My Smile Diary An Illustrated Journal With Prompts

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about (and meant to be about) the average slow paced life and interests of an average person. The aim is to keep this for general audiences and not go down the romance route, so that my little nieces and nephews can read this as an example of how to write rubbish - uh, I mean fiction. Unfortunately, my imagination and brain keep running away with the plot and taking it down the adult fiction route... So, sorry, my little nieces and nephews. You won't be reading this version of the story. No way. Your parents might decide to silence me and then you would no longer have a fun aunty to teach you useless knowledge.

Finn just graduated from highschool in the inner city of Nueva Sevilla. As he enters the college in his civil engineering course, he gets elected as Class Mayor. Knowing that he is an introvert and needs to come out of his shell, will he ever fulfill his role?

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

In the forgotten outskirts of Kurohana City, a chilling legend whispers through alleyways and dreams — of a being that smiles in the dark. When 17-year-old Rei Kazuki starts seeing twisted grins in mirrors and shadows that follow him too closely, he believes he’s losing his mind. But the truth is far worse. The Smiling Shadow — a primordial entity long erased from history — has chosen him. Bound by an ancient curse, Rei is thrust into a hidden war between cursed bloodlines, rogue exorcists, and eldritch beasts that dwell beneath the surface of reality. As the line between dream and nightmare fades, Rei must confront a question no one dares to ask: What happens when the darkness starts to smile back? Some doors should never be opened. Some names should never be remembered. And some smiles… should never be seen. A/N: I will be posting this novel on RoyalRoad.com

Maybe someone in the audience understands me :) I just want everyone to know that no matter what you’re going through, there will always be someone there for you TW: mentions of self harm, suicidal, grooming, narcissism, racism, hatred, self hatred, triggers, you get the point

Octa was a boy without grand ambitions. Throughout his life, he had moved forward only by chasing someone else’s dream. He once believed that he would feel truly alive once he fulfilled his mentor’s ambition, but he was terribly wrong. When he found a book in an old warehouse, the boy did not expect it to affect him as he read the pages that contained the thoughts of a person who was born long before he was, perhaps even before Chironex, the place where he was raised, was created. The boy gave the figure the name Mr. Camellia, which came from a hand-painted Camellia flower on the cover.  It was because of the book that he realized that he could have his own dreams and ambitions, it was because of the book that the young man was driven to leave the place where he grew up and descend to the original land that had human history before civilization existed.  But he did not expect that the ground he stepped on would be white, and the wind he felt on his skin would be chilled to the bone.  Octa had no idea that the land he encountered when he descended from the sky was a frozen land. at least the young man was not alone.

In a grim, decaying city plagued by rising crime and moral collapse, a string of brutal and bizarre killings sends shockwaves through the population. Each murder is different — some are messy, others surgical. Men, women, children, the elderly — no one is safe, and no pattern connects the victims.

The media spirals into hysteria, calling the killer 'The smile', while police are left paralyzed by the sheer randomness of the murders. Leading the investigation is Detective Leo, a logical and seasonal detective, with his partner, Alex, who was a shy, and quiet officer who was also his childhood best friend.
