Serenity Jayne Cobb

She is softness incarnate-a quiet melody of grace, kindness, and unshakable calm. He is a storm of sharp tempers and restless fury, a man whose heart beats to a darker, more dangerous tune. Their worlds could not be more different, yet they collide together in a dance where tenderness meets tension, and chaos collides with serenity. In a moment of collision, her gentle spirit unravels the walls he's built to guard his heart. He's torn between the fire of his nature and the velvet warmth of her touch. She sees beauty in the beast that others fear, while he finds solace in her unspoken strength. Together, they ignite a love that is fierce and consuming, yet as delicate as the rhythm that keeps it alive. In a story of passion and vulnerability, "Rhythm of Velvet" explores the power of tenderness to tame even the wildest of hearts, and the fierce strength it takes to embrace the music of love.

Follow the story and rise of a warrior from a family that once ruled the mighty Roman Empire, but after centuries now on another continent, he needs to establish himself as the man who will unify what the Western Romans created in the New World. Augustus Theodosius Maximus will face great enemies such as the frenchs, english, spanish and even the prussians.This alternative history takes place in the 18th century and 19th century , in which what would be the current United States, Mexico, Canada and Cuba, would be the Caesarian Empire that lasted from 486 to 1648, when the province of New Rome was taken by the Dutch and a few years later sold to the English and establishing territories in the former Caesarian provinces, leaving only a few Caesarian states made of buffer states such as the Grand Duchy of New Ravenna (state of Florida in real life), the Serene Republic of Londinium (state of Alabama in real life) and the Praetorian Confederacy (state of Tennessee in real life).So expect a series of upheavals, coups d'état and revolutions in the Caesarean provinces lost to the Europeans, as the period of reunification will last from 1772 until 1815.

In the vibrant, untamed world of Aetheria, Beasts and humans coexist, their lives intertwined by the mystical energy of Aether Cores and Crystals. Beasts thrive in diverse ecosystems—from the serene grasslands to stormy highlands—drawing strength from their surroundings, while humans harness the elemental power of Aether through runic technology and emotional bonds with their Beast companions. Yet, this balance is threatened as whispers of ancient conflicts and a dangerous resurgence of corrupted Aether energy emerge. Eighteen-year-old Kael, a determined explorer with a deep empathy for Beasts, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his father, a renowned researcher who vanished in the depths of ancient Aetherian ruins. Armed with his father’s journal, maps from his cartographer mother, and the companionship of his loyal Beast Flamorin (fire/light), Kael ventures into uncharted territories, seeking answers to mysteries buried by time. Joined by Aria, a brilliant strategist and researcher with a passion for preserving Aetheria’s ecosystems, and Dax, a bold and competitive Beast tamer striving to prove himself, Kael's journey becomes one of camaraderie, growth, and discovery. Together, they uncover ancient secrets of Aetheria's past, face powerful elemental Beasts, and encounter rival tamers who seek to exploit Aether for power. As they navigate the ruins of a lost civilization, the trio unravels a chilling truth: an enigmatic figure from Aetheria's history is using corrupted Aether energy to resurrect the catastrophic events of an ancient war. To stop this looming threat, Kael and his friends must forge stronger bonds with their Beasts, master the art of resonance, and unlock hidden evolutionary paths fueled by trust and emotional synergy. In a race against time, Kael learns the true meaning of connection—not just with Beasts, but with the people and world around him. But as the final battle looms, one question remains: will their unity be enough to restore balance to Aetheria, or will the resurgence of corruption tear their world apart?

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??????

Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did.
