The cause was standing right in front of him with a small smile on his face. "What did we do to upset you? We have done nothing wrong!" The man looked down on him, stepped on his face and spoke ever so playful,"It's just a little bit of casual trolling and tomfoolery. Nothing much hehehehehe." "But it doesn't matter anyway, should you reincarnate, don't bother exacting revenge." He finished off. "No! You're an evil that needs to..."

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)

Z was born into darkness—both literal and metaphorical. Blind yet cursed with an uncanny ability, he’s a survivor in a world teetering on the edge of madness. After a catastrophic encounter with destruction left him scarred, Z became bound to the Ladder, a nightmarish construct governed by gods, entities, and unnameable existences. The rules are simple: climb or perish. Each rung brings Z closer to unfathomable truths—and further into danger. Among Climbers with extraordinary powers and sinister agendas, Z must move in treacherous alliances, decode the cryptic whispers of the gods, and face scenarios designed to test the limits of sanity. But as lies swirl and the unknown beckons, Z realizes something darker than survival lies at the Ladder’s peak: an answer to the scars he bears, the truth of his cursed path, and a confrontation with the incomprehensible forces pulling the strings. In a world where trust is as fleeting as the air you breathe, Z must embrace the Chaos within to become what he was destined to be—the Warden of Chaos. Enter a realm where lies are currency, and survival is the ultimate gamble.

Once an unwanted heiress sacrificed to the secretive and ruthless Brightwell family, Celeste forced herself to become something she could never imagined herself to be. A shark.

Yet, the more she navigates through these familiar yet treacherous waters, the more she discovers just how little she truly understands. And in this life, three men from her past emerge in ways she could never have foreseen: Avond Brightwell (28) the man she once loved so deeply that he became her voice and her world. But as hidden layers reveal themselves, Celeste begins to wonder—was Avond the man she thought he was? Or is he something far more dangerous? Tiel Brightwell (22) the one who once despised her, mocked her silence, and later fathered her only child. Now, he seems capable of kindness and perhaps even love, but Celeste can’t forget the pain he caused. Will she forgive him, or will she let go of who she was to destroy him? Even when he had not committed the crimes he committed in the past? Gen Callisto (23) the shadow from her sister’s stories, is a self-made millionaire with a tragedy looming in his future. Drawn to him in unexpected ways, Celeste must decide if she can save him from the darkness, or let him perish with the rest. As Celeste battles between love, loyalty, and the desire for vengeance, she faces a final question: will she remain the person she was before and let her new life take its course? Or will she let the hurt of her past turn her heart cold? After all, what better vengeance than to come back with the heart of a shark? -------- Disclaimer: The story begins with Celeste's first life— so please stay tuned because it will be worth it!
