Bound by Storm & Shadows

AnnGuslavia
[Mature Content] [Dual POV — Written in 3rd Person] In the haunted kingdom of Druumari, where spirits whisper through the fog and the dead walk among the living, Seraphine Shadewalker rules as a queen both feared and cursed. Bound to the land by an ancient magic that refuses to let her go, she walks the line between life and death, haunted by ghosts who demand her obedience. When Prince Kaelen Stormrider, heir to the seafaring kingdom of Vyrdantia, leads a failed invasion against Druumari, he finds himself trapped—not only by chains, but by a curse that refuses to let him leave. Forced to work under Seraphine’s rule or risk losing his soul to the spirits, Kaelen becomes a reluctant ally, his hatred for the enigmatic queen burning just as fiercely as the attraction neither of them dares to name. As tensions between their kingdoms rise and an internal enemy threatens to tear Druumari apart, Seraphine and Kaelen must set aside their enmity to survive. But the deeper they delve into the kingdom’s dark secrets, the more entangled their fates become. When betrayal strikes and Kaelen is forced to choose between freedom and the woman he swore to destroy, Seraphine must face the ultimate price of her cursed existence—love, or survival. Enemies by fate. Lovers by defiance.

Let's Play SM

“Witches who visit our establishment are all major masochists. They are not ordinary masochists; rather, they are extreme masochists.” This was a line I had heard many times before. I recalled it as a phrase that appeared in the introduction of a game I had played most recently. Yesterday, I played with this game hack and then fell asleep. Today I have became the new ace of the SM Club, 〈Euphoria〉, in the game. Now, I have to satisfy the various play and kinks of these witches or die.

One Piece: Madness of Regret(DRAFT)

A Lovecraft- inspired darker, grittier One piece fanfic. A fanfic based on emotion and madness. A fanfic not for the faint hearted. Slow-paced story. Gore and and a lot of gruesome scene. ---------------- A draft. Frankly, speaking the story is not for most demographic of readers. I know that. Will I change the story? Nope. This story is for the absolute few who love something different. Let me be clear on that once more. The first few tens of chapter are not the selling point of the fanfic. 2 chapters a day. Scrriblehub has an entirely different cover pic. And I don't own One piece. Just the OCs.

RESONANCE OF THE CROWN AND THE MULTIVERSAL ODYSSEY

Eihcnyl Setneuf was once a pampered princess—now she’s an exile, sent to Neo-Faerkennen Academy, where magic, technology, and cosmic mysteries collide. Branded a “problem student” after a string of unexplained incidents, she must learn to control a rare quantum resonance known as the Crown Power. At her side are six unique allies—an elf-engineer, a dwarf-marksman, a half-fae dream-weaver, a Heartfire mage, a Seraphim-coder, and an exiled sentinel—each mastering their own blend of arcane arts, alien technology, and secret cultivation paths. Together, they forge Prism-Anchors: multidimensional beacons of unity that hold back the hunger of the Void Lords, malevolent forces born of cosmic emptiness. From the steam-forges of three-dimensional Faerkennen to the abstract planes of thought, emotion, and myth, from draconic volcano-realms to Seraphic sky-cities, they gather divine rites, draconic embers, angelic canticles, and legendary technologies. Their journey spans thirteen dimensions—each a crucible of trials that test not only their powers, but their compassion, their convictions, and their bonds of friendship. “Resonance of the Crown and the Multiversal Odyssey” is an epic cultivation-tech-myth saga about finding strength in empathy, forging unity across every race and realm, and shining a beacon of hope into the darkest void.
