A Group In The Distance

A Spark in the Shadows

In the sprawling, magical metropolis of Lumina City, Silas Calder lives a double life: by day, he’s a bartender at *The Alchemical Flask*, a speakeasy that caters to both humans and magical beings. By night, he secretly experiments with forbidden enchantments, yearning for a purpose beyond his mundane existence. When Kael—a mysterious and brooding shadowbinder with a dangerous past—walks into the bar, Silas’s life takes an unexpected turn. Drawn together by an undeniable connection, Silas and Kael discover they share a rare soulbond, a magical link that intertwines their fates. But their bond makes them targets in a city teetering on the edge of chaos. The Sentinels, an elite force tasked with policing magic, relentlessly hunt Kael for his shadowbinding abilities, while Silas struggles to harness the volatile magic within himself. As their feelings deepen, so does the danger. When the Sentinels raid *The Alchemical Flask*, Silas risks everything to save Kael, setting them on a path of rebellion against the oppressive forces controlling Lumina City. Together, they uncover the dark secrets of the Sentinels and the true nature of their soulbond, which may hold the key to saving not only themselves but countless others persecuted for their magic. In a city where shadows hold secrets and sparks ignite revolutions, Silas and Kael must confront their fears, embrace their powers, and decide how far they’re willing to go for love, freedom, and each other.

A Love Written In The Stars

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." In a fantastical world inspired by imperial China, the story follows Crown Prince Cheng, who faces a pretty intense struggle from birth; cursed with a chaotic spirit that strikes him at the worst times leaving him vulnerable and casting doubt on his ability to one day rule. As the Emperor ages, the whispers in the court grow louder, can Cheng really take the throne? His only true ally is Meiying, a young woman who's spent years secretly training to become a martial arts master. But when she finally returns home, she's met with devastation- her home destroyed and her family gone. Author’s Note This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.

Apocalypse Villain - hiding in the hero's group

This novel is reposted and continued under a new name - Apocalyptic Game: Revenge of the Reborn Villain. If you like the idea and want to finish this reading journey, check that name in search and download it. ... It was only after Damian died miserably that he learned that the young man who shouted about love and friendship all day long was the male protagonist, the one destined to save the world, and he was just a minor villain, a stepping stone for the hero along the way. Because Arthur is the hero, he, who has a cautious personality will ignore the opponent's threat and let him grow. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every fatal move he makes has no effect. Because Arthur is the protagonist, even his loyal men will be inspired to rebel. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every strong girl will open her arms and welcome him to join their camp after seeing his smile. Now, after regaining his life in the past through the rebirth, Damian had three choices before him -: 1) Just like in the previous life, fight hard with the protagonist and try to find a way to kill him. (Yeah, good luck with that dumbo..) 2) Don't be a villain, and seek a way out. Hide from the hero and heroines (Like fate would let you, silly..) 3) Join the hero's group and act like a righteous little brother. (That means forgetting everything he went through, can he..) Damian looked at all three plans carefully and reordered them instantly. He wants to join the hero's group like a righteous person, and then find a way to kill the damned protagonist. "You think the story ends with you saving the world? But guess what, I’m rewriting the script. This world isn’t worth saving. And if I have to destroy it to kill Arthur, then so be it." And thus the world witnessed the birth/rebirth of a true villain. XXX---XXX Note -: It's a post apocalyptic fantasy novel. With zombies, mutation, evolution and some super powers kinda stuff. -MC is a proper cruel villain. Not at the level of being totally emotionless but not quite far either. -The hero is a proper protagonist. Not like those double standard guys from random cn mtl novels who're more villainous than so called villains. -No harem. No heroine.
