Obsession Engineering

Reborn: The Duke’s Obsession

Delia's life was a cruel reality: the neglected and abused illegitimate daughter of a noble family, the Ellington family, she yearned for the love of her stepmother, Baroness Augusta, and younger sister, Lady Anne, who relentlessly mistreated her. Her world crumbled when she discovered a double betrayal: her beloved husband, Lord George had secretly pined for Anne, marrying Delia only to be near her sister. Simultaneously, her step mother framed her for a crime Anne committed. Overwhelmed and heartbroken, Delia's attempt to escape a death sentence led to a fatal carriage accident. But death was not the end. Delia awoke one year in the past, finding herself still engaged to George. This was her second chance, and the naive girl was gone, replaced by a woman consumed by a burning desire for revenge. Her first target: Duke Eric Carson, the powerful and wealthy man her sister Anne desperately pursued. Delia boldly approached Eric with a proposition for a contract marriage. To her surprise, Eric agreed, but with a condition: their fake marriage would become real and they can go their separate way after a year, hiding his own secret agenda. Now, armed with Eric's unexpected devotion and his willingness to lay down his life for her, Delia meticulously begins to dismantle her family's world. With Eric's help, she exposes the secrets they hide, manipulates their desires, and turns them against each other, orchestrating George’s demotion, Anne's downfall and seizing everything her sister coveted, including Duke Eric love and obsession. Will Delia and Eric be able to conquer all odds to get what they want? What happens when Eric doesn’t want their contract marriage to end? What happens when the last petal that indicates her second chance falls? ——————— EXCPRET “I can’t return your feelings, your grace,” Delia whispered, her back against the cool wall. “But I can,” Eric murmured, stepping closer. Delia’s voice trembled. “It’s not the same.” She choked out. “ No one can love me without hurting me.” “Then teach me,” he said, his breath warm on her cheek. “Teach me how to love you the way you deserve to be loved. I’m a quick study.” When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips. “It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.” His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. "As long as it's from you, I'm happy."

Signo:The Unblessed Engine

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood, and some anomalies have abilities that are completely astray from basic principles. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

The Emperor's obsession

(Matured Content-No rape) “She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king.” In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne — and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her — veiled in gold, eyes full of light — he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn’t ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn’t break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom— or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance — with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel. Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win. #bookone of The Empire of Thorns series --- Excerpt. A man stood before her. Not just any man. The man. Eyes like twin flames. Lips curled into a knowing smirk. A voice like thunder dipped in velvet. "And who might you be, little dove?" Zareth purred. Serenya's heart slammed against her ribs. "I-I'm... I was just—" "Lost?" he finished for her, his tone mocking yet oddly amused. She nodded, clutching her veil tighter. His eyes trailed down the curve of her figure, and then back to her eyes. "You're not from around here," he said, though he already knew. "I'm from Vayrana," she managed, voice barely above a whisper. His grin widened. "That explains the veil. So well-behaved. So sweet." He stepped closer, and she instinctively backed up—until her back hit the wall. "Running off alone into a palace full of monsters... either you're braver than you look, or dumber," he drawled, eyes gleaming. Her eyes widened at the insult, but something in his tone kept her frozen. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful—" "Oh, but you weren't," he interrupted. "In fact, you've just made this entire evening… interesting." He reached out, adjusting the edge of her veil with a gentleness that contradicted his deadly aura. "What's your name, dove?" She hesitated. "Your name," he repeated, voice darker now. "I don't ask twice." "Serenya," she whispered. He leaned in, mouth brushing close to her ear. "Serenya," he repeated, tasting it. "Pretty name. Suits you." Then, as quickly as he came, he stepped back. The moment shattered. "Go on now, little dove. Before your father comes searching."
