Lavender Nights

In later times, whenever people spoke of that galaxy, they would always mention its guardian—and the identity of the guardian’s descendant, the so-called “Devourer.” But all of it began in the distant past, in an era of chaos when the inhabitants of the planet were still at war with one another, a time when an ancient catastrophe seemed to be returning—when a young girl forged a pact with the one who would one day become the guardian.

On a starless night, a middle aged man draws his last breath, but is it truly the end? Vael Icaris, the man in question, rose to power in terms of physical might as well as political influence, during his youth. That obviously upset some people, which led to his untimely demise. Luckily for him, he thought in advance and came up with countermeasures to fight for what he deserves! Will Vael be able to change his fate? I'm a new author, so I'll be learning as I go. Expect 1 chapter per day, two on a good day.

Eighteen-year-old Minjun has never fit into the mold his parents dreamed for him. While his friends chase university acceptances and stable futures, Minjun stands alone on a rain-soaked Seoul rooftop, whispering his hopes to the night sky and scribbling lyrics into a battered notebook. He’s not just another boy who wants to be a K-pop idol — he wants to write his own songs, sing his own truth, and stand under the stage lights as his own kind of star. When a small but influential entertainment company unexpectedly invites him for an audition, Minjun thinks this might finally be his chance. But inside the dazzling world of K-pop, dreams cost more than just time and talent — they demand sacrifice, secrecy, and the strength to stand up every time the industry knocks him down. As Minjun fights for a spot on the trainee roster, he navigates brutal competition, midnight rehearsals, and hidden rivalries that could break his spirit or make him stronger than ever. Along the way, he forges fragile friendships, clashes with idols who see him as a threat, and discovers how far he’s willing to go to keep his songs his own — in an industry where even dreams can be manufactured. Idol of the Night is a raw, heartfelt journey through the shadows behind the spotlight — a story about finding your voice when everyone wants to rewrite your song, and the courage it takes to stand alone under the brightest lights.

"They… are coming," the stranger said, his fear palpable. But it wasn’t the fear of dying—it was the fear of me dying. "GET... out of here! They will kill you! Everything you know will be defiled if you encounter them. My kind is... merciless to humans." What was he saying? I was confused. "I don’t understand what you mean, sir. What are you saying?" I asked, my curiosity growing, as if my life depended on it. "I don’t have much time," he murmured weakly. "You have a brave heart... What you knew before will be different now. I hope this works..." The stranger smiled at me, though it was faint and filled with pain. "Your destiny now is to find her and protect her. Come closer... I want to change your fate, the one you’ve always desired. Come closer," he said, his words barely coherent as the sound of footsteps grew louder and closer. His skin began to fade—this wasn’t something that happens to a normal human. Who was this man? He looked at me one last time, then dragged my head closer to his mouth, revealing his teeth. Wait... is that... is that......?! **** In the era of power struggle between gods and demons. When the vampires were seen to be the next strongest species after them. 7 daughters of the vampire god, 7 protectors of these girls who possess different keys to power and evolution. Thing takes a sharp turn when a human is being dragged into the whole realm of war and madness, human at first but in the nearest future, becomes someone who shouldn't be tapered with. Imagine a novice who would become the master of all game and trade...

We found them dead on the 3rd of May. To be honest, I'm still surprised they held out for more than a week. They were just students after all. In that sense, their action were remarkable, if only for their folly. Although, seeing what they released into this world, I probably shouldn't praise them too much. Well, whatever. Cleaning up this mess is now up to us. Just as it's always been.

"You will be a flower that blooms only at night," Madame Sumire once told her. "And if you bloom just right, someone might pluck you from the darkness." Born the only daughter of a low-ranking samurai, Aika Takamura knew loss too young-first her father, then her childhood, and finally her freedom. Sold into the famed Hanabira Teahouse to repay her mother's debts, she was taught to survive in the only way women like her could: through painted smiles and hollow affections. Years pass, and Aika becomes a prized courtesan-adored, desired, and utterly unseen. Until one night, a quiet man named Renjiro Hayama enters the teahouse not with hunger, but with humanity. He doesn't ask for her touch. He listens. And with each visit, Aika's heart dares to hope that perhaps... she was meant for something beyond the red lanterns. But freedom has a cost-and love, a risk. In a world where women like her are not supposed to dream, Aika must choose between the life she knows and the uncertain future that waits beyond the paper doors.

In the forgotten cracks of a world that remembers only heroes and legends, two souls meet where the light doesn’t reach. Xiao, the famed courtesan of a hidden pleasure house, was raised to smile, serve, and never be seen for more than his beauty. Sujin, a quiet cultivator from a lesser-known Lan clan, walks into the wrong room—and ends up unlocking a past neither of them knew they were chained to. He was sold. He was silent. They both dreamed of being someone else. But in the shadows of grand sects and fading myths, a bond begins to form—not of glory, but of quiet rebellion. And in that rebellion, something stolen becomes something sacred. Author’s Note : This story was born from silence—of the forgotten, the unheard, and the shadows behind legends. Though set in a world that resembles ancient cultivation realms, "Borrowed Nights" is not a fanfiction, nor is it an imitation. It is my own voice, told through characters who never had one— A broken courtesan. A quiet cultivator. Two fading echoes in a world that only remembers the loudest heroes. I’ve always admired stories like The Untamed and MDZS, but this tale is my own creation, shaped with a different ache, a different depth. Thank you for walking into the wrong room with them. Maybe... something right is waiting inside.

At 30,000 feet, shadows whisper, “We’ll take you.” Aboard JAL Flight 907, a red-eye to Naha, Sora, a strikingly lifelike humanoid flight attendant, senses something amiss in the quiet cabin. Strange knocks echo from beyond the walls, pale faces peer through the windows, and children’s laughter drifts from empty spaces. As fear grips the passengers, Sora confronts an unseen presence haunting the plane. Trapped in a sealed cabin at 30,000 feet, her system falters under the assault of an unknown entity.

The least special magic there is is not to have magic and nullify other magic. That is so ordinary! Dyara had to live with this and her being 10th in the family. What else is there to be ordinary about? Hating carrots? Dozing off while being painted? Oh! She cannot be a princess of Elxi empire, and any other for that matter, if this continues! In another side of the world, Kean trains to be the best assassin of Westalya, a land known for its treachery and black sorcery. There is not a path an assassin cannot create and pass through. But when a forthcoming chaos threatens the world, only the chosen assassin and someone that can never be touched by any kind of magic can save them all... at a price.

Jill Andrew, a young woman in her early twenties, sleeps soundly in her bedroom. For months, she has been haunted by disturbing dreams that blur the boundary between fiction and reality. When she awakens, traces of those dreams remain, leaving her bewildered and terrified. Jill Andrew grew up as a lonely child. Her parents were rarely present, as they frequently travelled. In their absence, she was looked after by the housekeeper, Anna Cole, whom she learnt to see as a mother figure. Anna was the only constant in her life, as her parents were often absent. Her mother, Sharon Andrew, greets her with a warm smile this morning. On a rare day off to honour their long-lost mother-daughter bond, Jill appreciates the comfort and enjoys the normalcy of the situation. But beneath her cheery face lies a deep worry, a secret she can't even confess to herself: she hasn't had her period in months. The next day, Jill confides in her best friend, Alice Thompson, who encourages her to consult a doctor. The truth that follows is more horrifying than either of them could have imagined: Jill is three months pregnant despite having never had a sexual encounter. Medical tests confirm the unbelievable, throwing Jill into a tailspin of disbelief. Even Alice, her ever-rational buddy, finds it difficult to comprehend. As Jill's bewilderment worsens, her dreams become more unsettling. One night, she awakens in her bedroom to discover Larry, a mysterious and frightening being, sitting calmly at the foot of her bed. He claims to be the father of her unborn child, a being stranded between worlds who uses her body as a portal to return to Earth. His terrifying words reverberate in her mind: "I live in you now." Jill is left on the verge of a nightmare, unable to awaken from the horrors unfolding in her life. As she struggles with the reality, she must face the terrifying prospect that her pregnancy is the consequence of something far more sinister and beyond her control. In a world where reality shifts, Jill is compelled to reexamine everything she thought she knew, including herself. Can she evade this unseen influence or become a vessel for something unspoken? As the line between dream and reality blurs, the answers lie in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.

Every two years, the government sends teenagers to die. Randomly selected between the ages of 16 and 18, they are forced into the Abyss Trials — a brutal survival mission inside a dimensional fracture swarming with nightmarish creatures.

Defying all odds, Kael survives the trial and awakens the abilities of an ancient being known as Nyx, the primordial goddess of night. Now bound to a power older than the stars, Kael becomes one of the Awakened—elite soldiers humanity depends on to push back the horrors of the Abyss and the countless Rifts spreading across the world. But power always comes with a price, one that might be too steep for Kael.

A collection of letters I write while listening to classical music. Letters to the past, to my mistakes, to what might have been.

Taong 2025, sa isang lungsod sa Pilipinas, isang dalagang librarian at working student na si Zerene Villapaña, na may misteryosong amnesya, ay nahatak sa isang mapanganib na mundo ng teknolohiya matapos masangkot sa isang hacking incident sa library. Doon niya nakilala si Copper Cavallo, isang malamig ngunit matapang na CEO-engineer na may koneksyon sa kanyang nakaraan. Hindi nagtagal, nadiskubre ni Zerene na siya’y dating co-creator ng isang makapangyarihang AI system na tinawag na Project Root—isang teknolohiyang may kakayahang manipulahin ang damdamin at paniniwala ng sambayanan gamit ang datos. Dahil sa pagtatangkang ilantad ito noon, binura ang kanyang alaala at itinuring siyang patay. Habang unti-unting bumabalik ang kanyang alaala sa tulong ng mga pahiwatig, panaginip, at likas na abilidad, unti-unti ring lumalalim ang ugnayan nila ni Copper—mula sa tensyon, pagtutulungan, hanggang sa damdaming hindi na maitatanggi. Sa tulong ng grupong Freelinks, nakipaglaban sila sa dating organisasyong si Copper mismo’y naging bahagi noon: ang lihim at mapanganib na tech syndicate na CAM. Sa bawat misyon, pinagsama nila ang lakas ng damdamin at talino para kolektahin ang mga kopya ng Project Root at pigilan ang paggamit nito bilang armas ng gobyerno at militar. Nang mahuli si Zerene at tangkang muling burahin ang kanyang pagkatao, iniligtas siya ni Copper sa isang delikadong operasyon, isinugal ang lahat kahit ang sariling negosyo. Sa huling hakbang, inilantad nila ang Project Root sa buong mundo sa pamamagitan ng global livestream, habang ginamit ang satellite para i-broadcast ang ebidensya. Sa kabila ng isang trahedyang false-flag bombing na pinasimulan ng CAM, nagtagumpay ang grupo—bumagsak ang CAM, ngunit may mga natirang banta. Sa huli, si Copper ay namuno ng isang bagong tech ethics organization, habang si Zerene ay naging global AI ethics consultant. Muling nagtagpo ang kanilang mga puso—hindi na bilang mga taong may kasalanan o lihim, kundi bilang dalawa na muling piniling magmahal sa kabila ng lahat.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady.
