In the city of New Haven, where the streets were ruled by gangs and violence was a way of life, a young man named Axel rose to become a legend. Axel was just a teenager when he was forced to join the notorious gang, the "Red Vipers." He was small and scrawny, but he had a fierce determination to survive and thrive in the harsh world of gang life. As Axel navigated the treacherous landscape of gang politics and violence, he discovered that he had a natural talent for leadership. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Red Vipers, earning the respect and admiration of his fellow gang members. But Axel's success came at a cost. He was constantly at odds with the rival gang, the "Black Dragons," and their ruthless leader, Victor. The two gangs had been at war for years, and Axel's rise to power only fueled the flames of conflict. As the violence between the Red Vipers and the Black Dragons escalated, Axel found himself at the center of a maelstrom of gang warfare. He was forced to fight for his life on a daily basis, using his wits and his fists to survive. But despite the dangers and challenges of his life, Axel refused to give up. He was driven by a fierce determination to succeed, and to make a name for himself in the world of gang life. And then, one day, everything changed. Axel received a mysterious message from an unknown sender, offering him a chance to join a secret organization known only as "The Syndicate." The Syndicate was a mysterious and powerful group that operated in the shadows, pulling the strings of power in New Haven. They were rumored to be involved in everything from extortion and bribery to murder and mayhem. Axel was both intrigued and intimidated by the offer. He knew that joining The Syndicate would mean giving up his independence and his freedom, but he also knew that it could be the key to unlocking his true potential. As Axel weighed his options, he was confronted by Victor, the leader of the Black Dragons. Victor was determined to destroy Axel and the Red Vipers, and he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Axel knew that he had to make a decision, and fast. He could join The Syndicate and gain the power and protection he needed to take down Victor and the Black Dragons, or he could refuse the offer and risk everything to maintain his independence. In the end, Axel made the decision that would change his life forever. He accepted the offer from The Syndicate, and joined their ranks. As a member of The Syndicate, Axel was given access to resources and power that he never could have imagined. He was trained in the art of combat and strategy, and he was given the tools he needed to take down his enemies. But as Axel rose through the ranks of The Syndicate, he began to realize that there was more to the organization than met the eye. He discovered that The Syndicate was involved in a complex web of corruption and deceit, and that their true goals were far more sinister than he had ever imagined. Axel was torn between his loyalty to The Syndicate and his growing sense of unease. He knew that he had to make a choice, but he was unsure of what the consequences would be. As the stakes grew higher, Axel found himself at the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse. He was forced to use all of his skills and resources to stay one step ahead of his enemies, and to uncover the truth about The Syndicate. In the end, Axel's journey would take him to the very top of The Syndicate, where he would face off against the organization's ruthless leader. It would be a battle for control, and only one person could emerge victorious. Would Axel be able to overcome the odds and achieve his goals, or would he become the latest casualty of The Syndicate's deadly game? Only time would tell.

Magic academy. Male and female lead characters. A world of sword and magic like any that exist, the only difference is the ones in it and the ones telling it. *No One 17 and Under Admitted because there is some erotic and steamy description in the story and because I'm not sure what the difference between Restricted means compared to No One 17 and Under Admitted, so better be safe than sorry. * All characters are not underage unless stated otherwise, and seriously this is a fantasy setting so no one looks their age. The story may or may not continue, chapters release are not predetermined so it will be short(probably) Any mention of people, places, negative terms/slang, etc that are somehow related to the real world one are should be assumed to be purely coincidence. * New and inexperience hence the long description (Very sorry, but thanks for reading)

Synopsis: My name is Seline Sylvester, and I’m a therapist. I started my career in hopes of helping others heal, of offering solace to those lost in their own minds. But little did I know, I was only running away from my own pain. My boyfriend, Adams, left me broken, and no amount of professional success could fill the emptiness he left behind. Then, everything changed when I was assigned to treat Jason Schneider. He’s not your typical patient—he’s a 32-year-old heir to a billion-dollar empire, seemingly impervious to everything I’ve ever encountered. Aloof, guarded, and carrying an air of mystery, Jason doesn’t fit the mold of someone who would seek therapy, much less need it. He’s more interested in playing games than talking about his feelings, and his wealth only makes him more untouchable. But I can’t help it. Something about him draws me in, a challenge I can’t resist. The more I try to understand Jason, the more secrets I uncover—secrets that make me question everything I thought I knew about myself and about the world I live in. As I dive deeper into his psyche, I realize I might be facing something far more dangerous than I ever imagined. I’m caught between my professional duty and the undeniable pull I feel toward him. Star Struck is my story—a journey of healing, discovery, and the fine line between helping someone and losing yourself in the process. Will I break through his walls? Or will I find myself unraveling in the process?

Han Yichen carries a dark past, and his secrets cling to him like scars on his skin. Will Feng Mei Hiu ever discover love and forge a new future, or will the shadows of his hatred ultimately consume him? ******* "I have been raped, humiliated, betrayed, used, and abused by the people I trusted," Feng Mei Hiu's smile was filled with pain, "the only thing that kept me alive, that made me sane, that kept me from being broken was my anger, my pain, and my faith." Feng Mei Hiu's blue eyes looked tranquil as he spoke. "Faith in myself, that one day I would make them all pay, suffer in more ways than I ever did." He smiled darkly, "I want to put them in hell and watch with a smile as they burn." "Let me stand by you; I can ensure they pay for everything. Just say the word." Han Yichen leaned in closer, their eyes locked with certainty. "You want to support me?" Feng Mei Hiu asked, surprised. "With all I've done, how could you possibly see me as anything but a monster?" "Monster?" Han Yichen embraced him tightly. "You’re not a monster; you’re my guiding star, my hope, my rescue, my angel. You lifted me from the darkness that nearly swallowed me, and now I, too, must return that gift." "I want them dead, Yichen; I want to watch them suffer and burn." "And that's exactly what we shall do, my love; we will burn their empire to the ground."

Can these orphaned siblings and an angry at the world leader, survive on a long forgotten earth years after it was revenged on after most of humanity fled to the stars. [New chapter every weekday!]

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.
