Lina Poulsen

Marked by the Ruthless Princess

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

Moonglow: Rise of the Destined Luna

Selina gasped for air, her heart racing as her body involuntarily thrashed in her sleep. Her indigo eyes flicked open wide as she choked back a scream. She looked up into Liam's worried face as he wiped away the beads of sweat forming on her brow with a damp cloth. "Lina, this was the longest one yet. Your whimpering and thrashing woke me about 36 minutes ago, and you were already covered in sweat." Liam told her, his voice heavy with concern as he glanced at the clock. Liam ran his hand through his hair. "Please tell me you remember something this time." He asked, almost pleading. Selina shook her head while sitting to look out the window. Over the forest, the orange-pink hue of the sunrise was starting to appear. Selina breathed deeply as she tried to recall something, anything other than the emotions she experienced during her dreams, but as usual, she was unable to. Some dreams were comforting and made her feel warm. Those dreams involved a blonde-haired man with green eyes. The other dreams, much like the current dream, left her full of despair and fear or left her feeling just plain empty. Usually all she could recall of those dreams was fire or blood. Liam stood up, muscles tense as he raised his arms and ran both hands through his thick black hair again, grabbing a fistful which he let fall back as he spoke, "Maybe she was wrong. Or maybe the prophecies were wrong. Maybe we really are Moonglow and not Lunaria. I don't know." Liam sighed deeply, sitting on the edge of his bed and turned to face her again before continuing, "Lina, your dreams are getting worse, and time is running out. You haven't dreamed of him in months. We don't know anything, not really. We just have mom's fairy tales. It's been ten years, maybe our memories are wrong. I... I just wish we had some guidance, something firm." An image of an attractive man with a square jawline, full red lips, deep green eyes and chin-length shaggy blond hair flashed through Selina's mind. She inhaled deeply before speaking, "He's Valentino. We need to get to Red Lake Pack." ********************************************************************* The Lunaria bloodline has been hunted for generations forcing them to live as lone wolves to conceal their identities and ensure the chance to fulfill the prophecy. According to Selina’s mother, Selina Moonglow is the prophesied one. With the disappearance of her mother when she was young, Selina only knows four things: Her dreams will guide her Never reveal their true last name Follow her instincts Her wolf will stay bound until she accepts her mate. ****************************************************************** Selina stood before him, her fated mate. She had dreamt of his scent and his eyes for months now. A warmth crept over her as the flutter deep within her belly increased, almost to the point of breathlessness. He was seated at his desk, studying something with his shaggy blonde hair covering has face as he looked down. Why isn’t he looking up? The mate bond should be forcing his eyes to me... Selina thought. Confused she called his name, “Valentino..” Before she could finish, his cold, hard voice interrupted her, “It’s Alpha Valentino. Get out. I’m busy. Make an appointment.”

Eclipsing Boundaries: The Energy Within

Kairo Solis was your average broke college dropout—well, if “average” includes accidentally blowing up his microwave with raw energy while trying to make instant ramen. Turns out, he’s got this thing called Aeterna inside him, a mystical energy that can either unlock his infinite potential or turn him into a human firecracker. No big deal. Enter Zephyr Ionis, a shady mentor who appears out of thin air and starts spouting fortune cookie wisdom like, “Your greatest enemy is yourself,” while stealing Kairo’s last slice of pizza. Armed with cryptic advice, zero patience, and a stick he keeps whacking Kairo with during training, Zephyr sets Kairo on the path to becoming a Synchros master. But mastering Aeterna isn’t as easy as meditating and humming "om." For one, Kairo’s got to juggle protecting his little sister, Lina (who thinks Aeterna is just a fancy word for him being a dork), dodging the Shadowed Council (a group of edgy villains who seem to shop exclusively at Hot Topic), and confronting Lucan Drayke—a guy so dramatic he makes villains from soap operas look subtle. Between epic battles that could level city blocks and arguments over who ate the last energy bar, Kairo learns that true strength isn’t about punching harder—it’s about harmonizing with his inner self. And maybe, just maybe, it’s about not accidentally setting his pants on fire when trying out a new ability. Will Kairo save the world? Will he unlock the mysteries of Aeterna? Or will he spend the rest of his life arguing with Zephyr over whether pineapple belongs on pizza? One thing’s for sure: the universe is in for an explosive ride, and Kairo is about to prove that sometimes, the best way to eclipse boundaries is with a little humor and a lot of heart.

Ascendant Hero: Rebirth of the Limitbreaker

In a world where humanity is on the brink of collapse, society is governed by the Awakened—humans who have unlocked supernatural abilities and rise through ranks of power by defeating monsters in dungeons. The dungeons appeared mysteriously decades ago, bringing with them dangerous creatures that now threaten the survival of the world. The Awakened are society's only line of defense, but the system of power is corrupt, and the strongest hoard their abilities, controlling the flow of resources and status. At the center of this world is Jin Woo, an 18-year-old boy who, unlike his peers, never manifested any powers. Growing up in the slums, Jin Woo struggles to survive, enduring both the hardships of poverty and the scorn of a society that places value only on power. His one solace is his strong sense of justice, instilled in him by his late father, a former Awakened hero who mysteriously disappeared after a major battle. Jin Woo has spent his life studying the dungeons and training his body, in hopes that one day he could stand among the Awakened, despite being ordinary. Jin Woo’s life changes when he is killed in a surprise attack by a monster swarm in an illegal dungeon. In his final moments, Jin Woo curses the world’s unfairness, wishing for a chance to change his fate. His wish is granted when a mysterious entity known as The System offers him the chance to be “reborn.” The System gives him the unique ability to break free of the traditional leveling system, allowing him to surpass the limits of ordinary Awakened by continuously evolving without restrictions. Resurrected with newfound power, Jin Woo sets out on a quest to not only rise through the ranks of the Awakened but to challenge the very foundation of the corrupted system that controls them. Along the way, he forms bonds with a group of unlikely allies: Hana, a brilliant but mysterious mage whose magical potential was stunted by a hidden curse; Kaito, a former elite fighter who turned rogue after discovering the dark secrets of the Awakened; and Lina, an archer from a noble family who rebels against her own kin to fight for what’s right. Together, they uncover a deeper conspiracy involving the origin of the dungeons and the true purpose of the monsters. As Jin Woo pushes past the boundaries of strength and ability, he must contend not only with increasingly powerful enemies but also with the dangerous effects of The System on his mind and body. The more power he gains, the more he risks losing his humanity. Torn between his desire to protect those he loves and the temptation to wield absolute power, Jin Woo faces the ultimate choice: Will he become the hero the world needs, or will he fall victim to the very forces he seeks to destroy? In Ascendant Hero: Rebirth of the Limitbreaker, themes of power, corruption, and the human spirit intertwine in an epic tale of survival and self-discovery in a world where the greatest danger may not be the monsters, but the very system built to fight them.
