What would happen if you put 150 students together in a school-like system and had them compete in various challenges to earn points to try and become number one? The outcome has been pretty bland for the past few years at Astral Academy, and the results are not what the higher-ups who run it want, until now. New students have enrolled and will change everything. New faces with clashing personalities will compete against each other to get the reward that first place offers. Five different classes with thirty different students in each class. Who will come out on top? Malakai, who came from London to compete in this academy? Maria, the daughter of a famous actress? Alexander, who has got everything he has ever wanted? Ryan, who can get anything he wants? Isabella, who has never had to try for anything she's done. Dillon, who wants everything everyone else has? Adam, who wants to prove a point? Too many names but only one top spot. Will they be entertaining? I post chapters every Saturday.

As the last of the mist was expelled from her lips the man holding onto her stiffened further. He could only watch on helplessly as her silver eyes that used to glower at him with disdain slowly dim. His hands quiver out of despair and helplessness. "Wang Lan Biyu, keep your eyes on me. Do not fade away yet, do you hear me? I don't permit you to die!" The woman's pale face splashed with bits of blood rose into a weak disdainful smile. "You-*gasp..still want *gasp to act better than me..in the end*cough-" His eyes redden as another splash of red covers her pale lips. "Lan Biyu..." "-Chuanli*cough my guqin from master,...you hold onto it for me...ok?" Her last sentence was a faint weak whisper before her eyes flutter close shaking his heart and rattling his mind. "Lan Biyu!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Please be civilized and don't steal my cover as your own.

Ever heard of book travelling? Yep. Hear of fictional characters coming into reality? Not...so quite. Celia Elliott's life has been a complete tragedy since birth. She thought it might just be fate toying with her, until she knew of one thing. An author. The creator of this cruel world Celia dwelt in. All of her misfortunes were all created by him, being stringed around like a little puppet, suffering because the author said so. Never was it fate. Should she ever had the chance to meet the author of her life, she'd doubt she'd let him go. Ivor Schwartz, an infamous author had just recently been diagnosed of an fatal illness, one that had ran in his family's blood since so long ago. His parents deemed it as a curse. But before he was removed from this headache of his, something that was deemed impossible came to him. Should he keep her in the dark, lest she soughs out revenge? Or should he tell her the truth, one that she has the right to know? When the author meets the character they've created, the story would have no author to lead, and it shall all be up to the fates.

The way his fingers tap against the desk when he's restless. The slight clench of his jaw when he's annoyed. The way his lips barely part when he exhales. He doesn't notice me. No one does. But that's fine. Because I notice everything. And one day... Caspian Devereux will notice me too.

A decade ago, "Arjun Malhotra", a ruthless billionaire, and "Meera Sharma", a determined woman with dreams of her own, shared a connection that was undeniable yet destructive. Arjun, terrified of emotional attachment, refused to acknowledge his love and instead made a cruel, inappropriate proposal that shattered Meera’s heart. Choosing self-respect over love, Meera walked away, vowing never to look back. Time moved on. Meera built a peaceful life with "Raghav", a kind-hearted man who gave her stability and love.
