As the student council president of Seirei High, she upholds perfection in everything she does. But when she reunites with Rem Kotsuki, an infuriatingly indifferent yet undeniably talented classmate, her carefully balanced world is thrown into disarray. Rem isn’t just an annoyance—he’s a mystery. He never tries yet excels at everything, his teasing demeanor gets under Tamaki’s skin, and worst of all, he refuses to take her seriously. Their clashes are legendary, their rivalry the talk of the school, and yet… Tamaki can’t shake the strange sense of familiarity he brings. Unbeknownst to her, Rem is "Kotsu"—the childhood friend she once adored, the boy who had been her escape from a strict and demanding upbringing. But after years apart, he is no longer the same carefree boy from her memories. Having hidden his true self behind an easygoing façade, Rem watches Tamaki from the sidelines, torn between the past they shared and the rivalry they now live. As the two navigate student council duties, school festivals, and an increasing number of stolen moments, their relationship shifts in ways neither of them expected. A heated argument, a lingering gaze, a whispered confession in the moonlight—before they know it, their rivalry turns into something neither of them can deny. From childhood friends to bitter rivals, and now… something much more complicated. In a battle of pride, hidden emotions, and meddlesome friends, will Tamaki and Rem finally face the truth about their past—and their hearts? A love story filled with playful banter, intense rivalry, and the undeniable pull of fate.

Reluctantly, Ayaka embarks on this new adventure, diving deep into the intricate realm of emotional storytelling.

Arthur is a single male from the US who played an eroge for almost a year and dedicated most of his fortune to it's gacha function. His goal ? Being the first, above even the creator and devs of the game. But one question, once he completed the current content available on the game, why did he woke up in the middle of nowhere ? - Author's note : This story contains heavy sex scenes, more than three chapters each, and somewhat regularly. They will also start somewhat soft and slowly approach more uncharted territories, going through a lot of tags that can be seen on adult sites, positions and further kinks if not fetishes. I do plan to make it somewhat enjoyable for everyone, and if you don't like a certain scene, you're free to skip it as there won't be any story text related in them, and if there is, it will be minimal to the point where it can be ignored. There isn't a specific publication dates for the chapters, I'll just post them once I finish writing them, can go to three to four chapter a day, to even zero for a few of them or during festivities, as I don't know what tomorrow is made of and I am certainly not a professional at this. Lastly, I hope you find your pleasure beyond this introduction and what lays, waiting for you, further in the story !

Alongside his loving wife, Li-Yan Mei, and their two children, Xian Xue (7) and Xian Long (5), they set out to enjoy the simple pleasures of life: food, festivals, and quiet days on .

The Price of Sin In a world where imagination and reality blur, where the boundaries of time and space dissolve, four souls find themselves trapped in endless cycles of torment. From the scorching desert to the frozen wasteland, from the labyrinthine castle to the suffocating forest, each story unfolds as a symphony of agony, a testament to the consequences of sin and desire. A man covered in blood stumbles through a desert, only to find himself in a grotesque Roman festival where indulgence leads to unspeakable horrors. A woman wanders a castle of impossible beauty, her wonder turning to terror as she becomes part of its eternal tapestry. A lost soul in a forest falls prey to a tribe whose rituals strip him of his humanity, piece by piece. And in the endless winter, a man seeks refuge, only to become the centerpiece of a macabre garden of pain. These are not mere stories of suffering—they are warnings. Each character is drawn into a world where hope is a cruel illusion, where the price of sin is paid in eternal torment. As the cycles repeat, the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, and the true nature of their punishment is revealed: they are not just suffering for their sins—they are the architects of their own damnation. The Price of Sin is a chilling exploration of guilt, desire, and the inescapable consequences of our choices. Enter these worlds at your own risk—once you step inside, you may never leave.

"Jill!" Sheri whispered. Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge. Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is? Don't care... But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband. Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily. Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face. She continues to push Sheri’s buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor. They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came. The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused. Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her. Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me. But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight. *** After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence. The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around. "What was that?!" Jill yelled. "I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added. Jill wanted to smack Sheri. "No! You!" Sheri was confused. "You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated. "Oh...". Sheri said in recollection. "Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares. Sheri was silent but signaled she understood Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!" "I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead. "Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly. "You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted. "So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!" "Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head. Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought. *** Hey everyone, thank you for your interest in my book, this is my first time writing a story. Hope you enjoyed this excerpt.

"Get your hands off me!" she wrestled against my grip, so I held her even tighter. "Put this on!" I groaned, toiling to keep her in place and wishing again I’d worn the damn gloves. The feel of her warm skin under my arm and palm wasn’t helping my focus. "I'm not taking you home like this!" "You don't tell me what to do!" she snapped, thrashing to break free of my hold as I fumbled with the cloak in my other hand, trying to drape it over her bare shoulders. "I'm not going home! Let me go, I said!" "Did you really think I got you out of there just to let you wander the streets, almost naked, like a lunatic?" That stopped her. "What did you call me?!" "LU-NA-TIC." "You... You…! Take your hands off me, you insolent brute!" Enraged, she yanked her arm too abruptly and lost her balance. I caught her, wrapped her in the cloak, and threw her over my shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN!" She shrieked and flailed, but I ignored her, making my way to the Commander’s house, which, thanks to Braa, was only two streets away. Since the entire population was in the square for the ridiculous festival, no one intervened at the frantic cries of the wild creature. No wonder in the ten years I've known the Commander, I've never heard that he has a daughter. She must’ve been kept locked away. Strangely, she suddenly went still and quiet. Had she grown tired, worried about attracting attention, or finally realized how inappropriate it was to show up at her parents' doorstep in this state? She didn’t seem to care before. With every step, my anxiety grew—she was limp. "Hey!" No answer. Seriously?! "Hey, you!" Nothing. A bad feeling crept over me, so I pulled her off my shoulder and into my arms. Her head fell against my chest—unconscious. "Hey! Hey, you!" I shook her, but she didn’t react. Panic surged through me. Had she fainted? Had I held her too tight? Lifting her more securely, I sprinted toward the Commander's house.
