Lavinia Herbert

Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire. She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out. But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares. Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… So why does everything keep changing?

Betrayed by blood. Chosen by magic. Bound to rise. In a kingdom where witches are hunted and burned, Princess Natalya Kastillion was born to wear a crown until it was stolen by her younger brother. Betrayed by her family, and hunted for a power she was raised to despise, Natalya uncovers a buried truth: she is the last High Priestess of the triple goddess, destined to bring back the old religion her bloodline tried to erase. Now on the run, Natalya must harness her power, make allies and raise armies to reclaim not just her throne but to herald an era of magic. But her brother isn't the only threat. Duke Herbert Valendel, a powerful dark witch and master of forbidden magic, sees her rise as an opportunity to reshape the world in his image. As the court descends into shadows and ancient forces stir, Natalya must embrace a legacy of magic, war, and sacrifice... or watch her kingdom fall to a crown darker than her brother’s. Magic is forbidden. Her crown was stolen. But a queen is rising and the true battle has only begun.

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

The room was thick with the smell of wine. January 2025, Aezren leaned against the couch with wine in his hand, His eyes red like the sun during an eclipse, while his hair a chaotic Blonde framed his face with eerie elegance, hoping not to be disturbed by the screams of people. He was the Grim Reaper and the cause of people’s misfortunes, so it was only natural that he was embraced by screams day and night. Without a moment’s notice, he heard another person cursing him. “Not this again…” he groaned as he got up. He sipped his wine as he watched the drunk woman cursing him from the reflection on his wine. Lavinia stood on the parapet wall with high heels, ready to fall at any moment. Her red lipstick messed up, her skin a shade of bright olive, her hair had faded black hair dye, her eyes a shade of deep green, reminiscent of the forest. Her movements came out unstable as she screamed out, “Seems like all doom is attracted to me!” she laughed, tears rolled down her face. “I’m really not,” Aezren scoffed as he rolled his eyes. His eyes blew into saucers at a closer look at her face. “That face, it’s her!” he exclaimed. “I can’t let her die,” he pleaded with desperation as his “heart” raced. Aezren put his glass of wine back on the table with telekinesis as he stood up and teleported to Lavinia. However, it was already too late and she jumped off. Aezren jumped off of the terrace and held her in his arms as he floated in the air. He quickly took her back to the terrace before anybody could notice. Lavinia shut her eyes tight, hoping for the worst to happen—her death. She opened her eyes soon after she realized that she was on solid ground. “What is it,” she smiled, “Am I in heaven or hell?” she walked as she wondered. She was in her own world. “You’re in none,” Aezren told her, about to crash out at her obliviousness. But of course, she was half rat — drunk as hell. He let out a deep sigh. She didn’t listen. He recited some sort of spell, his index and middle finger pointed at her. Since alcohol has similar affects to being dead, it was easy enough for him to get her to be sober. She blinked in surprise. “Wh…Who are you?” she stammered, taking steps back defensively. “Be my muse.” He asked her. He has been searching for a her for over 4 centuries now. Having been living for so long, he has started making paintings to pass time. He has her face like a fuzzy faded painting in his head, and he has always struggled to capture her in his paintings. Finding her was a dream come true for him. She couldn’t die. Not before he painted her. Lavinia’s breath hitched. She was hit with nausea and dizziness. “Please.. please leave me alone!” She begged, her voice came out louder than she wanted it to. Aezren stared at her, his expression unreadable. “I didn’t save you because I care about your life,” he said, voice low. “I saved you because you have a face that doesn’t belong to this era.” Lavinia’s breath hitched again, her head spinning, “What the hell does that even mean…?” “I’ve seen you before. In dreams, in sketches, in brush strokes I never finished.” He sighed, “Centuries of searching. And suddenly, you’re on a rooftop, yelling about doom like some half-broken opera.” “You’re insane,” she whispered, backing away. He didn’t argue. “Probably,” he said with a shrug. “But I don’t care what you believe. You’re here. And I need to paint you before you disappear again.” Lavinia blinked, confusion and fear wrestling inside her. But something about him—his tone, his posture, the weird mix of detachment and obsession—made her pause. Her stomach flipped. The room still spun, but she wasn’t sure if it was just the wine anymore. “Okay,” she said slowly, swallowing hard. TW: Might include topics or references to Self harm.

Frank Herbert’s Dune stands as a monumental work in the science fiction genre, weaving an epic tale of politics, power, and survival set in a richly imagined distant future. At its core, the novel explores the complex interplay of ambition, ecology, religion, and human nature, all set against the backdrop of the desert planet Arrakis. One of the most striking strengths of Dune is its intricate world-building.

After seeking sanctuary in Harl for almost nine hundred years, Herbert Fletcher Zaeheri, the legendary vampire sets out on an exigent journey with Rao Yueru, the one and only prince of Roa to assist him in relieving his lost memories and to discover Roa's concealed enigma. Along their journey, Herbert discerns the silhouette of an old enemy in Zhea. Old memories began to resurface as he kept the secret only to himself to prevent the ultimate goal of this journey from going sideways. Herbert enjoys the sight of different creatures thriving under one kingdom, but one night, when Yueru did not return to their room, Herbert began to feel sceptical about the sovereign of Zhea, and he uncovers the anecdote of his greatest nemesis.

God forbid we win, then the worst will begin.

In the year 2078, an alien race known as the Kabu decended upon the earth. The Kabu's biology was far beyond the human race. Although the Kabu were fewer in numbers than the humans, their pure physical power, and harnessing of energy made the humans no match for the Kabu. This lead the human civilization to nearly be wiped out. Many governments conducted unethical experiments in hopes of finding a way to win the war. During these experiments an american scientist known as Herbert Horace, made a great discovery. He discovered that every human being has a dormant gene in their body.  This gene was that of an animal, but it was unlike the animals roaming in the wild. The animal genes in the human bodies were like those of ancient mythical beasts. Creatures with amazing abilities and attributes. He found a way bring this gene forth and grant a person the ability to shapeshift into their beastly form. It was a serum that latched onto the gene, bringing it to the surface. This was the true power of the human race. The people who gained these abilities became known as "Titans" and each had abilities and characteristics of their individual gene. Using this newfound power, the humans managed to push the Kabu race to eventually flee from the planet. After the war was over, what remained of the world was mearly 20% of what it previously was. However, due to the crisis, the entire planet had come together to fight a common enemy. Therefore, the world became one singular united nation. This new nation became known as, Horace. Named after the brilliant mind who single handedly turned the war around. The world was still on edge, since they never knew when the Kabu could return with greater advancements of their own. Because of this, the serum went public and it was discovered that once a person takes the serum it's inheritable, meaning, once every human had been injected, each person born from that point onward had the serum attached to their genome from birth. However, things quickly turned chaotic. Having little children turning into beasts and wreaking havoc was not preferable. Therefore, scientists developed a genome blockage device. This device was meant to block the titan genome from manifesting temporarily. Eventually, once students turn 16, they get their genome unblocked by their individual schools in order to get used to their abilities before the "Titan Academy" entrance exam. The first step to a future within the GTO. The Global Titan Organisation.

[COMPLETE] [MATURE CONTENT] [WEREWOLF X VAMPIRE] High-school student Theodor Turner, always too popular for his own good, starts a new life in snowy Alaska after losing both his parents. Then he meets Elizabeth King, a beautiful but cold teen who is about to uncover Theodor’s true identity and the reality of the world he lives in. Elizabeth is a pureblood vampire who dreams of changing her fate, and Theodor, who feels betrayed by the closest people around him, has to see how deep the rabbit hole takes him as he enters into a complicated relationship with his cold soulmate, and his werewolf betrothed. *** Images of Sophia shivering between my arms came into my vision. I squeezed my eyes shut. Glad no one around here could see that. I missed her. My eyes drifted left and right, the energy... that warm energy that swirled in my chest when I realized that I was about to see her was a familiar one now. It became familiar after the night we spent together. I took wider strides along the lawn to the side of the packhouse now, we were probably the last to arrive and I wasn't sure if it was intentional. I could detect their presence coming from the rear. Many, many Alphas. But I was eager to see one before I gathered up the information that they would be willing to share with me. I was a pureblood after all. No. This wasn't the correct way of thinking. I was a coveted monster. They wanted me on their side — All of them. I had to keep that in mind. Herbert was closely following me as I led the way inside the place I never walked through before. As soon as I came into their view, all eyes were on me. Great. The Alphas of the Northwest were standing around in a loose circle, I counted around twenty of them. Could there be this many packs in the Northwest alone? They were dressed in suits, mostly black. My navy one stood out. But my Rolex didn't. Someone else stood out as well. She was standing in the middle of the loose circle, her father had a protective arm around her waist. She was talking to my brother and the other guy whose wolf was silver. I needed to get his name and memorize it at one point. Her aura, a lot like my brother's, was a brilliant red now. But I could easily ignore that, just the way she was easily ignoring me. She could ignore me all she wanted, I wasn't done looking at her back in that dress. The dress was backless. There was only a… crisscross something I couldn't name that held the dress around her neck. She had her hair tied up instead of leaving it down to provide some coverage. The dress looked as if it would feel silky to the touch. I was planning on finding out soon. It was burning red too. And I thought pink was her favorite color… Was she planning on looking this provocative each time I saw her? Did I have to be that guy who talked about these things with his girlfriend? When all of the men around her started looking at me. Her neck hung down a bit, surrendering. That's right, now look at me too. She adjusted her posture, and amongst all the beating of the werewolves' hearts, I could swear I heard hers fluttering as she turned sinfully slow. She looked like a sin on two legs. *** Two bonds, no NTR. The cover is mine, artist's discord: callmeotooosan#2412 Daily updates. Chapters are between 1900-2300 words each.

La máquina del tiempo (The Time Machine) es una novela de ficción del escritor británico Herbert George Wells, publicada por primera vez en Londres en el año 1895 por William Heinemann. Consta de dieciséis capítulos y un epílogo. Al contrario que Julio Verne, padre del detalle y la explicación minuciosa, Wells describe (a propósito) la máquina de modo superficial y a la ligera, con algunas pinceladas de color (como cuando comenta que tenía partes de metal, cristal de roca y marfil), que dejan al lector con curiosidad por saber más del invento y su mecanismo.

Lavina and Leonora Loriel are cousins, but they have never met before!! Lavinia is from the noble Main House in the Western Capital, and Leonora is from a branch family who run the Clan's mining interests, on the other side of the Empire in the Eastern Mountains. Follow their adventures as they join forces, and go away to the greatest Magic Academy in the Empire... Find out how Lavinia got involved in the greatest intrigue of her life, which led to her betraying the Empire, and siding with the Islanders in the Centenary War... The birth of the legend of the Sea Witch!! Also meet Leonora's first love, which leads to her greatest happiness, and her greatest sadness... Watch as the Wind Rose scatters the petals of her suitors. Author's Note: When I saw the writing prompt 'Academy', it seriously tweeked my plot bunny, and this prequel story came into being. I always wanted to give the reader more backstory of Lavinia and Leonora's past, but I didn't want to end up with too many flashbacks in the main story of 'The Sea Witch'. This isn't a day-to-day story, I intend to pick out the most important events, that take place over the five years they spend at the Empire Mage Academy. As a result, chapters will often start with a narration, which will cover any time skips, and set up the chapter.

"I called you out here because I want to know why you're against me and Herb getting...married" Lavinia admitted. "I never said that I was." Rose denied. "You didn't have to, every time that Herb and I were about to have a conversation you just shut it down" Lavinia said. "Do you really have no idea why?" Rose challenged. "Because you don't like me." Lavinia sighed. Suddenly, Lavinia found herself with her back against the column and Rose right in front of her holding her against it, Rose's face so close to her own that if she just leaned forward a tiny bit they would be...kissing. "Because you promised me that I was the one you were going to marry" Rose whispered into Lavinia's ear.
