No More Bens

A lonely girl and a bird — both unable to fly in their own ways — share a silent friendship. She talks to the bird more than people. The bird listens. Sometimes, it sings. But as days pass, its feathers lose color, and its voice fades. The girl learns that the bird doesn’t sing not because it doesn’t love her, but because it sees no sky anymore. And when someone has no sky… They forget how to sing. A short and tender story about emotional captivity, quiet love, and learning to open the cage — even when it hurts .

Prologue: The Boy Who Refused to Stop Thinking In a world where power meant everything, Cian Archdemon had nothing. No family. No friends. No protection. Only his mind — sharp, cold, relentless — was his weapon. The polished marble floors of Blackthorn International Academy glistened beneath the morning light, but no one noticed the beauty. Not when the stench of privilege, cruelty, and blood stained the halls. They hated him. A boy with no parents — dead in a car crash. A boy with no lineage — an outsider among the elite. A boy with sharp features, ghost-like skin, and eyes too cold, too calculating for a child. A boy… too curious. They cornered him. They bit him. They broke him. And as their fists crashed into his frail body… as blood pooled beneath him… Cian didn’t cry. Didn’t scream. Didn’t feel. He only thought. “Pain receptors… neural override… interesting… I wonder how long the body can survive on thought alone…” Even as his body collapsed onto the floor — his vision darkening, his chest refusing to rise — Cian's mind refused to die. And when the world around him finally faded… something else pulled him in. --- Elsewhere… across realms… In a grand palace filled with ancient magic and roaring beasts, a desperate kingdom cried out to the heavens. Their prince — their future — his soul shattered. His body empty. They summoned salvation. But fate… delivered something far more dangerous. --- Cian's fragmented soul… still whispering scientific theories… answered the call. His blood-stained consciousness was torn from death… Fused into a foreign body… Bound by ancient magic… And resurrected… Not as the boy they expected… but as the anomaly they could never control. Beast blood pumping through unfamiliar veins. A Curiosity System mutating within his soul. A mind… still overthinking. Still dissecting. Still unkillable. And as his eyes slowly opened in this new world… The only thing Cian felt was quiet, maddening excitement. “New environment detected… Variables unknown… Hypothesis: This world… will be my greatest experiment.” --- The boy who died thinking… was not gone. He had only just begun. --- Cian Archdemon: Beast of Curiosity The experiment begins now…

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.

Her name was, but now is not known, she is no longer worthy to even be recognized as a person. She killed her mother, who was sickly all her life and caused her sister to commit suicide. She killed her best friend Anith accidentally, and her childhood crush who confessed his feelings to her, was killed. All because of him. Even though he has practically ruined her life she keeps going back to him. She keeps wanting his cold short ended warmth. She claims to hate it but finds his obsessive love with her to be comforting. She knows that even though she doesn't deserve anything, not even to die, for that would be considered mercy, he is the only acception, for he doesn't deserve anything either.

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

They took his name. His blood. His throne. Now, he takes everything.

It’s a world that tests what you are. And somewhere within it lies a power that remembers him. Even though he has no idea why.
