Neil Gaiman Graveyard

While they mine for gold, I dig graves. While they use healing ointment, I munch on graveyard grass. While they take Mana Potions, I light incense and candles. While they meditate to recover, I rest in a coffin, While they attack with magic, I retaliate by tossing paper money. ... Let's see how a skeleton turns the tables in an online game, stirring up chaos to become the ultimate boss!

"Any who don the title of 'king' or anything of the sort in my presence is nothing more than an ignorant fool. This is my land and I shall be reclaiming it soon. I am Cacophony, the Vampire Empress!" As those words left her lips, every cell in my body reacted. It was unreal—no, it was otherworldly. Her beauty, her power, and her overwhelming arrogance. It might've been then that I realized that my normal life had ended. How did it come to this? Ah, it was curiosity. Yes, a deathly curiosity brought me to that graveyard that day. It was there that I stumbled upon her coffin. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing then, and even now I have no idea what possessed me to touch it—that single moment changed the course of history for the entire world. I found myself delving into a completely unknown world. Should I regret it? Maybe. But the truth is, I don't. Exploring the world’s hidden secrets, forging unexpected bonds, and living alongside the revived empress—it’s exciting. "Even if it's wrong, I think I'm going to enjoy every moment of it."

Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death. Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine. --- “I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached. He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here. “Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?" I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. “What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze. --- A Dangerous Obsession Can she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction? A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation. --- LYCAN KING CASSIAN I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones. Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce. And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

Life’s weird when you’re an Animalis. Sure, you’ve got the superhuman strength and the cute ears that people can’t resist—but all it really means is that restocking beer and tobacco shelves during the graveyard shift is slightly less painful. I’m Sasha, just a twenty-one-year-old guy trying to get through another night at the convenience store without passing out or dealing with too much drama. But then she walked in—a tall, intimidating customer who managed to look like she stepped out of a magazine while ordering eight packs of tobacco. One awkward encounter later, and I’m bleeding, dizzy, and questioning every life choice I’ve ever made. In a world where having animal features is the new normal, I’m still trying to figure out where I fit in. Spoiler: it’s probably not face-first on the floor.

Neil, a young man in his 20s, had just bailed out of jail due to the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend, who took everything from him.

Was it the book answering their questions, or was it someone else? --"Anika came running towards Neil. She seemed in a hurry, yet passed by him as if he wasn't there." "Neil, lost in gazing at the skyscrapers, slowly approached Anika, yet he moved around her as if he didn't see her."-- → Why can't they ever seem to meet each other? Why, every time they walk towards each other, do they pass by as if they don't see each other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I've reached here. Where are you?" he asked, looking at the book. "I am already here, but I can't see you. Where are you?" she replied. --"Neil looked at Anika in confusion, as if there was nothing in front of him, just air." "Anika moved forward, just a step away from Neil, her breath crossed his."-- "What are you saying? There is no one in front of me." Neil said in confusion, looking at what the book was writing. → Why, when they are standing this close to each other, can't they feel the other's presence or see them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ || Need A romance with a unique twist and supernatural element…here it for you in a delicious palette… By-waddle-silence_of_scribes. || ------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hah..Hah.." In the midst of what seemed like a battlefield, a young boy with white hair knelt on the ground, struggling to catch shallow breaths. A short sword pierced his heart, his arms and legs were broken, making him unable to stop the crimson blood from coloring the ground. "That's what you get for betrayal," a red-headed teenage boy sneered as he stood before him. "A pathetic person like you could never be my brother," added a purple-haired girl, her voice seething with anger, as she stood alongside the redhead. With great effort, the young boy shifted his gaze forward. He could see many familiar faces in front of him—his so-called family, his so-called friends but his gaze remained fixed on her. "Wh..y, A.nna," he uttered with immense difficulty and sorrow in his voice, his vision blurring as he locked eyes with the blonde-haired girl, who regarded him with emotionless eyes. "I did that so I could save you," he said, his voice gradually growing louder. "I DID THAT SO YOU COULD LIVE!" he shouted, making everyone present flinch in fear. "I never asked you to do this" the blonde-haired girl replied, her words crushing the very soul of the boy. "A...nn.a," the young boy whispered one last time, a small tear slipping down from his eye as he breathed his final breath. ================================ Neil survived eight grueling years in a post-apocalyptic world only to die and be reincarnated in the body of Eden Morton, a character from a game he used to play as a teenager, by an unknown entity for unknown reasons.

When I signed up for a graveyard cleaning job, I thought it would be a quirky summer gig—just me, a shovel, and a few tombstones. The ominous warning sign at the entrance? Just meant to keep the living out. That creepy amulet? Probably some local superstition. Little did I know, it was actually meant to keep whatever lurked in that graveyard inside. But after I accidentally shattered the amulet on my way in, I came face-to-face with a presence that shouldn’t be sitting atop his grave, especially not after 200 years. Instead of cleaning up after the dead, I’m stuck with a charming but dangerously sarcastic companion who despises humanity and refuses to leave me alone.

Just when I thought I could finally make some money and pay off my student loans, I’m plunged into a haunting mix of attraction and fear, with prophecies suggesting our union could spell doom for both the living and the dead. And to top it all off? I broke the only thing keeping him trapped inside the graveyard. Great. Welcome to my nightmare.
