The Cornered Mouse Dreams Of Cheese

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, nothing is random. If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. ------------------- Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.

The current Queen has two daughters, the youngest of which is said to be the next Master Whisperer while her oldest doesn't seem to hold any magic at all.

What is the Golden Thread and why does Fate keep playing with it like a cat? In a world where they don't believe in gods, they still have their own plans for them and laugh at their efforts.

Gods symbolized concepts.  Mortals prayed to Gods for the power they symbolized.  The more believers a God had, the longer they lived.  The blessed of the gods, the pope and the priests similarly received a boon in lifespan along with the powers they obtain. It was a win-win relationship. Except the Witch of Eternity, who symbolized Eternity, Immortality, Infinity.  The only everlasting existence of the universe. She had no need for believers. So when she raised the Tower of Transcendence which promised a completely new power system based on Sigils, the Gods were enraged. The Gods and the various churches couldn’t sit still as the mortals they ruled over now had no restriction to obtain extraordinary power and could threaten their endless lifespan. The Witch of Eternity fought countless Gods, fracturing the Nine Heavens before she was finally sealed. But the Tower of Transcendence had already taken root in the existence of the broken Nine Heavens; they couldn’t stop mortals from obtaining boundless powers now. Little did they know that the Witch of Eternity had adopted a child. What she left for the universe wasn’t only the Tower of Transcendence but also a gift for the child.  Watch as the child walks the path of Dreams to exact revenge upon the Gods and the churches alongside the allies he’ll form while climbing the Tower. The Tower Climbers vs The Churches Lorentz Volhard Von Hell vs The Gods With the Witch of Eternity sealed, The Tower of Transcendence only had limited time before the gods would destroy it. It was a race against time. Could the Wizard of Dreams climb fast enough to confront the Gods? Or would he be buried underneath the rubbles of the broken Tower?

Multiverse, a well-known concept all are familiar with. Everyone has that thought of seeing a different version of the world one lives in. How would the people look there? What ideas do they have and follow? What is the main difference? Such a foolish notion, the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side. We didn’t ask for this yet reality itself seemed to have different plans. Disclamier all cover art is not mine just artwork mostly closely related to my stories.
