EXCERPT: A letter to Moon Moriarty… "Just like the kingdom where I was given another life, you came and gave me another ray of hope. If you are reading this letter, then I must be long gone from this world, but I want you to know I am still with you. I left a flower in your hands. Please water it and help it grow and spring out in a beautiful way. I hope you will be reminded of me whenever you see her. I want you to train her not in the way we know of, but in the way we would have wanted to live. Help her live a royal life but do not involve her in royalty, for there lies the evil things we may never know of. I know you went to create a world we could live in peacefully and in love, and now, our daughter will be the one to enjoy most of it. Also, I would love if you can take a trip to where we first met. There, I will be waiting for you. In my next life, I will choose you all over again and by then, I hope we meet in different circumstances. I love you. Till we meet again." __Genevieve This is a heart-wrenching tale of sacrifice, resilience and bittersweet romance. This is my WSA 2024 Entry. Support this book with your votes, reviews and comments.

[MATURE CONTENTS, STRICTLY 18+ RATED, PREJUDICE, RACISM INJUSTICE, BL] The allure of dangerous attractions refused to be neglected, and distractions chosen to be explored can lead one into harmful patterns, entrapping him in cycles of addiction, difficult to escape. —---- In the turbulent times of the 1960s, Tommy Jones set off from his small town in Kentucky to Tennessee, instructed by his mother and the turns of life to retrieve his father's possessions, his rightful inheritance as heir to Barnaby Jones, as he was made to believe by his mother. Being denied his inheritance by his 'father's' friend, he was put to the test: "Show me you're more than just a colored kid claiming a white man's legacy. Get good grades, demonstrate your worth, and then we'll discuss your father's properties." Now, situated among all whites and being the only black student, Tommy was mocked. That's a lie! You can't be the son of a white man, talk more Sir Barnaby Jones. You're...a Negro. It's not possible! How could he get the privilege to join the great Shan'titon High School? He doesn't belong here! Just look at his skin sticking out like a sore thumb—peewww! Tommy was better off being poor yet happy with his fellow street brothers at home in Kentucky than being here among rich white kids who had nothing good to say to him. Well, except for… for one Benjamin Sherlock! Benjamin Sherlock, the devil son of a reputable man of the city, is a top senior in Shan'titon High, a gem of the school, the hottest of the school, yet the most vile! He cares less about anyone, he's known for his nasty self, wickedness, and rudeness! But does he give a damn? No! Tommy gets to know that he needs this guy to successfully get through this school, for protection and all. What's more, this guy seems to know his 'father' Barnaby Jones! He could really be of good help, but as they say, distractions and attractions can be very disadvantageous. Tommy is stuck in an entrapping master (Head Honcho) and servant (Host) relationship with Benjamin, standing as the epitome of pleasure, the giver of bittersweet addiction, and the full emblem of intimacy and lust! Tommy is caught up in this distraction in human form, and his actions stand as an attraction. Could this lead to love, or will it die as just a game? Benjamin: "Tommy Lee, the name fits you like a glove." Tommy: "How'd you figure that out, huh? That that's my whole first name, man?" Benjamin: "I know a thing or two, Kitten." Benjamin knows something Tommy should not know—about his father, about his past, his identity, and about his birth. And he is willing to hide it, or could he? Could he when his intentions are being doubted and he is being put to the test? Benjamin: "Kitty cat." Tommy: "Yeah, man?" Benjamin: "Let's say, just saying, Barnaby Jones isn't your old man. What then?" Tommy: "Lawdy, how can that be? Hahaha! If it ain't him, then who in the world would be my old man?" Benjamin: "A man with a reputation bigger than the whole dadgum state of Tennessee and Kentucky combined. Just sayin'.” (Update Time is irregular currently until further notice 2 - 5 chapters daily) A/N: Send A Message Through Reviews And Comments.

Ever pondered what chaos would ensue if Guts from Berserk stumbled into a "Slice of Life" anime? Or if Solo Leveling unfolded in a medieval landscape, complete with knights and courtly intrigue? How about the most divine irony: God reincarnated as a lowly slave? Welcome to a novel born from the depths of my most twisted and outrageous imaginings. It's a journey that spares no punches and offers little comfort to the faint-hearted or easily offended. But hey, if you're here for the ride, buckle up. To set expectations: I am not the literary offspring of J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) or Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). This tale may be somewhat unrefined, sprinkled with typos and moments of grammatical rebellion. Yet, what it lacks in polished finesse, it delivers in unrestrained absurdity and wild, unpredictable fun.

[Reifer Inhalt] Der Körper einer Meerjungfrau ist ein wahres Schatzkästchen. Ihre Tränen bilden die prächtigsten Perlen, ihr köstliches Blut ist eine euphorisierende Droge für Vampire, ihr üppiges Haar wird zu feinster Seide gewebt und ihr zartes Fleisch ist bei Werwölfen begehrter als das Ambrosia des Himmels. Die Kreaturen der Nacht mischten sich in die menschliche Gesellschaft, schöpften aus der Wolle der Aristokratie, verhüllten ihre vorgetäuschte Unschuld und ihren Adel, und ihre Grausamkeit machte sich weiterhin über die Schwachen und Machtlosen her. Genevieve Barlow, kurz Eve, war eine außergewöhnlich seltsame junge Frau. Sie hatte ein verführerisches und betörendes Wesen, wobei sich ihr vierundzwanzigjähriges Ich seit ihrem achtzehnten Geburtstag äußerlich kaum verändert hatte. Sie hatte die Verwaltung getäuscht und einen Abschluss gemacht, um ein besseres Leben führen zu können. Das Merkwürdigste von allem war, dass Eve ein Geheimnis hatte, das sie mit niemandem teilte. Sie betritt das Haus von Moriarty, nicht nur um Geld zu verdienen, sondern auch um Antworten auf das zu finden, was ihrer Mutter vor fast zwei Jahrzehnten zugestoßen ist. Leider verlaufen die Dinge nicht immer so, wie man sie geplant hat. Trotz ihres vorsichtigen Wesens und ihres Wunsches, nicht gesehen zu werden, fällt ein kaltes Augenpaar auf sie, das sich bald weigert, sie aus den Augen zu lassen.

[Mature Content] The body of a mermaid is a vault of treasures. Their tears formed the most splendid of pearls, their exquisite blood a euphoric drug for vampires, their luscious hair woven into the finest of silk, and their tender meat sought after by werewolves more than Heaven’s ambrosia. The creatures of night mingled within human society, fleeced in the wool of aristocracy, veiled in their portrayed innocence and nobility, their savagery continued to predate on the weak and powerless. Genevieve Barlow, Eve for short, was an exceptionally strange young lady. She had an alluring and beguiling nature, where for her twenty-four year old self had barely changed in appearance since her eighteenth birthday. She had fooled the administration and had gotten a degree so that she could have a better life. Most odd of all was that Eve had a secret she shared with no one. She enters the house of Moriarty, not just to earn but also to find answers on what happened to her mother nearly two decades ago. Unfortunately, things do not always proceed as one planned. Despite her cautious nature and desire to stay out of sight, a cold pair of eyes falls on her, that soon refuses to leave her out of sight.

God was creating a legendary tale! First, it needed a bit of faith to create a leader for people; then add some man-eating demons to make people fight. Throw in some love... and a bit of hatred, rebellion, and impulsiveness. Finally, add a well-known protagonist with a slightly scheming personality. Otherwise, it would be boring. D*mn... that's too much! In a small alley on the streets of London, Sherlock slowly emerged from the shadows, carrying a head. Blood dripped from his spine onto the ground. Very well, the murderer had been dealt with. The next challenge was proving that the murderer was indeed the murderer.

Sherlock Holmes had other reasons to confront James Moriarty and was on the trail of Irene Adler, who knows his big secret. In addition to this, Mrs. Watson has another family, the Swindhit, who have generated a tense relationship between Dr. Watson and his wife, aggravated by the reckless behavior of the famous detective. Therefore, Sherlock Holmes was obsessed with liquidating the organization's top boss, James Moriarty, arresting Irene Adler and unmasking those strange relatives of Mrs. Watson, while Dr. Watson suffers from a strange incurable neurological disease. So, what happened before and after the fake death of Sherlock Holmes? Despite his limitations, Dr. Watson tells a great story that includes: further escapes of Irene Adler, secret lover of Sherlock Holmes and known as the countess of crime, details about the Swindhit and the organization, the disappearance and return of the mysterious Mrs. Watson, and the possible revelation of the big secret of Sherlock Holmes, which has made the famous detective tremble and suffer too much... Of course, Sherlock Holmes, who worked undercover for three years as Sigerson, fighting against the Swindhit and the organization, after his masterful return faces enormous challenges: protecting his dark secret from the threats of Irene Adler, achieving the return of Mrs. Watson and taking down the almighty organization, which constitutes the greatest menace to European governments, running illegal businesses and financing organized crime, throughout the world.

After spending years in an isekai world with a stupid system, when Zion's strength powered up to an unimaginable level, his system smirked and asked, "Didn't I say I'll help you?" Zion sneered and refused to speak a word. What help? The system's only help was showing him ways to powering up, but it was Zion who made all the effort! But the system was still unsatisfied. "Why aren't you speaking? Praise me! I made you so powerful!" "Really. Thanks a lot!" Zion spoke through his gritted teeth and decided to endure until he met the system's creator face-to-face to repay the grudge in a friendly, welcoming way! . . . . . . Zion was known for being one of the smartest detectives. Many young people labeled him as a modern Sherlock, but he died a horrible death in an explosion and transmigrated to a mysterious realm. “Oi, servant 52, pour water in my cup.” A female voice echoed in his ears just when he appeared in the new world. Servant 52? He opened his eyes and looked around. Later he found out that as a human, his fate was worse than animals! Humans were all slaves who were meant to be controlled by wealthy masters! Then he turned his gaze toward his own 'master' who was carrying a sword and charging at the enemy. A bloodthirsty aura surrounded her that made her seem invincible. Why did his master have to be so powerful?! Just when he was thinking how he would survive in this world, a system appeared in front of his eyes. Hope returned to him in the form of a system as he sighed in relief, but to his dismay, the latter slowly revealed his perverted nature. It turns out that he got a bizarre, twisted system that had a thing for girls of all races! How would he live in a society full of people who despised humans with a mediocre system that was the polar opposite of 'smart'? *** Disclaimer: This novel includes the topic of human slavery. Just warning you guys. (Nope, not sexual slavery, but the kind of slavery where you would humiliate them verbally, blame the humans for everything even when it's not their mistake, and basically abusing humans, but I promise, it'll get better) Update schedule: One chapter a day at GMT +8 5:30 am.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional private detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Referring to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, Holmes is known for his proficiency with observation, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic, which he employs when investigating cases for a wide variety of clients, including Scotland Yard. First appearing in print in 1887's A Study in Scarlet, the character's popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional tales appeared from then until 1927, eventually totaling four novels and 56 short stories. All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914. Most are narrated by the character of Holmes's friend and biographer Dr. Watson, who usually accompanies Holmes during his investigations and often shares quarters with him at the address of 221B Baker Street, London, where many of the stories begin. Though not the first fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes is arguably the best known, with Guinness World Records listing him as the "most portrayed movie character" in history. Holmes's popularity and fame are such that many have believed him to be not a fictional character but a real individual; numerous literary and fan societies have been founded that pretend to operate on this principle. Widely considered a British cultural icon, the character and stories have had a profound and lasting effect on mystery writing and popular culture as a whole, with the original tales as well as thousands written by authors other than Conan Doyle being adapted into stage and radio plays, television, films, video games, and other media for over one hundred years. This is one of the cases of Sherlock Holmes. Giancarlo Rossini Real ePublisher
