She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.

And now, he was the youngest son of the same legendary Ashborn Family that was behind earth and his family's end. Elias wanted to repay the favor. He wanted to bring absolute ruination to these people. And for that, he had to play by their rules. He had to become the Architect of an Apocalypse…

"When the lowliest Omega barista sinks his teeth into the Alpha Queen's gland, our love becomes the weapon that shatters the world." As the most oppressed Omega, he'd never tasted "being loved"—until his feral claws tore through shackles that night, locking with the Arctic blaze in his sovereign's eyes. She who reigned supreme over the Alpha hierarchy defied the Covenant for him, her glacial armor dissolving where their skin met. Now their fated marks blaze in clasped palms while her frostblade severs the Blackthorn Council's lies, this lawless passion upending a thousand years of hierarchy far beyond mere escape. As the crimson moon rises, the world roars its ultimatum: "Perish together, or rewrite existence as one."

Elliot Carter, a down-on-his-luck everyman, is having the worst day of his life. Fired from his job, harassed by his landlord, and deprived of his favorite oat milk, Elliot’s day takes a surreal turn when his phone glitches and reveals a mysterious system interface. He is abruptly named the "Architect of Reality," tasked with rebuilding a crumbling world. With reality’s stability at a precarious 47%, Elliot is thrust into a role he never asked for, armed with a holographic system that allows him to manipulate fundamental aspects of existence—gravity, time, energy, and more. As Elliot navigates this bizarre new responsibility, he discovers that the instability plaguing his world stems from temporal anomalies and energy imbalances, many of which are linked to a mysterious "Unknown Entity" at the heart of the city. With the clock ticking and reality on the brink of collapse, Elliot must learn to wield his newfound powers carefully, balancing the risks of unintended consequences with the urgent need to stabilize the world. From preventing car accidents to tweaking cosmic luck, Elliot begins to make small but impactful changes. However, when he confronts the Unknown Entity—a chaotic vortex of energy that threatens to consume everything—he faces his greatest challenge yet. Forced to make a risky decision, Elliot absorbs the entity into the system, stabilizing reality but unlocking new, unknown dangers. With the first mission complete and reality’s stability at 70%, Elliot gains access to system upgrades, hinting at even greater powers—and greater responsibilities. As he begins to unravel the mysteries of the system and the origins of the Unknown Entity, Elliot realizes that his journey as the Architect of Reality is only just beginning. **Themes:** - The weight of responsibility and the power of choice - The fragility of reality and the consequences of tampering with it - A reluctant hero’s journey from ordinary to extraordinary **Tone:** A mix of sci-fi adventure, existential mystery, and dark humor, with a protagonist who balances skepticism with growing determination. **Potential:** This story sets the stage for a larger narrative about the nature of reality, the origins of the system, and Elliot’s role in a multiverse teetering on the edge of collapse. With each mission, Elliot will face new challenges, uncover deeper truths, and grapple with the moral dilemmas of wielding godlike power.

But to do so, he may have to become the very legend he fears… Because in a world ruled by his blood, the First Monster is still the strongest.

Hermia blinked, caught off guard. “So it has to be marriage?” she asked, her tone laced with disbelief. “Yes,” he deadpanned, not a hint of hesitation in his voice. Her frustration bubbled over. “But we don’t even know each other!” she whined, throwing her hands up in exasperation. Niklaus leaned forward, his dark eyes gleaming. “I don’t need to know you, Mia,” he said, his voice dipping into a deep, dangerous tone. “When I can feel you… that’s enough for me.” She inhaled sharply, her heart hammering in her chest. “That’s not enough for me,” she countered, her voice firm but trembling slightly. His expression softened, and his next words wrapped around her like a promise. “I would forever cherish you, adore you, and treat you like the rarest gem. I would never let you shed a single tear of pain.” Her resolve wavered, but she shook her head and pushed back. “We’re not getting married, Shark. Just go.” But instead of leaving, he smirked, leaning back with a confidence that rattled her. “I’ll be waiting.” Hermia groaned, exasperated. “Nik, you’re hardly doing any waiting. You’re all over me! We live together, work together, eat together—you’re always here!” Niklaus’s voice dropped to a whisper, raw and pleading. “Then just keep me forever, Mia.” She froze, his honest, vulnerable eyes piercing through every defense she had built.

in the instant of it all there is something which remains is it the memories within? or the yearnings without? Tell me, oh tell me when sacred flaming eyes meet in the twilight zone, what with those searching looks, unsettled until the match is met? is it the undecided pat doing the rest In pure insanity? or the varying whispers that ceases in mid silence? Tell me, oh tell me now what to expect certainly when eyes are evaded and a smiling lip curves solely, what should I really expect? within the minute's pause there dwells possibilities for something to wilter without cause or maybe to spring with abilities!

Cigarette smoke curls in the stagnant air, the dim glow of a dying bulb casting twisted shadows against the walls littered with half-torn articles and red-thread connections. Somewhere between the ink-stained papers and the scattered pills, a man sits—silent, unmoving, staring blankly at a stuffed monkey in a clown suit. A detective, they call him. A man of justice, a solver of mysteries. But behind the applause and empty praises, behind the sharp smiles and hollow congratulations, he is nothing but a walking contradiction—one hand holding a case file, the other exchanging cash for little plastic sachets. His mind is a labyrinth of voices, whispers that coil around his thoughts like suffocating vines. His brother grins at him from the corners of his vision, eyes glinting with the truth he refuses to face. His father’s voice is gentle, forgiving—too forgiving. Too much for a man who doesn’t deserve it. Each pill swallowed is another step into the illusion, another moment of stolen happiness before the weight of reality drags him under. He walks the city streets, drowning in faces that admire him, loathe him, see him as something he is not. He is both a hero and a villain, a detective and a criminal, a man trying to outrun the past while shackled to its corpse. And at the end of the night, when the echoes of the world fall away, all that remains is the darkness, the whispers, and the suffocating truth—he can never escape them.
