The House With A Clock In Its Walls

Lexie Blake thought moving back to Willow Creek would be a fresh start. What she didn’t expect? A mortifying first encounter with Nathaniel Sinclair—her childhood friend-turned-grumpy law student. One accidental wardrobe malfunction, a pair of misplaced underwear, and a whole lot of misunderstandings later, Lexie is convinced she wants nothing to do with him. Too bad fate (and their meddling mothers) have other plans.

The bride had run away and she was brought in to impersonate her, scoring a handsome husband for free. Her husband was rich, domineering, and had a great physique. Young and vigorous with plenty of strength! The boss wants to take advantage of her? Acquisition! Someone is bullying her? Blacklist! A car hit her? Smash it! "Honey, you're too violent." "I can't help it, I can't stand seeing others bully you." She was touched, thinking that happiness had arrived and that she could become Mrs. Ryan for real. Until one day, he packed her luggage for her. "Leave, she's back now." She hid her pregnancy diagnosis and left in style… Five years later, she returned home with her twins. All of a sudden one day, "Mommy, some scammer dared to impersonate our dad, we beat him up! We should be rewarded, right?" "Beat someone up? And still want a reward?" Who did these two little devils learn this violence from? Wait a minute? Their dad?... Sofia rushed to check, and who was locked in the restroom if not Mr. Ryan Gregory! Ryan Gregory roared, "How do you educate the kids!" Sofia raised an eyebrow, "I can’t help it, it's hereditary!"

In the far away land of Vulcan, a grey house sits in the foggy forest where lives the boy. Archie is a lonely boy who lives in the grey house. Broken into many pieces now he attempts to piece himself together by battling creatures of despair. Follow him and his companion as they go on to fight through the despair that traps them to create a happy life for themselves. Now, let's set his story about how they will go on to achieve this dream.

"As the Supreme Commander of The Wall, my duty is clear: to hold back the threats from the south—mutant monsters, ogres, cyclops, or... hopefully not... the return of the orcs. The kings and lords of Middle Earth do not care. To them, we are just a bunch of 'Outcasts,' exiled criminals and soldiers pushed to the margins. That’s fine. It's better if they stay out of our way. Corrupt politicians rarely care about real security." He looks down at the Outcast barracks below, where the central headquarters commands the entire Wall, separating the south from the main continent. Wisps of smoke rise from the kitchens, carrying the scent of salty, stale soup. The Outcasts atone for their sins or suppress their grief through dangerous missions in exchange for a few gold coins, following the rigorous standards set long ago. Such is life at The Wall. "I, Oldman, am not a religious man. But I interpret the legacy of past eras as a reminder: The world has never truly been at peace. The evil forces of all ages—fragments, orcs, or dragons—will always lurk. Humans, dwarves, elves, whoever they may be, could end up killing each other, driven by cunning deceit. And now, the only barrier holding back the southern threat is The Wall... and us, the Outcasts. Perhaps history will remember us as nameless heroes, or perhaps it will forget us. But as long as I stand here, I will not allow the monsters from the south and other darknesses to spread across the continent again." "I am Oldman... In a world that has cast us out, we stand amidst the darkness. We have no land, no name, only this path. We are the shadows behind this wall. We are the forgotten guardians of the world. We are the Outcasts, and we will endure, or die on our path."

WSA 2025 Entry- Updates every Friday #wsa #wsa2025 ----------------- In a future where the pursuit of technology has led to the creation of massive robots known as Titans, used by the government for destruction and control, a pair of twins escape their dire circumstances in the city’s slums. A brother, modified with robotic parts, and his sister, a natural adept with the hidden power to control nature, find refuge in a secluded oasis amidst a concrete jungle, called The Green House. Here, they encounter a community thriving in harmony with nature, far from the government's reach. However, their peace is short-lived as the government dispatches Titans to claim this last bastion of greenery. Faced with overwhelming odds, the twins and the residents of The Green House stand in defiance. The sister harnesses her newfound abilities to wield the forces of nature, while her brother employs his robotic enhancements in a dramatic confrontation to protect their newfound home and freedom.

Sunny has been discovered by the half brother she never knew she had, which leads to a whirlwind of trouble for her. The intimidating man is not only Head of the Illusen Family, but a Revenant Commander - soon to be one of her superiors upon her graduation. But as they adjust to each other, their growing closeness gives rise to feelings neither should be harbouring for the other.

Looking back, maybe it wasn't all that bad. Sometimes, I wonder if life would have been better for us all if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that's selfish. But we might have been happier-or at least, that's what I'd like to believe. Magic is a mystery, and not much is known about it even today. it flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. I wish that was all I had to tell you, but my story is darker and filled with mystery and loss. My name is Maddox, and I should have never left the orphanage."

-------------------- *Title: "Whispers in the Walls"* For years, the old house on Maple Street had been abandoned, its peeling paint and overgrown ivy making it a perfect subject for local urban legends. But when Eliza and her brother, Sean, inherit the house from an estranged aunt, they decide to renovate it and make it their new home. As soon as they move in, strange things begin happening. At first, it’s small—objects moved just out of place, an old piano playing a single note by itself at night. But then, Eliza starts hearing whispers, faint at first, but growing louder as days pass. They come from the walls—soft, unintelligible murmurs. One night, Eliza wakes to find a message carved into the wall in what looks like dried blood: *“You shouldn’t have come.”* Sean dismisses it as a prank, but Eliza can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. The whispers intensify, becoming clearer and more urgent, pleading for them to leave. Desperate, Eliza digs into the history of the house and uncovers a terrifying truth: her aunt had been involved in occult practices, attempting to summon a powerful entity. But she failed—trapping the entity in the house, bound to the walls themselves. Now, Eliza and Sean must figure out how to break the curse before the entity uses them to finally escape. -------------------

Two friends. One mysterious 'System'. A second chance at life. Adrian and Marcus never expected to die young. Yet, when they awaken in a cosmic void, a voice gives them a compensation deal: reincarnation in a brand-new world, with their memories and sense of being intact. Given a finite pool of Karmic Points, they must carefully choose their advantages, their starting position, and even the world itself where they will be reborn. Adrian—ever the strategist—opts for long-term gain, while Marcus, impulsive and bold, just craves excitement. Together, they make a fateful decision: they will be reborn as a minor noble brothers in the Azura Federation, a land of shifting allegiances, merchant-noble, and cutthroat politics. When the time comes to spend their last remaining Karmic Points, Marcus proposes a radical gamble: rather than buying minor advantages, they sacrifice everything for unrestricted access to the System’s hidden exchange mechanics. The deal is struck—but at a cost they don’t fully understand. Now, as they navigate a world of noble houses, military conflicts, and hidden agendas, Adrian and Marcus must use every advantage at their disposal to not only survive this life—but to try finding a way of securing their place in the next cycles of life in the far future. What happens if they fail? If their Karmic points reach zero when they die in this new life they are about to embark? The System refuses to say. With magic, danger, and unseen cosmic forces lurking in the shadows, the two must play the ultimate game of strategy. But as they rise, one other question always looms over them: Did they even have a chance to break the System… or did the System merely just trap them in an even deeper game?

Jules hadn’t expected the haunted house to be truly haunted. He also hadn’t expected the demon to take an interest in him, refusing to leave him be. “…Wasn’t I only supposed to babysit my sister and her friends? How the hell did things go so wrong…?!” *** Demon: “Are you even a real priest to begin with?” Jules: “What do you think?” Demon: “Hm, definitely not.” Jules: “Oh?” Demon: “I’ve never seen a priest as attractive as you before.” “…” Jules pulled a ‘I’m so done with this shit’ kind of face. Jaded hunter x happy-go-lucky demon, reversible couple, HE. WARNING: This is a horror story and I'll not put trigger warnings for gore/gruesome scenes. I'll put them for smut, though ~ Also, I don't mind if you want to translate my book, but please contact me first! You can get in touch in the comment area, on my Twitter, or Discord (R.S.
