Stellar Fragments

Stellar Fragments: When Steam Meets the Void, Who Will Light the Last Star? The morning mist over Port Belen reeks of rust. Zhou Mingrui never expected a crumpled oilcloth bundle, scavenged from a dockside jump, to tear open a rift to the Astral Plane. But when he unwraps it—a leather-bound book with a seven-pointed star embossed on its cover, its pages swirling with constellations—he feels a primal pull, like the stars themselves are whispering his name. This is 1873, and Port Belen is a city teetering between progress and chaos. Steam engines roar, but the clocks tick backward. Corpses in morgues scribble "Eclipse Prayers." Dockworkers go mad, screaming of a "whale with a thousand eyes." All roads lead to Stellar Fragments, a forbidden text rumored to hold the key to stopping the Astral Leviathan—a colossal entity slumbering in the void, its awakening marked by the "Void Solstice": when seven stars align over Port Belen, and reality itself begins to unravel. "You have the Starwatcher’s mark," says Claire, the scarred astrologer of the Night Owl Society, sliding the book across a creaky oak table. Her brass bracelets clink with constellations. "The last Starwatcher vanished a decade ago, leaving only this warning: When the seven stars kiss the Void, the Leviathan wakes. Only the Starwatcher can anchor reality—by becoming part of the stars themselves." But Zhou is no hero. Just a grad student of 19th-century occultism, now trapped in a game of cosmic stakes: A steam-powered astrolabe explodes in his hands, its needle pointing to "Void." A noble heiress’s "spirit pigeons" grow feverish, pecking at the sky where the Leviathan’s "void eyes" glow. The city’s Eclipse Value—measuring the breach between worlds—creeps up: 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.05%... In the flickering light of an old church basement, the Night Owl Society gathers. Seven "Astral Artifacts" lie scattered: a moonstone gear humming with pale light, a cracked whistle that silences mad machinery, a pocket watch frozen mid-tick… Five more remain. Without them, the Leviathan’s shadow will consume Port Belen. But Stellar Fragments holds a final, blood-chilling clue: "To bind the stars, the Starwatcher must bleed." That night, the Leviathan rises. Its gargantuan form breaches the mist, scales glinting with countless eyes, each one staring at Zhou Mingrui—and the book clutched in his hands. He grips Stellar Fragments, recalling his professor’s words: "Occultism isn’t about controlling the cosmos. It’s about finding light in the dark." Now, with nothing but flesh and starlight as his weapons, Zhou must decide: Will he become a star to stop the void… or be swallowed by it?

The Cursed Triplet Alphas’ Fated Mate

Being a wolfless hybrid was bad? Yes, but not as bad as being rejected by your groom three days before your wedding, in favor of your younger sister! ~~~ Sue was an outcast from birth, and she grew up stomaching ridicules and insults despite being a princess in starlight pack. Instead of wallowing in self pity, Sue strives for strength and soon becomes a strong fighter. Having been rejected multiple times for being the pack’s freak, Sue was over the moon when she unexpectedly gets accepted by her present mate whom she’s presently engaged to. However, when she’s rejected again, and is replaced by her sister this time, she believes all hope is lost for her, not knowing fate has something else in store for her. In a mission that’s supposed to kill her, she ends up coming across her mate in the monstrous enemy she was sent to capture, and by the end of it all, she discovers said mate has two brothers who’re also her mates, and not only were they willing to accept her, they forcefully took her along with them against her will, making Sue dislike and want nothing to do with them. Too bad they were stupidly hot and utterly breathtaking. Cursed because of the sins of their ancestors— Angelo, Landon and Damon lived as part monsters and part wolves, a deadly curse which would end up taking their lives if they didn't find their fated mate, the key to breaking the curse. Which was why as soon as they found her, there was no way they’d be letting her go, no matter what. Even though she was the daughter of their greatest enemy, even though she was wolfless, and even though she definitely wasn’t the fire breathing, powerful mate that was prophesied for them decades ago. ~~~ | ~~~ “I bet your nipples are hard right now. And are you wet between your legs as well? I should be able to smell it if I focus hard.” he husked out in a sultry voice, the dark eyes of his drinking me up and I wished the ground would open up to swallow me up at once. “N- no…” I managed to hurl out but he only laughed, then he leaned even closer and my heart lurched into my throat after his next words. “Why? You hate hearing the truth?” He demanded then I felt his large hand settle on my thigh. “I can check right now for you, to see if you’re dripping and making a mess of your little panties.” My cheeks felt so red, it felt like they might go up in flames at any moment from now. “A- are you crazy?” I managed after what felt like ages, while gaping at him as an immense amount of shock went through my entire body. He flashed me a dark grin, his fangs gleaming in the moonlight. “Couldn’t you tell?” He drawled and I let out a huff of disbelief. This man wasn’t just crazy. He was mad. Him and his two brothers.

The Fallen Author’s Heart in the Land of Love

For those of you reading this, I'm a novelist, a writer, call me what you will. I love creating stories, but I've always wondered what would happen if I ever found myself stuck in a world of my own making. To be honest, I usually dislike the romance genre, but right now, I'm writing one of them—or am I? This is a twisted tale of a person who is about to experience unimaginable suffering for the rest of their life. Let's see what it brings to our hearts; it should be interesting. If you have the courage to stick with it until the end, please do. Akira Tsukihara is a struggling romance novelist trapped in a cycle of churning out saccharine, uninspired stories. Her life in a sweltering Japanese apartment is already a constant battle with mediocrity, a struggle compounded by her eerie building security guard and demanding editor. Akira secretly loathes the fluffy, unrealistic tales she churns out, feeling her soul dwindle with every clichéd happy ending she pens. But then, a shockwave hits her stagnant routine. Her latest novel, "The Fallen Kingdom of Seraphis"—a story she finally thought was getting somewhere—suddenly faces a copyright infringement lawsuit. The accusation? It's an blatant copy of an older, popular novel. Her editor, a bumbling, self-absorbed bear of a man, abandons her, leaving Akira to fight an seemingly insurmountable legal team alone. A mixture of anger, disbelief, and a desperate need to prove her innocence compels Akira to reluctantly begin reading the allegedly plagiarized work, "Hearts Bound in Starlight and Ruin." As she delves deeper into its pages, far more sinister events begin to unfold. Strange phenomena plague her apartment, from drastic temperature drops in the middle of summer and inexplicable buffering screens to an unsettling feeling of being watched. Then, a blinding light erupts from her laptop, consuming her whole. Akira awakens in a world reeking of mud, misery, and medieval despair. Her body is no longer her own but that of a gaunt, oddly white-haired young peasant girl. The horrifying reality dawns on her: she hasn't simply been transported to another world; she has been reincarnated into the very story she detested—a world that reflects the harsh realities she unintentionally created. Her forced fantasy has become a terrifying new reality. Can she survive the stark, unromantic world she unconsciously penned? Or is this the ultimate punishment for a writer who loathed her own creations?
