Deku And Stain

Masks and Deceit

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?" Davina stumbled backward as she stared at Caspian in shock and disbelief, unsure of what to do to save herself from that situation. "Let me rephrase my question." Caspian delicately grazed Davina's cheeks with the back of his hand. "Are you really a man?" ***** With a bounty on her head and the need for a place to stay, Davina snuck into the castle of Lendorr, posing as a man in the royal army. Luckily for her, she was able to get away with her ruse easily that is, until she met the mysterious Lord Caspian. She is tasked with being one of his guards all while trying to avoid getting caught by the man who made it his life's mission to ruin her plan. Through a twisted game of deceit, Davina is forced to make a grave choice between Love and the REAL reason why she snuck into the castle.

Stained Sand

Title: Stained Sand In the bustling streets of Mumbai, Rohan, an ordinary high school student, has learned to live with the occasional tremors of life—both literal and metaphorical. However, when an inexplicable event disturbs the peaceful rhythm of his world, Rohan finds himself trapped in a surreal battle between reality and something far more sinister. One morning, while Rohan gets up with playful teasing from his younger siblings, Aarav and Aryan, there is something in the air that is very disconcerting: sand everywhere in great and menacing stretches, as if overnight, has swallowed up the familiar world. The streets start shifting, the school ground begins to shift, even the skies seem to have had the laws of nature torn apart. There's something unnatural with the sand, a weight in the air-as if eyes were watching him, waiting for him to make a move. It all happens when Rohan finds himself faced with a strange man who comes from the sky, garbed in flowing white robes, and tells him that he is very, very far from ordinary. Actually, Rohan leads a life full of hidden powers, wanted by darker forces, even though he has lived an apparently very mundane life in Mumbai. As the man with strange abilities challenged Rohan, manipulating the sand around them into deadly weapons and illusions, Rohan realized that he was no longer a student. He would have to stand up to the forces of this mysterious stranger, who either wanted to wake up his latent powers or destroy him once and for all. With the sand constantly shifting, it reveals more and more of its secrets, and Rohan comes to understand that his life is connected to something much greater than he could have ever imagined: bound by ancient powers, forgotten gods, and a dimension-spanning conflict. Torn by his own identity and the depth of his powers, Rohan must fight his way through this new world full of fatal enemies, obscured truths, and dark alliances. But sand is not his only enemy: old friends, childhood memories, and even the ones he loves may be part of a larger game that may destroy everything he holds dear. Can Rohan find out about his powers before it is too late, or will the dunes of destiny bury him and the world in an eternal storm?

Transmigrator And Regressor

It's a long story, it's still long even when I shorten it. So let me tell you his story. Once upon a time, there's an ordinary man who lived in a peaceful world. Where everyone could do something they do without any hindrance. He is reaching 28 years old and working in a ordinary company. Completely ordinary until one day, he died by getting hit by a car. ( If he doesn't die, how did this story happened? ) He thought that's the end and succumbed to the ethereal dark and calmness. Then suddenly there's something waking him up even though he can't feel nothing. When he opened his eyes, unfamiliar ceiling greet him. A apartment ceiling, no something more like a suite as the details and furniture around his room looked expensive. At first it was confusing and after a long thought on what happened. He got to know that he got transmigrated into the novel he used to read. A new world filled with adventure, excitement, magic, and fantasy. But he doesn't want to get involved in any of that. He wants to enjoy his new life. Do something he can't do before. But everything didn't go as he planned. A few years later, this beautiful world got attacked by an entity who claimed to be a god. Even the overpowered protagonist got defeat in one hit. The world got split in half just by a gesture from his finger. Desperation and despair washed over his face. Maybe there's a reason he got transmigrated there. It's all because of his abilities, adaption. Using that abilities, he tried to fight these entity. During that fight, he able to save one person but failed to save another one person. Even though he win after a long fight. Everything already been destroyed. Until, in front of him appeared a holographic blue screen. With one word attached on it. [ RESTART ]

Blood Stained: The Sun Kissed Alpha

Theon’s lips curled into a defiant smile, though his heart pounded in his chest. “Perhaps,” he replied. “But I’ve learned that losing everything makes a man impossible to break.” *************** Theon Quintin, the Sun-Kissed Prince, once lived a life of grandeur as the beloved heir to the Quintin Kingdom. With golden hair that shone like sunlight and a smile that captivated all, he was destined for greatness. But everything changed when his darkest secret was revealed. “A prince who cannot uphold the pride of an alpha is no prince of mine,” the king declared. “Leave, and never darken the gates of this castle again.” Banished and disgraced, Theon was cast out into a world that viewed him as an anomaly—an alpha who had conceived a child. In a time when alphas were revered as dominant and unyielding, his existence was seen as a shameful contradiction. Stripped of his title and home, Theon rebuilt himself from nothing. Years passed, and whispers of his brilliance began to spread through the kingdoms. But when his path crosses with that of Skye Romanov, the powerful and enigmatic king of a neighboring land, Theon finds himself drawn into a web of politics, power, and forbidden desire. Skye, the King of Eryndale, is as ruthless as he is magnetic. Known for his mysterious aura and commanding presence, he has no equal. When he catches sight of Theon, their connection is instant—a spark that neither can deny. But as they navigate the treacherous waters of alliances and betrayals, they must confront the forces that seek to tear them apart. In a world where their love is forbidden and their positions make them enemies, can Theon and Skye find a way to defy destiny and claim a love that could reshape kingdoms? Excerpt. “You stand before a king,” Skye murmured, his voice low and steady, carrying the weight of unspoken challenge. “Do you truly believe you have something to offer me?” Theon met his gaze without wavering, his golden hair catching the dim candlelight of the throne room. He was no longer the prince who trembled at the thought of failure; the years had carved resilience into his soul. “I do,” Theon said softly, his voice steady yet filled with quiet conviction. “You may be the king of this land, but even a king needs someone to stand beside him.” Skye tilted his head, a flicker of amusement dancing in his sharp, dark eyes. “And you think you’re that person?” he asked, leaning forward slightly as though daring Theon to falter. “Yes,” Theon replied without hesitation. “Because unlike everyone else, I’m not afraid of the man behind the crown.”

Stardust and Memories

At some point in the future, technology and human greed together pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Floating cities in the sky became the refuge for elites, while the surface world turned into ruins, leaving only the remnants of humanity struggling to survive. “Stardust and Memories” unfolds in such a broken future. The book tells the story of Eno, a once-hopeful scientist who lost his beloved fiancée, Aelia, in an accident, along with his faith in creating a better future for humanity. Aelia’s death not only altered the course of his life but also plunged him into endless regret and pain. His only hope is to use a mysterious device—the Memory Recaller—to return to the past and change that fateful moment, saving Aelia’s life. However, the price of this journey is far heavier than he ever imagined. “Stardust and Memories” is not only a science fiction novel set in a future world but also a profound exploration of time, love, and redemption. As Eno continually seeks to reverse the past, he discovers that true salvation lies not in changing what has happened, but in how to face the present, how to endure loss, and how to choose a new path for the future. In this story, the coldness of technology intertwines with the warmth of human emotions, and the characters’ emotional conflicts become even more vivid against the backdrop of a bleak future. Whether it’s the undying love between Eno and Aelia or his partnership with Sena as they face an uncertain future together, every relationship carries the weight of human struggle and hope in the darkest of times. “Stardust and Memories” explores the passage of time, the irreversibility of memory, and the resilience and courage humans display when faced with the unpredictability of fate. We all have moments when we wish we could change the past, but this book reminds us that sometimes, the real strength lies not in returning to the past but in how we embrace the present and choose to face the future. This book is dedicated to those who seek hope in the midst of pain and find their way forward through loss. It is my hope that Eno’s story will resonate with a part of the reader’s heart, reminding us that every moment of loss is the starting point for our journey into the future.

Blade and Miracle

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger.
