Hypnagogic Hallucinations

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

The CEO Who Hates Me

“He knew he should not go easy on her, but his heart is challenging his mind…” (Warning: Novel is r-18 with strong mature content but NO rape and violence!) **** Arya Tan, a beautiful, young, wannabe actress, was in a difficult situation that her only option was to agree on a deal offered to her to save her loved ones' lives. The deal was to make the aloof man named Ryu Ken fall in love with her, only to leave him heartbroken and devastated afterward. Would she succeed, and if she did, would she be able to escape Ryu’s wrath? Ryu Ken, a ruthless CEO who never gave a second glance to any woman how-much-ever beautiful she was, gave his heart to one woman. And despite his warnings, the woman broke his heart and left him. So he vowed to find her and punish her as brutally as he could. But could he really punish her when deep in his heart it was still her he longed to be? Could love overcome the hate buried in his heart? ====== Excerpt: "Leaving already? You seem to be in such a rush to talk to me. Why don't you spill it out now?" Stunned, Arya wondered if she was hallucinating. The voice was very familiar. The man's arm encircled her waist, abruptly pulled her towards him. He then leaned forward and scornfully whispered into her ear, "Aren't you here to negotiate? I was hoping you had a better offer." She tilted her head to look up at the rude man and was left open-mouthed looking at a familiar face. She was shocked but mumbled, "Ryu?" Ryu smirked and stared at Arya's slightly opened lips and said, "Did you miss me? How about this?" Before Arya could utter another word, Ryu captured her lips abruptly and kissed her roughly. ========== Author's Note: Hope you enjoy reading this ORIGINAL novel of mine (It's absolutely a happy ending!

I Can Hear Everyone's Inner Thoughts

In a company meeting, I was listening attentively to the leader's lecture when I suddenly heard a charming voice. "George Wilson, the nerd, doesn't even look at me, but I haven't seen him for years. He's so handsome now. He seems pretty majestic too, and I don't know what it's like to be fu*ked by him." I looked up incredulously to see who was so bold as to rush to say such things at a meeting where the cold and beautiful chairman was present and to call me by my name directly. Did we know each other before? But I looked around and found that everyone was all serious as if they hadn't heard anyone speak at all, and I thought I was hallucinating, but I heard the voice again, "Gee, I really want to be nailed by him. Why don't I take him to my office later?" I was shocked to sweep from the face of each female colleague, but everyone was serious in the meeting, and only the beautiful chairman would glance at me from time to time. I thought I had been caught off guard, hurried to pretend to listen carefully, and the voice also disappeared, but at the end of the lecture, I was surprised to find that her voice was actually the same as the voice I heard, although the tone was different, it was definitely one person. Could it be that she was the one who just spoke? Did we know each other before? Just when I was surprised, the meeting ended, and the beautiful chairman also looked at me and said, "George, why don't you come to my office!" I looked at the beautiful chairman in shock. Was it really her? And she wanted me to go to her office to have sex with me?
