Something Sinister

Beasts of Anomaly

Azhaan’s life ended in the blink of an eye—or so he thought. Awakening in Aetheris, a world ruled by tamers who forge bonds with mighty beasts to shape their destinies, he learns he’s been given a second chance. But Azhaan quickly discovers he doesn’t belong. While others bond with majestic lions, blazing phoenixes, or legendary dragons, the beasts drawn to him are… different. Strange. Overlooked. Unwanted. Mocked and underestimated, Azhaan’s defiance propels him forward. Guided by a cryptic System, he begins uncovering the hidden potential of his bizarre companions—a silent Shadow Stalker, a cowardly phoenix chick, and a mischievous raccoon spirit, to name a few. Together, they face breathtaking dangers, from cursed forests to dungeons that shift with the tides of magic. But when Azhaan stumbles upon a corruption spreading through the beasts of Aetheris, he realizes his strange power is tied to something far greater—and far darker—than he could have imagined. Whispers of an ancient experiment, a power forgotten by time, and a sinister force lurking in the shadows all point back to him. Now, hunted by rival tamers, rogue factions, and something far worse, Azhaan must decide: is his power a gift to save this world—or a curse destined to destroy it? In Beasts of Anomaly, every bond tells a story, every choice carries a price, and every secret brings Azhaan closer to the truth. But some truths are better left buried.

Something about HER

"Jill!" Sheri whispered. Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge. Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is? Don't care... But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband. Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily. Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face. She continues to push Sheri’s buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor. They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came. The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused. Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her. Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me. But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight. *** After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence. The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around. "What was that?!" Jill yelled. "I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added. Jill wanted to smack Sheri. "No! You!" Sheri was confused. "You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated. "Oh...". Sheri said in recollection. "Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares. Sheri was silent but signaled she understood Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!" "I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead. "Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly. "You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted. "So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!" "Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head. Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought. *** Hey everyone, thank you for your interest in my book, this is my first time writing a story. Hope you enjoyed this excerpt. This is my original work and the setting is urban American. My characters are of African American, Caribbean, and Hispanic descent, so this book may have a different flavor from the more traditional stories on here, so feel free to comment if there are any slang terms or phrases you don't understand.

The Cult Chronicles : Revelations

Arthur and Eve arrive in Lukh, a town shrouded in eerie silence, where the streets are empty and the air feels staged. The only sign of life is a lone diner, where they encounter Khill, a sharp-witted teenager who hints at something sinister lurking beneath the town’s quiet façade. The locals are either at the Church of the Trinity or taken to a mysterious camp, and their absence feels orchestrated. Things take a darker turn when a man with diamond-cut teeth arrives at the diner. Arthur recognizes him instantly—an infamous cult leader who vanished ten years ago. The town’s history is riddled with disappearances, strange rituals, and a fanatical devotion to a hidden power. Arthur and Eve soon realize they are not just investigating a cult—they are trespassers in a town that has been waiting for them. As they dig deeper, they uncover a secret tied to the Museum of Benardos, where relics and old maps hint at a greater conspiracy. The town was rebuilt unnaturally fast, almost like it had been prepared for something. Arthur’s suspicions are confirmed when the church bells ring out in the dead of night—a hunting call for something ancient and inhuman. Khill, who seems to know more than he lets on, warns them of the Likho, a supernatural entity summoned by the cult to eliminate traitors. As they flee through the fog-drenched streets, they realize the entire town is in on it—the people are either devout followers or too afraid to resist. The deeper they go, the closer they come to uncovering the cult’s true purpose: an ancient sacrifice meant to bring forth something far worse than death. With time running out, Arthur, Eve, and Khill must make a choice—stop the ritual, or become its next victims.

The shadows of attraction

Élise made her way to her favorite section, the classic novels, when her eyes fell on a book she had never noticed before. A small black volume, almost too simple to attract attention, but its title, "Shadows on the Past," struck her like an electric shock. She grabbed it almost instinctively, her trembling fingers caressing the cover. There was something intriguing, something sinister about the title, something that seemed to resonate with the darkness buried deep within her own heart. She opened it without hesitation and lost herself in the first lines, diving into a world of words that, strangely, touched her more deeply than she could have imagined. The narrator of this book seemed to know exactly how she felt, that inner void, that weight of the soul. Every sentence seemed to be written for her. Every word brought her back to her own demons. The moment she closed the book, almost reflexively, she felt a presence behind her. A slight shiver ran down her spine, a discomfort she couldn't explain. She slowly turned around, her eyes locking onto a figure standing at the entrance of the bookstore. A man, tall, with a piercing gaze, dressed in a dark suit that contrasted with the intimate atmosphere of the place. He seemed unremarkable, but something in his gaze, an intensity she couldn't describe, made her feel... watched. He stepped toward her, a slight smile playing at the corner of his lips, as though he already knew everything about her. "This book... does it seem familiar to you?" Surprised that he even knew which book she was holding, Élise blinked and nodded slowly. "I... I don’t know. It just drew me in." The man made a vague gesture, as if he didn’t think much of the question. "Sometimes, books find us before we even seek them. They reveal truths about ourselves that we were unaware of."

NaelSupremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond

**Synopsis of *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond*** Nael Supremium is no hero. He is a monster, cold, calculating, and indifferent to the world around him. Born from chaos, raised in darkness, and molded by betrayal and violence, he walks a path where every step is meticulously planned, and every action is weighed against its consequence. He carries a soul so powerful that it threatens to consume him, forcing him to seal his consciousness in a desperate attempt to contain the beast within. Yet, despite the nightmare he houses, he does not let it wreak havoc on the innocent. He controls it, distances himself from relationships and conflict, seeking only to maintain balance, to remain distant and cold in a world that demands more. When a transcendental being offers every soul a chance to enter a new reality, Nael’s cold, indifferent life takes an unexpected turn. Thousands of reincarnated, transmigrated, and divine beings enter universes of cultivation and magic, each guided by their own powerful systems, all fighting for power and supremacy. Yet, Nael has no interest in their games. His only goal is to transcend his existence, to break the limits of his soul and reshape his reality. For Nael, there are no allegiances, no noble pursuits—only the calm, precise execution of every move he makes. His system, enigmatic and mysterious, rewards him when he breaks boundaries—whether physical, mental, or existential. It is not a tool for instant success, but a means of testing his limits, of pushing him toward something beyond what is even conceivable. Alongside his best friend, a cultivator with the Emotion System, Nael advances, his cold resolve unwavering. But there are things in this universe he despises: those who manipulate others through power and deceit, those who use systems like NTR and heroine conquest to feed their desires. When they dare to touch what Nael values—even if it’s only a sliver—he reacts without hesitation. Nael is not vengeful; he does not obsess over petty revenge. His anger is simple, primal. If you push him past a certain point, his wrath will consume everything in its path. In that moment, even the devil would seem like an angel by his side. His actions are swift and without mercy, his judgment as cold as the heart of the monster he carries within. In a universe where bodies, souls, and destinies span from the immortal to the primordial, where divine children, legendary treasures, and otherworldly forces battle for supremacy, Nael stands apart. He is not here for glory, not for fame, and certainly not for the adulation of the weak. His only ambition is to transcend reality itself, to break the walls of the Omniverse and rewrite the laws that govern existence. *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond!* is a story that will take you to the edge of darkness, where mystery, power, and redemption intertwine in a journey unlike any other. A man who is no hero, no savior, but a force of nature who moves through the world with cold calculation and ruthless precision. In a world governed by destiny and divine laws, Nael is the one who refuses to bend. His soul is his only master, and if you dare to push him too far, you will learn that even the devil’s wrath pales in comparison to what lies within him. What is stronger: the destiny that governs all, or the soul that refuses to be controlled? **Comment from the author, NaelSupremium:** *"This is not a tale of redemption or heroism. It’s the story of a man who is a monster by choice, who battles the demons within himself while keeping the world at arm's length. He doesn’t need a system to define him. His path is his own, and if you cross him, it’s your end. No mercy, no second chances—just cold, calculated vengeance."*
