The magnate lifted the veil off her identities as a Divine Doctor, designer, hacker, composer... and so on.

At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer.

If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.

Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, lets make the story good together. I will like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless like some of you may want. There’s a lot of stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you. Release chapters will only be one chapter a day on weekdays. The releases will become more consistent depending on how well the story does.

Gavin, a window cleaner with a love for all media involving magic and the supernatural in general, dies and is reincarnated in a world that he could only call a dream-come-true. Determined to not let himself fall into mediocrity a second time, he lets a newly formed ambition take hold of him, for better or worse. A/N: This is my first time trying to write anything and I intend to use this story as more practice than anything serious. I'm just making the plot up as I go so don't expect anything revolutionary. I only have a general direction I want to take things, so suggestions are welcome. At the time I'm writing this I have the first five chapters done. I personally think they aren't all that great, and are a bit chaotic, but I hope I'm just being overly-critical. When I wrote them, I was trying a bit of everything to get a feel for where I wanted to take things, but I think it should improve quickly. Please leave a comment and/or review letting me know what I did well/poorly and what I can do to improve, it would be appreciated.

Summary: In a world where emotions have the power to corrupt and transform, humanity faces the relentless threat of Drowners—monstrous beings born from those consumed by their feelings. While most succumb to despair or rage, a rare few emerge as Defekts, individuals who conquer their inner turmoil and awaken unique abilities. Kai is just an average office worker—or so he believes. Lately, he’s been waking up in random places with no memory of how he got there, haunted by fleeting glimpses of violence and chaos. His life takes an even stranger turn when he’s abducted from his workplace by a group of rogue defekts known as 2156. They reveal a shocking truth: Kai is not just a Defekt—he’s one of the most powerful ones they’ve ever encountered. Now, Kai faces a world he barely understands, teeming with danger, secrets, and choices. Will he be a pawn in someone else’s game or something far greater?

Being a villain is bad... but is that really true? In a world where magic is the lifeblood of the land, two women from opposing sides are destined to collide in a tale of love, power, and the thin line between good and evil. Alyndra was only five when her life was shattered by the brutal murder of her parents. Raised in the tranquil kingdom of Lunaria, she learned to wield her innate magical abilities to protect and heal. Despite the darkness in her past, she holds onto hope and goodness, dedicating herself to helping others and honoring her parents' memory. But the shadows that have lingered in her heart are not so easily quelled. Alyndra's kindness is tested when she crosses paths with a powerful and enigmatic woman from the dark kingdom of Noxaris. Thalindra is a force to be reckoned with feared and revered as one of the most powerful sorceresses in the land. With her striking androgynous appearance, short-cropped black hair, and piercing amber eyes, Thalindra commands respect and awe. Yet beneath her cold and calculating exterior lies a deep-seated loneliness and a hunger for a kindred spirit. Thalindra is on a quest to find a partner in crime, someone who can match her in power and ambition, but all those she encounters bore her until she meets Alyndra. Their first meeting is one of conflict, as Alyndra stands in the way of Thalindra's plans. But instead of seeing Alyndra as just another obstacle, Thalindra is intrigued by the younger woman's strength and the darkness she senses lurking within her. Thalindra sees in Alyndra a potential ally and something more. As they continue to clash, a slow and dangerous connection forms between them. Alyndra is drawn to Thalindra in ways she cannot understand, her once-clear sense of right and wrong becoming increasingly blurred.

In this enemies-to-lovers tale, the line between hero and villain will be redrawn, and the roles will reverse as Alyndra's transformation into a darker self unfolds. The two women will challenge each other, shape each other, and ultimately, destroy each other’s old selves to forge something entirely new whether it will be for better or for worse remains to be seen.
