Hiking

Erica Wiley, a 21-year-old procrastinator with a cynical streak, is stuck between avoiding life and facing it. When she impulsively offers to take her aunt’s miserable twins on a gap-year adventure, she has no plan—other than to be lazy. But when their simple hiking trip goes horribly wrong, the trio finds themselves lost in a strange village, caught up in bizarre encounters and a growing bond with Lee, a charming (and suspicious) merchant. What begins as an unplanned journey soon turns into a series of misadventures that push Erica to confront both her past and the possibility of caring about others. With dangerous beasts, questionable decisions, and awkward moments, Erica must decide if she’s ready to face the responsibilities—and feelings—she’s spent so long avoiding. A quirky adventure about finding yourself, even when you’re trying not to.

It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late? Warning: the photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!!!

Kaito "Kai" Haruto never imagined that a simple hike would change his life forever. One moment, he was exploring a hidden cave, and the next, he awoke in a world unlike anything he had ever seen—Gravara, a land of floating isles, towering forests, and creatures beyond imagination. But beneath its beauty lies a dangerous truth. Trapped in a region where gravity weighs thrice as much as Earth’s, Kai barely survives his first days. Rescued by a family of dwarven hunters, he learns to adapt, hunt, and fight—skills he never thought he would need. But Kai is not just a survivor; he is an explorer at heart. With nothing but his wits, a journal, and an insatiable curiosity, he embarks on a journey across Gravara, documenting its wildlife, uncovering forgotten histories, and searching for a way home. As he ventures through towering mountains, endless skies, and treacherous swamps, Kai discovers that Gravara is not just a world of wonder—it is a land hiding ancient secrets, a barrier that no one has crossed, and whispers of a past long erased. The deeper he travels, the more he begins to question: is going home truly what he desires? Or has he stumbled upon a mystery worth unraveling?

On a snowy mountain, during what was supposed to be an ordinary family hike, a monstrous creature emerged from a glowing portal and tore his life apart, killing his parents before vanishing into thin air. No one believed his story. The official explanation was an avalanche, but Luke has never forgotten the truth: the creature, and the strange portal, were real. Now sixteen, Luke joins a school field trip to the same mountain, only to find himself drawn back to the site of his deepest pain. As the snow falls and strange forces awaken, the portal reactivates, pulling Luke into Aethereon, a realm of ancient power and shifting landscapes, brimming with the mysterious energy known as Advent. In this otherworldly dimension, Luke discovers that the creature responsible for his parents' deaths, known only as The Anomaly, roams freely, a force of chaos that answers to no one. Determined to confront it and make it pay for what it took from him, Luke begins his journey, joined by a group of unlikely companions he meets along the way. Together, they navigate the perils of Aethereon, from its labyrinthine forests to its towering, crystalline peaks, facing foes born of Advent's raw power. As Luke learns to wield Advent himself, he realizes that his quest for revenge is far more complicated than he imagined. The Anomaly is more than just a killer-it is a being tied to the fabric of both Aethereon and Earth, and its existence threatens to unravel the balance between worlds. To survive and protect everything he loves, Luke must face not only the monster but the truths buried deep within himself. The Original Realm is a gripping story of loss, vengeance, and self-discovery, as Luke Mace ventures into the unknown to confront the past and forge his own path forward.

[MATURE CONTENT AHEAD!! THIS STORY IS MAFIA MEANING IT HAS A LOT OF VIOLENCE AND STRONG MATURE LANGUAGE] [NO RAPE] [NO CHEATING] [Note that the Male Lead in this story is not a prince charming who will change for his woman. He's a man with very questionable morals] I was bred in the mafia, born in the mafia, raised in the mafia, would marry into the mafia, and I would die in the mafia. In my house, my father’s word was law. Failure to adhere to the law came with dire consequences. Sometimes physical, mental, or emotional. He treated us like commodities and assets he would sell to the highest bidder and make some quick buck. It didn’t matter that we were human or that we had opinions. Antonio Agosti was a monster for a father. He killed any man who tried to get with my sister and me and made us promise to preserve our virginity until marriage. And he saw it fit to sell mine to the most dangerous gang in all of Italy, the Cosa Nostra (Sicillian Mafia). He sold me to the most feared man in all of Italy, Nikolas ‘The Beast’ Mancini. He was rumored to have crushed a man’s skull with his hands, but I didn’t know if it was true. Either way, he was ruthless, fearless, intimidating, and dangerous. He had eyes as cold as ice and a gaze as calculating as ever. He was also strikingly handsome and hot. Every woman wanted him and feared him at the same time. But he chose me. The way he looked at me scared me. Especially when he told me, “You’re mine now, Viola. Till death do us part.” And he was right. The only way out of a Mafia marriage was death. Whether it was arranged as in my case or not. If I tried to leave Nikolai, the whole Cosa Nostra would hunt and kill me. And so the question remains, was death better than being married to the devil incarnate? ***EXCERPT 1*** “Any man who looks at you suggestively, I take his eyes. If he so much as touches you, I take his hands. If he sniffs you, I take his nose. If he kisses you or talks to you, I take his tongue.” Every word sent a chill down my spine, colder than the last. What kind of a monster did I get married to? “You’re sick!” He walked closer, covered in Leon’s blood. His stride was powerful and scary. On a normal occasion, I would have stood my ground. However, he had shown me a side of him I’d never seen before. “You know what the problem is, Principessa? I showed you that I was a gentleman and I was good. I’m not. You’ve taken my kindness for weakness.” “But—” He cut me off by grabbing my neck and pulling me closer. My heart raced wildly against my chest and I couldn’t tell if I was turned on or scared. “You’re my whore, Viola and I don’t share. Don’t you ever forget it.” Using his leg to spread my legs, he hiked up my skirt using his hand. Goosebumps coated my skin and a trail of fire was left in the wake of his touch. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. “You only spread these legs for me. Got it?” “No. I’m not a whore.” “You’re right. You are MY whore. Now go upstairs and wait for me on the bed before I cut off your lover’s other hand." ***End of Excerpt*** (Second Excerpt inside)

"You want this Viv. Don't you?" He murmured,his thumb tracing a gentle part down my body. His piercing green eyes seemed to bore into my soul,their intensity making my heart raced. “Stop please,” I cried. I held on to his shoulders to push him away but my fingers dugged into his skin as I threw my head back. A moan escaped my throat. He leaned closer and hiked my skirt up. He pushed aside my already wet panties and gently caressed my clitoris. “Answer me baby, do you want this? Do you want us?” I could feel his warm breath against my skin,his words laced with a tone that both thrilled and terrified me. "Yes,I want it" I whispered,my eyes fluttering close while his fingers thrust in and out of me. I couldn't control the moans that erupt my throat. I knew my actions means giving him total control over me, but I couldn't think straight at the moment. I just wanted him. . . .

Is it too much to ask for something magical, something extraordinary, something out of this world? Being raised in a conservative family regarding relationships, and in a society where fear is prevalent everywhere, I went from a kid who used to dream about doing everything alone, traveling, going on hikes and adventures, starting business ventures, to a young adult who wishes, even prays desperately for a prince, her soulmate who could make her feel secure, who could fulfill her fantasies, as she realized how impossible they have become. Sometimes I wonder maybe I am creating these invisible boundaries for myself, and I just need to break them, while other times it’s the society and my family. And I cannot break those barriers without consequences. There is so much I want and I don’t know how to get it. There's so much I want to experience, and I keep stopping myself from the ridiculous reasoning such as it's raining, to a few realistic ones like I don’t have money or I have to save money. Honestly, I don’t know what to say. I want something, and I don’t know how or what it is.............................

I was fired, they made a case against me, said I went against their order, said I killed innocent people, so ja, now I'm at home, what about you? Pottie: Can't you see? Showing to his stomach … Pottie: I'm rich Benjie: Rich of what? Pottie: I do a heist At first, Benjie laughed and thought he was joking and then he realised that his friend is serious. He tried to tell his friend on how crazy he is but somehow Pottie convinced him … Pottie: You like phones? Benjie: Oh yes you know I do Pottie showed him his Apple iPhone 13 Max Pro, then he told him that he bought it in cash … Pottie: Wanna see my type R Golf 6? Pottie took him to his house and showed him the brand new Volkswagen Type R. Right there and then, the gangster in Benjie woke up, what he saw with his eyes was just too much so he asked Pottie … Benjie: Brah, I want this brah, I want in Pottie smiled at him, and didn't waste time asking, he just trusts him, besides, his friend possesses crazy military skills … Pottie: I'll introduce you to my team come. And that is how Benjie got involved with heist. Since Pottie introduced him to a team of five, Benjie got to be involved with three successful heists which gave him a few dollars in his pockets.
