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!

Umbural

Umburals Dark Fantasy • Sci-Fi Horror • Psychological Thriller In the year 2097, Earth was no longer stable. Its orbit had begun to decay slowly, silently, dragged by the weakening gravitational tether to a massive, hidden planet that had circled the solar system for millennia. Scientists called it a phantom world, only visible during rare solar eclipses when its silhouette shimmered against the sun. Slightly bigger than Jupiter, its atmosphere resembled Earth’s, but its gravity was stronger, its terrain fractured into three colossal regions of jagged mountains, deep valleys, and broken lands. When a meteoroid threatened to shatter Earth’s crust, humanity launched its final exodus. Hyper-jump technology was still experimental, but there was no time left. Out of the estimated 9.2 billion survivors, only 5.4 billion made it through the jump. The rest were lost burned in the atmosphere, scattered across space, or left behind. They were ripped and pulled on to the phantom planet. The locals were already watching. Umburals humanoid beings with elfin features, black eyes with white pupils, and bodies capable of reshaping flesh, bone, and blood they had evolved far beyond human understanding. Their cities shimmered with advanced magical technology: floating spires, crystalline data cores, and energy-forged weapons. Their society was ancient, structured, and deeply spiritual. They did not hunt the humans. They welcomed them. At first. The Umbural governors offered shelter, medicine, and integration. They taught humans how to survive the gravity, how to adapt their tech, how to breathe in a world that pulsed with arcane energy. But not all Umburals were the same. Beyond the central cities, other clans existed wilder, stranger, shaped by different philosophies and powers. Some were territorial. Others were curious. A few were quietly hostile. And then came the conflict. Humanity, fractured and desperate, began to push back. They didn’t like the Umbural hierarchy. They didn’t trust the magic. They wanted control. Mankind’s old hunger to dominate, to lead, to reshape the world in its image resurfaced. Tensions rose. Trade broke. Skirmishes flared. Umbural governors demanded for peace, but the damage was done. Some humans began weaponizing Umbural tech. Others tried to claim land from the outer clans. The planet, already unstable from Earth’s gravitational collapse, began to react. Now, the world teeters on the edge of a new war. Umburals walk among humans. Humans build weapons to match Umbural biomass. The three fractured regions of the planet each ruled by different forces are stirring. And deep beneath the surface, something ancient begins to awaken. This is not a story of invasion. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of coexistence. Welcome to Diamond.

THE VILLAIN'S POV

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ A successful author. After living an ideal life ... a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job, and a bestselling novel that made his name known across the world .. he suddenly finds himself reincarnated inside his own story, written by his very hands. And worst of all... inside the body of the weakest villain ... Frey. A third-rate villain doomed to die in the earliest chapters. A worthless scumbag with trash talent ... hated by every other character in the story, with no redemption in sight. But he refuses that fate. He rejects the entire world. This author doesn't need the cliché of a second chance — he already lived the life he always wanted. "Spare me the second chance nonsense. One chance was enough. I’m the one who created this world… and I’ll be the one to destroy it if I have to. I will return — to my world… my family… my life. No matter the cost." Driven by a burning desire to return home, Frey begins his journey through a merciless world, one where his fate has already been written by godlike beings. And as if the world hadn’t played enough cruel tricks on him, it granted him a strange system .. one that toyed with him endlessly. Complete knowledge of every event in the novel, and the ability to create any talent or power he wished. They seemed like overwhelming gifts... but were they truly? how far can he go… and what will become of the world he once created? ... ... discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb
