Firefly

The Lantern of Lost Wishes Deep in the heart of Luminwood Forest, where the air hums with secrets and fireflies weave trails of forgotten dreams, there is a legend—an ancient lantern that can grant lost wishes. No one knows who made it or why, but those who go looking for it rarely find their way back. For Elyra, the lantern is more than a story. It’s a chance. Haunted by a past she can’t change and a future slipping through her fingers, Elyra sets out to find the lantern, clutching nothing but a faded map and a fragile hope. But the forest is alive. It shifts and listens. Creatures of shadow, known as the Wraithbound, follow her every move, feeding on the desperate wishes of others. Elyra’s only ally is a mysterious stranger with golden eyes and a grin that hides more than it reveals. He’s cursed, dangerous, and far too familiar with the forest’s tricks—and yet, Elyra can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who truly understands her. With every step deeper into the woods, Elyra discovers that wishes are never free, and some are lost for a reason. The closer she gets to the lantern, the heavier the cost becomes—secrets unravel, alliances shatter, and the forest itself begins to turn on her. Elyra must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim what she’s lost and whether some dreams are better left untouched. Because in the Luminwood, every wish carries a price, and once the lantern’s light finds you, it’s impossible to turn back. A story of longing, sacrifice, and the magic we hold onto when all else fades, The Lantern of Lost Wishes is a journey into a world where dreams flicker like fireflies, and hope is both a blessing and a curse.

Six different worlds, same determination, similar vigorous efforts, similar results, he gave up. The seventh time, closing his eyes at the looming fiend, Thain said: "Make it swift, please."

This year is the rare element of light, and with tensions rising as the coven tries to uncover signs of a higher power intervening with their daily affairs, Firefly wonders if she will receive this years blessing-and what this will mean for her if she does.

Do I seek to destroy the heavens or to break free from the chains of fate that bind me? I used to think I could, but now I wonder if I even have the strength to try. How many times have I fought against this suffocating reality, only to find myself exhausted by the struggle? The very idea of rebellion has become wearisome, and I yearn for an end—an end to this torment, to myself, to this cruel and sinister world. I’ve done what I had to do to survive. Yet, when I look back, the world casts me as the villain, branding me evil for merely existing in a landscape designed for my demise. But is it wrong to fight for my life? To claw my way through the shadows? I feel the urge to give up, to surrender to the darkness that whispers sweetly in my ear, but a flicker of something within me refuses to fade. What would it mean to let go? To relinquish this relentless struggle? Curiosity gnaws at me—what awaits at the end of my journey? Could it be peace, or will I find only more despair? I stand at the precipice, teetering between the desire for annihilation and the faintest glimmer of hope, wondering which path will finally lead me home.

Kim Hajin transmigró a una novela de fantasía, que había leído tres años antes, donde había masmorras y cazadores, así como un sistema que acompañaba a todo aquel que despertara. Vivió, o mejor dicho sobrevivió literalmente casi la mitad de su vida sin saberlo, y cuando por fin se dió cuánta de todo. Se vió en la desesperación de que él solo era un Jefe Final más carne de cañón que cualquier otra carne de cañón. Lo peor es que reaccionó exactamente en el momento en el que era asesinado por el protagonista. Y apesar de su rabia de haberse visto obligado a vivir un infierno por doce años completos atrapado en las masmorras, y morir sin poder respirar aire fresco por menos de una hora. Solo pudo hacer acto de tristeza, renuencia y mucha, mucha lástima. Y por supuesto rezar para que el corazón de santo padre del protagonista se moviera. Kim Hajin apostó con su vida, esa era su única opción. pero valió la pena...

do you like dual cultivation novels? this is a novel that is written because I couldn't find many good dual cultivation novel that has a very good story in my taste. This novel is about a wise orphan, who doesn't have his past life memory or is not a reincarnated man with godly techniques, who struggles to get himself out of the cruel world he is born into not by luck or by a broken legacy but his brain unlike many MCs. it is a cultivation world where the characters does not act like NPC or firefly for MC growth but have their own goal and will do anything to achieve it. The MC doesn't have a harem the MC isn't overpowered let me explain: the MC goes around collecting harem and that is great but think about it. in the real world as the harem grows the intimacy fades the ladies change and evolve too and what makes you think a collection of women fighting for attention will do? there will be carnage! there is no way powerful cultivator women would stick around one another because they will have a better chance with other powerful male cultivators who give their full attention and resources. men don't truly want a harem and take care of an endless amount of women but want to go around sleeping with as many women as possible without any restrictions. we see it in animals, it is instinct. the cover page isn't mine shout out to sea art and the artist.

TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of suicide, depression, death, and rape. Do not read if you can not handle these topics. Also this book is meant to be slightly a horror novel. this book is about a sixteen year old girl named Victoria who moved into a small town for a fresh start after her mother died. Little did she know what would go down in the town. Mysterious disappearances that can't be explained. An untraceable virus? Victoria and her two other friends try to get to the bottom of it. -------------------------------------------------- epilogue:   Dad would always say that our mom used to take me to the waterfall when I was a kid.   I don't really remember this of course. I was only four when she did, but we would catch fireflies and she'd tell me I was her beautiful Angel. When my brother got old enough she would take him there since I felt I was too old to catch fireflies and play in the water. I do have memories of my mother, it's only been eight months since she's passed. I'm sixteen now and unlike most girls my age who go out and do drugs do to peer pressure with their friends, I've been home schooled for the past eleven years due to my mother thinking the bullying would lead to depression later in life. I don't have friends or anyone to talk to. My mother was my only friend and now she's gone.   It's not like I can look for any comfort nor company in my father now these days. He's been a ghost since mom passed. Meaninglessly roaming around the house bumping into things as he goes, not really paying attention to what he's doing. My brother is too young to deal with this type of loss being only six. I know that dad tries his best with us in the sense of being there, but no matter how many fake smiles he puts on I still hear him crying in his room some nights. With that being said I'm the one who does the comforting in my family and together, yet alone, we cry.   I thought it was going to be like this for the rest of our lives. I never planned to move out at eighteen because I didn't want to leave my father here alone to rot. A shell of his former self slowly decaying along with the house. With my little brother being motherless and pretty much fatherless I had to learn to be a parent and raise him the best that I can. I'm guessing my dad had different plans. He burst into my room early one morning without warning. "I need you to pack you and your brother's stuff. We're leaving to Oregon. Please pack as light as possible. You'll have time to choose what you want to keep or leave because you have two weeks." ------------------- Cover artist: Roxanne Jane Black insta: roxanne.janeblack
