Thursday Rosary

The Server's Chronicle: A Fantasy Of Faith

Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

A Line Drawn Between You & Me

Title : "A Line Drawn Between You and Me" also called as "Rivals In Love" Chapter update: Every Thursday's and Sunday's. Synopsis: At Hua Xing International Business Academy—Shanghai’s most elite MBA college where business empires are bred and reputations are currency—Li Wei has always reigned supreme. Brilliant, composed, and endlessly driven, she’s topped every academic ranking since her first day. As the daughter of a powerful and toxic family, and the heir to the Li Group's corporate throne, failure has never been an option. Especially not in a college where her father sits on the Board of Directors and her family name practically built the east wing. Then comes Zhang Rui. A transfer student from Australia with a charming smile, razor-sharp intellect, and zero interest in playing by legacy rules. He doesn’t know Li Wei—or the unspoken rule that she always comes first. But when his name unexpectedly appears at the top of the student ranking board, knocking Li Wei to second place for the first time ever, a silent war begins. To the world, they’re rivals—cold stares in lecture halls, tense silences during group projects, and a battlefield of wit and pride. But beneath the surface, there’s more than rivalry brewing. Li Wei is drawn to Rui’s warmth, a stark contrast to the emotional emptiness of her world. Rui, in turn, is fascinated by the fortress she’s built around herself—and the vulnerability she hides behind perfect posture and sharp words. As academic pressure builds and their families’ expectations collide, secrets begin to unravel, and the line between hate and longing blurs. In a world where love is a weakness and control is everything, what happens when two rivals fall—not just in rank—but for each other? ---

Energy Eater

Humanity's spot at the top of the food chain was taken. Now we are the prey. Fifty years ago, the human race lost the war against the Eaters—beings that defied not just our understanding, but the laws of nature themselves. Their overwhelming strength drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Those of us who survived now live in hiding, as I have my entire life: worried about making noise, scavenging for scraps, and fleeing from shadows. But in that darkness, I found something extraordinary. A tool no human has ever discovered before: the System. With its power, I can heal my wounds, kill monsters, and perform feats I never imagined possible. Only to learn that most of the world has already been transformed by these same forces. Animals evolve into nightmarish creatures. Weapons gain deadly enchantments. Ordinary caves become treacherous dungeons. Even worse, I'm not alone in wielding this power. Other species have possessed this ability since birth. They've had generations to master what I'm only beginning to understand. But I can share this gift with other humans. I can give us a fighting chance. The question remains: will this spark of hope become just another candle snuffed by the wind, or will it ignite the blazing inferno of humanity's resurgence? What to Expect: - A monster hunting story featuring the strongest human alive, told in first person - A blend of adventure and visceral horror - The emergence and evolution of a unique System - A morally complex protagonist who understands that survival demands difficult choices Schedule: New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 10:00 AM (GMT-3)

Death's Lover

"Why are you wearing cow head mask? Lilith asks you this question the third time." Amon groaned, tipping his head up. It made the snout of his mask point at the sky, making Lilith giggle as she found the view funny. "It's weird. Lilith thinks you're ugly that's why you're hiding your face." Hearing this, Amon couldn't help but look at her through his mask. If only he wasn't wearing it, Lilith would see how he arched a brow at her statement as he didn't like what she said. "You said it's rude for people to be ignored. Aren't you being rude for making such a remark?" "Oh!" Lilith gasped, making her cuter as she immediately touched her mouth with both of her hands in an attempt to shut herself up. The little girl spoke again, her voice heard even though she talked softly. "Lilith didn't mean to... Lilith is sorry. But Lilith was honest. Doesn't that make Lilith a good girl?" *** Amon, the Grim Reaper, appeared in the mortal realm to fulfill his job in collecting the souls of the dead. However, an unusual event occurred when he was about to collect one dying pregnant woman's soul.

The Curse of Third Wish

A Haunting Tale of Forbidden Desires and Inescapable Consequences** In a nameless, rain-lashed city where poverty clings to its residents like a second skin, an aging couple—**Haris and Amina**—struggle to survive in the shadow of relentless hardship. Their only solace is their devoted son, **Zain**, who works grueling shifts at a glass factory, his hands perpetually scarred by shards and heat. Though well past the age when most men marry, Zain has forgone a family of his own, pouring every ounce of his meager earnings into keeping his parents afloat. Their life is a cycle of evictions and crumbling rented rooms—until they move into *House No. 13*, a deceptively airy dwelling with a past that whispers through its warped floorboards. The Box That Should Have Stayed Buried** While cleaning, Amina discovers a **carved wooden box** hidden beneath a loose floorboard. Its surface is etched with a warning: *"Do not let greed conquer you."* Ignoring her husband’s pleas to leave it untouched, she pries it open to find a **40-bead rosary** and three slips of paper labeled: 1. *Your life’s first wish* 2. *Your life’s second wish* 3. *Your life’s third wish* Instructions scrawled inside the lid read: *"Write your desires. Misuse them, and fate will reclaim its due."* The First Wish: A Glimpse of Hope** Amina’s trembling hand writes: *"Let my son rise from this poverty."* Within days, Zain is promoted to foreman at the factory. The family rejoices—until Amina, emboldened, makes her **second wish**: *"Let my son marry into wealth, and let gold fill our home."* Soon, Zain is wed to the factory owner’s daughter, and coins spill from Amina’s once-empty cupboards. But the house grows colder. Zain’s new wife **flinches at his touch**, as if sensing something wrong. Then, news arrives: **the glass factory has burned to the ground**, and Zain—trapped inside—is reduced to ashes. The Third Wish: A Mother’s Fatal Love** Blinded by grief, Amina scribbles her **final wish**: *"Bring my son back to me."* At midnight, **something knocks**. The door creaks open to reveal Zain—or what’s left of him. His skin peels like melted wax; his eyes are hollow pits. He stumbles forward, whispering, *"You called me back… but the dead belong *there*."* Before Amina can scream, his charred hands close around her throat. Haris, waking to the noise, finds his wife **dead on the threshold**—her face frozen in terror. The box lies open beside her, its rosary beads now **cracked and blackened**. The third slip of paper is gone. In the days that follow, Haris vanishes. Neighbors claim to see **three figures** lingering near House No. 13 at dusk: a weeping old man, a woman clutching her throat, and a shadow with smoldering hands. The box, when found by new tenants, contains **fresh slips of paper**—and the cycle begins anew.

Between-worlds

GENRES: Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Action, Found Family, Mystery, Comedy with Romantic Undertones. ****** Aspiring doctor Sawyer West Reid’s relatively uneventful night shift took a decidedly chaotic turn the moment a powerful A-class witch targeted him. Instead of a swift demise, Sawyer’s life was unexpectedly saved by a formidable Hunter, violently yanking him into a vibrant, hidden world teeming with magic, enigmatic monsters, and the looming presence of cosmic forces from beyond the veil of reality. Now, Sawyer finds himself reluctantly thrust into an entirely new, and often terrifying, role: Enforcer, a precarious mediator navigating the delicate and often volatile relationships between humans, a diverse array of supernatural beings, and even the bewildering customs of alien races from the far reaches of the cosmos. Haunted by fragmented echoes of countless past lives that whisper secrets he doesn’t yet understand, and precariously balanced on the razor’s edge between interconnected realms, Sawyer’s journey is anything but ordinary. From surviving a near-fatal encounter with a towering, pale creature possessing chilling crimson eyes to being tasked with the urgent mission of closing a mysterious interdimensional gate ripped open by an unknown and potentially catastrophic force in the desolate Red Desert, saving the universe was definitely not covered in his medical school curriculum. In a universe governed by ancient, often contradictory laws, riddled with hidden dimensions and lurking cosmic threats (not to mention the bewildering complexities of alien social interactions and some truly baffling intergalactic beverage etiquette), Sawyer is rapidly learning that his medical skills and an unhealthy reliance on caffeine will only get him so far. Survival in this new reality will demand a crash course in the arcane, a reliance on newfound allies, and a surprising capacity for both quick wit and unexpected bravery. This story began as a desire to explore a supernatural tapestry richly woven with witches, werewolves, gods, monsters, and a myriad of other extraordinary beings – all meticulously grounded in the intricate universal laws that subtly govern their existence. What started as a single spark of inspiration has since ignited into an ever-expanding adventure, filled with peril, humor, and the burgeoning bonds of found family, that I hope will captivate your imagination as much as it continues to enthrall me. Thank you for embarking on this wild and unpredictable ride with me. I’m having an absolute blast, and I sincerely hope you will too! NOTE: Please be aware that this story contains scenes of violence and explores darker themes, and is therefore intended for an adult audience. ****** UPDATES (WEST AFRICA TIME): Exclusive character art for Patreon supporters every Monday; general chapter update for all platforms every Thursday; bonus chapter for Patreon supporters every Sunday. Please note that occasional breaks may occur to allow for storyline development and chapter refinement to ensure the highest quality reading experience.
