Charlie Blackwood

DANDELIONs

In a world where everyone around her shines, **Lily Williams** has always been the invisible one. The middle child in a family of extraordinary talents—her father, a renowned artist; her mother, a celebrated actress; and her sisters, a prodigy pianist and a rising supermodel—Lily feels like a dandelion in a garden of roses: ordinary, overlooked, and easily forgotten. But beneath her unassuming exterior lies a sharp mind and a quiet strength, honed by years of blending into the background and observing the secrets others try to hide. **Eden Blackwood** is the man who has it all. Born into a family of bankers, he broke away to build his own tech empire, determined to prove he’s more than just a “rich boy.” Handsome, successful, and perpetually in the spotlight, Eden is the epitome of charm—but his playboy persona hides a deeper truth. For six years, he’s been in a secret relationship with Lily’s sister, Clara, a decision made to protect her career but one that has left him questioning what he truly wants. When a scandalous misunderstanding forces Eden and Lily into a marriage neither of them wants, their lives are turned upside down. Lily, tired of being overlooked, begins to step out of the shadows, unaware that her newfound confidence will set off a chain of events that will change everything. Eden, torn between his loyalty to Clara and his growing curiosity about Lily, finds himself drawn to the woman he once dismissed as ordinary. But as secrets unravel and jealousies ignite, the fragile bond between Eden and Lily is tested. Clara, desperate to reclaim what she believes is hers, orchestrates a media storm that threatens to destroy them all. Amidst the chaos, Lily must decide whether to fight for the love she never expected or walk away from the man who once saw her as invisible. *Dandelions* is a story of second chances, self-discovery, and the transformative power of love. It’s about finding beauty in the ordinary, strength in vulnerability, and the courage to bloom where you’re planted—even when the world tries to overlook you. **Tone & Style:** - **Emotional**: Deeply character-driven, with a focus on internal struggles and growth. - **Dramatic**: High-stakes conflicts, misunderstandings, and betrayals. - **Romantic**: A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of tension

The Extra's Transcension

For as long as he could remember, life had always been cruel. A young man in his early twenties—his name now lost to the past—was dealt a life filled with misfortunes. A cold, empty apartment, a soul-crushing job, and, finally, a terminal diagnosis. With nothing left to live for, his only comfort had been escaping into the fictional world of Path of the Elemental Sage, a story of heroes, magic, and survival. But fate had other plans. When death finally came for him, he didn’t fade into nothingness. Instead, he awoke in the world he had only read about—a world of chaos and danger where death lurked around every corner. The air smelled of magic, the sky was filled with possibilities. {«[Status Window]»} [Name: Lyrium Blackwood] [Age: 16] [Rank: D-] [Skills: None] [Elements: None} At first, confusion filled his mind. Who was Lyrium Blackwood? Why was he here? And why did this body feel so different? But as his memories returned, so did the realization: this wasn’t some blessing or second chance. He wasn’t reincarnated as the protagonist. No destined savior. No cheat abilities. No grand fate. He was just another mob, a face in the crowd meant to exist and die without leaving a mark. But this young man—the one who had left his old name and life behind—wasn’t the kind of person to roll over and accept his fate. “This world is dangerous. The protagonist isn’t the only one fighting for survival here,” he muttered, his red eyes deep and sharp. Unlike the naïve characters in the story, he knew the stakes. He’d read the web novel. He’d seen the carnage, the betrayals, the disasters that wiped out entire cities. And if there was one thing he refused to be, it was a pawn in someone else’s game. “I don’t care about glory. I don’t care about saving the world. All I care about is surviving—no matter what it takes.” Lyrium Blackwood wasn’t planning to live quietly or avoid danger. The only way to survive in this brutal world was to rise to the top. To be strong enough to stand above both heroes and villains. Using his knowledge of the story’s events and his iron will, Lyrium sets out on a relentless path to surpass the protagonist. Whether through clever manipulation, brutal training, or sheer desperation, he’ll climb higher and higher, leaving nothing to chance. But the deeper he gets, the more he realizes that this isn’t just the story he once read. As fate pushes him closer to the heart of the narrative, Lyrium begins to suspect that his reincarnation wasn’t an accident—and the world itself might be watching him. “I don’t care who or what stands in my way. If the story wants to kill me, I’ll rewrite the ending myself.” ---------------------------------- I apologize for any mistakes in this story, as it’s my first attempt at writing a novel. ---------------------------------- Chapter Update Schedule: (5/7) ---------------------------------- As the story has been vetted, readers can support me with Power Stones: PS – Power Stone 100 PS = 1 Extra Chapter 200 PS = 2 Extra Chapters 300 PS = 3 Extra Chapters ---------------------------------- Special thanks to @fallen_angel_26 for the amazing novel cover art, which I modified by changing only the hair color. :) ---------------------------------- Join the discord server to discuss about the novel with other readers and Author.

Wraithbound Chronicles

In the decaying heart of the Aureline Dominion, Karl Redhouse is no longer a forgotten background figure—he is the reluctant hero cursed with Return by Death. Each time death claims him, he is reborn at a predetermined “save point,” trapped in an endless cycle of loss and renewal. For centuries, this cruel fate has forced him to witness countless lives, battles, and betrayals, each rebirth etching deeper scars on his soul. But as the ruins of his crumbling world echo with the secrets of the past, Karl begins to suspect that his curse might also hold the key to his liberation. Driven by a desperate need to break the cycle, Karl embarks on a perilous journey through the forgotten districts of the Dominion. Guided by an ancient tome and the cryptic prophecy of an event known as the Eclipse of the Eternal, he delves into ruined temples and secret sanctuaries where the ancient magics of Curse and Spirit intermingle. With each step, he confronts the duality of his nature—balancing the destructive power of his Curse magic with the transcendent force of Spirit magic—in hopes of unearthing a way to rewrite his destiny. Parallel to Karl’s grim odyssey in the physical realm unfolds the vibrant digital saga of Wraithbound Chronicles. In this immersive virtual world, legendary heroes like Darian Blackwood and Lucien Ashford enact their mythic destinies, celebrated by multitudes and woven into the fabric of popular lore.

Amid conspiracies orchestrated by secret organizations like the Inverted Sky and the looming threat of an encroaching Mirror Dimension, he must unravel the ancient mysteries of the Dominion. Only by embracing both the light and darkness within him can he hope to shatter the bonds of his cursed immortality and claim a future of his own making. In a world where death is a beginning and every resurrection is a chance to change the course of destiny, Karl Redhouse’s journey is a desperate, solitary battle against time itself—a quest to reclaim life from the clutches of eternal recurrence and to forge a destiny free from the shackles of the past.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I Was the Luna Who Loved Him, Now I’m the Luna Who Will Ruin Him Synopsis Selene Callista was once the beloved Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. She thought she had everything—a strong mate, a respected title, and a place to call home. But beneath the surface, her world was crumbling. Her mate, Alpha Damian Blackwood, only married her because fate demanded it. He never loved her. He never wanted her. And when she failed to conceive an heir after three years, he found comfort in another woman—Lillith Vaughn, the beautiful and cunning she-wolf who had been Selene’s closest friend. The ultimate betrayal came when Lillith announced she was carrying Damian’s child. But before Selene could process the pain, she was framed for killing the unborn pup. Damian, blinded by rage, cast her aside, condemning her to death. And as if that weren’t enough, her father—her only true protector—was slaughtered for daring to defend her. Burned at the stake, Selene’s last thoughts weren’t of sorrow but of vengeance. Then she woke up. Sixteen again. Seven years before her death. This time, she knows the truth. Damian was never her fated mate—he was a curse in disguise. Lillith was never a friend—she was a snake waiting to strike. And Selene? She was never weak—she was just too blind to see the power she held. With the Moon Goddess guiding her, Selene vows to change her fate. She will protect her father, save her mother, and destroy those who seek to use and betray her. She will not waste her love on Damian. She will not be fooled by Lillith’s lies. But there’s one thing she didn’t expect—Killian Voss. The feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A man of few words and deadly actions. Selene barely remembers the boy she once saved from a rogue attack when she was ten, but Killian has never forgotten her. He searched for her, only to arrive too late, finding nothing but ashes. Now, like her, he’s been given a second chance. And this time, he won’t let history repeat itself. But fate is never kind. Damian, the mate who discarded her, begins to crave the woman she’s becoming. Lillith, no longer just a scheming mistress, has become something much darker—an experiment of a secret human laboratory, enhanced with a power no werewolf can match. And Selene, caught between past and present, must decide whether to fight for revenge… or for a future she never thought possible. Because this time, she won’t just rewrite her destiny—she will set the entire werewolf world on fire.
