Stay With Me Bl

Il avait été le meilleur assassin de tous les temps dans son monde et lorsqu'il a été finalement tué, une déesse a saisi l'occasion pour envoyer son âme dans le corps d'un garçon dans un autre monde qui était faible pour le moment mais qui était destiné à devenir le mage le plus puissant de cet univers. Ce jeune garçon s'appelait Kevin et il a décidé de prendre son identité car il avait conservé ses souvenirs. La seule chose qu'ils avaient en commun, c'est qu'ils étaient tous les deux orphelins, mais Kevin avait un esprit faible et un corps faible, bref, tout ce qu'il détestait le plus. Après être entré avec succès dans la Secte du Soleil en tant que mage, il a réussi à ouvrir le livre que Kevin avait hérité de ses parents et qu'il avait été incapable d'ouvrir. Quelle ne fut pas sa surprise lorsqu'il se rendit compte que ce livre s'était transformé en un Système lui permettant de monter de niveau comme dans les jeux de réalité virtuelle auxquels il jouait dans son monde natal. Avec l'aide de ce Système, il réalisera son souhait, il deviendra l'humain le plus puissant de ce monde, pas même les métamorphes ou les démons ne pourront rien contre lui. ………… Kevin tourna la tête vers lui et, voyant qu'il était toujours nu, il dit en détournant à nouveau le regard : "Habille-toi d'abord, ensuite on parlera." Axel trouva des vêtements qui semblaient amples et les enfila tout de suite, il prit aussi une paire de dagues dont les lames étaient juste un peu plus courtes que ses avant-bras, et il s'approcha ensuite de Kevin pour l'enlacer par derrière. Kevin le laissait faire ce qu'il voulait, même si l'une de ses dagues était maintenant très proche de sa gorge, Axel lui dit à l'oreille : "Je veux te faire confiance Kevin, alors donne-moi une bonne raison de le faire." Kevin lui demanda alors : "Qu'est-ce que tu veux savoir ?" Axel soupira, menacer Kevin avec ses propres dagues ne lui serait d'aucune utilité et il risquait de briser le lien qu'ils étaient en train de créer. Il prit alors une décision et planta les deux dagues dans le sol devant eux, il passa ses mains sous le pull de Kevin et en cerna la taille, le pressant davantage contre lui. Kevin ne s'attendait pas à ce tournant des événements et il sentit son cœur battre plus vite. Les mains d'Axel étaient chaudes et il pouvait sentir sa grosse érection contre lui, une chose était sûre, c'est qu'il ne le laissait pas indifférent. ………….

Omegaverse## Kaelith thought his life was over when his machine blinked its last light, his step-sister’s novel still in his hands. Dying while reading a love story: wasn’t that just cruel irony? He never even had the chance to experience love himself. But death wasn’t the end—it was a reset. When Kael opened his eyes, he wasn’t in a hospital or some afterlife. He was inside the very book he had just finished, a world ruled by Alphas, where Omegas were expected to submit, and vampires lurked in the shadows of power. And him? He was a nobody. A character that wasn’t meant to exist. But worse than that, he was an Omega, born into a prestigious Alpha family that saw his existence as a stain. Hidden from the world by a father who refused to acknowledge him, protected only by a mother’s desperate pleas. Yet, unlike the character in the novel who lived in quiet submission, Kael refused to let this new life be another cage. He wanted to live. To experience everything he never could. So he went to college. He went to parties. He kissed a stranger at a club. That was his first mistake. Because that stranger? Leonhardt. A ruthless Alpha who never cared for Omegas until Kael’s scent shattered his world. Then came Veyron. The Chaos Bringer. A vampire minister who lived for centuries without temptation until Kael’s blood left him intoxicated and craving more. And lastly, Cauis. The sanctuary. A Beta who saw Kael for who he was, but loved him with conditions, and refused to let him go. Kael only wanted to have fun. To finally live. Instead, he found himself at the center of a dangerous game where love, obsession, and power blurred into one. And the scariest part? He didn’t know if he wanted to escape or to fall even deeper. — An Alpha. A Vampire. A Beta. Who would he choose? Would it be Leonhardt, the possessive Alpha who refuses to let him go? Veyron, the enigmatic vampire who tempts him with both danger and pleasure? Or Cauis, the only one who offers him a love with conditions? One heart. Three paths. Which one will he follow?

He actually did it, look at him go all out! *** Mani swirled pink liquid in his cup "This is called a moonshine right? Moonshine.. it should not make us blind right?" he drank it while still pondering pros and cons of drinking it in their current situation. "Well, did not make me blind," Yax offered his expert opinion "and I've been pilfering it from my dad since like.." he really could not remember, seemed like forever already. He reached to get another bottle and tumbled all the empty ones to the ground. Cid pulled him back by his shoulder "Sit down, I'll do it." he refilled Yax's cup on the right and Mani's cup on the left, then filled his own in the middle. With closed eyes, he enjoyed strawberry aroma wafting up from this holy drink. Mani bravely emptied his cup "Did we really saw it back there" he whispered from left "it was so much bigger than.." he trailed off in search of proper example. "Yep, we saw it" Yax's answer came from the right "it was absolutely huge." Mani leaned over Cid and looked at Yax seriously "Do you think we will need magic to move it?" He did bring along his beads. Yax also leaned over to give his most serious answer "Naah, it should have an engine somewhere in there to move it. I heard" he looked around carefully and whispered so only Mani could hear "my dad said it's technology so ancient that it was sealed away, to keep it safe. It's better than magic." At the other side of their campfire, Ivory huffed while trying to snatch last bottle of holy moonshine from Jone who gently pushed him back while seriously stating "All technology at certain point starts resembling magic to those who do not understand it." "Hear, hear" Blaze confirmed from his spot on the ground with one hand waving up and showing a peace sign for some reason. Next to him, twins were out and snoring already. Mani pursed his lips and looked up into the sky. He could not see any real moonshine, leaves blocked the sky, but it should still be up there somewhere. He stil hoped to get some magic, it would be awesome to get some real superpowers. He hiccuped, while leaning on Cindy next to him. Well, he kinda did have some already, or those do not count? Yax leaned fully on Cid and got cosy. He had to admit some parts were rather mystical. Like this holy potion. Or Mani. Mani was most definitely something magical. But he is not going to say it. And no one can know what he thinks to himself. He grinned, satisfied by himself and his skill to keep secrets. Squished between two drunks, Cid rolled his eyes, there goes Yax, spilling the beans to whoever wants to listen his 'secret thoughts'. Not like anyone was sober enough to pay any attention. "Time to end this party." Cid said while standing up and dragging Yax towards the tent he shared with Ivory. "Tomorrow is another day where we have to rise up and do our best to save the world." Even though he knew that all they were saving is themselves. And their friends. Well, that is his whole world, really. The forest was silent, darkness was endless, beasts were hiding. With closed eyes and half asleep, Blaze was sure that he can hear gods above laughing, louder and louder from that abyss they call home. ...___...

Synopsis: "Tell me, Father, do you truly believe your God listens when you pray… or does He turn His ear away, knowing you already belong to me?" Father Andrien was a man of God—once. His faith was unwavering, his prayers unbroken, his soul unstained. Until the night he sinned. No one knew. No one saw. But he did. The stranger arrived at dusk, stepping into the dim candlelight of the chapel like he belonged there. Lucian. A name that dripped from his lips like an old hymn, his presence as familiar as the silence before a storm. "You called for me once, Father. Have you forgotten?" Andrien doesn’t remember. But the shadows do. The stones beneath his feet hum with the echoes of a prayer he was never meant to speak. A desperate plea made in the throes of grief, whispered to something that was listening. Now, the price must be paid. The holy water curdles at his touch. His rosary tightens around his throat. The walls of the church whisper his name in voices not of this world. And Lucian—Lucian watches. "You wear His cross, but your soul was promised to me. Shall we collect what was left unfinished?" A prophecy lost to time. A sin buried in blood. And a man of faith who prayed to the wrong god. The devil does not forget.

For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." - 2 Corinthians 11:14 For years, Father Andrien has lived by his faith, turning a blind eye to the whispers of sin that creep through the church's sacred halls. But when Lucian arrives-a priest draped in holiness yet steeped in something far more sinister-Andrien's fragile devotion begins to fracture. Lucian is not like the others. His voice is velvet-laced temptation, his eyes hold something unreadable, something watching. He speaks of the church's rot as if he knows it intimately, whispering truths Andrien refuses to believe. Faithful men are not always righteous. The righteous are not always clean. Andrien tries to resist, yet he feels it-the pull, the gravity of Lucian's presence, the way confession slips too easily from his lips in the dark. Until the night he falls. And when the candlelight flickers against stone, when the air is thick with the weight of his own undoing, Lucian stands before the cross with a smile too cruel to be divine. "Doesn't it feel so divine to sin, Father?" Faith is fragile. Desire is relentless. And corruption... was always inevitable.

The stability of life is what many desired. Yet life was never like that. It is like a tree, bear fruits yet it's trunk is rough in texture. A dark dome we needed to survive, where light presence was what we sought after. Alongside some company as we adjourn toward what we desired
