Was Just A Twilight

There lived a feeble boy on the streets who struggled to survive, but couldn’t give up on life despite how harsh the going got, trying to survive death which loomed closer by the second. Even then, how long can one really survive hunger? So, he reluctantly welcomed his ultimate demise during a heavy rainy afternoon. Thunder crackled and lightning flashed, which casted the shadow of someone near him; as he lifted his gaze to see whom it belonged to, he saw a girl with soulless eyes, holding onto a bloody knife, who granted him with the peace he so very desired.

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

What was supposed to be an ordinary trip to the mall turned into a nightmare beyond imagination. A new kind of horror emerged—neither human nor zombie—unleashing chaos upon the world. As civilization collapsed, a desperate struggle for survival began. Fleeing to a rumored safe haven in the forest, the survivors soon realized that their nightmare was far from over. At night, creatures roamed, and by day, merciless storms struck without warning. The rules of nature had changed, and the unknown lurked in every shadow. When tragedy strikes in the most unimaginable way, one survivor is left questioning reality itself. Was it all just a dream? Or had they truly lived through an apocalypse unlike anything the world had ever seen? The truth may be more terrifying than the nightmare itself.

Once, in an age beyond memory, there was a man who held the world in his grasp—a being so powerful that even the gods bowed in reverence. He carved the path upon which civilization would rise, merging benevolence with an unmatched might that reshaped the very fabric of existence. Yet, as swiftly as he vanished, the world began to forget him. His legacy now lingers only in whispered echoes—a reminder of an era when one man's power defined the fate of all there was.

Reincarnation sickness, a rare affliction of a powerful soul, where memories of one or more past lives blend into dreams. Dream-walking, a nearly uncontrollable magic that makes connecting to others with the same magic as easy as dreaming.

But when her curiosity leads her to a forgotten underground chamber, she unknowingly awakens something ancient—a vampire bound by vengeance. As whispers of blood magic and lost talismans surface, Masha is caught in a dangerous game where knowledge is power, and power is a deadly trap. With enemies lurking in the dark and uneasy alliances forming, she must decide who to trust before the city’s secrets consume her. But in a world where monsters wear many faces, will she uncover the truth before it's too late? "The past never stays buried... and neither do the dead."

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

"HERO" They are worshipped, celebrated, and hailed as humanity’s greatest defenders. But behind the cheers and applause, heroes are expected to be flawless—always sacrificing, always fighting. In Auronia, one of the three greatest kingdoms on Earth, heroes are more than just protectors; they are the pride of the nation. With nine advanced states, cutting-edge technology, and a structured Hero System, Auronia ensures order and security through its ranked defenders: ELITE (S-Class) – The pinnacle of power. Legends like Solarion and Blackjack stand here, shaping history. MEDIUM CLASS (A, B, C-Class) – Strong, reliable, but just another name on the list. LOW CLASS (D, E, F-Class) – Heroes who barely make a difference. SPECIAL PLACE – Not that special, honestly... A.K.A Sidekick. Yeah, you heard that right. Sidekicks. The ones assigned to assist heroes, take notes, handle logistics, and—if they're lucky—get some cool perks along the way. The selection process is brutal. Only 2 out of 10,000 applicants make it. And me? I’m Leo Maddox. The third person to pass. Sounds impressive? Think again. Sure, working under Solarion, the No.1 Hero of Auronia, has its advantages—free meals, VIP treatment, and never worrying about bus fare. But none of that mattered when I got rejected by my crush. Yeah. Rejected. Just because I’m a sidekick. I mean, come on! I work with the No.1 Hero! But no, apparently, that’s not good enough. Just when I thought my life couldn’t get worse, some nosy agents from A.X.I.O.M., the nation’s secret intelligence agency, started pestering me. Seniors, officials, and even former heroes kept coming to me for help. It was exhausting. I just wanted to keep working with Solarion and live my life in peace. But then... things got weird. I found a picture of someone who looks exactly like me—inside Solarion’s personal files. Who the hell is he? Why does he have my face? And as I dug deeper into the truth, I realized something terrifying. Auronia, the nation of heroes—the beacon of justice and progress—is hiding a darkness far worse than anyone could imagine.

Leon seeks vengeance for a past that will not let him go, while Sam, burdened by guilt, longs for connection in a life shaped by solitude. As the tides of war rise, their paths become inexorably intertwined, testing not only their strength but the fragile emotions neither dares to name. In the chaos, alliances will be forged, betrayals will cut deep, and amidst the fire of war, hearts may find themselves entangled in ways neither fate nor duty could predict. The Age of False Gods is ending. But what comes next may be far more dangerous.
