Ethan Smith marchait dans la rue vide, une cigarette à la bouche, secouant la tête et forçant un sourire amer. Qui aurait pu imaginer qu'après trois ans de mariage, tout ce qui restait était la trahison ? Il jura de faire regretter à cette femme ce qu'elle avait fait et promit de faire en sorte que tous ceux qui avaient été bons avec lui mènent une bonne vie. Oui, c'était Emily Taylor, la femme qui l'avait aidé à sortir de l'abîme du désespoir quand il avait touché le point le plus bas de sa vie. "Emily, il est temps pour moi de m'occuper de toi."

TRIGGER WARNING : R19+ / Mature Content What they expected when Holy Azarese Elyzena was born was a daydream. She is the third lady descended in a patrilineal lineage; it is her fate to become the next Empress after her mother. However, when Empress Siofra never opened her eyes again after giving birth to her, that is when they know she is another nightmare. Holy Azarese Elyzena was born with sinister curses; all bring death. No one could dare touch her, afraid to meet their end. Her father despised her for taking the love of his life from him. Her brothers avoided her. Her family cannot even look at her. She acted cutely; she tried being clumsy, she did everything to get an ounce of their affection, but they never gave her any, not even a drop. "Father, I did not ask to be born!" she sobbed pitifully in front of her father, who only glared at her with contempt. Since then, she became desperate until she became the person she never wanted to be. She never asked to be born, and she never asked to be born again. She only wanted to end her suffering. So why, when she opened her eyes, was she back to the time she was born? With the second chance given to her, will she avoid becoming the wicked Empress again, or will she drop her crown and choose which path to take?

One quiet night in Shanghai, Haoran found a strange cigarette on the wet pavement. Its edges were darkened, but it wasn’t burnt. A thin, silvery mist curled from it, almost like it was alive. Curious, he lit it and took a slow drag. The taste was bitter, metallic wrong. A sharp pain spread through his chest, like fire and ice fighting inside him. He coughed hard, but the smoke didn’t leave. Instead, it thickened, twisting into the air like living shadows. Then, from the swirling smoke, something took shape, a tall figure with glowing ember eyes and skin made of shifting ash. Its voice was deep and heavy, like burning coal. “You have awakened me,” it said. “Now, your fate is sealed.” Haoran’s hands shook, the cigarette still between his fingers. He thought he had just found an old cigarette. Instead, he had inhaled something far more dangerous.

I was just your average student—no special talents, no grand dreams, and most importantly… no girlfriend. My days were spent grinding through life, with my only true passion being games, mangas, and web novels. Every day, I’d see couples walking by, holding hands, whispering sweet nothings, and I’d think, Hell yeah! When's it my turn?! I mean, I deserve a cute girlfriend too, right? Someone to hold, someone to kiss—just once, please! But, of course, life had other plans. One second, I was daydreaming about romance. The next? BAM! Truck-kun hit me with the ultimate rejection letter—straight to another world. When I opened my eyes, I realized I had reincarnated... but not as the hero, not even as the sidekick. Nope. I got stuck as some low-level villain—a total extra—the kind that exists just to get one-shot by the protagonist in the early chapters. The good news? I know this game inside out. The bad news? The whole world is out to kill me. But if they think I'm going down that easily, they're in for a surprise. Using my game knowledge, I'll dodge every death flag, exploit every loophole, and rise to the top! And hey, if I end up with a harem of gorgeous girls along the way? Well… let’s call it a happy bonus! This is my story—where I rewrite my destiny, break the game, and maybe... just maybe... finally get that kiss!

"the mansion is heavily guarded you won’t succeed ” Primo told me as we lay on the bed together. Little Jay is on the cot sleeping and dreaming of his own wonderland. I ignored what Primo just said and went to the drawer for my mask and a small relaxer container. Dropping the mask on the bed I opened the relaxer container which contains a white substance. “ Well Primo you may have taught me how to be heartless because you are my cousin but there’s something I know more better than you ” “ and that is? ” he ask very curious to know what is inside the container. “ how and ways to kill ” I replied and I covered the container sitting down on the bed again. “ Bolanle but you’ve never killed before ” he said with a sigh but I just smile as I wear my boots and grab my mask again. “ hey you should have seen Favour’s face when I stabbed her neck with that bottle I mean it was so lovely ” I said with a cute smile before turning to see his expression which I loved actually. “ are we keeping secrets now? ” he managed to say getting out of his shock. “ you never asked ” I replied fixing my mask perfectly and I hear him just chuckle behind me just proud of his little sister. “ if I may ask what is inside that container? ” finally he did “ well a special type of weapon I got from a friend ” I answered pulling my makeup box. I did the make up perfectly and I brush the wig and glue it to it’s place I turned and cousin can’t seem to recognize me. “ Bolanle I think you should be careful.. you know the.. ” “ I know Primo but not even my mother will recognize me tonight and nothing can stop me ” I opened the container again and rub the substance on my thumb really well. I must get my revenge tonight or never. “ but don’t you think you should take it easy you know the….” before he could complete his statement I’m already out like a flash. * 3hours later * The room is dark except for the light that flickers on and off, the body on the floor stirs as it struggle with the rope and here I come in my real appearance like the devil ? itself. A long flowing gown looks so elegant on me with my long fixed weave that reach my back. He struggles a little more and I remove the gag “ who are you? And why are you doing this to me? ” he cried and that makes me laugh I cut the rope and he just lay like that unable to move again. “ don’t worry you are paralyzed from the waist down you won’t be able to move for some moments ” I said lighting a cigarette. “ Bolanle? ” he said with fear in his voice finally recognizing the devil in front of him smiling and using a knife to draw out some pattern on his face without cutting him. “ don’t worry Kanmi I just wanna play you know the kind of game you’ve been playing ever since we got married ” I said stopping the knife on his neck and cutting him slightly. I lick the blood and from the corner of my eye I can see the horror on his face. “ come to think of it Kanmi today is our tenth wedding anniversary won’t we celebrate? ” I said cutting deeper.

This novel is about a daydreamer whose daydreams became real

Being normal is boring... Dull... Monotonous... Simply gray.... So... I read books!!!!! Well of course not educational ones, how boring would that be! I read transmigration and cultivation ones, you know, The cultivation life, The overpower female lead, The mind blowing scheming, The powerful prince charmi - - -. ... " BANG!!!" Ava just found herself flying out of her house without being able to wipe the stupid grin from her face, due to her writing - turned - daydream, and landed on their lawn, face first. " What the f*ck?", she murmured while pulling her sorry ass up with a bleeding nose. ~~ whoosssshhh ~~ 'What the hell?', curses sprang again and again in her mind as she looks at their house, being consumed with red flames in one moment, and then green flames the other minute. As an ordinary student who barely listens to their class discussion, " Just what kind of chemistry is this?" *** " All of those female leads already have male leads right? RIGHT?!", she asked herself. " You never thought of me as a male?", a deep voice emerge behind her back, making her jump in shock. She is greeted by the most handsome frowning face she has ever seen in her whole existence, making her almost drool. " You're a beautiful scenery", she mindlessly replied, making the already frowning face turned black. " That's it?", he asked in an almost growling voice, irritated at the little girl's nonsense in front of him. Seeing his black face, she can't help but frown. " Huh? Hmpp---", her eyes widen as she realize the strange soft and moist thing sucking her mouth, making her legs turn into jelly. He catch her falling form and kissed her even deeply. He licks, sucks and enter, making her brain turns blank in pleasure. When he felt that she is already not breathing anymore, he broke the kiss. " Remember this young lady, I am a man. Your man." Photo not mine.

" I was harshly cut free of my bonds and taken to one of the buildings near the entry. One of the knights had split off from the procession, where a crowd had started to form and chanting could be hard. Before I could even take in the city. I was thrown into a cell. A dark, smelly, cell. Slamming against the bars, I begged to be released. As a nightmare replaced my daydream, I was left all alone in the cell. "

Everyone knows the classic Cinderella story. A prince who falls in love with a commoner and unintentionally rescues her from her abusive household. But… What if Cinderella were a prideful young man, and the prince… was a princess who could barely admit her own feelings? Oh. The things people will do for love. The illegitimate son from the Xie family is laughed at the aristocratic circle. Proud, aloof, and undeniably rude, he’s everything but likable. His only saving graces are his unmatched grades and a face that could stop traffic. Yang Qinru, the "tyrant" of Imperial Academy, is no damsel in distress. With a bat in one hand and wit sharp enough to cut steel, she’s both feared and respected. But behind her rebellion is a girl who’s unafraid to take what she wants—even if it’s someone as infuriating as Xie Xinglin. ... "You’re kind of cute,” Yang Qinru mumbled, her cheeks betraying her with a faint pink hue. "What was that?" Xie Xinglin looked up, frowning. "I said you look like you crawled out of a garbage can!" she snapped, cheeks flaming as she spun on her heel and stormed off. Later, Wang Ye leaned in with a sly grin. "Boss, you into him? Like, fantasizing-about-him kind of into him?" Yang Qinru shot him a glare. "Like who?" "You know… him. Do you, like, daydream about holding his hand and skipping through fields of flowers or something?" She snorted. "Of course not! What kind of nonsense—?" She paused, her voice dropping to a mumble. "It's not like I imagine us getting married, building a house in the countryside, and adopting five cats or anything." Wang Ye blinked, stunned. "Uh… boss, that’s oddly specific." "Shut up!" she barked, shoving him away. This isn’t your typical fairy tale. When the "Cinderella" isn’t waiting to be saved, and the "prince" has his own walls to break down, what’s left is a whirlwind romance of rivalry, sarcasm, and reluctant confessions. After all, love doesn’t always follow the script.

In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a world nestled beneath the great, towering peaks of the Silverthorn Mountains, ancient secrets and untold magic thrive. The inhabitants of Eldoria, a vibrant tapestry of humans, elves, and dwarves, live in harmony, drawing their strength from the enchanted ley lines that flow beneath the earth. However, a tremor has disturbed the peace—a rift has opened, casting dark shadows over the once untouched valleys. The story follows Aric, a young cartographer with dreams of exploring the world beyond his village of Lynwood. Fascinated by the legends surrounding the Silverthorn Mountains, he often finds himself daydreaming about the hidden wonders that lie below their snow-capped summits. One fateful evening, while mapping the hidden caverns that surround Lynwood, he stumbles upon a hidden entrance that leads him deep into the heart of the mountains. As Aric descends into the cavernous world below, he discovers a realm of luminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the subterranean light. Here, he meets Althea, a spirited elf with an affinity for nature, who guards the ancient knowledge kept within this hidden sanctuary. Together, they uncover the truth about the rift—a sinister force known as the Umbral Shadow has emerged, seeking to erode the natural balance of Eldoria. As Aric and Althea venture deeper into this enchanted world, they encounter mythical creatures: wise old dragons that breathe magic instead of fire, mischievous sprites that can shift forms, and ancient guardians bound to protect the secrets of their realm. With each friendship forged and challenge faced, Aric learns the value of courage, friendship, and the importance of preserving the harmony of nature. The journey intensifies as rumors spread of the Umbral Shadow rallying its forces in an attempt to harness the ley lines for its own dark purposes. Aric must rally the inhabitants of Eldoria, bridging the divides between the different races. With Althea by his side, they inspire the dwarves of Ironclad Forge and the elves of Silverleaf Hollow to stand against the impending doom. In a climactic showdown, the heroes confront the Umbral Shadow in the Crystal Cavern, where the ley lines converge. Using their newfound alliances and the ancient magic of the land, Aric and Althea lead a united front to reclaim their world. In the throes of battle, Aric realizes that the map he has been creating is not merely a guide to the land, but a tapestry woven with the fates of all its inhabitants. Ultimately, the power of unity, courage, and hope triumphs over darkness. As the rift closes and peace is restored, Aric emerges from the mountains, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. He returns to Lynwood, not just as a cartographer, but as a hero destined to share the wonders and stories of Eldoria with generations to come. Friendship, unity, courage, the balance of nature, and the importance of understanding one another across differences. In "Below the Mountain," adventure beckons under the earth, and young heroes discover that true magic lies not only in power but in the bonds we forge along the way.

Sai is an introspective young man with a penchant for quiet moments of reflection, spending his free time in parks and reading novels that evoke deep emotions. His life is routine, punctuated by occasional daydreams and wistful thoughts of a love that seems distant yet eerily familiar. One fateful day at the office, Sai is introduced to Kiara Mehra, a strikingly confident and charming new hire who claims they were married in a past life. Her assertion is not just a joke; it’s a deep conviction she holds, fueled by vivid dreams that feel more like memories. This revelation unsettles Sai but also stirs something within him—a vague, inexplicable sense of familiarity. Kiara is assigned as Sai's mentee, and the two develop a bond marked by mutual curiosity and a growing undercurrent of attraction. Kiara’s unfiltered warmth and Sai’s cautious demeanor complement each other, but her past-life claims remain a source of mystery and intrigue, fueling office gossip and Sai’s internal conflict. As Sai mentors Kiara, he is drawn to her sincerity and determination, but her insistence on their connection challenges his logical nature. Their relationship evolves from colleagues to friends, and their shared moments—matching watches, synchronized habits, and unspoken understanding—hint at an unexplainable connection that transcends time. Their bond deepens until one tragic day when an accident involving Sai and Kiara changes everything. Sai saves Kiara from being hit by a car, sustaining serious injuries in the process. Kiara is overcome with guilt and trauma, feeling responsible for his condition. However, the aftermath of the accident has an unexpected twist: Kiara wakes up unable to remember Sai or the accident. Her mind suppresses the memories as a defense mechanism, leaving Sai heartbroken yet determined to protect her peace. Sai makes the difficult decision to transfer to another branch, believing that distance will help Kiara heal without the burden of her suppressed memories. He carries his love for her silently, watching her from afar as she moves to London for further studies, unaware of their shared history. A year passes.

On her birthday, Kiara is flooded with fragments of memories that feel too real to dismiss. Her parents, noticing her distress, reveal pieces of her forgotten past, leading her to rediscover the connection she once shared with Sai. Moved by the realization, Kiara returns to the park where she first felt the depth of their bond. To her surprise, Sai is there, sitting on the same bench, lost in thought. Their reunion is poignant, filled with unspoken emotions and quiet acknowledgment of the time they lost. Sai is hesitant, fearing he will disrupt the fragile balance Kiara has rebuilt, but Kiara is resolute. She apologizes for forgetting him and confesses her love, rekindling the bond they once shared. The story concludes with hope and renewal as Sai and Kiara decide to face their future together, embracing the love that survived lifetimes and transcended memory

I decided to write this story since it has been on my mind for years now. I've always been daydreaming about certain stories, characters and such for a long time, and now I finally decided to try writing for the first time. I wish I could've drawn this story, but I'm bad at drawing so that won't happen anytime soon. I would also like to mention that English is not my first language so expect some errors here and there. HOWEVER I am trying my best to fix it [rewriting certain sections, grammar, typos and such]. I also appreciate criticism, tips and/or tricks on how I could improve this story/writing. Also most parts in this story might seem confusing, but that is intentional. That's just how this story goes. Everything that might seem confusing now will get an explanation later on. There might have some parts where I have a massive skill issue, but most are intentional. One last thing I would like to mention is that, I'm not 100% sure about the tags. I added what seemed to be reasonable, but that could also change in the future.)

The rain didn't stop pouring as the night slowly became darker, I knew I acted on impulse but at this point there was no going back, going back would mean surrendering my life back to torture and captivity. I couldn't go back after coming this far. I wiped off the rain on my face and headed straight down the alley. At this point, I knew I've made a terrible mistake. The alley was quietly dark and all I could hear was the smell of cigarette and distant footsteps. Am I to run back to my boss, am I to keep pushing, maybe, but it was an alley with a dead end. . . . . 4years ago CHAPTER 1

Corin's mental health has been going haywire for a while longer than she knew it. From her mother having an affair with a pastor, her father taking his own life after learning his wife's infidelity, and up to her older brother eloping with his girlfriend, leaving her behind with only a few million inheritance money from his father and a spacious mansion that's been empty since everyone decided they do not want it anymore.  It was one Sunday night when a normal get-together with her friends turned into a night she would never forget. The drunk Corin Lenora Fulgencio tripped on her feet while dancing naughtily, coincidentally landing in the arms of the alluring Enoch Stefano Vizzini, who just walked inside the club with a cigarette on his right hand, a car key on his left, eyes tired from not getting enough sleep, lips red as hell's flame, and hair messed up by the wild wind. Having too much alcohol in her system, Corin decided to flirt with this stranger, drink a whole lot more, sleep with him, and leave him in the morning. But if she thinks that everything is just a simple one-night stand, she's wrong. Because the next day, when she went to school, he was there as her new substitute professor, and he will do everything in his power to make sure that the young lady who screamed his name in pleasure the other night will be wrapped in his embrace again.
