Across the Huron Sea: Lust For Life

Seized by a panic such as she had never experienced in the 21 short years of her life, Mira scrambled against the man's grip, and a whiff of blood mingled with an intoxicating scent of cedar. “Shh,” he murmured, lowering his head. Pressed against his firm chest, she gulped at the dark red seeping through his shirt ivory white. She risked a glimpse up. Under a silver-black phantom half mask was a sculpted face, strands of jet-black hair sweeping his cheeks. Contrasting his pale complexion were those burgundy red lips, above which, a straight nose cast a shadow on his thin eyes the color of onyx. He glanced down at her, his gaze otherworldly. “If you’re thinking of getting on the back of the truck,” he wheezed, his larynx heaving. “Bad idea.” Deep like the rumbling sea and magnetic, his gravelly voice threatened to drown any audience. ----- History repeats itself. In a world ten thousand years after ours perishes, the planet is ruled by the First World, consisting of the Commonwealth and the Republic across the Huron Sea. 21-year-old Mira de Armas must escape the Commonwealth after a posse of vigilantes who called themselves the Reds started a revolution and persecuted her stepfather till his death. Disguised as a boy, she smuggles herself to the Republic. As she tries to escape from the Customs, she is caught by the most wanted man of the First World, the last drug lord who has taken out all the Republican cartels. The man offers to take her to safety in exchange for helping him to a bunker and treating his wound from the gunshot. Left with no choice, Mira joins forces with the man and learns that he is Dr. Warshon Qusbecq, a renowned physician by day. As their journey uncovers old memories and reveals the conspiracy behind the election of the First World Premier, their relationship evolves from suspicion to mutual dependence and affection. Through intellectual sparring and the exchange of personal stories, they reveal emotional vulnerabilities to each other that they hide from the rest of the world. Drawing on her own experiences in the Commonwealth, Mira sees the truth as she falls into the dark: that darkness exists exactly because the light is shining and enjoyed on the other side. I hope you'll enjoy this romantasy.

Dragon Codex: Knight of Chaos

Being the daughter of a famous dragon hunter has its perks and annoyances. One perk Everscent likes is that she has access to things other people normally wouldn't. For instance, getting noticed by the Dragon God Chaos and receiving his blessing, giving her access to the system. There's no way she would have drawn the attention of a shadow god if she wasn't related to her parents. A second perk is getting one on one sparring sessions and being able to afford a tutor to help her control her blessing. At least, if they can find one strong enough to handle the powerful darkness she wields. An annoying perk would be all the expectations that are put on her shoulders. "Your mother is a strict Headmistress for the number one academy in the world and your father is an anointed Hunter to a High Lord who won the national tournament. How powerful are you?" Only she is powerful, she just can't control it so she doesn't use it. Often, at least. Well, only when it's convenient. However, now that Everscent is twenty years of age, she can go with her older brother to the academy to follow her family legacy. To join the tournament and become a dragon hunter. Well, just as soon as she masters the rest of her blessing. However, one mistake makes her entire first year tense and unforgettable. No one likes a pissed off King breathing down their neck, Ever especially. Not when her brother is starting to act weird. Not when demons are sneaking into the academy, and not when dragons are attacking with the Dra'koni. Is it just her or does everything just have bad timing? *** Two daggers sit atop a white marble pillar, protected by a dome of glass. While the hilts and crossguards match, the blades are different. One is made of a pale, shiny metal, while the other is crafted from dark obsidian. At the center of their hilts are round opal stones. Everscent leans closer, her hands pressing against the glass as she gapes at the lovely weapons. "What are you doing?" The deep, quiet voice makes her yelp and she jumps away from the dragon-blessed item. Everscent spins around and finds a dark figure leaning against the doorframe leading to the room she's in. Is he here to steal it too? Has word already gotten out about it being transferred here already? That's so annoying… Ding [Profile blocked from viewing.] Everescent's eyebrows furrow as she averts her eyes from her system screen to her new guest. How strong does he have to be to do that? A low grade wouldn't have been able to get past the Honeycomb Barrier. Everscent narrows her eyes. If he truly is that strong, can he see her profile window? He isn't giving anything away that he does. "Wha–" Her voice cracks, and she cuts herself off to clear her throat. Dang it. "Me? What about you?" The guy doesn't respond at first, then he hums. He gazes up at something behind her and taps a finger against the fabric of his pants. Then he pushes himself off of the doorframe, and with his hands shoved into his pockets, steps closer. "I asked you first," he shrugs. She tilts her head, why does he seem so familiar? "I got curious." She glares at him. She takes him in from head to toe. "I wanted to see it." "Seeing doesn't require touching, now does it, little thief?" She can hear smugness in his tone. Ever's hands curl into fists. Who the hell is this guy? "It's your turn," she snaps, nodding at him. "Why are you here?" "Just," he pauses, and reaches up to scratch the top of his head and then sighs, "doing some old man a favor." Old man? Her eyebrows furrow. "What–" He cuts her off. Suddenly, he's inches away from her, his eyes squinting as he smiles wide from beneath his mask. His eyelashes are so long. "You talk too much." He murmurs softly.

Fostya. un monde magique sans système !

un type lambda fan de jeu de rôle (facilité scénaristique activé !) s'évanouie de fatigue en rentrant chez lui. il se réveille plus tard en constatant qu'il n'est plus dans la petite ruelle sombre menant à chez lui, qu'il ne sait pas comment il en ai arrivé là, et surtout, qu'il ne sait même pas vraiment quoi il est. reprenant un de ses surnom, Spyro, il se mettra en quête de découvrir cet univers étrange... sous la forme d'un limon ! une histoire où on voit, découvre et expérimente le monde à travers le héros. ce qui veut dire que la perception du monde peut être amenée à changer avec le temps... gros Update 11/07/2021 : Bonjour tout le monde, après une demi années d'absence, je suis enfin de retour aux affaires ! j'ai révisé un peu certains perso et corrigé quelques erreurs dans mon récit. je met un petit récap des quelques éléments importants qui ont été modifiés, sachant que cela spoilera un peu l'histoire. /// SPOILER /// description du groupe de Miria : j'avais malencontreusement oublié de signaler que Miria était une faréenne lors de sa première apparition. J'ai aussi mis en évidence que les murs avaient des matériaux anti-magique ! Miria ne parle plus du spar-sac lorsqu'elle détecte le MC. ça change rien, mais ça me semblait un peu plus logique. j'ai vu quelques "cristal d'identité". normalement, c'est "amulette d'identité". si jamais vous voyez encore cristal à certains endroits, n'hésitez pas à le signaler. lorsqu'Espérance participe aux examens de l'académie, elle laisse ses objets magiques à l'entrée. c'est con, mais je me suis rendu compte qu'après coup qu'avoir des objets magique lors d'un exam de magie, c'était pas trop logique en fait ! /// FIN /// A part ça, attendez vous à partir de maintenant à un chapitre par semaine environ. en tout cas, c'est l'objectif que je me fixe à partir d'aujourd'hui.

Love between the thorns of roses

Aurora Claramay. She was called ‘ The Villainess Rose ‘.The only daughter of a grand duke, well-protected by her three brothers. Some say that she’s the villainess in this story and some don’t.

' ' You didn't and yes, you're right. My attendant informed me about it. However, I do not seek any of those ladies as, how do you say it, not my preference. ' ' And what kind of lady would bewitch you, Your Grace? ' ' You. ' (swords clashing with one another ) ' I decline. As I do not seek marriages. ' ' I figured as much. I know the real reason for your rejection in this. My lady, you believed that love is just self-destruction. ' ( Aurora gritted her teeth while her hand gripped tightly on her sword ) ' I'm sure you heard the rumors that I'm a fox and for that, you can run, fight, defend or even attack but I'll still going to catch you, tame you, melt that icy heart of yours, cut down the roses vines around you and make you mine.
