Hashira Estate

Some doors should never be opened. Some voices should never be heard. Elara Rook has always been haunted—by whispers in the dark, by fleeting shadows, by the unsettling feeling that she doesn’t belong to just one world. But when she returns to the abandoned Rook estate, the voices become more than just eerie murmurs. They become memories. Vivid. Terrifying. Real. One touch, one vision, and she is thrust into the past—reliving the pain, the terror, and the secrets of spirits who refuse to be forgotten. A girl trapped in a room that no longer exists. A scream that echoes through time. A warning buried beneath the house’s rotting bones. As Elara digs deeper, she realizes she’s not just an observer—she’s a key. And something, or someone, is waiting for her to open the final door. Somewhere beyond the veil, the dead are watching. And they are whispering her name.

Rosellene Valentine, the eldest daughter of Earl Valentine, was the epitome of beauty, a fragile and untouchable rose that bloomed in the frozen gardens of the Valentine estate. After reaching the depths of despair. She returned unexpectedly, stepping back in time by seven years. Before fate and time had ruined her. Then, She met him...The Duke of Eryndor, the kingdom's guardian and shield. She had become gracefully attuned to the admiring glances and silent reverence of those around her. So much that she could feel the weight of every lingering glance, the unspoken affection in his eyes, as his love for her bloomed, undeniable and apparent...once again. "Should your joy be the prize, I would gladly place myself at your service." His golden eyes seems to glow faintly in the dark as he whispered softly. (The Prince charming X The Damsel in Distress)

Eris has always lived in her twin sister’s shadow—powerless, unwanted, forgotten. But when she stumbles upon a forbidden altar hidden within her family’s estate, she makes a desperate wish. The game answers. Instead of magic, she is dragged into an ancient, bloodstained trial—a twisted game that reawakens every fifty years. The rules are cruelly simple: Win, and seize power beyond imagination. Lose, and be erased from existence. Trapped in a world where reality bends, monsters hunt, and betrayal is inevitable, Eris must outthink, outlast, and outfight enemies far stronger than her. But the deeper she delves, the more she realizes— This game is not what it seems. The whispers of past survivors, the forbidden alliance defying the system, and the sinister Blood Path Society—all point to a truth too horrifying to comprehend. And in the ruins of a past trial, she finds the first clue to her fate: "Only the forgotten are truly free." The dead do not rest. The system never forgets. And Eris is running out of time. To survive, she must embrace the darkness, outplay the gods, and break the game itself—or become just another forgotten soul. The game has begun. And this time, it will end.

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No Yuri - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist]

I’m a woman based in Cleveland, Ohio, and as a data analyst, I’ve always prided myself on making calculated, well-researched decisions when it comes to my investments. I’m careful about where I put my money, whether in stocks, real estate, or even emerging markets like cryptocurrency. So when I came across a promising crypto platform, I thought it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I was casually scrolling through TikTok one evening when I first heard about this platform. It seemed legitimate, with lots of positive testimonials and high returns being promised. After reviewing everything carefully, looking at user feedback, features, and even doing some basic background checks, I decided to invest $200,000. It was a calculated risk, or so I thought. I was feeling pretty confident, believing I had made an informed decision based on the data. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse. The platform started experiencing delays in withdrawals, and customer support went silent. At first, I thought it was just a technical issue, but as days turned into weeks and my funds were still tied up, I began to worry. I eventually realized the worst-case scenario: I’d been scammed. The platform disappeared entirely, taking my investment with it. It was gut-wrenching. All that time and effort I’d put into research seemed pointless, and I was left wondering how I’d missed the red flags. Feeling frustrated and defeated, I turned to YouTube in search of answers. As I was watching videos related to crypto scams, I came across a comment that mentioned Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Someone had shared their experience of recovering lost funds with their help. Curious, I did some more research, and everything I found about Digital Tech Guard Recovery seemed promising. I was hesitant at first, but given my situation, I decided to reach out. Digital Tech Guard Recovery quickly took over the process. WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com

Christopher, once a master Beast Tamer was betrayed by the very disciples he had nurtured, now found himself reborn. His life, dedicated to training and empowering five promising individuals, had ended abruptly, their betrayal a bitter sting even in death. But death was not the end. He awoke as Christopher Valhalla, the eldest son of one of the capital city's most influential families. The Valhalla name carried weight, a legacy of power and respect. This new life, however, was not a clean slate. The memories of his past life, the sting of betrayal, the burning desire for revenge – they remained, etched into his very soul. He looked around his opulent new surroundings, a stark contrast to the humble training grounds he had called home in his previous life. The Valhalla estate was a testament to their wealth and influence, a sprawling complex of manicured gardens, imposing structures, and an air of undeniable power. He was no longer a mentor, the supreme tamer, or a provider; he was now a scion of power, a prince in his own right. This newfound status, however, was merely a tool, a stepping stone on his path to vengeance. Christopher knew he couldn't simply reveal his past life. The world wouldn't believe him. He had to play the part of the pampered, privileged son, all the while secretly plotting his return to power. He remembered the faces of his betrayers: Leon, the cunning strategist; Alex, the brute force; Isabelle, the master of illusions; Jax, the silent assassin; and finally, Electra, the one he cared about. They had taken everything from him – his life, his beasts, his reputation. Now, they would pay. His first priority was regaining his strength. And his beasts, the loyal companions who had fallen alongside him. Christopher couldn't afford to make the same mistakes he had made in his past life. He began his training, honing his physical abilities, pushing his body to its limits. He knew that raw power alone wouldn't be enough. Not only that, but he needed to be smarter, more cunning, more ruthless than his former disciples. So, Christopher delved into the Valhalla family's library, devouring ancient texts on beast taming, combat techniques, and strategic warfare, not really necessary, because of his memories, but you must always be prepared for anything. He sought out information on rare herbs and potions, anything that could give him an edge. He would make his former disciples regret the day they crossed him. Christopher Valhalla was not just a name; it was a promise. A promise of retribution. The five Master Beast Tamers would learn the true meaning of betrayal, and Christopher would be the one to deliver their punishment. No System to assist Mc. He gained all his Powers through making choices and countless battles!! _______________ Author's word, This Books will remain free till it clock 100 Chapters!

“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.

I was nothing but a mindless, rotting corpse, shuffling through the darkness—until a party of adventurers cut me down. That should have been the end. But instead of eternal rest, I woke up in the body of a noble. Fancy clothes, a sprawling estate, and servants calling me "Young Master." Sounds like a dream, right? There’s just one problem… I still have zombie instincts. Table manners? A nightmare. Holding a conversation? Harder than dodging a fireball. And apparently, calling the meat "too fresh" makes people really uncomfortable. Just as I start adjusting to this bizarre second life, my battle-hardened siblings return with unsettling news—monsters acting strangely, whispers of an ancient hunger awakening. And when I take my first bite of monster meat, I realize something terrifying: My hunger isn’t fading. It’s only growing. But the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes—this hunger isn’t just mine. The Tower is waiting. The heavens are watching. And something in Tower… is calling me back. I'm moving now to Royal Road and scribble hub. web novel rejects my novel.

In the depths of a cursed reflection, truth and deception blur into one. Vivian Sinclair never believed in the supernatural—until the day she moved into Blackthorn Manor, an old estate shrouded in unsettling whispers and forgotten secrets. A long-forgotten mirror hidden within the greenhouse awakens something inside her, something that shouldn’t exist beyond the glass. A shadow of herself stares back, watching, waiting. At first, the visions are subtle—flickers of movement when no one else is there, a whisper of her name in the dead of night. But as the days pass, the haunting presence becomes undeniable. Her reflection begins to move on its own, revealing memories she never lived, secrets she never uncovered, and a version of herself she doesn’t recognize. Sebastian Graves, a scholar obsessed with the manor’s dark past, warns her that some mirrors do more than reflect—they remember. And the one in Blackthorn Manor doesn’t just hold history; it holds something alive. Something that wants out. As the lines between reality and illusion fracture, Vivian realizes she isn't just being haunted—she is being rewritten. The more she resists, the stronger the presence grows, feeding off her fears, her doubts… and her lies. Because the darkest truths aren’t the ones buried in the past. They’re the ones we tell ourselves. And in the end, the mirror never lies. But Vivian might.
