Starro Mind Control

“No mana. No problem.” Alaric Zevran Veyron was born into nobility in a world where magic decides everything—status, power, even basic respect. Unfortunately, he has zero mana. None. Not a spark. Declared a failure at age six, ignored by his prestigious family, and labeled “useless” by society, Alaric should’ve faded into obscurity. But he’s fine with that. Because while the world worships flashy spells and glowing circles, Alaric wields something they’ve never even heard of: Psychic power. Mind reading. Telekinesis. Precognition. Mental warfare. He can bend steel with a glance, shatter enchantments with a thought, and terrify battle-hardened mages without moving a muscle. Quietly overpowered and endlessly sarcastic, Alaric enrolls in the Royal Magic Academy—officially as a hopeless case, unofficially to enjoy a peaceful life. Naturally, things go wrong immediately. Now he’s: Accidentally humiliating noble heirs Befriending the school’s top sword prodigy (who may kill him later) Breaking entrance exams without lifting a finger Being investigated by priests for “possibly being a demon” Gaining a fan club he never asked for And worst of all? People are starting to notice him.

After graduating college, Emil Geltiff, a rare evolved being known as a Slimehian. He joins the elite and dangerous R.C.A. — the Rogue Control Association, an association tasked with tracking, subduing, and capturing Rogues: evolved beings who've lost control of their power, sanity, or morality. In a world where magic and hyper-technology coexist and every living creature can ascend into their truest, most powerful form, the Rogues are terrifying reminders of what happens when that power goes unchecked. Elves become High Elves. Dragons become Dragonoids. Humans, Demi-Humans, even Goblins — all can evolve. But some... lose themselves in the process. For Emil, this isn’t just a job — it’s also something personal. Years ago, when he was still a young simple slime, Rogues destroyed his village, annihilated his parents and the rest of his kind, and left him as the sole survivor. That trauma awakened something deep within him at such an early stage of his life than usual — a rare evolution. He became something new. Something stronger. Something more determined. With nothing left, young Emil made his way into the heart of the colossal cyber-fantasy capital, Reynets, surviving on odd jobs, highschool and college scholarships until he earned his way into the top. Now, Emil is ready to put his young and refined evolution to the truest test. To rise through the R.C.A. ranks. To hunt down those responsible. To take down every Rogue he'll encounter. And to learn new experiences, meet new people, make new friends and enjoy himself in his new environment and job. This is the story of a slime who refused to stay soft. Welcome to the world of evolution, cyber-fantasy, and rising legends.

Whispered rumors speak of illegal births, vanishing records, and a presence that doesn’t belong. As Cael descends, reality begins to fracture—and what he finds may challenge not just the law… but the nature of justice itself.

THE KNIGHT WHO STOLE ME A Darkly Romantic Tale of Obsession, Forbidden Longing, and a Love That Won’t Be Ignored --- "I was supposed to hate him. Then he stole me." Sarah Jane, a quiet 17-year-old with a heart too tender for her own good, never asked for the attention of Andrew Knight—the ruthless, coldly beautiful CEO of AK Corporation. She certainly never expected to be dragged into his world, forced to live under his roof, or subjected to his unnerving gaze that seems to strip her soul bare. But Andrew Knight doesn’t ask. He takes. After a chance encounter awakens a long-buried obsession, Andrew whisks Sarah away to his gilded mansion, claiming her as his own. Yet this is no fairy tale—this is a war. He replaces her old things with expensive replicas—identical, but better. He watches her sleep, tucking her in with hands that could crush empires. He memorizes her sighs, counts her blushes, and hates how much he craves her fear. And Sarah? She should resist. But the deeper she falls into his world, the harder it becomes to deny the truth: Andrew Knight didn’t just steal her freedom. He stole the broken pieces of her heart—and refuses to give them back. --- WHY IT WORKS: “HE NOTICED HER FOUR YEARS AGO.” (Flashbacks reveal Andrew has been watching since her school speech. That photo in his drawer? Just the beginning.) “SHE LEFT HER DOOR UNLOCKED ON PURPOSE.” (And he knows it. The midnight temple kiss? Neither of them will admit it happened.) “THE COCKROACH SCENE.” (A bug makes him yank her into his chest. His heartbeat? Faster than hers.) “SAM, THE ULTIMATE CHAOS GREMLIN.” (“Andrew, if you keep glaring at her, she’ll think you hate her.” Andrew: “Good.” —Lies. Lies everywhere.) “THE ‘ONLY YOU’ WHISPER IN THE MAYBACH.” (His car. His rules. Her in the passenger seat. No one else.) --- TROPES YOU’LL DEVOUR: "Touch Her and You Die" Energy Forced Proximity (One mansion. Two stubborn hearts.) "Who Hurt You?" Backstories Slow Burn (So slow it burns the house down) Possessive AF CEO (“Look at me, Sarah. Only me.”) --- FINAL HOOK: "He was supposed to be her prison. Instead, he became her addiction." --- READ IF YOU DARE: You love morally grey men who loathe their own weakness. You live for heroines who are soft but never weak. You need a slow burn that hurts so good. --- WARNING: This story contains: Unresolved sexual tension (So much glaring.) A CEO who doesn’t know how to relax (But tries for her.) Sam. (Just… Sam.) --- THE KNIGHT WHO STOLE ME (Because love isn’t given. It’s claimed.)

In a world where memories are no longer private and reality bends with the will of the mind, Aaryan Vel, a philosophy student, awakens from a coma into a city veiled in ash, silence, and half-remembered ruins. But the city remembers too much—and not all of it is real. Plagued by visions of ghost-like doppelgängers and haunted by whispered fragments of a past that never fully existed, Aaryan stumbles upon a disturbing truth: the world he inhabits may be a beautifully constructed lie, a neuro-illusion engineered to cage the pain of a dying civilization. The people around him—each lost in their own circular truths—seem less like survivors and more like dreamers who’ve forgotten they are asleep. Guided by Mira, a blind painter who paints only the future, and Dr. Rahil, a neuropsychologist studying the unraveling minds of “awakened” citizens, Aaryan begins to dig into the buried codes of the city’s illusion—something known only as The Reflection. It is a phenomenon that distorts perception, unroots memory, and ultimately shatters the mind’s fragile grip on what is true. As reality fractures further, Aaryan must face a harrowing choice: accept a comforting lie that preserves meaning, or destroy the illusion and confront a reality that may be uninhabitable, even unrecognizable. A tale that blurs the line between memory and madness, illusion and identity, The Mirror of Silent Minds is a profound exploration of what it means to be—when even truth itself can be manufactured.

I am the youngest son of the Jaegal clan’s leader — and a failure. At twelve, they discovered I suffered from an incurable condition: I couldn’t cultivate or manipulate formations. To my family, that was the same as being dead. Without honor or future, I was sent to a place no one took seriously: the Low Mist Sect — a handful of forgotten monks in the mountains, with no warriors, no reputation, no power. The only thing they cultivate is silence. Mocked as cowards and laughed at by the entire murim world, they never raise swords — but they know exactly where swords will fall. And it was there, among shadows and silence… that I began to see the world as it truly is.
