Masked Rider Den O

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

100 Tage, um den Teufel zu verführen

[Warnung: R18+] Wenn Hass zu Liebe wird ... und Rache zu Leidenschaft ... Wird er sich für einen Neuanfang mit ihr entscheiden? ======= Phantomflakes Seele wurde von ihrem Körper getrennt, nachdem sie vor den Augen ihres Feindes, Nathan Sparks, dem obersten Anführer der Syphiruz Mafia, Selbstmord begangen hat. Sie wachte auf und musste feststellen, dass ihr Körper (der sich im Koma befand) von Nathan, dem Teufel", gefangen gehalten wurde, der versuchte, ihr Leben zu verlängern. Und was war sein Motiv? Er wollte sie eigenhändig töten und zu Tode foltern! Nathan hegt einen tiefen Groll gegen Phantomflake, da sie diejenige war, die den wertvollsten Menschen in seinem Leben ermordet hat. Er wollte Rache! Und die Dinge wurden noch aufregender, als ein magisches Wesen vor Phantoms Seele auftauchte und ihr einen lächerlichen Auftrag erteilte, damit sie ihren Körper zurückerhält. "Bring ihn dazu, sich innerhalb von 100 Tagen in dich zu verlieben!" sagte das fliegende Wesen und deutete mit seinen kleinen Pfoten auf Nathan, der ausdruckslos neben ihrem Krankenbett stand. Phantomflake verdrehte die Augen und warf dem fliegenden Wesen ein "Du willst mich wohl veräppeln"-Gesicht zu. Das gibt's doch nicht! Das ist eine unmögliche Mission! Dieser Kerl verabscheute sie so sehr. Wie sollte sie das machen?! ****** Excerpt: Nathan packte sie an ihrem Hals. "Spiel keine Streiche mit mir, Phantomflake." Nathans kalte Stimme hallte im Raum wider, seine Augen brannten vor Wut. Aber Phantomflake lächelte ihn nur an und presste ihre Hände gegen seine Brust, ihre Finger neckten ihn. "Du kannst mich nicht töten, Nate. Gib es einfach zu. Du hast dich bereits in mich verliebt." Mit einer schnellen Bewegung zog Phantomflake an seinem Hemd und schloss die Lücken zwischen ihnen, während sie ihre Lippen auf seine Lippen presste. Überraschenderweise ertappte sich Nathan dabei, wie er auf sie reagierte. Er hatte verloren! Er konnte ihr nicht widerstehen. ===== Mir gehörte das Buchcover (=";"=) Künstlerin: Bea Cortez Tritt dem Autorenserver bei, um Updates und Ankündigungen über das Buch zu erhalten.

Masked Persona

COVER ARTIST: LECHE FLAN GLOB (She's also new in her craft so we will be growing together ☆_☆). Do you have that innocent friend that everybody just can't help but love? Do you have that excellent friend that just inspires you to work better in life and in your professional career? Technically, most of them are really as you see them as: adorable, strong, lovable, kind, a free spirit. That isn't what this story is about. Yes, the female protagonist of this story is someone who climbed her way out of hell, but it doesn't mean that this is another revenge story. If only it was. *coughs* This is the story of Yama Shizuka, a girl who has many masked personas that she has used and still uses to manipulate people into thinking whatever she wishes for them to perceive her to be. You could say that her traumatizing childhood paved the way and created this morbid mentality, a need for survival that brought about a strength different from the fictional stories (maybe that's just me shamelessly advertising her story) you and I have read but still retaining a bit of fiction. I mean, if she truly existed, wouldn't it be scary? Heartbreaking, even... This story will be a mixture of her present acts and her remembering her past. There are also important characters that will have their fair share of spotlight when needed. For those who don't like psychological torment, darlings, don't read this. I will not be held accountable. But for those of you who like understanding the human mind and how it can be quite the interesting interaction between the past, present, and future self, do read. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE READING: PERSPECTIVE: the POV of the story changes frequently, depending on the needs of the arc. If you are not a fan of POV changing, maybe this ain't your cup of tea. STORY: There will be a lot of questions at the beginning because this is a long story. For you to understand it, you'd need to read it like 50 chapters in, then re-read it to make it more clear. I also realized I usually change my writing style. If you don't like inconsistencies, I guess Masked Persona ain't for you. STYLE: The main character, Shizuka, would have psychological episodes that is similar to the stream of consciousness. You've been warned. GENRE: This is highly fantasy. Has some future themes to. With how I've seen the story thus far, you really can't come to conclusions that quickly. Some explanations will only happen after so long and it's for a reason. I mean, when I made the timeline, that's what I felt. Some explanations took years before they were given out, sooooooo... P.S. I will occasionally change the cover of the novel depending on the chapter. P. P. S. This is not a cultivation novel, she is wearing a harajuku cardigan. P. P. P. S. I am writing this story for myself, so most of this is to entertain me. If it also entertains you, then sharing is caring.
