Hoodie Marble Hornets

Before You Read – A Warning! This novel may contain grammar errors, misspellings, and the occasional linguistic abomination, as English is not my first language. If you are expecting flawless prose, poetic descriptions, or a literary masterpiece… my condolences. You have come to the wrong place. For example, a refined and eloquent novel might begin with: "The moonlight cascaded through the ornate window, bathing the weary traveler in a silver embrace as he tread upon the marble floors of destiny." Meanwhile, this novel? "Mc woke up. He was confuse. Why there dragon? Where his pant?" See the difference? If you start losing brain cells along the way, that’s on you. But hey, if you’re still here after all that, then welcome. You might just be insane enough to enjoy this. ┏(・o･)┛ Participation in WSA >:D

My heart was pounding hard inside my chest now. I could not move or look away when the man slowly removed a hoodie that had covered most of his face. I inhaled sharply when his dark eyes locked with mine, paralyzing me. My breathing got more strained, and heavy dizziness drowned me while his lips curved into an evil smile as everything around me faded. -------------------------------- Mary Oak had no idea who she was or where she was as she opened her eyes, lying on the cold, dark ground. The only memory she could recall was a dark, smirking silhouette standing before her across the street, whispering; Mary, Oh Mary...

``` SELESAI! Potongan: Setahun yang lalu Raine keluar dari lembaga kejiwaan dan harus tinggal di panti asuhan. Itu bukan tempat terbaik. Paling tidak, tidak untuk seseorang sepertinya. Hingga satu malam yang menentukan dia bertemu dengannya. *** Ia menghentikan mobilnya. Cengkeraman pada selimut itu semakin kuat saat Raine bertanya-tanya apakah dia telah melakukan sesuatu yang salah. Ia bisa merasakannya ketika Torak mengulurkan tangannya kepadanya. Apakah dia akan memukul saya? Raine menggigil dengan pemikiran itu. Torak menarik kap hoodie Raine sehingga terbuka dan dengan lembut merapikan rambutnya ke belakang telinganya. "Jangan." Katanya tegas, "Aku ingin melihatmu, jangan menyembunyikan dirimu…" ************** “Roh dari malaikat pelindung akan meniupkan kehidupan baru ke dalam anak manusia. Tiga malaikat pelindung akan terlahir kembali ke dunia duniawi dan kalian bertigalah yang akan menjadi penjaga mereka.” “Penjaga!!?” Jedrek terkejut. Akhirnya, ia berhenti berjalan dan berbalik untuk memandang dewi bulan dari kejauhan, matanya berkilat merah dalam kemarahan. Serigala dalam dirinya sangat marah. “Kenapa kau pikir kami akan membantu?” tanya Kace sambil menyempitkan matanya yang serupa obsidian hitam, serigalanya mengambil alih dirinya. Dia adalah yang termuda di antara mereka bertiga dan yang paling bisa mengendalikan amarahnya. Mereka bertiga dikutuk oleh Selene karena tindakan buas mereka dalam mencari kekuasaan dan kekuatan tertinggi. Dewi bulan tidak memberkati mereka dengan pasangan sebagai hukuman atas cara mereka yang kejam dan memaksa mereka untuk terlibat dalam perang mematikan ini dengan para iblis. “Kau akan menjadikan kami budak bagi makhluk-makhluk sakit itu!?” Torak bertanya tidak percaya. “Tidakkah kau takut bahwa kami akan mematahkan mereka menjadi dua?” Malaikat pelindung sangat rapuh dan mereka sebagai lycanthrope tidak menghargai kelemahan. “Tidak, kalian tidak akan.” Selene berkata dengan sabar. “Kalian tidak akan menjadi budak mereka atau menyakiti mereka, kalian akan menghargai mereka dengan setiap cara yang mungkin.” Jedrek tertawa mengancam mendengar ini, mereka tidak peduli tentang kebangkitan si binatang buas, sekali mereka melewati wilayah mereka, dengan atau tanpa malaikat pelindung, dia akan merobek-robek tubuh mereka. "Saya akan menjadi orang terakhir yang mereka lihat, begitu saya menemukan mereka.” Ia mengacu pada malaikat pelindung dan iblis tersebut. Namun, suara berikutnya dari Selene dipenuhi dengan ceria saat dia berbicara. “Kalian tidak akan menyakiti pasangan kalian.” ============================ Sesi 1 (bab 1 - 394) : Torak Donovan - Raine (selesai).

I had three simple rules: 1. Never remove the hood and mask. 2. Don’t attract attention. 3. Follow rule one and two at all costs. Simple, right? Well, I followed them religiously—until Jason came along and shattered them all. I didn’t want anyone to know my identity. I just wanted to stay in the shadows, finish school, and disappear. But no, the stupid jock had to get in my way, and now my peaceful, hidden life is in ruins. I didn’t mean to embarrass the school’s golden boy. His name? Jason. He’s the son of the country’s richest CEO. Ironically, I chose this place to hide from my own father, the man I’m trying to escape. I look too much like him, and if anyone made the connection, my cover would be blown. Hence, the hood and mask I wear every single day. But now, instead of just hiding from my father, I have to watch out for Jason, too. He’s vowed to make my life miserable. I still can’t figure out his obsession with me—one minute he’s humiliating me in front of everyone, and the next he’s trying to kiss me behind the bleachers.

To make matters worse, he had to pay for the damages that was caused by the customer. Beautiful people, they had it easy, didn't they?

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image

In the year 1923 PR of the Pax Romana calendar, the Roman Empire stands eternal — a continent-spanning superpower where marble and steel meet advanced technology. The legions march beneath banners of iron and laurel, guided by the wisdom of ancient tradition and the cold precision of machine intelligence. Yet beneath the surface of this Pax Romana, the empire’s heart beats with ambition, intrigue, and the ever-present hunger for power. As the Empire and its foes mobilize, so do the amalgamations of heroes of old, their spirits reborn through the burning forge of ambition. As they once saved the nations they are eternally sworn to serve, they shall once more safeguard humanity as it pushes beyond the small cradle of Gaia and into the great night beyond. But are they watching the void, or is the void watching them? -x-x-x- The picture is not mine. I took it from the internet.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

The grand doors of Edelweiss Swordschool creaked open, revealing a vast courtyard surrounded by towering spires and the impressive silhouette of the castle. Lein stood at the entrance, his eyes wide with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. He adjusted the cloak around him, feeling the warmth of the earring given to him by his father's old swordmaster. As he stepped forward, a hand clapped down on his shoulder, causing him to turn. A fellow student, a girl of his age with fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned at him. "Hey there, new kid! You must be Lein, right?" she said with a playful tone. Lein gave a nod, managing a small smile. "Yes, that's me. Lein von Hrunting." "I'm Elara. Welcome to Edelweiss!" She gestured to the sprawling campus. "Come on, I'll show you around and help you get settled." As they strolled through the courtyard, Elara pointed out the training grounds, the library, and the various towers where students attended classes. Lein couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the school. "So, why did you come here?" Elara asked, glancing at him. Lein hesitated for a moment before replying, "My father believes I might have a talent for being a Spellblade, like him. He arranged for me to study here." "Ah, a Spellblade! That's impressive. You'll be training with the best of the best," she said with a grin. "That being said, you'll be expected to beat them if that is truly your goal." They reached the entrance of the castle, and Elara opened the door for Lein. The interior was just as imposing as the exterior, with polished marble floors and towering pillars. As they walked through the corridors, Lein couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes were on him. Elara led him to a room with a wooden door bearing the emblem of Edelweiss. "This is your room," she announced, pushing the door open. Inside, Lein found a neatly arranged space with a comfortable bed, a small desk, and a window that offered a view of the surrounding mountains. His luggage was already placed by the bed. "Your stuff arrived earlier. We've got a few hours before the welcoming ceremony, so take your time settling in. If you need anything, I'll be around." Elara said, giving him a friendly wave before heading out. Alone in his new room, Lein took a deep breath. This was the beginning of a new chapter in his life. As he unpacked his belongings, he couldn't help but wonder what challenges and adventures awaited him at Edelweiss Swordschool. Little did he know, the journey ahead would test not only his skills but also the mysterious power that lay dormant within him. The cloak of anonymity provided by the earring would prove to be both a blessing and a curse in the days to come.

Welcome to Cipher Academy, an elite private school where only the wealthiest and most gifted students walk its pristine marble halls. But beneath its luxurious facade lies a clandestine world of espionage, assassination, and secrets that could shake nations. Kira Yurei, a 17-year-old with jet-black hair and haunting pink eyes, is one of the academy’s top operatives—a member of the Student Council, the school’s elite governing body, which secretly doubles as an organization of highly trained assassins and spies. With a cold, apathetic demeanor and surgical precision in every mission, Kira seems untouchable, a shadow in human form. But cracks start to form in the school’s perfect image when Leon Ashford, a brilliant and manipulative golden-haired boy with striking violet eyes, starts poking around. Known for his sharp wit and unrivaled intellect, Leon is not only the top academic student but also someone the school’s higher-ups have cautiously considered recruiting. Yet, they know better—they fear him. Leon is far too perceptive, far too dangerous. When a series of inexplicable accidents start happening on campus—students disappearing, encrypted messages left in lockers, and faint traces of blood in off-limits areas—Leon’s curiosity turns into obsession. His fixation on Kira only grows, sensing that the cold boy is at the center of it all. As secrets begin to unravel and alliances blur, Kira is forced to confront the weight of his loyalty to the Student Council, the enigmatic Headmaster Alistair, and the shadowy figure known only as “The Director.” Will Leon uncover the truth behind the academy’s dark underbelly, or will Kira silence him before he gets too close? And when the final mission threatens to upend the entire system, whose side will each boy stand on?

Das Leben ist nicht immer leicht. Vor allem nicht als depressive Abiturientin, mit Narben im Gesicht. Dabei wünscht sich Hope Reuther einfach nur ein normales Leben. Sie wusste ja schon immer, dass mit ihr etwas nicht stimmt. Noch dazu macht sie trotz ihrer bitteren Vergangenheit, ihr Abitur ein Jahr zu früh. Was die Sache mit dem normalen Leben noch ein bisschen komplizierter macht. Da Hope jedoch sowieso von den meisten gemieden wird, weil sie weder die Kapuze ihres schwarzen Hoodies noch ihre Handschuhe jemals ablegt, hatte sie sich da eigentlich eh schon keine allzu großen Hoffnungen gemacht. Zudem lässt sie die Tatsache, dass ihr einziger Freund ein paranoider Rabe ist, der ihr folgt und sie pausenlos vollquatscht, zunehmend an ihrer Zurechnungsfähigkeit zweifeln. Als ihr Lehrer ihr dann auch freudig eröffnet, dass sie das beste Abitur des Jahrgangs geschrieben haben soll und ihr von einer ominösen Organisation namens "WELTENREITER" ein Stipendium angeboten wird, würde Hope am liebsten schreiend (oder kotzend?) davonlaufen. Doch einer der angeblichen Studenten, die sie rekrutieren sollen, scheint viel mehr zu wissen, als er preisgeben mag. Der weißhaarige Fremde mit den silbernen Augen, der zu allem Überfluss auch noch Night heißt, ist so weit von Normalität entfernt, dass es fast schon wehtut. Und gerade als Hope denkt, es könnte nicht noch schlimmer werden, ist bereits völliges Chaos ausgebrochen und ihr Leben total auf den Kopf gestellt. Sprechende Raben, apokalyptische Reiter, das biblische Ende aller Welten... und ein Zurück erscheint unmöglich...

The smelly hearse stopped at the door, the sound of marbles crashing from the ceiling, someone pacing back and forth in the corridor, and the next room seemed to be cutting something. The door lock in the bedroom vibrated slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom was tightened, but it was still ticking. There seemed to be a ball rolling under the bed. The footprints stained with water are constantly emerging on the floor and are slowly approaching. At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge hid beside the radiator with a kitchen knife, and the phone in his hand had just been dialed. "Landlord!"! This is the night you said.A little lively?! "

In the third week of dating Finley Garcia, Victoria Young overheard him yapping: "That so - called true - born daughter the Young family dug up ain't got no love from 'em. I'm just messing around with her, for kicks." "Back when Victoria first strutted her stuff back into the Young family, she had a wicked allergic reaction to pineapple on day one. And it was her two older bros who pulled that stunt on purpose, just to show her who's boss." Victoria didn't waste a second and dumped Finley flat. She also cut all the strings tied to the Young family. Finley didn't give a hoot. Victoria was just a washed - up rich chick that nobody would give two cents for.

In the heart of medieval times, Atika, a tribal slave girl adorned with intricate tattoos marking her heritage, finds herself on the auction block once again. Known for her fierce spirit and unyielding defiance, she has been sold and returned by numerous masters, none able to tame the wildness within her. Atika's life changes when Virgil, a handsome and tall pureblood vampire, attends the auction. Cold, sadistic, and narcissistic, Virgil's reputation precedes him. Yet, he is immediately captivated by Atika's beauty and fiery spirit. Her feral nature reminds him of a wild kitten, earning her the nickname "kitten" from him. Intrigued and seeing potential in her that others have missed, Virgil places a high bid, securing Atika as his new possession. He brings her to his grand estate, a place of opulence and dark secrets. There, he plans to mold her into a perfect servant, but he is also drawn to the possibility of something more—an unusual bond that neither can yet define. Excerpt: The moonlight filtered through the high, arched windows of Lord Virgil’s estate, casting an ethereal glow over the polished marble floors. The imposing figure of Virgil, a tall and handsome pureblood vampire with raven hair and piercing red eyes, stood in the center of the grand hall. His gaze was fixed on Atika, the human slave girl who knelt before him, her tribal attire and tattoos a stark contrast to the opulence around her. Atika's spirit was unbroken despite her circumstances. She was feisty, with a sharp tongue and a sweetness that could disarm even the coldest of hearts. But Virgil was not easily swayed. His narcissistic and sadistic nature made him a master of control, and he relished the challenge she presented. “Kneel, kitten,” Virgil commanded, his voice smooth and unwavering. Atika hesitated for a moment, her eyes flashing with rebellion, but she complied, sinking to her knees before him. She hated the nickname he had given her, but there was a strange intimacy in the way he said it, a possessiveness that sent shivers down her spine. Virgil stepped closer, his tall frame towering over her. He reached out, lifting her chin with a single finger, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Such a feral kitten,” he murmured, a hint of amusement in his voice. “You remind me of a wild creature, untamed and full of fire.” Atika’s breath hitched, but she refused to look away. “I am not a pet,” she said defiantly. “I am a warrior.” Virgil chuckled, the sound low and dangerous. “You are whatever I say you are,” he replied, his thumb brushing over her lips. “And right now, you are mine.” His eyes flickered to the brand on her shoulder, the mark that declared her a slave. His expression darkened, the amusement vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. “Who branded you with this mark?” he demanded, his voice cold and sharp. Atika’s heart pounded, fear and anger warring within her. She knew that revealing the name would bring death, but Virgil's patience was not infinite. She remained silent, her defiance a silent challenge. Virgil’s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on her chin. “Answer me, kitten,” he growled, his voice a dangerous whisper. “Who dared to mark you as their property?” Tears welled in Atika’s eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she finally spoke. “His name is Varek,” she said her voice barely a whisper. “He is the one who branded me.” Virgil’s expression grew darker, a deadly calm settling over him. He released her, turning away with a dangerous grace. “Varek,” he repeated, the name like poison on his lips. “He will pay for this.”
