Sakura Angst

#ACTION #ADVENTURE #BETRAYAL #TRAGEDY #WAR#ANGST ______________________ In a world fractured by storm and prowling with monsters, survival is both an art and a curse. Governed by elemental resonance, where individuals known as Resonarchs wield the forces of nature, Ezra, a young scavenger with a sharp tongue, finds himself entangled in a dangerous web of secrets and ancient powers. Life on the outskirts has always been harsh, but when a terrifying encounter with a terrifying beast awakens a mysterious light within him, his life takes a dangerous turn. As Ezra begins to uncover hidden truths about resonance, his abilities, and the world beyond, a dormant ancient force threatens to unravel the delicate balance of the elements. With the fate of the world hanging by a thread, Ezra is thrust into a battle against time, alongside a group of fractured allies, each harboring their own dark pasts. As he ventures deeper into the heart of the fractured world, the line between man and monster blurs, and Ezra is forced to confront the darker aspects of his own existence. But one ally harbors a secret so devastating, it could doom them all. As Ezra’s powers grow, so do the stakes. Will he unlock the mysteries of resonance in time to save the world—or will he be forced to watch everything he loves fall to ruin? One thing is certain: the world will never be the same. And not everyone will survive. As enemies close in and the echoes grow stronger, Ezra must decide: will he remain human, or embrace the monstrous truth that might destroy everything he’s ever known?

"Dein Bett ist kalt", sprach eine Stimme im Raum, die ihre Augen vor Angst weit aufreißen ließ. Nervös drehte sie sich um und schluckte leise, als sie einen Schatten auf ihrem Bett sah, als ob jemand dort läge. Der Mann, der gelegen hatte, setzte sich auf und tauchte aus den Schatten auf, wo er auf sie gewartet hatte. "Was machst du hier?" fragte sie, als seine Füße den Boden berührten und er sich aufrichtete, um auf sie zuzugehen. Seine gutaussehenden Züge wirkten dunkler als sonst aufgrund des fehlenden Lichts im Raum. "Ich bin gekommen, um dich zu treffen", neigte er den Kopf, "Wo warst du?" "Ich war spazieren", kam die schnelle Antwort, die ihn lächeln ließ, ein Lächeln, das ihr am meisten Angst einjagte. Sie trat einen Schritt zurück, als er ihr nahe kam. Es hielt ihn nicht davon ab, sie in die Ecke zu drängen, und ihr Rücken stieß an die Wand hinter ihr. Er hob seine Hand zu ihrem Gesicht, und sie schloss die Augen, verängstigt. Sie erschauderte, als seine Finger von ihrer Schläfe über ihr Kinn und ihren Hals strichen. Ihr blondes Haar hing offen. "Mitten in der Nacht?" Sie antwortete ihm nicht, wissend, dass er ihre Lügen durch ihre Worte entschlüsseln konnte. Er trat näher, was sie dazu brachte, ihr Gesicht von ihm abzuwenden, und seine Worte vibrierten auf der Haut ihres Halses, "Bist du zu ihm gegangen, mein süßes Mädchen?"

"Komm her", befahl er ruhig, die Ohrringe in seinen Ohren waren sichtbar, während sein dunkelrotes Haar zurückgekämmt war. Kaspian schüttelte erneut den Kopf, er hatte nicht die Absicht zu sprechen, niemals. Denn das würde nur sein Geschlecht verraten. "Ich wiederhole mich nicht gern, Omega." Seine Stimme verfinsterte sich. Caspians Herz pochte vor Angst schmerzhaft in seiner Brust, er wollte dem Alpha wirklich nicht zu nahe kommen.

At 18 years old, Hikaru Sano is a published novelist on the brink of a breakdown. Struggling with deadlines, a writer’s block that feels more like a writer’s mountain, and a growing pile of unpaid bills, Hikaru’s life is spiraling out of control. That is, until he’s forced to hire an assistant—Miyuki Hoshino, a no-nonsense college freshman who dreams of something more than just being another cog in the system. Miyuki is organized, sarcastic, and the complete opposite of Hikaru. She walks in ready to help him get his life together—if only he’d get his act together long enough for that to happen. Between surviving last-minute rewrites, chaotic deadlines, and an editor who could break a man just by typing in all caps, they find themselves stuck in an unlikely partnership. As the two spend late nights working together, an undeniable connection begins to form. But there’s a problem: both Hikaru and Miyuki are too shy, too awkward, and way too stubborn to admit their growing feelings. Add in some dark humor, a touch of romance, and a lot of writer’s angst, and you get a comedic ride through the unpredictable world of book deadlines, creativity, and finding love where you least expect it—between the lines.

Yuuto Sakurai, a 19-year-old high school failure, spends his days devouring wish-fulfillment stories. One night, he stumbles across yet another "LHS" novel-where the protagonist is insanely overpowered but insists on acting like a weakling. His needless self-sabotage ruins his image, social life, hurts those around him, all because it's the so-called "right thing to do." Frustrated, Yuuto burns the book, cursing its stupidity, and goes to bed. Then he wakes up... as the main character?!

Sakura Suzuki has always prioritised her friendship with Mia Yoshino, even when it meant burying her own heart. In their second year of college, both girls fall for Haru Soma, but when Mia confesses her feelings, Sakura chooses loyalty over love, silently stepping aside to help Mia win his affection. Years later, on Mia and Haru’s wedding day, the carefully constructed facade shatters. In a shocking turn of events, Haru kisses Sakura—the maid of honour—and confesses a long-hidden truth: "It was always you, Sakura," he said softly, his voice rough. "I've always loved you. Not Mia. You." Guilt and longing consume Sakura as she grapples with the revelation. That night, she makes a wish at 11:11—and wakes up nine years earlier, back in college, on the day she first met Haru. Given a second chance, Sakura is determined to claim the love she sacrificed—but rewriting the past is far more complicated than she imagined. Her choices start to unravel everything she once knew. Friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and Sakura must confront the painful truth: Pursuing her own happiness could cost her everything she holds dear. Will she find the love she's always dreamed of, or will her second chance destroy the very life she hoped to protect?

Even as a child, Sakura sees herself as different than the other kids. Instead of playing and running around as the other normal kid does, she preferred sitting quietly in her seat and reading some of her (?) books. Just like she always says, “grown-ups always do this.” However, after experiencing a strange event, in which she felt an unknown emotion, she couldn't just live like the way she was thinking, she's more of a grown-up than the kids her age. “I felt my chest in a flame, and every spark of its fire prevented me from breathing. It felt too hot but it also felt suffocating as though I fell into deep water and desperately swam up. If I'd got stuck here and never get to the surface, I was certain it would leave me nothing but burns and suffocation.”
