The first day of school doesn't go as planned. Nikko is late and he's literally running to school. He's so nervous, and the random guy that laughed at him while rushing through a crossroad, didn't add up to his mood.... *I am not an owner of the cover photo*

“I only want you, Maximus. I already told my parents that I love you and I'm going to marry you. No one else.” Aurora indignantly exclaimed. Max was shaking his head from what he heard. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” He felt himself losing his strength as well as any chance to change her mind. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair, almost sitting on it. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. His gaze fell on the ground. He’s powerless against his father. He won’t be able to protect his girlfriend from his family. He didn’t notice that Aurora was already in front of him. He just felt her palm on his cheeks, caressing it gently. He looked up to her. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Like a defeated child. She’s rubbing her thumb against his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head. “It’s never fair.” She commented breathlessly. “You get everything you want.” He ignored her actions. He’d gone numb all over. This girl was too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. He shook his head as he looked at her straight in the eyes. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ************** Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max. But how can she make him fall for her when he already had someone? He loves his girlfriend. Maximus D’Arco can’t escape his family’s wish for him to marry the only Fontalva heiress. Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks? **************** AN: Be warned!!! This is not your typical romance. As the story progresses, it tackles family, career, toxic relationships, twisted attraction, love, hate, lust, and heavy drama. There will be cases in which you can be sensitive. Lastly, this is not for the weak of heart. Please read the FOREWORD. Thank you.

In the shadowed city of Atherium, a power has awakened—a power to control locks and unlock hidden truths. As rumors spread, intrigue turns to obsession, and a ruthless hierarchy forms. Lockey, a high school student, finds himself at the heart of this mysterious phenomenon, struggling to control his newfound abilities. But as he unlocks more than he bargained for, he’s plunged into a perilous world of twisted secrets, lurking darkness, and the haunting cost of power. Will Lockey rise above the corruption around him, or will the allure of power consume him? Welcome to The Cipher—a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the struggle to hold on to humanity amidst chaos.

Ren Liang was born weak. Frail in body, cursed by fate, and mocked for his white hair and blue eyes, he was little more than a ghost in the village of Jinxi—a boy bound by his own limits. Unable to cultivate, unable to fight, and abandoned by the world, his only choice was to endure the ridicule of others while dreaming of a strength he could never grasp. Until he stumbled upon the shattered remains of a forgotten artifact. The Shard of the Infinite, an object of power lost to time, merges with Ren’s very soul, granting him the ability to duplicate anything—a stone, a blade, a treasure. Yet power always comes at a price, and each use drains his frail body to its breaking point. Hunted by cultivators, stalked by beasts, and burdened by his own weakness, Ren is forced to flee into a world of ruthless sects, ancient ruins, and untold wonders. But survival is only the beginning. As he discovers the shard’s true potential, Ren begins to carve a path of his own—one paved in shadows, blood, and ambition. Those who mocked him will kneel, those who betrayed him will fall, and those who underestimated him will learn the truth: Beneath his name’s promise of virtue lies something far darker. From the ashes of weakness, a tyrant will rise. From the edge of despair, an empire will be born. And in a world where power is everything, Ren Liang will take his place— Crowned in Shadows.

Johan thought he knew monotony—long hours at work, nights spent solo gaming. But when he’s summoned to Eosdadalon, a world of magic, his friends are hailed as the Heroes of Prophecy, while Johan is cast aside, deemed unworthy. Stumbling upon the mysterious Sanity System, a power unlike anything the heroes possess, Johan's path veers into the unknown. Meanwhile, the Penumbra—a pitch-black fog consuming everything in its path—creeps across the land, threatening to engulf the world. Outside the prophecy, with no place in its story, Johan must carve out his own path, unlocking the full potential of the Sanity System to help save a world that may never accept him. His journey is no longer about being a hero but about survival. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm currently updating In-Sanity System weekly with multiple chapters, but if this story gains more traction, I'll happily update more.

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

There are days when everything seems to go wrong and then there are days like the one I locked myself out of my Bitcoin wallet, which held an astounding $1 million. It started innocently enough. I was trying to change my password to something more “secure.” But in my rush, I mistyped it and confidently told myself, “I’ll remember this.” Famous last words. Hours later, as I stared at my screen, my heart raced. No matter how many combinations I tried, the correct password eluded me. It felt like a nightmare, my financial future dangling by a thread, completely out of my control. Desperate and running out of options, I turned to Digital Resolution Services. I was a ball of nerves as I dialed their number, half-embarrassed and half-terrified. But from the first moment, their team put me at ease. They were kind, professional, and reassuring. Not once did they make me feel foolish for my mistake. Instead, they calmly walked me through their recovery process, explaining how they could help. It was clear from the outset that I was in expert hands. Their team immediately got to work using advanced tools and techniques to tackle the problem. Days passed each feeling like an eternity but I clung to the hope that they would succeed. Then came the call I’d been praying for. They had unlocked my wallet, and my $1 million was safe and sound! Relief, gratitude, and disbelief swept over me all at once. It felt like a second chance, and I knew I’d never forget this experience. If this ordeal taught me anything, it’s the importance of managing passwords carefully. I now double-check every password, store them securely, and use tools to prevent mistakes like this from ever happening again. For anyone facing a similar crisis, I cannot recommend Digital Resolution Services enough. Their expertise and professionalism turned my nightmare into a victory. They’re the best in the business!

"I'm just a silly child with an unreachable dream. As a child, I always dreamed of being a Hero, but I went down the wrong path. I now look back at my foolish dream of wanting to be a Hero and saving others. Me, a Hero, what a farce. My sins can never be repented for they were too great." "Hah, don't even get me started on the story about my journey, for it's just a long and painful route to becoming a Diamond." "Power, luxury, worlds we can have all of them, but we can never fully be happy." "Diamond goddess my ass!! What is the use of becoming a powerful being if we can't even Live peacefully?" She turns to look at the child with pink hair and pink eyes. "Would you be interested in knowing who we are?" Iris asked the child. "Yes of course since I'm one too it would be good if I know," Polyra answered shyly and she twisted her hair on her fingertips. "Diamonds were supreme beings that were given to create life and destroy life, also known as world destroyers. They could pass through time and dimensions and create worlds of their own." I said as stars formed around them. "All Diamonds have a Diamond Gem in their body plus we have Diamond-shaped pupils to identify ourselves." "So then are we like cool or something," Polyra asked joyfully. Iris gave her a blank yet sad look, "I wish we were..." "All I know is throughout myself as a Diamond all I've felt was pain, but one thing that keeps me going is to find my sisters." "Diamonds are never free unless we're truly strong, but if we aren't we would be chased for the rest of our days." "What about the rest of the other Diamonds? There must be more people like us, right? Polyra asked nervously. "They're not my problem to deal with," Iris said coldly. "Then why did you save me?" Polyra asked as she stared deep into Iris's lifeless eyes. "Maybe a connection, I don't know." She responded. "Well then Iris if you won't find the rest of the other Diamonds, I will," Polyra stood up proudly. "Hahahaha, fine then have it your way." "Polyra, do you still want to be the Pink Diamond and become my follower?" she asked, stretching out her hand. "How can you also ask such a silly question Iris. You were the one who raised me and I don't care if I become a follower of the Black Diamond Goddess, because you're like a mother to me," she said softly. "Then the whole heavens would hate you dear child. For the Black Diamond shall always be the Diamond to bring calamity, chaos, and evil upon everything…." "And the Diamond war shall begin soon."
