Adrien And His Mother

Lucias never thought his life would end like this-bleeding out in an S-rank dungeon, his entire party wiped out, and a Cerberus tearing through his gut. It wasn't just the pain that ate at him; it was the unfairness of it all. That L-grade monster had no business being there. Not in this dungeon. Not in this world. Once again, the system had fooled them, and humanity paid the price. As his vision blurred and his life slipped away, one thought echoed in his mind: If I'm going to die, at least let me know how that novel ends. For over a decade, Lucias had been obsessed with a story-one of a legendary hero who slayed dragons and even gods. He knew every twist, every turn, every detail. The protagonist had been his role model as a ranker. That story was the one thing that had kept him going through his mundane existence. Now, as death loomed, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He just wanted to see the ending. But instead of dying, Lucias wakes up in a place completely foreign to him. An old butler, gray-haired and impeccable in a clean, sleek suit, approaches his bed. When the butler speaks and addresses him as "Lord Seth," it all comes flooding back. The name is too familiar. Seth, the villainous lord who was destined to be killed by the protagonist in the novel Lucias had been reading. Sweat tricked down Lucias' forehead as the realization hit him: Out of all the people I could have become, why did I have to transmigrated into the villainous lord?

Death of all the rogues for what they did to me," Alpha Maverick said, looking at the girl who became stiff beside him. "You are not a rogue, are you?" Alpha Maverick looked into her enchanting eyes, his hand caressing her cheeks, making her smile awkwardly.

Lexi sat on the floor, tears streaming down her face. Noah quietly entered the room and walked over to her. Without a word, he pulled her into a gentle hug. "Don’t cry anymore, Lexi," he whispered softly. "It’s not your fault that one of the twins is missing. We’ll find her, I promise. One day, we will." But Lexi’s pain erupted. She snapped angrily, pushing him away. "You always say that! But I can’t keep going on like this. It hurts so much! I’m a mother now, Noah, and it tears me apart not knowing where my other twin is.

I didn’t get the chance to hold her, to say goodbye... It hurts more than I can bear." Noah reached out, taking her hands in his. "I’m here now, Lexi. Don’t cry anymore. I’ll be with you, we’ll get through this together, dear."

Life can never be simple. When a boy starts a supposedly "new" life at a secondary school, he hopes to forget the past and becomes anew. All he ever wanted was a peaceful high-school life. But life finds its way to completely flip his world upside down. Now he has to deal with crazy situations, ranging from embarrassing himself in front of hundreds of people to falling in love in the most random moments like every romance story out there. Life for this boy really turned anew. **This "novel" is a combination of the authors experience throughout high-school and his delusions he always had in his mind in which he wants to pour it out in this story** DISCLAIMER (and authors note) This is my first time ever writing something big and ambitious. Just writing to get a hobby or something. AND IT WILL SUCK. MY WRITING IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. I HAVE NO UPLOAD SCHEDULE SO CHAPTERS WILL BE PUBLISHED RANDOMLY Honestly I just wanted to put all my wishes and delusions of what I wanted highschool to be like for me. And I thought that I might as well share some of the experience I had in my actual highschool life so I can have a mix of reality and imagination in this story. Guess we'll see how that'll work out and also see how far this story will go. I hope I can at least finish it. I don't expect anyone to read it. After all, I can say that this is like my diary and memory book for me to read back and smile at the experience I went through during highschool. Making it public in case anybody wants something to relate to I guess :P

Somewhere away from abuse, from his bullies, from harassment, from false judgements... from ropes... and whips... somewhere away from pain. Somewhere they will never reach him. That is what Aqueo Harp had always been wishing for.

But there is hope, Aqueo Harp meets a water spirit and finds new friends, something he never had for a long time. With their help, Aqueo doesn't feel as hopeless anymore.

It's for both genders to read, but maybe a bit more for females cause it's mostly a historical romance. My other works: -Rebirth for you: -The Villainess?
