Piper Vaughn

Corrupted Bonds

In a world torn apart by rifts that release dangerous monsters, Espers—humans imbued with powerful abilities—serve as humanity's last line of defense. But the power of an Esper comes with a price. Overuse of their abilities leads to dangerous corruption, a force that can destroy them from the inside out. This is where Guides come in: individuals with the unique ability to calm the corruption within Espers and restore their balance. Rowan Mercer, an S-class Guide, is one of the best in his field, capable of stabilizing even the most dangerous Espers. He has worked quietly behind the scenes, helping those in need, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is called to work with Lucian Vaughn, an S-class Esper whose immense power and unstable corruption levels make him a dangerous threat to himself and others. Lucian, a tall, stoic, and enigmatic figure, has long fought against the growing corruption within him. At first, his relationship with Rowan is purely professional—Rowan as his Guide, helping him to stay in control. However, as their interactions grow more frequent, their bond deepens in ways neither expected. What started as a simple duty soon turns into a complex relationship where power, trust, and vulnerability collide. As the world around them faces escalating threats from rifts, Rowan and Lucian must navigate not only their personal challenges but also the dangerous world of Espers and Guides. Their bond will be tested as they fight together against the corrupting forces that threaten them both. In Corrupted Bonds, survival isn’t just about battling monsters from the rifts—it's about fighting the darkness within themselves and finding a way to stay connected in a world that’s constantly pulling them apart.

Well, I Died, But, I Obtained A Cheat Farm System!

It was the same boring normal lifestyle. Waking up as early as 6am, and going to work at 7am. Working very hard like a working machine every single day and returning from work at 8pm. But what was all that hard work for? She was controlled and used by her superiors, who had always claimed her merits and great achievements as their own. It was late in the night. After getting out of the blue bus and walking along the sidewalk, on her way to her tiny apartment, she suddenly halted out of frustration. The purse that was hanging around her neck, she removed it and threw it on the floor with an agonizing groan. Her pale face, which had dark circles underneath her eyes, looked up at the sky, and pointing her right finger at the sky, she quarreled, “Are you having fun watching my pathetic life?! Huh?! Are you going to mock me like everyone else does?! I overheard everything my colleagues said about me behind my back! They said that I was a naive fool! They said that I was only a tool to them, meant to be used!”. “But is that fair?! It wasn't enough that my superiors always took credit for my hard work. But, the colleagues I thought of as my friends had also been taking advantage of me, and I only found out about that today! Every single damn time, they all came to me, behaving pitifully and begging me that I should help them resolve their own work issues, and I, as naive and foolish as I am, helped them out, despite the stress involved in it”. “I do not even remember the last time I had a good night's sleep! Why is this world so cruel to me?! Is it because I don't have any people to call my family?! Is it because I don't have parents?!”. She yelled at the top of her lungs and held her chest using her left hand. The passersby stared at her and were muttering to themselves, “She must have gone crazy”. Yeah, she had gone crazy. Crazy because of her unfair life, that she didn't care at all if it all came to an end. “What I would give to be the boss of my own life!”. She yelled again, before she broke down crying and slowly sat down on the ground. Her palms covered her face for a few seconds, not having a single clue that those few seconds would change her life for good. “Watch out!!!”. Someone screamed at her, but it was too late for her. She removed her palms from her face and silently watched as a car drove recklessly towards her. ‘See? My life is pathetic’. She thought, before her body was crushed. And before she lost consciousness and died, her body was drenched in blood. …. Opening her eyes, she got very confused. The first words that came out of her mouth were this: "Didn't I die?”. Staring at her surroundings, she got even more confused. As she sat up on the bed, she felt a stinging pain in her head as a flood of memories, which she knew didn't belong to her, flashed in her mind. “Wait, what? Since when am I the granddaughter of a farmer and the daughter of the great wing city leading superstars? And since when did I have a Cheat Farm System and a fiancè?! I don’t understand any of these, you freak. I am not Piper Graham. You got the wrong person”. …. “Hahaha! The old me is dead starting from this very moment! Watch me climb up to wealth using my Cheat Farm System! In this new life, I will become the boss, not the employee!!”. She jumped around her tiny bedroom as she shouted to her heart's content after realizing that she had been given a new shot at life.

The Shadows of Fate

"You can outrun many things, but fate will always find you, like your shadow in the light." . In the heart of Washington D.C., mafia heir Vaughn Volkov is on a mission that takes him far from the sun-soaked streets of California. The bustling city, with its imposing monuments and corridors of power, is a far cry from the palm-lined avenues of his home. Vaughn, however, is not one to be easily intimidated. His piercing blue eyes and commanding presence turn heads wherever he goes, a reminder that beneath his polished exterior lies a man accustomed to danger and control. Vaughn's path crosses with Eliza Monroe, a seemingly innocent college student whose gentle demeanor masks a resilience forged from her own turbulent past. Eliza, with her kind heart and determined spirit, is an enigma. She spends her days buried in books at the library, her nights working part-time to make ends meet. Her brown eyes, often hidden behind a cascade of dark curls, hold a depth that Vaughn finds both intriguing and unsettling. Their first encounter is anything but ordinary. Vaughn watches, intrigued by her fearlessness and the fire in her eyes. "You're not like the others," he remarks later, cornering her in the quiet corner of the library. His voice is a low, dangerous purr that sends shivers down Eliza's spine. "And you're not just the student here," she retorts, meeting his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "What do you want from me?" Vaughn's lips curve into a slow, dangerous smile. "Maybe I just want to get to know you." Despite her reservations, Eliza feels a strange pull towards Vaughn. His presence is intoxicating, a blend of danger and allure that she finds hard to resist. As they spend more time together, Eliza begins to see glimpses of the man beneath the mafia heir. Vaughn, too, finds himself drawn to Eliza in ways he never anticipated. Her kindness, her strength, and her unyielding spirit ignite something within him that he thought long buried. Yet, as their connection deepens, the shadows of their pasts loom ever larger. Vaughn's family business, shrouded in crime and violence, is never far from his mind. His enemies are ruthless, and his association with Eliza puts her squarely in their crosshairs. Eliza, too, harbors secrets. The dark forces that have shaped her life threaten to consume her, and Vaughn's world only amplifies those dangers. As their worlds collide, they must navigate a treacherous web of intrigue, passion, and forbidden desire. But with danger lurking around every corner, will their love survive, or will they be torn apart by the shadows of fate?

The Quiet Buyer

In a world where swords clash with sorcery and cultivation fuels power, dungeons—rare and nearly mythical—appear like ghost stories, told but rarely seen. Within these hidden domains lie the most coveted resources in the land: not just gold, silver, and diamonds, but the primal, ancient stones known as Nature's Currency—mystic gems with untold value, needed not only for survival, but for dominion over magic, cultivation, and life itself. Here, sword cultivators reign, battling monsters and each other for power and immortality. Heroes are forged in blood. Legends die young. But Vaughn? Vaughn wants nothing to do with any of it. Reincarnated into this dangerous world with only fragments of his past life—and a strange, mysterious System—he discovers something extraordinary: a shop that sells exactly what people need the most… at exactly the right time. Whether it's a dying warrior needing a soul elixir, a noble seeking a forgotten scroll, or a monster yearning to evolve—his System generates and supplies it. He doesn’t want glory. He doesn’t want war. All he wants is peace... and profit. But when his store begins to draw attention from powerful cultivators, wandering swordsmen, secret sects, and even the ancient forces tied to the dungeons themselves, Vaughn realizes something terrifying: He may not want war—but war wants him. And his store might just be the key to saving, or dooming, the world. --- Note: I'll reconsider your opinion on our story. Please, guide me.

Rebirth Of The Silver Luna: From Ashes To Fury

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I Was the Luna Who Loved Him, Now I’m the Luna Who Will Ruin Him Synopsis Selene Callista was once the beloved Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. She thought she had everything—a strong mate, a respected title, and a place to call home. But beneath the surface, her world was crumbling. Her mate, Alpha Damian Blackwood, only married her because fate demanded it. He never loved her. He never wanted her. And when she failed to conceive an heir after three years, he found comfort in another woman—Lillith Vaughn, the beautiful and cunning she-wolf who had been Selene’s closest friend. The ultimate betrayal came when Lillith announced she was carrying Damian’s child. But before Selene could process the pain, she was framed for killing the unborn pup. Damian, blinded by rage, cast her aside, condemning her to death. And as if that weren’t enough, her father—her only true protector—was slaughtered for daring to defend her. Burned at the stake, Selene’s last thoughts weren’t of sorrow but of vengeance. Then she woke up. Sixteen again. Seven years before her death. This time, she knows the truth. Damian was never her fated mate—he was a curse in disguise. Lillith was never a friend—she was a snake waiting to strike. And Selene? She was never weak—she was just too blind to see the power she held. With the Moon Goddess guiding her, Selene vows to change her fate. She will protect her father, save her mother, and destroy those who seek to use and betray her. She will not waste her love on Damian. She will not be fooled by Lillith’s lies. But there’s one thing she didn’t expect—Killian Voss. The feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A man of few words and deadly actions. Selene barely remembers the boy she once saved from a rogue attack when she was ten, but Killian has never forgotten her. He searched for her, only to arrive too late, finding nothing but ashes. Now, like her, he’s been given a second chance. And this time, he won’t let history repeat itself. But fate is never kind. Damian, the mate who discarded her, begins to crave the woman she’s becoming. Lillith, no longer just a scheming mistress, has become something much darker—an experiment of a secret human laboratory, enhanced with a power no werewolf can match. And Selene, caught between past and present, must decide whether to fight for revenge… or for a future she never thought possible. Because this time, she won’t just rewrite her destiny—she will set the entire werewolf world on fire.
