Magiranger Smoky

A One-Night Stand. An Arranged Marriage. An Unending Game of Betrayals. Some call it fate. Linda calls it a nightmare. Everyone dreams of a Cinderella love story, but Linda's love story started in the wrong kind of ballroom. A smoky bar, a heartbreak-fueled plan to get back at her ex, and Leon—a man with just the right amount of charm and mischief to fit her scheme. One reckless hookup later, her private life became a public scandal when their explicit photos surfaced online, leaving her humiliated and desperate to disappear. Fleeing the city was supposed to bring peace, but instead, Linda discovered she was carrying Leon’s child. Determined to raise her baby alone, she pushed thoughts of him aside, until he reappeared. Not as a fleeting memory, but as her father’s choice for her arranged husband. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Linda hissed, her voice sharp as she looked up to her groom on the altar. “Believe me, sweetheart, this wasn’t my dream wedding either,” Leon replied, his tone infuriatingly calm. “Then why did you agree to it?” she asked, her breath hitching. Leon leaned in, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “We don’t have a choice. But if you think for a second you're disappearing on me again, think again.” What started as an arranged marriage spiraled into a rollercoaster of deception, passion, and deadly secrets. As Linda uncovers the dark truths about her family, she realizes Leon is the only one willing to stand by her. But their fragile alliance is tested with every revelation, every betrayal, and every scorching moment of desire they can’t ignore. When love and survival hang in the balance, will they rise together—or fall apart?

The biting Seoul wind whipped around Kim Junmyeon as he hurried between his three jobs. At 6 AM, he was a barista, the smell of burnt coffee a familiar alarm clock. By noon, he was a delivery boy, his bicycle a lifeline weaving through the city's chaotic streets. Evenings found him washing dishes in a bustling bar, the clinking glasses a soundtrack to his exhaustion. Each task was a desperate attempt to pay off his father's crippling debts and his mother's mounting hospital bills. His mother's illness was a constant weight, a shadow clinging to his every moment. He'd promised her he'd get her the best treatment, a promise that felt increasingly impossible to keep. The bar, "The Crimson Moon," was his newest source of income, a last-ditch effort to stave off financial ruin. It was there, amidst the smoky haze and clinking glasses, that he first saw him. He was a force of nature, radiating an aura of power and danger. His name, he later learned, was Park Chanyeol. Chanyeol was everything Junmyeon wasn't: wealthy, powerful, and undeniably captivating. Their first encounter was brief, a fleeting glance across a crowded room, yet it left Junmyeon breathless. He didn't know then that Chanyeol was a Mafia boss, a fact that would soon become brutally clear. Chanyeol's interest in Junmyeon was immediate, bordering on obsession. He pursued him relentlessly, his offers of wealth and protection veiled threats. Junmyeon, however, remained steadfast in his refusal. He was fiercely independent, his pride a shield against Chanyeol's overwhelming presence. He wouldn't be bought, not even by a man as alluring and dangerous as Chanyeol. Then came the crisis. His mother's condition worsened, the hospital bills escalating into an insurmountable mountain. Desperation clawed at him, pushing him to the brink. He remembered Chanyeol's business card, a stark reminder of the impossible choice before him. With trembling hands, Junmyeon dialed the number. He met Chanyeol at his opulent home, a stark contrast to Junmyeon's cramped apartment. The air crackled with tension, the silence punctuated only by the rhythmic tick of a grandfather clock. Chanyeol's offer was blunt, devoid of sentimentality: a deal in exchange for Junmyeon's financial woes. Sex, without emotional attachment. A purely transactional arrangement. It was a degrading proposition, yet Junmyeon found himself accepting. His mother's life hung in the balance, and he would do anything to save her. The deal was struck, a pact sealed in the shadows of Chanyeol's lavish mansion. Their first encounter was raw, devoid of tenderness. Yet, amidst the stark reality of their arrangement, a flicker of something else ignited. A spark of connection, a silent acknowledgment of their shared vulnerability. This is where their story begins. Will their arrangement blossom into something more profound, defying the boundaries they've set? Or will their paths ultimately diverge, leaving them strangers once more? The answer lies in the chapters yet to come. This is just a beginning. You can develop their relationship, explore their individual struggles, and build the suspense around their forbidden love. Remember to focus on character development, exploring their inner conflicts and motivations. The contrast between Junmyeon's humble background and Chanyeol's powerful world offers rich potential for dramatic tension and emotional depth.

Emmie’s heart pounded as the figure rose from the shadows, thicker and grayer than before—a far more earthbound and sinister version of the one he thought he’d conquered. The sparkling light from the crystals above seemed to be sucked away, leaving a suffocating emptiness. Even the sound of his friends’ breaths around him grew faint, their voices—one of concern, another of reassurance—muffled echoes through the cavern behind him. Yet he knew he had to press forward, deeper into the darkness, and face this alone. For now. The figure stepped closer, slow and deliberate, its glowing eyes radiating an icy malevolence. “You think you’ve overcome your fears?” it hissed, its voice sharp and grating. “That was nothing. I am the fog inside you—the one you ignore, the one that carves at you.” Emmie swallowed hard, forcing himself upright despite the shaking in his legs. “I’m not afraid of you,” he said, summoning courage he didn’t fully feel. “I’ve come too far to turn back.” The figure’s laughter crawled down his spine. “Brave, so brave… but so foolish. You’ve barely begun to uncover the truths buried in your soul. Your doubts, your regrets, your anger—they feed me.” For a moment, Emmie faltered. The words clawed at wounds he’d tried to ignore, stirring his doubts: Could he truly protect his friends? Were his choices enough? The darkness seemed to press closer, suffocating him with its weight. But then he remembered Mira’s voice, full of faith. He thought of Amara’s bright laughter and Cory’s unwavering support. They had believed in him when he couldn’t believe in himself. “Maybe I do doubt,” Emmie admitted, meeting the figure’s glowing gaze. “But those doubts don’t define me. My friends believe in me, and I believe in myself.” The figure’s eyes narrowed, frustration flickering within. “Conviction alone won’t save you,” it hissed. “Your friends are far, and here, it’s just you and me.” It raised its arm, and the shadows coiled into smoky tendrils, striking toward him. Emmie dodged just in time as they slammed into the ground, shattering the stone and sending shards flying. His heart raced, his footing unsteady, but he pushed himself upright. A faint light flickered in his hand—small but wholly his. The figure laughed, mocking him. “Is that all? A tiny flicker? Pathetic.” Emmie clenched his jaw. “It’s enough,” he said. “This light is everything I fought for, everything I believe in.” The figure snarled, and the darkness surged again, crashing against Emmie’s light. Straining against the tide, he closed his eyes and steadied his breathing. He thought of his friends, their unwavering faith, and his purpose. The light steadied, burning brighter. At that moment, he heard their voices—Mira, Amara, and Cory—calling to him. The sound reignited his resolve. As their light joined his, the shadow recoiled, its form shattering under their combined strength. The figure’s voice echoed as it faded: “This isn’t over, Emmie. This is just the beginning.” Emmie stood firm, unwavering. “I’ll be ready. Let’s finish this.”

In a world where the boundaries between nations have been blurred by the dominance of mega-corporations, the balance of power hangs by a thread. The year is 2024, and the planet is gripped by a relentless struggle for supremacy between two corporate behemoths: Bio-ring Corporation and Deten Corporation. Born from the ashes of the Second World War, these titans of industry have risen to prominence, wielding their influence over every aspect of human existence. In the West, Bio-ring Corporation reigns supreme, its roots stretching back to the smoky alleys of New York City where its founder, Gallian Maxwell, first laid the foundation for his empire. With a stranglehold on the weapons manufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors, Bio-ring's reach extends far beyond the borders of any single nation. Its armies of mercenaries and cutting-edge technology make it a force to be reckoned with, its grip on power unyielding and absolute. In the East, Deten Corporation holds sway, its origins rooted in the war-torn streets of post-war Japan. Founded by Kayuga Deten in the wake of devastation, Deten Corporation quickly rose to prominence, leveraging its influence in weapons manufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and the financial sector to cement its dominance. With its headquarters nestled in the heart of Tokyo, Deten's reach extends deep into the corridors of power, its coffers overflowing with wealth and ambition. Caught in the crossfire of this corporate conflict is Max Hilton, owner of Max Corp, a private military corporation with a hunger for power and wealth that knows no bounds. As the war between Bio-ring and Deten escalates, Max finds himself thrust into a world of intrigue and betrayal, where alliances are fleeting and loyalties are tested at every turn. But Max is no stranger to the cutthroat world of corporate warfare. With his trusted lieutenant, Sarah, by his side, he navigates the treacherous waters of this shadowy underworld with cunning and precision. Together, they will stop at nothing to secure their place in the annals of history, even if it means sacrificing everything they hold dear. As the shadows of corporate war descend upon them, Max Hilton and his allies must confront their own demons and make impossible choices in a world where the only rule is survival of the fittest. In this epic saga of greed, ambition, and betrayal, the fate of nations hangs in the balance, and only the strongest will emerge victorious. This is the story of the Shadows of Corporate War.

In order to be loved, she changed her whole personality, but all she got in return was a cold husband and her unrequited feelings. Now that she lost her memories and went back to her old self, she's determined to never love again. She wouldn't let anyone trample on her anymore. But then, why is her husband coming back around again - turning over a new leaf and wanting to take her back so desperately? "You should know well by now, my beloved wife. Didn't you change yourself for love...?" he muttered vehemently, voice low and smoky. His unwavering eyes are blazing with passion and a deep sense of endearment that she'd never seen before. This isn't her husband at all - instead of cold, his gaze appears to be on fire. "The same goes for me... So, love me, love me not - you're going to take responsibility." --- Impassive, strait-laced, stiff and very compliant - that's how everyone sees Cassidy Eleanor. She's an underdog wife who's desperate to gain her husband's affection and would even sacrifice her own freedom. Coming from an unknown background, she was neglected by her spouse, persecuted by his family, and misjudged in her workplace. That's all until it came to a point when she already had enough. In an effort to flee from the clutches of a loveless marriage and all the obligations that were forced on her, she got herself a ticket and boarded a plane. Little did she know that a bombing incident would ultimately ruin her plan to start anew. Then, before she knew it, she woke up to find herself with a type of amnesia that caused her to forget everything that happened to her when she's past the age of eighteen-years-old. To be exact, Cassidy had gone back to her old self - right before she met her husband, Adrian Millicent. --- Cold, distant, steely and iron-willed - that's how everyone sees the owner of the country's richest conglomerate. Adrian is known to be a prodigious figure in a variety of fields and commerce, a prestigious individual with billions of assets, and a man of outstanding achievements overall. He used to be the most-sought-after bachelor of the country, but only to get in an arranged marriage by his grandparent - with a woman of unknown origin, to boot. He really couldn't care less, though. After all, he never needed love to begin with. That's all until Adrian found this reserved and amenable wife of his acting like a wild and boisterous teenage girl one day. -- WFP #23 Gold Tier Winner -- [Warning: Mature Content] (Cover Photo Not Mine: Credits to the original artist) - Follow me on Instagram (acieetin) - DM me on Discord (Aciee#1841)

A shady past, A second chance at life, A promise of vengeance, And a plan in motion... "You've changed so much Wuxia,This is not you! My Twinkle wouldn't be in a ten metre distance near a cigarette talk less of smoking," Fu Guangli condemned with a tone of reproach, but it only made the smile on Li Xiu Ying's face wider. She took in a deep drag and blew a beautiful smoky ring at his face. "I agree with you Bunny. This is not the Twinkle you know, that little innocent girl died years ago and the creature standing in front of you is anything but your Twinkle," she walked closer to him and poked his chest with her manicured index finger, venom was evident in her voice as she said her next words, "all thanks to you." Fu Guangli was quick to grab her wrist and slam her into the nearest tiled wall of the bathroom, Li Xiu Ying winced at the impact. "So that's why you're here now? Because you want revenge?!" Fu Guangli yelled at her face. "No." Li Xiu Ying's voice softened drastically and she raised her hands to trace the contours of his chiseled face in only what can be perceived as affection. "I want you back."

"Magic is dangerous for those who weren't born with it." Then came a certain damsel of destruction - overpowered even, though born as an ordinary human. Through a special type of magic, she takes form of various mythical beings - A slaying queen. An eight-tailed ghoulish monster. A scythe-wielding enthraller. A red-eyed demonness. Such and more. But then again, great power has to come with a price. --- Story Synopsis --- If Angelica "Eli" Claes were to tell what kind of role she'd most likely have if she's inside a book, she'd definitely be a mere backdrop character - especially with her grey hair, thick glasses, nerdy mien, introverted nature, and her plain appearance overall. But then again, this bookworm would rather just read and be the audience instead of filling in the shoes of a heroine that bores people to death - Or so she hoped. Never had she imagined that she'd end up taking the villainess route one day, and it's all because of a certain antagonist in a novel she'd been reading - Empress Venus, a dreaded ruler who fell on her own blade. Soon, Eli finds herself in a love-and-hate relationship with this group of gentlemen who're just too perfect to be considered 'non-fiction', throwing all her attempts to avoid becoming the center-of-attention out of the window. They also turn out to be the esteemed Student Council and the most popular guys at school, yet for an organization that protects peace and order, they sure are eager to wage war against her. Enter the perfect Student Council President who's all smiles and sparkles, the charming and blithesome Vice President, the gallant Public Information Officer known for being a social butterfly, the academy chairman's heir who strives to surpass his elder brother, and a certain classmate of hers sought by every Sports Club at school yet chose to work as a library assistant instead. Little did the bookworm know that these people aren't really who they appear to be. --- An excerpt --- "Shall we do something special?" Surprised by how smoky his voice seemed to come out, she can't help but gape a little. Before she can even make a retort, though, he suddenly raises his hand and covers her eyes with it. "H-Hal? What are you..." Unbeknownst to Eli, Hal really can't afford to reply at the moment.  Shutting his eyes closed, he then kisses the back of his hand that's covering her forehead. That's when a cool gust of wind blows by, scattering her silver strands in the air and making the scene even more picturesque. They remain in that intimate position for a while until she realizes that he's been holding her hands the whole time.  "H-Hal... What's wrong...?" she managed to blurt out despite her nonplus. Hal eventually pulls away after a few seconds of contact. Right then, his hand moves from her eyes then to her cheek, encasing it gently. Eli feels her face heating up at how he keeps looking at her with a fond smile. His grinning golden orbs match the coruscant brilliance of the stars at the night sky, especially with how they continue brimming an unfathomable kind of endearment. "Thanks for the memory, Eli." --- This is where a bookworm's love for reading, fused with a little touch of magic, gives birth to a half-heroine and half-villainess protagonist. - Weak-to-strong female lead - Two Minds in One Body - Reverse Harem but not off-the-bat - Heroes/Villains with a cause - Highschool, Family and Royalty Drama - Not Your Ordinary Transmigration/Reincarnation Story (BOOK TWO ONCOMING) (Cover Photo's not mine: Credits to the original artist) --- - Follow me on Instagram (acieetin) - DM me on Discord (Aciee#1841)

His foot limped while he was trying to run with his life for the remaining strength in his worn-out body, which was embroidered with thorns. His blood fell like a heavy rain from those wounds caused by the one behind him, so he had nothing but groaning in pain and moving forward quickly, until he heard the sound of his body hitting the ground without his awareness. That smoky body moved, flaming towards him in a swaying manner, he did not hear a sound from it or smell it, it only flared up and sent its smoke towards him.

"Am sorry am late" Laura said apologetically as she walked into the house, bending down to take off her heels as she pushed the door closed with one of her legs when one of the shopping bags in her hand found its way down to the floor. She bent down to pick it up when long pale manly hands picked it up before she could.

Catalina just survive a monster, only to end up with another. "Didn't your Mama warn you about strange men in dark places?" My pulse beats in my throat, our chests grazed together and I could only gasp as my nipple tightened underneath the tape. It's only been six months since I've been with a man- I didn't think I would crave that touch for a long while. "She did," my throat thick with nerves. "But you don't seem—," "What is your name." He cuts me off, leaning in. His smoky and earthy scent fills my senses. "Catalina,"  I breathed."Catalina Sanchez." His palm slid off my waist, taking the warmth. I held back a protest as he pulled away. What is wrong with me? I was acting like a horny teenager. Something about the way he now stared at me tells me he knew who I was or at least my last name. "Your not my father's mortal enemy are you?" I joked. The tension between the Mexicans and the Russia wasn't that bad. "Would that make a difference," His voice held an indifference. "I think you'd still let me have my way with you."

He didn't care about bumping into people as he passed by all he could think of was getting closer to the beautiful woman he saw. He successfully approached the stunning woman! But...another man seemed to be catching the attention of the beautiful woman, which made Miguel's blood boil.

'I've always had nights like this ',Solace told her laughing hard.She was only looking around scared. 'So this is how a club feels like huh',she murmured to herself.

This will be one of the best days of your life as long as you stop being idle and looking around like you're lost in a jungle ',she was shouting in her ears.'Ahnn this girl is definitely drank ',she hit her forehead and followed Solace down the stairs onto the smoky dance floor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'What are you staring at?

'I'm going to use the washroom',Solace nodded and she quietly stolled away.The way to the washroom was rather quiet and it surprised her.How is it possible that the club was this noisy but this part was utterly quiet.

It wasn't long when she heard a sharp cry and opened her eyes.'Ah',was all that came out of her mouth when she felt her knees weakend and her eyes closed lazily as she slowly slided unto the cold floor.
