Taken by the cold

Apple_Pie_2920
Some hearts freeze to protect themselves. Others, to forget what warmth once felt like. Odette Throne never needed anyone. Or so she told herself. Emotionally distant and disillusioned by the toxicity of her home, Odette leaves everything behind—her country, her family, and every piece of her past—for a quiet college life abroad. She isn’t here to make friends. She isn’t here to belong. She’s here to be alone—on purpose. But then she meets him. Frost Ashford—sharp-tongued, equally guarded, and as cold as the snow-covered city they now call home. From the moment they cross paths, their silent battles begin—icy glances, indifferent conversations, and a strange magnetic pull neither of them can fully ignore. As their worlds reluctantly begin to intertwine, Odette finds herself confronting a truth she’s long buried: it’s not loneliness she craves, but understanding. But Frost has his own walls. And sometimes, love doesn’t melt cold hearts—it breaks them. Taken by the Cold is a slow-burning story about two souls who’ve grown used to silence, learning that sometimes, the right kind of quiet can feel like home.

ChronoQuest: Infinite Reincarnations

Identical twin leads, cursed to reincarnate, each quest offers a new era, new realm, and a new race. If they fail? They start the quest over! They succeed? Back to god of Time’s realm to select one of three quests to embark on, retaining all rewards in their twin ChronoQuest system. They can change to any race they’ve lived a life as but always restart at level 1 with a new race! Mina and Sora are identical twins raised in a war-ridden world. During their final year of school, their parents fall to Vigor in the Demon King’s lair. Armed with one mission: avenge their parents, they achieve that goal, but rather than enjoying peace and a normal life, the Demon King transfers his infinite reincarnations to the unwilling twins. They wake up in the spirit world known as world's edge, where they meet Chronos, the god of Time. He informs them they’ve activated the ChronoQuest system, and they have 3 options. 1. Year: 1000. Humankind is war ridden over an antidote to a disease that takes the lives of many. The rich can afford it, the poor cannot, which drove nations to war. Race: Human. Objective: Win the war and mass produce the antidote. 2. Year: 750. The Elf race is facing extinction by the hand of Humankind. They have been pushed back to their last remaining Kingdom, “Sanctuary.” Race: Elf. Objective: Save the elven race and bring them back to prosperity as Humans equal. 3. Year: 100. Dragons rule the world and allow for humans, dwarves and wyvern to exist. The Dragons are at war, as some feel they should rule over the weak, as other dragons feel they should all exist as one. Race: Dragon. Objective: Pick a side and end the war. "You now have 15 minutes to make a selection!" Each choice sends the twins on a unique path, and they are given unique skills by the gods they choose to complete quests for. If you like fantasy, humor, multiple worlds and realities with main characters who go from weak, as level 1: Human: master of weapons [common skill] to eventually strong with different races they can shapeshift into, this is the place for you. If they fail their mission, they return to Worlds Edge and have to start over. If they take their own life, or kill their twin, all progress and rewards will be lost, permanently. However, if they are able to complete the quests, each granted by a different god, they retain their memories, their magic, their skills and more! Races include... you’ll have to find out! I promise, there will be hints along the way, but you surely won’t be disappointed. After all, Sora loves to say, “dragons, definitely dragons!” Will he ever get his wish?! Find out in ChronoQuest: Infinite Reincarnations! Have a great day!
