The Dragon's Heart: Unspoken Passion

To the world, Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn is a bride of duty. To her heart, she is a woman desperately chasing the love of the husband who will not look her way. All she ever wanted was for him to care; for him to turn his gaze toward her with the same fervor she carried in her heart. No matter how many times he pushed her away, no matter how cold the silence between them became, she never gave up. Not once did she allow herself to see him as someone unworthy of her love. To her, he was always worth it. And when love at last took root, when it bloomed against every storm that tried to tear them apart; when two hearts finally found each other and dared to beat as one… fate, as cruel and merciless as it is, reminded them that there were forces even love could never conquer. --EXCERPT-- Levan pressed his lips to her temple, his lips trembling as though the kiss itself might shatter him. One hand cradled her face with the kind of gentleness he had never shown anyone, while the other threaded weakly through her hair, trying futilely to soothe the sobs wracking his wife's body. His breath break unevenly, his eyes were shut tight, as if by closing them he could pretend this moment would never come. As if the world might let them stay this way forever. As if the reality of it all could be discarded just so that they could live however they wanted. He let his mouth fall against her cheek and linger there, tasting the salt of her tears as though they were his own. He did not move for a long while… because if this sorrow was the final piece of her he was allowed to carry, he wanted to etch it into his very soul. He wanted to remember the way she shook in his arms. He wanted to remember the sound of her muffled cries. He wanted to remember the warmth of her skin pressed so desperately against him. He wanted to remember her as his wife; his beloved. "Live, my love," he whispered, his voice raw and breaking, the words choking out of him like a prayer he could barely force past his throat. He buried his face against her hair so she would not see the tears spilling freely down his cheeks. "Even if it's far from me… live." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • VERY slow-paced • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • fantasy] >> Here if you like SLOW BURN angsty romance. >> Main conflict starts wayyy later. >> Word count per chapter: 1.5k ~ 2.3k

He Always Loved My Sister - Until I Left

He loved the wrong sister and it cost him everything. Amber Ann Lance-Trace is a highly successful biochemist who built a perfect life—perfect house, perfect job, and a marriage to the charming and handsome, globe-trotting entrepreneur Dan Marcus Trace. The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance. Amber Ann knew the truth but settled for being his second choice, desperately hoping time would turn his heart. Emails from Jessica – heralding her eminent return home after six years abroad – shatters the delicate sham. Just thinking of her husband and sister rekindling their old flame is the catalyst Amber Ann needs. With a silent plan already in motion—a filed resignation, signed divorce papers, and a secret new property—Amber Ann leaves behind the mansion, the career, and the pain, symbolically handing her house keys to Jessica and walking out of her life forever. She is finally ready to build the dream her family always dismissed as "just a hobby": a specialized bakery on the peaceful outskirts of Carson City. But Dan, suddenly given what he felt he had always wanted, finds his fantasy quickly unraveling. Jessica is selfish, critical, controlling, and focused on changing his entire life, while Amber Ann's quiet competence and selfless support are suddenly and painfully absent. When a document courier arrives delivering the final divorce papers, Dan is confronted with the shattering reality: the stable, loving life he took for granted is gone, and the woman he had grown to love has left without a word. Now, Dan must face the brutal truth: He let go of the right sister. The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.

Shattered: A SAO Tale (Sword Art Online)

What if the world's most expected, anticipated vrmmorpg turned out to be the largest, cruelest experiment ever? What if the world's biggest genius turned out to be a sick sociopath? What if 10.000 men and women, children and elderly were trapped in a castle in the sky? What if your life didn't belong only to you? What if fighting was your only option? What if... That was you? -------------------------- Hello, everyone! Gonna be quick here, and list some major points about Shattered which I know many of you will be concerned: Point 1: Just like every other SAO fan out there, I too felt like we received too little of Kirito's and his friends' adventures on Aincrad. There's so much untapped potential, and I plan to make the best of it. So, this story will be covering all 100 floors of Aincrad, if possible. Of course, there might be some skips along the way, and until it's published, the story is always prone to changes, but at least that's the base plan. Point 2: Th MC won't be Kirito, but an original character (an OC, as we like to call them). You will discover more about him as the novel progress, but I can tell you that, one: he is just another person trapped in SAO, and won't have any previous knowledge of the game, and two, it is not a self-insert, but rather, like I already mentioned, just another player. For those of you who read my first novel Broke (shameless plug-in), you can think of him like Dageer, just someone trying their best to survive and to make sure his friends do the same. Point 3: The story will start cannon-ish, but, unlike Broke, it will at some point diverse from cannon (where it will take us, I have no idea). Point 4: I plan to write about the Aincrad and ALO arcs of SAO. As of now, I don't know if we will reach GGO, and most probably not Alicization. Point 5 (and last): This is NOT a harem story. It will also not be one of those novels where the MC ends up with a single girl, but has tons of others pinning for him (as for who the female lead is, I believe you should discover easily, I'm not that great at writing romance). In fact, one of the things that bothered me about SAO the most was that while Kirito only got together with Asuna (and will still do in this fanfic) he had four or five other girls which were left without resolution. Expect that to change. Disclaimer: I don't own the Sword Art Online franchise (obviously) so please don't sue me. Enjoy the novel! And, to start as cliché as possible: LINK START!

Beast Nightmare Sexx

In a floating kingdom of aerial islands inspired by a cruel otome game, where a matriarchal society treats men, especially those from poor, unremarkable noble lineages, as mere disposable “mobs,” accessories for marriage or servants with no future, Shade Fou Bartfort, an 18-year-old young man, struggles to survive as the fifth son of a decaying inland barony. Reincarnated into this merciless world, he carries memories of his former life as an overworked Japanese salaryman and knows perfectly well the hidden rules of the “game”: arrogant female protagonists, radiant capturable princes, and a system that crushes anyone who isn’t at center stage. His already precarious existence turns into an absolute nightmare when, at eighteen, Shade is suddenly infected by the mysterious Nightmare Spell, an ancient curse that drags the chosen into deadly trials while they sleep, turning failures into horrific monsters in the real world. With no privileged resources or elite training, his chances of surviving the First Nightmare are nearly nonexistent. But the Spell detects the anomaly of his reincarnated soul and awakens a rare, defective, and perversely powerful Aspect: [Sex Beast System]. To gain essential Vital Points, which prolong his life and allow him to survive the Spell’s increasingly lethal trials, Shade must perform sexual acts, with greater rewards for virgins and insatiable permanent tasks. His point consumption is absurdly high (one per minute), forcing him into a constant race against death. Worse still, deadly poisons punish him for infidelity or loss of control, and the [Beast Awakening] temporarily turns him into a creature driven by extreme sexual desire, putting everything around him at risk. With his meta knowledge of the otome game’s “original world” as his only initial advantage, and a Flaw that keeps him in the shadows (easily ignored by protagonists and fate alike), Shade decides to subvert the dual system that oppresses him: the dark Nightmare Spell and the oppressive matriarchal society. In academies filled with seductive and dangerous nobles, aerial duels, summoned monsters, and romantic intrigues manipulated by powerful women, he will use cynical intelligence, addictive sexual powers, and ruthless tactics to ascend, transforming from a forgotten virgin mob into an unpredictable beast that devours the world that rejected him. A fusion of desperate survival, uncontrollable desire, and calculated revenge in a universe that punishes mobs… but was never prepared for a sexual beast who knows every weakness of its queens.

THE PRESENCE

His name was Nathaniel Emberworth Wyndham, a simple nineteen-year-old with unruly dark hair that often fell over his deep, shadowed eyes, he moved unnoticed through the bustling streets of the city he reluctantly called home—a world too loud for someone who preferred silence. But one day, everything changed. Nathaniel found himself in another world—Infipousdefinity Despous Ta-Neter Mundus—a place of endless mysteries, strange beings, and creatures unlike anything known to man. **The reason i created this novel** Sometimes, we find ourselves in new places—new environments, new cultures, surrounded by new people. And in those unfamiliar worlds, some will take advantage of your ignorance. They will trick you, deceive you, or try to manipulate you for their own gain. In such an environment, where there’s no one to rely on but yourself, you must observe carefully and stay cautious. Don’t give your trust easily. Learn to survive and live on your own without depending too much on others. We dream new dreams. We grow cautious because of people. We crave things like status and wealth, knowing how hard life can be without them. We miss the ones we used to laugh with, miss our families—even just a little. We feel the distance, the separation, and fear we might not overcome the challenges ahead. As our surroundings change, we experience new things. Some people abandon us, while others change on their own—maturing, evolving. Yet even as we grow, we remain the same person behind that mature facade. We stumble and cry, we feel pain and keep it buried inside. But in time, we learn to fight back, realizing that pain fades once we learn to shield and defend ourselves.
