THE HOURGLASS SCARS: A Debt Paid in Seconds

Morwenna Emrys-LeFay was five years old when the ritual gave her back a life she hadn't known she had lost. Another world. Another story. One where she had watched Harry Potter walk toward a death that rewarded everyone who never deserved it. She isn't here to save the world. She doesn't particularly like the world. But she has her people — few, chosen, fiercely kept — and the story she remembers has a bad habit of destroying exactly the kind of people she has decided to keep alive. The old families are moving. Dumbledore is watching. A dark lord is collecting his pieces. She's selfish. She might be wrong. So what? This is her story. She decides the ending. --- Note: This story begins at Morwenna's birth. Volume One covers ages 0–7, and Volume Two covers ages 7–11. Just a heads-up on pacing: The first 60 chapters focus heavily on ages 2–4 and move very slowly to build the groundwork. After chapter 60, the story generally picks up speed, though it may roll back to a slower pace occasionally for specific arcs. Hogwarts is coming. We are just building the person who will walk through those doors first. As this is a WIP, I can't make exact promises, but the pace will evolve with the story

In Failure Frame, one rejected soul's wrath redefines heroism in a brutal quest for retribution.

In a debt-crushed rural corner of China, jade miner Touming drowns under crushing loans: 12.8 million won in personal debt and a staggering 165.8 million won family curse stretching back six generations. Hounded by four ruthless loan sharks and six mafia-connected gangs demanding monthly blood money, he scrapes by smuggling tiny jade fragments from brutal 12-hour mine shifts. One desperate night, after selling everything he owns to meet a payment and still arriving two minutes late, enforcers beat him to the edge of death. As life fades on a filthy alley street, an ancient jade-bound system awakens inside him—granting supernatural sight through solid rock and uncanny 999+ luck in uncovering priceless jade veins.

[Warning! R18+ Mature Content] After embarassingly dying by 'coming' on a museum worker, and then angering a Forgotten God by 'coming' on him as well, Jimmy transmigrated along with his date of the day, to another world where his problematic 'cannon' shots started making more sense. His destiny was fulfilled as he transmigrated into a Bloodmancer's body, where every shot literally was like that of a cannon's! Finding himself in a land riddled with dinosaurs, with species of dinosaurs jamming together from different Eras as if the Paleontological studies from back on Earth were a joke, survival was not only difficult, but it was unique! As a Bloodmancer, he learned that he could tame dinosaurs and keep them as pets, by essentially smushing their brains around like play dough! A useful skill, on account to the fact how infinitely useful dinosaurs were, since every living species bore Primal Magic, a category of magic with branches that were impossible to predict. Surrounded by temptation, by ladies who did not even comprehend the concept of a harem, he started collecting primal beauties as if it was a day-job! Somehow, his tamed dinosaurs helped him attract women, in a way that it was nearly impossible to figure out! He just knew that women wanted him, even the older ones, and he made great use of this curse/blessing from the angered God! He almost felt like every time he made love with his girlfriends, the Forgotten God got angrier. However, life was never that simple. With abandoned alien technology sprinkled across the world, and large-scale Tribe Wars brewing, Jimmy had little time to figure out how to best use such technologies in a world where the greatest invention that humanity made was not the wheel, but the bow and arrow! Collecting beauties might be fun, but what would the point be if his tribe got wiped out from the face of the Grasslands, his new home? The clock was ticking, so to speak, and he had to act fast! "Them thighs might be thick, but the plot is thicker, and with jacked up dinosaur clones sent to war, the future was absolutely impossible to predict!" ... ~ Be sure to check out my other novel in my author profile.

In a world where Quirks and Cursed Energy exist side by side, humanity believes the two powers can never belong to one person. They are wrong. Ren Oshimiya, a boy born in Japan and raised in America, returns to his homeland carrying an impossible truth—he possesses both a Quirk and a Cursed Technique. An existence that should not exist. An anomaly that could either save the world… or destroy it. Recognized for his unprecedented potential, Ren is trained by two legends from opposite sides of power: All Might, the Symbol of Peace, and Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer. As Ren learns to master both worlds, he is pulled into a conflict far greater than himself. From the shadows rises Night Sky, a mysterious organization led by the ruthless Izana, a man who seeks to tear down the current order and rebuild the world under his rule—a world where only the strong are allowed to exist. As curses evolve, heroes fall, and the line between justice and tyranny blurs, Ren must face a terrifying question: Is he the key to peace… or the beginning of a new era of chaos?

WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! R18+ Detailed Smut. Strictly for Adults Only! Irene has never had anyone. No family. No safety net. No one to call when things fall apart, maybe only her best friend June. Just a café job she hates, bills she can barely keep up with and a life she's been holding together alone for as long as she can remember. She wasn't looking for anyone. Then he walked in. Tall. Quiet. The kind of presence that didn't ask for attention but took it anyway. He ordered black coffee, left a twenty pound tip and said her name like it already meant something. She told herself he was just a customer. She almost believed it. Chris was everything she didn't know she needed. Patient. Consistent. The first person who ever made her feel like she didn't have to carry everything alone. And before she knew it Irene wasn't just falling for him-- she was addicted. To his voice. His presence. The way he showed up every single time without being asked. For the first time in her life she let someone in. That was her first mistake. Because the thing about addiction is that it doesn't warn you before it destroys you. Chris had a life she knew nothing about. A world beyond Belfast cafés and late night phone calls and candlelit dinners. A world with temptations she never saw coming. And when the truth finally surfaces Irene is left with nothing but the ruins of the first real thing she ever allowed herself to have. She walks away. Because she has to. Because staying would break what little is left of her. But walking away from Chris is not the same as being free of him. His memory lives in everything. Every song. Every late night. Every cup of coffee she can't drink without thinking of how it all started. She tries to move on. She tries to be okay. And she almost convinces herself that she is. Then he comes back. Changed. Broken. Fighting for her in ways he never did when he had her. Saying everything she needed to hear a year too late. And Irene is faced with the question she's been running from since the day she walked away- Can you forgive someone who shattered the first trust you ever gave away? Or is some damage too deep to come back from? Addicted to Chris is a story about love and betrayal. About the walls we build and the people brave enough to climb them. About learning the difference between someone who wants you and someone who truly chooses you. And about what happens when the one person you tried hardest to forget- refuses to let you go. Will curiosity or caution win? And just how dangerous can obsession get?

[Protagonist is the original Huo Yuhao] [Assumes most readers have read the original work; certain plots will be condensed] As the Divine Realm and the Divine Dragon Realm were being obliterated by the laws of the universe, the God King of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, returned to his own era. Even after cultivating to the rank of God King, Dai Yuhao remained an utter failure. Thus, he entrusted everything to his past self—Huo Yuhao. ———— Also forced into this era was a certain second-generation Dragon God. "What? Awakening a martial soul actually costs money!?" "What is Uncle Dai Yuhao doing? Why hasn't he joined the Tang Sect!?" "If he doesn't establish the Spirit Transmission Pagoda now, how am I supposed to blow up... uh, I mean, 'absorb' a little bit of Immortal Qi?" "Where is that old geezer Di Tian? Why hasn't he dropped his loot yet!?" Then, the second-generation Dragon God watched as his own uncle put his arm around his mother...

Silas Moore was the nation's top actor, worshipped by millions. Now, he's a Husky named “Er Gou,” forced to perform stupid pet tricks on live streams for kibble. After a mysterious attack turned him into a dog, the only person he can rely on is Lin Wan, a struggling streamer who thinks she just adopted a neurotic (but oddly intelligent) pet. To survive and uncover the conspiracy behind his transformation, Shen Mo must use his fading human intellect to outwit rival celebrities online, navigate the perils of being a dog, and lead a pack of former military dogs against the shadowy organization that hunts him — all while trying not to chew up Lin Wan’s new sofa. From directing blockbusters to directing a pack of “Paw Patrol,” this fallen star will have to use every trick in the book (and a few with his paws) to get his life back. But as dark forces close in and strange new abilities awaken within him, one question remains: Can a diva learn to be man’s best friend before his time runs out?

Sora Miragale wasn't the richest elf; unlike others who either had good lives or simple lives, she spent her life scavenging scraps, picking what she could find, and selling in the deep abyss of Titan Forge. Though her life wasn't all good or simple, she had always dreamt of becoming a knight one day, fighting against monsters and beasts. But her fate was clear that day when she came across what felt almost like a dream. No, it wasn't— It was something abnormal, something that didn't belong in this world where elves only existed.
