Popular girl Ari Cho is absolutely charming, leaving Yumi Kim, the school nerd, so gay to function normally. ** FOREWORD: Like any other day, I sat back and watched Ari hold court in the far corner of the school cafeteria. She was surrounded by her usual swarm of admirers, each one trying—and failing—to win her over. One by one, they crumbled under the weight of her gentle rejections, their faces painted with the sting of unrequited affection. Oh, what a marvellous sight to behold. The scene took a dramatic turn when two of the boys started arguing, throwing out accusations about who was making Ari more uncomfortable. The irony was almost too good—they were both so oblivious to the fact that their entire presence was likely making her want to bolt out the door. I took another bite of my sandwich, savouring the free entertainment. Poor Ari, trapped in the middle of a gaggle of hormonal teenagers who genuinely believed their cringe-worthy displays of “manliness” would sweep her off her feet. Pathetic. You might be wondering why I’m not stepping in to rescue Ari from that circus of admirers. Well, let me give you three solid reasons why meddling is a terrible idea for me. First, I’m no Superman—I don’t do heroic deeds. Second, I’m far too comfortable living my drama-free life to jeopardise it now. And third, let’s be real, my body is definitely not built for a catfight. As I happily munched on my sandwich, enjoying the chaos from a safe distance, I made a grave error, I locked eyes with Ari. Oh, crap. Picture this: while the two idiotic boys were still mid-argument, Ari—with a slightly shy smile—started walking towards my direction, her tray of food balanced in her hands. No, no, no. God, please tell me she’s not actually coming to talk to m— “Hi, Yumi!” she said casually, her smile so bright it could power a small city. ** OTHER STORIES: Miss Not So Typical (on going)

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

Amelia no siempre fue Amelia. En una vida pasada, fue un joven que se dejó llevar por la apatía y la indiferencia, grabando en silencio una atrocidad sin intervenir. Por ello, una organización secreta decidió aplicar un castigo tan severo como simbólico: transformar a los culpables en lo que más despreciaban. Convertido en mujer a través de un oscuro ritual, Amelia se ve atrapada en un cuerpo que nunca pidió y en una mente asediada por nuevos impulsos y emociones inducidos por un antiguo y perverso poder. Vendida a Jason, un CEO tan poderoso como enigmático, Amelia se enfrenta a una contradicción emocional desgarradora. Las nuevas sensaciones y deseos implantados por el ritual la empujan a enamorarse de su dueño, pero su memoria guarda los ecos de quien fue, y la constante lucha interna amenaza con consumirla.

E se você pudesse realizar seu maior desejo... mas a um preço? Você está disposto a deixar tudo para trás por apenas um sonho? Sua vida, suas memórias, quem que você conhece, tudo isso... por algo que só existe quando fecha os olhos? O Sonhar é um lugar onde desejos ganham forma, mas há perigos que rondam aqueles que se sonham demais. Você já se perguntou o que acontece quando os sonhos despertam e ganham vida? O mundo cobra seu preço. Com a mão estendida contra o vidro, a Mão Invisível te encara: até onde você consegue ir sem olhar para trás? Você pode ter aquilo que mais deseja... mas será que é capaz de lidar com o peso que os sonhos carregam? E quando os ecos do Sonhar começam a sussurrar no silêncio no seu ouvido, será que você encontrará o caminho de volta... ou se perderá entre aquilo que é e aquilo que poderia ter sido?

— Les doy la bienvenida, estudiantes de esta academia, a la ceremonia de ingreso. El eco de su voz retumba por todo el auditorio y se escucha claramente lo que dice. ¿Será este el uso de la "magia"? — Hoy marcamos el inicio de sus caminos. Frente a ustedes están las puertas que conducen a un mundo sorprendente. Esta academia tiene un legado escrito con la sangre de aquellos guerreros que forjaron su espada con el fuego de los dragones que mataron. Muchos de ustedes conocen las historias: historias de héroes que mataban a esas criaturas que surcan los cielos y caminan sobre la tierra, historias de cómo defendieron territorios para que aquellos que habitaban esas tierras pudieran ver un mañana. Pero lo que no se les ha dicho es que aquí, en este recinto, ustedes, cadetes, serán moldeados, entrenados, estudiarán y aprenderán todo lo necesario para derrotar a un dragón. Tal vez algunos pocos forjarán un nombre para así iniciar su propio legado. — El verdadero poder no proviene de las bestias que domarán. El poder que necesitan es el de la voluntad: la voluntad de seguir adelante, sin importar las adversidades que enfrenten, sin importar qué tan desolador parezca el panorama. Algunos de ustedes no llegarán al final. Este camino no es para los débiles. Enfrentarán sus miedos, caerán ante sus debilidades y sucumbirán ante la oscuridad. Pero si perseveran, si permiten que el fuego de su voluntad arda en sus corazones, saldrán de aquí no como simples guerreros, sino como ¡guardianes y auténticos Arcanos! — Recuerden, no están aquí por azar. Cada uno de ustedes ha sido bendecido y ha logrado despertar y manifestar los poderes de un dragón. — Así que, cadetes, ¿están listos para emprender este viaje? ¿Están preparados para ser forjados por el fuego de Ares? Solo el tiempo lo dirá. Que la llama de Ares los proteja e ilumine durante su camino. Sean bienvenidos a la academia de cadetes, ¡Tracia! Dicho esto, las grandes puertas del auditorio se abren, y una ráfaga de viento entra. Luego, las luces se encienden, iluminando todo el auditorio. Todos se levantan, incluida Seraphine. Sin saber por qué, yo confundido también me levanto. — ¡Kalzar! —gritan todos al unísono.

Neste livro, enfrento a ânsia de compreensão e busco revelar o inexprimível. Através das páginas, desvendo minha relação complexa com o mundo, minhas incertezas, meus sonhos, e a incessante tentativa de capturar o não-dito. Cada palavra, verso ou narrativa é um eco do meu anseio por compreender a beleza e a brutalidade da vida. Sou um ecoante da alma humana, na tentativa poética de dar sentido ao que às vezes parece desprovido de sentido. Entre linhas entrelaçadas, delineio minha busca pela transcendência, mesclando visões realistas e sonhos fugazes, construindo um universo onde as nuances da vida se entrelaçam com as contradições do ser. 'Tentativas Ansiosas de um Não Lírico' é um convite para uma viagem pela turbulência de um coração inquieto e por um mundo onde as palavras são mais que meras expressões, são tentativas apaixonadas de dar voz ao que não pode ser contido.

El coche fúnebre se deslizó con sigilo hasta la puerta, un olor inusual y penetrante se filtró en el aire, envolviendo el lugar en un aura de horror y misterio. El inconfundible sonido de piedras rebotando resonaban de manera inquietante en el techo, como si el mismo edificio estuviera susurrando secretos ocultos. Pasos siniestros retumbaban en el pasillo, un eco fantasmagórico que se mezclaba con el murmullo de una sierra proveniente de la habitación contigua, como un eco de eventos pasados que se resistían a ser olvidados. El pomo de la puerta del dormitorio temblaba sutilmente, como si alguien o algo intentará entrar sin ser visto, y el persistente goteo del grifo del baño agregaba una nota discordante en el ambiente, a pesar de que se sabía que estaba cerrado con firmeza. Debajo de la cama, una pelota de goma se movía de manera inexplicable, siguiendo una danza propia, ajena a las leyes de la física. El suelo empezó a revelar huellas húmedas, como marcas de un pasado que emergía de las sombras. A las 3:00 AM, Ricardo, con los nervios crispados y escalofríos en el cuerpo, se ocultó junto al calentador, aferrando un cuchillo que relucía en la tenue luz. Finalmente, la llamada que intentaba realizar fue respondida: 'Arrendador, ¿esto es a lo que querías decir con "la casa puede estar un poco concurrida por la noche"?'

"WHAT WAIT NO! Ok ok ok we can talk about this Mason..." she tried to negotiate as she hid in a hole covering her head with a simple block of cobblestone. "Why did you have to threaten Paul like that?" (the pandas name was decided then and there unfortunately for 'Paul') "I was just making sure youd hide instead of trying to fight. you know you suck at pvp" the voice teased over the headset making her face red... not in embarrassment but anger. this girl was quite competitive so almost instantly she broke the cobblestone and using basic skills if the game by jumping and placing a block under herself she got out of the hole readying to dodge an arrow and kill the skeleton. just to see Masons suit wearing character standing there with a single arrow in his leg. which if you're thinking shed tease him for getting damage it should be noted that, she in fact, has 9 arrows all over her characters body. including the eye. "I know you too well Coby. but good diamond scouting. maybe I should upgrade your equipment to iron..." Mason said as he turns mining the diamond before jumping up the blocks heading to the exit as coby follows close behind. "That's not fair! I had it handled I could've killed it myself!" she whined feeling looked down on. again. sadly before Mason could apologize an offer her cute animals to compensate her moody attitude the ground violently shook. not just in his city, Cobys too. "AH MASON!"she screamed as all the tables and chairs in the cafeteria started to move forcing people ti fall or get shoved by them as loose trays ended up in the floor tripping those trying to get out of the way of the moving furniture. "Coby! Dont tell me you have an earthquake too?" he asks as she could also hear screaming in the background of his mic. All across the world, at the same time everyone experienced the same thing. an earthquake which toppled sky scrapers, moved bunkers, crushed anything that wasnt made of steel... well some cars did fall into a giant crevice and get crushed when it closed itself. but even after all that the suffering didnt end. as government managed to get on their feet to start helping the citizens of their own countries... a tsunami hit. everywhere. storms raged, animals attacked after land was shrunken. it's almost as if the entire planet shrunk and the mass of water rose hundreds of kilometers. many lives were lost. in the earthquake, 8% of earth's original population died or were missing. the tsunami finalized any doubt about the missing being alive as a further 27% drowned or were swept out to sea. the storms caused further damage as another 5% died to lightning, freezing temperatures or just falling I'll from the wet and cold and barely any shelter. the animal attacks lost us another 17%. in total 57% of earth's population died in a span of a month and with most hospitals being underwater, crumbling or over run with wild animals of all shapes and sizes. the rate of birth declined as infants died in the arms of mother, fathers, strangers, and maybe if they were lucky... doctors. through all of these statistics, Coby and Mason survived... for now at least. ------------------- Authors note I'm not an english major nor did I excel at it in school. I'm just a casual worker who loves making up worlds before bed and have previously written fanfic about 6 years ago on wattpad. theres gonna be cliche cringe bs and probably poorly written scenes as well as mature content varying between sex, r4pe and torture.
