Playing House

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."

Update Schedule: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on WN, SH, MSB, and RR. As for the Patrons, almost Daily updates with guaranteed 25 new Chapters each month. Discord: https://discord.gg/t2gPEt3 Synopsis: Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all. But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

I'm excited to share my very first novel, *The Haunted Lighthouse*. It's a story about a small, hidden town named Greenville, where a terrible event changes everything. A group of bandits attacked the town, killing many people and burning their homes. Their leader was after gold and a valuable statue from a temple. When the townspeople tried to stop him, he fled to a nearby lighthouse to hide. But even after trying to give back what he stole, the people set the lighthouse on fire, killing him inside. Before dying, the bandit swore revenge, and his spirit haunts the lighthouse, seeking justice. This novel is a mix of mystery, revenge, and the supernatural.
