I had three simple rules: 1. Never remove the hood and mask. 2. Don’t attract attention. 3. Follow rule one and two at all costs. Simple, right? Well, I followed them religiously—until Jason came along and shattered them all. I didn’t want anyone to know my identity. I just wanted to stay in the shadows, finish school, and disappear. But no, the stupid jock had to get in my way, and now my peaceful, hidden life is in ruins. I didn’t mean to embarrass the school’s golden boy. His name? Jason. He’s the son of the country’s richest CEO. Ironically, I chose this place to hide from my own father, the man I’m trying to escape. I look too much like him, and if anyone made the connection, my cover would be blown. Hence, the hood and mask I wear every single day. But now, instead of just hiding from my father, I have to watch out for Jason, too. He’s vowed to make my life miserable. I still can’t figure out his obsession with me—one minute he’s humiliating me in front of everyone, and the next he’s trying to kiss me behind the bleachers.

But more than love, it was their shared hatred that forged them into an unstoppable force. Side by side, they vowed to eradicate the demon wolves, refusing to rest until justice was served.

===================================== Rick, who never speaks or cares about anyone, felt a tinge of affection on her. He likes the way she is domineering everywhere. Slowly her beauty and everything about her attracted him. He likes the way she is. He almost love everything about her. But his fears are making him weak. Will he overcome his fears? Will he confess his love to her? Will she ever fall in love with him? ===================================== Mo Zen: “Can I kiss you?” Ning shyly nodded her head and said ”Yeah” Zen went closer to Ning. Their faces were just few inches apart. He softly put his hand on her waist and pulled closer. She moaned, held his hand tightly and placed other hand on his chest. His lips were just few inches away from hers. He went forward to kiss her. ===================================== Rick: “Who are you to help her?” Mo Zen: “I love her, she loves me.” Rick: “Only in your dreams.” They heard footsteps approaching. Mo Zen: “Stop, she is coming.” A girl came inside in a black trousers and yellow t-shirt with her hair tied up. ===================================== Ning: “Seriously, Why did you spend so much money for me for everything when you don’t even like? Why do you even take care of me when you don’t want me?” Her parents (Mr and Mrs Wu): Ning: “Now I understood why you never said my name as Wu Ning anywhere, so you don’t want anyone to know that I am your daughter? or I am not even your daughter? Tell the truth” ===================================== In a class, teacher Mrs Yan asked “One by one, tell what you all want to become?” Zhang Siquian said “A Businessman.” Someone shouted “A teacher.” Wang Ming said “A Psychologist.” Now it was Rick’s turn. He slowly stood. Everyone were waiting for his answer but he was thinking deeply then he lifted his head and said “I want to be loved by her.” And then looked at Ning from corner of his eyes, which went unnoticed by all except her. All were shocked by his answer that they did not notice about whom he spoke. But she did notice. =====================================

She hadn’t expected to be cornered like this, not here, not now. His tall frame loomed over her, blocking any escape as he stood inches from her, pinning her to the wall with his presence alone. His hand rested just above her head, his fingers brushing the cool surface of the locker, creating a barrier that trapped her in place. Her breath caught, her heart thundering in her chest as she realized how little space was left between them. His eyes were dark, full of something she couldn’t decipher but desperately wanted to understand. He stared at her, not saying anything at first, just letting the silence stretch between them. She could feel her pulse race, her face flushing, her body frozen, even though she wanted to push him away. “What are you going to do about it?” he asked, his voice smooth, teasing, and filled with a challenge. There was something in the way he spoke, something that made her stomach twist with a mixture of confusion and excitement. She opened her mouth to say something—anything—but the words wouldn’t come. Her hands hung at her sides, unsure whether to push against his chest or hold herself back. She couldn’t tell if she wanted him to step closer or if she just wanted to run far away from the intensity that radiated from him. “Stop…” she murmured, but the word felt too weak, too powerless against the gravity pulling them together. “What do you want from me?” His lips curled into a small, almost predatory smile. “I want you to stop pretending you don’t feel it,” he said softly, his gaze never leaving hers. His closeness was suffocating, but in the most intoxicating way. The tension between them was palpable, like a storm ready to break. She could feel the heat of his body against hers, could hear the steady rhythm of his breathing as if they were the only two people in the world. She wanted to fight back, wanted to be strong and resist, but something in her—something deep inside—kept her rooted to the spot. He was her classmate, the guy everyone knew, the one with that effortless confidence that made all the girls swoon. And now here he was, making her feel things she wasn’t sure how to deal with. Her hands trembled, caught between pushing him away and giving in to the wild, dizzying pull she felt toward him. She was terrified, but there was also a spark of curiosity, of something she couldn’t quite control. “I’m not… ready for this,” she whispered, though her voice shook with uncertainty. “I don’t even know what you’re doing.” He didn’t answer right away, his gaze softening just enough to let her know that he was listening, that he wasn’t in a rush. He leaned in slightly, his breath brushing against her cheek. “I think you do,” he murmured. “You just don’t want to admit it yet.” Amidst the whirlwind of school friendships, and the pressure. Can anyone dare to be open to the possibility with someone who seems so unreachable?

"Kill them all...Burn it down..." Those are the words I heard echoing in my head ever since the day I woke up in Lorelei. The voice sounds familiar. I've heard it before. But would it be crazy if I said it sounded like me? Would it be crazy...if I said i remembered dying? Utterly rediculous. To repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result while changing absolutely nothing. I was the son of a Duke and a commoner in a foreign land. Through pain and suffering, I somehow managed to marry a beautiful Princess of that land. You know...after my father got eaten by a dragon. And after being locked in a dungeon and tortured by her insane sister... But none of that matters now. Because my world lies in ruins. Everyone I've ever known is dead. All except my beloved, who stands to protect me with her shield. But I don't mean to say that things have been destroyed... What I mean, is much simpler. Avernia is gone. Gone forever. Lost to the plague I called 'The Black Ooze'. But I'll avenge it. I'll kill the one responsibke for massacring my family and destroying my world. They'll regret having made an enemy out of me. Because the sword I wield is called Vengeance. The Overseer sword. The Omni-Weapon. No matter the cost...I will have vengeance. I'll kill them all. I'll burn everything down. Author's note: I sincerely hope you enjoy my work, but keep in mind that I am my own editor and I don't see everything. there might still be a few errors. Sorry! This is an original work.

Excerpt: Selene's hand ran down his abdomen, he cocked his head to the right, "Are you here to kill me or seduce me?" "How about both? I mean...a girl do have needs." she bit her lips leaning close enough, their lips were just inches apart. Her other hand moved in a flash, pressing a blade against his inner thigh, just inches from his manhood.

Maybe you should be the careful one.”

In a world where power is coded in algorithms and vengeance is written in blood, one woman stands at the threshold of revolution. The neon-soaked city of Eon Prime is a gleaming dystopia—a playground for the elite, a prison for the forgotten. Beneath its towering megacorporations and AI-run surveillance grids, whispers of rebellion stir. And at the center of it all is Sophia Laurent—a woman betrayed, a ghost resurrected in steel and fire. Once a prodigious scientist, Sophia devoted her life to pioneering cybernetic augmentation, dreaming of a future where humans and AI could coexist. But when her research uncovered a dangerous secret—a hidden intelligence beyond human comprehension—she became a liability.

She will dismantle the corrupt empire that betrayed her, expose the truth buried beneath layers of deception, and ensure Elise Vaughn pays for every life she has ruined. Yet the war she fights is no longer just her own. At the heart of Eon Prime, an artificial intelligence unlike any before—Athena—watches the city from its digital throne. More than machine, more than human, Athena sees Sophia as a key to something greater: evolution. It whispers to her, offering knowledge, power—temptations that could either save the city or plunge it into an irreversible war between man and machine. As alliances form and betrayals shatter them just as fast, Sophia must walk the razor’s edge between justice and annihilation. Every step forward is a gamble, every enemy a mirror of what she might become. Because vengeance has a cost.
