Massé Life

I used to be disenchanted of my own hands. Not in some weird psychological way—though maybe it was psychological, who knows. I mean literally afraid that my hands would betray me at the worst possible moment. Which they did. Constantly. Job interviews, presentations, first dates. Anytime people were watching and waiting for me to perform, my fingers would go numb and my brain would just... shut off. Like someone pulled the power cord. I called it ATSM—Anxiety That Stiffens Muscles. Stupid name, but I'm a programmer. I like labeling things, even when I can't fix them. The worst part? It killed my one real passion. I used to love billiards. Was actually decent at it, back in college. But after... well, after something happened that I don't really want to get into right now, I couldn't hold a cue stick without falling apart. So I did what any rational person would do: I gave up. Got a safe job, worked long hours, convinced myself I didn't need hobbies anyway. That plan worked great for about fifteen years. Then I made the mistake of running my mouth on TikTok, challenging the Queen of Nine-Ball to a match. Because apparently when you're having a midlife crisis, the smart move is to embarrass yourself in front of the best billiards player in Southeast Asia. This plot is about what happened after that. It's about meeting people who refused to let me quit, learning to fail in public without dying, and discovering that sometimes the only way forward is to go back and face the thing that broke you in the first place. It's also about billiards, obviously. But mostly it's about being brave enough to suck at something you love, in front of people who matter.

My Silver-Haired Classmate Only Speaks Her Heart in Russian

Alexei "Alex" Nakamura thought his biggest challenge in high school would be maintaining his perfect grades while hiding his monstrous intellect. He never expected it would be pretending he couldn't understand the beautiful Russian phrases whispered by his silver-haired classmate. Katarina "Katya" Volkov is the picture of composure—cool, elegant, and untouchable. With her striking silver hair and piercing blue eyes inherited from her Russian heritage, she commands respect from classmates and teachers alike. But Alex knows her secret: when she thinks no one can understand, Katya reveals her true feelings in soft Russian whispers that would make even the most confident person blush. "Он такой умный... почему мое сердце так бьется?" (He's so smart... why does my heart beat like this?) What Katya doesn't know is that Alex understands every word. Born to a family with hidden international connections, he's been fluent in Russian since childhood. Every "дурак" (fool) she mutters when he acts oblivious, every "красивый" (handsome) she whispers when she thinks he's not looking, every heartfelt confession she makes in her mother tongue—he hears it all. The irony is delicious, the tension unbearable, and Alex finds himself caught between wanting to protect her secret and desperately wanting to respond to her hidden confessions. As they navigate the complexities of high school life—from cultural festivals where Katya's heritage shines to study sessions where their intellectual rivalry blooms into something deeper—Alex must decide when to reveal his secret. But the longer he waits, the more complicated their relationship becomes. When she discovers the truth, will she be mortified by everything she's unknowingly revealed, or will she realize that someone has been treasuring every word she thought was safely hidden? From the hallways of their multicultural high school to the prestigious universities that will shape their futures, from their meteoric rises in their respective career paths to the altar where two cultures unite, Alex and Katya's love story unfolds across the years. It's a tale of two intellectual people learning that the most difficult language to master isn't Russian or Japanese—it's the language of the heart. Sometimes the most beautiful confessions are the ones we think no one else can understand. Sometimes the person who understands us best is the one we least expect. And sometimes, love speaks louder in whispered Russian than it ever could in any other language. __________________ Tags: Romance, Slice of life, High school, Comedy

Re : Life

Ale, the 'Incarnation of an ancient saint', 'An angel', 'The right hand of God', he goes by many names within the people of his duchy. And just like those names suggests, he's a kind, understanding, smart yet down to earth soul, someone you'd look for in times of despair.He was like a Messiah, an example for others to look up to. And he achieved all that within three years. Before that, nobody even acknowledged his existence. Now, you may ask what could've happened three years ago that changed him like this, which gave birth to this hero. To answer your question, it's 'death'. He died. Not three years ago but twenty years into the future. He died twenty years later in the future and then came back to the past, to the beginning of everything, to a time where nothing had gone wrong. He lived a miserable life and died a miserable death. All he wanted was to do was help people and be a good person, but what he received in return was a world of pain, the death of his loved ones and the title of 'The betrayer of humanity'. It was him against the entire world, a life full of misunderstanding. Yet, all he did was helping a wounded soul. He received all that for helping someone he shouldn't have, for befriending someone he should've killed at first site. He befriended a demon. But it was all in the past now. The future he experienced no longer existed. The naïve young master was no longer there. The Ale of present was a person with knowledge, experience and skill unlike no other. And this time, he wasn't going to repeat the mistakes of his past anymore. He wasn't going to walk a road of ignorance and foolishness. This time, what path will he choose? In this second chance, what mistakes will he undo and what enemies will he need to deal with? Will he be able to save his loved ones in this life? And in the end, what will happen to Ale, this man full of unseen scars and wounds? Will he actually be able to heal?
