When the gods left the earth, they ascended to heaven. However, there were those who stayed behind, and they came to be called dragons. In time, the souls of the humans began to desire the unlimited power that would have kept them at the top of the tower of power. So the dragons disappeared from the earth's vastness. The humans' short leash on each other destroyed the era of harmony and began a period of wars and losses. The years would pass, and it would all come to nothing. But the wave which rose in the past will some day reach the coast with the tempest. One day, while collecting herbs, the adepts found a block of ice in a cave with an unknown man chained to it. When he came to, he realised that it had been more than a year since the last time he had remembered anything. Long forgotten by everyone, he begins to search for the memories lost to time. Little by little, he became the man of whom the prophets spoke — the man who would lower the rope of the guillotine over the heads of the sinners who thought they were Gods.

In Elyria, avians live eternally, their wings symbolize their divine nature.

‘My enemy, my friend, my love, my pain. He was everything and more to me. My protector and my warden. Most importantly, especially for you, he was my leash.’ ________ Ísar Jovevski, the King of Ogronevia. Praised as a good king, a blessing from the gods, a mighty king. Kind and benevolent king. The greatest King in the kingdom’s history, never mind that his bloody ascension was a bad omen. A man holding a darkness that could consume him as well as everyone around him, if not for his childhood friends. If not for his love for Xinghua Li. Imperial Son Li Xinghua of the Qianlong Empire. A prince, a martial artist, a warrior and Ísar’s childhood friend. The only person in the world that was able to make Ísar nervous and stumble over his words. He loved him. A kind of love where he could not breathe nor exist if the other were not in his life. The kind of love where one’s heart jumped to the throat from a mere smile. The kind of love that turned into a double-edged sword. Where if it were lost—no—broken, the pieces would harm all. And none could’ve avoided the cuts of its shards. _______________ [Excerpt] The shores were stained with thick, black blood. The stench of rotten corpses filled the air as the ocean’s breeze swept over his kneeling form. Ísar stared at the endless void that was the ocean. He barely registered the tears running down his cheeks as he watched the sun rise. The celestial source slowly moved high above his little kingdom and Ísar continued to stare. The screams coming from behind him were muffled background noise. “My King! My King, please! Please spare me!” He didn’t know who that was. The voice was familiar but nothing came to mind. It didn’t matter, in the end. Nothing truly mattered anymore. He squeezed the old and worn out plush toy close to his chest. The fabric was tearing and the little ox toy had never looked uglier. He stared down at it and with a sad smile and teary voice, he said, “You don’t smell like him anymore. Nothing smells like him anymore. Please come back. Please. I miss you, my big star. I miss you.” _________ Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe and Gothic Themes [FKRV is a tragedy fantasy romance with both positive (found family, childhood friends, first loves) and negative themes (loss, grief, loneliness, suicidal ideation, murder). There will also be more mature chapters in the future which I’ll put a R18 warning for. Happy reading!]

This is a story about me. Where we begin the story, I have no name. There is nothing in my memories of love. There has only ever been fear. Alpha. Omega. Beta. The three sub genders after the standard Male and Female. The world I live in there was also a hierarchy between each sub gender except for Betas. Betas would be the normal, everyday, average human. The majority of the gender society. They are not affected by pheromones, and their own are not strong enough to affect others. Betas, like the other two sub genders, can be male or female. When you get to Alphas, you have dominant Alphas and Alphas that are closer to Beta in behavior, called submissive Alphas. Dominant Alphas are more possessive, stronger, and a tad faster than a submissive one. That does not mean that the submissive Alphas are a push over. They just tend to be more on the quieter side. However, no matter the hierarchy, get two Alphas together that are fighting over dominance and the submissive can be just as dangerous as the dominate. Alphas in general are the ruling class now. They are the CEOs, lawyers, world leaders, even the most of the sport professionals and actors. This brings us to Omegas. The lowest class. Though times have changed, the old ways of looking down towards Omegas, is still very much everywhere you look. Omegas who were once only caged and leashed by their respective Alpha as an item and nothing more; are now allowed to work and go to school. The schools still tend to keep Omegas separate from the Alphas to prevent accidents from happening and most places of employment would rather hire an Alpha or Beta. Omegas tend to not usually have a dominant gene in their body, making them easy targets for the illegal trade. The world slangs them as Breeders. Oh, did I mention that the males, who are very rare, can also get pregnant? *Please note I may have uploaded this on my old account under a different name here but no longer have access to that account. I am rewriting this story and more. *

In the bustling heart of the city, there lived a woman named Lily, a connoisseur of novels. She devoured books like a gourmet savoring fine wine but was notably dismissive of certain genres. BL, Yuri, BDSM, Yaoi, and NTR were, in her opinion, the indulgences of others. She couldn't fathom the appeal of such narratives, preferring the depths of mystery and the heights of adventure. One fateful afternoon, while sipping her latte in a quaint cafe, Lily's world took an unexpected turn. Across the table sat her long-lost friend, Emily. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and they stumbled upon their shared passion for reading novels. Emily, with a mischievous glint in her eye, confessed her love for the very genres that Lily had always scorned. Lily's polite smile masked her discomfort as she pretended to share in Emily's enthusiasm. She couldn't bear to admit her disinterest in those scandalous narratives, so she simply nodded and said, "Oh, I like them too." As she walked home later that day, lost in her thoughts, an incident changed her life forever. A small, frightened puppy dashed across the road, its leash dragging perilously behind it. Acting on instinct, Lily reached out and snatched the rope, pulling the pup to safety. But as she did, her world twisted into chaos. A thunderous crash, the deafening roar of a truck, and then... darkness. When Lily regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital room, bewildered and disoriented. Something was amiss. The world outside her window had transformed. The people passing by, the TV shows playing, the conversations in the corridor – they all revolved around BL, Yuri, NTR, BDSM, and Yaoi. Lily was trapped in a world where the very genres she had scorned had become her reality. As Lily navigated this new, bewildering world, she found herself embroiled in tangled relationships and dramatic love affairs that defied her understanding. With each passing day, she grappled with the bizarre twists and turns of this surreal existence. Along the way, she forged unexpected bonds, learned to appreciate the complexities of love, and questioned her preconceived notions about literature and life.

[COMPLETE - SILVER $8,000USD WINNER: Werewolf Competition 2022] Zev prowled towards her, all shining, brutal beauty, his chin low and those incredible, piercing eyes fixed on her. He didn’t stop until they were toe-to-toe and he blocked her view of every other male in the circle. His eyes dipped to her mouth as he leaned in, his whisper playing on her skin. “You. Are. Mine.” His deep voice twanged in her belly as the howls of the wolf pack rose from behind him to echo across the mountains of Thana, while the other Chimera protested his claim. Fighting the urge to stroke his broad, bare chest with her shaking hands, Sasha forced herself to tilt her head and raise an eyebrow. “So bold for a pup who just found his fangs.” The other males roared with laughter. Ignoring their taunts, Zev’s eyes sparked and he leaned even closer, the scruff on his jaw tickling her cheek as he smiled. “So bold for a human who already knows the pleasure of gasping my name.” She shivered when his teeth grazed her ear. ***** Just days after Sasha gave herself to her childhood love, he disappeared. Five years later, on a dark city street, Zev came back—with danger on his tail. Zev is Chimera: Half-human, half-wolf. Made in a secure research lab, his existence is a secret.
