betrayal

In the shadows of Konoha, the Uchiha were never defeated by rebellion. They were erased by fear, secrets, and silence. Toyoma Uchiha is not a prodigy chasing power, nor a fool blinded by revenge. He carries knowledge of a future where his clan is destined to be sacrificed—not for justice, but for convenience. As conspiracies tighten and loyalties fracture, Toyoma chooses a different path. Not blind obedience. Not reckless defiance. But careful resistance. With a handful of elders who still remember what it means to protect family, and enemies who smile while sharpening their knives, the Uchiha stand at the edge of extinction. This time, the future will not unfold quietly. This is not the story of a massacre. It is the story of a clan that refused to disappear. Early Access Available: support-pat****n/hear_tteeth (18+)

Vael Dusk arrived in Kuala Lumpur with forty-three dollars, a duffel bag, and two years worth of running behind him. He wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking for enough money to disappear — somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, somewhere the dead couldn't find him. He'd left the Army with a discharge paper that said *cleared* and a head that said otherwise. Four men were buried because of a call he made. He'd been paying for it ever since in the only currency he had left — movement. Never stop. Never sit still. Never let the quiet catch up. The quiet caught up anyway. It always does. One night in The Pit — Kuala Lumpur's most brutal underground fight ring — changed everything. Vael won. Not cleanly. Not carefully. He won the way a man wins when he has nothing left to protect, which is the most dangerous way there is. Victor Shen was watching from the shadows. Victor Shen is always watching. What follows is a descent. Through the underground circuit of Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, back to KL — where fighters are assets, loyalty is a leash, and the only way out is through. Vael will rise through ranks built on blood and debt and silence. He will find Raza, who sees what he is and trains him anyway. He will find Danny, who looks up to him with the specific trust of someone too young to know better. He will find Mei Lin — Victor's own niece, dismantling the empire from inside it, the one person in this world who looks at Vael and sees past the veil to whatever lives underneath. He will lose them. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to break something in him that was already cracked. Enough to turn the hidden thing loose. This is not a story about a fighter who becomes a champion. It's a story about a man who carries a demon he can barely control, in a world that will do everything it can to make him stop trying. *Some men enter the circuit looking for money.* *Some enter looking for glory.* *Vael Dusk entered looking for nothing.* *That made him the most dangerous man in the room.*

Guided by a simple wish to find his parents, he gathers rejected outcasts and slowly unveils the masked face of Vaelryn.

In a story of becoming known, sealed emotions, ideological villains, and long-buried truths, one warm-hearted boy must answer the question no one else could: Was this flawed, painful, beautiful world worth creating?

Saraphina gave up everything for love-her dreams, her body, her heart. She stood by Christian when he was nothing, only to be betrayed in the cruelest way. On the night meant to seal their forever, she found him in bed with her stepsister. Bruised, scarred, and carrying a child he refused to claim, she was thrown out like trash. The world saw her as broken. Unwanted. A woman ruined. But then came Raymond Knox—cold, ruthless, feared by many. A man who trusted no one… until her. Where others saw scars, he saw beauty. Where others called her weak, he saw fire. To everyone else, he was heartless. To her, he became both shield and storm. She thought she had lost everything. But to him, she was everything. Will Saraphina rise from the ashes to claim her crown as his one true queen? Or will the ghosts of her past destroy the love that could finally set her free?

Sold to the highest bidder to pay off a blood feud, I never imagined I would be the pawn in my father's fatal game. Still, here I am before Enzo De Luca, the most vicious mafia leader in the city. Though appealing, he is cold, deliberate, and as lethal. Though my heart races just from his proximity, it is his touch that ignites me. My body betrays me and reacts to him in ways I am powerless over. And I melt as he softly, commandingly says my name. Enzo loves neither me nor another. In his deadly kingdom, I am only another bargain, another transaction. But every time we are alone, the conflict between us snaps—desire becomes a terrible addiction. Although I detest him for everything he stands for, I yearn for the way he consumes me, body and soul. He has made it quite evident—our marriage is more about power than love. Still, every angry gaze and every snatched moment in the shadow reveals something different. Benevolent underneath his icy façade lies something broken that appeals to the darkest sides of me. But depending on a man like Enzo may mean losing everything. Bound to him now, for better or worse, I am caught in a world where loyalty is brittle and treachery carries a bullet. Our friendship gets more perilous the more truths about his empire I find. And as the past calls for us, I have to question myself: will our passion be the thing that ruins us both or can I survive loving a guy like Enzo De Luca? Burning in his arms is me. But in his universe, I could roast alive.

“Let him be born in darkness. Let him never know the light…” A child born of betrayal. A queen consumed by revenge. A kingdom on the brink of collapse.

Blinded by heartbreak and whispers of prophecy, queen Eya makes a choice that shatters the six kingdoms as we know it. As shadows awaken and bloodlines fracture, old gods stir, dark magic spreads, and alliances crumble. But prophecy speaks of a child who will either unite the six worlds… or burn them all asunder. Lies. Power. Legacy. In this war of bloodlines, trust no one. Not even yourself. Editor- Nicole l.m. McCracken

Abstract: Once, love was their world — now it’s the battlefield. Lana Hayes thought she’d found forever in Leo Knight: her best friend’s brother, her secret muse, and the man who promised her the stars.

Between revenge and redemption, between lies and truth, their love becomes a storm neither can escape. But when revenge turns personal, and every truth cuts deeper than any lie — will they destroy each other, or rediscover the love that once saved them both?

(Undergoing Rewrite) “I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar, against all odds he had survived. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar fog that seems mysterious. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head, a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge... After all, he has not forgotten... *** What to Expect Slow-burn Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another Mystery-driven worldbuilding Character-focused progression Subtle romance *** Schedule: 2 to 4 chapters a week *** Patreon Daily release schedule *** General Author Linktree https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

“That mark on your neck..” he began “No one, must know about the bond between us.” Adina looked at him, startled. “W-what?” “You will cover your neck everyday. You will live as you have and you will never speak of what happened yesterday. I will never acknowledge you as my mate. Never.” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Why? Why did you mark me if you didn’t want me?” “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t even look at you.” He stepped closer, the cold in his eyes crueler than anything she’d ever seen. “Do you really think I’d choose you?
