Wilted Moon

"Will you still love me when I become a withered flower?" A gentle smile appeared on his face. "The flower I love will always be the one I love. And I will become the water that keeps it from withering." She lowered her gaze and asked softly, "But flowers wither eventually... what will you do then?" He looked at her for a moment before replying, "Even then, it will still be my flower. And I love my flower more than anything." His voice softened. "So remember this... as long as I'm here, even if that flower withers someday, I'll still take care of it." I was trapped… Trapped in a place I had never truly belonged to before. Among friends. I thought I would finally enjoy my new life, but I never knew it would come with conditions. I found someone who truly loved me… but he was never meant to be mine. And the one who showed me love. I never knew if it was real or just another illusion. Bound by friendship, I slowly found myself standing in the same place I had been four years ago. Back when loneliness was all I knew. When I needed love the most, I never received it. And when love finally found me… My life had already given up. And just when everything finally started becoming okay… Fate whispered to me, “Now close your eyes.” The person I fell in love with… the person who fell in love with me… What we had was never just love. We were both broken in our own ways. Yet somehow, we understood each other better than anyone else ever could. And when I finally realized who I truly wanted in my life… Everything changed.

The Sole Prince of the Fallen Kingdom

After falling from his school’s rooftop while trying to save a cat, Liam, an orphan who knew only loneliness, awakens in another world as Aiden von Everhart, the first prince of a small yet noble kingdom in the magical mortal realm of Melux. This new life gives him everything he once longed for — A warm, loving family, a kingdom to call home, Magic beyond his wildest imagination, and sweets he'd never even dreamed of tasting. With an affectionate father, a stern but soft-hearted mother, an annoying but loyal friend in Char, and a "big sister" figure named Elsie, Aiden finally feels whole. For the first time, he believes the pain of his past life is behind him. But happiness is a fragile thing… *DING* [Host’s Title has been updated from ‘The First Prince of the Everhart Kingdom’ to ‘The Sole Prince of the Fallen Kingdom.’] Aiden’s new world is about to crumble, and this time, the fall might be even harder. ********** [An Excerpt from the Story.] "...D-Destroy the Empire and Kill the Emperor Norbury?" I was discombobulated yet terrified by the task that Mortivis asked me to accomplish. "Yes, if you manage to complete it successfully, I give you my word that I..." Mortivis flicked his finger, making a snap sound, as a glowing ...orb? Appeared at his fingertips, "...I would make Aziel von Everhart alive again." Shrill A metaphorical shrill sound pierced my ears, and a shock ran through my spine as his words fell onto my ears. My Eyes were drawn to that glowing and flickering Orb on his fingertips. It felt strangely yet comfortably familiar, as if... '...Wait, don't tell me that is-' Before I could finish my thoughts, Mortivis's lips lifted slightly in a smile as he continued. "Yes, this orb..." Mortivis looked at the Glowing orb at his fingertips and continued, "It is his soul." "So, what do you think? Are you going to accept my condition?" With a confident yet sly smile, Mortivis proposed his offer. It was an extremely tempting offer. He had promised me the treasure that I had lost because of my stupidity. 'If I destroy the empire and kill the emperor, maybe we can return to how we were...' A selfish thought erupted in my consciousness, but quickly, I shook my head, denying it. 'N-No. No matter how desperate you are, Aiden. You can't kill innocent people. It would bring more tarnish to Father's legacy than uplifting his name.' 'You can't do that. You can't-' "Who cares about that, Liam?" Mortivis interrupted my train of thought, bending his knees to look directly into my eyes.  "Your body might have been that of Aiden von Everhart, but your soul? It is still of Liam. Liam didn't care about others' losses as long as it benefited him, did it? It's a selfish soul, not a noble one." "A Selfish Soul who didn't give a second thought when stealing others' hard-earned money to feed himself." "A Selfish Soul whose mind, when falling to its death, was serene. You never even thought about the impact that your Death would have on your fellow schoolmates' mental health, seeing your dead body." "A Selfish Soul who, even after reincarnating as the child of someone as selfless as Aziel, just lived for himself and wished to continue living peacefully, surrounded by the people whom he loves and who love him." "Even when you were dying on Melux, you didn't think of what would happen to others who were close to you; you were just thinking that 'Maybe it would make your father proud of you.' ...That's how selfish you are, Liam." "So, why not just embrace your selfishness and accept my offer? It's in the best interests of both of you and me."  P/S: There will be Late Romance. *The cover is made with the help of AI cause I suck at drawing, and too broke to hire any artist to make the cover. *English isn't my first language, so if someone finds any grammatical mistakes in my writing, please comment and point them out, and I will edit them. Till then, keep reading The Sole Prince of The Fallen Kingdom!!

Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Spiderman in DC (SMiD)

Spider-Man in DC is a Spider-Man tragedy that burns through the common expectations to expose DC's demented dark side. Jake is a protagonist pitted against the best and worst in DC from the second he steps into this world. He goes from moments of humanness with Catwoman to absolute terror as he gets tortured in the hands of Harley Quinn and Gotham. He might survive a brutal battle against Batman, only for the universe to send the cosmic bounty hunter, Lobo -- The Main Man himself -- on his tail. Some things are not meant to be survived, and Jake finds out the hard way. However, nothing is impossible. Even in the absoluteness of Death, Jake survives and adapts. He doesn't rise above his trauma. He metabolizes it, and uses it against the very world that wants to destroy him. A/N: Nothing good happens in this story. The first volume is a villain origin story, and the origin is that the world made him useful. Be advised: Gore (MC gets tortured in Arc 2), body horror, chemical compulsion played as horror not fetish. Your favourite characters will get hurt. Volume Structure: Volume 1: Death appears (Death happens): #1 - #85 Volume 2: Despair appears (The world loses Hope). #86 - Present Volume 3: Destruction comes in (The World Ends) Volume 4: Desire takes control (Peace was always a lie) Volume 5: Delirium (the world unmade itself) Volume 6: Dream (the game was always rigged). Volume 7: Destiny (In the end, this was always the path). Volume 8: The End (The Hour is Nigh). Disclaimer! I own nothing in DC, Marvel, or the Sandman Universe.
