Mass Effect Illusive Man

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

All the civilized races were given a power in the primal age where they came into being. Except for humanity, so it seemed.

Mandy Morgan thought she had her life figured out—until it all shattered. Working as a competent manager at Vienna Suites in Owerri, Nigeria, Mandy carries the scars of a previous relationship that nearly destroyed her. Lonely yet guarded, she finds unexpected solace in a mysterious online connection with Jayson Anderson, a dark, alluring man who quickly consumes her heart and mind. What starts as a few flirtatious chats soon morphs into something deeper and dangerously intoxicating. Jayson is everything Mandy never thought she needed—dominant, enigmatic, and emotionally elusive. Their late-night conversations become her escape, even as red flags begin to appear. Mandy’s heart overrules her reason. She knows he’s not offering commitment, yet she clings to the illusion that he might change. After two intense months, she travels to Abuja to meet him, and reality hits harder than expected. Jayson is charming in person, just as magnetic as his messages promised—but emotionally distant and cold when she needs him most. Their time together is passionate and unforgettable, yet every tender moment is followed by a wave of detachment. Upon returning to Owerri, Mandy begins to unravel. Jayson becomes less present, more absent, and painfully unreliable. Meanwhile, Nathan Hydes, a wealthy and kind-hearted executive she meets through work, begins to show interest in her. Nathan is everything Jayson is not—attentive, stable, patient. But Mandy is too emotionally entangled in her illusion to truly see him. As weeks pass, Jayson ghosts her, returns with weak apologies, then disappears again, leaving Mandy stuck in a painful limbo of hope and confusion. Her emotional decline becomes visible at work. Rumors among staff about inappropriate affairs trigger Mandy’s fierce sense of professionalism, and she begins to assert control—but inside, she's crumbling. With Christmas around the corner, Mandy’s best friend Hazel arrives from abroad and immediately notices her friend’s decline. Hazel becomes the voice of truth, urging Mandy to wake up and see Jayson for who he really is—a fantasy, a carefully crafted illusion of love. Slowly, Mandy is forced to confront the painful truth: her relationship with Jayson was never real—it was all desire, not devotion. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she begins the long journey toward healing. Even when Nathan expresses his love and offers her a fresh start, Mandy isn’t ready. She’s broken, confused, and lost. But she knows one thing for sure—she has to choose herself this time. My Illusion – Part One is a raw, emotionally gripping dark romance that explores the pain of loving someone who never truly loved you, and the struggle of reclaiming yourself after being consumed by false hope. It’s a haunting journey of desire, deception, and the slow, painful path toward self-discovery.

I used to be disenchanted of my own hands. Not in some weird psychological way—though maybe it was psychological, who knows. I mean literally afraid that my hands would betray me at the worst possible moment. Which they did. Constantly. Job interviews, presentations, first dates. Anytime people were watching and waiting for me to perform, my fingers would go numb and my brain would just... shut off. Like someone pulled the power cord. I called it ATSM—Anxiety That Stiffens Muscles. Stupid name, but I'm a programmer. I like labeling things, even when I can't fix them. The worst part? It killed my one real passion. I used to love billiards. Was actually decent at it, back in college. But after... well, after something happened that I don't really want to get into right now, I couldn't hold a cue stick without falling apart. So I did what any rational person would do: I gave up. Got a safe job, worked long hours, convinced myself I didn't need hobbies anyway. That plan worked great for about fifteen years. Then I made the mistake of running my mouth on TikTok, challenging the Queen of Nine-Ball to a match. Because apparently when you're having a midlife crisis, the smart move is to embarrass yourself in front of the best billiards player in Southeast Asia. This plot is about what happened after that. It's about meeting people who refused to let me quit, learning to fail in public without dying, and discovering that sometimes the only way forward is to go back and face the thing that broke you in the first place. It's also about billiards, obviously. But mostly it's about being brave enough to suck at something you love, in front of people who matter.

she was in the bubble of happiness but when this bubble burst she experienced the pain which led her to the journey of life,she was meant to experience and to meet him her destined.
