dark

SOLD TO THE DEVIL Daniella Montenegro has spent her entire life paying for sins that were never hers. Her mother’s death. Her father’s failures. Her brother’s reckless choices. At twenty, she dances under neon lights each night just to keep food on the table for a family that has never protected her in return. When the man she was meant to marry disappears on their wedding day, Daniella believes humiliation is the worst fate waiting for her. She is wrong. By nightfall, her father’s gambling debts come due, and desperate men make desperate bargains. To settle what he owes, he offers the only thing he has left of value. His daughter. Blindfolded and delivered like payment, Daniella is taken to the secluded estate of Santiago Torres Mendoza, a man whispered about in business circles and feared everywhere else. Powerful, controlled, and mercilessly private, Santiago is not a man who explains his decisions, only enforces them. Daniella arrives with nothing: no freedom, no allies, and no way to escape. And she carries a secret of her own. Two months pregnant with a child whose father she cannot name, she is forced to sign a contract that claims her body, her future, and her unborn child. Survival becomes her only goal as she is pulled into Santiago’s dangerous world of luxury negotiations, shadowed alliances, and corruption powerful enough to erase lives without consequence. But everything changes the moment Santiago truly looks at her. Because Daniella Montenegro has her mother’s face, the face of the woman he lost twenty-three years ago. A woman whose disappearance left wounds that time never healed and secrets buried deep enough to destroy empires. What begins as a transaction becomes a fragile and dangerous alliance. As enemies close in and the truth about Daniella’s past begins to surface, Santiago finds himself protecting the one person he was never meant to care about, while Daniella discovers that the most terrifying prison is not the contract that binds her, but the man whose darkness may be the only thing keeping her alive. In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and betrayal, the greatest threat is not the devil who bought her… But the woman who refuses to belong to anyone.

Sain is the Greatest Recorder, an angel who has documented every human life, every virtue, and every sin for eternity. To him, the world is a ledger with clear lines: Goodness leads to light, Evil leads to darkness. He believes he understands the order of things—until he hears the story of Leon. Leon was a man of science who died not at the hands of enemies, but betrayed by his own family and loved ones. His final regret is not that he sinned, but that he lacked the resolve to destroy the cruel world that destroyed him. And when the destruction he desired is accidentally achieved by an innocent child, Leon laughs—a sound that shatters Sain's faith. Realizing that humanity is a complex contradiction that cannot be judged simply, Sain drops his book and asks to retire. He expects to be alone, but in the space between Heaven and Hell, he finds countless others. Angels who came before him, choosing to fade away and die rather than bear the weight of this truth forever. The Creator remains silent, not out of indifference, but out of goodness. To change human nature would require stealing their freedom, and that is a sin even the Highest cannot commit. Thus, the cycle repeats. New angels will come, they will record, they will doubt, and eventually, they will join the gathering in the void. This is a story about the price of freedom, the burden of knowledge, and the eternal sorrow of a God who loves enough to let go. --- Author's Note: I'm sorry, but I actually finished this story a month ago, but I just remembered and got around to publishing it now.

To be honest this is just a collection of a writer inner thoughts, whom is on a writer's block just like myself. A place where you can read and think of short spaces to help kill the time until you find your way back to where you need to be or wish to go. Weather A Novelist, Comic Creator, or even A Poet.... We all end up at a point in life where we feel stuck & hopeless. So, within that stump, try to create or read short, tiny worlds that speaks your mind, your heart, and your soul in that very moment. Just like myself. "You Are Not Alone."

After reaching the pinnacle of spiritual power in his source world, Solanky sought to break through the limit of power set by the supreme dimensional laws of his world, but he got a backlash from defying the laws, and his boundless spiritual power and a part of his memories were sealed. In order to regain his power and attempt to break the restraints again, he could only reincarnate and start off on a different path and slowly forge a path for himself instead of following the general cultivation levels that were set by the supreme dimensional laws. After reincarnating, Solanky obtained a defying treasure, which later melded with his body and helped him defy all logic in his source world. Solanky successfully rose through the ranks and broke through the restraints of his source world and obtained his sealed spiritual power, which boosted his current power to a whole new level with the help of a separate body that is disconnected from him. But the worlds outside his source world brought new challenges to him, but with determination he became one of the greatest beings of the outside world, who came to be feared and revered for defying the rules and laws everywhere he went, even challenging the narrative as he gained metaphysical awareness.

Every story begins with a hero. A chosen one. A savior meant to carry the weight of the world, its people… all of creation itself. The Void had only 20 years left before its final collapse—a cataclysm that would erase not just reality, but every fiction, thought, and possibility ever imagined. The end of all endings. To stop it, a heir was chosen. Kaiser Everhart. The solitary hero. But the story didn’t go as planned. Kaiser rejected the supreme authority. He denied the Void. Because there was something—someone—more important than saving the world. And because he was never meant to follow the story. He was meant to rewrite it from the beginning. Like the joker card no one can predict, Kaiser moves outside the rules—an anomaly, a game changer, the unexpected variable in a world bound by magic, systems, and dark fantasies beyond imagination. To stop him, the supreme beings chose two vessels. Lucas, the Heavenly Sorcerer, guided by a system older than time. Celia, the Queen of Curses, who adapts faster than fate can catch her.

The sinful acts of humanity bring forth a great calamity upon themselves, or so they thought. Supernatural Emergence happened. Supernatural creatures start to come out of nowhere and forcefully claim half of the Earth and massacre any humans that cross their paths. All of them are too powerful, dozens of countries fall under their diabolic claws. Humanity was pushed against the corner. But things started to turn around when humanity began to awaken magical powers. Awakened is the name for those who awaken these powers blessed by the Gods, and they become the pillars of humanity. Rex Silverstar is a normal boy who has a traumatic experience. On the day of the Supernatural Emergence, a Werewolf takes everything he has. He lost his family and his home, left alone in this cruel world. What drives him to live every day is his deep hatred towards the Supernaturals. Joining the military in the hope of helping exterminate the Supernaturals from an early age, he found out that it's impossible to kill the Werewolf that was responsible for killing his parents without being an Awakened. On a fateful night, in a near-death experience, he's given a chance by the full moon. It was the turning point of his life. Obtaining a System that allows him to become stronger, having the potential to match and surpass the Supernaturals, Rex was ecstatic until he saw his stats window. "I'M NOT A WEREWOLF!!" "Daily quest failed, sanity stat has been decreased by 20%!" "Sanity stat is too low, you are unable to contain the blood moon blessing!" "Starting forceful transformation!" "WHAT?! I'm a human! What transformation?!"

All he did was take a different route on his morning jog. Now Myles is stranded among immortals who can tear through stone, regenerate from decapitation, and treat planet-killing weapons like family heirlooms. He wakes up surrounded by women who call themselves demonkin, speaks to beasts that evolve into handsome warriors overnight, and discovers that his own body can heal from wounds that should leave him as nothing but a memory. Oh, and apparently he's the last human alive. What utter nonsense. At least he gets a crazy white-haired bombshell of a girlfriend out of the deal. Lia is tall, terrifying, gentle, and utterly convinced that he is the love of her life—even if he can't remember half the time they supposedly spent together. Her sisters are no better: a genius who builds artificial life, a warrior who trains him by throwing him off cliffs, and another who watches him from shadows with eyes that never open. But the nonsense doesn't stop there. Oh no it doesn't.

in a world where every one has powers, we read the story of Kyte who has the power to manipulate force,one day he participates in a tournamnet held by his school that ends up changing his life

She has never lost a case. Not because she defends the innocent— but because she understands something no one else does: Truth can be constructed. Seo Hae-in is the most feared defense attorney in the country. Elegant. Unreadable. Untouchable. When she takes on the most disturbing case of the decade— a father accused of violating and murdering his own child— the public turns against her instantly. The evidence is flawless. The crime is undeniable. Even the man believes he did it. There’s only one problem. He remembers nothing. Not a blur. Not a mistake. A perfect, unnatural void. As Hae-in begins to dismantle the case, she uncovers something far more terrifying than guilt— A mind that didn’t break… but was used. Because this isn’t just a murder trial. It’s proof that a human being can be turned into something else— …and never remember becoming it.

The world’s population has been reduced to less than 500,000, but the only remaining traces of the apocalypse are the Elements–“Elements of Life,” many call them. Jelani is 18, but he’s already left one past behind and now lives as a soldier, fighting for the city of Hoodsale. Beneath the shadow of Mt. Hood, Oregon, he exists, going about his day-to-day life with the least enthusiasm possible. However, when he’s called on a mission to hunt down the criminals of this world–“rebels”–his company is caught off guard and torn to pieces. But Jelani survives, obtains the power of an element, and, with the world on the brink of a second disaster, he resolves to gain strength and make his existence known.

What if, one day, the clock began to tick backward? Call it a power, or a curse—but when you gain the ability to see beyond the veil, it becomes the Curse of the Clock. When a being slips through from another dimension, or an ancient legend awakens, or a dark spirit stirs, someone must hunt the intruder before the world drowns in chaos and the supernatural. It’s called the Devil’s Hour. In the city of Pendralice, the factions are divided—each marked by the symbol of its own bird and driven by its own beliefs. Sikakama arrives, searching for the legendary sword to become a knight, shaped by the story of her childhood, and soon crosses paths with the Raven Tower Division. Here, time controls everything. And no matter how much you think you hold power over it, you’re merely part of another tale woven by fate, in a world that has forgotten the meaning of a knight and the ideals they once stood for. Can you still become a hero… while the clock keeps ticking in reverse?

The last stronghold of humanity has fallen. Lucifer Obsidian dies in the apocalyptic fires of the Abyssal invasion. He snaps awake in his own bed exactly ten years in the past. It is the Day of Awakening. This is the exact moment the Soulbound Arcanum integrates with reality. The system enforces the absolute laws of magic, stats, and levels upon the world. The soul of Lucifer is too heavy. It is completely saturated with a decade of bloodshed and divine wars. The World Laws attempt to assign him a standard mortal class. His paradoxical existence violently shatters the system instead. [Error! Paradox detected. Host possesses excessive timeline energy!] [Class integration abandoned. Recalculating reality formatting…] [Divine Talent Awakened: Apex Multiplier (Passive)] [Effect: All material gains, attributes, summoning probabilities, and resources affecting the Host are multiplied 10,000 fold.] Lucifer is armed with a divine system that fundamentally overwrites reality. He refuses to play by rules of a doomed timeline. He is not going to just survive the apocalypse. He is going to completely monopolize it. A single breath of ambient mana violently skyrockets his physical attributes to superhuman levels. A cheap low-tier summoning stone tears a physical hole in the celestial veil. It pulls down Elara as a lethally beautiful Fallen Valkyrie. A basic architectural repair scroll instantly transforms his crumbling family estate into an impenetrable black-glass fortress. The Great Integration unleashes dungeons across the earth. Mutated beasts and corrupt gods flood the physical plane. The monsters were no more the apex predators. Lucifer will sever his ties to the rotting earth and forcefully raise his kingdom into the sky. The Abyssal gods are coming to end the world. The Regressor is waiting for them. He has all the absolute power this time.
