Golden Epitaph

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, her small revenge became the last saving straw in her drowning life. Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison. So as a coping mechanism, Lauren made it her life mission to teach her family a small lesson by denying her sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for all that she had to endure from them. For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child." But finding out that she was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of her plans.  So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before her "husband" finds out that he has been duped. She needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception? What happens then when she realises that the man that she has been searching for is none other than the very husband that she has been running away from? Will she go and claim him back, or will she continue to let her sister be with him? And what if, while Lauren thought that everything that was happening was as a result of her own game plan, she was rather just a pawn in someone else's chess?

In a world where destiny is decided by power, Su Minghao, a young cultivator, is born with a unique talent—the Golden Finger, an enigmatic mark that promises unimaginable strength. As a low-level disciple in a sect struggling to survive in a chaotic world, Su Minghao's prospects are grim. However, his life takes a turn for the better when he gets chosen by the Heavenly System, a divine artifact which gives him the ability to upgrade anything in his life with just a thought. With a wave of his finger, Su Minghao is able to upgrade his cultivation, forge artifacts, create powerful pills, and even enhance the most complex formations—at the cost of spending the normal cultivation currency. The currency that is gained from battles, exploration, and hard-to-find treasures can be spent by him to enhance his skills and abilities exponentially, and he becomes invincible in the world of cultivators. Yet this incredible power comes at a cost. Each upgrade, each enhancement, can potentially draw the unwanted attention of lethal enemies and ancient cults who covet the secrets of the Golden Finger. As Su Minghao rises through the ranks of the world of cultivation, he will be forced to fight ruthless enemies, learn to manage his growing powers, and solve the riddle of the mysterious Heavenly System before it kills him. Can he use his new power and become the Immortal he was destined to be? Or will the allure of infinite upgrades be his demise?

Las sombras de Anthropótita siempre han susurrado secretos. En las noches más frías, cuando el viento arrastra murmullos entre los árboles y las luces de las aldeas titilan como luciérnagas moribundas, los ancianos cuentan historias de seres ocultos. Relatos que los niños escuchan con asombro y los adultos descartan con una sonrisa. Pero las historias no son solo cuentos. Son advertencias. Algo ha despertado. Thio lo ha sentido en la forma en que las ciudades refuerzan sus muros, en los ojos temerosos de los viajeros que hablan de figuras que desaparecen en la bruma. Mercenario por necesidad, más valiente que prudente, él vive al filo de la incertidumbre, llevando en su pasado un peso que pocos conocen. No es un héroe, ni pretende serlo. Pero cuando Matt, un joven de mirada asustada y propósito inquebrantable, lo busca con una súplica desesperada, su destino toma un nuevo rumbo. Mujeres han desaparecido sin dejar rastro. Las pistas llevan a lo desconocido, a los límites de lo que la razón se atreve a aceptar. Lo que comenzó como una simple misión de rescate pronto se convierte en algo más grande, más oscuro. En Anthropótita, la línea entre mito y realidad se desdibuja, y Thio y Matt están a punto de cruzarla. Porque en las sombras, algo los observa. Y ha estado esperando.

We became what the eyes see us as. Not us. Not real. *** "Try this." Yuki lifted his gaze to see a fish ball skewered on a stick, held close to his mouth. The hand offering it belonged to none other than the striking stranger standing beside him. He wore a blue and white uniform, a black bag slung over one shoulder. Yuki’s eyes landed on the stranger’s face again. Even now, he still wasn’t used to seeing someone like him—a face that seemed completely out of place in their small, ordinary town. There was no doubt he was an outsider. "Yuki." Yuki was startled when the stranger moved the skewer even closer to his lips. He could smell the warm, spicy sauce, and without thinking, he quickly flicked his tongue over it. His brows furrowed in surprise—it was unexpectedly delicious. Instead of reprimanding the stranger, he found himself praising him. "Mm, this is good!" He opened his mouth to take a bite of the fish ball—only for it to vanish into thin air. "Huh?" Confused, he looked up, but the stranger was already busy selecting more street food. Yuki’s cheeks suddenly burned, and with clenched fists, he moved closer to him. "What’s your problem?" Even the elderly vendor glanced at them, observing how the stranger completely ignored Yuki. His face flushed with frustration, as if ready to pick a fight. The vendor quickly intervened. "Alright, alright, no fighting! Son, just choose what you want." He nudged Yuki toward the food stall. "No, thank you." Yuki muttered before walking away from the kiosk. The old vendor watched him leave, staring in silence until he disappeared from sight. "One more order of that, please. And make it to-go." The stranger finally spoke. "Ah, sure, son." When the vendor handed him the food, the young man left without another word. Hands in his pockets, he walked in the same direction Yuki had gone, the plastic bag of fish balls dangling from his fingers. The vendor sighed and sat down, shaking his head.

In a world where your soul manifestation’s worth is everything, Arian Flurren failed to manifest his soul at all. Because of this, his family hated him and he was bullied in school. The only person who accepted him was a boy named Kaidyn Cecil. The boy was a bit strange, disappearing often and telling odd stories when he returned, but he cared for Arian and kept him company since as far as he could remember. But on Arian’s 16th birthday, Kaidyn disappeared. In his absence, Arian studied hard to become a soul apothecary, striving to be useful so that he wouldn’t die and could meet the boy he cherished once again. At 24 years old, he almost lost hope, but suddenly, Kaidyn returned. He was a bit different than before, a strong, grown man with an aloof demeanor, but Arian loved him all the same. It’s just Kaidyn seems to have misunderstood what Arian meant by love! An outwardly aloof, but inwardly supportive and doting top (Kaidyn) x a seemingly innocent, but inwardly altruistic yet sharp and intelligent bottom(Arian) *there will be smut! *sweet love *I’m not the best writer so don’t think too much if you wanna read it :P ENJOY
