Jules Handcuffed To Case Pulp

My Last Cold Case

--- Zion Jones is a weary police interrogator in Miami’s overwhelmed police department, drowning in paperwork. The weight of unsolved cases and endless reports presses down on him, starkly contrasting the sharp action he craves. Ready to escape the suffocating pressure, he meticulously fills out retirement applications, each stroke of the pen bringing him closer to freedom. As he writes his desired last day, anticipation mixes with trepidation—until a jarring ring shatters the silence. The news hits him like a physical blow: his best friend and partner has been shot during a routine burglary call. The world tilts on its axis, and the mundane paperwork is instantly forgotten. A burning need for justice replaces his desire for peace, rekindling a thirst for action. He’s determined to pursue any lead, willing to shoulder burdens he longed to escape. His next interrogation should be routine: a murder, a suspect, and a suspicious money trail. But as he steps into the room, the air crackles with an unsettling energy. The suspect's demeanor is unnervingly calm, a stark contrast to the fear Zion usually encounters. Chilling laughter echoes in the small room, disrupting the tense silence. As the suspect begins to speak, he reveals intimate details of cold cases—murders stretching back decades—knowledge that seems impossible for him to possess. The specifics are too personal and gruesome to be mere hearsay, suggesting something beyond comprehension. Later, Zion discovers the digital recording is blank, a chilling reminder of the suspect’s uncanny abilities. His report is dismissed, labeled as nonsense, and disbelief washes over him—a frustrating reminder of the system’s limitations. Trying to move on, he finds the suspect's words and laughter lingering in his mind, haunting him. Then, the unthinkable happens: the men he thought securely behind bars start turning up dead, their deaths mirroring the details revealed in the interrogation. Zion finds them in pools of their own blood, the gruesome scenes contrasting sharply with the sterile courtroom environment. Even cold cases, untouched for years, suddenly become active, with victims found in their homes. This resurgence of forgotten crimes sends a wave of déjà vu washing over him, a chilling sense of familiarity that unsettles his grip on reality. He remembers his partner’s death, but a nagging question surfaces: was he ever truly dead? The absence of visual confirmation leaves doubt creeping in, challenging everything Zion thought he knew.

Mystic Mystery. Case (01) The Forbidden Patience.

Synopsis: Limited by knowledge due to royal restrictions yet filled with curiosity since birth, Orin Mystiq tackles the mysteries unfolding in one of the most enigmatic places on Wanderlust: Ouroboros. Here, natural, mystical laws don’t function as expected—and what does work is cranked up to eleven. While Orin can negate several mystical laws and zealously solve mysteries beyond everyone’s comprehension, normal means alone aren’t enough to crack this case. A touch of humankind becomes essential—an element Orin finds utterly monotonous. To shore up his weaknesses and navigate the labyrinth of human involvement, he seeks wisdom from the foremost expert on Wanderers: Hem Lock, a Sentinel burdened by his own demons, manifested in the form of twins, assigned to him as subordinates. Together, they compensate for each other’s shortcomings, delving deeper into the mystical mechanics of Mystica to solve the world’s first “Mystic Mystery." ———||———{{-_-}}———||——— Power System :: TOSHI : An ancient word for beings that have evolved through the essence of any given energy.

Mated To Four, Fated To One

“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs. “What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. “I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further. “Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him. “Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward. “At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me. “That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine. “You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress. “Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me. I lost my balance and tripped. *** Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her. Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house. I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless. Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet. I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen. Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress. I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.

How to Tame a Snake: The Weasel’s Case

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.
