The Woman In The Fifth

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Siaara has a dangerous gift—she can hear people's thoughts, but only five times a day. She has always been careful, never letting anyone discover her secret. Until he walked in.

No one was ever supposed to. But now, the rules have changed. This man knows something about her, something she doesn’t even know about herself.

Avyzhia is a regular office lady who enjoyed playing MMORPG on her free time, apparently too much that it somehow even caused her untimely death. For some reason though, she woke up not in the afterlife but actually in the world she got so familiar with through her computer screen, and in the body of the character she worked so hard to cultivate. For someone who considered the World of Genus as a reality, being reincarnated in it is a dream come true, more so if it's in the body of the character she spent countless of hours nurturing. She couldn't wait to live her second life to the fullest. But everything seems to be more complicated than she thought when she found out that she's actually part of a prophecy and conspiracy that was not in the guide books and walkthroughs she buried herself with in her previous life. The worst part is, not only did everyone around her considered her dangerous, but it seems that the most powerful being in the continent is also after her life. .-. .~. .π. .~. .-. After the Dragon Emperor conquered the continent 2 decades ago, he couldn't be bothered by anything anymore, not the curse that a guardian deity put on him, nor the prophecy that foretold of his end. That is until he heard of a rumor about a survivor of the race that he drove to extinction many years ago. With the intention of finishing what he started, he did not hesitate to come after the said survivor only to encounter something very unexpected, that curiously made him feel unknown emotions, pushing him to do crazy things that never crossed his mind before... to the point that he didn't mind offering her his life, if it meant he can make her his.

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Story written by AnnieBeck Title: THE FIFTH ELEMENT A thousand years ago, there was an ancient world that was ruled by gods and goddesses. But when it was time to go back into the heavens, these mighty beings bestowed some of their powers to four trusted mortals that served them.

The mortals couldn't allow anyone to posses more than one elemental power as it might bring inbalance to the world, so they had to sentence the innocent new born to death.

I had to change this book to a novel because I started publishing it as a fanfic, but it is not fanfic, it is my original work, so I'm keeping both to keep my readers updated. The cover is my work too. This story is not as gruesome or violent as regular Chinese stuff here, because I'm European, so it is kind of easy to read but it still has hot content, twists and an interesting storyline. The setting ranges from ancient, medieval to almost modern. This is uncontracted book , so enjoy the free reading:-) #beastman, #hotblooded, #playfull, #gamesofwits, #tiger, #snake, #eagle,#scorpion, # dragon, #adventure, #romance,#sexy

Title: Lilith: The First Woman's Rebellion Synopsis: Born from the same earth as Adam, Lilith was meant to be his equal but Eden had no place for a woman who refused to kneel. When her desire for freedom clashes with divine law, Lilith defies God Himself, uttering the forbidden name that grants her escape but curses her for eternity. Exiled from paradise and stripped of her rightful place, she vanishes into the unknown where darkness and power await. In the shadows beyond Eden, Lilith transforms into a queen of the forsaken, gathering fallen angels, restless spirits, and those cast aside by the celestial order. But even as she builds her own kingdom, the wound of betrayal festers. When Eve is created to replace her, Lilith vows to become the eternal thorn in humanity’s side yet beneath her vengeance burns a deeper question: What if freedom is worth any cost? As the centuries pass, Lilith’s legend grows witch, seductress, demon queen but the truth is far more complex. From ancient Mesopotamia to the heart of the modern world, she navigates a landscape of divine plots, mortal ambition, and the constant threat of celestial retribution. When an ancient prophecy reveals she may hold the key to toppling the celestial hierarchy, Lilith must decide: Will she reclaim her place in paradise, or will she destroy the very gods who cast her out? Blending mythology, mystery, and rebellion, Lilith: The First Woman’s Rebellion is a sweeping tale of power, identity, and the eternal fight for freedom. In a world where submission is law, one woman’s defiance could change the fate of creation itself. (These are list of books that stated LILLITH as the first woman on earth) The Book of Enoch: Specifically, in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69, verses 4-5, Lilith is described as the first woman created by God, equal to Adam in status and power. However, she refused to submit to Adam, and God banished her from the Garden of Eden. The Babylonian Talmud: In the Talmud, Lilith is described as a demon or evil spirit who is said to have been created from the same earth as Adam. The Quran: In some Islamic traditions, Lilith is mentioned as a female jinn (spirit) who refused to bow to Adam. The Apocryphal Book of Adam and Eve: This ancient text tells the story of Lilith's creation and her rebellion against Adam. The Gnostic Gospels: Some Gnostic texts, such as the Gospel of Philip, mention Lilith as a divine being or a symbol of feminine power. It's worth noting that the story of Lilith has evolved over time, and different interpretations and mythologies have emerged. However, the Book of Enoch provides one of the most well-known and influential accounts of Lilith's origin.
