Earnest Hemmingway

“In the end, fate and timing do not happen, out of coincidence. They are products of earnest, simple choices, that make up miraculous moments. Being resolute, making decisions without hesitation… that is what makes timing. He wanted her more than I did. And I should have been more courageous. It was not the traffic light’s fault. It was not timing. It was my hesitations.” – Jung Hwan, reply 1988 New Beginnings in Seoul follows Alex Daniels, an Indian student and K-drama enthusiast, as he embarks on a journey to Seoul National University. Enchanted by the city's vibrancy, Alex hopes for a fresh start away from the judgmental environment of his home in Chennai. However, life in Korea brings its own complexities, far from the idealized world of his favorite dramas. On his first day, Alex meets Ji-hoon, a charismatic and compassionate student volunteer who helps him navigate the sprawling campus. Ji-hoon's warmth and charm immediately draw Alex in, sparking a connection that promises friendship and perhaps more. They exchange numbers and plan a Friday night outing for Korean BBQ and soju, setting the stage for an evolving relationship. But Ji-hoon’s seemingly perfect exterior masks a deeper, hidden turmoil, leaving Alex to wonder if there’s more to Ji-hoon than meets the eye. Alex also befriends Yuna, a spirited Korean student with her own struggles. As Yuna becomes a close ally, she offers Alex a window into the nuances of Korean culture and the shared challenges of acceptance in a society that mirrors the stigmas he faced back home. Together, they navigate the unspoken rules of relationships, both platonic and romantic, in a society that is accepting on the surface but deeply complex beneath. As Alex’s new life unfolds, he finds himself grappling with the scars of his past, the cautious thrill of a new connection, and the unraveling secrets that Ji-hoon and Yuna bring into his world. The city he once saw as a dreamland becomes the backdrop for an emotional journey of growth, trust, and self-discovery. New Beginnings in Seoul is a story about love, resilience, and the courage to uncover the truths hidden behind carefully curated facades. It’s a tale that reveals how real life, though far from the perfection of a K-drama, can still hold its own kind of magic.

Note: (Disclaimer at end of abstract). Synopsis: "In the heart of the boundless Phantom Continent, rests a cursed region smack in the centre of all that is known, aptly named as the Central Region. A domain shrouded in perpetual gloom, despair clings to every shadow and its sole purpose seems to be crushing the souls and dreams of the unfortunate souls that take shelter upon its land. Life is a fight for Existence and Reality however cruel, is alas never what it seems to be. Whispers of precious ore, ancient artefacts and ruins of ancient civilisations only lead to ruin - factions descend to lay claim to these scraps like vultures, blades quench the thirst of the land with rivers of fire, which mirror the stars from afar that flicker in isolation with an insatiable desire. Amongst the chaotic lands, a tale starts. An adventure, a mistake, a ghost, a foreigner, a world, many worlds, alliances, betrayals, intertwined fates and dangers fraught at every corner. A protagonist that isekai's into a still living being in an earnest bid to grow stronger and a pitiful soul that longs for what was once share a mysterious bond. Destiny is calling, the line between the living and dead is blurred, the powerful shape Reality, however amongst this rollercoaster of events, the shadows vie for their own nefarious purposes, for the shadows are always watching. As if life wasn't a misery as it were, it hit Zuck Borris with the roll of a die - the odds were never in his favour. Firstly, a stranger gave him the old boot - throwing his soul out to the dogs in the streets. Then a mysterious voice started talking to him. Yet it didn't seem to be doing him any favours in reclaiming his flesh and bones. Meanwhile that backstabbing fiend didn't even notice his existence and already seemed to be bringing trouble to his body. Roland, however, was as calm as the ocean bed. Some ignorant fools seemed to be scheming against him. Ever since he answered that damn call, his life seemed to become more troublesome. However, perhaps there was some part of him that smirked at this opportunity, to gain control over his life with enough strength to face all that may come his way. Who protects this Reality, that Reality and everything in between? Can a mortal man spit upon the immortal obstacle that tightens its grasp to crush all beneath it? Can the rivers burn what they touch as the worlds collide and the sun is all but lost? Are answers always to be sought? Turn that chapter if you so dare..." Disclaimers: There will be content in this webnovel that covers potential sensitive areas to some, including - violence (fighting), abusive language (swearing / cussing), concepts of self-harm (some bullied characters may consider self-harm), divide in society (different factions/ power levels) & other similar concepts that usually apply to any cultivation/ sci-fi webnovel. Also, the start is more world-building focused, so do saddle in your seatbelts and work through the first 20 chapters to get a feel of what we have in store. :)

In the year 2139, the world changed. Fundamentally and irrevocably. Everything happened too quickly. The sky cracked like an egg and armored dinosaur-like monsters lurched out of the fissure. The split, though small at first, quickly widened. Within a few short hours, these beasts had overrun the world. Countries, even those who had been enemies for centuries, sounded a global alarm. Political differences were cast aside as humans scrambled to find a solution—any solution—to what became known as the Great Disaster 1.0. Human experimentations began, first in reluctance, then in earnest. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, failure rates remained high. Desperate for results, global authorities started turning a blind eye to how experimental subjects were sourced. Countless victims were kidnapped and trafficked to state-run laboratories. Shi Tian was but one of them. But unlike those who died nameless, in pain, and unrecognizable, he had the fortune of surviving after being injected with humanity’s last hope—an integrated chip. Except… the chip remained dormant. It seemed that certain circumstances must be met before the chip could be activated. What those circumstances were, even the scientists in charge could not answer.

‘’YOUR MAJESTY, HER MAJESTY SLAPPED HER EXCELLENCY THE ARCHDUCHESS!’’ ‘’Get all the imperial doctors and physicians in the empire. They must find a cure for her swollen hand!’’ ‘’YOUR MAJESTY, HER MAJESTY SPENDS TOO EXTRAVAGANTLY!’’ ‘’She is my wife and my empress. It is my wealth and fortune that she spends!’’ ‘’YOUR MAJESTY….!’’ ‘’YOUR MAJESTY…..!’’ ‘’YOUR MAJESTY, HER MAJESTY…..!’’ The emperor, getting tired and annoyed of the numerous complaints around his beloved empress roared at the nobles. ‘’LEAVE MY BELOVED WIFE ALONE! SHE IS THE EMPRESS AND CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS!’’ His chest heaved in anger Witnessing the emperor’s rage towards their actions, all the opposing nobles kept quiet until an opportunity arrived at their doorstep. ‘’Y-Your majesty, the empress punished the queen for coming to the empress palace.’’ One of them got the courage to speak up. This time, the nobles saw the emperor not speaking immediately and gloated about the empress’s misfortune in their hearts. In the end, the queen is more favored than the empress. This was they thought until…. ‘’Add more to the queen’s punishments. How dare she go to the empress’s palace without permission!!’’ Surprisingly, the emperor was angrier than before! ***** Rose Kingston transmigrated into a novel as a side character, an empress with the same name as hers, who will be replaced by the emperor’s true love, the female lead. The emperor, as the male lead and she, as a side character, were not meant to be. ‘So I will soon get deposed.’ Rose came to that thought, and then shrugged her shoulders like nothing was wrong with her tragic circumstances. She didn’t even bother in getting away from the main story of the novel or involving herself in the relationship of the main characters. Having being the empress of the entertainment industry, she was tired of the schemes, workloads, fake smiles, fake relationships and all of it. She did not have any true friend and dedicated her measly free time in reading novels from a therapeutic suggestion. As though the heavens heard her earnest wish of leaving such life, she suddenly became an empress and decided to be lazy. She was wealthy without working and it was not her money, so….she enjoyed her new life to the fullest! But…. There was one thing Rose did not expect, and that is, attracting the emperor’s attention. ‘’Your majesty, please move to the queen’s palace as this empress will never serve you.’’ ‘’You are my empress, my wife and the mother of my future children. If I don’t come to you, then who do I go to, my lazy empress?’’ Rose did not foresee the emperor turning to a big wolf, wagging his furry tail at her every command. What will she do? Continue staying in the empire with the main characters, running away from the main plot…. or does fate have something else in store for her unexpected life as the empress character in a novel? ***** Read more to find out the Unpredictable life of Rose Kingston!

WhatsApp info:+12 723 328 343 Email info: Adware recovery specialist@ auctioneer. net Website info: h t t p s : // adware recovery specialist . expert Growing up as a poor girl raised by a single mother, I learned early on about the value of hard work and resilience. My mother, despite her limited resources, made immense sacrifices to ensure that I had the opportunity to go to school. She worked tirelessly to provide for me, always prioritizing my education and future over her comfort. Her dedication and love were the driving forces behind my ambitions, and I am profoundly grateful for the sacrifices she made. With her unwavering support, I was able to excel in my studies, graduate, and eventually build a successful career. Through sheer determination and hard work, I achieved a level of success and financial stability that I once thought was out of reach. However, despite the accomplishments and the stability I had built, life took a sharp and painful turn when I fell victim to an online romance scam. The scammer, presenting himself as a charming and attentive partner, wove a web of deceit that I, in my earnest desire for love, failed to see through. The illusion he created was so convincing that I poured my heart and trust into it. I believed in the relationship with every fiber of my being, only to be met with the harsh reality of betrayal. The scam started subtly, with the scammer gaining my trust through sweet words and seemingly genuine affection. As time went on, the requests for financial help began. At first, they seemed reasonable and justified. However, as the amounts requested grew larger, I found myself borrowing money to meet these demands. The total loss amounted to an astonishing 120,000 GBP. Half of that sum was borrowed, a testament to how deeply I had invested in this illusion of love. The realization of my financial loss was not only devastating but also deeply humiliating. I felt betrayed, both by the scammer and by my judgment. Feeling overwhelmed by the situation, I confided in my older sister. She had always been a pillar of strength and wisdom for me. After hearing my story, she wasted no time in offering practical advice. She introduced me to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, a service specializing in recovering funds lost to online scams. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, hoping for a miracle. To my astonishment, the team at ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST acted with remarkable efficiency. Within just three days, they were able to recover the full amount of the money I had lost. They not only retrieved the funds but also provided detailed information about the scammer, including his methods and identity. The swift action and successful recovery brought a sense of relief and vindication that I had not thought possible. Despite the recovery of my funds, the emotional scars of the scam remained. Telegram info: @adwarerecoveryspecialist1 The experience was a harsh reminder of vulnerability and trust. However, I chose to forgive the scammer, recognizing that holding onto anger and resentment would only continue to hurt me. I decided to leave the judgment of his actions to a higher power, trusting that justice would be served in its own time and way. This entire ordeal taught me valuable lessons about resilience, trust, and the importance of vigilance. While the experience was harrowing, it also reaffirmed the strength of my support network, especially my sister’s timely intervention.

After a particularly humiliating defeat in a duel, Thalion is consumed by despair. One fateful night, as he wanders through the forest, he encounters a dying elder dragon.

But after his persistent effort, she finally conceded and just when they were about to hit-it off again... he got transmigrated. And his golden finger requested a single thing in turn for sending him back... destruction of the world.

Among the gods of the heavens, there was a famous laughing stock known throughout the three realms. Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, there was an ancient country within the Central Plains called Xian Le nation. The ancient nation of Xian Le had vast territory, abundant resources and content citizens. The country had four treasures: delicate beauties aplenty, thriving arts & literature, treasures of gold and jewels and last but not least, their renown Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince....you could say.... was a strange man. The Emperor and Empress considered him to be the apple of their eyes. They doted on him immensely and would often proudly proclaim: “In the future, my son will surely become a wise monarch, leaving a reputable impression for generations to come .” Yet, in the regards of what came with royalty, of riches, power and honor, the Crown Prince had no interest. What he was interested in, quoting the very words he often said to himself, was—— “I want to save the common folks!” The young prince cultivated in earnest. During this time, two short stories became widely circulated. . The first story occurred when he was seventeen years old. That year, the nation of Xian Le held a magnificent Offering to the Gods parade. Although this tradition had already been abandoned for numerous centuries, through surviving ancient texts and verbal stories, one could imagine the grandeur of the event.. Offering to the Gods day, Martial God Main Street. Both sides of the Main Street were overflowing with a sea of people. The aristocrats were seated on top of high buildings as they exchanged friendly chatter; while the imperial guards cleared the way with their impressive armours clinking. Young girls danced gracefully as their snow-white hands scattered flower petals like rain, filling the sky as far as the eye could see. It made people question whether the dancing maidens were more beautiful or the flowers themselves. Melodious notes sounded from within golden carriages and floated throughout the whole Imperial City. Behind honorable guards, sixteen white horses with golden bridles walked side-by-side as they pulled forward a magnificent platform. Located on top of the tall, magnificent platform was the focus of everyone’s attention, there stood the martial artist to perform a show to please the Gods. During the festive heavenly parade, the martial artist would adorn a golden mask, don splendid garments and wield a sword in one hand. He would perform the role of the first military deity in a millennium to have subdued demonic beasts——Martial God Heavenly Emperor Jun Wu. Being selected as the martial artist to perform such a show could be considered equivalent as to receiving the utmost honour, and thus the selection criteria was extremely strict. This year, the one who was chosen was none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The entire nation was convinced that he would surely be able to become the most marvellous martial artist to perform such a performance since the beginning of time. However, on that day, something unexpected occurred. During that time, the martial god on the magnificent stage was just about to land a killing blow on a demon. This was the most exciting scene, and thus the people on both sides of the Main Street were fired up with passion. The people on the city walls were also becoming more rowdy as they started outdoing each other in sticking their heads out to see, both struggling and shoving. Right at this moment, a young child fell from the top of the city gate tower. DISCLAIMER: This story is not mine, I did not wrote or own this, I really just want to share it to everybody.

Cake artist by day, villain by night! Avery West is a woman on a mission to take down the conglomerate run by the man that killed her father. The problem? She might be in love with Mercury, the dashing hero trying to stop her. Juggling her feelings and her goal is no cakewalk but she is determined that her revenge will be sweet! Avery never thought her massive crush on the hero trying to stop her would go anywhere. When the opportunity to date him in her secret identity falls into her lap she can't say no! Read on to find out if their love can overcome the odds! === Mercury managed to free himself and began fighting her in earnest. Avery had to do her best to fend him off while not dropping the precious cargo she was carrying under one arm. "What are you stealing this time?" he asked as he tried to grab it. He was fast but she was faster thanks to the suit's capabilities. "Now why would I go and tell you something like that? I'm not one of those obnoxious supervillains who goes rambling about their plans left and right." "Unfortunately. Those guys are easier to deal with. You're the most difficult villain I deal with, you know that?" Avery grinned at him. That was quite a compliment. It meant he thought she was clever. It wasn't an inaccurate assessment either; most of the time when they went up against each other she managed to get away with whatever she was stealing. On the rare occasions she didn't she still made her escape. He hadn't successfully caught her and turned her over to the police once. "I'm flattered! As fun as this has been, I really do need to get going now. See you next week since you always seem to know how to find me," she said before pushing a button on her suit that would shoot a cloud of black pepper into his face. Mercury momentarily lost his bearings because he had to stop to sneeze and cursed about it getting in his eyes. She felt sorry for him but she didn't have time to stand around and chat today. The contents of the box needed to be delivered urgently. "Be sure to rinse your eyes out with clean water!" Avery called over her shoulder as she broke through a window and jumped through it. *Cover art by polkadottedscrunchie*

"I'd kill him if it were the last thing I ever did. No matter who's in my way. The Hero or the Queen, I'd get rid of them, no matter how many times it takes." Up until now I had always thought I was normal, a little on the weirder side but at least normal enough. Then I died and well... I didn't. Dragged off by the Hero and her party to slay the Demon Lord I met my end to the Monster along the border forest only to wake up before it all began. I'm clearly not the Hero Lara with her dazzling smile. I'm not the captain of the Knights Ronalt. I'm not a Master Wizard or a Swordsman, that would be Ardent and Earnest. Nor am I the surprisingly violent priestess Marley. And though she was dragged along as well, I'm not the beautiful thief Taylor. No, my jobs outnumber theirs tenfold for I am... their cook, their driver, the baggage carrier, blacksmith, tailor, potions maker, bird tender and so on and so forth. In other words I was the extra taken from my small town home. No matter what though, no matter how many tries it takes, I will make it back home or die trying, literally.

It's about a female who led a double life and had earnest repercussions... And on more than two occasions, she came very near to death.

*Excerpt* “I’m not going anywhere.” Sky said cutting him off as she gave him a cold, rage-filled smile. The male also smiled back; his grey eyes filled with delight. “Then I challenge you.” He said. Sky pulled her fans from their belt. “Fine. Dain Caellustria is the witness. I’ll get him and meet you at-” “Why go anywhere?” The male asked conversationally as Sky felt air moving above her head. She jumped to her right as a blade of air slammed into the ground. She dodged again as a yellow gray bolt of air flew at her. Left, right, back, down, over, she moved. She knew she couldn’t keep this up though. Unfurling her fans, she ran at him, dodging as she closed the distance. A big, blue-gray cloud appeared in her path and seeing it, Sky hesitated a second too long. One of the smaller darts bit into her left side. She was too angry to feel it, even though it tore deep into her flesh. The cloud started moving for her. As quickly as she could, she spoke the words for the magic shield spell. It exploded into being around her just in time. The cloud hit it and a violent wave of magical energy ricocheted back at the male. He doubled over as it slammed him into the wall. This was her chance! Sky surged forward breaking her shield spell and sliced at him with her fans. He grinned and spun, a sword flashing into existence in his hand. Hastily, Sky twisted to the side. The male’s thrust went past her. He swung sideways at her. Sky blocked with her right fan while she struck for his neck with her left. She felt a pop in her right wrist as the male jerked back out of her reach. Spinning forward with her fan blades out, Sky pressed him back. She kept up a furious string of attacks but everyone she made he countered at the last second. Then she realized it. He was toying with her. Seeing the expression on her face change, the male smiled and began attacking in earnest. It was all Sky could do to block. As she spun to the left to avoid his sword, a dagger that she hadn’t seen traced fire down her back as it cut her deeply. Sky staggered panting as she tried to catch her breath. “You know, you’re pretty good.” The male jeered. Sky looked at him. He was smiling again but it didn’t reach his eyes. They looked like death. “You’re just no match for me...

Who could resist the temptation of a devil? An earnest unrequited obsession comes to fruition, when one day broken by reality, Shinji Keika returns to his hometown. It hurt, after seeing that everyone had moved on; yet, why is she… ---- AU Note: The story above will be a rather interesting(at least for me) and twisted take on the Yandere genre. Obsession in most stories isn’t explored psychologically, which for me is a huge shame!

The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His pale grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burnt brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere, when thought runs gracefully free of the trammels of precision.
