dark

Not every road leads home. Some end in the abyss. A door appears without reason. One step, and the mind shatters. The dying body of a young noble—Beltrán Leonhard—receives what it never asked for: memories that are not his own, unfamiliar emotions, and echoes of a world that never existed in the books he once knew. A world consumed by war and ruled by masks, conspiracies, and horrors beyond human comprehension. Shadows do more than conceal secrets—they whisper, deceive, corrupt and, above all, they wait. Is Beltrán truly nothing more than an unfortunate noble, or merely another piece in fate’s grand design? The knowledge he has inherited is no gift. It is a key. One that was never meant to unlock what lies beyond.

Ride or die — the kind of tales I write. Fragments and shadows, the game bends on the side. A funeral might whisper… or a festival draw nigh. If your heart is carved of stone , join the mad guy so the caterpillar sings "What once crawled now dances with the wind"

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”

When I first got in this world I had dreams big dreams. It was the world of game of thrones, where magic, dragons and swords where plenty. I have read enough fiction to know what to do: reincarnate as some Nobel use that money to set up a business with stuff which hasn't been invented and get rich and start a harem. Like one famous person said: ‘wake up to reality’. Get into a Nobel family: fail Start a business: fail Get a harem: fail Get killed: success I am a dead man walking between a zombie apocalypse and and army of knight's so let's try to not die again.

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

In the turbulent era of Europa from 1914 to 1922, a devastating world war ignites following the assassination of Great Duke Francis, heir to the Middle Nations of Germano-Hungry—loyal allies of the formidable Great Empire. This spark escalates into a brutal clash, with the Great Empire locked in combat against a coalition of powers: the steadfast Republic of France, the shadowy Transnatia (formerly Romania), the expansive Great United Front of Russia, and the naval-dominant Island Nation of Commonwealth (Britain), as additional nations are pulled into the conflict across the years. "Trenchbound" chronicles the war through shifting perspectives of soldiers on the battlefield, each chapter capturing a unique viewpoint at critical junctures. From the desperate struggles of everyday infantrymen navigating treacherous trenches and mechanized assaults—featuring colossal steam-driven tanks and armored contraptions—to the elite magic divisions, where mages command ethereal flying machines (distinct from conventional aircraft) to soar above the fray. These sorcerers enchant bullets with devastating spells, causing them to explode on impact or unerringly track their targets, turning the odds lethally against ordinary troops and amplifying the chaos of combat. Through these personal narratives, the novel delves into the grim realities of a war where arcane enhancements merge with industrial might, exposing the fragility of life, the bonds of camaraderie, and the shattering consequences of enchanted warfare that reshapes Europa's destiny. This alternate historical epic blends authentic period tensions with limited magical intrigue, painting a vivid portrait of survival amid enchanted peril.

Transported to the 14th century, Adrian must survive in an era ruled by superstition, war, and creatures lurking in the dark. But Adrian isn’t human — he is a True Alpha werewolf, a rare being whose power is born, not taken.

With fragments of modern knowledge and a growing understanding of the human body, Adrian takes on the role of a traveling healer while secretly searching for answers about his sudden arrival. But power attracts attention. And in a world where the first vampires are still shaping history, the arrival of a True Alpha may change everything. Some will see him as a weapon. Some as a threat. And some… as prey. The night is older than he imagined. And it has just noticed him.
