Last Moon: Rebirth, Love, and the Werewolf Rockstar

What if you were given a second chance at life—but swore off love forever? Mizuki Wolfe, the celebrated author of Last Moon, stunned the world when she abruptly ended her decade-long engagement to childhood sweetheart Pablo Rossi. But what truly turned heads? She happily played matchmaker, steering her billionaire ex into the arms of another woman. Why? That’s the question no one dared to ask. Unbeknownst to the world, Mizuki has lived this life before. In her first life, she chose love, only to discover it was an illusion—leaving her shattered and full of regrets until her dying breath. This time, reborn and wiser, Mizuki has made a promise: no more illusions, no more fairy tales, and definitely, no more romance. Then came K. A sultry-voiced rockstar with mismatched eyes of gold and blue, K has millions of fans swooning and an unshakable belief in destiny. For years, he’s been searching for his other half—the one who would finally complete him. The moment he sees Mizuki, he knows: it’s her. But Mizuki isn’t interested in love, and K isn’t interested in giving up. In a battle of cynicism and fate, will Mizuki’s walls crumble, or will K learn that even destined love requires more than belief to survive? A story of second chances, soulmates, and the courage to let your heart believe again. ---------------------------------------------- “Miss Mizuki,” he greeted, his voice deep and smooth, the kind of voice that belonged in an expensive whiskey commercial—or better yet, a lover’s whisper. Mizuki blinked. Then again. Her mouth opened to respond, but what emerged was less “hello” and more “garbled wheeze.” Lizbeth, her ever-loyal assistant, jabbed her sharply in the ribs. “Hey,” she whispered, her tone sly, “I think the leading man just fell in love with you at first sight.” “Shh!” Mizuki hissed, her face heating up. She tried to regain her footing, figuratively and literally, but managed only to trip over her own feet. She lurched forward, arms flailing in what she hoped looked like an intentional movement. Hizuki, lightning-quick, caught her before disaster struck. His hands were firm yet gentle as they steadied her. Up close, those stunning eyes were even more hypnotic, and the faint scent of cedar and rain seemed to linger around him. “Are you all right?” he asked, his lips quirking into a smile that somehow managed to be both kind and devastatingly alluring. Mizuki’s brain short-circuited. She realized she was still clutching his arms and yanked herself back so fast she almost stumbled again. Lizbeth leaned closer, whispering gleefully, “You okay? Your heart’s racing.” “I want to run,” Mizuki muttered, barely moving her lips. “What?” Lizbeth asked, her grin widening. “I want to run,” Mizuki repeated in a fierce whisper. “Far away. To another country, maybe.” Lizbeth snickered. “Flight at first sight, huh?” “Yes!” Mizuki hissed, shooting a panicked glance at Hizuki, who was still watching her like she was the only thing worth noticing in the entire room. His gaze was so warm, so intense, it could have melted steel—and definitely her composure. She shot a look at Lizbeth, who was no help at all, and then at the nearest exit. She was already planning her escape. Update Schedule: Start February 14, 2024 Update: daily at midnight follow me on IG: @schreient_rui Like the story? gimme coffee :D https://ko-fi.com/schreient

Tale of the Mythical Beast Tamer

In a realm where humanity’s survival hinges on taming the primordial beasts that rule land, sea, and sky, ten-year-old Kai is branded a failure after bonding with a pitiful Rock Sparrow—a creature synonymous with weakness. But when Kai awakens a forbidden gift, **Beast Insight**, he uncovers the truth: even the lowliest beasts harbor mythic potential. Armed with the ability to see evolution paths invisible to others, Kai embarks on a perilous quest to transform his sparrow into a legendary Skyfeather Roc. Yet the materials he needs lie in the deadliest corners of the world: Stormheart Crystals guarded by tempests, Phoenix Down plucked from ashes of rebirth, and Essence of Gale siphoned from the lungs of hurricanes. Along the way, he forges bonds with misfit beasts discarded by society—a scarred Azure Wolf, a flame-drained Salamander, and a tree spirit cursed with rot—each hiding secrets only Kai can unlock. But power attracts envy. Ruthless Tamers, greedy nobles, and ancient beasts who resent humanity’s arrogance conspire to crush him. As Kai defies the limits of what a Tamer can achieve, he unravels a darker truth: the line between “tamer” and “beast” is thinner than anyone dares admit. And the gods who forged these bonds are watching… ***Tame or be tamed?*** In this epic saga of growth, betrayal, and soaring ambition, Kai will rewrite the laws of evolution—or become another cautionary tale in humanity’s fragile reign. --- **Tagline:** *"Weakness is an illusion. Every beast—and every soul—has a path to godhood."*

As Lucien deciphers the text, his mind unravels, unveiling glimpses of a reality not meant for mortal eyes. Eldritch entities from the Beyond Veil stir in their slumber, their influence seeping into the cracks of reality, twisting the city’s foundations with inexplicable horrors. The Iron Conclave and the Midnight Council, two factions seeking control over Lumeria’s destiny, have unknowingly tampered with forces far older and far more malevolent than they can fathom.

As he ascends the mystical Path of the Seer, he begins to glimpse the truth—that the world of Lumeria is but a fragile illusion masking an abyssal nightmare. With each step forward, Lucien must navigate a labyrinth of forbidden knowledge, eldritch abominations, and rival factions vying to either harness or destroy the cosmic horrors stirring beneath reality.

Destiny Of Eternity

Rana - The Quest for Eternity In the brutal and unforgiving world of Rana, survival is a constant struggle, and the laws of existence are harsh and unyielding. The concept of immortality and eternal life does not exist—death is inevitable, and illusions bind the souls of the living. Rana is a world where selfishness reigns, and only the strongest, most ruthless can survive. Shree Heng, a man of unparalleled intellect and ruthless ambition, is determined to defy the very nature of existence. In his first life, he was a normal student, living in a world of simplicity, until a tragic accident sent him to Rana. There, he was thrust into a cycle of suffering and brutality, where every day was a battle for survival. After 200 years of endless misery, Shree Heng’s spirit was broken, but his thirst for power and transcendence never waned. Over the course of 600 years, Shree Heng's journey led him down dark and forbidden paths, and he eventually became a coward, consumed by fear and regret. But fate had more in store for him. Surrounded by evil spirits, he sought out a mysterious garland—a relic that could reverse time itself. Using a Rana insect, Shree Heng went back in time, seeking to change his fate and achieve what was once thought impossible: immortality. Driven by a single, unwavering goal—to escape the illusions of Rana and attain eternal life—Shree Heng delves into forbidden knowledge, ancient rituals, and dark powers. He manipulates those around him, forming alliances with other powerful beings like Nyxara, a manipulative master of illusions, and Varek, a manipulator of life force. But as his obsession grows, so too does the price he must pay. Shree Heng's journey leads him to the horrifying truth: immortality is not just a myth—it is a trap, designed by ancient entities to keep the world in eternal suffering. To break free from this cycle, Shree Heng must confront the very forces that govern Rana and challenge the nature of reality itself. But with each step closer to his goal, he risks losing everything—his humanity, his identity, and even his very soul. In a world where betrayal is common, and every alliance comes with a price, Shree Heng must face the ultimate choice: to break the illusion and risk unraveling the very fabric of existence, or to accept the brutal reality of Rana and live with the knowledge that immortality was never meant to be. Rana is a dark, philosophical journey into the depths of human ambition, the futility of immortality, and the consequences of seeking to escape the illusion of life. In the end, Shree Heng’s quest for eternity may not lead to freedom, but to an even greater truth—the painful realization that some illusions are meant to remain unbroken. --- This synopsis captures the essence of Shree Heng’s journey in Rana—his relentless pursuit of immortality and escape from illusion, set against the backdrop of a cruel and brutal world where every choice has a cost. The story explores deep themes of ambition, morality, and the consequences of seeking power beyond the natural limits of existence.

Major Project: Tartarus

Tartarus, The world sculpted by celestial hands, the angels descended from the far reaches of the cosmos, bearing the edicts of the Creator. They came as guardians, bringing order to the boundless depths of Tartarus. Yet, beneath the veneer of divine law, deception festers—an Evil unseen, a whisper in the dark that even the great entities fails to perceive. From the flow of time itself, a man is sent—a mortal from Earth, chosen by the Angels of Time. His purpose? To stand against the encroaching catastrophe that lurks unseen, waiting to consume Tartarus. But he does not seek the mantle of a hero. Shackled by scars of the past, he rejects the fate thrust upon him. Yet fate is relentless, and the tide of destiny drags him forth, forcing him into the role he so despises. To be a hero in Tartarus is not to wield a sword against mere foes, but to unravel a truth buried beneath epochs of lies. The histories recorded in sacred tomes are but illusions, their words spun to shroud an unspeakable secret. And as he walks the path of revelation, he glimpses the echoes of worlds long lost, of ages that the gods have conspired to erase. But knowledge is a double-edged blade. The deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes—this is no mere deception of a single world, but a tapestry of falsehood woven into the fabric of the cosmos itself. What lies beyond the veil is not simply the truth of Tartarus, but the truth of existence. He will bring light to the darkness. But the darkness is endless. May Theo rest peacefully.
