Monument Mythos Everett

The Shadows of Fate

"You can outrun many things, but fate will always find you, like your shadow in the light." . In the heart of Washington D.C., mafia heir Vaughn Volkov is on a mission that takes him far from the sun-soaked streets of California. The bustling city, with its imposing monuments and corridors of power, is a far cry from the palm-lined avenues of his home. Vaughn, however, is not one to be easily intimidated. His piercing blue eyes and commanding presence turn heads wherever he goes, a reminder that beneath his polished exterior lies a man accustomed to danger and control. Vaughn's path crosses with Eliza Monroe, a seemingly innocent college student whose gentle demeanor masks a resilience forged from her own turbulent past. Eliza, with her kind heart and determined spirit, is an enigma. She spends her days buried in books at the library, her nights working part-time to make ends meet. Her brown eyes, often hidden behind a cascade of dark curls, hold a depth that Vaughn finds both intriguing and unsettling. Their first encounter is anything but ordinary. Vaughn watches, intrigued by her fearlessness and the fire in her eyes. "You're not like the others," he remarks later, cornering her in the quiet corner of the library. His voice is a low, dangerous purr that sends shivers down Eliza's spine. "And you're not just the student here," she retorts, meeting his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "What do you want from me?" Vaughn's lips curve into a slow, dangerous smile. "Maybe I just want to get to know you." Despite her reservations, Eliza feels a strange pull towards Vaughn. His presence is intoxicating, a blend of danger and allure that she finds hard to resist. As they spend more time together, Eliza begins to see glimpses of the man beneath the mafia heir. Vaughn, too, finds himself drawn to Eliza in ways he never anticipated. Her kindness, her strength, and her unyielding spirit ignite something within him that he thought long buried. Yet, as their connection deepens, the shadows of their pasts loom ever larger. Vaughn's family business, shrouded in crime and violence, is never far from his mind. His enemies are ruthless, and his association with Eliza puts her squarely in their crosshairs. Eliza, too, harbors secrets. The dark forces that have shaped her life threaten to consume her, and Vaughn's world only amplifies those dangers. As their worlds collide, they must navigate a treacherous web of intrigue, passion, and forbidden desire. But with danger lurking around every corner, will their love survive, or will they be torn apart by the shadows of fate?

Bought, Betrayed, Reborn Of The Adopted Daughter

“You will have to do everything that says in this house as long as you are still living under my roof,” Mr. Gabriel Everette yelled angrily at the sixteen-year-old Ava, who was looking at Mr. Everette, who was so angry with her because Ava had complained that her younger sister Abigail bullied her with her friends in school. “I have told you several times that no matter what your sister does to you, you should consider that she is still your sister and you shouldn't complain about her to me. Do you understand?” Mr. Gabriel yelled, causing Ava to nod her head with fear. “I’m sorry, Dad,” Ava said, but Mr. Gabriel walked away, leaving the living room to join his wife and their younger daughter Abigail. This is how Ava has been treated since Mr. Gabriel and his wife, Mrs. Georginal, gave birth to Abigail. They would neglect her and attend to her younger sister, but she wasn't able to understand what was going on; she cried when she was still little but started to understand as she grew up and could only cry and endure how she was being treated. Her younger sister, who was two years younger than her, would bully her in school and always wanted to humiliate her, making her life miserable like a living hell. Abigail hated her and accused her of many things, blaming her for whatever reason. She endured for years and always wondered why her parents treated her so differently from how they treated her younger sister until the day she discovered she was just an adopted daughter whom they saw crying at just two years old. Until the day she discovered the truth about why she was being maltreated. She was an adopted daughter. Ava had entered her adoptive parents' bedroom while looking for a file Mr. Gabriel had told her to bring, but she saw adoption papers in her name instead. It felt like a dream, and realization slapped her so hard. She took the file and went through it. With tears, she placed the file back neatly where it had been before picking up the files she was told to bring to her adoptive father. When she discovered this, she felt like her world crumbled, and every fact she knew about herself shattered. The sound of shattering glass echoed in her mind. “I’m really an adopted daughter? Is this why I was being maltreated and felt different from my younger sister?” Ava thought as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. But what happened when Mr. Gabriel Everette was planning to sell Ava off when his company was facing bankruptcy? Ava heard this and ran away from home, but she came back strong and turned into a beautiful, decent wife of a billionaire. Her comeback holds revenge to teach them lessons and make them regret ever treating her so badly.

In Elysium, a land ravaged by wars and monsters, they saw in him the last hope to restore stability before their followers-and they-faded into nothingness. Before his reincarnation could take place, the gods intervened, recognizing that Victor could accomplish a task he had once completed on Earth: to unite and restore a broken world.

In a world on the brink of destruction, can one man spark the flames of democracy and rebuild society? With Astra, the nation he founded, as a beacon of liberty and hope, Victor must unite Elysium's fractured races. But as he lays the foundation for a new world, can he fulfill his grand vision of liberation-one based on democracy and justice? Or will the weight of his past victories prove too great, as war, magic, and monsters close in from all sides?

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret.

But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal.

Vantage

On his seventeenth birthday, Alex's life undergoes a radical transformation when Leo, his closest friend, gives him a cutting-edge VR headset. Fascinated and utterly astounded, Alex jumps immediately into the virtual world-a gift he never dreamed was possible. A digital utopia called Epsilon, it is the home of the most famous game in history-Vantage. Vantage is a gunplay game of high-stakes action, intense firefights, strategy, and, sometimes, challenges. But it's more than just a game: there's a legend attached. Legend says that whoever can pass the last test of the game will inherit the knowledge, rights, and wealth estimated in billions that the original and mysterious game creator-a billionaire who disappeared under strange circumstances many years ago-left behind. As Alex throws himself further and further into Vantage, he realizes that the game is bigger than just a VR playground. He begins to uncover hidden secrets regarding the real-life consequences of the game's actions, as players' actions inside the game begin to blur with their real lives. Once he starts winning, everything in his life begins to change: ghost messages, a constantly-growing net worth, and oddly ominous new figures that seem to know everything about him. Alex finds himself not only battling the many challenges and obstacles that constantly arise in Vantage, but also the constant growing feeling that this game has become more real than ever before. As he continues to grow, he's being faced with monumental decisions that test his integrity, particularly when the truth becomes unnervingly clear: those around him that he thought he could trust, like his uncle, are anything but who they appear to be. The stakes are raised when Alex realizes Vantage is no mere game: it's a test of his will, morals, and ability to juxtapose the virtual with the real. As he nears the final challenge, he must choose: get the prize while leaving everything dear behind or perhaps forfeit for the sake of his loved ones? It promises the wealth and power of the world, but at what cost?

Supreme Commanders

.The story of Cipto, a 20-year-old prodigy who has risen to the position of one of the supreme commanders in the United Kingdom of Asia (UKA)—a united state led by Indonesia, which dominates all of Asia. Despite his youth, Cipto holds unparalleled authority and commands immense respect and fear across the nation. Armed with immense power, Cipto can trigger an 8-magnitude megathrust earthquake across Asia with a mere stomp of his foot or shatter Mount Everest with a single strike of his black staff. Under Cipto’s leadership are some of the strongest warriors in UKA: Alexandre, the brilliant strategist, Susilo Bambang, a master tactician, Grock, the fierce shield of the army, Rose, an unmatched battle general, and Erwin, the most powerful among them all. Although Rose and Erwin are commanders themselves, their status is subordinate to Cipto, whose sheer strength and strategic genius surpass anyone else in the nation. With 10 million lives (immortal counters) protecting him—an incomprehensible number for anyone to challenge—Cipto is essentially indestructible. His steel-like body is said to rival steel layers a billion kilometers thick. Yet, treachery and resistance persist even within the UKA. Dissident generals and rogue elements test his patience, disrespecting his authority. When such defiance emerges, Cipto handles it with unyielding efficiency. One day, Cipto receives an invitation to join the Arena of Commanders, a series of grueling trials meant to determine the supreme leader of the UKA. Facing foes who include even his own subordinates, Cipto begins his journey to ultimately challenge the highest commander, Nathan, in a monumental battle that redefines history.
