Brightest Lantern

To Jared, the sky is the ultimate goal—a place where all his aspirations and dreams lie. He doesn't fully understand why he feels so drawn to cruising the skies among the stars. All he knows is that it's where his passion burns brightest, where his soul truly belongs. However, living the life of his dreams is far from easy. He will be tested by temptation, by love, and by illusion, as if the universe itself wants to see how much he truly desires it.

In a world where the apocalypse came not as one disaster but many, Max Peterson delivers newspapers through the broken streets of New Harbor. He's nobody special - just a courier with bad timing and a hopeless crush on the city's brightest superhero, Lumina. But when Max accidentally stands between a villain and his target, something extraordinary happens. The stories people tell about his bravery - exaggerated with each retelling - begin to change him. Max discovers he can physically manifest the abilities that others believe he possesses. As rumors spread, so does his power. Now Max leads a double life: unremarkable courier by day, legendary hero by night. With each new rumor, his abilities shift in unexpected ways - both blessing and curse as he stumbles through his new reality with more heart than skill. Only one thing remains constant: no matter how many times he's knocked down, Max always gets back up. THE POWER OF RUMOR is a heart-warming superhero comedy about perception, courage, and finding strength in the stories we tell about each other - even when those stories aren't entirely true.

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Return to The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: On a field trip, Susan Piper takes her class to The Wellington Mansion and tells them how it was haunted before she got rid of the ghosts a decade ago on Halloween with her friends' help.

The next day, on Halloween, six of Susan's students enter the mansion, bring the ghosts and monsters back, and get scared out of their wits. Jack, the jack-o-lantern who knew their teacher, protects them with help from Alvin, the ghost puppy, and tries to convince Victoria to read the same spell Susan read when she was in the mansion to get rid of the ghosts.

Earth is under siege. The Devils of the Red Moon, a ruthless organization, seek to enslave humanity, crushing all who resist. Hope was nearly lost—until a group of elite warriors, the Angels of the Burning Sun, rose to stand against them. Among these warriors was Suzan, one of the fiercest to ever battle the devils. But when her husband, Lucas, fell in combat, his dying wish forced her to leave the organization. Even though she stepped away from the battlefield, she never abandoned the fight. In the shadows, she raised their son, Zack Everest, to be the devils’ ultimate demise. Now, Zack has joined the Angels of the Burning Sun, prepared to carve his path through the darkness. But the deeper he steps into this war, the more he realizes—strength alone isn’t enough. Hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, alliances are never certain, and even the brightest flames can be extinguished. In a world where trust is fragile and power comes at a cost, the battle against the devils may not be the only fight Zack has to face.

Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations. When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations. During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation. During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis.

Because of this, you defied the heavens and successfully changed your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

“Kuha!” I gasped and backed away, plunging out my lance out of ‘Amaranth’s’ chest. Blood seeped out of my mouth in quite literally deathly amounts. But I did not waver, I might be close to dying, my body is collapsing, but my will isn’t. “Major… no, Kiera.” I spoke, although barely. “Always remember; there are no victors in war, only survivors with scars.” My knees buckled, and I fell to one. “Also, write it on my tombstone: …” I struggled and stood back up again. Coughing up blood, I glared unto the now heavily injured Omega class with hate so pure, passion instilled, and commitment to burn. “… on the day of December 31st, year 2060, Harbinger of Humanity’s Ordinance, died with badassery, slaying a god.” For a good 5 seconds, I was met with silence before I received an answer. “…Alright. I will make sure. Now go and kick its ass.” A deep sigh resounded in my ears. I smirked, for one final attack, I let my Exsia run rampant and uncontrolled. Amaranth glared at me with contempt as it also began to prepare its final attack. “Arrogant human, I admit that you posses sufficient might to harm me. But you fall short from killing me, feel the wrath of heaven, be torn asunder repeatedly again!” A giant sword of pure crimson energy appeared behind it as I felt the Exsia fluctuations from it. Again, white flames burst out from my frame, burning to its brightest state. “A star is most brilliant before its death, heaven may fall, but I stand tall: BERNSTEIN!!!” I shouted, as I lunged forward unto the devastating attack in front of me, capable of leveling entire countries, but my attack did not waver and a bright white light engulfed my vision, taking me into its embrace. Then I heard a gentle whispering voice. [What would you wish for if you could live your life again?]

Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators series will continue in this Novel. Time is at the brink of running out for Kai to find a safe place to hide Victoria from the Vampire Covenant as other threats begin to rise. Vampires from other dimensional worlds begin to lurk on Earth as they await the go-ahead to kill Victoria. Worry strikes Kai's mind and heart because he doesn't know if she'll get her votes, but even if she does, it's inevitable that vampires from every species will strike to kill his mate. With time slipping away, he and his friends also keep trying to search for Grandpa Vlad, the Collin Coven Headmaster because he needs his help to prepare for a rumored Vampiric World War Three to transpire. Not to mention, it's time they all faced their biggest rivals who want to steal Victoria and Kai's sister-in-law Zoey to make their Coven the strongest. Can Kai take on these threats from other Alpha vampires that either want his mate for themselves or wish to kill her? Will Kai be able to transform Victoria into her true form as a vampiress or will her fate to live be demised too soon? While Kai and his friends are doing what it takes to ensure his pregnant mate survives long enough to turn her on the Brightest Blue Moon, Victoria still struggles to keep her time-gap gift under control. As the Brightest Blue Moon nears, her psychic time-gap gift to mentally travel to the past keeps getting stronger. At the same time, she's trying to prepare herself for motherhood to care for her immortal babies. Nothing gets any easier when she has countless maniac vampires and their Alphas trying to kill her. In her futile attempt to keep herself and her unborn vamp babies protected against these intelligent vampires, she learns quickly that it's nearly impossible. As usual, she fights for her survival. At the same time, she's drawn closer to Kai because of the blue moon, but a part of her heart is still snared by her first lover. Between their ups and downs as a fated couple, they always find a way to balance each other. The first novel called: "Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators" is still under editing and needs to be rewritten to fix some flaws I made with the FL, but it is completed. "DO NOT" let those flaws reflect on this novel because it will take time to fix them. This is my first time writing a series like this, so it's been a learning experience for me with writing a Fl. The story isn't all romance. This storyline runs deeper than that, and the vampires aren't weak. Also, it's only labeled as historical because the FL can mentally travel to past events in ancient times. This second Novel will be dark, gory, murderous, bloody, and steamy hot like the first one. You've been warned. Further warnings will be added as needed in certain chapters. Recaps will be added to grasp certain events and the vampires' way of life. Overall, the story will take a whole new direction, so you can read it as a standalone if you don't wish to read it the first novel. I will leave reference chapters from the first novel for you to read if you want to glance at it. Enjoy the action and suspense with these bloodthirsty vampires and vampiresses.

Schelvia City: BURRIED TECHNOLOGIES IN CENTURIES BLOOM In the year 2026—or so the world believes—Schelvia City stands as a utopia for the brightest young minds, a place where students train to become the future’s elite. Governed by strict academic rankings and the Golden Children, life in the city seems orderly—until the shadows of its past and the threats from within begin to unravel its fragile peace. But the world is living a lie. The true year is 2126, and an entire century has been erased from history. The Erased Centuries, a time when technology reached its peak, were deliberately wiped from memory. No records, no remnants—only whispers of a lost era where power was boundless and knowledge dangerous. The world was reset, the calendar restarted, but some remnants of that forgotten age still exist in secret. Among them are the enigmatic Eyes of Seven—a hidden force that the highest elites believe is the key to sustaining the balance of this new world. Their existence has been obscured, their purpose unknown, but their influence lingers in the shadows, shaping events far beyond what ordinary people can perceive. Among those unknowingly entangled in this web of secrets is Yoshi Manami, the 8th-ranked Golden Child. Wielding a mysterious Vitreous that manifests as the legendary Alter Excalibur, Yoshi is both feared and admired, earning the title "Artoria’s Shadow." But beneath his cold exterior lies a tangled past—his former best friend, Kaito Yamazaki, now linked to the underground rebellion of the Hancer movement; his childhood friend, Mieruko Miraileze, whose obsession hides unsettling truths; and an unknown sister, raised in secrecy. As Schelvia City faces escalating dangers, the long-dormant ZESTROPEDIAN units descend from the skies, machines that once promised Earth’s salvation but instead became its executioners. Meanwhile, the Bunker faction corrupts robots from within, and war threatens to consume the city. But all of these conflicts may be mere echoes of something far greater. The Eyes of Seven, erased along with the lost century, are awakening. The number 11, a symbol that no longer exists, may hold the answers. And Yoshi—whether by fate or design—is at the heart of it all. With war brewing both inside and outside the city, Yoshi must confront his past, unravel the secrets hidden in the Erased Centuries, and decide where his loyalties lie. Will he protect the city that shaped him, or embrace the chaos that threatens to consume it? 'All cycle in this world shall has it's own ends'
