Emberlyn

"Who are you?" The words hit him like a physical blow. Ethan's eyes snapped open to find himself alone in the market square, the concerned Emberlyn of his desperate hallucination nowhere to be seen. The real Emberlyn stood several feet away, staring at him with cold confusion. "Huh?" The sound escaped him like a wounded animal's whimper. 'Wasn't she just beside me? How did she suddenly end up over there?' His mind reeled, trying to reconcile the vivid embrace he'd felt with the harsh reality before him. "Who are you?" Emberlyn repeated her question, her expression filled with doubt and growing irritation. Ethan felt the world tilt beneath his feet. This was Emberlyn—his Emberlyn—the woman who had pressed kisses to his hand, who had marveled at his cooking, who had whispered sweet words against his back just yesterday morning. But she was looking at him like he was a complete stranger. "What do you mean? Who am I?" His voice was barely a whisper, trembling with disbelief and growing horror. … "EMBERLYN! PLEASE! PLEASE BELIEVE ME! I'M YOUR HUSBAND!" Ethan's cry shattered the afternoon air, raw and desperate and utterly heartbroken. The crowd that had gathered around this spectacle began to murmur among themselves. To them, Ethan was nothing more than a madman, a pathetic figure claiming to be married to the legendary Emberlyn Scarlet. After all, everyone knew she was unmarried—a fierce, independent hunter who had never shown interest in romantic entanglements. The secret they had kept so carefully to protect their love had become the very thing that destroyed it. With no proof of their marriage, no witnesses to their relationship, Ethan's desperate claims sounded like the ravings of a delusional stranger. "Shut up! You're nothing but a liar!" someone shouted from the crowd. "Don't you dare come near Lady Emberlyn again!" another voice added. The crowd's anger turned physical. Fists flew, boots connected with his ribs, and Ethan found himself at the center of a storm of violence. He curled into a ball, protecting his head as best he could, but made no effort to fight back. What was the point? His world had already ended. Through the rain of blows, he caught glimpses of Emberlyn watching with detached interest, as if observing a mildly entertaining street performance. The woman who had once kissed his wounds better now watched impassively as strangers inflicted new ones. When the crowd finally tired of their sport, they left him broken and bleeding on the cobblestones. The market square, which had moments ago been filled with shouts and violence, fell unnaturally quiet. Heavy clouds had gathered overhead while Ethan wasn't paying attention, and now they opened up in a torrential downpour. Rain fell in sheets, soaking through his torn clothes and washing the blood from his face in pink rivulets. "Emm... Berr... lyn..." he whispered, his voice lost in the sound of falling water.

Cryptomining Supervillain

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

savage kings

This romantic fantasy will tear your heart apart. Every twist delivers hard-won truths, sweeping emotion, and an unforgettable adventure. By day, Sienna Kane is a quiet librarian. By weekend, she’s a thrill seeker pushing her limits—training relentlessly for her first triathlon. But nothing prepares her for being torn from her world and thrown into Bestia, a savage realm where beasts rule and predators wear human skin. Hunted by creatures that shift between monster and man, Sienna is saved by Gideon, the formidable Wolf King of Juno. He wastes no time telling her the truth: she is his destined mate. Sienna wants none of it. She wants answers. She wants safety. Most of all, she wants to go home. Lost, frightened, and cursed as a bad omen by the very kingdom meant to protect her, Sienna finds herself isolated—except for Gideon, whose instincts insist she is far more than she appears. As she plots her escape, something impossible awakens within her: the power of fire. And with it, the unsettling realization that Bestia may be bound to her fate. Her escape from Juno is anything but clean. Thrust from one realm to another, Sienna crosses paths with powerful rulers—Rocco, the seductive Sea King; Talon, the unyielding King of Avion; and Aron, the enigmatic King of Bolivé. Wherever she goes, change follows. Balance shifts. Old prophecies stir. Sienna soon learns the truth behind her arrival: she is the reincarnation of Eriu, the Goddess of Abundance—and with that power comes devastating responsibility, dangerous conditions, and a fate she never asked for. To survive Bestia, Sienna must adapt to its brutal laws, embrace bonds she fears, and make an impossible choice. Along her journey, she will face betrayal and devotion, forge unlikely alliances, and uncover strengths—and desires—she never knew she possessed. Kings will rise against one another for her love. The world will bend beneath her presence. Will Sienna bring peace—or chaos—to Bestia? Who will she choose when love becomes a battlefield? And will she ever find her way back to the human world… or has Bestia already claimed her heart?
