when the power goes out, children sneak out of their homes, gathering in the dimly lit streets to catch the cool breeze. They share spine-chilling stories they’ve heard from older kids—tales that grow more twisted with each retelling. And among all the ghost stories, the one they love the most—the one they never get tired of hearing—is the legend of the "Ma Lon" game. Who would believe it? On the first moonless night of the month, when the clock strikes midnight and the darkness spreads thick like ink, all it takes is an empty can, three sticks of incense, and a few coconut candies to summon a restless spirit. A soul that once lived in this very neighborhood—trapped, unable to move on—will enter the can… And then, the game of tag begins.

If there was an award for the unluckiest guy alive, Leonis Asher would win it. Hands down. One minute, he's the Dungeon Master feared across realms—powerful, undefeated, and surrounded by enemies. The next, he's dead. Betrayed by those he trusted most. Just when he thinks it’s the end, he wakes up in a body that isn’t his. Scratch that. A life that isn’t his. Because Leonis Asher is now Leo Ashbourne—a sickly fool at Arcane Academy who can’t cast a spell without blowing something up. Mocked, underestimated, and constantly reminded that he’s the weakest student in his year, Leo’s life is one humiliating disaster after another. And now it’s Leonis’s problem. Great. Just great. As if things weren’t already bad enough, his new roommate is Damien Nightshade—the Demon Prince in disguise, sent to find the prophesied mage with a dungeon system powerful enough to decide the fate of the war between demons and mortals. Unaware that his clueless, overconfident, and annoyingly nosy roommate is the very target he seeks. Now, Leonis has to survive in a body so weak it can’t handle a light breeze, let alone the simplest of spells, plot revenge on those who killed him in his previous life, put his bullies in their place, and figure out why his new life comes with a 'mischievous' Dungeon System that seems determined to make everything ten times harder. All that in addition to keeping his true identity hidden from the Demon Prince who wants him dead. Yep. His new life was this troublesome. Worse still there's a brewing war between demons and mortals and his powers just so happen to be at the center of it all. Surviving magic academy is already hard enough. Surviving as the key to a war that could tear the world apart? That’s a death sentence.
