betrayal

In the span of a single month, Elara Jones watched her life go from the charts to the courtroom. ​Now, Elara is being sued by her former manager and trial-by-media has already found her guilty. When her past relationship is dragged into the spotlight and she’s publicly accused of being the killer of her ex, the world expects her to fight. But Elara is hollowed out, her fire replaced by a cold, haunting silence. Instead of clearing her name, she simply stops caring. Letting her new manager handle it all. ​Isla Matthews. Known in the industry as "The Fixer". She is the woman you hire when the fire is too big to put out. She comes into Elara’s life as her new manager with a single objective: scrub the scandal and resurrect the star. ​Isla has one rule: No feelings attached. She’s disciplined, logical, and detached. But one look at the broken, defiant Elara turns her world into complete nonsense. The attraction is immediate and dangerous. As Isla works to piece Elara’s reputation back together, she finds herself wanting her. Something that could ruin her entirely. ​But the "Fall from Grace" wasn't an accident. As they get closer, Elara begins to uncover the jagged truth behind her ruin. It wasn't just bad luck or a former manager’s greed, it was a calculated hit. ​When the mask finally falls, Elara must decide, and if Isla is part of the world that betrayed her, can their "relationship" survive the truth? Because Isla Matthews may not just be fixing the disaster. She may be part of it.

After the death of her parents, Grace built her life on duty, silence, and strength. But as she nears the throne, whispers of the past begin to surface— dark, persistent, and impossible to ignore. A secret long buried now claws its way into the light, threatening to unravel everything she thought she knew about her blood, her family… and herself. As deception coils around her and every truth turns to ash, Grace must face a haunting choice: protect the lie that keeps her kingdom safe, or uncover the truth that could destroy it— and her along with it.

“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; he had not been reincarnated. Nor transmigrated into another body. He remembers everything; that much remains clear. He is still himself. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar haze of mist-like substance, and his body is covered in torn rags. 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  •  AI opening chapter illustrations  *** Schedule: 5 chapters on Tuesday  5 chapters on Saturday  *** Patreon Daily release schedule   *** Join my Discord! https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

Across the stars, the Warp boils with madness as the Dark Gods weave their eternal conspiracy, whispering blasphemies that twist reality and chain the future to their will. Yet, from beyond the veil of certainty, a figure emerges, an anomaly, a scourge upon the predestined path. The Doom Slayer! Herald of ruin, breaker of chains, scourge of demon and tyrant alike!

“Am I okay? How can you ask that after you bought me like I was some kind of object?!" Hannah shouted. "I was only trying to save you," Roman replied softly. But deep down, he couldn’t deny that he truly wanted her… ... Hannah Macalester had always known her father was selfish, but she never imagined he would go so far as to sell her in a human auction to pay off his debts.

The problem is, living under the same roof with Roman turns out to be dangerously tempting. As they secretly work with the FBI to bring down the auction, the trillionaire’s charm begins to break down Hannah’s defenses.

"I told you not to touch her!" Adrian's voice tore through the air as his fist struck the man again. Blood stained his hands, yet his fury showed no sign of fading. "Adrian, stop! Please... you'll kill him!" Eira cried, desperately trying to pull him away. But he didn't even hear her. His jaw clenched as his crimson eyes burned with murderous fury. "Today..." he growled, raising his bloodstained fist once more. "...I'll kill you." Only after Eira desperately threw herself between them did Adrian finally stop. Even then, the storm inside him refused to fade. Later, as silence filled the car, Adrian's voice cut through it like a blade. His crimson eyes locked onto hers. "Next time... I'll kill him if he touches you again." Adrian, a vampire, hides behind cold words, ruthless actions, and a hatred that seems impossible to question. Eira, a human, cannot understand why the man who keeps pushing her away is always the one who saves her. The closer Eira gets to the truth, the more Adrian tries to drive her away. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... and some bonds cannot be broken, no matter how hard they try to fight them. In a world where love is forbidden, enemies lurk in the shadows, and fate has already chosen its path, one question remains... Can love rewrite destiny, or will destiny destroy them before the truth is revealed?

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
