Articos Crisol, um adolescente de 16 anos, é o tipo de cara que chama atenção, mas não pela aparência. Seu cabelo e olhos pretos, que às vezes cobrem seu rosto, lembram o visual de protagonistas de animes, mas Articos é bem mais do que isso. Energético, expressivo e com um Q de mistério, ele se destaca tanto nas notas quanto na aptidão física. Embora tenha uma vida de estudante aparentemente comum, com amigos como Nolan, Christopher e Richard, há algo peculiar nele: seus pais morreram há dois anos, e, estranhamente, isso nunca afetou seu comportamento. Ele mora sozinho no antigo apartamento de seus pais, distante da escola, mas trabalha em uma cafeteria nas proximidades, um lugar que esconde muito mais do que ele imagina. Apesar de sua juventude, Articos possui um segredo que ninguém sabe: ele é mais inteligente do que qualquer pessoa poderia imaginar, uma habilidade forjada pela rigidez dos pais no passado, que o impulsionou a aprender tudo o que podia, só para encontrar algum tipo de paz. Entre o cotidiano de jogos, música e seu amor pelo frio, Articos se vê diante de desafios inesperados, mistérios envolvendo sua inteligência e quem sabe até, o início de um romance. A Cup of Secrets é uma história de vida cotidiana repleta de ação, diversão e momentos românticos, onde Articos terá que navegar por uma trama que pode mudar sua vida para sempre.

* * * The Synopsis will be in the Glossary* * * * * * This is my first novel and I don’t expect it to be good since I’m just starting out and doing this as a practice test. So please read my story and critique it. I want to know what I did or am doing wrong and how to improve or what to learn from it. I am well aware that my story would never get close to a 9 since I’m new at this, but I’m at the very least aiming for a 7 or a 7.5 rating. I am more than willing to accept criticism, and I understand if I wrote something stupid, but please don’t give me an overly negative attitude about it. * * * – 「Authors Notes」 - I will do what I can to keep chapters around or over 1500 words per chapter. - Since I am new and have a job, I will do my best to hopefully complete at least one chapter within two or three weeks until I improve and can hopefully reduce that time. - As a new writer, I will definitely make a lot of mistakes, so I would definitely appreciate it if you could help point out if and when I make grammatical errors, contradictions, and retcon things. I will try to go back and fix my mistakes on my own, but I would appreciate it if you could spot me on them as well. - I plan on having a semi big cast of characters. I understand that multiple POVs can be annoying and ruin the story or pacing or both so I promise to do my best to focus solely on my big 3. - One thing I really liked about a popular anime I liked was how they included bits of information, such as abilities, unique equipment, enemies, locations, and other details about the world before and after the short commercial break so I plan on trying to have some short notes/information about the world at the bottom of some chapters. Though you can also find them in the bloodborne wiki or YouTube videos. * * * Thank you for choosing to read my novel, I hope it's something you look forward to reading * * *

Raven just wants to live a peaceful life is world that demands that she die for crime she didn't commit. Her mother was a notorious Assassin but they could never prove it until after she died on a job. Even then, they could only prove that she killed people not that any of her money was illegally obtained so it all went to Raven and her Father hated her for it. He had her mother blood in her veins. So much so that he had her locked away for the rest of her life.... or so he thought. Follow Raven as she embarks on her journey in a world that tries to swallow her whole at every turn and as she learns the truth about her Mother and about herself. There will be child abuse and general mistreatment present so be forwarned. As the story progresses the supernatural will have a part in this novel so if ghouls and ghosts aren't your thing then I recommend you keep schrolling. Also this is a work of FICTION. Any similarities to a person living or dead is completely coincidental.
