Crying And Screaming

In the Kingdom of Orlos, only those who have any kind of talent will receive fortune and glory. In a competitive society, only those considered strong would survive, but their strength will be determined by the star that shines on their birthday. The archdukedom of Felnatus has four heirs, all born into wonderful and auspicious stars, but one hidden heir is treated like a lowborn in the family.

Zukhanyi has lived a life carved in shadows, her hands stained by a fire she never meant to light. Naledi carries scars she never asked for, protecting a secret that changed her forever. When their paths cross in a quiet village outside Durban, what begins as survival becomes something far deeper — love, built in silence, cemented in truth. Together, they create Embers & Ash, a charcoal business built with strategy, sacrifice, and secrecy. But as they rise, the world begins to notice — and so do those who want to see them fall. Haunted by their pasts, hunted by corrupt officials, and bound by a love that refuses to break, Zukhanyi and Naledi must decide: keep hiding, or burn everything down to protect what they’ve built. In a world where truth is dangerous and love is rebellion, silence may be the only weapon left.

"Where were you last night?” “Take off your clothes, and I’ll answer.” “Don’t play games with me. Where did you go?” “We’re not married yet.

They call her La Leonessa, the most dangerous woman in Brookhaven. She claimed me. Married me. But this isn’t a marriage. It’s a hostage situation.

The problem, someone keeps shooting at us. But the bigger problem is, I don’t know if it’s her, my father, or me.

He had been waiting stuck in a room with transparent walls surrounding him. The only view he could see outside was 'Nothing'..There was nothing ..not even a single non living entity. It was dark all around..but sometimes he could see a pinkish light dispersed in the surrounding which used to disappear after some time. The room he was in had been floating in this darkness unaware of where it was heading just lost in this pin drop silence. Surprisingly he had not been hungry nor tired in these five years. But he felt he would go insane in this loneliness and eternal silence....

A mother who just lost her child. "It's not you fault mama, i'm in a better place now. "

The world remembers him only in whispers. In stories meant to frighten children. In scriptures sealed behind church vaults. In the charred ruins of cities that dared to stand tall. They call him many things. The Lord of Endless Midnight. The Sovereign of Ashes. The Demon of the Last Light. No one speaks the name he once bore. No one remembers the man. His throne sits atop a black citadel built where no grass grows. No birds sing above it. No stars shine above its towers. The land around it decays — not because he wills it, but because the gods themselves turned their eyes away from him. He does not speak. He does not smile. He does not sleep. Only once in a while, when the flames of war flicker low, he dreams — and the world trembles. In those dreams, there is no blood. Only a woman’s laughter, soft and warm. A child running through wildflowers. A fire in a hearth that smells like safety. Faces blurred by time, yet never truly forgotten. He wakes. He feels nothing. And so he marches again. The world believes he seeks conquest. That he wishes to drown the continent in darkness. But that is not the truth. The truth is worse. He is not here to rule. He is here to erase. To burn the world that betrayed him, not out of hatred… but because it no longer deserves to exist. He tried to protect it once. He begged. He bled. He trusted. And for that, they fed him to the flame — and made him need the darkness. It was not always like this. He was not always this. He once had a name. He once had a family. He once had a friend who called him brother. They are gone now. He remains. Not Kael Viremont, the Duke of the Western Vale. No. That man died in chains of ash and blood. What remains now… ...is a silence the gods cannot bear to hear. Let the world scream his name in fear. Let them curse the night he fell. Let them pray to empty heavens. For the last light is long gone. And its scream has only just begun.

Cynthia Fola is a woman who seems to have it all. A celebrated author. A loving wife. A devoted mother. Her books have touched hearts across the world, yet the story she’s never told is the one still bleeding inside her. Six years ago, in the silence of her apartment, she miscarried a child she never told anyone about. Not her friends. Not her therapist. Not even Damson, the man whose name she whispered through the pain. He left her soon after, never knowing what she lost. She never asked why. She just survived. Now living in quiet elegance with her husband Levi and their son Adam, Cynthia has carefully rebuilt a life that looks whole. But when a professional event in Dubai brings Damson back into view — older, bolder, and standing on the very stage she’s meant to own — the walls she’s held up begin to crack. Memories return with force. Her body remembers the ache. Her heart remembers the silence. And in the glow of chandeliers and applause, she is forced to confront the love that left her, the pain that shaped her, and the truth she buried beneath success. Cry Me a River is a lyrical, unflinching portrait of grief, motherhood, marriage, and memory. It is the story of a woman who gave everything to protect someone’s dream, only to nearly die in the process — and what happens when that dream returns, asking for her voice again.

For Arata Itsuki, life is a movie where he's just a background character. His mission is simple: be invisible, graduate peacefully, and never get involved in the drama of the main characters. He is a master observer, and his primary subject is Aizawa Nanami—the goddess of perfection, the school idol whose life seems flawless. Their worlds were never meant to intersect, save for one anomaly: the cold hatred Aizawa Nanami always directs at him, a mystery too exhausting for Arata to solve. But his gray routine is shattered when he witnesses the tragedy that takes Nanami's life right before his eyes. That horror should have been the end of an ordinary day, but for Arata, it was just the beginning. He wakes up on the same day. Again, and again. Trapped in a prison of time, Arata soon realizes the only rule in this loop of fate: the day resets every time Aizawa Nanami meets a tragic end. Arata, the apathetic background character, is now forced to be the hero in a story that isn't his. The problem is, how do you save someone who wants nothing to do with you? Someone whose gaze could freeze your blood? With each repetition, Arata begins to see the cracks behind Nanami's perfect mask. He soon understands that the accident was no coincidence, but the climax of an unseen suffering hidden behind the goddess's smile. To break the cycle, Arata must become not only her protector, but also a detective, unraveling a past trauma that is the root of Nanami's hatred for him. Faced with a repeating destiny, Arata must find the answer to an impossible question: IF I DIE TOMORROW, WILL YOU CRY TODAY?

Abel should have broken long ago. Trapped in a suffocating, lightless prison, time grinds against him like a dull blade. There were no answers, no way out, only the quiet torment of waiting. When desperation pushed him to consider death, the system was more than willing to oblige. The countdown had already begun before he begged it to stop. So he trains, fights, tears himself apart, and watches his body stitch itself back together, stronger each time.  The agony should have stopped him. Instead, it becomes his purpose. Over a year later, the system activates. Mocking achievements. Cryptic titles. And a simple, world-shattering message: [ Would You Like To Leave? ] The choice should be obvious. But after what Abel's become, after what Abel's done, what kind of world is waiting for him on the other side? Abel was never intended to be a monster. But, trapped in the dark, stripped of choices that didn't lead to death, and left with nothing but time, what else could he become?

In the midnight glare of neon lights and city noise, the vibrant facade of a nightclub masks a darker undercurrent of despair, rebellion, and choices that shape destinies. “Nocturne of Ashes” begins with a powerful confrontation between two cousins—one upright and studious, the other rebellious and lost in the neon haze of nightlife. Zhou Chaochao, a principled and composed young woman, finds herself outside the nightclub "Huise," desperately trying to pull her cousin Zhou Yuan out of the shadows. Zhou Yuan, only seventeen, has dropped out of school to work in a club as a hostess. With her provocative appearance and defiant attitude, she is a stark contrast to Zhou Chaochao’s buttoned-up demeanor. Despite their childhood bond, they’ve grown apart—one ascending the path of education, the other descending into the city’s underbelly. What unfolds between them is a heart-wrenching conversation that reveals more than just diverging life choices—it peels back layers of pain, social inequality, and broken families. Zhou Yuan is not merely rebellious; she is a young woman cornered by circumstance. With a mentally ill mother and a gambling father, she’s learned that beauty and street smarts are her only currency. To her, books are a luxury for the privileged, not a lifeline for survival. Just when Zhou Chaochao is about to give up, the night takes a darker turn. Lost in the chaotic crowd inside the club, she finds herself harassed by drunken thugs at the door. It's here that the story shifts from emotional drama to tense suspense—until a mysterious man steps in. Enter Lu Lie—a cold, disheveled, and enigmatic figure with a piercing gaze and a dangerous aura. With swift decisiveness, he pulls Zhou Chaochao into his arms, saving her from potential harm. But he’s no knight in shining armor. He’s rough around the edges, brimming with cynicism, and seems to carry a past full of shadows. Their brief, charged encounter leaves Zhou Chaochao stunned—especially because she remembers him from long ago, though he doesn’t seem to recognize her. This single night sets off a ripple of emotions and consequences. For Zhou Chaochao, it marks the beginning of a silent awakening—into a world far darker and more complicated than the pages of her textbooks. For Lu Lie, it's just another detour on a mission rooted in danger, as he receives a coded message through his earpiece hinting at an undercover operation. “Nocturne of Ashes” is not just a tale of reunion or rescue—it’s a layered exploration of moral ambiguity, youthful rebellion, and the choices that define us. At its core, it’s about two people whose lives shouldn’t intersect, and yet do—in the most unexpected way, on the most dangerous night. This story blends urban grit with emotional vulnerability, making it a compelling read for fans of realistic fiction, suspense, and emotional drama. Through raw dialogue, tightly paced scenes, and rich character psychology, it invites readers to ask: When the world has already labeled you a “bad person,” is redemption still possible?
