Excerpt: Drogen's expression softened as he stared down at her lips, a rare glimpse of raw desire shining in his eyes. "You know," he began, his voice dropping to a whisper, "I've been desperately wanting to do this since you hugged me." Before she could protest, his lips claimed hers, soft but insistent, catching her completely off guard. Her breath hitched as his tongue teased hers, coaxing a response. She froze for a moment, her heart racing wildly, but as his warmth enveloped her, she gave in, kissing him back. Her hesitation melted away as his touch deepened, slow and gentle, yet ignited sparks through her whole being. His hands found her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them. She gasped softly when she felt his bulge pressed hard against her, her cheeks heating in response. He didn't seem to care—if anything, it turned him on even more. His grip tightened as though he couldn't get enough of her, his kisses growing bolder, more demanding, yet still carrying an undeniable tenderness. Her fingers gripped his shirt for balance, holding on as the intensity of his touch left her breathless. He kissed her like he was savoring her, like every second mattered, and it sent a thrill through her. Every brush of his lips, every press of his body against hers, made her forget where she was. All she could feel was him. Finally, he pulled back, their foreheads resting together as they tried to catch their breath. His voice was low and rough, full of longing. "You're driving me crazy, Nat." Her lips were still tingling from his kisses as she met his gaze, her own voice trembling but steady. "Then don't stop." His dark eyes blazed with desire, and a faint smile touched his lips. "You don't know what you're asking for," he murmured, his hand slipping lower, his touch firm yet careful, as if she might disappear if he wasn't careful. "Maybe I do," she whispered, a small smile playing on her lips despite the way her heart pounded in her chest. Something in his expression softened, but the hunger in his eyes remained. She had undone him completely, and for once, he didn't want to fight it. Whatever this was, he wasn't letting go, and neither was she.

In a grand room shrouded in gloom, the dim light of an oil lamp cast faint glimmers on the black marble floor. The ornate decor created an eerie atmosphere, with shadows dancing in every corner. At the center of the room, a young man sat leisurely in a large chair. He wore a black suit paired with a white shirt, a neatly tied long tie, and matching black trousers. His black hooded cloak seemed to blend with the darkness, as if swallowing him into the mystery. His face was covered with pale white makeup like a mask, with simple lines beneath his eyes that emphasized an ominous impression. Red paint formed a faint smile on his lips and adorned his eyes, creating an unnatural contrast, evoking a disturbing yet captivating aura. This figure was known as Mr. Fool, a mysterious man whose name was feared by criminals and nobles alike in the city of Landlum. In front of him stood a young woman named Audrey, exuding elegance. She wore a high-cut noble gown adorned with lace and diamonds, radiating luxury without excess. Her intelligent and confident gaze matched the oppressive aura of the man before her, while her bright smile added a touch of warmth to the room. Their conversation was an exchange of information laced with tension. Audrey, though appearing friendly, carried the cunning of a skilled political player. With respect yet confidence, she requested Mr. Fool’s assistance in obtaining information about a nobleman named Lord Althric. In return, she offered a secret that might pique the man’s interest. Silence hung in the air as Mr. Fool listened to Audrey's offer. Beneath his eerie makeup, a faint smile formed. The man, with a calm and cold demeanor, stated that the price for any information he provided was always equal to its value. Audrey responded with nothing but a smile, unfazed even in the presence of someone so enigmatic. Their meeting was the beginning of a dangerous game, where every word spoken carried unseen risks. Beneath the polite exchange of words, they measured each other's strength, fully aware that in this world, information was the deadliest weapon.

Bullied, betrayed, and eventually killed by his peers, he died a powerless man, haunted by his inability to fight back. Now reborn in a new world as the youngest member of the prestigious Kurogami Clan, Ryuujin is determined to rewrite his destiny. But life in the clan is harsh, and his inability to grasp their martial techniques leaves him an outcast, ridiculed and humiliated by his own blood.

The world is rife with challenges: dangerous beasts, rival clans, and mysterious villains with tragic pasts.

Through relentless battles, emotional confrontations, and complex alliances, Ryuujin rises to become a warrior feared and respected across the land. But as secrets of his rebirth and the origins of his powers come to light, Ryuujin must face the ultimate question: Is strength alone enough to protect what matters most?

Kat grumbled a little before reluctantly quieting down, allowing Lucian speak. He continued, his eyes locking onto hers. "The second thing the mark does is tie your fate to the Kelpie's. I injured it badly. stabbed it in the back and it's neck. If it dies because of those wounds, you will die too." She felt a cold shock wash over her. "What? That's insane! Why would I die if it dies?" "The mark it put on you," Lucian explained, his hands never stopping their motion with the pen. "As the Kelpie suffers, so will you. It's dying now, and if it succumbs to its injuries, you'll follow soon after." "Wow, Katherine, way to go. You really outdid yourself," Kat muttered to herself, taking a deep breath. "Seeing a wet horse despite the dry weather wasn't enough for you to think something was wrong." "You saw it wet?" Lucian asked, his eyebrows frowning slightly. "Huh?... Yeah, is something wrong with that?" Kat asked, wondering why the horse being wet was more important to him at the moment than her dying. Lucian didn't say anything but just stared at the girl in front of him. 'There is something more to her, I just can't tell what it is' he thought. To further confirm his suspicion, he moved closer to Kat, closing the distance between them. He reached for the shoulder of her dress and pulled it down. The sudden action startled Kat. She exclaimed, "What do you think you are doing, pervert? Get away from me!" She tried hitting him, but she barely had the strength to sit up, let alone push him away. Lucain paused, staring at her bare shoulder. Kat followed his gaze and gasped. "What is that?" she asked, her voice trembling. On her shoulder was a strange mark, like a tattoo of a hoof print with foreign writing within it. Lucain hummed thoughtfully, his expression still impassive. 'As I thought, she shouldn't be able to see it, but she can. That's unusual for a human.' Kat frantically tried to wipe the mark off. "Why won't it come off?" "That's the Kelpie's mark," He pointed out, his tone remained indifferent. Panic surged through Kat. She hadn't just narrowly escaped death; it was now chasing her, bound to her by an invisible tether. "Is there any way to break the bond...mark whatever it is? I don't want to die," she asked desperately, her eyes searching Lucian's for any sign of hope. Lucian's expression stayed the same. "I don't intend to let you die so soon," he said. "We can replace the Kelpie's bond with another bond." Kat clung to this glimmer of hope. "How do we do that?" she asked, leaning forward, eager for a solution. "It requires a new bond, a stronger one that can override the Kelpie's," Lucian explained, his demeanor calm and composed. Before she could ask what he meant, Lucian reached out and gently pecked her on the forehead. Kat froze, completely caught off guard by the unexpected action. The brief contact sent a jolt through her, and she barely had time to react before he pulled her into a gentle embrace, careful not to hurt her already pained body. Her mind raced, trying to process the sudden shift from their conversation to this intimate moment. The warmth of his embrace contrasted sharply with the cold fear that had gripped her moments before. She caught the scent of rosewood and felt his firm body against hers, making her heart skip a beat. "What are you doing?" she whispered, her voice shaky. Kat's heart pounded in her chest. She felt Lucian's face bury itself in the crook of her neck, his breath warm against her skin. His grip on her waist tightened slightly. She winced as she felt a sharp pain. Lucian's fangs sank into her neck, causing her to gasp and grip his shoulder, her fingers digging into his shoulder.... **** disclaimer: cover not mine.

He’s not just after my submission; he wants to unmask my soul, rip out my heart, and claim it as his own. Now, I’m caught between my stepbrothers, who know my darkest secrets, and a wicked prince whose dark desires should terrify me, but don’t. It’s a sick, twisted tale of love and possession, but one question remains: who’ll own me when the clock strikes 12?

In the mystical realm of Enchantia, where magic reigns supreme, the prestigious Witcher Academy stands as a beacon of power and knowledge. Every year, young witches and warlocks from across kingdoms gather to master their craft, compete for honor, and vie for a chance to serve as elite sorcerers in royal courts. Among this year’s intake are three very different students: Asmodeus, a simple boy thrust into a world of sorcery he barely understands; Belial, a determined young witch with fiery ambition and a chip on her shoulder; and Madara Uchiha, a prodigy with a dark past and unmatched potential. Together, they navigate the trials and rivalries of the academy, forging unlikely bonds in the face of constant challenges. But lurking in the shadows is Lucifer, the academy’s most feared and powerful student. Refusing to graduate, he dominates the Witcher Academy with an iron grip, toying with students and staff alike in a never-ending display of his dark supremacy. Asmodeus and his friends are drawn into Lucifer’s web, forced to confront their fears, test their limits, and uncover the secrets that tie Lucifer to the academy’s darkest truths. As the annual Witch Ball Game approaches—a deadly competition that determines the academy’s elite—Asmodeus, Belial, and Madara must rise above their weaknesses, prove their worth, and challenge the power that Lucifer holds. But the question looms: will they survive his wrath, or will they become pawns in a game far beyond their understanding? With high-stakes magic, shadowy alliances, and the constant threat of betrayal, Shadows of Enchantia is a tale of ambition, resilience, and the fight to carve one’s destiny in a world ruled by power.

ONGOING | BOOK COVER ILLUSTRATED BY CHADLER EJERCITO CASTILLO *** First Master Ruyin, who had lost his wife years earlier, formed an alliance with the newly widowed Nightfall Empress Dowager, Xuwen, at the request of his older brother, the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire. This union was a strategic move to protect her son, the newly ascended Nightfall Emperor, from trials and doubts cast by rival clans within the Nightfall Empire regarding his early ascension to the throne. Xichen, the young Nightfall Emperor, did not oppose this arrangement. In fact, he recognized that this alliance would be advantageous to both sides. The tie not only secured peace between the Heavenly Empire and the Nightfall Empire citizens but also sealed a treaty preventing either side-who had long been embroiled in endless conflict-from eventually engaging in war. Once the alliance was sealed, First Master Ruyin and his only son, Young Master Ruan, decided to establish their residence within the Nightfall Empire. Ruan, though known throughout the courts as a spoiled and mischievous teenager, was, in truth, an exceptional prodigy. His raw power grew each day, even without any effort, making his Heavenly Emperor uncle shower him with praise, which further fueled the envy of those around him. Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, except for the once peaceful harem of the Nightfall Emperor, which became a hotbed of discord as his concubines began vying for his attention. What no one realized, however, was that the entire situation was an orchestrated scheme devised by Ruan himself. With his sharp wit and cunning mind, he was making sure that the Nightfall Emperor was entirely wrapped around his fingers.
