17-year-old Yueya has always felt that the sky was hiding something—until one day, it opens. After countless dreams filled with swirling lights and ancient symbols, Yueya wakes up in a mysterious empire built upon meteorites—Pusonglai, a majestic land far beyond Earth. Accompanied by her once-ordinary pet cat QQ, now transformed into a noble shapeshifting guardian, she is chosen to represent her home in the legendary Earth Grand Forum, where young nobles from across dimensions debate the fate of worlds. With no preparation, no warning, and no idea how she got here, Yueya must navigate royal politics, alien elegance, and strange destinies. Is this truly a dream? Or is it the beginning of something greater than her sky-bound imagination ever dared to reach?

Should he simply follow the script and play the role of a stepping stone for the protagonist? Or will he defy fate and carve out a new path of his own? Will he finally let go of his past life and move forward? Or will he repeat the same mistakes all over again? Join Edward on his journey through a world of magic, danger, and unexpected choices — where even a side villain might get a shot at something more. ************************* This is my very first time writing a novel, and English isn't my first language — so there may be some grammar errors along the way.

Not this time.” Even if his actions changed the story, he wouldn’t walk the same path. He would rewrite Cassian’s fate with his own hands. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* COVER PAGE IS NOT MINE, IF THE CREATOR OF IMAGE WANTS ME TO REMOVE IT.

In the demon-torn realm of Orynthal, humans are no longer the apex of power. The skies bleed red, and entire kingdoms fall under the crushing force of the demonic horde. Only a rare few—those gifted by the gods—can stand against the tide. They are called Heroes. And they are dying out. When the once-glorious kingdom of Velmora faces extinction, its desperate king makes a final sacrifice: he offers his only daughter, Princess Elira, in a political marriage to the feared war empire of Draekhavem—a kingdom as powerful as it is merciless, led by warrior kings and their cruel bloodlines. In exchange, Draekhavem promises protection. In truth, Elira is given to a prison cloaked in royalty. Her husband, Prince Kaelith Draeven, despises her—cold, violent, and already surrounded by his favored consorts. The court mocks her. The soldiers loathe her. And Elira begins to realize: demons may not be the worst monsters in this world. But everything changes the night she’s left for dead at the edge of enemy territory… and is found by the last being she ever expected to show mercy: the Demon King himself. Towering, cursed, ancient—and feared beyond reason—he should have killed her. Instead, he carries her to safety. And when he touches her, her body doesn’t burn. It awakens. A cursed bloodline. A divine gift buried at birth. The truth of who she is will not only shake the realm—but tear open the veil between salvation and ruin. Because Elira is not cursed. She is chosen. And what flows through her veins… could end them all.

TRIGGER WARNING: 18+ I heard a loud hiss, and then shortly afterward, cold, scaly hands roughly grabbed my own, and instantly, amazing tingles erupted throughout my body, making the nausea I felt subside. The elder went on to tie a red ribbon tightly around our hands and then took a few steps back. I stood still, praying to the goddess for something to go wrong so this ceremony could be canceled. But when the ribbon vanished from our held hands, I knew there was no way out. It was finally done. I was now wedded to the very monster I feared. As everyone celebrated, I sat there in fear, blaming myself. I blamed myself for being weak and for being an omega like my little sister. I hated the moon goddess for letting my mate be a half-serpent, half-man, but above all, I hated myself for being born. ………………. PREVIEW ………………… I gasped when his foot hit each side of my feet, making me spread my legs apart. I understood what was going to happen, but it terrified me more than I had ever been in my life. I tensed when I felt claws trailing along my spine, slowly sending a shiver throughout my body. When the hand stopped at my hips, I took deep breaths to steady my stance while the claws slightly pierced my skin.

In the heart of Cape Town’s gang-ravaged streets, where the law is often outgunned and the innocent forgotten, one man decides he’s had enough. Brian, a quiet, light-skinned coloured 26 year old from the Cape Flats, wakes up every day surrounded by poverty, crime, and the ghosts of friends lost too soon. But he’s not a soldier. He’s not a cop. He’s just a young man with a black hoodie, a red ski mask, and fists trained by street fights and pain. Armed with nothing but grit, street-smarts, and a code of justice, Brian begins his war against gang lords, drug dens, and corruption. But being a hero in South Africa isn’t about capes or powers, it’s about surviving each night and protecting those who’ve been forgotten. As his legend grows, so do the threats: rival gangs want him dead, the cops want him unmasked, and someone in the shadows is pulling strings far beyond the Cape Flats. In a city where being a hero means becoming a target, can Brian rise above the violence or will he become just another body on the pavement?
