Xerxes

Celestial Academy of Mystics

What if you wake up on the morning of your fifteenth birthday to discover a system screen floating over your head? It means you are a Mystic, one of the hundred people born each year who have access to the Celestial system and powers of the universe. What if when you go to get registered as a Mystic at their Academy you discover that all the slots are taken? There are already a hundred mystics in the system. You are a strange anomaly that has never happened in a billion years. Well, you must be none other than Xavier Xerxes. The weird teenager who was bullied for his strange white skin, long snowy hair and pink eyes is now also a Mystic who shouldn't exist. It couldn't have gotten any worse for him. Now he has to attend Celestial Academy to get basic training in leveling up and growing into the full potentials of his powers so he can slay demons and battle monsters from real to realm. He has the opportunity to grow from a human to an Immortal, saving the world along the way. Cool, right? But there's one little problem. Xavier doesn't do anything that could pass off as stressful. No, he prefers to read books in the library. He loves to write stories and poems. He cries through romantic movies. He has never walked farther than a meter in his life. No sporting activity whatsoever. He hates violence. Now they expect him to carry a sword. He is supposed to turn his body into a weapon of destruction, and his mind into a fortress of power. What the hell? How is he expected to survive a day at Celestial Academy when he has been home schooled since he was a child? How is he supposed to kill a bloodthirsty troll when he is scared of spiders? Exercise drills, push ups, war games...meditating? Never before in his life! Right. We all have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll find a way not to die on the first day.

When two worlds meet...

Stephen Xerx returns home after a 6-year absence, seeking respite from a traumatic incident. His family, the Xerx Clan, one of the world's wealthiest, is in turmoil after the death of his brother, Ethan, who was meant to inherit leadership. Stephen, the reluctant second son, grapples with the pressure to take over as clan leader amid his father's insistence. Stephen's return stirs tension within the Xerx Clan, as his father urges him to embrace his destiny. The fate of the mega-rich clan, controlling trillions of dollars and influencing top countries and industries worldwide, hangs in the balance. Time is ticking for Stephen to decide whether to accept leadership or risk a new lineage taking over the Xerx legacy. In a parallel narrative, Cassie Blake faces challenges in her world, living with her aunt and compelled to work as a companion to men to support their household. Her cunning attempts to escape this predicament form a significant part of her struggle. In contrast, Cassie's world is a stark contrast of hardship and survival. Her clandestine night job becomes a source of both shame and necessity, fueling her determination to break free from the chains of her aunt's control. Stephen, unaware of Cassie's hidden struggles, becomes a beacon of support in her tumultuous life. As their worlds intertwine, the central question emerges: Can two individuals from such disparate backgrounds find common ground? The Xerx Clan's looming leadership crisis and Cassie's clandestine life converge in a story of unexpected connections and shared burdens. After the collision of their worlds, a deep bond of friendship blossomed between Stephen and Cassie. However, beneath the surface, Stephen found himself developing romantic feelings for Cassie, who reciprocated but kept her emotions concealed. When Stephen discovered Cassie's hidden struggles, he made the difficult decision to distance himself from her. Month later, returning to find Cassie independent and thriving, Stephen confronts the undeniable truth – his love for her never truly faded. Yet, complications arise as he learns that someone else is expecting his child. Caught in a web of emotions and unexpected turns, Stephen grapples with the complexities of love, responsibility, and the consequences of decisions made in the past. Writer: ADAMS_SDA

I'm in love with my wicked wife

Zena was a college student who enjoyed transmigration novels, so she knew all the rules of the game. She also knew that it never happened in real life. But after an accident, she woke up as a despised actress who had just given birth! And unlike her transmigration seniors, she knew nothing about this world she transmigrated to or the woman whose body she inhabited. After it became increasingly clear to her that she was hated by everyone, but the babies she just delivered, Zena decided to make her own rules based on what she had been reading. "I have to be the villain in this. It's only logical. I am the villain and that incredibly handsome man, my husband, must be the male lead." This means in order to survive she has to stay away from him and the female lead, but who is the female lead? Xerxes Zhen had the perfect life. He was good-looking, intelligent and well-respected -the sole heir to the richest corporation in the country. But after a forced arranged marriage to Xian Mina, his life went off the rails. He despised his wife and after three years, she finally agreed to divorce him. She already signed away their unborn babies. But- "What do you mean she lost her memories?" Xerxes asked, his brows angled in skepticism. "She is claiming to be someone else, president. We believe it some sort of delusional disorder." The doctor exclaimed. Zena simply wants to survive long enough to survive and get the hell out of here. However, how does she survive without any information? What kind of transmigration is this?! Plus, why does she have such unreasonable affection for babies that didn't belong to her? All she wants to do is stay away from her husband, but she cannot abandon her children for some reason. Plus, someone wants to kill this woman, and she keeps receiving these threatening texts. Is the male lead, not the only one who wants this woman dead? Does she not have any allies? And for goodness' sake, why does he keep looking at her lips like pieces of candied fruit?! *** "What are you doing?" Zena whispered as she staggered backwards to put some distance between their bodies. "What does it look like?" Xerxes replied, his gaze plastered to her lips. Zena swallowed hard and tried to push him away, but his hard body didn't budge an inch. "I'm about to kiss my wife." My wife?! "You said you would rather die than touch me." "Well, I guess I am a dead man then," he said as his head dipped. *** Cover art is not mine. Credits to the original artist.

The Book of Esther

The Book of Esther tells a story of the deliverance of the Jewish people. We are shown a Persian emperor, Ahasuerus (loosely based on Xerxes, 485–464 B.C.), who makes momentous decisions for trivial reasons, and his wicked minister, Haman, who takes advantage of the king’s compliance to pursue a personal vendetta against the Jews by having a royal decree issued ordering their destruction. The threat is averted by two Jews, Esther and Mordecai. Their influence and intervention allow the Jews to turn the tables on their enemies and rout their attackers. This deliverance is commemorated by the inauguration of the Jewish festival of Purim on the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar (mid-February through mid-March). The book confronts the modern reader with important themes, the evils of genocide and racism. Esther’s character matures over the course of the narrative. As a girl she is recruited for the king’s harem because of her physical beauty. But at a key moment in the book, she rises to the challenge to risk her life for the salvation of her people. At that point, she transforms her status as queen from a position of personal privilege to one of power and public responsibility. Esther’s uncle, Mordecai, appears first as an adoptive father, whose solicitude for Esther leads him to the king’s gate, where he foils a plot to assassinate the king. When he learns of the edict against the Jews, he encourages Esther to confront the king. The book ends with Mordecai as the king’s chief minister.

Zaser's Game

I'm glad the school got these systems for the school's teachers. We can study for hours for extra credit, so that we can take these home to play the most popular game on the market. The systems are somewhat pricy, but all the adults have them... In anycase, I'm glad the Xerxes Cooperation allowed this. It allows for the basic package with Virtual Reality Game Anime Dreams that I guess people from "Your" Earth. We can't travel yet, but i hope we can soon, think of the breakthroughs! Anyway, the game... Got lost there for a second, can't believe I had flashbacked. "I think I'll go with a Assassin/Sorcerer, I like the idea of a mage who summons a knife out of no where and can cloak in shadows." I say, to my friends that I probably will stick away from. They'll be popular. I get crowded easily, I don't want people following me around because I saved them. I just moved here, even, and i don't know my "friends" very well. If anything, I'll hide in their shadows, and sneak a few bits of treasure from them, if we stay together... "Alright, well, I'll try an Assassin / Berserker!" One of the more popular kids in the group says. I nod at that, and he smiles at that, clearly proud having impressed the new kid. I think his name is Alex? "Necromancer Assassin!" The smaller guy says. There's two others here, both girls. One I'm crushing on. Her friend, is the other. The guys are liking her friend, and they talk away about skills and what made their choices, and why, she, the girl I like, just tells me: "DeathKnight Assassin." And turns, blushing. "That's quite the goal. Hide well, fellow shadowkin." I say, and duck under the table. I quickly get back up, and she's blushing. "That's the bell, come on, out, you unruly shits." The teacher, a nice guy, he's done his best to keep us settled, and he tries to be cool. This was the last class of the day. And week. The girl I like followed me outside... "C-Can we go on a date, in game, as that will give us more... time?" She asks, and she's blushing... "Yes!" I shout, blushing as well. "Who... Should I look for?" She asks. "Um... I kinda want to see if I can put in a noise that I can do, but can't choose..." I tell her, shifting between different voices I've found I can do, and she bursts out laughing. "Zase, get in the car." My mom says, driving up. "Mom, she asked me out." I say, panicked, facing her. "Oh. Get a condom. Maybe two. Hope you have a way to get my son home. Zaser, you know our address." She says, Driving off fast. "OH MY GOD." I fucking shout. My fucking life... (Author Note: Hello, welcome, new book! I have others. I got a little carried away with this synopsis. I use these as part of the first chapter, and explain the situation. I write for long amounts of time as a hobby, but I've had writers block in other books. Either that, or I ended the book. I recommend Sacaroth's Ascension, Sacaroth's Cycle, And then Player Zero. I am writing these in a canonical order, based on time space dilation differences. There is lore, you just have to think a bit. I have Notebooks as of now that contain lore, but they are private. I plan to write equal Lore. Extra, even. Please, enjoy my books, if you read them. Who knows, maybe one day, they'll be something that has some worth. I know its not top grade, but please, have a great day.)
