Was Shifty With Advantage Kept By Hard Director

Aiden, a 17-year-old human warlock, was once an ordinary boy living in the mortal realm, juggling part-time jobs to support his terminally ill mother. Her last words to him, “Promise me you’ll live. Don’t let this darkness consume you. You… you deserve happiness,” became a haunting echo in his mind after her passing were a plea he couldn’t fulfill. Aimless and broken, Aiden drifted through life, living off his mother’s death insurance, spending his days in solitude, and feeling the weight of purposelessness crushing him. But life took a cruel turn, and somehow, Aiden found himself in Hell—a realm of hybrids, power struggles, and unimaginable horrors. Struggling to survive in a world where humans are seen as weak, Aiden is thrust into the company of Lilith Maltrix, the golden-haired, horned heiress of the illustrious and feared Maltrix family. Arrogant, cunning, and brimming with talent, Lilith commands the academy with an aura of untouchable power. Her immense influence, derived from her family’s dominance in Hell’s economy and politics, keeps rivals at bay. Yet, despite her own ambitions and countless admirers, Lilith chooses Aiden as her peculiar companion—a decision that baffles and infuriates the academy’s student body. The academy is a brutal proving ground for Hell’s elite and misfits, where power is everything, alliances are fleeting, and survival often depends on cruelty. Here, Aiden is forced to participate in absurd and often grotesque competitions, such as being paraded as Lilith’s "rarest treasure" to advance her family’s business schemes. Despite his protests and unease, Aiden adapts to the cruelty around him, though he clings to his mother’s dying wish to resist being consumed by the darkness. As the story unfolds, Aiden finds himself entangled in Hell’s political machinations, where nobles vie for power, war looms on the horizon, and rivalries threaten even Lilith’s supremacy. Despite her popularity and unrivaled status, Lilith has her share of enemies who are eager to see her fall. Meanwhile, Aiden wrestles with his humanity in a world that sees him as an oddity—both a curiosity and a tool to be used. In the backdrop of carnage, comedy, and chaos, Aiden and Lilith’s unconventional relationship evolves. Through their twisted bond, Aiden begins to uncover a deeper truth about Hell, its society, and the struggles of those who live there. Together, they navigate a realm where even the smallest act of kindness is a rarity, and survival often means becoming the very monster you fear. This is a tale of resilience, dark humor, and an unlikely friendship forged in the depths of Hell—a story that asks what it truly means to live, even when surrounded by darkness.

Nature never imposes love; it offers it gently, much like a fragile rose unfurling its petals in the morning light. ***** When Sydney's eyes locked with Jordan's, her heart danced a frantic rhythm, and words seemed to dissolve before they could leave her lips. His striking silver eyes glistened like precious stones, while his elegant black tuxedo highlighted every sculpted line of his face, transforming him into a dashing prince from a fairy tale. His warm, gentle smile wrapped around her like a tender embrace, and she felt as though she was yielding to the whispers of destiny. This was that electrifying moment of love at first sight, yet... Sydney's hand instinctively moved to her stomach as she dashed aside, swept up in a torrent of emotions. It wasn't just her heart that raced; her deepest anxieties stirred to life as well. L-O-V-E! Sydney Mia, renowned across the nation as a visionary director, had a clear mantra: "Conquer the world with my films, amass accolades, and secure an immortal legacy." Love was never part of the grand narrative, merely a faint echo in the distance. Yet, Jordan's presence was a gentle tremor, unsettling the core of her being and awakening a yearning she had never acknowledged. There was an undeniable uniqueness about Jordan. He was the calm amid chaos, a sanctuary where she could truly be herself and confront her demons. As she opened her eyes, her hand still quivering, their gazes intertwined once more. His silver eyes radiated an ethereal intensity, brimming with concern and tenderness. "Are you okay?" he inquired, his voice a soothing balm, like a gentle stream winding through a verdant glen. In that instant, Sydney felt her defenses beginning to crumble, her fears slowly unwinding. Could Jordan be the one to ignite her heart, to reveal that love was not a vulnerability, but a formidable force capable of moving mountains and breaking the chains of her deepest insecurities? Could he be the one to inspire her to rewrite her life's script, to place love in the starring role?

This wasn't my first VR game, but as always, I sucked. My favorite kind of ways to play was a meaty mage with high damage and favorably both high MP and HP regeneration. But while I tried to create this type of Avatar, l had no luck yet again. This game was way too hard! It was also almost impossible to level up like this and I died countless times. Also...I was basically an social inept and unble to perform well in a party or any other kind of group. I had too less talent to get stronger as fast as other players and the painfully low possibilities of my potential often sent me to the brink of my inner abyss. Still, I loved playing this game and kept on playing anyway. Until one day, my peace and serenity were broken by the undercurrents and remnants of political struggle in the city I resided. Forced to join the ruthless leader of the black market I had to let go of everything that hindered me to grow stronger. To find my oppressors who bullied, stole from me and made me wish to leave this game behind. On my way to revenge, my class was upgraded to a branch class of mage, - illusionist. Fit for my style of madness and an concealed weapon against my enemies. And this made me let loose of anything reining myself back. - "So, you said you were an illusionist. Do you already know what your class is able to do or shall I explain it to you?" The class instructor asked. "I can make weak hallucinations and cute phantasms." "..." he held the bridge of his nose. "You got to choose between scary and cute phantasms and chose cute? What the hell is wrong with you????" "te-he..." I tried to scratch my head cutely. "Don't te-he me, you imbecile!" he roared. "How the hell should I be your instructor when you can't even choose the basic skills that are suitable for fighting?!" "But the big wolf found the phantasm cute and was tamed." I smiled and showed him the hide of a deer I had placed in my inventory. "He even started hunting for me until I had enough and ran away." "..." The instructor was left speechless. Why did he have to babysit such a useless revenant? Couldn't he at least have someone with a bit more smartness? Why did he have to take care of this dorky mage??????

At Kanci High School, everyone knows Sato Tomo—the boy with an angel’s face and a carefree smile. Popular yet mysterious, Sato floats through life, charming everyone without ever getting too close. His delicate frame and soft blue eyes often make people mistake him for someone fragile, but Sato hides deeper emotions behind that playful exterior. He seems untouchable, always surrounded by friends and laughter, making it hard for anyone to get a glimpse of who he really is. Emma Rose, on the other hand, is the opposite. With her strikingly foreign appearance—blue hair and pink eyes—Emma stands out, but not in a way that wins her friends. Shy, introverted, and often the target of bullying, Emma hides behind books and manga, escaping to worlds where she can be brave and confident, unlike the quiet girl she is in reality. The only person who truly knows her is her best friend, Ino, a bold and outspoken tomboy who’s always had Emma’s back. When Emma accidentally walks into the wrong classroom one afternoon and finds herself face-to-face with Sato, her world shifts in ways she never expected. Sato, with his easy smile and kind words, surprises her. Could there be more to him than the popular boy everyone sees? As Emma begins to notice the loneliness hidden behind Sato’s cheerful mask, she realizes they may have more in common than she thought. But Sato has no interest in love or high school drama—he’s too focused on his hobbies and enjoying life to get caught up in romance. Emma, on the other hand, isn’t sure what to make of her growing feelings. As the two are drawn into each other's orbits, Emma finds herself questioning not only her own heart but also the boy behind the smile. In Love is Hard, the story follows Emma’s journey of discovering herself and trying to understand the complexities of Sato, all while navigating the chaos of high school life, friendships, and her own shy heart. Will Sato ever open up? And can Emma find the courage to step out of her shell?
