The Briar Rose Hotel

Alex, the loving bellboy, had nothing but the purest of intentions when he rushed into Room 304 after hearing a scream. What it led to was anything but. After unwittingly walking in on a succubus having sex with a guest at the hotel he works at, Alex is pulled into a completely new world of monsters, magic and chaos. Considered special because of his ability to see them and travel between worlds, he becomes the succubi's only chance of saving their race from being abandoned by the monster world. Jumping between both worlds when necessary, Alex vows to get the succubi as many clients as they need to restore their powers, while also getting very, very close with a couple of them on his own. In the process, he not only learns to view the monsters he had been working with as more than what their nature suggest, but also grows closer to the humans he had once distanced himself from. Living a double life which could be destroyed at any point with the smallest of mistakes, will Alex be able to maintain the barrier between both worlds and prevent one aspect of his life from leaking into the other? Or will the slowly brewing, ever more dangerous chain of events destroy all of it forever? New chapters every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Rose Delacroix never thought much about her last name—until the nightmares started. Shadows move where they shouldn’t, whispers call her name, and a strange, unshakable feeling lingers every time she wakes. It’s just a dream. That’s what she tells herself. But when a job interview at Solstice Industries leads her to an unsettling discovery, reality begins to blur. A simple magazine in the waiting room pulls her into something she can’t explain. Words shift on the page. The world dims for just a second. And for the first time, she feels it. Something is waiting for her to remember. As Rose steps deeper into a world that feels both unfamiliar and eerily known, she realizes that her past isn’t just forgotten—it was hidden. And some secrets don’t stay buried forever.

So yeah. Rose Cookies. This isn’t your usual power fantasy or deep character study. It’s just… something that came out of my brain—and maybe yours too. Keanu, the guy you’re reading about, isn’t really a person. He doesn’t have a personality, no tragic backstory, no moral compass. He’s just there. Walking, talking, smiling. And then suddenly—violence. Out of nowhere. Why? Because sometimes, life just pushes people. You keep swallowing the little stuff—awkward silences, fake laughs, getting ignored, getting talked over, being the nice one. Over and over. And then one day, something in you snaps… or at least, wants to. Not gonna lie, a lot of these scenes are born from real stories. Not the stabbings, obviously, but the feelings. Stuff I’ve gone through. Stuff people have told me. That quiet, helpless frustration when you just sit there thinking, “Why do I keep letting this happen?” And maybe, for a second, your brain throws out the worst possible solution just to see how it feels. Keanu is that. He’s not a person. He’s an impulse. He’s what happens when all that built-up patience finally tips. Some chapters will be hilarious. Some will be disturbing. Some will make zero sense. That’s intentional. Life doesn’t stick to genre rules, so neither does this. Thanks for reading. Or hate-reading. Or doomscrolling (I sincerely doubt that) your way into this mess. I’m writing it like a fever dream and trying to surprise myself, so if it gets weird, don’t say I didn’t warn you. – Sincerely, Showerhead

A special selection is held to choose the next dragon queen from among the finest daughters of the founding magical nobilities. Thirteen girls, one from each of the foundational families, are chosen to vie for the crown and become the next dragon queen—and the hand of the enigmatic Crown Prince Cassian, the best dragon rider in the seven kingdoms and rider of the ancient, powerful black dragon Taheer. Among them is Lira, the thirteenth girl, a quiet but captivating young woman who seems to have come from nowhere. Unbeknownst to the court, Lira is no noble; she has no powers. She is an impostor. She did not come from a founding family. Driven by revenge, she has infiltrated the selection to destroy the monarchy that unjustly executed her father, a former advisor accused of treason. Lira expects to despise the prince, to see him as a reflection of the corrupt crown. Instead, she immediately bonds with his dragon Taheer and finds Cassian to be kind, intelligent, and burdened by the weight of a kingdom's expectations. He, in turn, is drawn to her fiery spirit and quiet resolve, a stark contrast to the polished perfection of the other contenders. But a new Dragon Queen must be chosen and Lira might not stand a chance. Will Lira's thirst for vengeance destroy them all?

At that time, I had just lost my job, was so broke I could barely afford food, and the few crumpled bills left in my wallet seemed to be fighting each other. Just then, I spotted a job ad for a hotel doorman with the enticing words: “High pay, easy work, free meals, and lodging!” I felt a surge of excitement—being a doorman? Just standing by the door and greeting people? That’s easy! But on my first day, I realized this place was a total nightmare. Each guest was scarier than the last! Some wore all black with daggers on their belts, others walked in with sunglasses and hats pulled low, and one guy even carried a black bag, from which a few shell casings casually fell out. And wait, what’s up with the blood-soaked guy in a hockey mask…
