A Million Kisses In Your Lifetime In Order

Pride? Honor? What do those words even mean? I’ve never felt the need to indulge in such fleeting emotions. As long as I can survive another day, nothing else matters. Fame, power, wealth, even the affection of women—I’ll throw them all away in an instant if it means I can take just one more breath of freedom. The only thing that drives me now is the desperate need to escape this unrelenting enslavement. Magic has returned to the world. Divine artifacts, long thought to be lost, have resurfaced, bringing with them nothing but chaos. The gods have descended upon us, enslaving humanity and forcing us into their merciless game—the “God Games.” A cruel competition where we, the powerless, are nothing more than pawns on a living chessboard. Manipulated, controlled, and discarded for the gods’ amusement. But I am no pawn. I refuse to accept my fate. I will fight tooth and nail for my freedom. I will sacrifice everything—my pride, my honor, my humanity—if it means I can escape this nightmare and carve out a life of my own. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that survival is all that matters. And no matter the cost, I will live. —— Chapters 1-30 are primarily prologues building up to the first main arc.

"Why can’t you simply hate me? I am a witch, after all. The very creature you loathe with every fiber of your being. I have hidden this truth from you for ages. I have lied to you. I have deceived you. So..." Ava balled her fist and struck Felix’s chest, her tears tracing silent paths down her face. "Hate me, General. Hate me! Why won’t you just hate me?" He grasped her wrist, halting her soft attacks. "Has anyone ever told you that your eyes resemble the second-brightest star when they glisten with your tears?" he asked. "What?" Ava frowned at the sudden shift in topic. "But..." He pulled her closer. "Do you know when they resemble the brightest one?" Ava’s lips parted, but no sound escaped them. Felix gently brushed a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear. "When you look at me with that innocence in your eyes." He paused, their gazes locking, eyes drowning in each other. "You want me to hate you? Then teach me. Teach me how to hate someone whose eyes hold the innocence of holy water." --- Ava Sideris Hellstern, a witch, is forced to flee when the royal princess, driven by unrequited love for General Felix Hellstern, threatens to expose her secret to the nation.

A Short Story with no actual meaning just to appreciate a few aesthetics I love

After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.

My gaze remained fixed on the boy before me. His deep blue eyes scanned my body, and I couldn't help but quiver under his intense gaze. His eyes held an inscrutable expression that eluded my understanding, no matter how hard I tried. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I mustered the courage to leave the classroom, but he stepped closer, cornering me against the rough wall. His arm blocked my path, his presence overwhelming.

And I must admit, I LOVE YOU TOO, my lovely substitute teacher," he declared, his gaze unwavering and a tempting smirk playing on his handsome face. One of his arms moved, fingers slowly tracing down my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "I am older than you, Richard. I am your teacher. Please, stop," I pleaded, my voice barely audible. Richard sneered, bending down to my level and whispered in my ear. "Are you REALLY older than me, baby? Are you really?" His words dripped with sarcasm and mockery, making my heart race. If Richard discovers my true identity, I am doomed. He's been suspicious of me since I arrived here, and if he reveals the truth... I won't find Jackson's murderer, the killer of my beloved, my fiancé. No! I can't let that happen. Richard studied me intently, then smirked. "I know who you—" Before he could finish, I impulsively grabbed his face and pressed my lips against his, a surprising and unexpected move that stunned both of us. ...
