[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] "What if everything went exactly as we wanted it to? But then, if everything in life went as planned, what fun would that be?" _____ Pretty, chubby, and innocent 23-year-old Cordae has always dreamt of living a stress-free, long life. Creating a beautiful life for herself has been her ultimate goal, but it turns out that even a "beautiful life" is as expensive as anything else in this world, as she can't even afford a beautiful life as well as a long one. Cordae is terminally ill and is sure to die anytime soon. But regardless of that fact, she's determined to fulfill her dreams of making a beautiful life for herself, even if it's just for a little while. She's equally hell-bent on wanting to know what "loving someone romantically" feels like and is resolute in her determination to experience such. Her life suddenly takes a surprising turn as she crosses paths with Liam Xander; a 28-year-old, cold-hearted, business tycoon who grew up with the mentality that "love" is nothing but a word that comprises of four letters. But that made him the one for Cordae. Liam perfectly fits the description of whom she wants, as she doesn't actually want anyone to fall for her or anything of that sort; all thanks to the fear of leaving them all alone when she eventually dies, but wants to love someone romantically in order to at least, fulfill one of her numerous dreams. Their totally distinct worlds collide. The mysteries surrounding Liam will slowly be uncovered. Will Cordae be able to handle whatever Liam throws at her? Will Liam be able to see that "love" isn't just a 4-lettered-word? Will they be able to overcome whatever comes their way? ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ PS - Cover photo NOT mine. Photo credits to the rightful owner.

I really thought that—I have no superpowers. Usually at the age of 16, that is when it would start to manifest to every individual living on Earth. But nothing happened with mine—Zero, Nada, Zilch. I've turned 16, 17 until 22, still nothing. So I thought that I'm the only anomaly, in a world full of heroes and villains with superpowers, from a kid displaying monstrous strength to a girl that can control every hair in her body. And I mean every hair. Ahem. I'm always alone, no friends, no parents... only massive debts. I work like a dog everyday as if it's my last, never even thought about daydreaming about anything. That is a luxury that is alien to me. Later I found out, dreaming is my superpowers. I can turn it to reality. But here is the catch... I'm not that.... creative.?

In a kingdom scorched by the sun and ruled by blood and fear, Nyx was meant to die. The fire should have claimed her, just as it did her family. Instead, she was spared—only to be caged in a nightmare far worse than death. Raised as the reluctant ward of a ruthless general, she became his slave, his heir, and ultimately, his executioner. But no one knows the truth. No one suspects the girl with fire in her veins and a bow on her back. They only see the obedient knight. Then she meets him. Emris is a phantom in the desert, a ghost that whispers of rebellion. He walks like a prince but wears the skin of a traitor. The leader of a fractured resistance, he is a man of quiet cruelty and unspoken burdens, wielding blood as both a weapon and a curse. He leads the rebels seeking to overthrow the ruthless king. A warrior with the power to command blood, he is a ghost of the past—one he does not remember. Mysterious, calculating, and feared, he fights for freedom, unaware that his lineage ties him to the throne he despises. When their paths collide, they are enemies, destined to destroy each other. But destiny does not care for their hatred. It does not care that they stand on opposite sides of a war that will drown the sands in red. The past is clawing its way back to life, and soon, the truth will rise with it. The lost prince. The fireborn knight. The king who kills with death itself. Who will burn and bleed in a game where power is survival and love is the cruelest weapon?

Have you ever how the 'unique quest chains' are born, how 'mega-rare super-items' just drop out of thin air, and why every random minor character in the starting village is a hidden expert? I am the reason. I am the silently curshing ghost ofthe machine running cogs of 'secret quests', the plot-driving device of destiny, the shepherd to the millions of players that just KNOW that every stone holds a unique opportunity for loot, lore and skills. I am a sole Admin of the greatest DMMO-RPG, partialy AI and a man who holds the great responsibility overseeing the life of the game... With a slight problem though. The game was destroyed a week before it's start. Completely. So now there is no game. There are players, me and million of cheap tricks I honed in my life for the single goal of proving to all of you, that... This game definitely does exist. --- First of all, I post this book on my Patreon. 18 chapters of this book are there - for 3$ it's all yours... Though, of course, I will be posting it for free on this site too. Except I first post them on my Patreon - so now 1 chapter is here - and 19 are there. When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!

For centuries, witches and vampires have been sworn enemies-a truth written in blood and history. Witches exist to eradicate vampires, and vampires exist to devour witches. Selene Vatore, a cold, breathtakingly beautiful vampire, has spent her immortal life alone. She has no heart, no mercy, and no weaknesses. That is, until she meets Eloise. Eloise D'Angelis, a brilliant and powerful witch, was raised to hate vampires. She was supposed to lead her coven into war. But when she finds herself at death's door, the last thing she expects is a vampire saving her. Selene and Eloise were never meant to cross paths. They were never meant to fall in love. And they were never meant to be together. Because their love is killing them. Eloise grows weaker by the day, her magic unraveling. Selene feels something foreign stirring in her chest-a beating heart, the curse of mortality. Their love makes them feel alive for the first time... but it is also their slow, inescapable death. With a war looming, a council hunting them, and time slipping through their fingers, they must make an impossible choice: Let go of each other to survive... or hold on and perish together.

For centuries, magic shaped the world—building empires, forging legends, and defining the balance of power. But now, the arcane fades, its strength waning as technology rises to take its place. Ancient spells are forgotten, enchanted relics turn to dust, and the last sorcerers struggle to hold onto a power that no longer belongs in this world. Amid the chaos of war and oppression, Ronan Vale, a warrior once betrayed, seeks vengeance. But his journey for retribution leads him to a far greater truth—one that ties his fate to a dying magic and the relentless march of progress. As warlords and rulers embrace the new age of steel and machines, Ronan must choose: cling to the past, or carve a future where neither magic nor technology alone decides the fate of humanity. In a world where gods have fallen silent, sorcery is breathing its last, and war machines dominate the battlefield, Ronan stands at the crossroads of history. Will he be the final witness to magic’s demise, or the force that reshapes destiny itself? The age of magic is over. The age of iron has begun.

Synopsis: The Dying Star The Heart of Aetheris has kept the world alive for centuries, a celestial force binding magic, life, and destiny. But something is wrong. The Heart is fading—or worse, it’s being devoured. Kael, a smuggler with no allegiance to kings or gods, never wanted to be a hero. But when a dying monk stumbles into his path, whispering a cryptic warning of a broken Heart and a coming doom, Kael is thrust into a war he doesn’t understand. Across the shattered empire, Prince Dain, the Hollow King, rises from exile, wielding a power that should not exist. He believes the only way to break the cycle of suffering is to shatter the Heart completely—to burn away the old world and forge something new. But the entity that granted him his power is not done with him yet. As empires fall and Hollowborn warriors spread their corruption, Kael must join forces with the exiled empress Vaeloria, the rogue star-mage Lysara, and a Hollowborn knight clinging to the last fragments of his humanity. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the Heart’s decay before Dain’s war consumes everything. But some truths were meant to stay buried. And some stars are meant to die.

I think the story will be interesting, but I may lack a bit in grammar since it's my first time writing and its not my native language.

They say every villain is the hero of their story… They are wrong! There is no such thing as heroes and villains, there is just evil. Evil, cruelty, that’s all I know, that's the only thing the world has shown me… Maybe I am wrong… Just maybe there is more to this world, other than the evil and cruelty I was forced to endure, but that doesn’t really matter anymore. A man is a mirror of the world he has been exposed to… Since I have seen the greatest evil the world has to offer, it is only natural I show the world evil in return. Hello there, I am Lucius Blackwell, let me tell you why I became the greatest villain of all time…
