Excerpt: "What are you..." I started to ask, but Chris locked his lips with mine, cutting off my words. It was an angry kiss, like he was pouring his frustration into me. I tried to struggle, but he held me tighter and deepened the kiss. I eventually gave up, knowing it was futile. He let go of my lips, and I could feel a sting on my mouth. I saw a bite mark on his lip as well. We looked at each other, and I could feel the tension growing in the car. We were alone, with me on top of him, and our faces inches apart. Before I knew it, our lips touched again, but this time it was different - it was slow and sensual. I moaned as his tongue started to explore my mouth, and the kiss inevitably deepened. I closed my eyes and surrendered to the feeling, my hands roaming his chest as his hands went under my shirt and rubbed my bare back. I started to feel hot all over and pulled my jacket away. He trailed his lips to my collarbone and sucked on it. When I started to move my hips over his already hardened bulge, he held my legs to stop me. "No," he said, his voice restrained. Still in the fog of the moment, I asked in a whisper, "What?" My breath came in pants, just like his. He replied, "Let's stop here, princess, or we'll do the other thing you talked about." It took me a second to understand, and when I did, I immediately got off his lap and returned to my seat. My mind went to Sarah, and I realized I couldn't come clean to her now. I glared at Chris, who smirked at me and started driving again.

His mysterious reincarnation takes an even stranger turn when he encounters a young woman who addresses him as "Lord" – though he has no memory of such a title. As Dev navigates this new reality, he uncovers dark secrets and horrifying truths that lie beneath its surface. Each revelation brings him closer to understanding his role in a fate that could reshape reality itself. Expectations: - Slow Burn story - A protagonist's compelling growth from vulnerability to strength - A vast, intricately crafted world with deep lore - An innovative power system that encourages reader speculation - Romance - Secretive organizations with hidden in shadows - A blend of mystery and horror elements - Powerful emotional moments I started writing this because I wanted to create a world and a power system that captures the awe of the supernatural in a way that transcends human comprehension. Much like how, in our own universe, we may never uncover all its mysteries, I wanted to tell a story that inspires countless theories—none of which offer a definitive answer to the truth. That idea grew and evolved into The Eye Behind Mist. If you decide to join me on this journey, thank you! I’m having a lot of fun creating this, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much. ***Warning: This is a work of fiction intended for mature audiences.
