Gothic Sakura

"You and I need to declare to them that we are dating." "Neither stingy love nor false feelings tell of the inner beauty of a person. Only purity in the soul, to which people's gaze is subject, is worthy to cause amazement about the fullness of the person in whom that trait is placed." "Do you know what that made me realize?" Ryo said surreptitiously, and slowly turned around. "People need care," he added slowly, with a confident tone. "Why does one's happiness not return with a coin…? Why should I endure it for more than a decade? Did I do something wrong?" she said quietly, leaning on her knees. It was the cycle of her life. *** Tokyo, 2022. During puberty, adolescents encounter a tremendous amount of emotional outbursts. Relationships and love, commitment and peacefulness become important in their lives. These factors give them a sense of carefree adolescence. But Ryou Hayashi doesn't see it that way. Having had difficulties in dealing with socialization since childhood, he suddenly and unwillingly moves to Tokyo from his hometown. Taking nothing from home with him, his life begins to change under the patronage of new acquaintances. Whether his outlook on life will change with the new city, or whether he will wallow in loneliness, never having felt the touch of teenage life, is up to him to decide when he meets four other high school students. It is a story about new acquaintances of completely different Japanese students in their final year of high school. By chance, their views cross each other, but neither of them knows until the end where their acquaintance will lead. It is a story of friendship, animosity, love, and colors. It is a story about community. Tokyo, the city of dreams. This city fulfills the dreams of workaholics and casts the lazy into exile, relaxes and never stops tiring, brings happiness to some and takes it away from others. From this beautiful city, covered by a veil of blinding lights, their story filled with dramatic challenges and tragedies begins. The story of a group of teenagers, who are unaware of their affections. The plot takes the reader straight to the eastern country, where the sun begins to rise first. Being wrapped in sakura petals, the roads lead to the prudence of a nature unseen anywhere before. A country with mind-boggling virtues in culture and tradition tells the story of ordinary schoolchildren, suggesting a life around endless youthful unrest and human outlook. Modern Japan (Nihon) introduces people who are able to live simultaneously under difficult but beautiful living conditions. This country teaches residents to love.

Marisol never imagined she was anything more than an ordinary, broken girl—until her life fell apart. A family that neglected her, the destruction of her beloved stuffed doll, and a spiraling series of tragedies reveal a darker truth: she is a dark seed, an unwitting fragment of a malevolent force known as the Core. Destined to bring chaos and destruction, she is caught between the pull of her own darkness and the world’s desperate attempts to erase her existence. When Eri, a Gothic Lolita demon born from the Core’s influence, emerges from the shadows to protect her, Marisol embarks on a harrowing journey of survival. Hunted by cultists who worship the Core, pursued by a determined scientist seeking to harness her powers for salvation, and haunted by her growing connection to a cosmic battle between light and dark, Marisol must uncover the truth of her existence. Guided by Aiden, a detective whose unwavering belief in her challenges her darkest instincts, Marisol resists the whispers of the Core. But every step closer to freedom pulls her deeper into the eternal conflict between Sylva, the guardian of the Tree of Life, and the Core’s remnants. As the lines between hero and villain blur, Marisol faces an impossible choice: to surrender to the Core’s influence or carve her own path at a devastating cost.

"But this feels real," She whispered. Curiosity got the best of her as she went around the coffin, luckily, it wasn't locked. She took a deep breath before pulling it open. "Jesus Christ!" Rose exclaimed, putting her hand over her chest as she breathed hard. She stood frozen beside the coffin, staring at a young man with the most beautiful face she'd ever seen, lying still and comfortably inside the coffin. Was he dead? He looked so pale like he was dead and yet so beautiful to be called dead. Talk about gothic beauty. Rose knew she should be running for her life at that moment, but she felt something drawing her closer to the man in the coffin, she flashed her light closer to his face as she reached her hand down and placed it right under his nose to check if he was still breathing. No air, his nose bridge was cold as ice too. Rose was still busy staring at the man's face when she felt something very icy touch her arm, she felt her heart drop to her stomach as she slowly turned her head to look at her arm, that's when she saw the white, slim, masculine fingers wrapped tightly around her wrist. Her soul left her and her heart completely stopped beating, before starting to beat like a parade band in her chest. "Hail fucking Mary!" Rose whispered in a frightened tone, her lips quivered and her eyes widened unnaturally. She felt her legs become paralyzed from fear and unable to move or run. She dared to fearfully turn around and look at the man's face again, just to find his blood-colored eyes, staring icily at her. She was about to scream when the young man suddenly pulled her into his coffin with incredible speed, and the last thing she remembered was feeling how cold his body was before she felt an unnatural sleep overtake her. *** Rose Thiago was an ordinary human girl who loved reading dark fantasies but never believed in them. She suddenly gets warned by her best friend never to read those kinds of books again if she doesn't want to make herself visible to the dark creatures or evoke their world to herself, but she calls her bluff and reads them over and over again. On a field trip, Rose suddenly finds herself falling into an endless hole, and when she finally meets the solid ground, she discovers that it is no longer familiar ground. She gravely realized that just as her friend said, she'd finally drawn the dark world to herself. She somehow manages to bump herself into a beautiful man lying inside a coffin and dared to touch him just for the dead man to suddenly hold her hands and disappeared with her. In that moment, she came to believe that magical creatures did exist. And she was about to discover that she had the blood of the sun. Two thousand years ago, to survive a dreadful poison, The prince of the dark world, Cassius Levi, sought refuge in his healing grave, only to awaken when the right time for his revenge came. What he didn't expect was to be forcefully awakened by an undeserving mortal.

Je suis traqué. Enfin, pas moi exactement. Quelqu'un veut mettre la main sur le génie derrière A.M.K Pharmaceuticals. Ils ne savent juste pas que c'est moi. J'ai découvert un moyen d'annuler l'odeur de n'importe qui, changeur de forme ou humain. Vous penseriez que ce n'est pas si important... les déodorants promettent la même chose, mais mon produit n'est rien de tel. Mon produit rend ses porteurs invisibles aux changeurs de forme. Non, pas comme ça. Mais les changeurs de forme ont besoin de l'odeur plus que de presque tout le reste pour identifier et trouver une personne. Sans odeur, ils ne peuvent pas pister leurs proies, ou sentir un ennemi arriver par derrière. Je l'avais créé à l'origine pour que mon père adoptif et moi puissions éviter la communauté de métamorphes. Personne n'était censé le savoir. Jusqu'à ce qu'un petit oiseau dise quelque chose qu'il ne fallait pas à la mauvaise personne. Maintenant, les humains sont à mes trousses et les changeurs de forme veulent ma mort. Mais c'est pas grave. Ce n'était pas la seule chose que j'avais imaginée. Et si je suis aussi silencieux qu'une souris, personne ne me verra venir jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop tard. Ce sera un roman RH, la FMC n'aura pas à choisir.

Ich werde gejagt. Na ja, nicht unbedingt ich. Jemand will das Genie hinter A.M.K. Pharmaceuticals in die Finger bekommen. Sie wissen nur nicht, dass ich es bin. Ich habe einen Weg gefunden, den Geruch von jedem zu negieren, egal ob Shifter oder Mensch. Man könnte meinen, das wäre keine große Sache... Deodorants versprechen dasselbe, aber mein Produkt ist nichts dergleichen. Mein Produkt macht seine Träger für Shifter unsichtbar. Nein, nicht auf diese Weise. Aber Shifter brauchen den Geruch mehr als alles andere, um eine Person zu identifizieren und zu finden. Ohne Geruch können sie ihre Beute nicht aufspüren oder einen Feind riechen, der sich von hinten nähert. Ich hatte ihn ursprünglich erschaffen, damit mein Adoptivvater und ich die Gemeinschaft der Shifter meiden konnten. Keiner sollte davon wissen. Bis ein kleines Vögelchen der falschen Person etwas sagte, was sie nicht hätte sagen sollen. Jetzt sind die Menschen hinter mir her und die Shifter wollen mich tot sehen. Aber das ist schon in Ordnung. Das war nicht das Einzige, was mir eingefallen ist. Und wenn ich so leise wie eine Maus bin, wird mich niemand kommen sehen, bevor es zu spät ist.
