Santa Cruz Shirt Pulp

Some fires start with a spark. Others are impossible to extinguish. Elena Cruz never imagined her quiet life running a small flower shop would collide with the world of ruthless boardrooms, high-stakes deals, and luxury she only saw in magazines. But when a twist of fate—and a spilled coffee—puts her face-to-face with Damien Blackwood, the notoriously cold and commanding CEO of Blackwood Enterprises, everything changes. Used to control, power, and silence, Damien isn’t prepared for Elena’s wit, warmth, or the chaos she brings into his life. She challenges him, sees through his walls, and lights a fire in his heart he thought had long burned out. Their worlds couldn’t be more different—but passion doesn’t care about social class or rules. As attraction grows into something deeper, the line between business and emotion blurs. But when secrets from Damien’s past threaten to burn everything to the ground, Elena must decide: is love worth risking everything?

Damar hanyalah seorang bocah kampung polos yang ceria, seringkali dianggap "bodoh" oleh teman-temannya. Hobinya? Cuma ngobrol santai di bawah pohon mangga sambil mengamati dunia. Baginya, setiap gumaman dan celotehan adalah bagian dari keasyikan hidup. Namun, dunia punya rencana lain. Secara aneh, setiap kalimat asal yang terucap dari bibir Damar—entah itu doa iseng untuk uang segunung, harapan agar tukang bakso segera lewat, atau keinginan melihat ayam berparade—selalu menjadi kenyataan. Kampung kecilnya pun mulai dipenuhi keanehan lucu yang tak terduga, dari bakso yang datang di waktu tak terduga, Pak RT yang tertidur berhari-hari, hingga ayam-ayam yang berbaris seperti karnaval. Semua orang heboh, menganggap Damar anak ajaib, sementara Roni dan Tayo, sahabatnya, mulai pusing tujuh keliling mencoba menjaga mulutnya. Tapi kekuatan polos itu perlahan berubah menjadi bencana. Sebuah kalimat tak sengaja membuat salah satu sahabat terdekatnya, Bayu, menghilang dari muka bumi—seolah tak pernah ada. Yang lebih mengerikan, hanya Damar yang masih bisa mengingatnya. Dunia lain, termasuk Roni dan Tayo, merasakan kekosongan yang samar, tapi tak tahu apa yang hilang. Kini, Damar tidak lagi polos. Ia menyadari beban di balik setiap katanya. Dibantu oleh Roni dan Tayo yang kebingungan, Damar harus memulai perjalanan berbahaya mencari jawaban. Petunjuk misterius dari telur ayamnya dan seorang kakek bijaksana yang menyebutnya sebagai "Penutur Bahasa Semesta" membawa mereka ke dunia rahasia di mana kata-kata bisa membentuk atau menghancurkan realitas. Untuk mengembalikan Bayu dari "Ruang Kosong" dan menghentikan kekacauan yang semakin meluas, Damar harus menguasai "Lisan Sang Pencipta" yang ada dalam dirinya. Namun, di setiap langkah, bahaya mengintai. Ada pihak lain yang juga mengincar kekuatan ini, dan mereka tidak akan segan melakukan apa saja untuk mendapatkannya. Akankah Damar berhasil menemukan "Kata Asli" dan menyelamatkan sahabatnya sebelum kekuatan kata-katanya menelan segalanya?

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

There’s just one catch: Lord Cain only permits male servants in his house. Disguised as a boy, Violet cuts her hair, flattens her chest, and dons a voice-altering band to pull off the deception. Everything goes according to plan—until Cain, a man known for his cold personality starts to take a peculiar interest in her.

Beneath his icy gaze lies a mind fractured by years of affliction by a curse. A curse made by Violet's biological mother: A powerful witch. ************* "TAKE IT OFF!" Violet’s knees nearly buckled at the thunderous command, her chest tightening with panic. The raw anger in Cain’s voice was as sharp as a blade. "My lord! I-I’m a man!" she stammered, gripping her shirt tightly, her fingers trembling as they clung to the fabric. "I don't like other men!" she cried, a desperate plea in her voice since the second she took her shirt off and he discovered that she was a woman was the moment she died. Painfully. Cain’s glare was unyielding, his voice dropping into a growl. "Don’t insult me, You think I do. You kissed me!" Her breath hitched as he stepped closer, his presence suffocating.

Painfully. Glancing away to avoid his gaze when she caught the undeniable bulge in his trousers. Heat flushed her face, her thoughts spinning in desperation at the only idea she could think of to make him back off. 'This has to work. It has to…’

Cauã Maranhão, a 37-year-old doctor from the Lower Amazon - Santarém, Pará - grew up between riverbanks and enchantments. The son of an Indigenous father and a riverside mother, he was raised in a community where life was woven between the visible and the invisible, between human medicine and the whispers of the dead. Since birth, he has carried the sensitivity to see and feel what others ignore. Little by little, he learned to balance two worlds - the physical and the spiritual - with a quiet sense of duty, never romanticizing the burden of being a bridge. Now living in Belém for the past four years, he splits his time between providing medical care to vulnerable communities and investigating supernatural phenomena that accumulate in the forgotten corners of the city. But nothing prepares him for the return of death's voices when he steps inside the old Santa Casa de Misericórdia - a deactivated hospital where children still cry out for help. And it is there that he meets Michel W. Lacerda - a criminal lawyer, elegant, skeptical, and haunted for as long as he can remember. Michel tries to control what he doesn't understand with sarcasm, medication, and distance. But upon meeting Cauã, he realizes that what he's always tried to silence may, in fact, need to be heard. There is something about the doctor - his steady presence, his peculiar way of existing in the world, his silences heavy with meaning - that draws Michel in and disarms him. Together, they embark on an investigation that involves entities trapped between worlds, forgotten rituals, and the marks left behind by lives cut short. As they uncover the past of Santa Casa, an unexpected bond begins to form between them. Cauã tries to maintain focus and boundaries - he's always needed structure to avoid losing himself to chaos - but Michel is not the kind to accept closed doors for long.

But what she got for that was not necessarily what she asked for. She got into a life-threatening accident. Roth Rogers, her family friend, inserted a chip inside her brain to save her. However, it attracted evil people to go after her. To protect her from the upcoming dangers, Roth appointed his adopted son, Samuel Rogers as her bodyguard.

Trapped in a dilemma of science and immortality, Nancy must find out more about her bodyguard, and his connection with all of the mess. **** [Excerpt] "How come you have appeared at my house?" Samuel asked, ignoring her question. "And at such an hour? Are your parents aware?" He was bombarding questions at her after her system told her strange things. Nancy was irritated enough to break his neck, but she kept her composure. "Listen here, you little shit, the system is saying you're hurt. And that's what I asked you. Only I ask the questions here." Nancy clarified before jumping onto the bed, an inch apart from him, as she ran her hand from his shirt's collar to the first button. Who wears dress shirts in bed? Before Nancy could unbutton his shirt, he grabbed her hand with a frown on his face. "I do not know what your system told you, but I must clarify that I am not hurt," Samuel said before moving her hand aside. "Prove it, then," Nancy muttered. "The system says it's a thoracic injury. Show me that it's not." "Even if there is one, I believe you have nothing to do with it." Samuel backfired. Right. Nancy had nothing to do with his matters. But she was dying to remove that shirt from him. No, no! Not for any other business. She just needed to see if the gunshot wound was still there or not. "Which means there is a wound," Nancy said, trying to sound unfazed by his words. "I'll help you treat it." She stood up before walking over to the nightstand opposite them to get the first-aid kit. He watched her with narrowed vision, and she stared back from the corner of her eye. {Probability of survival : 50%... 60%... 65%} {The Wound shows signs of healing. Abnormalities detected.} {Platelet count: Normal.} {Platelet function: Faster than normal.} The system kept raising abnormalities from Samuel as if the system could've never guessed for such an existence. It made Nancy wonder, too. She was sure he was another invention. One way, or another… He was involved. [Note: All my novels are fictional.
