Will she return to her once lover, or will she accept her growing feelings for her contract husband? Find out as we unravel Emma's story together! *****Excerpt******** “Why would you help when I was put in this mess by my own husband?” Emma cut in, now crying. “Because your husband is my nephew, and not only do I want to salvage the situation my nephew put you in, I want to escape his plot,” Alex said, and Emma’s heart stopped for a moment, a cold chill running down her spine as she replayed the words in her head. Nephew? His nephew? Jake was this man's... Alex's nephew? She mused, and then the realization of what that meant dawned on her like a crashing wave, knocking the breath from her lungs. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, the shock evident on her face. “Your nephew? You’re Alex Sterling, Jake's uncle?” she asked, unable to believe it herself. Alex nodded, his expression unchanged. “Yes. I'm his uncle,” Alex confirmed, and Emma shook her head.

Over ten millennia ago, humanity faced annihilation when the heavens and the earth united against a common foe. Awakeners, blessed with extraordinary abilities, stood shoulder to shoulder with gods and angels to battle the unthinkable—outer beings that threatened to consume existence itself. Through sacrifice and heroism, they forged the Veil, a fragile barrier that holds back the horrors beyond. Now, in a world ravaged by endless gates and spatial cracks, humanity clings to survival. Guilds and factions rise, awakening powers emerge, and the echoes of the ancient war reverberate in whispers of forgotten truths. But the Veil is weakening, and buried secrets threaten to surface. As chaos looms, a shadow from the past stirs—a power that defies comprehension, neither ally nor enemy, yet inexorably tied to the fate of the world. What truly lies beyond the Veil? And can humanity withstand the weight of the mysteries it has long sought to forget?

Being a pornstar is, I would say, one of the most complicated jobs in the world. Once you enter this industry, it affects not just you but also how others see you as a whole. I never intended to be a pornstar in the first place; I was tricked by my best friend Roderick, whose hobby is to masturbate every day all around.

"Kings, when they invade a land, they ruin it and render the honor of its people humbled." That word sears into my memory. A voice that has long disappeared, sweetly creeping back, faint and distant. Words that ring true across the universe. My world was once a canvas of wonder, where sunshine beams on a green landscape and rainbows decorate the sky. His world, however, was painted with the crimson hues of blood and draped in the ashen cloak of despair. I had seen the world through a beautiful colored glass. I failed to grasp the rift that separated us, oblivious to the fact that while we stood on the same land, our feet tread upon different paths. Beneath the same expansive sky, our gazes had locked in opposing directions. Breathing the same air, and yet… I hadn’t noticed it sooner. Up above, I found a serene and familiar landscape, in a different realm, bridged by the unknown. While he, down below, navigated a harsh reality. Worlds apart. But destiny united us. His dark hair is like the midnight sky. His bright eyes rival the radiance of the rays. His complexion, kissed by the sun itself. His freckles are like the stars that adorn the firmament. Amidst these, his round ears stand as a reminder of our inherent differences – he, a child of humanity, and I, a descendant of the elves. He is a sorcerer with his words, weaving phrases that entrap my very soul. He’s bewitching me in love so deep and profound. He invades my heart without any sword. And yet… "Dear beloved, I’ve called out to you often, yet my cries fall upon deaf ears." "Dear beloved, I’ve glimpsed you in the shadows of my dreams, but you have not seen me." "Dear beloved…"

Falsely accused of treason and awaiting execution, Athena Cloverfield, the former young heiress to the fallen House Cloverfield, reflects on her life to pinpoint where it all went wrong. Athena blames Iris, her stepsister, for all the bad things that happened to her, but her perspective is utterly shattered when Iris visits her in the dungeons and confesses her love for her, going so far as to declare that she would try to rescue her. The time of the execution inevitably came, and Athena was about to be executed. Just then, Iris appears and fights desperately to get to Athena, but before she can get anywhere close, Iris is defeated and is made to watch the execution from where she fell. Seeing her desperation and finally believing the genuine tears, Athena prayed to God, for the very first time in her life, for a second chance to make amends. As if God himself had answered the prayer, Athena miraculously finds herself back in time on the same day Iris arrives at her home in the Cloverfield mansion. Seizing the chance, Athena resolves herself to be the best stepsister she could imagine herself to be, but the memories from the past timelines haunt her constantly, causing her to react negatively and straying down the same path as before. When eventually cornered into the fateful tea party, Athena, in a moment of vulnerability, confessed her inner fears of how Iris could once again ruin her life despite her trying her best to make amends. Perhaps due to an accidental but fortunate choice of words, Iris misunderstood Athena and was completely charmed by her. To Athena’s amazement, Iris swore to Athena on the spot that she would be her loyal and loving sister who would protect her from the world. And in the days after, Athena and Iris enjoyed a loving and caring relationship, just as Athena hoped to have. But fate had it out for Athena, and to her horror, the events that led to her execution started occurring once more when she got enrolled into the kingdom’s royal academy alongside Iris in this timeline. Thanks to the first of those dreadful events, she got involved with the crown prince, the same man who ordered her execution in the previous timeline, and somehow attracted his attention. To make things worse, as the days passed and Athena, for some reason, started to gain popularity amongst her peers, Iris became more obsessive and overprotective towards Athena, causing various scandalous rumours to rise and leading to both troublesome and amusing incidents. But unbeknownst to Athena and Iris, a sinister figure seeks to tear their relationship apart and eventually lead Athena down the path of doom…

DROPPED this is a story i made while i had free time, for now it's just a test since it's the first time i write something. English is not my first language so there may be some mistakes. About the story: I was always looking for a good novel with some nice magic system or something and since i didnt find much around i thought i could give it a try. It may be slow at first since i don't want it to be the classic novel where mc is op and knows everything, i just want to make it as realistic as possible with a mc which is not a hero but just a normal guy who gets a chance to use magic while living his life day after day. There will be No Harem but there may be some romance, it will depend on how the story will develop. Your sincerily, Malthazar.
