Sullivan's Girl

“Are you hiding, little bird?” His tone was different from the usual. It wasn't the coo she knew, neither was it the song of calmness that often emanated from him. It was vibrating. An allure that in a dark and dangerous way promised a touch that would drift her alive. Annabelle kept her hand to her mouth, her heart racing past its usual rate. She wondered in that moment—now that she knew what he was—if he could hear her heart beat. As if the universe was sending her a response, she felt him stop. Right above where she hid. Holding a shaky breath, she raised her head, feeling the pressure of his feet on the wood that obscured her view from him. Surely, his ability can't go underground. Surely, the scent of watermelon and potatoes would mask her. Yet…the low chuckle that sounded like a sinister laughter made her heart jump, as her legs gave away. He lifted the wooden pallet, their gazes colliding in a fit of what seems to be prey and predator instinct. A tiny smirk was playing on his face now, the same one she was used to. And the evidence was as glaring as daylight. Blood streak marked his crisp white shirt, drooling down the side of his face to his lips—his hands, a crimson bloody mess against rich skin. The stale of another man's death lingering around him, morphing his aura and forever confirming what he is. What he will always be. “Little bird…” “Please…” A huge palm reached out to pat her nest of hair, definitely leaving behind strokes of blood. The metallic iron scent assaulted her nose in the small space she hid. He was after her heart—an organ she feared he might mean in the literal sense. As she remained in the squatting position, watermelon threatening to squash beneath her knees, she felt his pat. Once. Twice. As soothing as always for a creature like him. “I wished upon you little bird. You cannot run from me.” His words were a promise, a seal that bounded them together. Forever. Annabelle takes pleasure in Sullivan's attention and interest. Yet, the knowledge she lacked was that peculiar interest is often overwhelming. Unhealthy. Obsessive. And a path of thorn that tears at the most precious secrets. ■■■■■■■ !!!This book will contain some dark smut chapters but a series of warnings will be issued beforehand. So…you will be fine ^.^

SPACE LORD ARMADA

At 21 years old, Daniel Storm was not chosen because he was brave. He was chosen because he was stubborn about production ratios. A strategist. A systems thinker. A developer who believed wars were not won by heroes — but by logistics, infrastructure, and who ran out of resources first. After winning his own galactic simulation project — Space L.O.R.D. (Logistics, Operations, Research, and Dominion) — Daniel passed out at his desk. When he opened his eyes, he wasn’t in his room. He was in front of a Supreme Being made of galaxies. Apparently, optimizing fleet efficiency at 3 a.m. is considered “cosmic talent.” Instead of granting him instant power or a legendary bloodline, the Being inserts Daniel into a sealed, invisible star system — a closed domain filled with ancient scrap, ruined warships, and dormant technology. No army. No empire. No cheat code. Just trash. And his project — now integrated into reality. With access to: • Production Ascension • Controlled Summon Authority • Multiplicative Scaling • Adaptive Technology Evolution • A personal AI assistant named Snow (who may or may not judge his decisions constantly) • And a unique personal skill: Adversity Engine — the greater the pressure, the faster he evolves. But outside his hidden domain, the galaxy is far from peaceful. Four major galactic superpowers dominate the stars. Corporate trade coalitions manipulate economies. Hive civilizations consume entire systems. Ancient alchemist unions hoard forbidden technologies. Pirate clans rule the hyperlanes. Political tensions simmer toward inevitable war. One day, Daniel Storm will have to face them. And when that day comes— He won’t rely on hero speeches. He’ll rely on production capacity. Because while the galaxy fights loudly… Daniel grows quietly. And nothing is more dangerous than a junkyard managed by a strategist with unlimited patience.

The True-Fire Ascendant

The skies burned for seven days. Rivers boiled. Mountains cracked and fell. Shadows swept across the land like a living tide, consuming all that dared to live. Creatures that can only be described as incarnates that would make even nightmares tremble invaded from a land unknown. Everything they touched would decay out of existence. In that age of ruin, heroes rose only to be swallowed. Kingdoms and Empires fell one by one. Humanity stood at the edge of extinction. And then, when the last dawn dimmed beneath the Hollow Sovereign’s Shroud, something impossible happened. Heroes awakened not with magic or an all powerful sword, but with Concepts. They grasped the very truths of the world: Flame as Will. Water as Memory. Steel as Resolve. Light as Judgement. Darkness as Silence. Powers beyond elements. Powers that decay could not touch. Powers that could fight the invaders on equal terms. With Concept born strength, humanity pushed back the tide. With the Elemental Primordial Beings sacrificing themselves, the incarnates were sealed back to the Abyss from which they came from. - Hundreds watched as my turn came. The ancestral pyre burned in the center of the chamber steady, bright, unyielding. My sister’s flames had danced with joy. My brother’s had flickered with gentle warmth. Mine did nothing. Whispers stirred. Doubt followed. “The Ashencrest are doomed to fall this generation” I stepped forward anyway. “Place your hand into the flame,” the ceremony master said. I obeyed. The world fell away. A spark ignited in the void. Not red. Not gold. White. Flame without heat, without smoke. Fire stripped to its purest meaning. True Fire. It wrapped around my arm and into my core, a dragon shaped blaze roaring silently through my veins. The pyre behind me erupted, flames spiraling upward in a brilliant white coil. The fire warped and constricted until it took shape of our family’s Primordial Ancestral Beast, The Celestial Serpent. Gasps filled the hall. “A new concept of fire…?” “No, it’s more than that…” “True Fire… it’s actually…!” “…just like the legends.” But I couldn’t hear them. All I felt was the truth burning in my chest: A new True Concept hero had been born.
