vellum's labyrinth

In a world where sweetness conceals shadows, the fabled Chocolate City is unreachable, its metropolis constructed on sweet treats, industry, and secrecy. No outsider has ever entered—until six children, each hailing from a far-flung part of the world, are chosen by mystical, chocolate-grown invitations. They include Nia Calvert, a resourceful and careful girl from a poor district; Felix Moreau, a privileged and arrogant boy; Aya Kimura, a quiet artist with the rare gift of seeing flavors as colors; Tomas Vega, a mechanically gifted scavenger; and mischievous twins Lina and Leo Bell. Curiosity, ambition, or hunger lures each to the city, unaware that their selection carries far more than prestige. Under the tutelage of the inscrutable chocolatier Ambrose Vellum, the children embark upon an urban odyssey through the dazzling districts: chocolate rivers, caramel fountains, sugar forests, and factories that appear to hum with a life of their own. Each sweet delight, each glimmering street, speaks to a fully imagined world-beautiful, yet subtly unsettling. Beneath its surface, the city hides secrets. The children feel a pulse beneath the streets, a soft heartbeat that's getting louder with every step. Where there should be no shadow, something moves. Whispers emanate from corners of darkness, and even the citizens seem strangely alive: watching, waiting. Most dangerous of all is the Bitter District: a forbidden quarter walled off from the rest of the city, pulsing with dark energy that hints at the true cost of Vellum's perfection. The children, tugged by curiosity and courage toward its gates, begin to realize that the Chocolate City is a labyrinth-not just one of sweets and wonder, but one of secrets, traps, and desires that can devour those who step too close. Velum's Labyrinth is a dark, magical tale of wonder and dread where innocence meets obsession, and the line between sweetness and danger blurs. The children are to learn that in this city built of chocolate, every delight carries a shadow, and every choice may have a bitter price.

The Omega In The School For Alphas

"Why do you have pheromones like an omega? You smell like one too," Lucius asks, his eyes darkening, his wolf rising to the surface. Panic rises in my chest. If he knows—if anyone knows—it’s over. My father will kill me.......... They call me *Raven Blackwood*—firstborn of two powerful Alphas, heir to strength, glory, and all that wolf-pack pride. Except there’s just one tiny problem… I’m not an Alpha. I’m not even close. I’m the thing they all despise. An Omega. My father lied the day I was born. Spun a story about a curse, locked me away, and pumped me full of blockers so no one would ever sniff out the truth. For eighteen years, I’ve been his little secret, hidden like a shameful mistake. Now I’ve been dragged into an Alpha Academy—the one place where secrets like mine don’t just slip out… they explode. Picture it: one Omega, trapped in a school of Alphas. My step-siblings hate me, my wolf refuses to wake, and my pheromones are starting to betray me. Oh, and did I mention my sworn enemy—the infuriating, arrogant, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Lucian—is somehow tangled up in my fate? Fate, by the way, is cruel enough to hint he might be my mate. Add a tomboy roommate who can’t stop looking at me, Lucian’s friends circling like predators, and an entire academy full of power-hungry wolves… And me? Just trying to survive without losing my secret, my freedom, or my heart. Welcome to my nightmare. Or maybe… my beginning.

Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200% Rebate System

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. [Beep! You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money! What Aurora didn't expect, though, was that she would end up becoming one of the technology big shots herself, in the end.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists." [Commencing card creation using ingredients, i)Bloody Veins - G Rank, Mortal Grade ii)Nyon Rope - G Rank, Mortal Grade iii)Common Core - G Rank, Mortal Grade Card creation… complete! Card Name: Bloody Rope Card Type: Item Card Card Rank: E Rank, Common Grade Card Rating: 3 Stars Card Durability: 100/100 Card Effect: The Bloody Rope can bind and incapacitate its target. When in contact with a target’s wound, it triggers paralysis and blood drain effects. Additional Effect: Paralysis, Blood Drain] "This can’t be real! You used G-rank mortal-grade ingredients and yet crafted an E-rank common-grade card with full durability and a three-star rating? This isn’t real—I must still be dreaming! I couldn’t possibly have woken up today—this has to be a dream!"

Game of Thrones: The Legend of Jon Arctic – ASOIAF/GOT GOT

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!

Game of Dragonborn.

Jon Snow is a Dragonborn after 2 millennia without another appearing, an identity that is neither on the light side nor the dark side, only caring about his own goals before wanting to be good or evil. Some may label him a demon while others a hero, but Jon Snow lives his life as he wants and tries not to have regrets. But even such a powerful being, after years of accumulating power, had a fragile moment at some point. He had a difficult childhood when he lived in Westeros; his uncle hated him for reasons unknown to him, while he was belittled for being a bastard in Winterfell by his uncle's wife. His half-siblings hated him under the influence of his mother. However, at some point, unknown entities took them out of this world suddenly and threw them into Skyrim when he was 8 years old. 12 years later, having experienced everything possible not only in Skyrim but throughout Tamriel, earning titles such as: Dragonborn, Dovahkiin, leader of the Companions, sword of Dawnguard, Archmage, Legalist, regent king of Skyrim, among many others he received inside and outside Skyrim. Now, at 20 years old, he was no longer that scared boy. Jon Snow was summoned by the same entities that brought him to this world back to his old original world, revealed the truth behind his birth. How could the Dragonborn stay silent after hearing this? He wanted revenge and to bring peace to the ghosts who had been wronged for a long time. So, he returns to the North of Westeros, but is the continent prepared for the Dragonborn seeking revenge? The time has passed 12 years in Skyrim and 8 Years in Westeros.

Existence Destined

In a world ruled by spirit arts and false gods, Kael Ravenshade awakens from a seven-year coma carrying the buried weight of countless past lives. He does not remember them clearly, but they shape every instinct he has. Love comes first. Tragedy follows immediately. On the night meant to seal his future with Alisa Silverwindcrest, Kael’s father is murdered for a spirit core he never knew he possessed. The killer is Alisa’s own father, a man driven mad by grief, believing power could resurrect the dead. Life proves otherwise. Death remains absolute. As the city of Oakhaven rots under corruption and fear, monstrous beings known as Noxlurs descend, devouring spirit cores and turning humans into hollow predators. Kael responds not with heroism, but control. He creates Chariot House, a secret organization that exists only in dreams, where members see nothing but shadows and a false sun burning at the center of a long table. There, Kael takes the name Kryris and manipulates powerful individuals into killing without knowing whom they strike. Morality erodes. Blood spreads quietly. The cost is unbearable. Alisa, hypnotized and weaponized, is sent to kill. Her target is Kael’s sister Zara. Kael intervenes too late. On the moon itself, love and violence collide. Alisa dies by Kael’s hand, asking only to be his bride in another life. That moment fractures Kael beyond repair. He abandons the city and travels to Tianzhu, the land of gods, not seeking salvation but understanding. There, Kael learns the truth of the world. The Seven Deadly Sins are not monsters born of hell, but humans living ordinary lives, unknowingly bound to cosmic roles. One by one, Kael breaks their lives apart with precision, forcing their awakenings and bending them to his will. Strategy replaces mercy. Destiny becomes a tool. Meanwhile, Oakhaven collapses. Noxlurs return. Illusions consume reality. Finn, Kael’s closest ally, loses everything. His grief awakens something ancient. He becomes Thalaris, a godlike force tied to destruction and protection alike. Zara, unaware of her nature, begins dreaming of thrones and sins. She is Vanitas, the God of Evilness, commanding horrors without knowing she truly exists as one. The truth finally surfaces. Kael and Finn are not merely friends. They are twins reborn across eras. In the distant past, they discovered spirit arts together. Humanity prospered. Other nations invaded. Finn became the monster history remembers, creating Noxlurs to purge corruption. Kael became something worse, spreading extinction through silent viruses, ending worlds before killing himself. Over and over. Life after life. Memory fading each time. Above them all stands God, not a savior, but a warden. Humanity, empowered by spirit arts, is destroying nature and nearing divinity. God intends to erase them entirely. Every tragedy, every sin, every rebirth was engineered to justify that end. Kael and Finn rebel. They fail. God is untouchable. So Kael chooses the only remaining path. He seals Finn, erases spirit arts, annihilates Noxlurs, and breaks the divine justification for genocide. Humanity is saved not by victory, but by limitation. Centuries later, in the year 2025, the world is quiet. A park holds an ancient sword. Kael and Alisa, reborn, walk together at last. Finn, with his family, lives peacefully. Zara laughs as a child, free of thrones and sins. The sword remains, containing what once nearly destroyed existence. God’s creation was extraordinary. Humanity survived it.
