Have you not realised this, child? Despite all you have witnessed? It possesses no intrinsic worth." > “Is that so?

Sold to a Prince!

In the land of magic and beasts, Sylvia was betrayed by her family and sold off as a slave. She was expecting the worst, but fortunately, it was a handsome prince who had ‘bought’ her! Who doesn’t love a charming, benevolent, and kind prince, not to mention ridiculously handsome? But, little did Sylvia know that the charming handsome prince was no angel but rather a devil in disguise! The calm, kind and good-hearted Sylvia found herself slowly changing under the devil's influence but worst of all, she found herself becoming more and more addicted to the two-faced devil who harbored dark and dangerous secrets. But could she ever fully trust the shameless devil? Or was he just one of the many who desired her hidden powers? Let the games begin! ....................... Excerpt: "Are you getting ready for your engagement, my sweet kitten?" The devil's familiar voice drawled, making Sylvia's entire body tingle with an unfathomable need. She gazed into his dark coal black eyes, lost within them, as he rubbed her lips with his thumb. This man... This man in front of her alone had the power to make her knees weak and her heart crumble. "Heh. Being silent, are we?" The devil chuckled, his hand moving away from her lips to the back of her head. He clutched a handful of her soft silver hair and pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips with his. Sylvia snapped out of her trance and commanded her body to push the devil away but her traitorous body only yearned for him more and she wrapped her hands around his neck instead. The devil's lips curved upwards, his grin widening in satisfaction. His hand then moved down to her gorgeous engagement gown laced with diamonds and rubies which came undone as soon as he touched. The laces, the veil, the flowers, the jewelry, everything was ripped to shreds, leaving behind only herself. An entire morning spent on getting ready and dressing up gone to waste just like that! "You!" Sylvia glared at the shameless devil angrily. She had given him an inch but he went for the mile! She pushed him away with all the force that she could muster, pinning him against the wall, imprisoning his rude mannerless hands. "Heh? Why are you angry, my darling? Aren't I helping you? Why waste your time attending the meaningless engagement, when you already know that you belong to me and me alone?" "Go to hell! Who said I belong to you! I belong to no one." "Is that so?" The devil leaned forward, gently knocking his forehead with hers. "Shall I leave then...?" He whispered, his warm breath caressing her cheeks. Sylvia's face instantly reddened as she couldn't resist the devil's sweet temptations anymore... She gave into the man's wicked allure and pressed her lips over his, stopping his mouth from taunting her and teasing her any further. .......................

Pandora Protocol

A sea region situated more than six hundred thousand miles from the mainland of Mexico, where Clarion Island – now known as Zero Zone – was resided. Clarion Island; one of the most remote of Revillagigedo Islands that once belonged to the State of Mexico, was bought by United States to establish the largest nuclear reactor research and development center in the world. Nearly ninety percent of the world's energy demand was met by hundreds of nuclear reactors. The scarcity of coal, oil, and natural gas was the sole reason, making an entire earth's population to depend on the uninhabited island covering an area of twenty square kilometers. All ought to be fine, however not forever; till that bright Thursday night, no a single soul on Earth would expect it to happen. April 4, 2097 22:04 PDT The energy discharge of four hundred nuclear reactors that occurred simultaneously, creating explosive power of more than seventy thousand megatons of TNT – more than capable of obliterating Clarion Island in a blink of an eye. A catastrophe worse thousands of times than The Chernobyl Disaster. And it couldn't even be measured within INES scale – simply went off the chart. The radioactive waste wasn't the only concern, but also megatsunami waves caused by the explosion and the sinking of Clarion Island buried all small islands around the Pacific Ocean into the azure sand by megatsunami's waves as high as fifteen thousand feet continuing to hurtle seemingly without anyone or anything could stop it. The world, at that time, was on the verge of collapse, United States, which felt responsible for the harrowing tragedy, immediately set End-of-the-World Scenario to its highest level. And so quarter of an hour after the explosion, United States with the help of Neo Uni Soviet, jointly nuclear bombed the megatsunami's waves to prevent the sinking of all lands on Earth. Miraculously, the team that was once known in the Old World as the Allies, succeeded of stopping the doomsday. However, there was no room for breathing, because more threats bounded to ensue, But strangely, the radioactive waste that was feared would accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and its ocean… in fact after a year had passed since that terrible tragedy, all of it somewhat disappeared without a trace… or being absorbed to be exact… by something. Something within Zero Zone… the starting point of all changes, Despite so, as for the final result of megatsunami, the composition of continents, islands and Face of the Earth had changed entirely. The emergence of new islands, and the disappearance of the old ones… and one of those newborn islands was Zero Zone, the source of all miracles, Therefore, an organization was founded, yclept Avodance… with the sole purpose was to explore Zero Zone and to find such a miracle. Two years of exploring they did, and finally found it upon excavating ruins of hundreds nuclear reactors that once was a prosperous island. A stone, similar to a crystal for its transparent structure, rough texture of a perfect spherical shape and blackish purple in color. They ultimately labeled the gemlike stone, Hailagma. They soon realized that Hailagma was emitting unknown energy infinitely times greater than Clarion Explosion. Such energy seemingly came from the blackish purple aura cloaking Hailagma, whose energy could've been used as the new energy supply, in fact too much for the remnants of the world survivors. So that they later altered their purpose for existing… from seeking to preserving, After the discovery of Hailagma, they tried to reach a term with the remaining nineteen countries to seal the huge energy and to isolate Zero Zone from the interference of others, and only their affiliation had the authority over the place. Ergo, on August 3, 3 ACE Eleven countries signed the deal, forming officially the Treaty of Pandora Protocol.
