Mother Celeste: Written By Darius Clayton In a world where fame is a double-edged sword, Celeste becomes a global phenomenon after her meteoric rise in the music industry. At just 24 years old, she is pulled into The Circle, an elite and secretive cult with sinister ties to the entertainment industry. Her fame soars, but at a steep price—her freedom, her body, and the sacrifices of the life she once envisioned for herself. Over the years, Celeste battles the trappings of power and control, forging fragile connections with those around her. Her younger sister, Rollie, becomes a rising star in her own right, but at the cost of her own dreams of family. Her estranged husband, Liam, fights to love her despite the insurmountable wall of secrets dividing them. And Eleanor Vaughn, a mysterious woman with complete control over Celeste’s career, proves to be both her benefactor and greatest tormentor. Through devastating betrayals, hidden pregnancies, and the unbearable weight of her decisions, Celeste learns the painful truth: she will always be bound to the life she created, one of sacrifices and shadows. When Marcus and Julian, figures from her past, return to reveal shocking secrets, Celeste’s tenuous grasp on her world begins to unravel. As she pens her Pop Rock masterpiece, In Circles, Celeste attempts to reclaim her voice and identity, even as The Circle tightens its grip. Her fame reaches unprecedented heights, rivaling the likes of Michael Jackson, but it comes with the crushing realization that she is both a legend and a prisoner of her own creation. Spanning a decade, Mother Celeste explores themes of power, love, sacrifice, and self-acceptance. In the end, Celeste is left standing as a symbol of resilience and survival in the face of impossible choices. Her life, riddled with tragedy and triumph, is both an inspiration and a cautionary tale. Her journey is one of strength and sorrow, proving that even in the darkest corners of fame, there is a light to be found in embracing one’s true self.

Jillian is the story of a devoted wife and mother—a brilliant 48-year-old woman who has, for years, shelved her own aspirations, dedicating herself to her husband’s literary dreams and the upbringing of their son, Jonathan. However, when a buried truth emerges, the careful equilibrium of her world is disrupted, breaking apart the fragile calm she had so painstakingly preserved. What follows is a journey steeped in betrayal and laden with the weight of the forbidden. I welcome you to Jillian's world, where morality blurs, and the unthinkable—adultery, incest, blackmail, and depravity—comes to life.

In this world, ascending to upper realms is a matter of resources and ability. No matter the status or power level, if you have the money and the willingness to, you can live in any realm of your choosing. However, the higher the realm, the more power there is to tap into and cultivate. Who is brave enough to seek the Supremacy and rule the world? By: Jerlani

In the shadowed halls of Čachtice Castle, the infamous Countess Elizabeth Báthory’s dark reign ends, but her legacy is far from over. Through a forbidden ritual performed by a coven of powerful witches, her soul is transferred into an unborn child, ensuring her thirst for blood and power endures. The child, named Elizabeth, grows up unaware of the darkness within her. Raised by witches and later taken under the wing of the enigmatic Count and Countess Szabó at Bran Castle, she is taught the ways of magic, nobility, and seduction. But as Elizabeth matures, she begins to experience an insatiable hunger for blood and an inexplicable pull toward the dark forces shaping her destiny. As she struggles to reconcile the innocent girl she once was with the monstrous power awakening inside her, Elizabeth discovers she is the key to an ancient prophecy that will change the course of humanity. Torn between love, betrayal, and her own bloodlust, she must decide whether to embrace her vampiric nature or fight against the darkness threatening to consume her. Mother of Vampires is a spellbinding tale of power, destiny, and the eternal battle between light and shadow, where the choices of one woman will shape the future of both mortals and the undead.

Lexi sat on the floor, tears streaming down her face. Noah quietly entered the room and walked over to her. Without a word, he pulled her into a gentle hug. "Don’t cry anymore, Lexi," he whispered softly. "It’s not your fault that one of the twins is missing. We’ll find her, I promise. One day, we will." But Lexi’s pain erupted. She snapped angrily, pushing him away. "You always say that! But I can’t keep going on like this. It hurts so much! I’m a mother now, Noah, and it tears me apart not knowing where my other twin is. Is she okay? Is she happy? Has she eaten? I don't know anything, and it’s killing me." Noah stood up and moved to stand beside her. She was staring out the window, lost in her sorrow. "I'm a dad too, Lexi," he said quietly, his voice thick with emotion. Lexi turned to face him, regret in her eyes. "I’m sorry for pushing you. I’m just so sad. I didn’t get to see her. I didn’t get the chance to hold her, to say goodbye... It hurts more than I can bear." Noah reached out, taking her hands in his. "I’m here now, Lexi. Don’t cry anymore. I’ll be with you, we’ll get through this together, dear."

This work incorporates many Chinese elements, making it easier for those interested in Chinese culture to understand the details. For those unfamiliar with it, reading may be a bit challenging, but they can still grasp the general direction of the story. (No harem, no clichés, no overpowered characters, no system, no mindless plot, no feel-good story. Proceed with caution.) When I thought it was just an ordinary day, I found myself captured and taken to the land of demise. When I believed that participating in endless death games was the only way to escape, I realized that people around me were beginning to awaken supernatural powers. When I assumed this place was a "land of god-making," everything started moving toward annihilation.

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

A collection of poems.

Agent Black is a highly skilled operative of the Defence Corps, a covert organization dedicated to neutralizing the state’s most dangerous threats. But beneath her hardened exterior, she is driven by a deep, unyielding need for revenge. Years ago her sister was murdered brutally but never got justice. Now, the hunt for "The Dark"—the elusive criminal mastermind responsible for countless illegal operations—has become her only focus. The Dark is a figure whispered about in the shadows, a man whose vast network and ruthless influence make him nearly untouchable. Yet Agent Black knows that to find him is not only a mission but a chance to unearth the truth about her sister’s death and expose the corruption that has stained everything she once trusted. But as she dives deeper into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Agent Black must confront the demons of her past—haunted by memories that threaten her resolve and the recruits she is tasked with training. In a world where survival is the price of failure, she is forced to grapple with what she is willing to sacrifice in her quest for vengeance. Can she remain focused enough to take down The Dark, or will the shadows of her own history consume her before she gets the justice she craves? Note: The cover image isn't mine.

As she unravels a web of deceit, she must confront her darkest instincts in order to bring those responsible to account, no matter the cost.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
