Betty Noire

After exposing a corrupt regime, journalist Yuuri faced execution with a final plea: “Let me be reborn as a normal child.” But his wish came with cruel twists—a body as helpless as an infant, and a consciousness haunted by splintered voices born from state-sanctioned torture. Now named Blanc et Noir for his snow-white hair, he clings to the warmth of his hunter family in a remote village. Yet peace is fragile.

After finishing a novel, Betty wakes up in an unfamiliar world—inside the very book she just read. In the story, the original "Betty" was the fake daughter of the powerful Johnson family. Once the real daughter returned, Betty was cast aside, ignored by the people she once called family. Her once-loving brother abandoned her, and when the apocalypse arrived, she struggled to survive alone. Despite becoming an A-rank Ice-type Awakener, she clung to the hope that her family would one day accept and love her. But that hope led to her tragic death. Now, the real Betty—our Betty—has taken over the fake daughter’s body. And this time, she’s not the same naive girl desperate for affection. Grateful that the apocalypse hasn’t started yet, Betty prepares for what’s to come. In this second life, she awakens a mysterious “cheat code”— Space: a boundless pocket dimension where she can store unlimited supplies—from food and medicine to weapons—all untouched by time or decay. A hidden sanctuary where she can rest, recover, and plan. [Warning: Story can be fast paced, I don't want to waste words on long descriptions]

Dans la magnifique ère interstellaire, l'humanité a finalement développé la technologie de téléportation, mais lorsqu'ils essaient de se téléporter, ils ne sont pas envoyés dans le futur, le passé, ou sur une terre connue des hommes... Cet espace mystérieux est appelé le Sanctuaire de Dieu, où vivent de nombreuses créatures inconnues. Ici, les humains feront le plus grand bond dans leur évolution pour créer l'époque la plus glorieuse de l'histoire. "Scarabée noir à sang sacré tué.

Dans la partie nord du monde, une longue bataille opposant diverses races et la race démoniaque a finalement pris fin. Le Seigneur Démon, une silhouette aux cheveux noirs et aux yeux rouges, règne depuis son palais d'obsidienne, ayant à maintes reprises défait la Déesse, l'être le plus puissant du monde. Cependant, elle s'abstient de la tuer, sachant qu'elle ne ferait que renaître pour mener une autre attaque. Alors que la déesse est agenouillée devant elle, gravement blessée et impuissante, les bruits des explosions résonnent à l'extérieur, signalant l'imminente victoire de l'Alliance. Malgré son immense pouvoir, le seigneur démon reconnaît la faiblesse générale des démons comparée aux humains et à l'Alliance. Le développement de l'énergie de combat et du mana a permis aux humains ordinaires de lutter contre les démons, menant à la défaite de l'armée démoniaque. Consciente de l'intention de l'Alliance d'asservir le démon abyssal, le Seigneur Démon décide de lancer un sortilège interdit qui lui coûtera la vie. Alors que les forces de l'Alliance prennent d'assaut le palais, elles hésitent en ressentant l'énergie du sortilège. Le Seigneur Démon jure de résister et de renaître pour sauver son peuple. Pendant ce temps, la déesse réfléchit au traitement passé du seigneur démon envers elle et reconnaît son respect et son dévouement envers son peuple. Tandis que le seigneur démon se prépare à lancer le sort, la déesse lui demande si elle peut abandonner son plan et vivre librement. Cependant, les seigneurs démons ont le devoir de restaurer la gloire de la race démoniaque et de protéger leur peuple. Comprenant la détermination du seigneur démon, la déesse prépare son épée, dans l'intention de se confronter au sortilège interdit du seigneur démo. L'explosion qui en résulte crée un nuage en forme de champignon, marquant la fin du conflit et le début d'une nouvelle ère. Le Seigneur Démon et la Déesse deviennent des figures historiques, dont les histoires sont occasionnellement racontées.

Et juste comme ça, je suis devenu un agent du Système des Vilains. Il est temps de réécrire quelques fins heureuses—à la manière des méchants. **[NOTE !]** Ce roman présente plusieurs arcs courts, chacun explorant différents tropes tels que la Chine ancienne, le monde moderne, les bêtes, les loups-garous, les vampires, la fantaisie, la romance scolaire, les groupes d'idoles—vous l'avez !

Contenu MATURE !] "Alors servez-moi... correctement." La commande était à la fois sensuelle et autoritaire, et le pouls de Xue Li s'accéléra sous son regard intense. L'air entre eux devenait lourd, ses mains tremblantes faiblissant alors qu'elle commençait à passer l'éponge sur son torse, son toucher léger contre ses cicatrices. "O-oui Votre Majesté." Han Feng se pencha légèrement en arrière, la regardant à travers ses yeux mi-clos, son expression indéchiffrable. "Plus lentement," murmura-t-il, sa voix un grondement bas qui fit sauter son pouls. "Vous tremblez," dit-il, sa voix soyeuse, la faisant sursauter. "C-c'est la vapeur, Votre Majesté," balbutia-t-elle, bien qu'elle savait que c'était une mauvaise excuse. Han Feng gloussa doucement, le son profond et riche. "Hmm... C'est ainsi ? Alors vous n'avez aucun problème à nettoyer mon membre, n'est-ce pas ?" Les yeux de Xue Li tremblaient, au bord des larmes, ce qui semblait plaire à Han Feng. Son sourire s'élargit alors qu'il l'encourageait. "Allez. Vous allez me servir correctement, n'est-ce pas ?"

Un amour condamné dès le début, une cause perdue, une bataille vaine — et pourtant, aucun des deux cœurs n'est prêt à lâcher prise jusqu'à la toute fin. ----- Arlan Cromwell, l'incarnation même du Prince Héritier parfait. Tout ce qu'il désire, c'est vivre une vie normale d'humain, mais la vie d'un dragon est tout sauf normale. Il n'a qu'un seul but — retrouver sa fiancée en fuite et la décapiter. Que se passe-t-il lorsqu'il découvre que la femme qui a conquis son cœur est celle qu'il a juré de tuer ? Oriane, une Sorcière Noire, déguisée en homme, a passé toute sa vie à fuir sans savoir ce qu'elle fuit. Lorsque les mystères de son passé commencent petit à petit à la rattraper, elle n'a personne vers qui se tourner… sauf Arlan. Mais quand elle apprend que l'homme à qui elle a donné son cœur est le même homme qui veut la tuer, comment peut-elle accepter la cruelle carte que la vie lui a distribuée ? Deux personnes avec des secrets à garder, des identités à cacher et des réponses à chercher. Lorsque l'obscurité menace d'emporter Oriane, le Dragon pourra-t-il protéger sa compagne ? ----- Extrait - « Si j'avais su que tu étais ma fiancée, je t'aurais tuée dès le premier moment où nous nous sommes rencontrés. » Le regard d'Arlan se teinta de haine. « Si j'avais su que j'étais fiancée à toi, je me serais tuée avant même que tu ne le fasses ! » Oriane reflétait les mêmes émotions que lui. Il sortit un poignard et le lui offrit. « Il n'est pas trop tard. Tranche-toi simplement la gorge avec ça et tu saigneras sans douleur. » Elle accepta le couteau, ses doigts serrant fermement sa poignée. L'instant suivant, il était plaqué contre le mur et le couteau était sur le côté droit de son cou. « Que dirais-tu si je l'essayais sur toi en premier, mon fiancé ? » « Essaie si tu veux. Mais quand tu échoueras, ce couteau goûtera d'abord au sang de ton grand-père, puis au tien. » La colère monta dans ses yeux, et l'instant d'après, du sang coulait sur le côté droit de son cou. Elle avait coupé assez profondément pour trancher un vaisseau sanguin important. « Tu n'aurais pas dû me provoquer, » ricana-t-elle en reculant, attendant qu'il s'effondre. Il se contenta de sourire en coin et passa son doigt le long de la blessure profonde sur son cou. « On dirait que tu as échoué. » Elle regarda la blessure de son cou se cicatriser toute seule et resta choquée jusqu'au plus profond d'elle-même. « Toi... qu'est-ce que tu es ? » « Devine ? » ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Auteur mynoveltwenty

A CURSE — A tale of secrets, love, betrayal, and destiny. Stories — many have heard them, read them, even lived them. But this… this is a tale unheard. A tale woven with shadows, secrets, and half-truths — where reality blurs and deception dances in plain sight. A tale from a world unlike any other: the enchanted realm of Seven Fairylands. 1. Frosthevan 2. Blushing Beauty Land 3. Sunflower Land 4. Crimson Cove 5. Skyland 6. Iceland 7. Lunaria Noir At first glance, a realm of beauty and magic. But behind its royal grace lie stains of blood and betrayal. In the heart of this world is Celeste, a pure and innocent fairy destined to become the Queen of Frosthevan. Unaware of the treachery surrounding her, she is ensnared in a grand conspiracy. And at the center of it all — Caelum, a mysterious soul who poses as a pixie, but is truly a fairy, burning with a hunger for power and control over the Fairylands. While Caelum chases a force that could make her invincible, her lies catch the eye of the wise Mother Fairy. But instead of punishing Caelum, the Mother curses Celeste — to protect the realm from what she sees as an impending doom. Betrayed, cursed, and torn between love and truth, Celeste rises in rebellion. She chooses love over fate — and steps into the human world in search of Caelum. But what is the secret only Caelum and the Mother Fairy know? Is Caelum truly the villain? Or is there another hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? A curse. A love story born in the shadows. A journey across worlds. Celeste must uncover the buried truths of the Fairylands — secrets that could shatter everything. Will her innocence survive the truth? Will she ever find the real Caelum — or only more lies? “A Curse” promises to keep you questioning until the very last chapter — How many secrets can one soul carry? Who’s truly right… and who’s devastatingly wrong?

"We will be here for you...financially" In the fictional gray Ridge City in the equally depressing state of Silverton, a group journalists receive permission to report on a small bank branch during the post 9/11 recession. Bumbling manager Phillip Staunton struggles to keep morale afloat as his branch slowly sinks into the murky depths of late stage capitalism. Meanwhile, the bank's parent company: The Silverton Bank Association is hemorrhaging money and thousands are losing their jobs.

A new rebrand to pull the corporation out of the past and into the 21st century. Old money executives attempt to stop the rebrand to keep alive what has worked for decades. With riots on Stock Street, criminals and journalists in the workplace, the less than dynamic duo fight together but only to save themselves. In a system built on exploitation, abuse comes in many forms, and not all of them are financial.

Le Silence sous la Soie Dans un empire où les sourires sont masques, où les poisons sont plus puissants que les épées, et où même les dieux se taisent, un jeune esclave nommé Ken est vendu pour sa beauté inhumaine — des yeux aussi noirs qu’un abîme sans fond, une peau pâle comme la lune, et des cheveux qui ne reflètent aucune lumière. Acheté par Seiran, un mystérieux noble éblouissant, Ken devient son serviteur, son ombre, son reflet imparfait. Mais derrière son obéissance se cache un but : comprendre, surpasser, s’élever. Ken observe, imite, dévore le monde avec une seule intention : le dominer. Sa route croise Yuehime, apothicaire géniale, brisée mais indomptable, obsédée par les poisons plus que par les hommes. Puis Sahiya, consort impériale aussi distante qu’envoutante, dont le regard trouble les plus puissants. Et Ishime, dame de glace et de logique, froide comme la vérité. Mais tout change le jour où l’Empereur arrive incognito. Derrière la splendeur du trône se cache un mensonge : Jinshi, que tous croient frère de l’Empereur… est en réalité son fils. La vérité explose, les liens se brisent, les cœurs se dévoilent, et Ken voit enfin s’ouvrir une brèche dans le destin. À travers les jeux politiques, les trahisons silencieuses, les amours impossibles et les poisons lentement distillés, chacun cherche sa place, ou sa liberté. Mais dans un monde où les sentiments sont faiblesse, où l’intelligence est une arme et la beauté un piège… … qui survivra sans perdre son âme ?

Grief leaves no room for instructions. It comes, uninvited, and settles like fog, thick, persistent, and blinding. For Daniel Lewis, CEO of a billion-Leones tech empire and head of one of the country’s most influential families, the world never stopped moving after his wife’s death, but his did. He buried the pain beneath polished suits and endless meetings, pouring all that was left of him into the only person that still tied him to her, their daughter, Betty. Betty was once a bright, talkative girl with a laugh that could melt a room. But the accident that claimed her mother’s life also stole her voice. Five years later, she hadn’t spoken a single word. Specialist after specialist had failed to reach her, and her silence became a fortress no one could breach. Until Esther walked in. She wasn’t a licensed expert. Not yet. Just a 21-year-old child psychology student with soft eyes, a quiet determination, and a heart bigger than her experience. Hired as a live-in governess and emotional support tutor, Esther’s job was simple: help Betty speak again, help her live again. But no one warned her that in healing the child, she might touch the man as well. Daniel didn’t expect to feel anything. Not for a woman so much younger. Not for anyone ever again. And yet, in the quiet moments, between shared books, unspoken smiles, and late-night tea in the garden, something began to bloom, tender, impossible, real. This is a story about healing. About love rediscovered. About a man haunted by his past. A girl chasing her dreams. And a child who, through them, finds her voice again. Sometimes, the second time around… love writes a better ending.

In the world filled with mysteries and profound abstractness, Noir Kagenou, a 17-year-old German, finds himself transmigrated in the body of Alder Wilson, a 22-year-old historian. He has to find his way through this world where knowledge is a double-edged sword and power is the source of madness. Will he be able to find his way back, or will he find a purpose in this suffering. Will he be able to break free from the shackles of fate or will he take control of it instead. He has to play the role he is given, he has to journey through the oath he has chosen. This is the journey of a human to godhood.

The choice Yona must make remains uncertain, and the truth, hidden in the darkness, may be more dangerous than he ever imagined. Love. Loyalty. Lies. Some devotions are loud. Others stay hidden. But the ones left unseen? They might hurt the most. Daily updates with new chapters... ---

Zeya Noir never expected to wake up inside the full-dive holographic game NeuroShade, a brutal cyberpunk world ruled by chaos, factions, and digital gods. With her memories fragmented and logout disabled, she must play by the system’s ruthless rules—or be erased like countless others. But Zeya isn't here to survive. She's here to win. Relying on her sharp instincts and a cold resolve, she targets the strongest BOSS in the central sector. One fatal blow later, she ascends from nameless player to top-tier overlord, becoming the new ruler of the game's deadliest zone. Yet power in NeuroShade comes at a cost. As hidden AI factions stir and other players plot her downfall, Zeya must decide what kind of queen she will be—merciless tyrant, reluctant savior, or something far more dangerous.

They called her Red Sin. A mercenary. A myth. A woman with crimson eyes and a kill count that silenced entire rooms. Ravenna Noir was bred by the streets, broken by betrayal, and reborn in blood. She swore never to fall again — not for a man, not for love, not for mercy. Then came Jace Cross. Sharp smile. Cold eyes. The one man who slipped past her defenses — and stabbed her straight through the soul. In a city drowning in corruption, ruled by ghosts in tailored suits and gods with dirty hands, Ravenna wants nothing but vengeance. But secrets run deeper than bullets, and the man who broke her may be the only one who can save her from the monster she’s becoming. Love never stood a chance here. Not in Deadman’s City. But death? Death was always waiting.

Di balik reruntuhan peradaban sihir, sebuah nama perlahan membangkitkan ketakutan dan kekaguman—Noir, sang kutukan berjalan. Ditinggalkan oleh takdir, dihantui masa lalu kelam, dan diburu oleh faksi kekuasaan dari segala penjuru, Noir melangkah tanpa ragu di antara bayang-bayang politik istana, misteri sihir terlarang, dan lorong-lorong kematian yang menyimpan rahasia kuno dunia. Dengan sihir kegelapan yang tak lazim, senyuman dingin, dan mata yang menembus kepalsuan dunia, Noir bukan hanya bertahan. Ia merancang. Mengguncang. Menghancurkan. Ketika kepercayaan menjadi racun, dan kesetiaan hanya bayang semu… Siapa yang akan bertahan dalam permainan kekuasaan yang menjilat api neraka? Ini bukan kisah tentang pahlawan. Ini kisah tentang seorang pengatur takdir. Tentang Noir. Tentang sang Joker dari dunia sihir dan pedang.

Every two years, the government sends teenagers to die. Randomly selected between the ages of 16 and 18, they are forced into the Abyss Trials — a brutal survival mission inside a dimensional fracture swarming with nightmarish creatures. Kael Noire, a 17-year-old insomniac orphan haunted by loss and unknown voices only he can hear, is chosen for the next Abyss Trial, a government-sanctioned sacrifice disguised as a military draft. With an 90% mortality rate, it’s a death sentence for most—or a rebirth for the rare few who survive. Defying all odds, Kael survives the trial and awakens the abilities of an ancient being known as Nyx, the primordial goddess of night. Now bound to a power older than the stars, Kael becomes one of the Awakened—elite soldiers humanity depends on to push back the horrors of the Abyss and the countless Rifts spreading across the world. But power always comes with a price, one that might be too steep for Kael.

She was the cursed one. The unwanted twin. A shadow born beneath her sister’s light. Anastaria Noir was known for three things: her cruel tongue, her empty hands, and the cold eyes that never cried. Compared to her saintly twin—beloved by nobles, praised by tutors, and destined for greatness—Anastaria was simply… expendable. So when she died at the hands of the Crown Prince, no one wept. Not even her family. But fate had other plans. Reincarnated into the very body that once held so much hate, a modern soul awakens with only fragments of the original’s memories—and the knowledge that her death is coming. Again. Everyone still sees her as trash. Bitter. Powerless. A stain on the prestigious House Noir. But she’s no longer the girl who dies quietly. She repays kindness with loyalty. And cruelty? With exact precision. Even more confusing—why does the Crown Prince, the man destined to love her sister and destroy her, keep watching her like he’s forgotten which twin he was supposed to care about? The path forward is steep, but this time, she climbs. From disgrace to strength. From cursed twin to feared name. Let them call her the villainess. She’ll show them exactly what that means.
