The revelations uncovered during the mission force him to question everything he has ever believed in.

The Pond that Absorbed Me

I wish this story had more readers, cuz the ML is hilariously self- devastating jerk on a survival mission with gorgeous company he doesn’t care about. They shared constellations earlier, but now light-years separated their ‘whispered’ wishes… *** In a moment of unforeseen Fate, a young man reaches into the icy waters, but with a sudden, forceful pull, he is drawn into its depths. Now shrouded in the Darkness he endures his imprisonment there. “Reconnecting with an old friend is like finding a lost jade—if only it were worth the trouble.” Xiǎo Fù, The Servant. *** Meanwhile, in the secluded monastery the Great Master’s rage ignites when his servant vanishes. Four days of torment, anger, and longing leave every monk wishing for their own end… until an unexpected visitor comes. “Your Stupidity is the Yin to Wisdom’s Yang. Keeps the balance, you know.” Xījiǎo Yùshén, The Water Master. *** At this very time, the Prince suffers distress by the grief of loss, spending his days in drunken mourning in order to dull the pain. He doesn't have any desire to cling to life anymore, but being immortal, he cannot just die. “Eternity? Like waiting for a thousand cherry blossoms to bloom—one by one.” Mùnchén, The Second Prince. *** Forbidden practices, Heavenly secrets, Fate’s defiance and the Realms on the brink of War.

According to this lore, all Realms share a common origin, and their Fates are intertwined. Realms are destined to coexist as one. Here, no hierarchy prevails—no masters, no slaves. Instead, Realms harmonize, their existence interwoven threads. Should the Balance falter, Chaos looms, and the Abyss threatens to swallow everything. Yet, when the Abyss fully absorbs the Realms, the Celestial Source establishes a new Cycle of Life, and brings new Realms to coexist. But even if the Abyss is undeniable, a hope remains, for within the same Source that birthed the Abyss lies an indomitable Force—a Guardian, the One, born to confront, combat, and seal it. Thus, the current Realms gain their chance at survival. *** PS This story was planned long ago, but life is life, so I only decided to share it within online community now.

Shan'titon High: Beyond The Gaze

[MATURE CONTENTS, STRICTLY 18+ RATED, PREJUDICE, RACISM INJUSTICE, BL] The allure of dangerous attractions refused to be neglected, and distractions chosen to be explored can lead one into harmful patterns, entrapping him in cycles of addiction, difficult to escape. —---- In the turbulent times of the 1960s, Tommy Jones set off from his small town in Kentucky to Tennessee, instructed by his mother and the turns of life to retrieve his father's possessions, his rightful inheritance as heir to Barnaby Jones, as he was made to believe by his mother. Being denied his inheritance by his 'father's' friend, he was put to the test: "Show me you're more than just a colored kid claiming a white man's legacy. Get good grades, demonstrate your worth, and then we'll discuss your father's properties." Now, situated among all whites and being the only black student, Tommy was mocked. That's a lie! You can't be the son of a white man, talk more Sir Barnaby Jones. You're...a Negro. It's not possible! How could he get the privilege to join the great Shan'titon High School? He doesn't belong here! Just look at his skin sticking out like a sore thumb—peewww! Tommy was better off being poor yet happy with his fellow street brothers at home in Kentucky than being here among rich white kids who had nothing good to say to him. Well, except for… for one Benjamin Sherlock! Benjamin Sherlock, the devil son of a reputable man of the city, is a top senior in Shan'titon High, a gem of the school, the hottest of the school, yet the most vile! He cares less about anyone, he's known for his nasty self, wickedness, and rudeness! But does he give a damn? No! Tommy gets to know that he needs this guy to successfully get through this school, for protection and all. What's more, this guy seems to know his 'father' Barnaby Jones! He could really be of good help, but as they say, distractions and attractions can be very disadvantageous. Tommy is stuck in an entrapping master (Head Honcho) and servant (Host) relationship with Benjamin, standing as the epitome of pleasure, the giver of bittersweet addiction, and the full emblem of intimacy and lust! Tommy is caught up in this distraction in human form, and his actions stand as an attraction. Could this lead to love, or will it die as just a game? Benjamin: "Tommy Lee, the name fits you like a glove." Tommy: "How'd you figure that out, huh? That that's my whole first name, man?" Benjamin: "I know a thing or two, Kitten." Benjamin knows something Tommy should not know—about his father, about his past, his identity, and about his birth. And he is willing to hide it, or could he? Could he when his intentions are being doubted and he is being put to the test? Benjamin: "Kitty cat." Tommy: "Yeah, man?" Benjamin: "Let's say, just saying, Barnaby Jones isn't your old man. What then?" Tommy: "Lawdy, how can that be? Hahaha! If it ain't him, then who in the world would be my old man?" Benjamin: "A man with a reputation bigger than the whole dadgum state of Tennessee and Kentucky combined. Just sayin'.” (Update Time is irregular currently until further notice 2 - 5 chapters daily) A/N: Send A Message Through Reviews And Comments.

Tides and Longing: 잊혀진 파도의 속삭임

***BEST ON TRUE LIFE STORY OF THE AUTHOR*** "Tides and Longing" was born—a tale of whispered confessions, salt-kissed kisses, and the ache of love that defied time. In its pages, I sought solace, rewriting destiny with ink and hope. And maybe, just maybe, our seashells would find each other again, washed ashore by forgotten waves. In the quiet alleys of a coastal city, where the scent of salt and memories linger, two hearts once danced to the rhythm of childhood laughter. But life, relentless and unpredictable, wove their fates into a bittersweet tapestry. **Noh Da-Hyun**, with her sun-kissed cheeks and dreams as vast as the ocean, cherished her childhood friend, **Yoo Jeong**, with an innocence only youth could hold. Their days were a symphony of shared secrets, scraped knees, and stolen glances. Yet, when Da-Hyun's family whisked her away, the waves swallowed their laughter, leaving behind echoes of what could have been. Years flowed like tides, and Da-Hyun found herself entangled in a different love—a love that consumed her, body and soul. The boy from her high school, whose eyes held galaxies, became her universe. But love, capricious and cruel, betrayed her. He whispered goodbye, and the stars shattered. Six years later, Da-Hyun returned to Seoul, her heart a fragile seashell. The city had changed, yet the sea remained constant, its waves a lullaby of forgotten promises. And there, amidst the whispers of salt and longing, she discovered that Jeong move abroad, leaving behinda trail of memories. But fate, ever the weaver of intricate patterns, played its hand once more. Jeong returned, not as the boy who shared her secrets, but as a stranger with memories etched into his eyes. His laughter no longer echoed through the narrow streets; instead, it lingered in the gaps between their unspoken words. Da-Hyun's heart, like a compass drawn to true north, still pointed toward Jeong. Her secret crush bloomed anew, petals fragile as morning dew. Yet, he stood on a different shore, holding hands with another—a girl whose laughter painted sunsets. Their encounters were fleeting, like seagulls skimming the water's surface. Jeong's eyes held a thousand apologies, and Da-Hyun's heart whispered a thousand what-ifs. They were strangers with memories, two souls adrift in the same sea, yet unable to bridge the distance. As the moon waxed and waned, Da-Hyun clung to hope. Perhaps love was not a single tide but an eternal ebb and flow. Perhaps, just perhaps, their story could find a different ending—one where the waves carried them back to each other. "Tides and longing" is a tale of love lost and found, of salt-kissed kisses and the ache of unspoken confessions. Can Da-Hyun and Jeong rewrite their destiny, or will they remain like seashells—beautiful, but forever apart? May the tides of longing guide them toward a shore where memories intertwine with hope, and where love, against all odds, finds its way home.
