Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block. She makes a desperate choice and places her fate in the hands of the mysterious man who once caught her stealing. She does not know he is the King of England.

Caught between the king who awakened her heart and the duke who may be her safest escape, Livia is pulled into a dangerous court.

He has been reborn as Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis, heir to the western armies of the Mongol Empire. And he knows what awaits him. He knows the Mongols will reach Europe, then retreat. He knows the empire will tear itself apart over succession. He knows history will squander this unmatched momentum. He refuses that future. With modern knowledge of warfare, logistics, and statecraft, Batu begins reshaping the western frontier. From tribal bloodshed to imperial ambition, from the steppes to the heart of Europe, he will carve a new destiny.

A girl was born with a spirit that wants to explore and run the world, but is cursed with a dying body. The three goddesses pitied the girl and gave her a new life. But this time, the world isn’t what she had known, and she’s no longer a human! She is now a Uma! She wants to run and show the world who the legend is. With the system designed and created by the three goddesses, she makes her way up from the bottom to the peak! Watch out, world! For I, the Echo Eclipse, am here. Chase after my shadow and watch me run! [Currently developing the story] [The story takes place at the same time Symboli Rudolf enrolled on Tracen Academy. There aren't many comics depicting what Rudolf went through, so I had to research the races she ran in real life, her personality and the relationship she had before becoming Triple Crown Champion. I have to take a guess from the lines in the game and in the Cinderella Gray Manga. So you'll have to forgive me if I got something wrong during the time Symboli Rudolf was active.]

Conscripted at fifteen, Park Seongjin steps into a war already older than his fear. His father has fallen. His brother is missing. His name is carved into wood and sent toward the frontier. He is not a prodigy. He is not chosen. He is merely another boy placed inside iron and dust. War does not create heroes—it erodes them. Steel demands discipline. Loss demands endurance. Campaign after campaign, repetition after repetition, the body learns before the mind understands. On battlefields ruled by ironclad cavalry and endless formations, he survives—not through brilliance, but through restraint. Not through destiny, but through persistence. Yet in surviving, something begins to take shape. The sword ceases to be a weapon alone. It becomes a path. This is a slow-burning war and progression story about experience, discipline, and the forging of a swordsman—step by step, until the blade and the man are no longer separate. This is my first time sharing my work on a global platform. I truly look forward to your evaluation and feedback. I am particularly interested in how readers from different cultural backgrounds perceive the story. Thank you sincerely.

Eloise’s hand trembled as Damien closed the distance between them. “You know too much,” he said, his voice low yet threatening. “Then give me reason to keep your secret,” Eloise replied, her chin lifting with defiance.

TITLE: Reborn in Gary: The Second Life of the King CATEGORY: Realistic Fiction / Transmigration & Reincarnation TAGS: Reincarnation, Music, System, Redemption, Historical Fiction, Emotional, Drama, Fame, Second Chance, Slice of Life, Trauma, Family, Coming of Age, Genius Protagonist, Fix-It --- SUMMARY: On a cold Tuesday morning in 2024, twenty-nine year old Marcus Webb closes his eyes for the last time after a sudden cardiac arrest in his Chicago apartment. He leaves behind nothing remarkable — a modest apartment, a streaming playlist, and a lifelong obsession with the greatest entertainer who ever lived. He never published anything. Never created anything. Never became anything. He just loved Michael Jackson deeply, completely, and quietly his entire life. He knew every lyric. Every interview. Every court document. Every betrayal. Every surgery. Every tear. He studied the man the way scholars study scripture. So when Marcus opens his eyes again and finds himself staring up at a cracked ceiling in Gary, Indiana, wrapped in a thin cotton blanket in the summer of 1958, he does not scream. He does not cry. He simply lies there in his newborn body, with his adult mind fully intact, and thinks one single thought. He knows exactly how this life ends. He knows about the poverty of Gary. The tiny two bedroom house on Jackson Street with nine children crammed inside its walls. He knows about Joe Jackson, the cold and iron-handed patriarch who will turn his sons into stars through a method that walks the narrow and brutal line between discipline and cruelty. He knows about the rehearsals that never end, the belt that comes down without warning, and the childhood that gets swallowed whole by ambition. He knows about the Motown audition and the Ed Sullivan appearances and the screaming crowds that will surround him before he is even old enough to understand what fame truly costs. He knows about Quincy Jones and the genius that will pour out of them together. He knows about Thriller and the moonwalk and the single white glove and the night on May 16, 1983 when he will slide across a stage and the world will collectively lose its breath. He knows about the vitiligo and the surgeries and the loneliness that quietly hollows a man out from the inside even as a billion people are screaming his name from the outside. He knows about 1993. He knows about Martin Bashir. He knows about Neverland and what it represented, both the beauty of it and the danger of it. He knows about Dr. Conrad Murray and the propofol and the morning of June 25, 2009 when the most famous human being on the planet died alone on a floor while the people around him scrambled to protect themselves instead of him. Marcus Webb knows all of it. And now he is Michael Jackson. Not a copy. Not a shadow. Not a character in a story. He is in the body, behind the eyes, inside the mind of the boy who will become the King of Pop. Every milestone that awaits him is one he has studied obsessively from the outside. Now he must live it from the inside. He must learn to walk in a body that is not his while carrying memories of a life that no longer exists. He must sit at a dinner table with nine siblings and a father who terrifies him and a mother who is the only soft thing in the house and pretend that he is just a little boy when in truth he is a grieving adult who knows far too much about what is coming. The system arrives on his third day of life. It does not announce itself with fanfare. It appears simply as text at the edge of his vision, clean and white and impossibly calm. LEGEND SYSTEM ACTIVATED. HOST IDENTIFIED. MISSION: PROTECT THE LEGACY. REWRITE THE ENDING. What follows is not a fantasy. It is not an escape. It is the most difficult thing Marcus Webb has ever faced, because the enemy he is fighting is not a person or a system or an industry. The enemy is the slow and invisible damage that gets done to a child when the world decides he be

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.
