Cavernous Breath Sounds

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

The new book, "The Arrogant and Cute Princess: Your Highness is so Cunning" has been published -- back then, she was innocent and naive, doing everything she could, hoping that he would notice her. Later on, in her anger and embarrassment, she snapped: "Chen Yiran, take your hands off me. Do you think I’m still that ignorant young girl?" With a devilish smile, he leaned in to seal her lips with his and whispered: "Hmm... you've long since become an innocent woman."

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] Paradise Bay is a haven for supernatural beings, but not all coexist peacefully. But Vampires and Shifters are sworn enemies, bound by ancient laws that forbid any mingling between their species. Freyr, a brooding vampire with a hunger he cannot explain, becomes obsessed with Alpha Tor, the enigmatic leader of the Bay Shifter pack. His craving isn't just for blood—it's for something deeper, though he cannot name it. For weeks, Freyr stalks Tor through the misty forests and treacherous cliffs of Hanka Island. He doesn't realize that Tor has been aware of his shadowy admirer all along. Curiosity ignites a fire within the alpha, and he lets the vampire's stalking game continue, waiting for the perfect moment to confront him. But destiny intervenes when a violent avalanche traps them together in the icy depths of the mountains. The storm leaves them with no escape and nowhere to hide. For the first time, Freyr and Tor come face to face, and the truth cannot be avoided: Freyr’s forbidden hunger and Tor's dangerous intrigue blur the lines between the predator and the prey. Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So, you’ve been pretending to keep a distance but here you are,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight, his breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. The figure across from him stiffened, pale as moonlight, eyes sharp and predatory, the vampire stepped closer, but not too close. He was cautious and calculating. “What gave me away?” Freyr’s voice was low, smooth yet filled with a low hiss that escaped his mouth. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” Freyr’s jaw clenched, but his gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” he admitted finally, his voice sharper now. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” The admission sent a chill down Tor’s spine—not from fear, but something far more dangerous. He should’ve torn this vampire apart the moment they were alone. But here, under the weight of the mountain and Freyr's unrelenting gaze, his desire rose, and he chose to get closer to him. ******************************************************************************* Trapped together in the harsh wilderness, the lines between hunger, hatred, and passion blur as Freyr and Tor wrestle with their forbidden connection. In the shadows of Paradise Bay, they must decide whether to defy the ancient laws that bind their kind—or risk everything for a love that could shatter their worlds.

*[WSA 2025 ENTERY]* What happens when Madness meets Insanity?? Only chaos could be born from such cataclysmic collision. In the kingdom of Aethel, ruled by the tyrannical King Owen, tradition reigns supreme, often at the cost of humanity. Bound by ancient laws, Owen is forced to make a horrifying choice upon the birth of his twins: to eliminate his newborn daughter, fulfilling a prophecy that foretells doom should twins exist. This sets in motion chain of events that would challenge the very foundation of Aethel. What happens when ancient prophecies collide with the unpredictable nature of a weakening veil? When the line between tradition and survival blurs, and when the very foundation of Aethel’s existence is threatened? The siblings must confront not only the monstrous abominations beyond the veil but also the dark secrets and terrible choices of their own father, a king whose adherence to tradition has pushed him to the brink of madness. The fate of Aethel hangs in the balance, dependent on the choices of four siblings – each grappling with their unique powers, their familial bonds, and the terrible weight of a world teetering on the precipice of chaos.

This is the story of Alvin, a master of martial arts who transmigrated to a world called Celestia, filled with magic and mystery. Alvin also had a cheat called the Book of Eternal Balance inside his soul. This book is capable of collecting eternal points and turning them into insights or purchasing other type knowledge. In this new life, as soon as Alvin transmigrated, he was flabbergasted to see that, having lived as a "single dog" for about 10,000 years, he now had a cute three-year-old daughter in this world. Even before he could see his cute daughter, he came to know that his daughter was going to be used as a sacrificial offering by a group of bastards. Alvin’s anger shot to the heavens upon learning this. Without any hesitation, he picked up his sword and went on a killing spree. Magicians capable of calling down tsunamis and meteors from the sky were cut down like cabbages under his blade. Weapon masters who practiced the way of weapons were beaten black and blue by his fists or directly had their chests pierced by his blade on that day. From that day, the reputation of the Red Devil spread all across Celestia, scaring even true gods. But nobody knew that ultimate villain who they called the Red Devil was now lying in a small bed in a sorry state. There was also a three-year-old cutie slowly feeding him medicine spoon by spoon, with a worried look on her face. In a fit of anger, Alvin had forgotten the fact that he was not the unrivaled master he used to be in his previous life. His body completely collapsed as a result of using the powers from his previous life. .............. Thus, the story of Alvin began in the new world. Years later, he became the true god who could control every element in the world at his will. Coupled with his identity as a martial arts master, he became an existence no one in Celestia dared to provoke. "We are ready to submit to you. Please accept the throne of the supreme ruler of Celestia," all the true god-level magicians and warriors stood before Alvin with worship and respect in their eyes. But the young man before them waved his hands in dismissal. He pulled a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy into his arms and said dismissively, "Not interested. I’m going fishing with my wife. If you have any work to do, ask Elen for help. She’s usually sitting idly at home every day." At the side, Alvin’s daughter rolled her eyes at her father. "You’re saying it as though you’re busy all the time."

On a beautiful day, all high school students in Vietnam were summoned by the gods to countless different planets to destroy the threat called "Demon King". Can they survive and return to their homeland?

Isis walked slowly into the bathroom, her heart beating with unease. She heard muffled voices, followed by soft chuckles. Her steps faltered. The voices were familiar — a man’s deep tone mixed with a woman’s gentle laughter. A cold feeling crept through her chest. She recognized them, but she desperately hoped she was wrong. With trembling hands, she moved closer to the door, the sounds becoming clearer. Her breath caught as she gently pushed the door open. The sight before her made her freeze in shock. Barry, the man she loved and planned to propose to, stood in the small bathroom, holding Melisa — her friend. His lips, smudged with lipstick, confirmed what words couldn’t. Time seemed to stop as her gaze locked on them. A wave of pain shot through her, leaving her numb. The door creaked under her shaky hand, drawing their attention. Barry spun around, panic flashing in his eyes. “I… I can explain,” he stammered, wiping at the lipstick on his mouth with trembling fingers. Isis felt hot tears roll down her cheeks.

But as I approached my seat, my heart skipped a beat. Someone was already sitting there – Zeyden Jenkins, my baby daddy, the man who had abandoned me and our children five years ago. I stood frozen in shock, my eyes locked on his. The air seemed to thicken, heavy with unspoken emotions. I couldn't read his expression, but I knew exactly what was coursing through my veins – anger, anxiety, and hatred. The room fell silent, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioning. All eyes were on us, sensing the palpable tension. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to breathe. Zeyden's gaze held mine, his eyes piercing, as if daring me to react. My mind racing, I struggled to maintain my composure, to keep my emotions in check. But it was no use. The past came flooding back, and I felt like I was staring into the eyes of the man who had shattered my world.
