|SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH| |9X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| 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. *** *Moral: "Loss hurts, but it's not the end of the world."* *Word Count: 50,000-52,000* *#SupportHistoricalLGBTQVoices* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

Li Wei had always been regarded as trash, said to possess a trash spirit root. At his moment of despair, he awakened. Who would have thought that the trash spirit root was a chaos spirit root, his physique a primordial chaos body, his bloodline was that of an ancient god, and dao bone was a divine dao bone. Equipped with the memories of an ancient god after awakening his bloodline, he walks the path to the peak.

Every "Diver" gets 96 hours on Earth before the Black Thirst disease drags them back... Back to Thirstfall—a brutal otherworld where a ruthless system called Ocean's Law decides who lives, who dies, and who gets erased. Most Divers break within a year. Dryden Sands lasted ten. He clawed from nothing to Rank-A with a class everyone called trash. He mapped hidden dungeons, cracked the system's blind spots, and survived things that shouldn't be survivable. Then the person he trusted most killed his family and took everything. Including his life. But dying triggered something—a relic fused to his soul that no one was supposed to find. It didn't save him. It reset him. Same world. Same body. Directly to Day one, when everything started. He knows where every secret is buried. Every trap. Every traitor. But his body is Rank-F, his new class is rated SSS, his time is bleeding out, and the system has already flagged him as something that shouldn't exist. In Thirstfall, the ocean doesn't just drown the weak. It hunts who shouldn't belong anymore. -------------- #No harem. #No romance plot armor. #Mostly survival.

An actor with a system that allows him to don on infinite number of identities in countless different fantasy worlds. --- Carter Hayes, a method actor of the 21st century died while saving a kidnapped girl from a gang of criminals. Instead of heaven or hell, his soul was snatched to the Prime World, a realm that governs over countless smaller dimensions. He became an expendable for a minor faction called Cyber Runner. This multiverse, however, had another plan for him. At the moment of arrival, he had awakened the Infinite Skin System. [HOST FOUND] [INFINITE SKIN SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [ELDRITCH KNIGHT ACQUIRED] [ELDRITCH KNIGHT: THE KILLER OF TERROR] Carter was thrown into a world full of monsters. But he had no worries, with Eldritch Knight, he leveled the entire horror world. Then he jumped dimensions. There was an endless amount of dimensions in Prime World. Dimension of the Mystic Arts. Dimension of Medieval Adventurers. Dimension of Futuristic Dystopian. Dimemsion of Magical Fairy Tales. And many more. Carter stood on top of them all with his smooth face with no characteristic. He smiled and picked a dimesion he liked. His hand casted over his face, changing his appearance and powers. "The world is my stage. The people are characters on a script. The skins are my roles. I have more names than there are stars. I have more titles than there are worlds. I am the Blank Space, Lord of Destiny, the Wandering Sage. I am Insidius, the Third Wind, and Devourer of Flesh. My sword is the Prisoner. My wand is the Light-Bearer. My knife is the Dark-Chaser. I am the First Man, the Tragic One, and Truth-Seeker. I am Carter Hayes."

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

This compilation is a harmonious blend of emotionally charged poetry, and thought provoking lyrics. Dive in. Or just dip your feet in from the shoreline. Just be ready for an internal swim. What comes after we've healed? How long does it take for the walls to come down? Will I ever really love again? Welcome to my process. I present to you: Sunsets & Synthetics.

NO SMUT. My name is Clara, and I was murdered by the two people I trusted most—my fiancé and my stepsister. Sickly, powerless, and foolishly kind, I couldn’t even fight back as they took everything from me. As I lay dying, regret was the only thing I had left. I thought of all the stories I once loved—tales where villainesses lived boldly, took what they wanted, and never begged for love that would only betray them. For the first time, I wished I could be like them. Then a voice answered. "Congratulations, host. You’ve been chosen for the Villainess System." When I opened my eyes, I was no longer the girl who died. I had transmigrated into the body of Seraphina Helene Valemont—a woman feared, powerful, and destined to fall—in a world of magic and nobility. Armed with a mysterious system that rewards ruthlessness, punishes weakness, and pushes me toward becoming something far darker, I now stand among scheming nobles, manipulative royals, and enemies who hide behind perfect smiles. But this time, things will be different. Love? Trust? Mercy? I already died for those once. This time, I will be ruthless. This time, I will survive. And if this world insists on casting me as the villainess— Then I will become the most unforgettable one it has ever seen. After all… this is exactly what I wished for. ***** Please support me in any way you can. 100 power stones= 2 extra chapters. 20 golden tickets= 3 extra chapters. 1 Magic Castle = 5 extra chapters in the span of 2 days. 1 Golden Gachapon= 10 extra chapters in the span of 3 days (I know this may be too much but I'm just dreaming here.)

Warning: Heavy sexual content and a fucked up male lead. Throw morally grey out the window. Excerpt: "Do you trust me?" His hand drifted to her neck. If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.

Intrigued by her defiance, Alaric claims Rosalind as his own, and suddenly she is trapped in his castle, under the scrutiny of his watchful eyes, sinful tongue, and burning touch. Desperate to escape, she discovers a secret ally in a mysterious servant, one whose true identity shocks her and forces her to question everything she thought was real, with the fact that her father hadn't been in debt at all but had handed her to the malicious king with evil intentions. Rosalind finds herself caught between two men: the controlling, prideful king who desires her completely, and the enigmatic servant who sees her as more than a prize. In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

Leo Kaito was a nobody in the paddock; a simulator technician for the failing Arcadia Racing team, watching others live his dream. Until he activated Simex. [Infinite Simulation Mode initialized. Escape condition: 1,000,000 perfect laps.] For what felt like decades, Leo lived a cycle of death and resets.

Thrust into the cockpit as a desperate replacement driver, Leo doesn’t just drive; he dominates. But as he climbs the standings, he realizes the simulation never truly ended. Simex has leaked into the real world. Now, Leo must win the World Championship to prove that human instinct can still beat the machine that perfected him.

"A world with nothing but monsters, screaming, working, and riots. Endless pain, torture, and regret, it follows me, everywhere. A lingering pain of despair always passes through me, but only people with abilities can live a good life of riches and fame, me? I work at a convenience store with a small paycheck every month. Can the MC find a place of peace, or even love in a place of nothing but destruction and power?

Earth was ravaged with wormholes of unknown origin, each one taking in people and objects—including cities. They distorted in-and-out of existence; they threatened life—further threatening Fynix, a young boy recently bullied and headed home. The floor cracked, and took him into a wormhole. Within—or outside—lies the 'Multiversus Passageway'. an infinitely expansive roadway of tubes that defy gravity, time, and laws of what were known; creatures, monsters, and whatever inbetween flow through these tubes. They are distributed to planets—known as Essence—to live. Fynix breaks out of his tube, and gets sent to Everdon—the floored planet with 3 gods. Will he survive? Will he die? Read to find out. (Hopefully I get better at writing later on, so early chapters might not flow smoothly or read well.)

Every remaining guy instantly shrank 70% downstairs (goodbye big dicks), but their asses ballooned into massive, jiggly, shelf-like bubble butts. Horniness went nuclear with almost no outlets, so the world flipped: bottoms worshipped the rare 3-5 inch kings, anal orgasms ruled, and nonstop fucking killed all violence. Femboys accidentally solved world peace. Link for images: https://discord.gg/gsAVk6Fp

Death is never an option for a cursed soulless wretch. After awakening in the Land of the Soulless, home to five great kingdoms and creatures of legend, a soulless man only knows fighting and death.

All in the name of reclaiming his memories, defeating Champions of the Gods, gives the soulless tank a little bit of the personality he's been missing. Ye' of no soul may be cursed to die, but for this brute it's a blessing in disguise *TRIGGER WARNING: descriptions of SA and graphic war violence *Updates at least once per day *Heavily inspired by Dark Souls.
