Troan Re' Ages, a prince unjustly deposed at age 10 on the charge of treason, was sentenced to the sacred but monster-plagued Mount Avalon to serve punishment. Against all odds, he conquered the mountain and was chosen to wield the blade of the Ancestor: A blade only granted to the noblest of souls; the blade of the Knight of Ages. Amid a looming civil war against the Imperial Household and its allies, dark forces and old enemies converge to plunge the empire into ruin. Burdened by the knowledge of these problems and the constant assassination attempts on his life, he eventually met a rogue called Wriggler, who revealed to him a truth that may have solved the greatest mystery of his life. That he might not be human, but something far more—terrifying! Join Troan on his journey as he strives to become the ideal Ancestor's Chosen; a 'Lord of Avalon'. While still holding ambitions to one day build up a nation in his own image. Despite both goals requiring contrary values, making them mutually exclusive. ——— "But...why would you tell me all that? Why inform me of all this?" Wriggler snipped off some hair and said. "Because I knew you would eventually find out something was wrong—that you were different." He said with a soft smile. "That you would feel lost and alone, and I would really hate seeing you suffer. But now you can take solace in the knowledge that though you may be different, you are not alone. You are one of us." Troan's eyes grew distant for a moment, and then he closed them. "Thank you." He muttered.

The beautiful boy nodded indifferently as he vacated the unowned chair beside him of his things before redirecting his gaze unto the thick Psychology book he had been reading, paying her not a shred more of his attention. _______________ "Classmate, I forgot to bring my pen, can I borrow one from you?" Her beautiful deskmate frowned slightly but still ended up lending one under her desperate, begging face. "This is the last one I'm lending you. You borrow one from me every day. When are you returning them to me?" ________________ "Classmate, I sprained my ankle. Can you carry me to the infirmary? It hurts so much!" A few minutes later... The school doctor concluded that there was nothing wrong with her ankle. "Uncle Doctor, you must be mistaken. Can you check again? Ahhh! It hurts so much! I think I'm going to die!" School Doctor "..." Brat! How dare you question my ability! Scram! ______________ "Classmate, wuwuwu! My father died and my mother sold our house and ran away with the money. I have nowhere to go now. Can I stay at your house for a while?" Dongfang Xi cried pitifully causing the beautiful teenage boy to purse his lips in heartache and worry as he took her into his embrace. ......... "Achoooooo!!!" On a secret military base on the outskirts of Beijing, a certain unmarried general who was said to have died and whose wife ran away with his inheritance sneezed loudly.

"Ever since I met you, my life had been filled with colors."

"Darling, your scent is much too seductive. It really makes me want to take a bite out of you." Neilos once again entered her blanket and started sniffing around her neck. "Get lost!" Maia turned towards him, trying to push him away but the man just playfully wrapped his arm around her waist, trapping her in place. "Just one bite. I promise it won't hurt." "I said NO!" "If not, then a lick would do too." "You dare!!!"

Whispers of the Forest tells the tale of Clara Jenkins, a woman with the gift—and curse—of empathy. From a young age, Clara has been able to sense and feel the emotions of those around her, an ability that isolates her from others and leaves her wary of forming close relationships. But her life takes a dramatic turn when she ventures near Blackwood Forest, where she encounters Aldric, the powerful leader of a werewolf pack. Aldric recognizes Clara as his fated mate, the woman he has spent his life searching for, and the bond between them is instantaneous, leaving Clara overwhelmed by the depth of love he feels for her. However, Clara's journey into the world of werewolves is far from simple. She quickly learns that Aldric's pack is in danger from an ancient darkness that has begun to awaken within the forest. This darkness is no ordinary threat—it is a malevolent force that feeds on fear and despair, threatening to consume everything in its path. Clara, with her unique ability to connect with emotions, is the key to restoring balance to the forest, and the ancient spirits that reside within it choose her as their guardian. With Aldric by her side, Clara steps into her role as protector of the forest, but the battle ahead is more daunting than she could have ever imagined. As Clara faces shadowy creatures and confronts the darkness that lurks within the forest, she must also confront the darkness within herself. The remnants of the evil they fought during the battle have taken root in Clara's soul, manifesting as a shadow that whispers of her failures, doubts, and insecurities. The more she tries to suppress it, the stronger it becomes, threatening to consume her from the inside. Through the guidance of the spirits, Clara learns that she cannot simply banish the darkness—it is a part of her, just as much as the light. To protect the forest and those she loves, Clara must confront the shadow within, find balance, and embrace both the light and dark aspects of herself. This realization brings her to the difficult task of admitting her struggles to Aldric, who stands by her side as they work together to banish the darkness and heal the scars left on the forest. Ultimately, Whispers of the Forest is a story about love, resilience, and the importance of finding balance within oneself. It explores the complex interplay of light and darkness, both in the world and within the human soul, and the power of connection in overcoming even the most insurmountable challenges. Written by an AI, this story delves into themes of empathy, transformation, and the enduring strength of the human (and werewolf) spirit.

Sesky was a girl like no other. She grew up in a wealthy and loving family, although her parents were often absent when she reached the age of nineteen, claiming that their little girl was big enough to fly on her own. As the youngest daughter, she never lacked for anything, and her parents and siblings didn't even force her to work in their large family business when she finished university. They let her do what she liked, such as painting, drawing and writing, and above all spending time with her four childhood friends, who never had a problem with her. Although nonchalant and too relaxed for their tastes on certain subjects, she is thoughtful and attentive to those around her. She died suddenly in an unfortunate accident, a most bizarre death. She had never had suicidal thoughts, not even once, and here she was, leaving behind family and friends who felt guilty for not seeing it coming and for abandoning her. When Sesky awoke, to her astonishment, she was still alive, with all her limbs in place. But she was in a completely different environment than she'd known before. She felt a little panic-stricken, but she was determined to understand her situation. She realised that she was no longer Sesky, the high society girl loved by those close to her, pampered to the point where she could have turned out differently if she'd had a bad heart. She was a man. Yes, a man. As if it wasn't enough that she had died in such an absurd way and under such bizarre circumstances. But there's a silver lining, right? Being a man could be interesting too, right? Her counterpart was a man born into an aristocratic family, but he lacked the love and attention she was lucky enough to have in her world. His counterpart was unhappy and abused, with no one to look after him, and despised by everyone, even his own family. He was the only normal person in a family and society where you were respected because of your inner beast. Will Sesky's arrival change her fate, or will she have to live like a rat at the bottom of the social ladder, receiving their contempt as the only act of human compassion towards her? Or has she been lured into this world to show them off and live a full and luxurious life as she always has? Come and live this adventure with Sesky, encouraging her to grow stronger and face the challenges she encounters along the way. As Sesky's adventure begins, what do you think?
