Luster

FADED EMOTIONS

He stood there silently, looking down at the wounds on his chest, but when he turned to stare at her, he had a smile on his face. She smiled in return when she saw the brilliant smile on his face, the same smile that had drawn her to him like a moth to the fire, even when her instincts screamed 'danger'. "It's finally come to an end," she thought. But her eyes widened immediately when she saw his body. Tears burst forth like a small stream as she ran to him. "No! Win!" She couldn't stop crying when she saw how he seemed to be on death's doorstep. "I'll take you to the hospital right now!" He shook his head when he heard her say those words. "No hospital. Right now, you are my hospital. I want to take in this beautiful sight that is you, nothing else should come first now, got it?" She nodded her head frantically like it'd bring him out of death's doorway. "Why?" She asked with a heavy heart. "I asked someone that question before, and I was left heartbroken some more seconds after that person gave me a reply," He said with a smile. He raised his hand to feel her face and a small smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. "I'm quite happy, my dear plum blossom, and sad at the same time. I'm happy because I didn't lose you this time, and sad because you might be all alone... because of my selfishness. This time, I changed my fate... " His hands dropped, and his eyes lost their luster immediately, but the smile never receded, they remained on his face. The smile on her face vanished without a trace immediately. "No, Win! Don't do this to me, don't do this to me, Win!" ...................................... His name was Winston, but everyone called him Win as an abb. He looked cool and gentle and easygoing, but only Melody knew that it was just a front. She would fight hard to uncover his deepest secrets, even at the cost of fallen in love, with him.

Arya's Mire

In a realm where the mystical Luna Pack revered Amaris Lun, a distinguished wolf of unmatched valor, an unexpected twist unfolds. Amaris, the epitome of lupine nobility, finds himself isekai-ed to a strange world, Earth. Yet, the question lingers – Was it an accident or a meticulously crafted conspiracy? In his new world, where the moon's luster pales compared to the moons of Luna, Amaris encounters a human girl who's as far from extraordinary as one can be. Arya Jenkin embodies simplicity, so deeply embedded in her being that if you searched her DNA, you'd surely find 'SIMPLE' etched in every strand. Yet, Fate has its own brand of humor, thrusting Arya into a whirlwind of unexpected twists. Their paths cross on the rollercoaster of life, as Amaris, the enigmatic wolf, and Arya, the embodiment of simplicity, begin to realize that their meeting was not a chance occurrence but rather a predestined event unraveling a destiny that defied the boundaries of their worlds, transcending species and realms which was etched among the stars themselves. EXCERPT: Arya couldn't hide her astonishment and stammered, "W..why are you suddenly like...this?" Amaris, with his captivating wolfish charm, toyed with her locks while holding her captive between his muscular arms. "What do you mean, Arya?" Her voice quivered as she tried to express the change she saw in him. "You are so..." "Different?" He finished her sentence, his mesmerizing gaze locked on hers. A sigh escaped his lips as he let his arms fall from the wall, encircling her waist to draw her nearer. Gazing into the eyes he had fallen in love with from day one, he leaned in and planted a searing kiss on her lips, leaving her breathless. "I've always been like this. You were just too silly to see it," he confessed, his eyes never leaving her face. "I'm a possessive wolf, Arya, and I really don't like seeing you with anyone else. Are we clear?" His words hung in the air, his actions speaking louder than any response. Arya's playful smile emerged as she teased, "Possessive wolf, huh? Does this mean you'll be howling at the moon when I'm not around?" Amaris chuckled, his voice a velvet purr. "Only if you promise to be my moon, my love." Follow Arya as her seemingly simple life takes an exhilarating turn following the arrival of Amaris. Will Amaris ever find his way back to the mystical realm of Luna? And who, in the name of the moon, is this heavily adorned figure claiming to be Amaris's betrothed? Unravel the threads of destiny and love in this enchanting reverse isekai tale where the wolf is in human form but the passion is still wild, and the stars themselves have a story to tell. ********************* You can try my other novel too if you like: *Penny: Who Are You?

Isekai Maniac: Villain in Another World

What happens when a bully is given authority greater than kings? Or when a victim loses all that keeps them sane… Where one transmigrates, the other instills something deep within them. A testament to their new found conviction, from a history they won't soon forget. Transmigrated into another world, a land of fantasy, with swords and magic, castles and monsters, demons and heroes. In a land where the gifted prevail and the talentless are trampled upon, doomed to serve and become manipulated by higher powers.

Given a fresh start by a beautiful Goddess with her own agenda, follow the adventure as Leoghan, the used to be heir of a swordsmanship family; carves his path onto the world, in his endeavor to never. Ever. Become condemned as less than, again. … My pen holds my conviction, an edge that burrows deep into the depth of my page. Why am I like this? I’m still in synopsis mode. Be prepared for an edgy MC, the villain tag ain’t fo’ show. But will his edge be sharpened, or lose its luster? Consume my porridge of words to find out. Hi guys and gals, this is my first time writing a novel, that I kind of started on a whim. That being said I’ll start with uploads transpiring every other day that I'll fit between work and other things to maintain a certain weekly rate. But this novel was made because I wanted to explore a darker MC, one that doesn’t always get along with people, one that has his traumas and perhaps grows over time. Then again, I love villainous characters the most, so maybe he won’t be doing as much growing in the traditional sense… But as this is my first time, feel free to give me props for any grammatical mistakes, sentence structure, or even plot holes. Might not be able to fix them all, but I’ll try my root-tooting damndest! Oh and yes, there be lemons, do enjoy. Though the first few times may feel a little… Forced. Part of the reason I’m hesitant to delve deep in the poetry of romance.

Follow Fen and his experiences within this organization as he struggles to return to his old life. **** Author here! This is my first novel, so any comments and advice on how the writing could be improved would be greatly appreciated! I pride myself on improving over time, and I hope that you can see the quality improvement as you read; the earlier chapters lack the luster that my later writing does, though I do occasionally go back to edit what I can. Also, this is a slower-paced novel so I'd recommend reading through some of the earlier chapters with an open mind as our MC learns more about the world around him and grows after learning about the Empowered and energy control. As of September, because of how busy the week is, this story will be on hold until I can guarantee a minimum of three chapters a week. **** The art on the cover is not mine. If you wish for it to be taken down, please contact me
