angst

‘Of all things that happen in my life, why is it a transmigration?’ That question kept lingering on my mind when I was first dropped in this esper-guide world. I thought I could live my life peacefully and watched the story unfold from the sideline, but... "I want you to become my esper, Ethan." The guide and main character of this world, Ilyas Anderson, chased after my heart instead. . I only post on Webnovel and Scribblehub.

Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”

In a pack built on power, Amethyst stands at the very bottom — an omega with forbidden fairy blood and a heart that has loved Evren Cael Sterling far longer than she should. He is the future Alpha, born of wolves and demons, destined for greatness… and destined to despise everything she is. A death — a tragedy tied to her parents — forged a hatred sharp enough to cut worlds apart. Yet when the pack torments her, Evren’s rage never touches her. He keeps his distance, keeps his mask, keeps pretending she means nothing. Until the night she collapses, silent and unmoving, and the truth he’s buried under years of anger claws its way to the surface. As Amethyst lies trapped between life and death, old rivalries awaken, ancient secrets unfurl, and the thin line between enemies and fated souls begins to blur. Their worlds were never meant to touch — claws and wings were destined to clash — but some stories ignite in the very place they’re forbidden to exist. Between Claws and Wings is a poetic tale of inherited wars, quiet devotion, and a love powerful enough to defy the past…if it doesn’t destroy them first.

#Mature# She ran from the mafia… and into a deal with the devil. Desperate to save her family, Dora agrees to Dante Bellini’s ruthless offer: carry his child in exchange for his protection.

He read the blasted book once, and now, he's in it?! Elias Quinn never cared for his sister’s obsession with that mafia romance novel. He skimmed it once, remembered a few dramatic plot twists, and moved on with his life. Until he wakes up in the story as a background character. He’s not the 'fated' Omega. He’s not even important. So why is the ruthless Mafia Alpha suddenly obsessed with him? The plot’s gone off the rails. So has the Alpha.

[Reincarnated, irritated, and deeply unimpressed] [Even tyrants deserve eight hours of zero drama] [Born again—and it's still my problem] I’ve read enough stories about people getting stuck in my situation — fighting tooth and nail just to survive. Typical tales. And I hate typical. Typical people. Typical situations. Even typical words. So imagine my delight when I woke up as the villainess — a lazy tyrant destined to die for her crimes. I mean, seriously? Well, news flash: I’m not planning on dying in this life. In fact, I was ready to just chill, stay out of the plot entirely— AS IF! The male lead just had to fall for me first. And now I’m out here trying to convince the female lead that she’s head-over-galaxies in love with him. Yeah, sounds totally sane, right? (haha ಥ-ಥ) I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it. HAPPY READING! P.S. She’s a sensitive lil’ shit… so go easy on her. >.

It was known to everyone in the Royal Academy that Syrena Marvelle harbored feelings for the head of the student council, Zildan Vale. She confessed her feelings openly, standing before everyone without hesitation. Though her confession was met with rejection, Syrena never stopped chasing after him. She loved him deeply, sincerely, and without restraint. Everyone believed it. To them, her devotion was unquestionable. Until the day she disappeared. There was no major accident, no sign, and no warning. It was simply another ordinary day. And before Zildan realized it, the girl who had always followed him, who had endlessly irritated him, was no longer there. No one knew where she went. Syrena and her friends had all left the academy. Others believed it was because of their background, that there was a future brighter than the academy waiting for them elsewhere. Zildan believed that too. After all, the distance between him and Syrena had always been too great. They were never meant to walk the same path. But then, who could explain the ache in his heart at the thought of never seeing her again? Why did her absence trouble him so deeply? Why did she leave so abruptly, after quietly disrupting his once orderly life? Countless questions lingered in Zildan’s mind, yet none could be answered. The one person who had unsettled his world had vanished without a trace. Those buried questions came to light the moment their paths crossed again. And this time, Zildan has no intention of letting her slip away.
