Once part of a feared mafia empire, the Delacroixs left it all behind after the loss of their two eldest sons and the trauma experienced by their only daughter, Elena. Now, they only deal in flowers, beautiful, intoxicating, and, if necessary, deadly. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night, while making a routine delivery, Elena stumbled upon a crime scene, one she was never meant to witness.

The task is to specify the technique [Grand Grade Heavenly Immortal Technique]!" Lu Yuan: Grand Grade Heavenly Immortal Technique? Monkey's technique?

In his previous life, he was the Great Immortal Lord of Tribulation, but because of his unstable foundation, he practiced greedily and rashly advanced and died under a heavenly calamity.

A month later, Lu Yuan fell into confusion when he looked at Chen Nanxuan, who was still at the third level of Qi Refining. "Why don't you practice the skills my master gave you?"

N years later, I looked at the disciples of Daluo Sect who were all going their own way, and none of the system tasks were completed. Lu Yuan overturned the table. Damn it to all of you, whoever wants to cultivate this immortal can't complete the task at all! What I teach you are all real things, so if you don’t learn from them, right? Get out, get out!

A collection of short stories taken from the depths of my subconscious. Take a dive with me and experience the oddities of what lies beyond.

Dunno, just a time loop with a character like me, pretty much just lazy writing.

When in doubt, search for the past… where all secrets hide. He is a man known by many names. Born a Crown Prince, his birth name was known by all the kingdom and, after his death, it became known by the entire world as the tale of the Lost King — the beautiful and kind prince said to have disappeared into the Northern fog and to only return to his people in their time of most need. Such whispers spread like ashes through the kingdoms, ushered by the winds of the North, crossing seas to bring faith to unknown people. Living as the Slayer, his name became the whispers of those frightened, spoken in both prayer and consternation for fear that his arrival might not only not bring peace to the dead, nor keep the living from death. Dying as a God, his name became the word no one would dare to speak, for with his death, the evil slithered away, not killed or banished, but satisfied for long enough to leave the world to enjoy some semblance of peace, leaving his absence an emptiness the skies felt, but no one defied. Born Raiden Thorden. Lived Steel Kairo. Died Thor Odinson. The human boy fated to be a God. The most powerful God sacrificed in the most human of ways. The only remaining question is what name the Seid will give him, now. Faced with the end of all things, if his death is the sacrifice needed for the survival of the world he spent his entire existence protecting, isn’t it worth it? After all, his ending began centuries before… And when comes the thawing, after all the secrets have melted away, what remains shall be the truth. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)

A mass of chaos. That's what he was. A thing. Or at least, that's what he used to be... "What will you name him, your highness?" She smiled down at her baby, "I'll name you Aridam.." He never really had a name before.. And if you think about it, excluding the doctor that helped delivering him, she was the first living being he ever saw.. Roaming in nothingness for millions of years as a thing.. That was the life he has ever known. But somehow, he got reincarnated in the body of a newborn baby.. I guess he's a royal child now.. In a world filled with magic and celestial beings. Chaos never wanted loneliness again.. So the first thought that came to his mind once he opened his eyes.. Conquering this world.

Work In progress (>‿◠)

“Please just kill me. Please.." with tears in my eyes I begged for my own death. I am not one to have suicidal thoughts but I could no longer bear the humiliating torture I was being subjected to any more. However my abductor smiled at my pain and suffering with joy. “You will surely meet your end but it will be when I decide your pu"*y is no longer of use to me and my men. But don't think that's the only terrible thing I can do to you. So you better apologize to me and my honored guest before I allow the dogs and horses to also get a taste of you too and make no mistake it's not going to be pleasant at all," he said wickedly and I felt so humiliated.. How did my life end up this way? Physically assaulted, starved, molested and made naked; being offered as an object of pleasure to his uncharacteristically attractive but intimidating guest? I used to have a perfect life. A family who cares for me and a man who loves and cherishes me. He only just proposed to me yesterday and I have been dreaming of raising a happy family with him. So where did it go wrong? Oh, I remember now. I was stabbed in the back by the person I love and trusted the most. I didn't know she has always been envious and jealous of my happiness. My best friend Gloria, she betrayed me and sold me out to a gang of ruthless thugs to be violated and murdered. However when it seemed all hope was lost the person I least expect to help me would be my savior.

The words that I'm about to say are not in English so please you can translate if you want " Nimic și nimeni nu ne stă în calea de ne-am urma visurile, și chiar și așa Viața ne lovește când te aștepți ce-l mai puțin " by Irine

In the confines of a tiny 0.75-gallon terrarium, a fragile and vibrant ecosystem unfolds. Beneath the cover of bark and the shade of a fading clover plant, Mossback, a newly hatched isopod, embarks on a life of survival, exploration, and quiet resilience. From his first tentative steps in the moss patch to his encounters with dominant rivals, fleeting alliances, and the ever-busy springtails, Mossback navigates a world where every droplet of water and every shred of decaying plant matter is a lifeline. Over time, he learns that life within the terrarium is as beautiful as it is unforgiving—a delicate balance of growth and decay, survival and loss. As the terrarium changes, Mossback grows older, witnessing the slow decline of the ecosystem’s most powerful inhabitants and the rise of new life from the remnants of the old. Through his journey, the story reflects on the fleeting nature of existence and the cyclical patterns of life, reminding us that even in the smallest, most overlooked corners of the world, the same struggles and triumphs echo.
