The Mark On The Wall And Other Short

Mark un día descubre que puede controlar el fuego, ahora junto a sus amigos deberá llevar a cabo la mayor misión de su vida

Rejected. Humiliated. Broken. When Celeste’s fated mate betrayed her for a stronger she-wolf, she lost everything—her home, her status, her dignity. Cast aside as weak, she had no choice but to leave the only life she had ever known. But fate wasn’t done with her. Taken in by a powerful Alpha feared across the packs, Celeste’s suffering should have ended. Instead, it was only the beginning. Her body burned with an unbearable pain, her mind tormented by visions of something ancient—something terrifying. She was changing, evolving into something out of legend. A wolf that shouldn’t exist. As whispers of prophecy swirl around her, her ex-mate begins to regret his choice. But Celeste is no longer the helpless woman he left behind. And this time, she’s not alone. Her second-chance mate is nothing like the first—ruthless, powerful, and utterly unwavering in his devotion. But with enemies in the shadows, a past that refuses to let go, and a woman who believes she is entitled to the Alpha by Celeste’s side, survival will take more than just strength. It will take strategy. It will take revenge. And when the time comes, Celeste will show them all that what remains after heartbreak… is something far more dangerous.

Diana Hinsdale was once a fool—an arrogant, power-hungry Empress who ruined her own life. She was exiled, trained into a warlord, and died miserably. Now, she’s back. And this time? She just wants to raise her son in peace. But life has other plans. A dragon contractor reminds her of their deal to stop an invasion. The Underworld King trips onto her freshly cleaned rug. The Magic Tower Master falls onto her. Meanwhile, her ten-year-old son watches calmly. “Mother, are you divorcing Emperor Father?” “…What?” “Can I follow my stepfather?” “WHICH STEPFATHER?!” Now, rumors are everywhere: ⚔️ The Empress has a harem! ⚔️ The Empress is stealing all the powerful men! ⚔️ The Empress is cooler than the Emperor! And the Emperor himself? Furious. “Are you cheating on me?” Diana, deadpan: “You cheated first.” All she wanted was a quiet life… now she’s accidentally overthrowing the Emperor.

But a chance encounter with a mysterious white snake sets her on an unforeseen path. Now, with the monsters lurking in the shadow, she has one goal: survive, grow stronger, and uncover the truth behind her fate. Survival is just the beginning. The real war is yet to come.

As the rebellion overthrows the old order, a new empire emerges, driven by a ruthless ruler whose rise Gabriel inadvertently enabled.Haunted by the weight of his actions, he flees from his family, his past, and the dangerous ties of the court. On the run, Gabriel must deal with shifting alliances, hidden enemies, and the growing power of the mysterious alpha whose mark he carries. As the empire's grip tightens and ghosts from his past resurface, he must decide whether to confront the forces threatening to engulf him—or risk losing himself completely in a world that regards him as either a pawn or a weapon.

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch!

"As the Supreme Commander of The Wall, my duty is clear: to hold back the threats from the south—mutant monsters, ogres, cyclops, or... hopefully not... the return of the orcs. The kings and lords of Middle Earth do not care. To them, we are just a bunch of 'Outcasts,' exiled criminals and soldiers pushed to the margins. That’s fine. It's better if they stay out of our way. Corrupt politicians rarely care about real security." He looks down at the Outcast barracks below, where the central headquarters commands the entire Wall, separating the south from the main continent. Wisps of smoke rise from the kitchens, carrying the scent of salty, stale soup. The Outcasts atone for their sins or suppress their grief through dangerous missions in exchange for a few gold coins, following the rigorous standards set long ago. Such is life at The Wall. "I, Oldman, am not a religious man. But I interpret the legacy of past eras as a reminder: The world has never truly been at peace. The evil forces of all ages—fragments, orcs, or dragons—will always lurk. Humans, dwarves, elves, whoever they may be, could end up killing each other, driven by cunning deceit. And now, the only barrier holding back the southern threat is The Wall... and us, the Outcasts. Perhaps history will remember us as nameless heroes, or perhaps it will forget us. But as long as I stand here, I will not allow the monsters from the south and other darknesses to spread across the continent again." "I am Oldman... In a world that has cast us out, we stand amidst the darkness. We have no land, no name, only this path. We are the shadows behind this wall. We are the forgotten guardians of the world. We are the Outcasts, and we will endure, or die on our path."

Renji Aoyama is the kind of person everyone likes but no one remembers. He has talent but lacks consistency, jumping between hobbies, ambitions, and routines, always quitting before he can master anything. Surrounded by friends who excel in their own fields, Renji believes he could be great—if only he had discipline. If only he had focus. Then he watches a movie about a blind girl whose split personality could "see." The idea grips him. If the mind can create something beyond its limits, what’s stopping him from doing the same? He dives into research, experimenting with methods to bring out a "perfect" version of himself. But nothing happens. Or so he thinks. One day, he hears a voice—his voice, but sharper, more confident, more refined. At first, it feels like an older brother guiding him. The new personality, who he names Shin, helps him in ways he never imagined—acing tests, handling social situations, and fixing the flaws Renji always hated about himself. But as the days pass, Renji begins to question: Who is really in control? And if Shin is everything Renji should have been… then what does that make him? As his sense of self starts to unravel, Renji will discover that Shin’s existence isn’t as simple as he thought. Because this "new" personality? He may have been there all along.

"For every choice, there's regret". the collapsing cinders of my last breath, Eclipse, one of the 8 hunters, said to me. Reality in dissonance... I can't change the past, and the future even harder. With this undying Darkness within me, who can set me free?

Even if it meant becoming an actress herself. And Jaden? He’s the perfect weapon in her arsenal. But in the entertainment industry, Power surpasses power. And there he was, Noah. Noah. The king of the entertainment industry. Feared by many and had the lives of many wrapped around his fingers. He met Emily 2 years ago for the first time, snot mixing with tears, her broken glasses sliding down her face- she kept screaming at him “You can’t die! Not today!”. She saved him, and he owes his life to her. But now, she doesn’t remember him. Also she has changed. She almost looked nothing like the ugly woman he saw that night— Mascara streaking down her blotchy cheeks, glasses bent and crooked, hair disheveled, looking utterly destroyed, a walking catastrophe of raw, ugly pain, far from what he was seeing now— who is this woman? This isn’t a love story. This is a war. And Emily? She’s the prey. Would Noah be her Prince Charming that saves her?

-------------------- *Title: "Whispers in the Walls"* For years, the old house on Maple Street had been abandoned, its peeling paint and overgrown ivy making it a perfect subject for local urban legends. But when Eliza and her brother, Sean, inherit the house from an estranged aunt, they decide to renovate it and make it their new home. As soon as they move in, strange things begin happening. At first, it’s small—objects moved just out of place, an old piano playing a single note by itself at night. But then, Eliza starts hearing whispers, faint at first, but growing louder as days pass. They come from the walls—soft, unintelligible murmurs. One night, Eliza wakes to find a message carved into the wall in what looks like dried blood: *“You shouldn’t have come.”* Sean dismisses it as a prank, but Eliza can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. The whispers intensify, becoming clearer and more urgent, pleading for them to leave. Desperate, Eliza digs into the history of the house and uncovers a terrifying truth: her aunt had been involved in occult practices, attempting to summon a powerful entity. But she failed—trapping the entity in the house, bound to the walls themselves. Now, Eliza and Sean must figure out how to break the curse before the entity uses them to finally escape. -------------------

Am I going insane? The thought slithers into my mind the moment I wake up, cold and disoriented, in a place that feels more like a nightmare than reality. My head is empty, my memories wiped clean, leaving behind only a suffocating void where my identity should be. The walls around me are smeared with something dark—blood, maybe. Symbols, jagged and unfamiliar, carve into the surfaces as if someone tried to leave a message… or a warning. But none of it makes sense. Nothing here makes sense.  I try to grasp at something—anything—but the harder I reach, the faster it slips through my fingers, like smoke dissolving in the air. My pulse pounds as I force myself to move, each step foreign, like I’m controlling a body that doesn’t belong to me. A name. A purpose. Something to tell me who I am. But there’s nothing. Only fragments, pieces that refuse to fit together. Then the games begin. Survival. That’s all it’s supposed to be. Do what you’re told, follow the rules, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll make it out alive. But I learn quickly that this isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. It’s about twisting reality until I don’t know what’s real and what’s a lie. The other players are just as lost, just as desperate, but I can see it— But they aren’t like me. Some of them know more than they’re letting on. Some of them… aren’t afraid. The more I search for answers, the more the world unravels. Reality bends. Faces blur. Voices whisper from places they shouldn’t. Every time I think I’m close to the truth, it twists away from me, leaving me drowning in questions I can’t answer. The line between what’s real and what’s in my head has thinned to nothing, and I don’t know if I can trust my own mind anymore. Who am I? Maybe it’s better that I don’t know. Maybe knowing would break me beyond repair. Or maybe… maybe I was never meant to leave this place at all. I used to think I was just confused, just lost in the chaos. But now? I was definitely insane.

Kaima never imagined that a simple departmental bonfire night could change so much in her life.

CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING Started: May 22, 2020 I was born in this world having the sex organ of a man. So basically, I'm a man. However, I could get pregnant, too, like female species. Why? Oh, it's because I'm an Omega, specifically a recessive one. That is my second gender. I've never felt troubled with my second gender before like other omegas. I've been in such a protective and loving family. My mother always sheltered me with a lot of loving and care. My father was always there to protect and guide me. I also have two incredible older brothers. They're twins, yet they watch and love me in their own way. I also have my reliable beta best friend. He's my partner in crime, and I'm so thankful to him. Like I'd said, I never felt troubled about my second gender, but that was before I've met my 'fated mate'. The person who was sent by God to love me. And... my fated mate was really unexpected. Because even before I found out that he's my mate... he's already part of my life.

The political machinations of rival suitors and an impending war force Azalea into a desperate fight not only for Zaydon’s survival but also for her freedom. Caught between duty, love, and revenge, Azalea must summon her strength to defy a destiny written in blood and forge her own path forward—before it’s too late.
