The Mistress Of Spices

Have you ever experienced a day so bad you just died? Tell me about it. There I was, this scrawny high schooler always on the receiving end of bullying, and then boom, I'm playing hero to this little kid about to be pancake city beneath some wheels. And here's the kicker—I take the hit instead. Talk about instant payback. But instead of coming to in the back of an ambulance or, you know remaining a goner, my eyes pop open to this huge shiny blue moon, some celestial messenger in gleaming gear, and a set of stairs made out of actual starlight. So, it wasn't just bad luck that left me flattened out like a human pancake—I was picked. Chosen by who, you ask? Well, a super spooky mouthless and noseless god of eldraen decided I was the lucky one to get a big fat destiny plopped on me as if it was some group project I never asked for. Turns out, I'm meant to be the "Child of Starlight," the sole individual who's got the chops to take down the Dark Lord Hadeon, who's come back from the dead. And this Hadeon guy? He's not your average Joe wizard; he's the most powerful sorcerer there's ever been. Okay so typically, this is where I'd freak out and bolt. But something's up. Turns out, magic's a real thing. And guess what? I've got it. Not parlor tricks, either. I'm wielding power I never dreamed of..." Okay so here's the sticky part. Hadeon isn't just strong – man, that guy's is also way too tough, and he's got this bunch of followers convinced that reviving him is top-notch. What about me? I used to be the kid nobody noticed in high school, plus I've got this chatty sky-being giving me advice, a realm that's giving me side-eye, and not a single tip on being the brave one. Still, I didn't stick around after kicking the bucket just to watch everything go down the drain. Hadeon's looking for a brawl? Alright, let's have it out. We'll see who's the boss.

In a world where the boundaries of life and death are blurred by ancient sorcery, Selene, the reincarnated soul of a fallen king, embarks on a perilous journey to break the curse that has bound her and the Phoenix together across lifetimes. As the ashes of her past life stir, Selene must confront the dark sorceress Vespera, whose betrayal set in motion a cycle of rebirth and destruction. With the Phoenix's fire burning within her, Selene discovers that the key to her redemption lies not only in her ability to control the flames of power but in her willingness to make unimaginable sacrifices. Along the way, she encounters the enigmatic Rhenar, a mysterious figure who offers guidance in exchange for his own cryptic agenda. Together, they uncover the truth behind the Council of Shadows-a powerful and corrupt group of ancient sorcerers who hold the secret to breaking the curse. As the forces of darkness gather, Selene must choose between the fate of the world and the very essence of her being. In the end, she faces an impossible choice: to wield the Phoenix's power and save the world, even if it means surrendering her soul to the flames, or to walk away and let the curse continue, sealing the world's doom. In a world where magic, sacrifice, and revenge intertwine, Selene's journey is one of self-discovery, redemption, and the price of power. The Echo of the Phoenix is a tale of love and loss, of strength and vulnerability, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness.

Di malam yang bersalju, Kanna melihat seorang pemuda bertubuh kurus yang duduk di kursi taman. Kanna baru saja pulang dari kantor dan taman itu memang taman yang biasa ia lewati. Pemuda itu tampak pucat. Kedinginan. Tatapannya kosong, ia seperti kehabisan energi untuk hidup. Kehilangan keinginan untuk bertahan. Dengan kasihan, Kanna menghampirinya dan memayunginya. "Anu... Apakah kau baik-baik saja?" Perlahan, pemuda itu mendongak dan menatap Kanna. Matanya berwarna mint. Warnanya terang, tetapi kehilangan cahayanya. Pemuda itu hanya diam. "Di rumahku ada makanan dan minuman hangat. Apakah kau mau mampir sebentar?" Ah, andai saja Kanna ingat pesan ibunya untuk tidak membawa masuk sembarang orang ke dalam rumahnya, niscaya Kanna tidak akan tahu bahwa kedepannya, ia akan dipuja oleh pemuda itu seakan-akan ia adalah seorang dewi. Pemuda itu mulai terobsesi padanya, menempel padanya, dan benar-benar takut Kanna meninggalkannya. Pemuda itu jadi menganggap bahwa ia 'hidup' hanya untuk Kanna. Ia ingin berguna untuk Kanna. Ia tidak apa-apa menjadi 'peliharaan', disakiti, atau apa pun oleh Kanna, asal Kanna bisa tetap bersamanya, ....selamanya.

The jeers followed her like a persistent shadow. "Murderer!" the crowd screamed, their faces contorted in a grotesque parody of the adoration she once commanded. Just months ago, they had screamed her name, their voices a deafening roar as she shimmied across the stage, a beacon of light and pop perfection. Now, their cheers had morphed into venomous hisses, their eyes burning with a hatred that chilled her to the bone. Noelle clutched her lawyer's arm, his face a mask of grim determination. The cameras flashed, capturing her every move, every tremor of fear. The headlines screamed: "Pop Princess Plummets: Noelle Accused of Murder." The irony wasn't lost on her. Her life, once a carefully constructed fairytale of fame and fortune, had become a grotesque tragedy. The trial was a circus. The whispers, the sneers, the relentless scrutiny – it was a constant assault on her senses. Her once loyal fans, the ones who'd plastered her face on their bedroom walls, now reveled in her downfall. They devoured every salacious detail, every whispered accusation, every tear she dared to shed. The verdict was a foregone conclusion. Guilty. Noelle watched the judge pronounce the sentence, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief and despair. Death by lethal injection. ‘At least they did not give me the electric chair’ she thought to herself in a poor attempt at humor. * Months later, a solitary figure knelt at her grave, the wind whipping at his hair. Rain lashed down, mirroring the tears that streamed down his face. "I'm sorry, Areum," he sobbed, his voice hoarse with grief. "I'm so sorry I was too late." He clutched a single, wilted rose, its petals stained crimson, a poignant reminder of the life that had been brutally extinguished. * Noelle is a bright star who has the world at her feet, she feels no guilt about being the other woman coming between a husband and his wife. After all, Evan had been in love with her since they were teenagers. The only reason he married Ma-Ri was because his family demanded it, if he had a choice he would surely have picked her… When she gets wrongfully accused of murdering Ma-Ri, she loses everything and is sentenced to death, everyone including Evan turn against her and she is left to die a miserable death. She is reborn and this time she faces the humiliation of being the woman who is being cheated on. She is determined to end the cycle and not let the future she had seen come to pass, she decides to step out of the picture and focus on her career. In doing so, everything changes, Evan clings to her and refuses to let her go, a mysterious stranger who has been studying her also steps in and decides to fight for a chance to be with her.

Between reality and fiction, between truth and lies, there is a world, a kingdom that lives among US, built on the ruins of human morality and values, and if you are ready for it, you have the freedom to enter and visit it

A dominant Alpha who wants nothing to do with her untamed personality. How would Hailey be able to change the mind of her mate before he eventually rejects her…or was it the other way around?

“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.” She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed. When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding. But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married. ‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’ * After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT. To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention. As she also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice. However... What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan? Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her? EXCERPT: “Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?” Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?” Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan. “You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!” Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost. “Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist. Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them. He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.” Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….” Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.” “What do you mean by that?” she pouted. “What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.” * * * ~Be ready for many twists ~Novel was ENDING at Chapter 400.
