Marina The Mermaid

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

In a world where shifters rule and kingdoms crumble under the weight of power, Marina Velkás, a wolf-shifter is a warrior trapped in a battlefield of politics, corruption, and forbidden desire. Once an elite Imperial Knight, she is sent as Governor of Aeger, a lawless kingdom ruled by the infamous twin kings, Ruyi and Ruyel Vael'Tyrr. What was meant to be a simple assignment—to reform the decaying vassal state—becomes an unrelenting war against Aeger's corruption, nobility, and the very kings who should be her allies. Aeger is a kingdom of decadence and ruin, where the noble class thrives on vice while the lower districts suffer in filth. Marina, relentless and unyielding, refuses to bow to the system, launching sweeping reforms—clean water, public health, military training, and economic revitalization—all while standing against the bureaucratic sabotage and underhanded schemes designed to see her fail. But her greatest enemies are the twin kings themselves. Ruyi, the golden-haired, golden-eyed lion shifter, is a fallen war god, once El-Shihara's crown prince, now drowning in debauchery and excess. Cunning and ruthless, he toys with Marina, testing her limits with seduction, mockery, and raw, unchecked power. His very touch is poison—lethal to any woman who dares get close. Ruyel, his white-haired, blue-eyed twin, is a cold, unreadable phantom, a white tiger shifter—a warrior whose silence is more dangerous than any blade. He has never tolerated women, let alone entertained them. And yet, Marina's defiance draws his interest like no other. What begins as a battle of wills soon escalates into something far more dangerous. Marina becomes the one thing neither king can ignore. Their obsession turns to possession. When she thought that she had finally found love in this hopeless kingdom, political treachery finds her. And in a cruel moment of passion, the unthinkable happens—Marina, believed to be infertile, carries the heirs of two monarchs. The revelation shatters the fragile power balance of Aeger. The nobles plot in the shadows, seeking to remove her before she becomes a true queen. The Empire watches, waiting to see if the sons of El-Shihara will fall even further. And the twin kings—who once lived as untouchable gods—find themselves desperate, possessive, and warring over the one woman who defied them. But Marina is not theirs to break. Not to be conquered. Not to be owned. She is Governor of Aeger. And this time, it is she who will rule.

"They told me the stars could guide me home, but they never said the journey would leave me so utterly lost." Do you still remember your highschool deskmate? The boy with the brightest smile, that girl with the world's most beautiful silhouette? In three years of high school, the shadows of two people intertwine with the chalk, black and white both distinct, drifting around within the memories. The Su Yuanzhou in her memories was an underachiever in high school. He skips class to shoot pool, cheats on his exams and gets into fights. Yet, when she went back to the past she would always surprise herself for seeing a lot of his side, maybe if she did this before he probably wouldn't die. To be able to meet each other on this planet is some kind of fate, and to be able to illuminate our fleeting lives, how fortunate we are. ... Ren Yuxin was trailing behind Su Yuanzhou like a guilty puppy, her face plastered with an exaggerated pout. "Come here," Su Yuanzhou said, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at her. His tone was calm, but the slight twitch in his jaw betrayed his frustration. "Why?" Ren Yuxin asked, her voice overly cautious, taking a step back instead of forward. "Just come here." His patience was running thin. Ren Yuxin crossed her arms and tilted her head dramatically. "No! You’re going to hit me!" Su Yuanzhou froze, staring at her in disbelief. A few students nearby stifled their laughter, pretending not to watch the exchange. "I’m not going to hit you," he said, exasperated. "Do I look like that kind of person?" "Yes." Ren Yuxin nodded solemnly, her eyes wide with mock innocence. Su Yuanzhou sighed, rubbing his temples. How does she manage to drive me insane every single time? His patience—already minimal—was hanging by a thread. "Ren Yuxin," he said, his tone low and dangerous. "Come here. Now." "No way!" she retorted, taking another step back. "I know you’re mad because I—" She paused, looking guilty. "Because you what?" Su Yuanzhou prompted, narrowing his eyes. "... Because I accidentally sent that embarrassing video of you singing in the shower to our group chat," she admitted in a small voice, her eyes darting away. Su Yuanzhou’s face darkened instantly. He felt every shred of his dignity crumbling. "Accidentally?" he repeated, his voice rising. "It really was an accident!" Ren Yuxin protested, raising her hands defensively. "I didn’t mean to press send!" "Accident or not, you’re dead," Su Yuanzhou said, stepping toward her with purpose. "See! You are going to hit me!" she squealed, turning on her heels and running off. "Get back here!" he yelled, chasing after her.
