Bill and the Whistling Death

|10X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · PERFECT FOR FANS OF A MAN CALLED OVE AND REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES!| A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. *** Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *#SupportHistoricalLGBTQVoices* Trigger Warnings (this book is a drama and touches on heavy topics, inspired by my father and grandpa's service in the Navy and my father's reaction to my older brother's death in 2021. However, it's a clean story.): - War trauma (including PTSD) - Survivor's guilt - Lots of angst - Accidental murder, and Bill's struggle to accept his friend's confession of being queer at first.

THE GOD EATER

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Return of Black Lotus system:Taming Cheating Male Leads

WARNING: ITS A 18+ BOOK Heena stretched on the warm sand, sipping coconut water. Finally, peace. No scheming heroines, no brooding male leads—just her and the ocean. “HEENA! MOTHER! I FOUND YOU!” Her eye twitched. Not now. Floating above the beach was a golden lion with sparkling wings. “System 547,” she said, gritting her teeth. “I’m on vacation.” “But the worlds are collapsing! Male leads are going crazy! Villainesses are dying! White lotus heroines are ruining everything!” “Not my problem.” “You’re the Black Lotus! Only you can fix this!” “Exactly why I deserve a vacation.” “No rules! Slap them, seduce them, team up with the villainess—anything!” Heena sipped her coconut. “If I say yes, triple points, rare items from every world, and six months vacation after.” “Done! Anything!” the lion shouted, tail wagging. Heena stood, brushing sand off. “Fine. Show me these broken male leads.” Her smirk was dangerous. . . . The portal threw Heena onto cold marble floors. Her head spun as чуж memories flooded in. Empress Celeste Ravencourt. Five husbands. A dying empire. “Great,” Heena muttered. “I’m the villain.” A tiny golden lion appeared beside her. “Welcome to World 12! You’re married to five powerful men who all hate you. They’re meeting tonight to poison you and crown the heroine instead.” “Let me guess,” Heena sighed. “White lotus?” “Lady Seraphina. Sweet, kind, system-backed. They’re all in love with her.” Heena rubbed her temples. The body was weak, starved, exhausted. No wonder Celeste died so easily. “Fine,” she said, pulling off the heavy jewelry. “That empress is dead. I’m not.” She chose a simple dark dress, tied her hair up, and met her reflection. The sadness vanished. Confidence took its place. At dinner, five men waited—cold, powerful, deadly handsome. Warriors, priests, generals, spies. Every one of them wanted her gone. Wine was poured into her glass. Poisoned. Obvious. They watched her closely. Heena lifted the glass, smiling lightly. “To new beginnings.” She drank it all. The silence cracked. Nothing happened. Their faces changed—shock, fear, disbelief. Heena leaned back, calm and smiling. “Now,” she said softly, “which one of you thought killing me would be that easy?” AUTHORS NOTE: Thank you so much for all the support!

Daito Saga: Fair Play

Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.
