Gotham : Starting from Scratch

Trapped at rock bottom, he and the girl shared the same misery, huddling together for warmth as they struggled to survive. Until Isabella, the childhood neighbor who had been by his side for years, returned. That was when everything changed. Their love twisted into something dark and insane. Just as he thought he had finally seen the light, he plunged into another endless abyss… Only then did the terrible truth hit him: he had always been trapped in this pathological swamp, with no way to escape.

{WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 18+} (No NTR or Yuri) The world marches toward an unavoidable ending. A foul, unstoppable plague of corruption called the Scourge is devouring every corner of the world. A king, Ixion, once nobly fought against the vicious, untamed foes; however, the fruitless nature of the fight was that it could only end in one fashion — a pitiful loss. If that was the destined fate of the world, and his resistance would buy a year or two at most… Why spend the little time he has left in the depths of melancholy and grief?! Why not enjoy his life while the world crumbles?! So, Ixion decides to make a list of things he wants to do and accomplish before the world’s demise. A list full of his most devious, lecherous fantasies and desires, alongside a plot of revenge — revenge against the world that had forsaken him.

When Taiyuan fell to the northern riders, one boy survived. Across frozen plains and wind-scoured wastelands, he walked alone—carrying nothing but his father’s last command: Find General Jin Mugwang of Haran. He was not a warrior. He had never drawn a blade in battle. Yet he crossed a land where even soldiers would not travel in winter. In Haran, at the edge of the frontier, a war waits. Armies gather. Old loyalties fracture. The border does not forgive weakness. The boy who arrived half-frozen at the gates of the northern campaign will grow beneath banners of war. But survival is only the beginning. In a fractured age, he must learn when a blade must be drawn— and when it must remain sheathed. A story of war, loyalty, and the making of a man. This is my first time sharing my work on a global platform. I truly look forward to your evaluation and feedback. I am particularly interested in how readers from different cultural backgrounds perceive the story. Thank you sincerely. Note: This story may soon be contracted with another platform, so it might be removed from this site in the future. Please read while it is still available. Thank you.

She wasn’t supposed to see the threads. The moment Lia touches the impossible doorway, reality fractures—and something on the other side recognizes her. Not as a stranger. But as something… unfinished. Now caught between two worlds, Lia begins to hear whispers no one else can. Threads of light stretch through everything—time, memory, people—and they’re starting to respond to her. Pulling her closer. Changing her. While the system calls her home, Damien refuses to let her go. “You’re not disappearing on me.” But the deeper Lia sinks into the network, the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore— She was never meant to choose between them. Because one day soon… She might stop being human at all.

Logan spent five years writing a fantasy novel barely anyone read, only to die pitifully. After accepting a contract with the goddess of lust, he opened his eyes again to realise he was inside that very novel… as a disposable extra. Worse still, he arrived at the worst possible moment. The night the powerful Evernight family is massacred. As Logan struggles to survive the unfolding catastrophe, a mysterious system suddenly appears before his eyes. But the system isn’t normal. It doesn’t grant power. It doesn’t give abilities. Instead, it gives a single, absurd condition. Only by forming intimate bonds with the mothers of the story’s heroines can Logan awaken powerful Origin Paths. In the original story, the protagonist conquered countless beauties. But this time? Logan plans to rewrite the entire fate of the world—starting with the women who were never meant to be part of the story. Saving fallen noblewomen. Manipulating the academy’s future elites. Unraveling conspiracies hidden beneath the empire. And conquering the most dangerous women in the world. Because in this twisted new timeline… The fate of the world might depend on the mothers instead.

A quiet medical student with dreams of becoming a doctor hides a terrifying gift-he can see visions of the future. One day, Evans Miller sees a horrifying vision of his twin sister lying in a pool of blood. Before he can stop it, the vision becomes reality. From that day on, the trauma of her death changes him. Once a normal young man, Evans becomes a withdrawn and timid nerd, haunted by the memory of what he saw... and by the fact that he knows who the murderer is. Years later, hoping to escape his past, Evans moves to a new house and transfers to another college. But fate has other plans. He comes face to face with the killer again. This time, the killer's target is someone else-his girlfriend, Jasmine. When the past returns to hunt him, Evans must decide: Will he remain the quiet, frightened boy everyone thinks he is... Or will he unleash the monster within to protect the woman he loves?

Disclaimer: This is my first time actually posting something, so don't expect a masterpiece. I'm not writing for an award or anything, only to have fun, so by all means criticise my work, but be prepared for some beginner mistakes. The story will be based around one of the original vampires in the Twilight universe. As one of the first vampires to exist, see how his presence affects those around him. Pairings will be: OC x Alice Cullen OC x Jasper Hale I made a second OC to be part of MC's coven, can't just leave Jasper single :)

  “You were mine once,” Aiden murmured, pinning her to the wall. “And you will be mine again.”   Alina laughed softly, even as tears burned her eyes. “You chose another woman, Aiden. Now you don’t get to touch what you abandoned.”   Three years of silence. Three years of cold sheets. Three years of being the "Placeholder Luna."   Alina knew the terms: marry the powerful Alpha Aiden, provide an heir, and disappear when the contract expired. She played her part perfectly. But when Aiden’s childhood sweetheart returns to claim her throne, the rejection isn't just a formality—it’s a betrayal that leaves Alina shattered and exiled to the pack’s dangerous fringes.   Then, an accident comes that almost claims her life. Instead of death, she finds a savior: a scarred rogue, hunted by every pack in the territory. Where Aiden saw a contract, this stranger sees a Queen. Where Aiden saw a wolfless Omega, he sees a mate.   As the Rogue’s obsession with Alina grows, so does the danger. But back at the palace, Aiden is realizing that breaking the bond didn't stop the hunger. He wants his wife back. He wants his son home.   But the Rogue doesn't play by pack rules, and he has no intention of letting his rescued treasure go back to the man who threw her away.   The Alpha wants his legacy. The Rogue wants her soul. And Alina? She’s done playing by everyone else’s rules.

“You need a wife.” She said. “What makes you think that you are cut out to be my wife?” Oliver asked. The smug smile on his lips was the only indication that he didn’t find her suggestion offensive. “I am not like any of the other women you’ve been with before, Mr. Morton.” Seductively, she let her fingers draw patterns across his chest. “Ms. Sophia, are you aware that you’re playing a dangerous game?” He asked, capturing her fingers that were busily tickling the five o’clock shadow along his jawline. “I am.” But really, was she? But this was not the time to back out now. To second-guess herself. “But are you brave enough to play my game?” She dared, looking him directly in the eyes. Without giving him time to react, she kissed him. Damn! She knew she should stop. This man was her enemy, but her body wouldn’t let her. She missed this. Being wanted. Being desired. Being... No! Not love. This was not love. Oliver saw her as an object. A beautiful woman to conquer, nothing more. And she should feel the same way. No! She could not fall back into his charms. Armed with this realization, she busily let her other hand wander off until she felt it. The hard, metallic weapon that he put aside. Grabbing it, she immediately placed it on his temple, mimicking his action earlier. Then, she gradually pulled her lips away. “Are you gonna kill me now?” The great Mafia Don asked, but she could not see any trace of fear in his eyes as he stared at her. Only curiosity. “No, as I said, I’m not like the woman you’re used to. I know what I want, and I get it.” She said confidently, while slightly pushing her body harder against his. Damn! Her body still responded the same way to him, just as she remembered it. “And what do you want, Ms. Sophia?” He asked, lifting his hand to cradle her chin gently against his fingers. But he never attempted to remove the gun she had placed threateningly against his temple. The most feared man in the city just sat quietly, watching her. “As I said, marry me?” *** Amelia Clarke might have been the curvy, nerdy girl who was constantly bullied and mocked by everyone, but she still won the heart of the Quarterback King. Oliver Lambert. But her happily ever after came to an end too soon. After four years of keeping their love affair a secret, she finally discovered that Oliver was not the man she thought he was. It turned out that he was the heir of the Morton Group and the next Mafia Don. Moreover, he was already engaged to a famous heiress. Now, Oliver’s father, the current Mafia Don, wanted her out of the picture. And he would do anything to finish the job. Leave Oliver, or he would make her and her family’s lives miserable. Give up the custody of her child, or the child would not see the light of day. Amelia tried to seek Oliver’s help, but the misunderstanding between them, plus Maximus manipulations, had already caused irreparable damage to their relationship. Left desperate and with no other option, she tried to run away with her family so she could protect her child. But the accident happened, taking the lives of her parents and unborn child. But was it really an accident? Left with nothing but a broken heart, she moved away. What started with love eventually turned to hate. What was once a promise of forever became a hunger for revenge. For six years, she lived with only one thing on her mind. To make her ex and his family pay. Motivated by vengeance, she returned as a completely different person. Amelia Clarke was dead. The chubby nerd was no more. In her place, Sophia Maddison was born. A supermodel and a promising entrepreneur. Her first agenda. Infiltrate the Morton’s business. Seduce the new Mafia Don. Oliver Morton. Marry him. Then, take everything that mattered to him. His business, his family, and even his child. *** [Warning: Mature steamy content, moderate violence, and some inappropriate language] COVER PHOTO - Credit to the owner.
