To Rule the World: The Price of Power

Lourdes, a meticulous accounting student working part-time to support her family, notices a disturbing pattern: street vendors, particularly Sampaguita sellers, are disappearing without a trace. The police dismiss them as runaways, but Lourdes suspects something far more sinister. Her meticulous nature, honed by her accounting studies, allows her to see patterns others miss – subtle financial transactions, unusual delivery schedules, and whispers of a clandestine organization operating in the fringes of Manila's society. Her investigation leads her into the hidden corners of Manila, from bustling markets to exclusive art galleries and opulent private clubs, uncovering a network of exploitation that extends far beyond the missing vendors. She discovers that this isn't just about money; it's about power. A chilling clandestine society is systematically exploiting the vulnerable, using them as pawns in a larger game, a game of control and influence that reaches into the highest echelons of Manila's elite. This group isn't just content with wealth; they crave domination, a subtle but pervasive form of ruling the world within their sphere of influence. With her friend Anne's help, Lourdes must expose the truth before more lives are lost, risking her own safety in the process. She realizes that confronting this powerful network means challenging not just their criminal activities, but their very desire to control and manipulate.

Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in the world of Murim, ascending to become the pinnacle after countless hardships, blood, and tears, and sacrificing her own humanity in the process.

The Price of Harmony

In a galaxy ravaged by war and haunted by the ever-expanding Dead Zones, Naia is a skilled Harmony Navigator - a person of extraordinary powers that can temporarily stabilize paths through them. Thus she was trained and recruited into the branch of the military known as Vanguard Operations. She finds her romance - a welcome stabilizing factor in her life - thrown into turmoil when the enigmatic and powerful soldier, Theia, joins her squad. It would be clear to anyone that the two women looked very much alike… and it was long clear to Naia that this woman was the one she was always meant to replace in Evander’s heart. Bound by duty, Naia must navigate not only the treacherous reality-bending terrain of the Dead Zones but also the growing tension and unspoken desires within their team. As her squad leader Evander's attention slips ever more towards the alluring and unpredictable Theia, the Navigator grapples with feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and a growing sense of isolation. Love & Duty - Or Duty & Sacrifice? A balance that the three can live with is sought. Will she be able to maintain her focus and fulfill her vital role in the war effort, or will the discord fomenting within their squad consume them all? Naia must confront the rising tide of chaos, both within herself and slowly building in the world around her… ultimately discovering the true price of harmony. ---- Romance-Drama with a Science-Fantasy setting. Messy Triangle - yes. An Omni-Directional one? At times, but it's not poly. Some FxM R-18/Smut... Interspersed tastefully and plot progressively. --In this author's opinion, anyway. * Eventual Les/Yuri/FxF scenes, yes. * You're Welcome. ---- If you like your love stories poking you in the feels in the middle of fantastical settings, check out my other works too! It's kind of what I do.

Mi viaje I

Este es el primer fic de una serie bastante grande, se basa principalmente en un graduado de universidad que por azares del destino y con "ayuda" de su padre viaja al mundo de Harry Potter. Nunca le agradó el grado de autismo de algunos personajes de la historia así que espera cambiar algunas cosas para evitar morir en el mundo mágico... Máximo es miembro de un grupo secreto conocido como Ouroboros, este grupo se encarga de estudiar la mágia y desarrollarla, sin embargo muchos de sus miembros son "nerds" de la mágia y sólo les importa desarrollar magia sin compartirla con el mundo exterior por lo que no muchos conocen la organización, a lo largo de los años esto los llevó a su caída por lo que ciertas organizaciones crecieron y sólo se mantiene un ligero equilibrio entre blanco y negro. Máximo Black vera el estancamiento de los magos y tomará medidas tratando de fusionar ciertas ideas del futuro con la magia, debido a que se desarrolla rápidamente encuentra obstáculos de ciertas familias y organizaciones oscuras. Para seguir aprendiendo magia y debido a ciertas obligación se ve en la necesidad de ser maestro en Hogwarts. Muchos fanfics hablan sobre organizaciones oscuras y el personaje lucha contra ellas, sin embargo se me hace terriblemente estúpido que no existan organizaciones secretas "de la luz" sino existieran el mundo mágico habría caído. No es lectura ligera así que te recomiendo ser paciente con el desarrollo de la historia, he procurado hacer un protagonista inteligente y que no le importe ensuciarse las manos de vez en cuando para lograr sus objetivos. A los lectores que ya leyeron esta historia a sus inicios espero no desepcionarlos pero creo que sí me dan ganas podré viajar entre mundos, mientras tanto me enfocaré en el mundo de Harry P. Espero disfruten la novela, déjame un comentario sobre tu opinión, sino te gusta dime porque y trataré de mejorarlo
