Reckless

The bully's redemption

In The Bully's Redemption, Kamsi, a bright yet ordinary girl from Nigeria, moves to Washington, D.C., eager to start a new chapter in her life. But her dreams of blending in are shattered when she crosses paths with Xavier, the infamous bully of Washington DC International School. Their first encounter is a collision—both literal and figurative—leaving her humiliated and furious, and him intrigued and unrelenting. After a chaotic first day, Kamsi rushes out of the elevator, vision obscured by towering boxes. She slams into a figure, sending everything tumbling. Xavier(sneering): "Are you blind or something?" His tone is cold, his smirk arrogant. Kamsi, though shaken, snaps back. Kamsi (sarcastic): "You should be asking yourself that. Are you blind?" His eyes flash dangerously, and his voice cuts like ice. Xavier: "I don’t waste time on stupid and ugly girls like you." Kamsi’s heart sinks, but anger flares. Kamsi (muttering): "Did he seriously just—" Before she can react, the elevator doors close, leaving her seething. Later on, Kamsi, fresh from a calming shower, steps onto her balcony for a moment of peace. The city’s lights stretch before her, but her newfound tranquility shatters when she spots him—Xavier, lounging at the far end, cigarette in hand, his eyes glinting with mischief. Xavier (mocking): "Didn’t know our neighbor was a nudist." Kamsi, heat rising to her cheeks, glares at him. Kamsi: "Didn’t know our neighbor was a jerk." Their banter cuts through the night air, the tension between them thick. But before she can retreat inside, something unexpected happens. Just as Kamsi begins to feel relief, thinking the encounter was over, a voice pierces the night air: Xavier (amused): "I wouldn’t be so sure of that." Kamsi freezes, spinning back around just in time to see Xavier doing something reckless—scaling the wall between their balconies. Her heart races as he climbs with surprising ease, each movement deliberate, until he swings over the railing and lands in front of her with a smirk. Kamsi(alarmed): "What the hell are you doing?!" Xavier grins, stepping closer, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of arrogance and intrigue. Xavier (nonchalant): "Thought I’d keep you company. You looked lonely." Kamsi’s pulse quickens, torn between disbelief and something else—something deeper, stirring beneath the surface. Kamsi(nervous, defiant): "This is crazy, Xavier. You can’t just—" Xavier (interrupting, voice low): "I can do whatever I want." His eyes hold hers captive, and the space between them shrinks as the tension rises, leaving Kamsi breathless and unsure of what will happen next. --- From the moment Kamsi stepped into Washington DC International School, her life became intertwined with Xavier’s, whether she wanted it or not. Behind his cold, sharp words, there’s a deeper intensity, a magnetic pull she can’t ignore. As Xavier’s arrogant provocations continue to draw her in, Kamsi realizes that this dangerous game is only beginning—and it’s one that could change them both forever. In *The Bully’s Redemption*, Kamsi’s world is thrown into chaos as she navigates life in a new country, battles the infamous bully of her school, and discovers that even the most feared tormentor may have vulnerabilities hiding behind his sharp edges. Their story is one of fiery clashes, unexpected revelations, and a dangerous connection that neither of them saw coming.

Unexpected interest

“Tell me you don’t feel it too. Tell me you don’t think about it.” I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to find the strength to walk away, to not let this get any further. But when I opened them again and saw the raw emotion in his, I was lost. I couldn’t deny it anymore. “I do,” I whispered, my heart racing as I met his gaze. “But that doesn’t make this okay.” Caden’s thumb continued its soft caress on my cheek, sending sparks down my spine. “I know it doesn’t. But I can’t stay away from you, Anita.” My resolve cracked. In that moment, I hated how much I wanted him, how much I wished things were different. My mind screamed at me to walk away, to leave this mess before it destroyed everything, but my body betrayed me. I leaned into his touch, the space between us shrinking until it was nonexistent. Caden’s lips hovered over mine, his breath warm against my skin. “I shouldn’t do this,” he murmured, but there was no hesitation in the way his hand slipped to the back of my neck, pulling me closer. And then, we were kissing again. This time, it was different—more urgent, more desperate. The kiss was a collision of all the tension, the frustration, and the longing that had been building between us. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me against him, and I felt the hard planes of his body pressed to mine. I melted into him, my fingers tangling in his dark hair as the world spun around us. Everything about this felt reckless, dangerous, and yet, I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to stop. The taste of him, the way his lips moved against mine—it was all-consuming. But reality crashed in far too quickly. Caden suddenly pulled back, breathing hard. His forehead rested against mine as we both tried to catch our breath. “I can’t… I can’t keep doing this,” he said, though his grip on my waist remained firm, as if he didn’t want to let go. “I know,” I whispered, feeling the weight of our actions settle in my chest. The guilt, the confusion, it all hit me at once. “We’re making things worse.” He stepped back, his jaw clenched. “This has to stop. I need to figure things out with Dami.” I nodded, though my heart ached at the thought. “Yeah. You do.” We stood there in the silence, the moment hanging heavy between us. Everything had changed in an instant, and there was no going back.

To Keru himself, the price he paid was still unknown. *First time writer If I would describe the MC's inner personality at the beginning he would be someone that's: Reckless Conflicted Result-Oriented Emotionally Driven Pragmatic This isn't gonna be a harem novel, just wanted to get that out there ahead of time. The MC at beginning is someone who's impulse control has deteriorated severely. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he's reckless and emotionally-involved in delicate and nuanced situations. However, he usually gets bailed out by his natural gifts and talents which allows him to continue with his carefree attitude... until it inevitably doesn't. I really want to tackle this part of the MC's character and what are the effects this kind of mindset has to an individual and those around them. *Credits for Image to KELLEPICS https://pixabay.com/images/id-2847724/ Free for commercial use under Pixabay License with no attribution required

NECRO-Driver Dawn

(WARNING: This story is heavily anime inspired. This story takes inspiration from other stories. I DO NOT take credit for any of their works, or ideas. This story is my own original work of art, but was created with both my ideas, and the inspiration from various anime, video games, and movies. The hope is that if you like my story, then perhaps you may give these other stories a chance as well. I edit my own story, so certain parts may change. As I continue to write, I will begin to notice more and more errors and inconsistencies. Please bare with me, as I am always trying to fix such errors. Thank you for your support) Our story takes place on the planet Sarina, where a major conflict is on the horizon. After overpopulating Earth, the humans had no choice but to move to another planet for extra living capacity. Because of the difference in gravity in the two planets, special living accommodations had to be made. This planet also had vast resources that could be used for technological advances. In addition, the effect of having less gravity made the humans able to think and do more. They began to advance in all sorts of weaponry, AI, and mental capacity. They began to think of endless possibilities, and if everything they knew was really what it seemed to be. With all of these advances, the human race looked to be more prosperous than ever. However, there is always bound to be some sort of conflict among humans. And that conflict came in the form of revolution. Tired from corrupt leaders using their power to make everyone but themselves poor, an uprising group called The Principality of Shirina, staged a violent coup. With promises to lead Sarina with peace, freedom, justice, and security, many followed their way. However, there were some, including the master of Shenrei Densetsu, Master Tazz, who would not stand idle for such a violent coup. When people began to speak out against them, they were violently executed. Believing his master to be dead, The Principality took in Shenrei, and turned him into a Shirinan. During this time, The Principality had done everything they could to stop anything related to the belief of the Sarlen, their only opposition. The Sarlen, a celestial race with a mix of human blood and pre human magic, powers come from the belief that they exist, thus they fade away if nobody is actively believing in them. With nobody left to oppose them, The Principality of Shirina (POS) have been able to rule freely with little opposition. With all of their power and resources, they plan to work on new weaponry and continue to spread their influence of power. With Shenrei as the commanding officer of her military, The “Mistress of Evil” Shirina, believes that she has nothing to worry about. The legend of the ”Violet Shock” has instilled fear into all of those who even dare oppose The Principality. Unbeknownst to them, Shenrei has deep hatred for the entire family, and seeks revenge for the “death” of his master. After hearing of a great power in Wabba City, Lady Shirina sends Shenrei and some soldiers to go on a reconnaissance mission. With Shenrei wanting to indulge in his own ambitions, however, he simply leaves. However, the soldiers become reckless, and do things their own way. Despite the efforts of four friends by the name of Jin, Khan, Sonjo, and Skia’, they are entirely powerless to save Sarina. The Sarlen, up to this point, have been gone for millennia. Ever since The Principality had taken over, their life essence had been constantly waning. With their power regained, the Sarlen look to defend those who had forgotten them. Led by C, Ja’Skaar and Baron Hampton, they have declared war on The Principality. The battle for the fate and future for all of Sarina, has officially begun.
