Transit

Wantonly Entwined

Flowers Don't Bloom for Just Anyone "These roses look about as lively as a week-old corpse," a voice drawled, as smooth and chilling as a winter wind. Lily flinched, her watering can nearly tumbling from her grasp. Timidly, she peeked up to see a man with eyes like polished obsidian and a smirk that could curdle milk. He was breathtakingly handsome, in a way that sent shivers down her spine, a delicious mix of danger and allure. "They're perfectly healthy, sir," she stammered, her voice barely a whisper. Lily, a wisp of a girl with eyes like forget-me-nots, was used to harsh words from her overbearing mother, but this stranger's icy indifference felt different somehow. "Healthy, my dear? These beauties look more like they've been dunked in a vampire's bath," he countered, his eyes narrowing on her. Lily's breath hitched. Could this arrogant stranger be...? The corner of his mouth quirked into a cruel smile. "Don't worry, little petal. I won't bite... much." Intrigued and terrified in equal measure, Lily found herself drawn into a whirlwind unlike any she'd ever known. Niklaus Volkov, the brooding vampire prince with a heart colder than his castle walls, needed a flower tender. And Lily, with a touch as gentle as the morning dew, might be the only one who could breathe life back into his mother's beloved garden... and perhaps, melt the frost around the prince's heart. Prepare for a captivating tale of a blossoming love, where a shy flower girl finds herself entangled with a captivatingly aloof vampire. Will their love story bloom, or will the thorns of their past keep them forever apart? __________ Hey lovelies! Guess what? This little flower of a story is getting a refresh! As some of you might know, this was my very first attempt at weaving a webnovel romance, and let's just say...it wasn't exactly blooming with perfection. The plot meandered a bit, and the characters deserved better development. But fear not! I've been struck by inspiration, and a beautiful plot twist is ready to take root! To ensure a smooth transition, I'll be revamping the story one chapter at a time. Get ready for a more captivating adventure with Lily and Niklaus – with a sprinkle of surprises along the way! Happy reading!

Pebble: I Finally Got My Barbarian Build, But it’s Support?!

Alain Dradge (Pebble) was an office worker in his late twenties until he and his best friends received an invite to an exclusive beta for an upcoming game. When they arrive, they are surprised when they find that they have indeed actually become their characters and have been transported to a new world. Our protagonist makes some vital “mistakes” during the character creation and ends up starting his new life on “Challenge Mode.” Now he must navigate a life as a pawn on a chessboard for gods. Excerpt: In one swift moment, Pebble ended the journey of dozens of goblins. He ran them over with the boulder, crushing them on impact, pinching a crowd of them against the walls like a mortar and pestle. The band was playing a guitar breakdown but the vocalist took the mic and pointed at Pebble, “Let’s make some noise for our new brutal boy! Give it up for Pebble!” Pebble never ceased for any fanfare, he simply continued hunting down the stragglers. There were only about a dozen or so remaining and their numbers were dwindling quickly. After Pebble used Cleave a couple more times, there was only one goblin remaining. It was the elder. Glurt’s voice could be heard, but this time it was coming from the VIP box, “KICK HIS ASS!” The goblin looked at the VIP box with pure bewilderment, “All of this…” he choked, “...my whole bloodline, because of a projector?” he sobbed, but Pebble ended his pain with a quick chop of his axe. The band abruptly stopped and loud trumpets started playing, “WINNER!” came an over enthusiastic voice that sounded like an 80’s video game announcer. --- my daily posts have been interrupted due to some transitions in my life currently. I’m posting 3 chapters a week for now, 1700-2000 words per chapter. I’m hoping this will allow me time to catch up and continue a more consistent schedule later. Give this journey a try and I’m sure you’ll have fun! Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis
