The girl gave a sudden cry of protest. The leader of the beggars had caught her arm and, as she reached out for her dagger, the second man caught her free arm and twisted it up and away from her belt....... Authur sighed and quickly turned throwing back his cloak and drew his sword from where it was hanging behind his left shoulder. Producing weapons from under their rag clothes, the band of four beggars turned to deal with the newcomer. Authur sent the first man sprawling in the dust with a shrewd blow from his sword, as a dagger was raised to strike him. The second beggar had a cudgel, and as he slashed at Authur, he found himself facing an incredibly long sword, probably the longest he had seen in his life, snaking over the top of his hand to prick at his throat. The man howled, tripping over his feet in an effort to avoid the wicked looking sword. The third beggar attempted to come over from behind Authur, but Authur as if having eyes behind him quickly stepped to his right hand side, throwing his sword from his right hand to his left hand to meet the leader of the gang who himself had a wicked looking blade of his own also, which was sent flying at an incredibly fast speed from his hand. The leader howled and doubled over, clutching at his elbow. It was over.........

But by night, she becomes _Luna_ , an underground idol wrapped in secrecy. No one knows her real name. No one knows her real face. And that’s exactly how she’s survived. Until now. Because someone is watching . _Kairos_—a ghost in the system, a hacker who doesn’t just break into networks but into lives. He was sent to track her, to gather intel, to report back. But the more he watches, the more he _wants_ . Every message he sends is a warning. Every intrusion is a claim. Every whispered threat is laced with something darker—something he refuses to name. But Kira isn’t just being stalked. Someone else is hunting her. Someone who doesn’t care about Luna , the idol. Someone who wants Kira dead. Now, she has two choices: Run from the faceless threat closing in on her real life. Or confront the man behind the screen who refuses to let her go. Because Kairos isn’t just watching anymore. He’s _waiting_ . And if she falls into his hands… escape may no longer be an option. How do these two worlds collide? Under what circumstances will they meet—will it spark a forbidden romance or a tragic downfall?

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

Taong 2036, isang asteroid ang tumama sa mundo at nagdulot ng malupit na pagkasira. Kasabay ng pagsabog ng nakakasilaw na liwanag at enerhiya, nagsimula ang isang malaking pagbabago sa mga tao. Lahat ng tao ay nagkaroon ng kakaibang kapangyarihan na nagbigay sa kanila ng mga bagong kakayahan. Anim na Antas ng Kapangyarihan: Mythical Legendary Epic Rare Uncommon Common Lahat ng tao ay may sariling abilidad, pero si Artix Murat ay hindi pa alam kung anong kapangyarihan ang meron siya. Sa unang araw pagkatapos ng pagbagsak ng asteroid, napansin ni Artix na halos lahat ng tao ay may kakayahan, pero siya ay parang wala. Isang araw, habang inaatake siya ng isang grupo ng mga bandido, dito lumabas ang kanyang abilidad na tinatawag na "All Draws." Ang kanyang kapangyarihan ay may kakaibang epekto—lahat ng laban o kompetisyon na kanyang sasalihan ay laging magtatapos sa tabla. Hindi siya pwedeng manalo, pero hindi rin matatalo. Pero, hanggang saan ang limitasyon ng kapangyarihan niyang ito? Ang All Draws ba ay isang kahanga-hangang abilidad, o isa lang itong walang kwentang kapangyarihan? Habang patuloy na haharapin ni Artix ang mga hamon sa bagong mundong ito, matutuklasan niya kung paano ang kanyang kapangyarihan ay magdadala sa kanya sa mga pagkakataon at pagsubok. Sa kabila ng mundo kung saan lahat ay may abilidad, paano siya magtatagumpay kung ang tagumpay at pagkatalo ay hindi na maaaring ituring sa kanya?
