Pretty When You Cry

Yatim piatu di usia muda, Layla Llewellyn merasa seperti gadis paling beruntung di dunia setelah dia tinggal bersama pamannya Bill, seorang tukang kebun yang tinggal di perkebunan Arvis yang indah di Berg Empire. Bagi Layla, Arvis tampak seperti surga; Ia suka menjelajahi hutan yang luas, selalu membawa buku catatannya untuk mencatat satwa liar yang ditemuinya. Dia sangat menyukai burung-burung, mengamati mereka dengan kagum saat mereka menetas dan tumbuh dari anak ayam berbulu halus menjadi burung yang cantik. Duke Herhardt, penguasa Arvis yang muda dan tampan, juga tertarik pada burung―dan Layla. Tapi bedanya, dia tertarik pada burung karena dia suka memburunya... dan dia tertarik pada Layla karena dia suka membuatnya menangis. Jika seekor burung cantik terjebak dalam sangkar emas, mana yang akan ia pilih: kehidupan mewah atau kebebasan? PERINGATAN: Cerita ini mengandung gambaran pelecehan, trauma anak-anak, penyalahgunaan zat, dan kekerasan seksual yang mungkin membuat sebagian pembaca kesal.

Discord: https://discord.gg/2pp2DermTh A remake of another novel I created. Kazuki Takumi Amagiri was always a kid with a troubling life, abusive parents, poverty, being bullied at school you know the usual sob story that probably goes in a documentary for the early life of a serial killer or something. Throughout his life he's always wondered if maybe the reason world hates him was because he had the audacity to exist. But through a series of events he met his best friend and was introduced to a series of games where he found his spark of resilience to carry on in life in a character named Markus one of the main antagonists of the book. And ten years later he's a university student, dormmates with his best friend and is just about to finish getting his degrees. He'd also just finished playing the third installment in a his favorite video game franchise All was going well in life, things were looking up until in one cruel twist it was over, no fanfare, no "going out with a bang", Kazuki's life just fizzled out like a candle in the wind. Curiously though, Kazuki's story was not over as he found himself in the body of "Markus" at the start of his story. How will this strangely ironic twist of fate change the world at large? And more importantly how will it change our main character?

Atlas was never a man of haste. His choices, deliberate and measured, often came too late. Pleione, radiant and kind, once held a place in his heart—though he never admitted it, not even to himself. By the time Atlas realized his feelings, Pleione had drifted into the arms of another. August, her solace and strength, had captured her heart while Atlas lingered in indecision. Now, fate had dealt Atlas another chance, but the cost of redemption might be his very life.

The words that make readers cry—what they did to the writer. They tore at the soul, clawed their way through the heart, and demanded to be bled onto the page. This story is born not of ink but of wounds, of the fractures between black and white, snow and fire, love and hatred. In these pages, contradiction reigns. A love so fierce it ignites wars within, a hatred so tender it whispers of longing. The voices are many, yet they share one heart—a battleground where passion and betrayal, beauty and cruelty, fight for dominance. Here, the fragile walls of a mind crumble as it struggles to reconcile with the angel who became the war, with the devil who promised salvation. It’s a story of falling, of building, of breaking, and of daring to love even when it destroys. Turn the page and enter the chaos, if you dare.
