Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart

Time is your lifeline. Lose it, and you die. Steal it, and you survive—maybe. After dying under mysterious circumstances, William Chandler, a master thief with a dark past, awakens in Purgatory, a twisted afterlife where survival is decided by a deadly System Guide. Here, time is the only currency. Every second you lose brings you closer to permanent erasure. And the rules? They're always changing. The only constant? Trust no one. Except William’s Guide is glitched. His abilities don’t make sense. His time doesn’t drain properly. And sometimes… it fights back. Even kills for him. But a glitch in the system doesn’t make him safe. It makes him a target. Thrown into deadly games like “Snakes and Ladders”, chased by man-eating plants, and hunted by people desperate to live another hour, William must navigate a world of lies, loopholes, and looming extinction — with only a broken system to rely on. And if he ever wants to uncover why he was really sent here, he’ll have to outwit the Game Master, the other players, and the system itself. --- Warning: This story contains psychological tension, survival horror elements, morally grey characters, and emotional moments that may ruin your night’s sleep.

I never planned to fall. Not in love. Not again. Not after Siyabonga. When I walked into Imbeka Secondary School on my first day of Grade 8, I had already made up my mind: no boys, no drama, no heartbreak. I told myself I was done with childish love — and maybe even boys altogether. I believed I was a lesbian. I chose peace. I chose myself. Then I met Snothando. Then I met Promise. And through them… I met him. But this is not his story. This is mine. The story of the girl who laughed louder than her pain. The one who stayed… When love walked away.

Seven years ago, Luna Mendez died in a fire. At least… that’s what the world was told. But the truth? She survived. And now, under a new name, she’s back. As Selene Cruz, she walks into the lives of the very people who left her to burn—calm, beautiful, unreadable. They don’t recognize her. But their hands are still stained with her ashes. She’s not here for forgiveness. She’s here to unbury the lies, shatter their peace, and make them bleed the way she did. But when she comes face to face with Ezra Villanueva—the man who once held her heart and then walked away as her world burned—her vengeance wavers. Because her body remembers him. And worse… his soul remembers her. “You buried Luna. You should’ve made sure she stayed dead.” Some girls come back for closure. She came back for war. Because her name is no longer Luna. Her revenge has a name.

Everyone has, at some point, quietly admired someone from afar—watching, learning, even changing, just for the chance to be noticed. This is the story of a boy who fell in love not just with a girl, but with the idea of being someone she might love. From a single bottle of water handed over during gym class to months of silent devotion, he built his world around her shadow. Yet, as time passed and reality crept in, he faced a quiet but powerful question: Was he truly in love with her—or with the version of himself he created for her? This is a coming-of-age reflection on infatuation, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself.

> She shot him to save herself. He lived to ruin her. Now the man Annika once loved is hunting her across a trail of blood and saltwater. Revenge is simple. Love was always the complicated part.

[From the stories of Azuden0, Volume 3. Revelation, the Downfall. Chapter 2, Darkness's Uprising.] Achan Allare has spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Spiritual Healer, whose supposed miracles once inspired awe. But Achan knows the truth: his father was no miracle worker. The power that once made him legendary had long since withered, tainted by the abuse of such power. Yet, unwilling to let go of his status, his father continued the illusion by using him. Forced into the role of a vessel, Achan became the façade of his father’s failing power, paraded before desperate souls who clung to false hope. And when the deception finally caught up with them, it cost his father his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary existence- free from superstition, free from manipulation. Until they come. An influential family, desperate enough to believe. Taken against his will, Achan is thrust into a world he vowed to leave behind, commanded to take his father’s place and restore the health of their company’s sole heir. He refuses. He knows the cost of deception, knows the ruin that comes from clinging to fading miracles. But when he uncovers the truth behind their illness- a Curse that shouldn’t exist, that spreads suffering beyond its victims. He finds himself unable to turn away. With his freedom slipping through his fingers, Achan faces an impossible choice: fight against the truth he never wanted to reveal or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father- before it destroys him too. Bound to the heir through forces beyond his control, he must unravel dark secrets, confront the specter of his father’s past, and decide whether to wield a power he never asked for. But with danger lurking in the shadows, the question remains. Will he escape, or has he already been claimed by the legacy he tried to outrun?

But some hearts are easier to aim at than to understand. And some wounds never heal the way we expect them to. 'To Pierce a Heart' is a tale of a myth where romance meets self-reckoning, and even gods are faced with the truths they try to avoid.

Time has vanished. The world lingers—neither moving forward nor falling apart—but beneath the illusion of stillness, something is unraveling.

The further they venture into the fractured realms, the more the unraveling pulls at him—too fragile, too fleeting, as if reality itself is rejecting his presence. But they are not the only ones watching. For where there is no Time, there is no Order. And where Order falters, Chaos awakens. A force that does not play fair. A force that was always waiting for this moment to arrive. As realms crumble and forgotten things claw their way back into existence, Ezra finds himself facing a truth that should never have existed.

Lyric Cassandra Sandras is not a girl. She’s a curse wrapped in flesh, a devil parading in silence. Her heart? Long turned to stone. Her soul? Shattered and scattered across the graves of her past. Emotionless. Untouchable. Unbreakable. Still as death, until provoked. And when provoked... her rage is a silent storm that swallows everything. She doesn’t cry. She doesn’t scream. She burns. Only one person has ever mattered—Lilian Garcia. Her tether. Her reason. But Lyric hides it well. Pretends she doesn’t care, because caring is a weakness. And Lyric doesn’t do weakness.

Then they met her. They couldn’t break her… so they broke Lilian. Left her bloodied and hospitalized. Their mistake? Thinking Lyric would spare them. She won’t. And then he appeared. One of them. The leader. The cruelest of them all. But he looks just like him—her twin brother. The same boy she watched lowered into the dirt sixteen years ago. He’s the first person in over a decade who calms the voice inside her. The voice that hungers for blood. But calming the storm doesn’t stop the destruction—it delays it. What happened sixteen years ago still claws at her from the dark. And this time, it’s ready to surface. She’s not looking for love. She’s looking for war. And God help anyone who stands in her way.
