Mama Norris

“A escuridão não pode expulsar a escuridão, apenas a Luz pode fazer isso,” disse a Deusa Amalthea enquanto segurava William em seu amoroso abraço. “O ódio não pode expulsar o ódio, apenas o Amor pode fazer isso.” Para ajudar seus irmãos e irmãs no orfanato, e salvar a pessoa que ama, William decidiu fazer o sacrifício supremo. Este ato altruísta comoveu os corações dos Deuses a ponto de darem a William a oportunidade de entrar no Ciclo de Reencarnação com suas bênçãos. Junto com sua Mama Ella e um rebanho de cabras, William embarca em uma nova jornada para encontrar o significado da felicidade em sua nova vida. Em um mundo de espadas e magia, onde as aventuras correm soltas e livres, a história do Pastor Lendário está prestes a começar!

Five years ago, everything shattered. An accident. A baby. A goodbye with no turning back. She vanished from the world she once knew, pregnant and alone. No degree. No future. Just her, a secondhand car, and a daughter who calls her “mama” between cheap takeout meals and midnight Didi runs. By day, she's invisible. By night, she drives circles around a city that’s too big for broken dreams. She’s used to passengers coming and going, until he gets in her car. The man she once loved. The father of her child. But she doesn’t recognize him. And he? He never forgot her. That man is Kellan Elliott, young CEO of the elite Elliott Group. Cold, untouchable, and far too late. When fate throws Rachel and Kellan back into the same orbit, things don’t explode. They simmer. Kellan doesn’t know the truth. Rachel doesn’t want his pity. And caught in the middle is a little girl who keeps calling the stranger in the suit “Daddy.” But uncovering the truth could break all of them apart... or finally bring them the family they never got to be. This is a secret baby story. One person. One city. One car. One beloved. I’ve driven every road in this city. Will you ever find your way back to me?

After three years of marriage, they continued to treat each other with mutual respect. Following their divorce, he transformed into someone obnoxiously insistent. Yet Norris Moore sneered, "Get lost, I'd marry anyone but you!"

Mikael, the firstborn son, is forced to grow up fast and becomes the family’s breadwinner upon his father’s death in an accident. At his tender age, he is already providing his family with an income by taking care of tens of chickens for their eggs and a few cows for their milk. Then tragedy struck. Mikael’s life was cut short—a hit-and-run victim. That drives Magda, his mother, still mourning for the loss of her husband, and now for her firstborn, into even greater despair. However, his death does not sever the love and obligation Mikael has for his family—his mama and his younger sibling, Lulu. To meet his destiny and in his efforts to save the lives of his mama, Lulu and Happy, his faithful dog, his spirit sets him on a journey filled with adventures that are tense, weird, and magical yet amazing. During his journeys and often with Lulu and Happy, they encounter various strange creatures: butterflies, chicks, rabbits and birds of gigantic size. As he wanders in and out of caves, and between valleys and waterfalls, he also meets tiny creatures and dwarves. And of course, kind-hearted fairies and butterflies.

Jo-Pil, ahem, I mean, I was just a simple sales manager who was more than satisfied with my way of living, thank you very much. But my simple way of living came crashing down like the heavy materials I was counting on my night shift, crushed me and my simple life, and then landed me in a novel I had read back when I was still a Freshman at university. And to make it all worse, it just happened to be the kind of novel that readers would wish to get into and crack the skull of the various sadistic love interests as well as the stubborn main character who just didn't know when to sit still. Ugh. But what was even worse than that was the fact that I, Jo-Pil, had become the freaking main character. Yeah, you got that right. I was the poor, hopeless Omega whose role in the novel was to be a weak, helpless, yet stubborn guy who was sold for his huge debt, bought by four powerful Alphas in order to become a breeding machine. They might as well make me their baby mama while they were at it, don't you think? But there was no way I was going to live up to that role. Seriously, why resist being showered with the luxury of life and getting hurt when I could just give them a little neck massage, say a few sweet words to compliment them, and then lie on my back with sun shades on and juice in hand, relaxing for the rest of my life? Maybe it's not as easy as it sounds but I could make it work. I was sure I could. With four powerful Alphas ruling the country at my mercy, I could do anything. But... Were they really at my mercy, though? I mean, I was the one whose huge debt got paid off, right? Welp, maybe I was getting a little over my head. What to do?

My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn’t. I needed his help – even if it’s just this once - I’d hoped he helped me. But he didn’t reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn’t true. Even if he doesn’t love me - I’d thought he would at the very least liked me… maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it’s all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me – none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn’t even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I’ve fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. Nevaeh was given a second chance at life. she swore to get her revenge. she has a plan she planned to stick to. let she if she got what she wanted or not. if she did… how?

“Ms. Li Xue, you are pregnant!” said the doctor as she handed the pregnancy report that has clearly come positive.   Li Xue didn’t know how to react to the news. She had come all prepared to take the virginity test and prove to the world that all their accusations were false. She was all sure that of her virginity being intact, then how was her pregnancy even possible?   This is the story of a woman, Li Xue, who has worked hard to build her modelling career. She wasn’t from a rich family where everything came served in a golden plate, but from a middle-class working family, where one has to work really hard to attain their dreams. Her dream was to become the top leading fashion model but it got shattered when she found herself trapped in a scandal.   No one believed her. Neither her friends nor her boyfriend. She was left all alone with the child that was growing inside her. So, she left the city, with the growing life in her womb. With a growing devilic-angel that was giving her strength to survive in this meaningless world, to become something she was still not sure of. ____ P.S. This is an original work, not a translation.

Quote of the main character "With Binding system as my trump card, I will become the strongest man in the world and sit on my throne with beautiful women in my arms." What would you do if you died and God transmigrated you to another world? What would you do if Gods and Goddess watches and comments on your adventures?

Luckily, one of the goddesses gave him a system to help him survive in his new world and achieve his dream. "You awaken the mage class? You awaken the Archer class? You awaken the Knight class?" Xiao Ming behaved normally. "I only need to bind my system to someone and I can awaken that person's class. In other words, I can awaken all three classes." Xiao Ming, the grandson of the Ruler, decides to continue his dream in his new life. Follow him as he embarks on his journey to become the Ruler and bind his system to beautiful women. Warning.....

——— I woke up to fingers running gently through my hair. At first, I thought I was dreaming, until the lullaby began. Low. Melodic. But wrong. It was that same language I'd heard through the walls, the one that makes your stomach twist and your teeth clench. She sat on the edge of my bed, I can’t see her face; it’s swallowed by the dark. But her hand keeps moving, slow and rhythmic, stroking my hair like she’s lulling something else to sleep. Her eyes are half-closed, swaying as she hums that twisted tune. And then I realize— I forgot to turn on my bedroom light before falling asleep. I kept my breathing slow and shallow, pretending to sleep. limbs screaming to move, to run, but something in me knows: Don’t let her know you’re awake. Don’t move. The singing stops. She sniffles. A choked, trembling sob leaks through her lips. She starts crying quietly, like she’s trying not to be heard. Like she’s afraid. “No...” she whispers, her voice cracking like a child’s. “He still dreams like a child… still soft…” I almost convince myself she’s sleep-talking— Until her hand suddenly tangles in my hair and pulls. I flinched and let out a sharp gasp. "Mama—!" She goes still. Her grip loosened… then shifts. Her fingers wrapped tightly around my trembling arms. Her face inches closer. I can smell her breath,..warm, wrong, too close. Her eyes are wide with terror. Her voice shakes as she hisses: “Don’t say anything." "Don’t say a word anymore.” I was too scared to speak. I couldn't even nod. She held me like that for a long, shuddering moment. Her breath was hot and ragged against my cheek. Her hands were too tight, like if she lets go, I’ll vanish. Her eyes darting around the room. Then, like a switch flipping, she goes completely still. "Mom?" I whispered, so softly it barely made a sound. She was at eye level with me. But she wasn't looking at me. She looked past me. Behind me.... No... no. It’s happening AGAIN. . This is not a safe novel. It's a collection of short, self-contained stories, each chapter unraveling a new descent, a different nightmare. Some stories are brief. Others not so. No heroes. No clean endings. Just answers that should have stayed buried. Read alone if you must. But don't say we didn't warn you. Reader Warning: This series contains psychological horror, disturbing imagery, death, and paranormal themes. Reader discretion is advised. Each chapter is a self-contained story, perfect for short, spine-tingling reads.

Tapi Kak Atlas tuh susah banget diajak main! Huh! Makanya, aku, Detektif Zavie, harus nyelidikin kasus yang paling misterius sepanjang masa: Gimana caranya supaya aku bisa main sama Kak Atlas dan bikin dia jadi sayang sama aku?

“Kita cuma sahabat,” katanya. Tapi sejak kapan sahabat tidur di ranjang yang sama—lalu saling menyakiti setelahnya?” Ara dan Seojin tumbuh bersama, terluka bersama, dan belajar bertahan di dunia yang tak pernah benar-benar menerima mereka. Persahabatan mereka adalah tempat paling aman—dan juga perangkap paling berbahaya. Di usia dewasa, mereka hidup berdampingan tapi tak pernah benar-benar saling memiliki.

Ketika hubungan mereka hancur, masa lalu mulai terkuak. Ada luka yang tak pernah sembuh, kenangan yang disembunyikan, dan seorang anak… yang memanggil wanita lain sebagai “Mama”. Apakah cinta yang keliru masih bisa disembuhkan? Atau memang, ada hubungan yang hanya ditakdirkan untuk saling mengingat, bukan untuk dimiliki? Kalau teman seperti ini… apakah kita masih bisa disebut manusia biasa?

Anna's world was crumbling. Her mother's life was fading away, and the medical bills were choking her. In desperation, she made a decision that would cost her a lifetime: a decision to become a baby mama for the wealthy and jerky Adams Winthrop. Adams, the sole heir of the Winthrop Fashion Empire, needed an heir to secure his inheritance. But with his playboy lifestyle and lack of interest in commitment, finding a willing partner seemed impossible. That was until he laid eyes on Anna at the clubhouse. She was in dire need of cash, and he needed a baby. It was a match made of convenience, not love, or so they thought. As the months went by, Anna found herself falling head over heels for the charming and captivating Adams. But could she truly fall for a man who only wanted her for her womb?

Sophia Sterling, the glamorous heiress of the Sterling family—one of New York’s most influential dynasties—has always lived under the spotlight. As a rising actress, she was adored by fans and envied by rivals. But during a lavish poolside gala at her family’s Hamptons estate, a near-fatal accident changes everything. Pushed into the deep end by an unseen hand, Sophia sinks into darkness… only to resurface with a startling revelation. Fragments of another life flood her mind—memories of being the villainess in a novel, relentlessly outshone and humiliated by the story’s golden girl, ​​Isabella Montgomery​​. In that narrative, Sophia’s schemes backfired spectacularly, leading to her downfall and the ruin of the Sterling empire. But now, armed with this knowledge, Sophia refuses to play the antagonist any longer. Declaring her retirement from acting, she returns to the Sterling family’s Manhattan penthouse, embracing a new identity: the cherished ​​"mama’s girl."​​ No longer the conniving socialite, she basks in her mother’s affection, dodges the toxic drama of high society, and quietly dismantles the traps set by her fictional fate. However, escaping destiny isn’t easy. Isabella, the story’s original heroine, remains a force to reckon with—charismatic, beloved, and always one step ahead. Old rivals resurface, media scandals brew, and the Sterling family’s legacy hangs in the balance. Sophia must navigate this treacherous world, using her newfound self-awareness to outmaneuver the plot’s relentless pull. But as she rewrites her story, she discovers a shocking truth: ​​her real-life enemies might be closer than she thinks.​​

In a shattered world where ancient dungeons emit magic energy, powerful warlords vie for dominance, and the air crackles with old curses, Xiaoya Feng walks a treacherous line between destruction and godhood. Orphaned at the age of twelve when mercenaries burned her village, Xiaoya holds on to two legacies from her dying mother: a jade pendant in the form of a crescent moon that reminds her to survive at all costs. . . . Xiaoya (age 15); "Mama, please get up! We have to run!" Her small hands shake as she presses on the wound in her mother's chest, the warm stickiness spreading through her fingers. The earth shakes; Another explosion? Mercenaries? Demons? She didn't look. Li Feng choked her blood. "Listen… Xiao-ya. The strong… they do not triumph. The clever do. You… survive. Promise me." A cough cuts into her words. Blood splatters across Xiaoya's cheeks. Xiaoya Feng Cried. "I-I'll carry you! There's a healer in the next valley—" "No." Li Feng's fingers wrap around Xiaoya's wrist, cold as winter steel. "Take the pendant. Hide it. Let them see you as weak… until you strike back." The jade glimmers in the firelight, its edges razor-sharp enough to draw blood. Xiaoya's tears dry upon contact with the burned earth. Li Feng whispered in a low voice. "Live. Not just… survive. Live. Find joy. Promise—" The hand goes slack as she dies. Far away, a man laughs which was like a deep, greasy sound as footsteps close in on the hut. Xiaoya Feng didn't not moved. She does not breathe. Her mother's eyes look past her, and flames dance in them like wicked spirits. 'Survive.' She threads the pendant's chain around her neck. It burns her skin. 'Live.' A shadow falls in the doorway: a mercenary captain, his armor shining with borrowed trinkets. Xiaoya does not beg or scream. She looks him in the eye and allows her voice to shake, becoming the frightened child she is meant to be. Xiaoya Feng whispered. "P-please… don't hurt me." The captain smiles broadly, sheathing his sword. "Aww, little rabbit. I'll make it qui-" Her fingers wrap around the dagger concealed in her mother's sash. Strike! Present Day (Whispered Memory): Xiaoya touches the pendant at her throat, its edge still sharp. Survive. Live. These orders war within her heart as she gazes into the emptiness of a dungeon, its darkness resonating with promises of power… and destruction. "Ordinary," she says as she readjusted her herb-gatherer's cloak. "Just an ordinary day." The lie burns like ashes. But lies, like daggers, cut the deepest when they go unnoticed. -- P.S - Romance? I don't think I will add this element but if I do then not much... Romance isn't my first priority.
