Aetheria: Rise Of The Digital Empire

In the year 2099, the world stands on the brink of a technological revolution. Maxwell Harrison Carter, a brilliant yet enigmatic tech prodigy, unveils Aetheria—a boundless virtual world powered by cutting-edge VR technology and neural interface systems. But Aetheria is more than just a game; it’s a new reality, a digital empire where power, wealth, and influence transcend borders. Backed by the mysterious Business Domination System (BDS), Maxwell isn't just playing to win—he’s playing to dominate. With missions guiding his path, rewards fueling his empire, and an unshakable vision driving him forward, he begins building a legacy that blurs the line between reality and the virtual realm. As governments, corporations, and shadowy factions move to seize control of Aetheria, Maxwell must navigate corporate espionage, cyber warfare, and political manipulation. With his loyal team by his side—Adrian, Mia, Isabella, Dr. Lin Mei, and Ethan—he pushes the limits of technology, strategy, and ambition. But power comes with a price, and not everyone wants to see Maxwell succeed. With billions of lives, trillions of dollars, and the future of two worlds hanging in the balance, Maxwell must make ruthless decisions to protect his vision and outmaneuver every rival. The question remains: Can one man truly build an empire that bridges the real and the virtual? Aetheria: Rise of the Digital Empire is an epic tale of ambition, technology, and the relentless pursuit of power in a world where the line between game and reality no longer exists. "This isn't just a game. It's the future. And I will control it." — Maxwell Harrison Carter

To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought, and that humanity may not be the side that she should be fighting for. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and world building, everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience. Public Spotify playlist for Volume 1 is under the name: TLAR - Book 1 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07czy216X1xB6F1mfRtl31?si=3cff937234e64589 Volume 2 playlist: TLAR - Book 2 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7dxCyfh3i4EV2SaEj0iVZs?si=9636c983657c475d This is rated 'No one under 17 permitted' for (very) mature themes, including drug use, assault, discrimination against same sex couples, language, violence etc. Please note that no storyline is chosen for shock value, and most are taken from personal experience, and hopefully handled with the care, respect and sensitivity they deserve. Disclaimers are added against any chapter that may cause distress. The main couple is a man and woman but there are also LGBTQ+ characters and relationships spread throughout, hope you enjoy!

L'héritière qui lit dans les pensées : de l'imposture à la favorite de la famille

Wenyan lisait un livre dans lequel un personnage de chair à canon portant son nom était une fausse héritière. Lorsque la véritable héritière reprenait sa place, l'imposteur essayait de sécuriser sa position dans la riche famille en droguant le fils aîné et en en faisant un fait accompli avec une histoire de riz déjà cuit, pour finir par être démasquée par la Famille Shen et se suicider dans le désespoir. Wenyan était furieuse de voir une telle fin. Comment ne pourrait-on pas survivre sans le soutien d'une famille aisée ? La famille ne lui avait-elle pas fourni une maison de luxe et d'innombrables biens de luxe ? Il suffirait de vendre tout cela pour empocher des dizaines de millions. Elle était simplement un cas désespéré ! Si elle avait été la Wenyan du livre, elle aurait abandonné sa place et simplement vécu décontractée comme un poisson salé ! Mais lorsqu'elle se réveilla de son sommeil, elle avait réellement été transportée dans le livre. Fidèle à sa parole, elle arrêta de comploter. En une nuit, elle fit ses valises, vendit sa maison, sa voiture et ses sacs, et chercha un emploi. - Toute la Famille Shen remarqua le changement chez Wenyan, leur fille adoptive. Non seulement elle avait déménagé docilement, mais elle n'avait également jamais causé d'ennuis à nouveau. Plus bizarre encore, ils pouvaient maintenant voir ses pensées les plus intérieures ! 【Papa, Maman, je n'ai jamais voulu usurper votre nid, mais les résultats du test ADN de votre véritable fille ont des problèmes. En fait, elle est encore plus fausse que moi, la fausse héritière.】 Parents de la Famille Shen : ...... Puis, la 'fille' perdue de longue date qui avait été retrouvée fut exposée en tant qu'imposteur et emmenée par la police pour interrogatoire. 【Grand frère, ce camarade de classe à toi n'est pas fréquentable, il est un espion industriel, l'enfant illégitime des plus grands ennemis de la Famille Shen.】 L'aîné de la Famille Shen : ...... Par la suite, le camarade s'est fait prendre en volant des documents confidentiels et a également été emmené par la police pour interrogatoire. 【Deuxième frère, tu es une personne si pure et noble, tu ne dois pas être avec la fille de la Famille Qin, elle se sert de toi, son cœur est en réalité porté sur quelqu'un d'autre.】 Le deuxième fils de la Famille Shen : ...... Merci, je vais me renseigner. 【Et toi, troisième frère, quatrième frère ......】 Au final, personne n'aurait pu prédire que la plus insignifiante des filles adoptives de la Famille Shen deviendrait la belle-fille choyée.

To Love a Crowned Enemy

A woman from Hull was never meant to wear a crown. And yet, today, they would place one on her head. Verona Falkenrath has spent her life among the wild forests and untamed lands of Hull, a province scorned by the noble courts of Praylor. To them, she and her people are nothing more than barbarians—useful for their resources but unworthy of standing among kings. When she is forced into an arranged marriage with Prince Lucian Velthorne, heir to the Praylor throne, Verona knows what is expected of her: be silent, be obedient, and be grateful. But Verona has never known how to kneel. Lucian never wanted a wife—especially not one from Hull. Cold, calculating, and bred for power, he sees their union as nothing more than a political necessity. She is a means to an end, a bridge to keep Hull under Praylor’s control. But from the moment Verona enters his court, she defies him at every turn—fierce, untamed, and impossible to ignore. Yet behind the whispers of their unlikely marriage, something far more dangerous is brewing. A neighboring country has begun sowing rebellion in Hull’s shadows, promising freedom from Praylor’s rule. When Verona uncovers the plot, she faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to her homeland, or betray those who would see it burn. But Lucian has his own doubts—when the rebellion reaches its peak, can he truly trust the woman he once swore was his enemy? Bound by duty, divided by war, and drawn together by something neither of them expected, Verona and Lucian must decide—is their marriage just another political game, or the beginning of a love that could reshape kingdoms?

Mr. Feng Shui's Folk Anecdotes

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.

Bound By Blood And Fire

Freya has spent her life as an outcast—beaten, humiliated, and branded a disappointment. A servant in the house of the man who once called himself her father. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, everything changes. She awakens to a truth more dangerous than the chains that bound her. She is not just a disgraced wolf. She is something more—something both feared and hunted. Prince Dorian, ruthless heir to the throne, knows what she is. She is his mate. The one fate has bound to him in ways he never wanted. But to him, she is also a weapon—a pawn in the bloody war against the hunters. He takes her, claims her, and keeps her not out of love, but control. "You think I won’t reject you?" Dorian’s voice is low, edged with cruel amusement as he presses her against the cold stone wall of his chamber. His grip is iron, his breath a promise of ruin. "I will. The moment you become useless to me." But there is another. Tiberius, the legendary hunter with emerald eyes that see too much and a touch that burns her differently, has searched for her his entire life. He was raised to despise wolves, to slaughter them without hesitation. Yet when he looks at Freya, he does not see an enemy. He sees his mate. "They told me I would find you," Tiberius murmurs, his fingers brushing over the bruises Dorian left on her wrists. His gaze is both tender and deadly. Caught between two kings, two destinies, and two deadly temptations, Freya must decide who she truly is. A key to destruction, or a bridge to salvation? But what happens when the wolf prince refuses to let her go… and the hunter king refuses to let her fall? A brutal prince. A vengeful hunter. A woman bound by fate. One will break her. One will save her. Or will she choose to save herself?
