Fall of a King, Rise of a Villain

‘My enemy, my friend, my love, my pain. He was everything and more to me. My protector and my warden. Most importantly, especially for you, he was my leash.’ ________ Ísar Jovevski, the King of Ogronevia. Praised as a good king, a blessing from the gods, a mighty king. Kind and benevolent king. The greatest King in the kingdom’s history, never mind that his bloody ascension was a bad omen. A man holding a darkness that could consume him as well as everyone around him, if not for his childhood friends. If not for his love for Xinghua Li. Imperial Son Li Xinghua of the Qianlong Empire. A prince, a martial artist, a warrior and Ísar’s childhood friend. The only person in the world that was able to make Ísar nervous and stumble over his words. He loved him. A kind of love where he could not breathe nor exist if the other were not in his life. The kind of love where one’s heart jumped to the throat from a mere smile. The kind of love that turned into a double-edged sword. Where if it were lost—no—broken, the pieces would harm all. And none could’ve avoided the cuts of its shards. _______________ [Excerpt] The shores were stained with thick, black blood. The stench of rotten corpses filled the air as the ocean’s breeze swept over his kneeling form. Ísar stared at the endless void that was the ocean. He barely registered the tears running down his cheeks as he watched the sun rise. The celestial source slowly moved high above his little kingdom and Ísar continued to stare. The screams coming from behind him were muffled background noise. “My King! My King, please! Please spare me!” He didn’t know who that was. The voice was familiar but nothing came to mind. It didn’t matter, in the end. Nothing truly mattered anymore. He squeezed the old and worn out plush toy close to his chest. The fabric was tearing and the little ox toy had never looked uglier. He stared down at it and with a sad smile and teary voice, he said, “You don’t smell like him anymore. Nothing smells like him anymore. Please come back. Please. I miss you, my big star. I miss you.” _________ Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe and Gothic Themes [FKRV is a tragedy fantasy romance with both positive (found family, childhood friends, first loves) and negative themes (loss, grief, loneliness, suicidal ideation, murder). There will also be more mature chapters in the future which I’ll put a R18 warning for. Happy reading!]

C. Auguste Dupin | Novels | By Edgar Allan Poe

C. Auguste Dupin is a detective created by Edgar Allan Poe. He appears in three stories that are often considered the first modern detective stories. Here’s a brief synopsis of each: 1."The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841) Synopsis: The story follows C. Auguste Dupin and his unnamed friend (the narrator) in Paris as they investigate a brutal double murder in the Rue Morgue. The victims, Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter, are found dead in their home under mysterious circumstances, with no apparent motive and with evidence that seems impossible to decipher. The police are baffled, but Dupin uses his analytical skills to piece together the clues. He discovers that the murders were committed by an escaped orangutan, which climbed through an open window, revealing how observation and reasoning can solve even the most perplexing mysteries. 2. "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" (1842) Synopsis:In this sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," Dupin is tasked with solving the real-life-inspired murder of Marie Rogêt, a young woman whose body is found in the Seine River. The story is based on the real-life murder of Mary Cecilia Rogers, a case that was widely publicized at the time. Dupin meticulously analyzes newspaper reports and pieces together a timeline of events and motivations to uncover the truth behind Marie's death. The story showcases Dupin's methodical approach to solving crimes using existing evidence. 3. "The Purloined Letter" (1844) Synopsis: In the final Dupin story, Dupin is asked to recover a stolen letter that is being used to blackmail a member of the royal family. Unlike the previous stories, this case involves a more intellectual and psychological challenge. The letter has been hidden in plain sight by the cunning thief, Minister D—. Dupin's insight into human nature allows him to outsmart the minister and retrieve the letter. This story highlights Dupin's skill in understanding the criminal mind and solving crimes without physical evidence.
