When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.

His hand moves to my hair, brushing the tip in a sexual manner. He closed the gap between us, his hand stopping me from escaping through the sides. "What do you want with me?"

For millennia, the supreme deity Chi ruled the pantheon of ancient Nigerian gods with balance and wisdom. But when Chi suddenly stepped down without appointing a successor, chaos erupted among the four most powerful gods—Ogun of Iron and Lightning, Sango the Storm Bringer, Baba Aye the Master of Earth and Spirits, and the River Goddess Osara. What followed was a devastating war that threatened to tear the world apart. In the midst of this chaos stood Ekwensu—the trickster god, misunderstood and feared. Seeing the looming destruction of the world, Ekwensu made the ultimate sacrifice: using cunning and power, he sealed away the warring gods, ending their reigns—but at a cost. Branded a villain and destroyer, Ekwensu was hunted by mortals and gods alike. In a final act of redemption, he shattered his own essence into soul weapons scattered across the universe and took his own life, ensuring reincarnation every 200 years. Now, in a futuristic but deeply traditional Nigeria, war looms again. Strange natural disasters and divine signs signal the return of old powers. The gods are awakening—but corrupted and unstable. A secret coalition from the four god-kingdoms sends their most powerful teenage warriors on a mission: find the reincarnated Ekwensu, reunite him with his soul weapons, and restore balance… or risk annihilation. But they’re not the only ones hunting him.

Synopsis 1: What came first? The chicken or the egg? Those questions were one of the most mystical and debated topics to have ever existed. Pulling in the most narrow-minded people to fistfight and barrages of spit lacquering everything around. But that wasn't of any concern to Fu Wen. Such thoughts were lost to him for now. Snagging his attractive neighbor was just one of Fu Wen's accomplishment at the moment. So he was having a great day—no, the PERFECT day, rather. Because not only had he the fruits of six months bore a hot boyfriend. Tonight, he's gonna warm up bed for the first time in his life. But of course, a perfect day doesn't include accidents. But it also does not include that the said perfect day was just a hatched plan to make it seem perfect. For all the imagination he had in mind, Fu Wen never expected death. Synopsis 2: No one knows whether death was truly the end. The beginning. Or simply the void itself. Fu Wen's definition never had any of that. Having been ensnared in the pits of debts, such philosophical outlook was really unneeded. But now that he died, one thing that Fu Wen has proved is that life exist. Magic exist. And to make it even better, local folks here were like morsels. Something to salivate at. The only problem is that he isn't up to par to strike a conversation with them. Synopsis 3: Fu Wen never played games. Well, he did. But working to settle all the unwarranted debts burdening his teenage life to his mid-twenties made him forget the essence of that word. But now that he died, Fu Wen considered that the floating words must be his retribution for not playing games at all. Ah, absurd. Fat chance. A shallow reason and a shallow depiction of life. Fu Wen died and reincarnated for a reason. He didn't know why, but when he finds out what for and with whom, a variety of splendid and macabre words would overflow his mouth. For starters, fuck it. Girthier than Zou Yun's.

If there was an object that could grant any wish you wanted, what would you ask for? Most would ask for wealth and prosperity, while those who are sick would probably ask for health and safety. It sounds impossible, but what if something like that actually existed? ... Kirigaya Yuuya, a corporate slave, found himself in an unimaginable situation. After doing a good deed for a beggar, he was given a magical candy that supposedly granted wishes.

Everything was going well for him: a well-earning job, a car, a home, but then he was tossed into a world of immortals, in the body of Jade Beauty of all things! ------- Hello, there. I'd written this novel a while back and only recently picked it up again, and decided to post it. I write mostly for fun, so uh... I can guarantee no update consistency. I will try to post 3 to 4 chapters a week, but again, I can't guarantee anything. PS: This is a Gender Bender work. If you dislike that, this is not for you; just don't give it a bad rating/review for that. However, Gender Bender does not have much relevance to the story. This was an idea I had a long time ago when I'd read the first Transmigrated-into-Villain/Young Master story. That's when I wondered what if it was written from the perspective of the Jade Beauty instead? So, I came up with the idea of some guy transmigration into the body of one. But at the time, I despised the 'conflict' that came with the category, so I kinda skipped the entire thing. So don't expect gender identity issues from this story - even if there are, it will be resolved in a few chapters at most. This is primarily a Progression Fantasy/Power Fantasy from a Jade Beauty's perspective. Though, you can also think of it as an amateur author's way of escaping his responsibilities and not studying the female psyche deeply. Like I said - I write for fun. PPS: I don't have much writing experience and I do want to improve, so your critiques are welcome. Just don't be too harsh - my glass heart might just break. PPPS: MC will be extremely strong in her Cultivation Stage - and the strongest later on, but that doesn't mean much in the Cultivation World, where there is always a 'Heaven beyond the Heavens'. PPPPS: This is still a WIP. I have the general plot idea in mind, but nothing concrete. Plus, I haven't made the mechanics of this world as concrete as I would like. So, I might make minor changes here and there. If I do make such changes, I'll do it retroactively across all relevant chapters. So, early readers might get a little confused, and I apologise for that. Of course, I'll post a note when I do make changes. PPPPPS: This story will take a while to pick up. So don't expect MC to have tremendous odds stacked against her from the very beginning. In fact, this will be more slice-of-life at the beginning.

"I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com," The Memory Merchant Prologue – The Confession of a Memory Dealer My name is Minjae Kang. I'm 29 years old, and I’m a memory dealer. At 7 a.m., like clockwork, I open the door to a small shop with a sign that reads Memorium. At first glance, it looks like a regular café. But instead of coffee, we deal in memories—buying, selling, storing, and even healing them. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who want to remember, and those who desperately want to forget. I exist in the space between them—sometimes like a doctor, sometimes like a therapist, and sometimes, just someone who listens. But when it comes to my own memories… I only have the last three years. Everything before that is shrouded in mist, like a dream I can't quite hold onto. Sometimes I hear a voice in my sleep, a faint echo from the past. But the moment I wake up, it vanishes— “Hyung… why did you do it…” Last night, I had the same dream again. Someone was crying, calling out to me. But I don’t know who they are—or why they’re weeping. Today, I’ll step into someone else’s memories again. I’ll walk through another person’s life, feel their pain and joy, and sometimes carry their burdens for them. And still, I wonder… Who am I, really? And how did I end up in this strange line of work?
