Rhyme Anima

[COMPLETO] Reth avançou em direção a ela, queixo baixo, fazendo com que a sombra projetada por sua mandíbula rígida cortasse a espessa gola de pele de seu colete. Seus cabelos haviam caído sobre seus olhos durante o confronto, então ele a espreitava por entre eles como um leão na grama. A cada passo, seu andar gracioso e ondulante a fazia lembrar de um predador perseguindo sua presa. Apesar do chão da floresta estar coberto de galhos e folhas, ele não fazia nenhum som. “Qu-quem é você?” Elia gaguejou, recuando, com as mãos para cima. Ele acompanhou cada passo dela até que ela bateu forte contra a árvore atrás dela — e não parou até que ele pairasse sobre ela, tão largo que seus ombros e peito formavam uma parede à sua frente. Ela podia sentir o calor emanando de sua pele no ar fresco da noite. “Eu sou o Rei Leonino.” Sua voz era um cascalho escuro e rouco. Atrás dele um coro de sibilos, uivos e chilreios de concordância se levantou do povo que observava. “E você é?” “Elia,” ela respirou. “Elia,” ele rosnou, inclinando-se mais perto, trazendo consigo o aroma de pinho e chuva e o almíscar de algo distintamente masculino. “Eu sou Reth.” Ele disse o nome com um estranho rolar gutural na garganta. “Eu sou o Rei das Feras. Eu sou o Líder do Clã, e eu sou Alfa de WildWood.” Vários rosnados se ergueram das multidões atrás dele, mas ele os ignorou. Elia engoliu enquanto ele se inclinava até que o cavanhaque em sua mandíbula roçasse sua bochecha. “Eu sou o Rei,” ele disse, “E você será minha parceira.” A floresta atrás dele irrompeu. ****** Elia é uma estudante universitária pobre até a noite em que é levada ao mundo dos Anima — governado por humanos cujos corações antigos pulsam com o sangue dos animais. Lá ela é forçada a um combate até a morte. Mas quando Elia sobrevive, e se recusa a matar seu último oponente, o Rei deve ou matar Elia ele mesmo, ou tomá-la como sua parceira. Reth, o brutal Rei das Feras com o sangue de leões, surpreende a todos quando escolhe a fraca humana Elia para se tornar sua Rainha. Ele promete a ela todo o conforto de sua riqueza e posição — mas deixa claro: Ela não aquecerá sua cama. Ele a escolheu para derrotar aqueles que tentavam pressioná-lo a mesclar sua linhagem Leonina com os Lobos. Elia precisa da ajuda dos Anima para se tornar mais forte e governá-los bem. Mas os Lobos vingativos veem apenas uma humana fraca que lhes trouxe vergonha. Conforme Elia e Reth se aproximam, os lobos estão determinados a destruí-la. Reth e Elia admitirão seus sentimentos um pelo outro a tempo de lutar pelo Reino — e por suas vidas — contra a traiçoeira tribo de lobos? Ou os lobos matarão Elia e roubarão o trono?

[Reth pirschte sich an sie heran, das Kinn gesenkt, so dass der Schatten, den sein harter Kiefer warf, den dicken Pelzkragen seiner Weste streifte. Sein Haar war ihm bei dem Handgemenge über die Augen gefallen, so dass er sie dadurch wie ein Löwe im Gras ansah. Mit jedem Schritt erinnerte sein anmutiger, rollender Gang sie an ein Raubtier, das sich an seine Beute heranpirscht. Obwohl der Waldboden mit Zweigen und Blättern übersät war, gab er keinen Laut von sich. "Wer bist du?" stammelte Elia und wich mit erhobenen Händen zurück. Er kam ihr Schritt für Schritt entgegen, bis sie hart gegen den Baum hinter ihr stieß - und blieb erst stehen, als er über ihr aufragte, so breit, dass seine Schultern und seine Brust eine Wand vor ihr bildeten. Sie konnte die Hitze seiner Haut in der kühlen Nachtluft spüren. "Ich bin der Leonische König." Seine Stimme war ein dunkler, heiserer Schotter. Hinter ihm erhob sich ein Chor aus Keuchen, Heulen und zustimmendem Gezirpe von den Zuschauern. "Und du bist?" "Elia", hauchte sie. "Elia", knurrte er, lehnte sich näher heran und brachte den Duft von Kiefernholz und Regen und den Moschusgeruch von etwas eindeutig Männlichem mit. "Ich bin Reth." Er sagte den Namen mit einem seltsamen, gutturalen Räuspern in der Kehle. "Ich bin der König der Bestien. Ich bin Clanführer, und ich bin der Alpha von WildWood. Aus der Menge hinter ihm ertönten mehrere Knurrlaute, aber er ignorierte sie. Elia schluckte, als er sich zu ihr hinunterbeugte, bis seine Kinnlade ihre Wange berührte. "Ich bin der König", sagte er, "und du wirst meine Gefährtin sein." Der Wald hinter ihm brach aus. ****** Elia ist eine arme Universitätsstudentin, bis zu der Nacht, in der sie in die Welt der Anima entführt wird - regiert von Menschen, deren uralte Herzen mit dem Blut von Tieren pulsieren. Dort wird sie in einen Kampf auf Leben und Tod gezwungen. Doch als Elia überlebt und sich weigert, ihren letzten Gegner zu töten, muss der König entweder Elia selbst töten oder sie als seine Gefährtin nehmen. Reth, der brutale König der Bestien mit dem Blut von Löwen, schockiert alle, als er die schwache, menschliche Elia zu seiner Königin erwählt. Er verspricht ihr alle Annehmlichkeiten seines Reichtums und seiner Stellung - aber er ist sich sicher: Sie wird nicht sein Bett wärmen. Er wählte sie aus, um diejenigen zu besiegen, die ihn in die Enge treiben wollten, um seine Leonische Linie mit den Wölfen zu vermischen. Elia braucht die Hilfe der Anima, um stärker zu werden und sie gut zu regieren. Doch die rachsüchtigen Wölfe sehen in ihr nur einen schwachen Menschen, der ihnen Schande gebracht hat. Während Elia und Reth sich näher kommen, sind die Wölfe entschlossen, sie zu vernichten. Werden Reth und Elia sich ihre Gefühle füreinander rechtzeitig eingestehen, um für das Königreich - und ihr Leben - gegen den bösartigen Wolfsstamm zu kämpfen? Oder werden die Wölfe Elia töten und den Thron an sich reißen? [Erwachsener Inhalt - keine sexuelle Gewalt] Titelbild mit bezahlter urheberrechtlicher Genehmigung verwendet.

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them."

As Vastian embarks on a journey of self-discovery and confronts the looming threat of the Forgotten, ancient and malevolent entities who seek to reclaim their place in the world, he must navigate a treacherous path filled with danger, betrayal, and the unsettling truths about his own family.

… My head… it's fucking hurt! I feel like someone is pounding inside my head, holding inside of my brain, as if it were wrapped in a woman's firm thigh… Coiling there around my head, squeezing them into submission… My head felt like it was about to split open, spilling memories of cheap beer, it tasted like horse piss. Loud music that can make the ear deaf. What the hell! I groan, squinting against the unfamiliar, Luxurious surroundings. This isn't some dingy bar with sticky floors and questionable clientele. Where are those men rubbing shoulders with each other! And Lisa! That fucking slūt! Did she hide this from me! Bītch! This isn't luxurious? It's more like a damn hoarder's wet dream. ‘Asher Aegis,' the name echoed in his mind, a bitter curse on his tongue. He was Asher Aegis, the infamous villain from "Eternal Heroes: The New Dawn of Desire," a notorious VR game notorious for its brutal realism and adult themes.

"Your Lord, if your wish is to amuse me, then retrieve your acts." She interrupted me, and I knew I had done her erroneous. "My apologies. I did not know when to ask, speak, talk, or request for your name. My utterances before were out of nervousness, my princess. I don’t know the effects it has had, but I am glad. Glad of your presence, and my presence as stated, as long as our speeches rhyme, am happy. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~* He knew his stand, he knew his label, he knew.., he sure knew. A bastard’ To some it was just a name, an English decent name, but to many, especially those in the highest ranks of the social class, knew, they knew what kind of hefty drift being associated with such a labeled man meant to his whole, they knew. And he,… he.., was born as one, a bastard. A bastard, a bastard was what he came to know his name as,… Lord Willock,.. a duke’s son but a King’s decent to be precise, lived a life of now, as tomorrow was nothing but a luck. The boy, knew all, he knew love, ooh how wou;d he forget the face of the dazzling girl who made her forget all his worries, right on the ballroom dance floor. How would he forget, how would he forget, he was a bastard, if every conversation seemed to have nothing but the name on it.., However, maybe destiny was meant to be linient or tough on him, its all his fate to face. Dearest reader, let’s embark on the journey of Lord Willock, and see what lemons life throws at him, and his coping mechanisms, in times of tragedy, and maybe he was more fated for good fortune than just a label..? A labeled man was meant for ‘death!!!’ A word and statement well known.., ~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But, as stated earlier, as you all know, all wizards, royals, peasants, and members of higher social classes have one thing in common. They all had a fear—not a fear of debts or of God—but a fear of shame, and he, he who was borne out of the shame, bore the sin. A debt and label, he alone shall carry; and a bastard he became. May God have mercy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I appreciate all of you dearest readers for taking the opportunity to join me in my fantastical world, through my fondness for Willock. As we embark on this journey, and as you join me to see through the eyes of this young lad, I wish you all the enjoyment you desire, and may all your desires take the best of turns. This is a novel I'm quite, or rather, I'd say, I love writing. As the plot rises to its course and falls to its rhythms, I hope you will enjoy all the nuances of our dearest Willock. I acknowledge all of you and encourage you to keep pushing me to do more, and to reach the best of my potentials. All love. Enjoy, fam...

NOTE: This story is discontinued and completed. It was written at a time I was very sick and thought. It would not turn out well. I have shifted the energy of writing to a new story that is a more intense form of BDSM and romance but doesn't delve as deeply in pending death and doom. In the realm where mortals tread, I observe their frantic scurrying, stumbling from grace, and bowing before false deities. They sacrifice kin and companions, seeking fleeting solace. The art of traversing known realms and conquering fear eludes them. I have allowed them to wander aimlessly for far too long. The foul scent of hope pollutes the world as they yield to fear, devoid of valor and pride. I dispatched my begotten sons, time and again, to seduce and ravage the sins of the masses, heralding an era of death and desire. Plagues and wars unfurled as my sons painted the world in chaos. A sly grin emerges upon my lips, for I delight in the spectacle. It reminds me of a nursery rhyme from a bygone era, whispered at a child's bedside. The darkness weaves strange reminiscences of the bittersweet. A child afflicted by plague's boils and the mother's dread realization of transmitting her malady. Through the ages, naught has changed since their first steps upon the earth. Agony and despair linger in the air, the essence and longing of existence. Amidst the apparent serenity, a subtle note of turmoil wafts—a melody of corrupted souls. For even in their docility, these creations can wield ruthlessness. Alas, they revere strength, unaware that the mightiest often shatter, crying like infants as their bones snap between my fingers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Should you seek a tale of systematic oppression, generational torment, vile assault, and the macabre, I extend an invitation to the narrative of innocence's demise—the beauty found within life's darkest corners. The battle yet wages, and perchance, as my final thoughts manifest, redemption shall unfold its melodic strains. Or perchance, I shall pen their ultimate sentence—an exquisite requiem, unbridling my vengeance in the shadows cast by Nica.

Summer time is here to rhyme

It was called the technology that changed the world. The «Nervous System Synchronization», or «NervSy2nc», [Pronounced, Nerve Sync]. It fundamentally changed how society interacted with the digital world; information, data exchange, and the internet were altered with the release of the NervSy2nc. The «NervSy2nc», a device that allowed man to physically feel, and connect their minds to information network through the neuropathic systems. These systems connect each device to the synapses that connect neurons together, and then connect those pathways to the information Highway. This technology brought man into a new age of understanding, and technological advancement. With the birth of the «NervSy2nc» Most physical mediums - cellphones, computers, and handheld devices - became obsolete. Medicine made leaps in bounds in both diagnosis, and treatment of a wide variety of diseases and illnesses. Though the use of the «NervSy2nc», with enough money advanced Skills, and techniques could be learned in days, directly uploading the skills to the mind. Languages could be processed, and understood near instantaneously. Memories, and vast amounts of data could be stored, retrieved, or removed within minutes. Along with the development of the technology came «Quantum Super Computing» and the eventually development of «Virtual Intelligence», programs designed with near life like qualities. Through development of the «NervSy2nc» and «Quantum Super Computing», special «Virtual Intelligence Programs» called «Per.S.O.N.A», or «PERsonal System Operating Neuropathic Anima/Animus» were created with the intent to assist in information flow and management. Each «Persona» could be told to restrict, and block incoming harmful junk data, while accessing and sorting potentially helpful data. Each «VI» was designed with a multitude of forms, personalities, and voice data. In this new digital age of information and data exchange, a new use for this technology emerged, changing the face of gaming forever; the «R.E.M.D.» or «Rapid Eye Movement, Dive System» - often referred to as «Dream Gaming» - came to be. R.E.M. Diving allowed players to place their mind in a virtual body, while their physical body slept, placing oneself in an artificial, vivid, and lucid dream. This technology allowed games to reach new heights by directly placing the player into the game, with little to no side side effect. The Development of this technology- «NervSy2nc» and «Dream Gaming» all stemmed from, Rin Maurus. Rin Maurus in turn continued to take his technology to new heights. He created a single game that linked all genres and styles, while doing what was before an impossibility, linking the entire world through this game and many others. He created quantum network servers to link all servers of the world together seamlessly. This created a new virtual world that was much larger than our own, that was traversable from one sever to another without a break in connection. Millions upon millions of players worldwide have joined this game, leading to a membership count of over two billion. In this fictional world anything was possible; Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror and Social platforms. All became possible; in this world you could do anything or be anyone you wanted. This is the world built by the genius, Rin Maurus.

Su’en is the most senior disciple of the Dao Sect in the Heavenly Domain, despite being of average talent. However, he stumbled upon a Critical Compensation system: Whenever he gave up his opportunities to others, he would obtain Critical Compensations, multiplying his gains and rewards. [Congratulations on giving up a Foundation Establishment Pill. You have unlocked a hundredfold Critical Compensation. You have gained 100 Foundation Establishment Pills!] [Congratulations on giving up a Xuan Rank technique. You have unlocked a thousandfold Critical Compensation. You have gained a Heaven Rank technique!] [Congratulations on giving up the egg of a Nine-tailed Owl. You have unlocked a Critical Compensation. You have gained the egg of the divine beast: the Vermillion Bird!] … Su’en’s junior Ye Lingyun declared, ”Senior, you have done so much for you. In order to repay you, I must marry you!” The other disciples of the sect announced, “We, the younger generation of the Dao Sect, will bow to no one but Senior Su!” The Empress of the Sky Demon Sect demanded, ”You gifted me the Emperor Rhyme Purple Gold Lotus, the only one of its kind in the world. And you claim I am nothing to you?” Su’en looked at the two divine maidens—one good, one evil, both beholden to him in devotion. He said, “Maybe I am selfish after all.”

[COMPLETE] What life is left for a warrior when there is no more enemy to fight? ...He knelt before her in the posture of a soldier giving honor to their Queen. And she didn't even know it. “Harth," he rasped, "I come empty-handed. I bring no weapon. Because I swear to you, I will never choose to harm you. Never draw your blood—in anger, or in fear. I bring no shield. Because I vow I will never defend myself from your eyes, your hands, your mind. I am yours.” ***** After a year of peace in Anima, Tarkyn finds himself... lonely. As the Captain of the Queen's Guard and a lion-shifter, he has met every female in the tribes, but never found his mate. Certain he must have overlooked someone, Tarkyn undertakes a grueling ritual, pleading with the Creator to reveal her. But the ritual presses him to the end of even his formidable strength. Yet, the Creator heard his cry... Discovered on the brink of death by his mate, Harth, and nursed back to health, Tarkyn now faces the most difficult battle of his life. Because Harth isn’t just a stranger to the Anima, she is a weapon of the humans who tried to destroy them. Can the love of a warrior and his enemy bring peace to Anima? Or will they be torn apart forever by war between their peoples? ***** STANDALONE STORY: While Tarkyn's story is a part of the Anima world and fans will be reunited with some of their favorites as side-characters, Tarkyn and Harth are new POV characters and their story is a new plot arc, so their story can be enjoyed without reading the previous books! But please add Falling in Love with the King of Beasts, and Taming the Queen of Beasts to your library to enjoy later! Cover Art by artist: Aenaluck.

‘What destroys a human being?’ Athaliah Leighton is merely a 16 year old lady but she is bound to find out. In the clash of power; in the pull of love and transcending betrayals. Many wonder when her journey down the spiral began, but only she knows when exactly it was; on the day she met that madman of an emperor- Joaquin I. To his people, he is a great ruler, but to her he is nothing more than an enigma. One day, he proposes marriage for no rhyme or reason. The other day, he dyes her vision in a rain of blood for her. Another day, he stands in front of her about to pull down the guillotine. Sometimes Athaliah thinks to herself that it is love that they share. But as the dangers of the court manifests itself. As Royal concubine Vilma - her mother gives her a secret mission to betray everything they had. As another man secretly holds her heart. How will the story turn out? Will the seed of their hard built trust bring a garden of camellia or will it result in a forest fire? (This is an original story)

{A crossover based on a Visual Novel still in the works called ‘PRiSMA’, and heavily inspired by the Light Novel called ‘Anti-Magic Academy’. Thus, the plot and events are reminiscent of the latter.} The denizens of the underworld, Anima and long forgotten Martial Artists of the Murim, both allied with each other to fight humanity. Their attacks almost caused the fledgling Magi to become extinct. When heroes appeared to fight off the invading forces, the ‘First World Ender War’ finally came to a conclusion. In the stalemate that followed, the new Magi went through a technological revolution. In the current era of peace, the Anti-Martial Academy was made to fight off those Martial Artists infiltrating the Earthland Domain. In the present, the ‘Red Queen’ was demoted back into the Academy. Forced to join the ‘Support Squad’, a team of outcasts who can’t fight even to save their lives, the one most uncomfortable became Fritz Lazrik, the leader that seemed too much like a pushover. Wielding a MagiPen in hand, he has the small hope of being able to beat the ‘monster’ joining them. The start of their legend begins... ———— I have posted this on RoyalRoad.

Warning, 21+ mohon bijak dalam membaca. Avery Selena Dawn, seorang gadis yatim piatu 25 tahun yang baru saja lulus dari jurusan fashion design memutuskan untuk nekat mencoba melamar pekerjaan pada perusahaan fashion kulit dan bulu yang terkenal bernama Anima, karena kesulitan yang sedang melilit panti asuhan tempatnya tinggal dahulu yang menyebabkan anak-anak di sana kelaparan. Ia tentu saja sangat bersemangat ketika pada akhirnya diterima pada perusahaan itu. Perusahaan yang terkenal sangat ketat dan sulit menerima karyawan baru itu, bahkan memberinya kontrak khusus dan pendapatan yang terbilang tinggi untuk karyawan canggung yang tak berpengalaman sepertinya. Awalnya Avery mengira kontrak untuknya hanyalah sekadar kontrak kerja biasa sampai ia mengetahui bahwa kontrak itu adalah kontrak yang dibuat sendiri oleh Dominic Lucius Aiken, sang CEO sekaligus pemilik perusahaan itu ketika ia telah tinggal di mansion tua mewah yang sebelumnya ia kira adalah tempat khusus untuk para karyawan Anima. Tetapi dugaannya salah, ketika sang CEO sendiri ternyata juga bertempat tinggal di sana. Dominic, pria yang begitu tampan, gagah, misterius dan sangat mempesona itu, yang selalu terlihat dikelilingi oleh para wanita kemana pun ia pergi, membuat Avery sedikit muak. Pasalnya, ketika para wanita yang ternyata juga tinggal seatap dengannya, kerap memusuhinya dan selalu mencoba membuatnya tampak buruk ketika mereka mengira ia adalah 'mainan' baru sang Alpha! Tunggu, Alpha? Siapa? Dominic? Siapa ia sebenarnya hingga para wanita menyebutnya Alpha?!
