dark

All her life, Eleanor Blake has tried to escape the darkest shadow of her past: being the daughter of a serial killer. Alongside her two older brothers, Luke and Steven, she has faced the aftermath of that monster—the harassment and hostility of their neighbors, the collapse of their family, Luke's struggle with addiction... and her own battle to conceal something that runs far deeper than visible scars. The only way out for the three of them was to sever their roots and anchor themselves elsewhere. That place was Forks: a small town in the middle of nowhere, where everything seems peaceful. Until Eleanor discovers it isn't.

The Order of Saint Merin ended with him. Not because it fell in a final stand—there was nothing left worth defending. The knights had been broken long before the last blade was raised, and he was the worst among them. Sir Henry Hildebraud of Mostenstein, the final knight, standing at the edge of his own grave. Magic ruled the world, and Henry possessed none of it. Against sorcerers who could reshape battlefields with a gesture, steel and training were meaningless. A sword did not argue with fire. A shield did not stop lightning. He was going to die, and he knew it. Then something absurd happened. A blow to the head—pure chance, pure stupidity—triggered a system. Not strength. Not speed. Not even magic. A single trait was amplified beyond reason: intimidation. He did not become more powerful. He simply became terrifying. Worse still, he had no control over it. Every sentence he spoke sounded like a threat of massacre. Casual conversation carried the weight of a war crime. Diplomacy became impossible. Silence was suspicious. Speaking was catastrophic. With no other options, Henry did the only thing he could to survive: he allowed the world to believe he was a monster far stronger than he truly was. Somewhere along this unfolding disaster, fate decided to complicate things further—or perhaps offer salvation—by pushing him toward a woman said to know how the Order could be restored and how he might rise above the farce he was living. The problem? Everyone agreed on one thing about her. She was completely unhinged.

Died in the cold. Starved. Betrayed. Devoured by the very people he once trusted. In a world where humanity collapsed into chaos, kindness was a weakness-and he paid the price for it. But fate gave him something impossible. A second chance. He awakens 30 days before the apocalypse. This time, he knows what's coming: The freezing world. The rise of enhanced humans. The fall of civilization. And the moment the people closest to him chose survival... over him. But Jae-Min is no longer the same man. Cold. Calculated. Unforgiving. Armed with knowledge of the future, a growing spatial power, and unmatched precision as a sniper who never misses, he begins to prepare-not just to survive... But to dominate. As factions rise, monsters emerge, and the world descends into war, Jae-Min moves from the shadows-one step ahead, one bullet at a time. This time, he won't be the one abandoned. This time... he chooses who lives. Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, explicit sexual content, psychological trauma, and mature themes intended for adult readers only.

TITLE: THE BAD BOY AND THE REBEL GENRE: DARK ROMANCE SYNOPSIS: Lorenzo De Santis, twenty-two years old, was known for his turbulent past and his unmistakable bad-boy reputation. Charming, dangerous, untamable… his name alone was enough to inspire both respect and fear. Women fell at his feet, but none had ever managed to change him. His father, worried for his future, searched for a way to give him responsibility and maturity, and ultimately to protect him from the dangers surrounding him. Chloé Martin, seventeen, was the complete opposite: stubborn, insolent, and fiercely brave. She never let anyone walk over her and loved challenging authority. Her life turned upside down the day her father, desperate and in need of money for a life-saving surgery, announced that she would have to marry a stranger: the son of his boss, Lorenzo. A decision imposed by the adults, yet one hiding truths and intentions far more complex than they imagined. For Lorenzo, this arranged marriage was a challenge set by his father: to learn how to handle responsibilities and take care of someone. For Chloé, it was a daily battle: she refused to submit, determined to challenge every order and resist every attempt at control from her husband. Between rebellion, provocation, and explosive confrontations, the tension between them keeps growing. But beneath the anger and conflict lies a dangerous, irresistible attraction… How will Chloé resist Lorenzo? Will Lorenzo be able to tame his rage and win her heart? One thing is certain: this marriage will be anything but ordinary.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Zirinos is a monster who, with the power of an entire galaxy on his back, lives without fear or concern, killing and raping, that is, until his father dies and his killer sends him to another world with the intention of seducing women and then killing them. Is Zirinos, in fact, as bad as you think? Will he be able to get his galaxy back? From another world, Denis, a good guy, dies and appears in the same world that Zirinos' father's killer sent him to, but instead of killing after seduction, he has the noble mission of protecting.

Maybe.... Who knows. Read and find out for yourself. *I release chapters every day or every two days, I shall not "drop" the book. I want to write until I die.

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.
