"I swear I will make them pay with everything I have. I will use my very own blood to sign the documents that will end them if I must!” To Champagne Gold, life was always like a fast-moving truck with no brakes and a drunk driver, one she couldn't avoid. At the age of five, she lost her parents in a helicopter crash. Life after that was one problem to another but she held on... until her grandfather passed away as well. With his death came the loss of her position of CEO and her hard-earned shares. As if that was not enough, she was served with divorce papers and the revelation of her husband's adultery with her cousin. Dealt with one too many blows, Champagne sought to end it all. Perhaps she could be reincarnated or whisked away to another world like the books she read before, but that was not to be. Instead, a mysterious man entered her life. "Rather than escape like a coward, I can give you the power and resources to carry out your revenge. I have but one condition―marry me.” Champagne held her lips between her teeth and took the offer. However, just when she believed her new life was going smoothly, she found out another painful secret. One more painful than any she had discovered before. She had undergone a uterus removal procedure and she didn't even know it. Now Champagne is more determined than ever to get revenge on everyone who wronged her. She would do and give everything to make them pay for taking away something so precious from her.

In the fractured world of Luminora, where the arcane hums through the veins of steel and whispers linger in forgotten corners, a boy with hair as dark as the void walks unnoticed, his silence a riddle to the world around him. Beside him, a girl with golden locks treads lightly, her smile a fragile mask for a truth that could shatter everything. She clings to dreams too vivid to be mere memories and to a longing for something lost—something never spoken. Their lives entwine, not by choice but by the pull of unseen strings, as shadows stretch across the light, and every step seems guided by forces neither can name. In a realm where hope glimmers faintly between cracks of despair, their journey unfolds—a delicate balance of joy and sorrow, of wonder and fear, as they seek to unravel the secrets binding them to the shifting edges of a world that defies understanding. What they find may reshape more than their fates, for some truths are too vast to stay buried, and some destinies too great to remain untold.

Synopsis: My name is Seline Sylvester, and I’m a therapist. I started my career in hopes of helping others heal, of offering solace to those lost in their own minds. But little did I know, I was only running away from my own pain. My boyfriend, Adams, left me broken, and no amount of professional success could fill the emptiness he left behind. Then, everything changed when I was assigned to treat Jason Schneider. He’s not your typical patient—he’s a 32-year-old heir to a billion-dollar empire, seemingly impervious to everything I’ve ever encountered. Aloof, guarded, and carrying an air of mystery, Jason doesn’t fit the mold of someone who would seek therapy, much less need it. He’s more interested in playing games than talking about his feelings, and his wealth only makes him more untouchable. But I can’t help it. Something about him draws me in, a challenge I can’t resist. The more I try to understand Jason, the more secrets I uncover—secrets that make me question everything I thought I knew about myself and about the world I live in. As I dive deeper into his psyche, I realize I might be facing something far more dangerous than I ever imagined. I’m caught between my professional duty and the undeniable pull I feel toward him. Star Struck is my story—a journey of healing, discovery, and the fine line between helping someone and losing yourself in the process. Will I break through his walls? Or will I find myself unraveling in the process?

Athena, a wise and fearless woman with unyielding ambition and a heart full of wonder, found herself bound to a man she despised.

The way she moved with grace, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the way her smile could light up the darkest of rooms all seemed to awaken a part of him that he thought was long dead. As they navigated their tumultuous relationship, the air was charged with an almost palpable tension. It was as if the very fabric of their world was waiting with bated breath for the spark that would ignite a passion that would change everything. The trees seemed to lean in, as if listening to their whispers. The wind seemed to carry the whispers of their ancestors, urging them to surrender to their desires.

Magic academy. Male and female lead characters. A world of sword and magic like any that exist, the only difference is the ones in it and the ones telling it. *Almost all chapters are under 1000 words, more in case it's an interesting story that should not be interrupted by difference in Chapter *No One 17 and Under Admitted because there is some erotic and steamy description in the story and because I'm not sure what the difference between Restricted means compared to No One 17 and Under Admitted, so better be safe than sorry. * All characters are not underage unless stated otherwise, and seriously this is a fantasy setting so no one looks their age. The story may or may not continue, chapters release are not predetermined so it will be short(probably) Any mention of people, places, negative terms/slang, etc that are somehow related to the real world one are should be assumed to be purely coincidence. * New and inexperience hence the long description (Very sorry, but thanks for reading)

“Everything is shrouded by uncertainty; but the Unknown, is something that I fancy.” -Them Every conundrum present in every universe is as scary as Death. It is very much contrary to being aware of the way of life, as it is the Unprecedented itself—it cannot be foretold. Being interested in studying the unknown is scary as it purely is. How about liking it? Or worse, requesting to live in it? Isn't that crazy? “I am just a college student. How did I end up in this kind of situation?” “Haah...The child's idiocy caused this much damage? What's gonna happen to my perfect life?” They are billions of light years away from one another, so how come one day, they met each other? Is it because of Fate? Was it stated in a prophecy? Or because of the Unknown?

Maybe it was fate, were we destined to be from the beginning or destined to be apart?, or maybe we were just two lost souls searching for love in places and people couldn't find it, we were similar and different at the same time, we found ourselves in this dark room of hope till the light came, supported eachother in every endeavours, we were strong together an unbreakable force, and maybe and just maybe we might die together as fate seemed to have brought us closer but still set us apart.
