Best Friends Suck

Fleeing to my mom's best friend for help, I never expected Auntie Shan, who watched me grow up since I was little, to harbor such ulterior motives toward me...

What is worst than marrying someone you don’t love? Marrying someone while in love with another one. For Ivy, it wasn’t that of a tragedy. Marrying for love was a risky move. The love could fade away and after, what was left for you? Nothing. Marrying someone because of mutual benefit was the best move to make, at the end, the benefits would remain. At least, that was what she wanted everyone to believe. The truth was, she was madly in love with someone who couldn’t be hers. She watched him fall for someone else, doing all she could to pull them apart. She slowly found herself becoming the villain of their story. In the fear of hurting the man she loves and the possibility of him hating her for life, she left. She let them live their love and concentrate on hers. It never ends well for the villain and she couldn’t waste her life at the pursuit of a chimera. She came back, three years after. A business on her name and the title of the business woman of the year. Her professional life was perfect but her lack of personal life didn’t go unnotice. Sorrounded at every corner by marriage proposal and a mother who won’t stop pestering her, she announced, “The man I want to marry is as wealthy as myself, fifteen years older and with no desire of having children," Her words left everyone shocked. She jokingly said those words in order to chase away the nuisance who only have marriage on their lips but a man came to her office, “When is the wedding?” He had everything she wanted. He entered in all her criterias but why did he want to marry her?

“Do you want to know how this works?” he whispered. “Yes!” I gasped in response to his tug on my hair. “I want to know.” “Yes, what?” he asked, causing my mind to swirl with the realization of what he was into. “Yes, sir.

People are always afraid of what they do not know, wary of what they do not understand. There are those who dare to step out and learn about them, but there is no consensus. The issue of human rights for humanoid anomalies has always been a burning, smoldering issue, not to mention the fact that all government agencies and organizations try to cover up the existence of anomalies. And then, it burst open, like a series of continuous chemical reactions, and World War 3 broke out.

Ares did not enjoy the company of girls and even held a strong aversion towards the LGBTQ+ community. He had promised his mother never to follow in his father Clever's footsteps, especially when it came to the advice his father Stanley gave him about not using condoms, particularly when she was the one. A childhood friend, May, and a family's pop in—a girl who grew up around boys, or rather, her brothers. When these two reconnected and became best friends, nothing seemed to stand in the way of their blossoming love. However, May remained unaware that she was unknowingly romancing her best friend Ares, whom she affectionately called by his pet name. To her, it felt completely normal, just as it had with her brothers. She inadvertently rejected Stanley's attempts to express his feelings for her, not realizing what those feelings truly meant. May's understanding of Ares's feelings began to take shape during a Christmas holiday celebration at his grandparents’ house. Jovial and warm-hearted, May finally discovered the implications of Stanley’s earlier actions when Princessah, Ares's little sister, handed her some of their late mother's novels to read. Ares never imagined he would let another woman into his life after his mother. He was determined that his career would not come between him and his love for May, unlike his grandfather Richard.

A happy family, a loving girlfriend, good friends, and reliable coworkers. I had all of those. Until I fell into a coma. They registered me as brain dead. I wasn't. I heard everything. I heard my girlfriend and parents unable to wait for me to die. Waiting for them to cash out the insurance. I heard people coming in, none of them wanting to be at my side. Only out of obligation or to get pity. Only one person came before they pulled the pug on my life. The friend that supported me all my life. Creeped me out at times but always just so reliable. "I know they killed you. I'm going to kill them all. Everyone that's hurt you. I don't know who killed you so I'll kill them all. I should have locked you up when I had the chance. Why didn't I? I'll follow you after you die. Once everyone else is dead I'll follow you and I'll be a girl next time. I lock you up. You'll never leave me." Although those words creeped me out I realized that meant he was the only one who cared. I vowed in the next life, who cares if he's a little creepy. He actually cares about me. Then I died, and woke up. 7 years in the past. This time I'll avoid the pain. Hey yandere best friend. I don't need anyone else. *Trigger Warning* Violence, Straight up Torture, Stalking

It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late? Warning: the photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!!!
