A Broken Old Man Awaiting The Icy Grip Of Death

Eve Thompson found herself waking up in the bed of S City's most eligible bachelor with his arm around her waist, but she only had her mother's words in her mind.

"You have to get Mr. Charlie to marry you, everything we have depends on it!" said she. It was a shame, for the man beside him closely resembled the man she'd lost many years ago.

However, she never had a birthmark. It could never be her. Was their encounter coincidental? What would their hidden past reveal!? Join Eve Thompson on her exciting journey of courtship and political espionage as she steps into the shoes of her twin sister's now-abandoned life and tries to save her family by winning the heart of the mysterious bachelor, Anthony Charlie!

Warning! Addiction ahead. [Change in synopsis is in points below] ****** There are many things that I hate to the point of loathing. But what I hate most about this scenario is a hero who screws up. I mean sure, he can do whatever he wants. But all I'm asking is not to be naïve. This is a story about how I got transmigrated into the world of a novel, about how I tolerated the naïve MC whose actions were no better than a four years old even though he had regressed. And how I, the side character, or a small villain one could say, had to clean up the messes made by the hero and his party. ******** The synopsis might not be that compelling but I'm still learning folks. I hope you give this novel a read until the free chapters before you decide whether to drop it or keep reading it. Looking forward to working with all of you! Stay tuned! A few points: 1: The cover is A.I generated and it is completely mine. 2: The new update schedule is one chapter per day. But the option of bonus chapters is now available. 3: [100 power stones= 1 bonus chapter] [300 power stones= 2 bonus chapters] [5 golden tickets= 1 bonus chapter] 4: The free release ends at 50 chapters. 5: Please, Please, Please, Do not hesitate to point out my mistakes as they will help me improve my novel. Any suggestions that you have are also welcome. 6: Most importantly, do not forget to write a review. Whatever you think. Don't hesitate.

It was as if a life before this had never existed at all. The scent of blood permeated throughout his nose and memory itself—deeply ingrained as if it were a nightmare. He thought that it would soon end. That he would awaken, and everything he had experienced was all just a cruel joke. If not, he had promised himself to end it. He'd take his own life. Despite this, part of him wanted to keep going. A deep longing and belief for a light at the end of the road. His leg was limp. Face was bathed in blood. The only thing that got him to turn around was the deafeningly silent and slow steps echoing from down the cave. He wasn't alone. --------------- This book is competing in WSA. Any support/feedback would be great! Gonna aim for at least 700 words per chapter, so keep that in mind. (The cover was made by me)

The year is 2800. Earth is a fractured wasteland, torn apart by centuries of war, greed, and neglect. World War III left the planet in ruins, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Desperate to survive, many merged their bodies with machines, blurring the line between human and machine. Cyborgs walk among the living, their existence a testament to humanity's desperate fight to endure. When Earth became uninhabitable, humanity turned to Mars, transforming the barren planet into a new home. But Mars changed its people in ways no one expected. Generations of evolution and technological intervention made Martians smarter, more adaptive, but weaker than their Earthborn counterparts. The two worlds grew apart, their fragile peace poisoned by mistrust and disdain. As tensions rise between Earth and Mars, whispers of conflict grow louder. In a world where freedom is a fading memory, survival is the only battle that matters. But survival comes at a cost, and the shadows of the past loom large over both worlds. In Shadow of the Broken, humanity faces its greatest challenge yet—not from an external threat, but from the fractures within. Can the broken pieces of two worlds find a way to mend, or will their hatred and fear lead to their ultimate downfall? The fight for survival begins. But in the shadow of the broken, will there ever be light again?

When the empire falls to the might of Alcardia, Everett’s chains are no longer metaphorical. Captured and powerless, he faces a new reality under the rule of his conquerors. But the matriarch of Alcardia offers him a harrowing choice: execute the emperor he once served or watch the innocent lives he swore to protect perish alongside him. As Everett struggles with the weight of his decision, memories of betrayal and loss resurface, forcing him to confront the broken legacy he carries. In a world that only sees him as a weapon, can Everett reclaim his humanity—or will he forever remain the empire’s broken sword? Legacy of the Broken Sword is a dark, emotional journey of power, sacrifice, and redemption, exploring the burden of loyalty and the cost of a life defined by violence.

◾ SYNOPSIS◾ He stood motionlessly, his cloth dripping of excess muddy liquid, his gaze fixed on the retreating petite figure, riding away on her bicycle. His face was as phlegmatic as ever, his icy stare lingering on the lucky lass. "Just say the word, Zay", his friend nudged. An almost inaudible sigh escaped his lips. He dug his finger into his hair, ruffling it a bit. He turned around and walked towards his car, not even sparing his friend a glance. As soon as he gets in, he shuts the car door, placing his head on the car's head rest while closing his eyes. His men understood the message and put down their guns. Jove shook his head and turned to walk to the car. "It's your first time, dude. What the heck happened?" He asked, walking into the car. "Take the wheels, Damon." His mesmerizing yet cold voice rang, ignoring Jove's question. Jove sighed dramatically and leant back on the seat, bringing out his phone - he was used to his best friend already. Zayde Stoll was the name. His name alone triggered lots of emotions - love, admiration, fear, hatred and every other feelings one could possibly have. He was dangerously handsome; an exact opposite of his real self. At 25, he already was the world's youngest billionaire, having the least number of ten companies in each country. His name made great men fall to their knees and everyone wondered how his fame grew that much. He was known to be eerily cold and he killed without second thoughts. He only needed to say the word and whoever would drop at his feet. He was a real description of a merciless demigod and people shook when he entered college. Jove was his best friend and the only person he talks to aside his Dad, despite their very striking differences. Jove complimented his name - he was one hell of a jovial person and really cheerful...but the heck, he was the world's biggest player. Although he condemned the manner with which Zayde handled his victims, he knew he couldn't do anything about it, having known Zayde since childhood. "Damon! You want to kill us?!" Jove suddenly yelled, yanking off the earpiece he had on. He had fallen back on impulse from the near death crash they barely escaped. He glanced at Zayde, a mistake at first, because the latter never acted like something just happened. His men kept stoic faces too, leaving him dumbfounded. "Am I the only living thing in this car? Because Damon almost sent us to our earliest graves and none of you will f**cking tell me you didn't see that!" Jove yelled. He was this close to being infuriated. Damon chuckled loudly. "It was only a mistake", he said with a shrug. "Yeah, a mistake that would've marked an end to my beautiful life", he said bluntly, his voice unable to mask the sarcasm. "You should be shameless at times, Jove." Boris said, turning back to look at Jove. Just then, Zayde put on his headphone with a slightly irritated huff, a clear indication everyone were disturbing him. They all shut up at once, returning to their previous activities. "You'll watch them kill me one day." Jove mumbled, sinking down into the seat.

Jayden Bastille, in his third year of college, had lived a seemingly peaceful life — until tragedy struck. His world shattered when his only sister, Uriana, was murdered after going missing following a meeting with her boyfriend. Consumed by rage, Jayden confronted the boyfriend, only to find him dead. When the police investigated, they ruled the death as a suicide following a homicide. However, Jayden, despite not being an expert in the matter, knew the wounds on his sister and her boyfriend were far from a simple murder-suicide.
