``` Méfiez-vous des trahisons du destin. —- Les yeux rouge flamboyant de Sterling transpercent le regard terrifié de Faye. « Ma petite papillon, ne comprends-tu donc pas ? Une fois qu'un dragon reçoit quelque chose de précieux, il ne le lâche jamais. » ---- Faye Montgomery est une jeune noble de bas échelon prise dans un jeu de trahison impériale et de mort. Peu après le décès inopportun de sa mère, Faye est informée par son beau-père ivre et dépravé qu'en échange des dettes croissantes de sa famille, elle sera vendue dans un mariage contractuel. Son nouveau mari est le commandant de chevaliers le plus célèbre et le plus redouté de l'Empire d'Eastcarin... Duc Evan Sterling Thayer du Lac de Stanhall. Dès sa première rencontre avec le guerrier austère et glacial, Faye comprend que sa situation est bien pire qu'elle ne l'imaginait à l'origine. Elle se rend compte qu'elle a rencontré le Duc dans le passé. La jeune mariée pense désormais que la mort aurait été préférable à être vendue dans cette union impitoyable avec l'ancien adversaire de sa famille et l'homme responsable de ses malheureuses circonstances actuelles. Cependant, au fil du temps, même en luttant pour se libérer de cet homme abomination, Faye découvre que leurs fils rouges du destin sont plus étroitement entrelacés qu'elle ne l'imaginait auparavant. Ils sont tous deux devenus des marionnettes malgré eux de l'empire. Avec les nombreux agendas cachés et secrets de ceux au pouvoir autour d'eux, ils devront mettre de côté leurs différences et former une alliance s'ils souhaitent survivre.

L'année 2056, dans une ville de la région Yuan Jiang Su Jin. Au sommet d'un appartement résidentiel en ruine de six étages se trouve un adolescent vêtu d'un gilet de combat, de pantalons militaires et de bottes de combat en alliage. Sur son dos est accroché un bouclier hexagonal et équipé d'un couteau de combat ombre-sanglante. Il est assis là silencieusement au bord du toit. À ce moment-là, le ciel étincelant brillait et il y avait une respirabilité rafraîchissante dans l'air qui soufflait vers lui. Cependant, il n'y avait que silence au sein de la ville en ruines et déserte, avec parfois un hurlement qui fait manquer un battement à votre cœur.

"Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a profound and emotional story that explores the lives of several young people marked by their personal experiences, inner struggles, and complex relationships. Through the eyes of Pariz, the protagonist, the dark nuances of a life filled with difficulties are revealed: bad grades, a broken family due to an alcoholic and abusive father, poverty, and the pain of living in a constant struggle for survival. Pariz, accustomed to indifference and pain, seeks to escape her reality through cigarettes while confronting her own emotional emptiness. On the other hand, Lápiz, a girl with a past of abuse and loneliness, has never known love in any form. Her childhood was marked by abuse at her old school and the abandonment of any family figure. Now, with a closed and distrustful personality, she finds it hard to open up to others. She lives in a constant state of distrust, unable to connect with those around her, slowly opening up to new emotions, cherishing them, but also denying them. She constantly fights with herself to accept experiences and learn from them, recalling blocked memories and disturbing experiences, confronting them little by little to discover herself. Each character in the story has their own background and development. Johan, JJ, Joakin, and other companions, all with their own wounds and motivations, play a fundamental role in the growth and transformation of Pariz and Lápiz. As they face their own trials of pain and redemption, their paths intertwine, leading each one to confront what they fear most: their own fears, traumas, and the possibility of finding something as foreign to them as love and acceptance, in a small group of young people wounded in different ways, hiding it to be with others. "Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a raw and unembellished exploration of the effects of abuse, loneliness, emotional dependency, and the desire to belong. It is a story unafraid to show the darkness of life and the disappointment of any attempt to escape that hole, but it also highlights the sparks of salvation in a poetic way, even if imperfect and filled with scars.

[Synopsis] In a dark, underground basement, a spooky old man's voice sent shivers down my spine. "You're gonna meet your end, hahaha," he taunted, before lunging at me with a sword, slashing the air, and spattering my throat with red drops. "We'll see," I defiantly whispered, my last words fading as I drifted into darkness. Suddenly, I woke up in a bustling tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses. A captivating lady stood before me, her beauty clashing with her angry expression, ready to disrupt the cheerful mood. "Don't stalk me," she snapped, giving me a harsh look before storming out of the tavern. Am I stuck in some kind of game? My common sense shattered, leaving me questioning my reality. ------------------------------------------- [A/N: Give it a read, buddy; you won't regret it.] [Discord Server Link: https://discord.com/invite/4gVfcaePJS]

He asked her as he began the ride to his house. "You had your men drag me out, remember?" She laughed and closed her eyes, the soft curve of her smile a stark contrast to the tension between them. Leo stared at her, his gaze lingering for a moment before he looked away, his expression unyielding. Nothing can make him fall in love with her. "Did you understand my terms?" he asked, his voice low and detached. "My lawyer will arrive soon, but first, I need you to understand." Abi's eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting Leo's in the rearview mirror. "You told me that we are going to be married because of our scandal and the baby," she began, her voice even. "We are free to be in other relationships. We are not going to share any slightest form of intimacy, and we would go our separate ways when the baby is born. And, of course, I'll still have access to the baby." A small smile settled on his face, approval flickering in his eyes. "Seems like you're not that useless. You're a little smart." Abi's smile grew, a spark of pride igniting in her voice. "I was the most brilliant kid in my class. I had a GPA of 4.7 when I was graduating." Leo's smirk was lightning-fast. "That's so low. I would have graduated with a 10.0, but unfortunately, I was still the highest with a 5.0 in my department. You may go back to school to match my score."

Rien de bien prétentieux simplement l'espoir d'être écouté et de réfléchir ensemble à la beauté de ce monde comme sa laideur, à sa grandeur tout autant que le ridicule de sa taille fasse aux étoiles.

~Love at first sight~ Having a crush is something very stressing mostly when he/she considers you as nothing else than a friend. I wrote this story mainly showing that as much as you can try not to fall in love, u found yourself already in love and there is no way you can fight it cz life never goes our way. No matter the rules or limitations you make for yourself you may end-up breaking them unknowingly cz you can't stop your heart from functioning. So this story talks about a boy called Justin Acker, a son of a very rich man who everyone envies but instead his life doesn't go his way. He lost his mother at 6years and at the same time his father's attention and affection, he only remained with his personal maid Teresa (Tess) who took care of him. That made him to hate girls...So if you want to know how he ended up falling in love with a girl read the story. ~Enjoy~
