Masked Moral

There were three rules to working for CEO Karsten Chevalier. First, bring his coffee brimming hot and black like a starless night. Second, park your attitude outside his office door—his broody demeanour has the room covered. Third, never say ‘No’ to whatever he demands. Not even when he asks you to become his fake girlfriend? (Synopsis) Arata's fiance dumped her through a text on the day of their engagement party. The reason? She is too curvy for his taste! He only entertained her because of her prestigious family name. "Do you think men want a fatso like you? You're nothing without your family's name!" A heartbroken Arata sets out on a journey to discover herself without revealing she is the daughter of a billionaire. She moves to another city, away from her beloved family. ‘How dare he insult me? I love my curves and I will show him.’ Arata is not a damsel; her parents have raised her strong, and now it is time to become independent. Her heart is ablaze with newfound goals. One: to see how people will treat her if she acts like an ordinary girl and hides her identity. Two: to bag a bigger fish than her stinking—joke of an ex-fiancé. She will prove that a man will genuinely love her irrespective of her curves and surname! Arata's new life begins as the secretary of Karsten Chevalier, the CEO of a multinational clothing brand who is renowned for his dashing personality and enigmatic persona. Not much is publicly known about this man. Doused in mystery, the man has his own goals and hidden agenda which will topple Arata's world. Unfortunately, Karsten's handsome face becomes a punching bag in Arata's mind because of his ruthlessly demanding personality and ego larger than Mount Everest. Arata eases her frustrations by going to meet Twisted Rider, the currently popular yet mysterious, masked internet sensation. Both tangle under the sheets and he becomes her safe space as she complains and opens up about her boss. "Will you act as my girlfriend?” Karsten's proposal to become a fake girlfriend for his family events surprised Arata! How will Arata juggle the piling demands of her boss, her own heartbreak and the seduction traps of the masked man she loves to watch in her spare time? Will sparks fly between Arata and her colder-than-Arctic ice boss? Or, will she continue to complain to the masked man that her boss probably has a small PP?

Under the blood moon, civilization's mask is torn apart. In the shadows of the alley, a wolf's gaze pierces through the crimson haze. On that full-moon night, Bo Yu's veins explode with silver light, and the howl of an ancient wolf echoes through the steel jungle. A mysterious girl named Tang Yao appears, her neck adorned with a talking bronze lock. She offers him an inhibitor to suppress his werewolf transformation, but at a cost: every touch syncs their memories. The mastermind antagonist sets up a series of deadly traps: cloned decoys at charity galas, genetic laboratories filled with lycanthropy viruses, and specially crafted wolf-slaying bullets made from Bo Yu's late father's ashes. When Tang Yao's true identity is revealed, shattering the sky with shocking secrets, Bo Yu tears off his last inhibitor. His wolf claws crush the moral heavens: "Tonight, let my beastly instincts judge your meticulously painted evils."

As his past unravels, he faces a world quick to condemn him as a monster—but is he truly the demon they claim, or something far more extraordinary? This is a story of survival, redemption, and the search for identity in a world where fear and prejudice reign.

Survive. A mission that all Blendbreeds must face every day. But in the Otherworld, a parallel dimension where monsters and masked deities intertwine with the fate of mortals, there are protected places—sanctuaries where one can learn to control their powers and grow in safety. One of these is the Lilies Park, the setting for the meeting of two younglings who play a role in a story woven by primordial hands. Marina, daughter of the goddess of intellect, grapples with the responsibility of guiding new arrivals, uncovering secrets that threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. On the other side stands Shirei, the enigmatic mortal with violet eyes, devoid of memory, emerging from a past shrouded in mystery. He carries with him an unsettling calm and fragments of a power too dangerous to wield. An ancient and malevolent force looms over the Lilies Park and the entire Otherworld. An army waits at the gates, ready to strike. The revelation of a single lie could change everything. Who are the Blendbreeds truly? And what price must they pay to survive in a world fractured by their very existence?

COVER ARTIST: LECHE FLAN GLOB (She's also new in her craft so we will be growing together ☆_☆). Do you have that innocent friend that everybody just can't help but love? Do you have that excellent friend that just inspires you to work better in life and in your professional career? Technically, most of them are really as you see them as: adorable, strong, lovable, kind, a free spirit. That isn't what this story is about. Yes, the female protagonist of this story is someone who climbed her way out of hell, but it doesn't mean that this is another revenge story. If only it was. *coughs* This is the story of Yama Shizuka, a girl who has many masked personas that she has used and still uses to manipulate people into thinking whatever she wishes for them to perceive her to be. You could say that her traumatizing childhood paved the way and created this morbid mentality, a need for survival that brought about a strength different from the fictional stories (maybe that's just me shamelessly advertising her story) you and I have read but still retaining a bit of fiction. I mean, if she truly existed, wouldn't it be scary? Heartbreaking, even... This story will be a mixture of her present acts and her remembering her past. There are also important characters that will have their fair share of spotlight when needed. For those who don't like psychological torment, darlings, don't read this. I will not be held accountable. But for those of you who like understanding the human mind and how it can be quite the interesting interaction between the past, present, and future self, do read. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE READING: PERSPECTIVE: the POV of the story changes frequently, depending on the needs of the arc. If you are not a fan of POV changing, maybe this ain't your cup of tea. STORY: There will be a lot of questions at the beginning because this is a long story. For you to understand it, you'd need to read it like 50 chapters in, then re-read it to make it more clear. I also realized I usually change my writing style. If you don't like inconsistencies, I guess Masked Persona ain't for you. STYLE: The main character, Shizuka, would have psychological episodes that is similar to the stream of consciousness. You've been warned. GENRE: This is highly fantasy. Has some future themes to. With how I've seen the story thus far, you really can't come to conclusions that quickly. Some explanations will only happen after so long and it's for a reason. I mean, when I made the timeline, that's what I felt. Some explanations took years before they were given out, sooooooo... P.S. I will occasionally change the cover of the novel depending on the chapter. P. P. S. This is not a cultivation novel, she is wearing a harajuku cardigan. P. P. P. S. I am writing this story for myself, so most of this is to entertain me. If it also entertains you, then sharing is caring.
