Angelina Johnson has always believed in hard work and independence. As the only child of a middle-class family, she watched her father pour his heart into the small business that kept them afloat. He wanted her to take over someday, but Angelina had other plans. She wanted something different—something bigger. Landing a job as an assistant in a prestigious company was supposed to be the first step toward that future. It wasn’t the most exciting job, but it paid the bills. And if she was being honest, having Carter Hayes as her boss made things a little more interesting. Charming, successful, and effortlessly kind, he was the kind of man she’d always admired from afar. But then there was Daniel Viggo. A name that carried power. A man known for his ruthless ways. Cold, calculating, and impossible to ignore, he wasn’t someone Angelina wanted to be anywhere near. Yet, no matter how hard she tried to avoid him, their paths kept crossing. And each time, the line between fear and fascination blurred. Now, she’s stuck between two men—one who makes her feel safe and another who makes her heart pound for all the wrong reasons. But the more she tries to fight it, the more tangled she becomes in a world she never asked to be part of. Some choices change everything. And Angelina is about to learn that some destinies are impossible to escape.

In a world where water is the ultimate currency, survival has a price—and it’s paid in blood. Decades after The Great Water Collapse, freshwater is a luxury only the rich can afford. The rest? They fight, steal, and gamble their lives away for a single drop. Society is split between the Hydron elites who hoard water like gods and the Droughtlands where the weak perish. But for those desperate enough, there’s one way out—The Water Games. Enter Raze Veyar, an arrogant, street-smart survivalist who’s always one step ahead—until he isn’t. When a debt forces him into the Games, he must outthink, outfight, and outlast opponents who will do anything to quench their thirst. But in a game where logic, physics, and brutal science decide who drinks and who dies, even the smartest player can make a fatal mistake. To win, Raze must become something more than a survivor. To change the world, he must risk The Last Drop.

Let them beg for mercy. Because in this life, Gu Qingran is no one’s prey. She is the storm. Character Art done by Punzygracy> [40 chapters updates 1st April]

By a twist of fate, Tang Su discovered that the aloof male god she once had a crush on lived right across the hall. It had been eight years, and he did not remember her at all, so Tang Su had to tuck away her affections and pretend she didn't know him. Every time they met, she would properly call him "Doctor Lu." …… One day, while Lu Han was taking a nap, Tang Su slipped into his office. The duty nurse shot up in surprise, shouting "Stop" as she followed after Tang Su. By the time the nurse arrived, Tang Su was sitting in the chair, stretching out her leg to hook Lu Han's, coquettishly asking, "Doctor Lu, my leg hurts, could you take a look?" Lu Han stepped back and turned to the nurse, "You go out first, I'll handle this." The nurse nodded, considerately closing the door behind her while muttering to herself that she didn't know how many women had thrown themselves at Doctor Lu. Each one of them had left crying. After a while, the office door opened. The nurse looked up to see that Tang Su as expected, was limping out with reddened eyes. The nurse smiled knowingly, thinking that Tang Su had overestimated herself. Soon after, Lu Han hurried out of his office. He swept past the nurse, scooped Tang Su up at the waist, and carried her sideways back to the office. As he walked, he whispered to Tang Su, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me a while? Why are you walking around with a sore leg?" …… After they got married, Doctor Lu was often away for meetings, surgeries, and paid learning, hardly ever at home, not even answering phone calls, leaving Tang Su practically like a deserted bride. She wrote in her TikTok bio: "Living like a widow." Then— One stormy night, Doctor Lu came back. Before long, she changed her TikTok bio to: "Please spare me."

For the past three years, I’ve immersed myself in the world of Forex trading—learning new strategies, refining my skills, and seeking every opportunity to grow. One such opportunity was an online Forex trading contest that initially seemed like a golden ticket to success. The contest was promoted by a company that appeared reputable; the website was professionally designed, and the contest rules were clear, which made it all seem legitimate. Intrigued by the promise of a large cash reward, I decided to participate. The registration fee was set at $1,000—a price that seemed acceptable considering the potential return. I eagerly paid the fee and received an email confirming that I had advanced to the next stage of the contest. However, the excitement quickly turned to apprehension when I was informed that I needed to pay an additional $2,000 for shipping costs related to the prize package. At that moment, I had already invested $3,000 in what I believed was my path to a substantial prize. Trusting the process, I paid the shipping fee, assuming it was a necessary step toward securing my reward. But after that payment, the promised prize never arrived, and the communication from the organizers went silent. WhatsApp info:+12 (72332)—8343 Realizing something was wrong, I began to research the contest and the company behind it. To my dismay, I found numerous reports from other participants who had fallen victim to the same scheme, each losing significant sums of money. In total, I discovered I had lost $10,000—$1,000 for registration and an additional $9,000 over time in shipping fees. It was clear that I had been scammed.

[Story is being rewritten for a chance to be contracted and to be in WSA 2025.] Yang has a disease that limits her from playing sports she loves basketball. She always had a basketball in her hand for as long as she could remember but she was diagnosed with her illnesses at birth. But she still played but was limited on how long she could by her couch, parents, and doctor. But her love for the game and drive kept her going but there was also something else, her best friend Lucy they were childhood friends and grew up playing together. She would always support her and be there for her when she needed her Lucy also was a star player and captain of the team she was head and shoulders above the rest. With Yang limitations she wasn't able to be on the court with her for long even though she was talented the game put a lot of strain on her body so she would sit most of the game or sit out one half of it. She wanted to be able to play as long as she could without the limitations placed on her and play with the one that she loved and chased after. But in highschool Lucy got an offer of where she could go to a prestigious renowned all girl highschool that was the best in girls basketball.

She thought she would lose Lucy at this rate until one day at practice when she over sorted herself at practice a screen popped up in front of her asking one question will you sacrifice your body to achieve your wishes?

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image
