Bali Traffic

Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own. Desperate for cash, she stumbles upon a peculiar job listing: a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery, promising a month’s rent for just one night of work. Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races. Is he a ghost, a trick of the light, or something more sinister?

Ascension of the Goddess of Decay

Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, you may have read my other stories. I'm starting this one as a bit of a "getting back into it" story. (The synopsis will be further down) Both stories I've written will continue in the near future. (I have to re-read them because I've experienced a massive bout of memory loss.) Apologies for those of you waiting, but I had unavoidable circumstances that impeded my writing experiences. The cover isn't mine but it's been lightly photoshopped. If you want it taken down, tell me. (Signed by Author on April 25th, 2023) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

[BL] Guardians of Fate

“I waited for you my entire life... and you were worth every minute.” Ardyn Lowell normally forgets his dreams. He’s a normal young adult who has good friends and a happy family. He should be contented with his life, but there’s always this nagging feeling of yearning in his heart, a longing for someone that never seems to disappear. In his dreams, however, he remembers everything. He remembers the man who always visits him, the man who always sits next to him on the edge of the fountain in a beautiful garden. He can never clearly see the face of this man, but the yearning in his heart ceases when he is with him. But when he wakes up, he forgets the man once again, and the longing in his chest never goes away. The day of his graduation ceremony comes, and Ardyn is late. Catching traffic on the way, he unexpectedly meets with a major car accident and dies quickly, suddenly. When he wakes up, he’s in another world. In this world, there exists a dark, malicious entity that threatens to destroy the entire planet and its people. This is where Summoners come into play. In order to seal away this entity, a Summoner must go on a journey and search for their 7 Guardians in order to summon the 7 Spirits that will aid them in sealing away this great evil. They must not fail, or else none will be able to survive. As an Otherworlder Guardian, Ardyn is faced with a massive, unfortunate burden. He must search for his Summoner, and he must also discover himself and his purpose along the way. The journey is long and filled with hardships, but they have no choice. They have no choice but to save this world in order to live. --------------------------------------------- — Inspired by Final Fantasy X and Fushigi Yuugi NOTE: This is an isekai fantasy BL (boy's love) novel.

Also, since there are multiple characters involved, they will have their own character arcs. [Story created by Rainflowers in 2021.

The thief of silver and souls

Title: The Thief of Silver and Souls In the shadows of a kingdom where silver is prized above all and souls can be traded like coins, Zia Renaud is a name that strikes fear and fascination. Known as the Thief of Silver and Souls, she's a daring rogue with a hidden purpose: to avenge the family that was taken from her and to unravel the mystery of her origins. But Zia's latest heist comes with an unexpected twist. When she steals an ancient silver amulet rumored to bind souls, she finds herself entangled with Leon, a cursed prince whose spirit is trapped within the amulet, and Alaric, a mysterious and charming rival thief with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate a world filled with dangerous magic, underground markets, and ruthless sorcerers—all while racing to uncover the truth behind the amulet's powers and to keep their own dark pasts from consuming them. As alliances blur and passion ignites, Zia will face the ultimate choice: protect her own freedom, or save the souls of those she's come to care for. --- Characters: 1. Zia Renaud The Thief of Silver and Souls. A fearless and witty master thief with a knack for outsmarting anyone who gets in her way. Though she's quick with a blade and quicker with her words, she guards her past closely. Zia is driven by a desire for revenge and freedom, hiding a heart more compassionate than she lets on. 2. Leon Elara The Cursed Prince. Once heir to the throne, Leon's spirit has been bound to a powerful amulet that Zia steals. Trapped and unable to move beyond the amulet's reach, Leon is both Zia's reluctant ally and a source of hidden wisdom, with knowledge of dark magic and court secrets. He carries a tragic history and a hope for redemption. 3. Alaric Draven The Rival Thief. Mysterious, charming, and equally skilled, Alaric has crossed paths with Zia before, and their tension is electric. While he keeps his motives guarded, he's drawn to Zia's fire and the danger that surrounds her. Alaric has ties to the kingdom's criminal underworld and harbors his own reasons for seeking the amulet. 4. Madame Seraphine The Soul Broker. A powerful sorceress who traffics in rare magic and lives off stolen souls. She's the dark force behind the amulet's creation and has a personal vendetta against Zia. Manipulative and vengeful, she'll stop at nothing to reclaim what Zia has taken. 5. Emory Gray The Healer. A gentle but skilled healer who helps Zia after a close escape. Emory has a surprising knowledge of ancient magic, and though he avoids conflict, he becomes a steadfast ally in Zia's quest. His presence in the story adds a balance of calm and support. 6. Lady Isolde The Noblewoman. Once close to Leon, Lady Isolde is now a powerful figure in the royal court, respected for her intelligence and rumored to be ruthless. She has her own reasons for getting involved with Zia's journey, and her loyalty is never quite clear, making her a mysterious and unpredictable presence.

After a near flat out run, for 15 solid minutes, making it outside the huge hunters building, where hundreds of thousands of new hunters and old are streaming in for various reasons, some are just like her here to activate the system and see what they awakened as and to register.Walking in and looking around having to hop several feet in the air a few times to survey over the crowd, in doing so drawing some attention from several group all around wondering if she is part rabbit or something, some of the people in line in front and behind her giggle and laugh and a couple dwarves smirk as they realize what she is trying to do before she finally sees that she actually randomly selected the correct line on the first try. "phew, made it, and im not dead last, hopefully i awakened something with machine..." she says,a bit of forshadowing.

Bookworm Elijah Demereaux dies while reading the final book of his favorite novel series from his phone atop the rooftop of his dorm building. He then wakes up in an unfamiliar room, inside an unfamiliar body. A surge of memories began to assimilate in his mind. That’s when Elijah learned that he had actually transmigrated into the body of an Extra with the most broken set of powers in the novel, Terra Uru. Upon reading the memories of Terra, Elijah discovers a big easter egg. “F*ck! This guy is a regressor!” Terra is actually a regressor and he was supposed to die much later on in the original timeline. However, the infamous Butterfly-kun showed up and killed Terra off before the story even began this time. His favorite character in the entire series dies just like that within a year? Having possibly died once, Elijah would be damned if he dies a second time so early on in the novel. Armed with all the knowledge of both Terra’s future and the novel series, Elijah will have succeed in what his predecessor failed to do… Prevent the death of the Luminous Emperor while simultaneously preparing for the Altar War. *** I’ve been reading up on a lot of novel reincarnation/transmigration tropes and had a fresh dose of inspiration at 1 in the morning. This book will be in 1st POV. This work is participating in the 2024 Spirit Awards. I’ll also be uploading every 2-3 days. Sometimes everyday depending on the flow of traffic at my job.
