Acrid Plush

The East+[Shelter + Management + Apocalypse Rotation + Steady Male Protagonist] The apocalypse game has descended upon humanity, throwing the world into chaos. People are randomly assigned shelters across the globe, and every month, apocalyptic disasters rotate like clockwork: searing heat, unrelenting cold, meteor showers, mutant plants, and rampaging monsters. Survival hinges on venturing out to scavenge resources, battling the elements, and upgrading shelters to withstand an onslaught of catastrophes. Yi Bai is just another player in this brutal game—or so it seems. But soon, he discovers that his shelter talent is unlike any other. [Homebody’s Paradise (SSS-Class)]: For every day spent in his shelter, Yi Bai receives critical survival rewards tailored to his needs. The higher his shelter level, the better the rewards. “A top-tier talent! I can get stronger just by staying at home?” While others are fighting tooth and nail outside their shelters—battling monsters, scouring for food, and struggling to survive—Yi Bai is quietly turning his shelter into the ultimate fortress. Resources, weapons, food, and equipment pour in effortlessly. His Sealy bed? Supreme comfort. The S-Class combat beauty awarded to him? Lounging by his side. Apocalypse resources? Stacked so high he can’t even spend them all. With nothing more than patience and a talent for staying put, Yi Bai becomes an unstoppable force. “You call this the apocalypse?” He chuckles, sinking deeper into his plush bed. “This is paradise for homebodies!”

The moonlight filtered through the large windows of Li Qiang's penthouse, casting a silvery glow over the room. The city lights twinkled in the distance, a stark contrast to the dark world they both inhabited. Xin Yi stood by the window, her silhouette framed by the night sky, lost in thought. Li Qiang entered the room quietly, his presence commanding yet gentle. He approached her, his footsteps barely making a sound on the plush carpet. "Xin Yi," he called softly, his voice a deep, soothing rumble. She turned to face him, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and vulnerability. "Yes, Mr. Gou?" she replied, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. He stepped closer, his gaze intense and unwavering. "You don't have to call me that when we're alone," he said, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Call me Li Qiang." Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat. She had seen him in his most ruthless moments, but this side of him was different—softer, almost tender. "Li Qiang," she repeated, the name feeling foreign yet familiar on her tongue. He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. His touch was surprisingly gentle, sending a shiver down her spine. "You've been through so much," he murmured, his eyes searching hers. "I see the strength in you, but I also see the pain." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she blinked them away, refusing to let them fall. "I have a mission," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't afford to be weak." Li Qiang cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the tears that escaped. "Strength isn't about never breaking," he said softly. "It's about finding the courage to keep going, even when you're broken." For a moment, the world outside ceased to exist. It was just the two of them, standing on the precipice of something neither could fully understand. Xin Yi felt a warmth spread through her, a feeling she hadn't allowed herself to experience in a long time. Li Qiang leaned in, his breath warm against her skin. "Let me be your strength," he whispered, his lips inches from hers. "Let me help you carry the weight." Xin Yi closed her eyes, her resolve wavering. She had come here for revenge, but in this moment, all she wanted was to lose herself in his embrace. She felt his lips brush against hers, a tentative, gentle kiss that spoke of promises and unspoken desires. She kissed him back, her hands finding their way to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. It was a kiss filled with longing and desperation, a silent plea for solace in a world filled with chaos. When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless, their foreheads resting against each other. "This changes nothing," Xin Yi said, her voice trembling. "I still have a mission." Li Qiang nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. "I know," he replied. "But maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to navigate this together." As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the lines between love and duty blurred, leaving them both wondering what the future held. Jang Xin Yi's world shattered the night her parents were brutally murdered. Consumed by vengeance, she infiltrates a ruthless mafia organization, posing as a bodyguard. Her mission: gather evidence and dismantle the syndicate from within. But her resolve wavers when she meets Li Qiang, the enigmatic and feared underboss. As she navigates this perilous world, Xin Yi is confronted with horrors that test her every step—the nauseating stench of death, gruesome torture chambers, and the brutal reality of Li Qiang’s actions. Despite the terror, Xin Yi remains determined to see her mission through. Will her thirst for revenge triumph, or will love and danger alter her path forever? Li Qiang commands respect through sheer terror. But when he hires a fearless martial artist who speaks her mind, his curiosity is piqued. Soon, he discovers the truth—his new bodyguard is a woman in disguise.

Are you nervous?" he asks, breaking the silence that has settled between us. I shook my head, trying to push aside the anxious thoughts that are swirling in my head. This is what I wanted, isn't it? To give into the passion that's been building between us? But as we step into the luxurious hotel room, I can't help but feel out of place. The plush bedding, the high-end amenities, everything screams wealth and privilege. And here I am, a struggling waitress who can barely make ends meet. But Syd doesn't seem to notice my discomfort. He pulls me into his arms, his lips finding mine with an intensity that takes my breath away. His hands roam over my body, igniting a fire within me that I never knew existed. I moan against his lips, lost in the moment. Every touch, every kiss, feels like a rebellion against the world that tries to keep us apart. For once, I feel like I have control over my life, over my desires. As we move together in a rhythm that's as old as time, I know that this moment won't last forever. But for now, I'm content to lose myself in the passion and intensity that Syd brings out in me. In that moment, nothing else matters. Not the contract that brought us together, not the obstacles that stand in our way. All that matters is the way he makes me feel, the way he holds me close as if nothing else exists in the world.

Gabrielle Lockwood's aspiration for a quiet life with her test tubes and vials takes a turn for the worse when she becomes the target of a group of werewolves due to her research. So, when the handsome Sebastian offers to protect her, Gabby finds it hard to turn him down. However, Sebastian is more than his chiseled form; he is part of an Elite Group of Lycans that will do everything to protect the secrets of Aetheria. Sebastian Devereux is determined to prove to his father that he can lead the Night Riders, a group of Lycans whose existence is considered a legend. So when his father asks him to seduce a mere human, Sebastian agrees without hesitation. Except the woman comes in the form of a small, sarcastic scientist who likes to question everything. A small package of a human being who seems more interested in dissecting him than falling for his charms! What starts as a straightforward assignment becomes a complex dance as Gabrielle's inquisitive nature delves into Sebastian's world. It's all fun and games until a predator starts hunting Gabrielle. Now Sebastian must make a choice: continue his mission and become the leader of Night Riders or protect her with all his heart and soul. ....... Excerpt "I can hear your heartbeat, Gabby," he uttered, his voice deep and husky. Gabby immediately frowned, unimpressed. "What are you insinuating, Mr. Devereux?" she steadied her voice, trying her best not to show the desire that sent shivers down her spine. The thought of him pinning her against the wall almost made her spiral, but she knew this would not end well—for both of them. Instead of giving her an answer, he took a step towards her. "I knew you wanted me, just as I wanted you," he said. Gabby pursed her lips as she tried to take in the small distance between them. She lifted her gaze and stared at his silver-gray eyes. "You must be losing your mind, Mr. Devereux. Being confident is one thing; being arrogant is laughable. Not everyone wearing a skirt likes to spend time in your bed." Some of them wanted to see how fast his wounds heals, she thought as she convinced herself that she was here to study... him. He chuckled, amusement flashing in his eyes. "One, you are not wearing a skirt. Two, I do not want you to spend time in my bed." His gaze darkened as he took another step towards her. "I want you here, right now, in the middle of my office—on my table, on that plush couch, the shower, and against the wall. The bed is for resting, Gabby and trust me, I want to do a lot of things with you, and not one of them involves resting in my bed."

You must not fail." Hearing these words, seeing this world, and living this life. None of it was what Eric expected when he laid down on his plush futon the night before. Can he handle the changes and push through? Or will he break and fail, dooming everyone and everything?

‘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!]

I knew I shouldn’t carry things downstairs, but I was trying to clean quickly because we had company coming later that day. I was rushing while wearing my fuzzy socks and slipped on the carpeted stairs. I had fallen before, but not from this high up. I was dreading the bumpy landing with our TV and speakers at the bottom to break my fall, not to mention the glass coffee table. I was expecting to be heavily injured and just prayed I didn’t die. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fall, but was surprised to land on dew covered grass instead. I opened my eyes and took in the plush forest around me. ‘I knew that fall would kill me one of these days!’ I thought to myself. I remember arguing with David, my husband about playing the speakers and TV at the base of the stairs for that exact reason, but our small living room didn’t have much space to put it after the giant L shaped couch took up half of the living room. Shocked, I was thinking, ‘ So this is not what I expected Heaven to look like!, Where are the clouds and pearly gates? Where are the angels? Maybe I just hit my head and am unconscious and this is all a dream?’ Looking around at the tallest trees I had ever seen, I decided this had to be a dream. I was brought back to focus when I heard wolves nearby! I got up and started to run away looking for a tree I might climb up. I was always good in gymnastics despite being overweight. My husband and I had recently started going on morning walks and exercising, but I hated running. Nothing is more motivating than a pack of hungry wolves chasing you. “This is not the way I wanted to die!” I yelled to no one in particular. I found a tree with a low enough branch for me to parkour my way up. The wolves circled the tree and were jumping almost high enough to get me. I tried to climb higher, but heard the branch start to creak. “Ahh, someone help me!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when one of the wolves almost got my foot. * This is a fan fiction based off of 'Beauty and the Beasts' by White-Headed Dream.

Synopsis: In the sprawling metropolis of Xīyù City, where ancient traditions collide with modern ambitions, a clandestine empire emerges from the shadows, weaving a complex tapestry of crime, power, and family. At the heart of this enigmatic underworld is the illustrious Liang Clan, a Chinese triad with a penchant for secrecy and an insatiable appetite for control. As the Liang family navigates the delicate balance between honor and ruthlessness, they find themselves entangled in a web of alliances and betrayals that span continents. The patriarch, Liang Wei, a shrewd and charismatic leader, is faced with the challenge of preserving tradition while adapting to the ever-changing landscape of global crime. At the crossroads of cultures, the Liang family forms strategic alliances with South American cartels, creating a formidable alliance that shakes the foundations of both hemispheres. The intoxicating allure of power, wealth, and influence draws in unlikely players, including an ambitious American detective, Emily Rodriguez, determined to dismantle the empire from within. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, Silk and Shadows explores the intricate dance between crime and honor, family and betrayal. Amidst the neon-lit skylines of Xīyù City, the lush jungles of South America, and the gritty streets of American cities, the Liang family's story unfolds—a tale of legacy, vengeance, and the high stakes of living in the shadows. Prepare to be immersed in a world where the scent of incense mingles with the acrid tang of gunpowder, and where the line between righteousness and sin becomes as blurred as the fine silk threads woven by the Liang family. In Silk and Shadows, the struggle for power transcends borders, leaving a trail of broken alliances, shattered loyalties, and a legacy that will echo through generations.

n the desolate expanse of Xyloth-9, where the air hung heavy with the acrid scent of alien flora, a tremor resonated through the barren landscape. The ground cracked, revealing ancient fissures that whispered of eons-long slumber disturbed. Beneath the violet skies, a creature emerged from the depths of oblivion, his form small and unassuming against the cosmic backdrop. The creature's tentacled appendages unfurled as it rose from the fractured ground. Its ever-shifting exoskeleton emitted an otherworldly glow, reflecting the alien light of Xyloth-9. Its three eyes, orbs of cosmic malevolence, gleamed with an unholy awareness as it scoured its surroundings. With a deliberate and almost curious motion, the creature extended its tentacles, feeling the strange energies that permeated the desolation. The twisted flora that clung to the fractured ground seemed to recoil at its touch, as if disturbed by the malevolence that now walked among them. The creature moved through the desolate landscape, its tentacles brushing against the twisted foliage, and its exoskeleton pulsating with an ominous energy. It reached out to the fractured ground, feeling the ancient scars that marred the surface of Xyloth-9. The tremors beneath its appendages spoke of a planet that bore witness to untold upheaval. As the creature traversed the barren expanse, it encountered peculiar objects scattered across the desolation. Alien remnants of civilizations long forgotten

From the three household heads to the eight children of the house, there seems to be secrets that line their pasts, and many want to know their story. A small smirk was visible on those plush rose lips, the sharp gaze of the young man pierces through one's soul as he leans forward slightly in a mockery of a bow. "Wouldn't you like to know?" a velvety voice rang out in a mirthful tune, "Should I show you?" Huffing out a short laugh, the silver haired boy leaned back to dance away to the front doors. "Welcome to the Morningstar Household. However, please watch your step," an amused glint shines through his shadowed eyes as he covers the growing grin on his face with a gloved hand. "We wouldn't want to topple the house of cards, now would we?"

In The Cosmic Divide, you’re stepping into a galaxy carved up by ruthless corporations who call all the shots. Seraphim, Dominion, Sodom, and Eden—each a juggernaut with their claws in every part of life that matters. There’s no government for the people here, just a hollow shell that keeps the powerful in power and the weak in line. If you’re rich, you live out on the galaxy’s edge, in plush sectors with weak gravity abundant resources, hidden behind private armies and gated communities. But if you’re like most, you’re stuck in the brutal core, where your life and labor are nothing more than fuel for corporate profit. Out here, freedom’s not a right—it’s a luxury bought with credits most can only dream of. And those who fight back? Rebels, pirates, outlaws clinging to their own code of survival. They’re not heroes, but they’re free, living by their own rules in the cracks and shadows where corporate reach doesn’t extend. In a galaxy where every inch is claimed by corporate greed, they’re the last ones willing to fight for more than survival, even if it means risking everything.

"You will get what ever makes you happy, for you are mine, my love. My love for you will never waver." †††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††† 'Wait a moment, what am I doing here?' Le Quing thought to herself. In front of her was the most beautiful, good looking man she ever saw on Earth. His jet black hair and slightly pale skin color to his extremely sexy lips, this was the man anyone would want. He had no shirt on, showing off all trace's of muscles on his upper body. There was not a trace of fat on his body. The bed sheets covered the rest of his body, luckily enough for Le Quing. 'This man is simply too stunning to even look at.' Le Quing thought. While she was thinking this, Yang Chang was observing her. With soft brown hair to go with her perfectly toned skin, she was every man's dream. She had perfect plush lips with bite marks on them. There was bruising on her bottom lip, bit that only made Yang Chang want to kiss her more. 'What a cutie she is.' "Wait a minute, what happened last night, Yang Chang?" Le Quing inquired. " No, we didn't.... We did, didn't we?" "Yep, we sure did. I wouldn't mind if we did it again. After all, you aren't that bad." Yang Chang replied with a smirk plastered on his picture perfect face. 'What a hypocrite of a man!! I can't believe that he has such a dirty mind!! Bi*ch!!' Le Quing screamed in her mind. "I hate you. You know what? Your the complete worse." Le Quing said as she got out of bed. "Cover your self with something!! Don't you know how sexy you look right now?" Yang Chang suddenly said. A slight gasp gave way as he herd what he said. "To late. You already saw it all." Le Quing retorted. With that, Yang Chang stood up and walked over to Le Quing. "You like what you see. Don't worry, I'm best in the shower. A little exercising won't hurt, am I right?" Yang Chang replied. "You have such a dirty mind." Le Quing retorted. As she said that, she was wrapped with a hug. She suddenly felt something on her stomach, and when she looked up, she was met with a pair of soft, thin, sexy lips. She knew what was sticking into her flat stomach. A slight blush covered her face. She was walked onto the shower with Yang Chang still glued to her. 'How despicable.'
