In a quiet village where nothing ever seems to change, four teenagers navigate school, friendships, and the weight of growing up. But when Elias, an eccentric and sharp-witted boy, starts having strange, prophetic dreams, his world begins to shift in ways he never imagined. At first, it’s harmless—just glimpses of the future, whispers of possibilities. But then, Elias discovers something far more dangerous: the ability to control dreams, shape reality, and bend people’s will to his own. What starts as an innocent experiment quickly spirals into something darker. With each passing day, Elias becomes more consumed by his power, his mind twisting with the endless possibilities it offers. His childhood friend Lina doesn’t see the change, his classmates laugh at his antics, and even his closest friend, Gabriel, remains unaware. But Gabriella—Gabby—senses something is wrong. She’s always been distant, always kept her guard up. But now, as she watches Elias slip further into his obsession, she finds herself drawn into a mystery bigger than anything she’s ever faced. The strange messages in their group chat, the way Elias’s gaze lingers just a second too long—it all points to something unnatural. As Elias teeters on the edge, hunger for power clouding his judgment, Gabby is the only one who sees the danger. The only one who might be able to pull him back. But can she reach him before it’s too late? Or will he become something far beyond saving? A story of power, obsession, and the thin line between control and chaos—where dreams are no longer just dreams, and the greatest battle is not against fate, but against oneself.

Standing beside it were the dark Elf and a banshee who had broken the five seals that sealed the darkness away and kept it at bay. "What is that?" Hazel asked. She could not believe the sight before her. A realm as beautiful as this harbored such darkness within it! On a closer look, she was able to identify Duran but she could not identify the other person standing beside him. "The Banshee," Arzaan replied. His gaze fixated on the two who had broken the seals he placed on the land. Shifting his gaze momentarily from them, he puts a shield on Hazel and holds onto her waist to prevent her from moving forward already knowing what would happen next. "Why are they...? Her words were left unfinished. Her eyes grew wide at the phenomenon that had materialized before them. "What is that?"

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: Sorry, everyone.

I watched her place her cigarette in an ashtray and take a step closer while I continued dancing on the pole. I heard the sound of her palm hitting against each other as she applauded. “Get down.” She spoke with a stern voice and an unreadable look on her face. I wasn’t ready to argue with one of the highest paying customers so I did as she said. She turned her back towards me and walked into the darkness and I mindlessly followed her. I stood in the darkness without knowing what to expect and neither could I see her. It happened so fast and I felt my back pressing against the wall that was once across from where I previously stood. “I don’t like the way they stare and fantasise about your body.” She whispered and I couldn’t help but get turned on by how dominant she was. “But I love the way you gawk at me when you see me take off my robe but must especially when I dance.” I bit my lips trying to hold back my passion. ___ Sent by her stepmother to bring down Genevieve Rodríguez as an undercover agent for an old drug queen, Cattleya is found crazily in love with Genevieve, her dark knight. “I can’t do it!!.” Cattleya cried. “You can’t what!?.” Her step mother asked her angrily.

Excerpt "I can hear your heartbeat, Gabby," he uttered, his voice deep and husky. Gabby immediately frowned, unimpressed. "What are you insinuating, Mr. Devereux?" she steadied her voice, trying her best not to show the desire that sent shivers down her spine. The thought of him pinning her against the wall almost made her spiral, but she knew this would not end well—for both of them. Instead of giving her an answer, he took a step towards her. "I knew you wanted me, just as I wanted you," he said. Gabby pursed her lips as she tried to take in the small distance between them. She lifted her gaze and stared at his silver-gray eyes. "You must be losing your mind, Mr. Devereux. Being confident is one thing; being arrogant is laughable. Not everyone wearing a skirt likes to spend time in your bed." Some of them wanted to see how fast his wounds heals, she thought as she convinced herself that she was here to study... him. He chuckled, amusement flashing in his eyes. "One, you are not wearing a skirt. Two, I do not want you to spend time in my bed." His gaze darkened as he took another step towards her. "I want you here, right now, in the middle of my office—on my table, on that plush couch, the shower, and against the wall. The bed is for resting, Gabby and trust me, I want to do a lot of things with you, and not one of them involves resting in my bed."

Through teary gaze, I watched as his ex clung to him like a koala. I turned to leave. "Did you ever think I'd be mates with you?" His words made me halt. "Your mother is a rogue, your father a mere warrior and you're just as pathetic as she is. Just leave this pack." He sneered. With eyes blazing with fury, I turned to face him. He was obviously startled by my action. "I, Marie , reject you, Lucian , as my mate. I may look pathetic to you, but I swear on my dead mother's grave-" I let my words hang, as I took a step forward. "-I'll be back. And I'll claim everything I've lost. That's a promise...loser."
