Kiss Of Deception

In a world of magic crimes increased to shed light to the cases Asher Winters search for answers as the world slumbers in darkness

Kiss of the vampire The Girl with a sharpe sword Kiss of the Vampire In a world where darkness threatens to consume humanity, one man stands as the last beacon of hope.But what happens when that beacon discovers his own light burns with an ancient, inhuman flame? > *"Sometimes the monsters we fight are not the ones we should fear the most."* Deyviel's story begins like many others - a noble hero/hunter fighting against the rising tide of vampires and monsters that plague our world. Yet beneath his human exterior lies a truth so profound it threatens to shatter everything he believes in. He is no mere mortal, but a half-dragon, destined to be humanity's true protector. But destiny, as they say, has a cruel sense of humor. As betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and loved ones fall like autumn leaves, our hero finds himself walking a precarious line between savior and destroyer. Framed by those he swore to protect, abandoned by those he trusted, Deyviel faces his greatest battle not against the vampires, but against the darkness growing within his own heart. **When even love turns to betrayal**, and the pure-hearted defender begins to question whether humanity deserves salvation at all, one question remains: Can the light of friendship pull him back from the brink of vengeful destruction, or will the very people he once protected be forced to stop the monster he may become? Genre: amalgamation

But when his heartfelt confession is met with rejection, he realizes he may have been searching for love in the wrong place.

Could it be the playful and caring Vaishu, who has always been by his side? The intelligent and composed Shruti, who holds a hidden connection to the temple? Or someone he never even considered? With each clue bringing him closer to the truth, Harsh embarks on a heartfelt journey to uncover the identity of the girl who stole his first kiss—and perhaps, his heart. A story filled with romance, mystery, and the bittersweet nostalgia of first love, Finding the Girl Who Kissed Me is a tale about the moments that shape us and the people who leave an unforgettable mark on our hearts.

In a cosmos where gods and Archons dictate the flow of fate, one man defies destiny itself. Kael Ardyn awakens in the Abyss—a man who should not exist, marked by a sigil that defies reality itself. With no past and only fragmented memories of another life, he soon learns the truth: his very presence is an anomaly, a mistake the universe seeks to erase. Hunted by cosmic forces and entities beyond comprehension, Kael discovers a power unlike any other—a magic that can rewrite existence. But it comes with a condition. The more he wields it, the closer he comes to annihilation. To survive, he does not seek honor. He seeks control. Manipulation, deception, and ambition become his weapons as he infiltrates kingdoms, shatters alliances, and bends even the strongest of heroes to his will. When he sets his sights on the hero’s beloved, a forbidden romance becomes a dangerous game of power and desire. Yet in the shadows lurks something even more terrifying—an entity that whispers of Kael’s true purpose. The Archons fear him. The balance trembles. And as the gods hesitate, Kael takes what is his, one piece at a time. For if fate rejects him, he will become fate itself.

But, she didn’t know- She was the main reason for his damnation- For her, a lonely Prince turned into a ferocious monster, burning down the numerous kingdoms into ashes. ------ [Extract from the Story] In the solitude of an eerie night, I met that stranger again. He was standing tall and straight like a towering spruce, his profile dark against the moonlight as his long and slender fingers were wrapped firmly around the hilt of his unsheathed sword. His deep voice growled furiously while pulling out the sharp and shining blade from the bandit’s heart, “Aren’t you daring enough to lay your dirty fingers on my woman?” Drops of blood tainted the velvety carpet of the grass and the body of the bandit fell on the ground, numb and lifeless. I was awestruck by the smooth strikes of his sword and it was impossible to steady my erratic pulse. Suddenly, his cold and burning gaze fell on me. Though I never met him before, he still felt the closest person; an inexplicable sense of deja vu washed over me, creating an absurd familiarity that messed up all logic. Approaching me, he cupped my chin tenderly in his warm hand as his thumb gently wiped a drop of blood from my cold cheek, making my body shiver alarmingly. My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist, "Don't bother about that, My love. Did I make you wait for long?" 'My love!! Is he supposed to be my damn lover?' __________ ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you, …’ ~ Lucian Mavis.
