En una línea de tiempo futura, la Tierra fue visitada por una especie conocida como los Slarkovs. Habiendo perdido su planeta natal y en busca de uno nuevo, la Tierra fue el siguiente planeta habitable para ellos. Los Humanos y los Slarkovs hicieron un trato entre sí a cambio de que los Slarkovs vivieran en la Tierra. Los Slarkovs intercambiaron su tecnología y conocimiento por un nuevo hogar. Eran similares a los humanos, excepto por algunos de ellos que tenían ligeras diferencias, por lo que integrarse en la sociedad no fue un problema. Con los años, los Slarkovs y los humanos comenzaron a aparearse entre sí y a reproducir descendencia. Esto, a su vez, creó nuevas especies conocidas como el mestizaje. Siglos después, los mestizajes podían aprovechar su línea de sangre y realizar hazañas inimaginables.

Su destino cambia cuando una situación inesperada lo lleva a encontrar un sistema que le otorga el poder de desbloquear y mejorar líneas de sangre completando misiones, pero se queda perplejo con dos misiones con un plazo de cinco años. El éxito le otorgará recompensas inimaginables... Pero solo una cosa le espera si falla... ¡La muerte!

[Mature Content! NO RAPE!] “It was a deal with the mafia boss, a supreme alpha in the shadows.” A bargain with the Mafia, the Petrov family, was when her life took a twisted turn. After losing her parents and freedom, Adeline sought revenge. Her first step was to get involved with the next Don of a rival mafia group, and what could be more infuriating for the Petrov family than finding out that she had made a deal with the Kuznetsov heir? Caesar Romanovich Kuznetsov, the Russian mafia often called ‘Tzar’ by humans, was the only man who could bring down her enemies. However, Adeline was unaware of the bizarre connection between them. Caesar desired nothing more than power—to instill fear and dominate his enemies. But that was until…he met the forced wife of his enemy. Fascination, thrill, and the need to bring her undone... Imagine his surprise. He wouldn’t flinch from burning the whole world if that’s what Adeline wished. But in exchange for sealing the deal, Caesar wanted nothing more than a mere kiss from his mate! ——— How to contact me: >>>Instagram: peachbunbun999 >>>Discord: peachbunbun999 follow on Instagram ^^

This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.

When transfer student Haruki Sakamoto accidentally walks into Professor Akizuki's "Psychology of Human Attachment" class, he expects to quietly slip out unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself captivated by both the subject matter and Noa Hoshizaki, a brilliant psychology major whose analytical approach to relationships challenges everything he thought he knew about love. Haruki has spent years analyzing emotions in literature while remaining clueless about his own feelings. Noa excels at academic theory but struggles with the practical application of healthy relationship patterns. Together, they embark on what begins as an intellectual exploration of attachment theory and evolves into something much more profound—learning how to love each other intentionally and well. Under Professor Akizuki's mentorship, they discover that relationships don't have to be mysterious or dramatic to be meaningful. Instead, they learn to apply psychological research to their own connection, developing communication skills, supporting each other's individual growth, and choosing conscious partnership over unconscious patterns inherited from childhood. As their romance deepens, so does their academic collaboration. Haruki's research on attachment pattern development complements Noa's thesis on therapeutic interventions, leading to discoveries that could influence how people understand and develop healthier relationships. Their work attracts attention from graduate programs across the country, forcing them to choose between geographic proximity and pursuing the academic opportunities that align with their individual goals. They decide to trust their relationship enough to support each other's dreams, even when it means separation. Noa accepts an early research position at the University of Chicago while Haruki prepares for graduate school at Northwestern. Their love survives the transition from campus romance to long-distance partnership, proving that relationships built on mutual support and intentional communication can thrive despite challenges. By graduation, they've not only learned how to love each other well, but their collaborative research has begun producing findings that could revolutionize relationship psychology. When their independent studies reveal what appears to be a critical period for attachment pattern development in young adults—a window where conscious relationship work produces dramatically accelerated results—they realize they may have discovered something that could help millions of people develop healthier connections. Volume 1 concludes as their research attracts national attention, with publication opportunities and conference presentations that could launch their academic careers. But Noa hints at another discovery that could change everything they think they know about their findings. This is a story about two people who learn that the best relationships aren't accidents of chemistry, but conscious collaborations between partners committed to each other's growth. It's about love that makes people better, research that matters, and the discovery that understanding attachment theory isn't just academic—it's the foundation for building lasting partnership. A romance for readers who believe love can be both analytical and passionate, practical and profound. More volume will be out soon!

Heartbroken and adrift, Elena Hayes inherits more than just her late mother Sarah's beloved lavender farm, Wildhaven Blooms; she inherits a dying legacy and a well of grief she can't navigate. Leaving her high-pressure Chicago life behind, Elena returns to the sun-drenched valleys only to find the once-vibrant purple fields brittle and grey, mirroring the hollow ache within her. She's determined to save the farm, her last tangible connection to her vibrant mother, but the challenges are overwhelming, and her isolation is profound. Her salvation arrives unexpectedly in the form of Liam Carter, the quiet, capable handyman Sarah trusted. Their first meeting is a disaster – Elena, covered in mud and tears, wrestling a broken irrigation pump; Liam, calm and observant, offering help she stubbornly rejects. Yet, he doesn't leave. With steady hands and a deep understanding of the land – and of loss – Liam begins tending to the failing fields, gently breaking through Elena's walls of grief and self-doubt. As they work side-by-side under the vast sky, reviving the lavender row by row, an undeniable connection blossoms. Liam's quiet strength and unwavering support become Elena's anchor. He shows her not just how to nurture the plants, but how to reconnect with the simple beauty of life she'd forgotten in the city. He listens to her memories of Sarah, shares stories of his own past, and helps her see her mother's spirit alive in the very soil they cultivate. But saving Wildhaven Blooms isn't just about farming. Elena uncovers hidden financial struggles and a surprising secret in her mother's past that threatens the farm's future and shakes her understanding of her family. Facing this new crisis, Elena must decide if she's truly ready to put down roots and fight for this new life, or retreat to the safety of what she knew. "Flower Field" is a heart-touching romance about healing, finding strength in unexpected places, and the transformative power of love and nature. It's the story of a woman rediscovering herself through the legacy of her mother and the quiet devotion of a man who teaches her that even the most withered fields, and hearts, can bloom again with patience, care, and the courage to open up. As the lavender finally surges back to life, painting the valley in a breathtaking sea of purple, Elena realizes that her greatest inheritance wasn't the land, but the chance to rebuild her life, mend her heart, and find a love as enduring and fragrant as the fields themselves.

Two years ago, Von Royner was presumed dead, killed alongside his father in a CIA-orchestrated hit meant to erase a bloodline too dangerous to exist. His father, James Royner, had a rare and lethal ability: he could see the first ten seconds of any person’s actions before they happened. A gift the government feared. A secret they buried with bullets and fire. But Von survived. Now hiding in the shadows of Chicago’s most dangerous streets, Von emerges with the same gift, a burning thirst for justice, and a message for those who tried to destroy him: “You’re going to pay for what you did to my father.” With his gang, the Black Disciples, and memories of a murdered friend fueling his mission, Von sets out to dismantle the system that turned on his family. As he walks the line between vengeance and redemption, hunted by the CIA and haunted by his past, Von must decide how far he’s willing to go to finish what his father started because the war has just begun.
