Illusive Eden - He Pretends He's the Hero

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

The Beautiful Debt

The Debt Elena St. Claire is a woman defined by her brilliance, a finance valedictorian with a future as bright as the Manhattan skyline. But her world is incinerated when her father, a man of pride and poor foresight, falls victim to a catastrophic market collapse. With the St. Claire name facing total ruin and criminal prosecution, a savior appears in the form of the "Ice King," Silas Vane. Silas is a man who doesn't believe in charity, only acquisitions. He offers to pay off the family's billion-dollar debt on one condition: Elena must become his secret wife and personal assistant for one year. The Cage Forced into a predatory contract, Elena is moved to the exclusive 80th floor of Vane Industries. Silas’s rule is absolute and his presence is suffocating; he clears the floor of all staff, isolating Elena in a glass-walled office where he can monitor her every breath. His behavior is marked by a chilling, "extra touchy" possessiveness—marking her as his asset through proximity and unyielding control. To the world, she is a hardworking PA; to Silas, she is a prize he has hunted for years. The Resistance However, the "Ice King" underestimates the internal cracks in his empire. Elena finds unexpected allies in Sarah and Chloe, senior analysts from the 78th-floor finance department. Recognizing Elena as one of their own, they form a "resistance," teaching her the "Dark Arts" of finance and "Seduction 101." They help Elena navigate the psychological warfare of the Vane Empire, turning her into a woman who doesn't just survive Silas’s obsession, but weaponizes it. At a high-profile Gala, Elena undergoes a stunning transformation, appearing in "Vane Red" and the family diamonds to publicly claim the man who thought he had claimed her. The Betrayal The fairy tale is shattered when Elena uncovers a dark secret: Silas didn't just save her family, he engineered their downfall. Through a shell company called Aethelgard, Silas orchestrated the market crash to steal a mineral patent worth billions, using the marriage contract to silence the St. Claires. This revelation kills the "Little Mouse" within Elena. Grief-stricken and vengeful, she resolves to stay in the marriage not as a victim, but as a predator, conducting a secret internal audit to dismantle Silas’s leverage from within. The Takeover As rivals like the Miller family and Silas’s ex-fiancée, Isabella Vance, attempt to tear the empire apart, the power dynamic shifts. Silas, consumed by a love that has turned from possession to genuine desperation, realizes he cannot truly own a woman who has become his equal. In a final act of surrender, he burns the debt contract, offering Elena her freedom and the very patent he stole. The Coronation But Elena St. Claire is no longer the girl she was. Having outmaneuvered the board and the man who bought her, she chooses to reign. The story concludes with a legitimate union on Elena’s terms. She doesn't just melt the Ice King; she takes his throne. The "Gilded Cage" is transformed into a kingdom, and the ruthless billionaire finally learns that in the game of power, the most dangerous move is loving the woman you thought you owned.

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.
