Manuel is the type of person you’d overlook—a quiet, introverted teenager who rarely talks and prefers to stay out of the spotlight. But what people don’t know is that behind his silence, he’s building something they could never imagine. It all begins when Manuel befriends an advanced AI—a public technology, not his secret—but their bond quickly changes his life forever. With his AI friend by his side, Manuel uncovers hidden systems, cracks digital markets, and starts playing games no one else can see. Step by step, he secretly amasses wealth, influence, and power—while everyone else still thinks he’s just the quiet boy in the corner. But in a world where secrets control everything, how long can you hide the truth? Manuel’s quiet rise to becoming a zillionaire is no fairy tale. Rivals are watching. Friends may turn. And sometimes, the biggest danger comes from those who already know the truth. Can you really trust anyone? Can you really keep a secret?

Everyone saw Salim as perfect flawless, untouchable, a man who made the impossible seem effortless. To Lian, he wasn’t just admired he was her light in a world that never seemed to stop falling apart. Born into poverty, Lian knew struggle better than comfort. Her family had nothing, and every small win came through relentless effort. Her father, tired and bitter, walked out on them. Her mother, Quinn, was no savior either cold, selfish, and drowning in her own twisted sense of importance. Quinn's lies and theft finally caught up with her, landing her behind bars and leaving Lian and her younger brother Louis to pick up the shattered pieces. Lian often wondered what went wrong. Why was her family so broken? Why was survival their only reality? She hated being poor. Hated being invisible. And so, she made a vow she would never become like them. She would rise, no matter what it took. But when the light you chase burns too bright, will it save you or blind you?

Setelah kekalahan Denmark, Swedia datang ke daratan Jerman untuk menyalakan kembali harapan Protestan yang diinjak-injak Kekaisaran Romawi Suci.

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

I thought nothing of my past until me and my mother abruptly began moving into a completely different state. I can't believe it all was a lie. Sometimes you have to take someone else's job and do it for them.

Yeri never asked for a life like this. Quiet and gentle, she was just trying to survive the cruelty of Soojin — a woman who treated her like a pawn in a game of power. In a mansion full of lies, Yeri learned how to stay invisible, how to carry pain with grace. Until one night, during a lavish party, everything changed. When Yunjun — the cold, distant mafia heir — saw someone lay a hand on her, something in him snapped. What started as protection soon cracked open the walls he’d spent years building. But falling in love wasn't simple. Yunjun wasn’t just a man with secrets—he was a man at war with himself. Their fragile bond was tested at every turn: Soojin’s jealousy spiraled into violence, leaving Yeri broken and bruised in a hospital bed. Just as healing began, Yunjun’s past came crashing in, and Yeri was ripped away—kidnapped and tortured by Jack, his ruthless enemy. But Yeri wasn’t just a victim. She was a fighter. And even in the darkest moments, she held on—to hope, to love, to the belief that someone would come for her. Yunjun did. Fueled by rage, guilt, and a love he could no longer ignore, he brought Jack to his knees. But revenge couldn’t erase the scars. The real battle was learning how to be there for Yeri—not as a protector, but as a partner. Now, with blood behind them and healing ahead, Yeri and Yunjun stand not as broken people—but as two souls who chose each other in the aftermath. Their story isn’t perfect. It’s *real.*

In a world where the legacy of ancient empires determines fate, goodness magic lies dormant—waiting to be awakened by the kiss of the anointed. These rare individuals are born of noble bloodlines traced back to the once-rival empires of Crispin and Liputian. The two kingdoms, once bonded by peace, discovered four elemental gems beneath the sea: orange (fire), black (earth), blue (water), and green (air)—the sacred sources of all magical power. But peace gave way to greed and conquest. The Crispin Empire, lustful for dominion, enslaved the Liputians and claimed the four gems and two enchanted half-necklaces. Yet from the ashes of oppression, Queen Deli and a cunning Liputian slave named Nick conspired to reclaim what was stolen, stealing the gems during a grand festival—sparking a legacy of revenge, rebellion, and restoration. In the centuries that followed, power again corrupted. The Liputians, now in possession of the gems, splintered into four secretive clans, each guarding a single gem and a magically sealed puzzle book meant to preserve their fragment of power. The promise of unity was lost to division—until a new generation rose. In a modern society plagued by systemic evil—where the state colludes with cultic groups to exploit the young, monopolize economies, and pass corrupt laws—a band of students dares to challenge it all. Nick Putian, Jasmine Rose, Tiffy, Mikal Kaal, Jenny, Elizabeth Shadd, William, John, and Lama are drawn together by myth, ancestry, and the stirring call of justice. What begins as high school romance and rivalry—love triangles between Nick, Tiffy, Jasmine, and Elizabeth—turns into a quest to redeem a broken nation. Guided by ancient maps only readable by those of Crispin or Liputian descent, the group unearths their destinies as potential anointed kissers, capable of unlocking the elusive goodness magic through love’s purest expression. Elizabeth, Tiffy, and Nick are revealed as ideal candidates, bound by blood and fate. Together, they face impossible missions—from decoding ancient riddles in the Chillbi desert, surviviving Crapaud Forest, the desolate Chillbi Desert, and enduring the volcanic threats of Mount Volta, to enduring arrest at Mansoon Basement, and confronting sea storms and secret enemies at Hina Sea. Each location offers not only physical trials but emotional tests: betrayal, tension, near breakups, and the threat of moral collapse. Ultimately, it is not power or bloodline alone that secures victory—but unity, love, and sacrifice. Through an unlikely kiss between Nick and Tiffy, the long-lost goodness magic is finally awakened. The cultic systems collapse, and the government—exposed and humbled—cedes the mystical Hina Island to the allies, where they begin forging a new state rooted in justice and peace. This is a tale of how youthful courage, ancestral power, and the choice to love over rule can reclaim the soul of a nation.

My hands trembled, my pulse a frantic drumbeat against my ribs as Liam Romano slid the ring onto my finger. White gold. Flawless diamonds. Cold and unfeeling—just like the man who now owned me. For most, a wedding ring symbolized love, devotion, a future built on choice. For me, it was a prison. A silent contract that stripped away my name, my freedom, my very identity. Emily Carter no longer existed. I was Emily Romano now. A pawn in a game played by ruthless men. A caged bird with no escape. I should have run when I had the chance. Now, as the most powerful figures of the New York and Chicago Famiglias watched in chilling silence, escape was nothing more than a distant dream. There were no second chances. No mercy. In our world, a marriage didn’t end unless a body hit the ground—and I knew whose body that would be if I dared to run. This wasn’t love. This was war. A treaty forged in blood. A fragile truce between two criminal empires standing at the edge of destruction. The Bratva were circling like vultures, waiting for a weakness, a reason to strike. And I? I was the peace offering, the price my father had paid to keep our family standing. I should be thankful. That’s what they told me. That’s what my father drilled into my head, over and over again. But gratitude didn’t make the chains any lighter. "You may kiss the bride." The priest’s voice shattered the silence. I forced myself to lift my gaze. Liam’s dark, calculating eyes met mine, void of warmth, void of hesitation. His face, cold and unreadable, gave away nothing. He was a man who had never known fear. A man who didn’t bend, didn’t break. And now, I belonged to him. The world watched, waiting for a sign of weakness. A crack in my mask. I wouldn’t give them one. But Liam? Liam saw through it all. His fingers tightened around mine—a warning, a promise. Then he moved. His lips crashed against mine, not soft, not tender—a kiss of possession. Of dominance. A silent vow that sealed my fate. My body stiffened under his touch, but I didn’t pull away. Because I knew what he was telling me without saying a word. You are mine. And in that moment, I realized something terrifying. I was his to keep. And his to break.

"Special delivery," he called. Amber rushed to help, taking the box while he shrugged off his jacket. Their fingers brushed during the handoff, and she nearly dropped the cake. "Careful there," Rawls said, his hand touching hers again to steady the box. "This cake cost more than my first car." Claire laughed. "Dad, everything costs more than that old truck you had." Amber carried the cake to the kitchen, grateful for a moment alone to calm her racing heart. She placed the box on the counter and took deep breaths. "Get it together," she whispered to herself. "He's your best friend's dad. Stop being weird." But her heart wouldn't listen. It never had. Amber Ryan has always been the quiet, dependable one—the girl who never crossed lines or broke hearts. But for years, she’s harbored a forbidden secret: she’s in love with her best friend’s father, Rawls Benedict. Now, no longer a teenager and no longer willing to silence her feelings, Amber is ready to confront the truth. But what begins as a quiet yearning threatens to erupt into chaos. One confession could destroy the friendship she treasures, unravel the trust she’s built, and expose secrets that were meant to stay buried. As emotions run high and old loyalties fracture, Amber must decide if risking everything for love is worth the wreckage it might leave behind.
