"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.

What if the end of the story wasn’t the end of everything… but the beginning of something unexpected? Mario Richter, a 45-year-old manga fanatic from Hamburg, Germany, thought his life had ended the night he read the controversial final chapter of One Piece. Heartbroken, furious, and betrayed by the story that shaped his life, he steps out for a smoke — and then plummets from his apartment balcony. But instead of dying, Mario wakes up in the middle of the ocean… in the world of One Piece. Rescued by none other than Monkey D. Luffy himself, Mario finds himself aboard Luffi's first ship— younger, stronger, and somehow alive in a world he once only read about. With no idea how or why he got here, Mario is thrust into a crew of living legends, where his knowledge of their journey clashes with the unpredictability of real life. As he struggles to earn a place among the Straw Hats, Mario is appointed an unexpected role: Quartermaster, tasked with organizing supplies, managing logistics, and keeping the chaos of the crew (barely) under control. But he soon discovers that this world isn’t quite how the manga portrayed it… and some events are unfolding differently than they should. Can a lifelong fan rewrite his own story while sailing with the crew he always dreamed of joining? Or will his presence change the course of their adventure forever? "Straw Hat's Quartermaster" is a fanfiction about second chances, the power of stories, and what it means to truly belong — set in the vibrant, unpredictable world of One Piece.

Sixteen-year-old Eli Crowe never had the chance to truly live. Born frail and confined to a hospital bed, he spent his lonely days escaping into dark fantasy novels, fascinated by the mysterious Shadow Mages who walked between light and darkness. While others dreamed of becoming heroes, Eli wished only for the freedom to choose his own path. When his quiet life comes to an end on a snowy winter night, Eli awakens within an endless realm of shadows before the Primordial Goddess of Shadows. Seeing the lonely boy who endured a lifetime of suffering without losing himself, she grants him a second chance. "Leave your weakness behind... and become the Shadow Mage who walks between light and darkness." Reborn in a world of magic, kingdoms, dragons, monsters, demons, ancient ruins, and legendary adventurers, Eli begins his new life with one simple goal—to live for himself and answer to no one. Cold, quiet, and mysterious, he has no desire to become a hero or a villain. He follows his own code, helping whoever he chooses, destroying anyone who stands in his way, and walking a path that belongs to him alone. Registering as an adventurer, Eli travels across the world exploring deadly dungeons, hunting powerful monsters, uncovering forgotten secrets, and protecting innocent people—not because of justice, but because he decides they are worth saving. Whether aiding humans, elves, beastfolk, demons, dragons, or slaves seeking freedom, he leaves behind legends wherever he goes, often without realizing how deeply he changes the lives of others. But the more powerful the Shadow Mage becomes, the more chaos follows him. Royal conspiracies, corrupt churches, noble feuds, secret cults, ancient monsters, rogue adventurers, false gods, hostile divine beings, summoned heroes, and Demon Kings all begin to take notice of the mysterious young man who walks through darkness without fear. Some seek to control him. Some seek to eliminate him. Some swear loyalty to him. And many unexpectedly fall in love with him. Through battles fought side by side and unbreakable bonds forged in life-and-death situations, queens, princesses, adventurers, nobles, commoners, slaves, goddesses, and women from every race gradually gather around Eli. To his constant confusion, misunderstandings and unexpected circumstances often leave him at the center of romances, political marriages, and trouble he never intended to create. As his legend spreads across the continent, Eli quietly grows stronger with every battle, determined to surpass every mage who came before him and become the world's greatest—and most feared—Shadow Mage. In a world that fears the darkness, one mysterious antihero will prove that shadows are not meant to be feared... They are meant to be mastered.

One Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation The so-called "Twin Electro Archons" are nothing more than a tired tale spun by a dying Shogun. The so-called "Free-Spirited Bard" is merely the wind taking the form of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place. The so-called "Immortal Zombie Qiqi" is simply an old man's desperate plea on the verge of death—one that a god happened to hear. Li Mo had been reincarnated a hundred times into the world of Genshin Impact. One more lifetime—one final mission—and he would be granted ten wishes. In his hundredth life, he became a storyteller in Liyue. "On that day, the Thunder Demon split his own heart in two, saving his dying sisters." "On that day, the wind took the shape of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place." "On that day, an old man, facing the dying herb-gathering girl, forcibly wielded the power of his own wish, granting Qiqi a glimmer of hope." The emotion ran deep, and the entire audience erupted in applause. The Raiden Shogun, Shenhe, Qiqi… even the Tsaritsa herself was moved to tears. Hu Tao's eyes glistened as she asked, "Storyteller… is that boy really dead?" --- Raw: 原神：璃月港说书，胡桃泪目 Author: 万字更新
