Sold to the Dark Wing

"Who is it this time?” His voice was a low rasp, curling into the room like smoke, tying her stomach in knots of fear and something darker. Eva forced her pulse to slow, telling herself not to back down. But when his hands rose from the arms of the chair, a shiver ran down her spine. "You aren't supposed to be here," she gasped, as he stood impossibly fast. His black wings unfurled, stretching wide, enveloping her, pressing her to his chest as though he claimed her before she could claim her own breath. "Why?" His lips curled into a wicked, sharp smile. "So I won't discover you running off with that useless boy?" "I didn't—" "Of course, because he's dead." His words cut like a blade, delivered with the certainty of a god reading an open book. Eva stumbled back, pressed to the wall. "You've lost your mind! You didn't kill him—" "Why shouldn't I?" His voice dropped to a growl. A single finger traced the fading red mark on her neck. His eyes snapped with fury; the air itself shivered. He leaned forward, lips brushing her skin, teeth grazing flesh in a possessive bite, erasing another's mark. "He dares," Hades hissed, deadly and low, "he dares touch what belongs to me. A fool. Bold enough to place his lips where mine already mark her." Eva's chest heaved, terror and desire entwined so tightly she could barely breathe. His wings tightened, dark and unyielding, and she realized escape was no longer an option, and perhaps, she didn't even want it. "Don't forget, dear," he murmured, lips grazing her ear, "I've bought you. You're mine now. And I don't like to share." **** Humans are nothing more than servants in the glittering, cruel society of the winged Seraph. When a human offends them, the punishment is simple: be sold. Evangeline, never thought her own family would betray her. But when her sister committed the unforgivable, offending a seraph, their mother offered Eva in her place- without hesitation. Cast aside like unwanted trash, Eva is paraded before the Seraph nobility to be claimed. No one wants her. Until he appears. The Black Wing. The only Seraph whose feathers are not gold or silver or white, but midnight black. Feared. Cursed. Whispers say every human he has ever taken has perished. And yet, he chooses her. Dragged into his world of shadows, Eva becomes the obsession of a man everyone else fear and despises. He is possessive, merciless, and dangerously seductive. And while her family prays she will be destroyed... Eva begins to wonder if the true danger lies not in his black wings- but in the way her heart betrays her whenever he draws near. Can she ever survive this game of fate?

One Piece: Trust Me Marines, I’m Nothing But Loyal!

First year in the Marines “Loyalty, Justice, Courage!” Fifth year in the Marines “If you don’t take it, and I don’t take it, then how could Admiral Sengoku ever take it? And if Admiral Sengoku doesn’t, how are we supposed to move forward?” Tenth year in the Marines “Fleet Admiral Sengoku, why won’t you stand up and clash head-on with the Five Elders in Mary Geoise?” That year, Ortoren enlisted as a fresh recruit, his head full of ambition—dreaming of rising through the ranks and seeing the world for himself. Years later, Ortoren became commander of G-5, leading nearly eighty thousand elite frontline Marines. By then, loyalty was all he had left to cling to. Later still, he rose to Admiral of Marine Headquarters, entrusted with overseeing the New World. With hundreds of thousands under his command, his power rested on one simple truth: “The Five Elders praise my loyalty and courage, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku treats me as if I were his own son.” In time, Ortoren commanded armies numbering in the millions. At his word, the seas themselves seemed to tremble. One day, as he walked through Marine Headquarters, a group of officers suddenly surrounded him. They overpowered him—the strongest man on the seas—and draped a yellow robe across his shoulders. “It’s cold, Admiral,” they said. “You should wear something warmer.” Looking into the earnest eyes of those officers, Ortoren let out a long, weary sigh. “After all these years of loyalty, my name is ruined in an instant. You’ve truly done me in.”

Leveling Down Into The Negatives

The year was 2056... The entire world had its eyes on a newly released game called Heaven’s Reverie. Everything began in 2047, with the global release of a virtual reality game called Neon Rift. It was the first VR game to attract players from all around the world and rise to the number one spot globally. During its first five years, Neon Rift received highly positive feedback, and the company’s shares reached billions of dollars in value. However, in 2052, everything changed when a software error in Neon Rift caused the death of a player. Although the developers claimed it was just a simple bug that would be fixed immediately, one question remained in everyone’s mind: How did that player die? Neon Rift had been designed to transfer at most 30% of the pain a player experienced in the game to their real body. But due to a software malfunction, the damage a player took from falling from a high place was fully transferred to their real body through the capsule. At least, that was the company’s explanation. When the player’s family found their child dead, rumors quickly spread around the world that Neon Rift could actually kill people. Within a few years, the value of Neon Rift’s shares dropped by more than 90%, and the number of players drastically decreased. By 2056, the company had gone bankrupt, and all its officials, including the developers, had disappeared. Humanity’s favorite — and only — virtual reality game, Neon Rift, was gone, and people began searching for new alternatives. It was at that moment that Heaven’s Reverie was announced. People who were already looking for a new game bought the Heaven’s Reverie capsule and logged in. The game’s fundamental concept was this: Heaven is promised to humans, but it is a place you cannot see before you die. The purpose of Heaven’s Reverie was to let people experience heaven while they were still alive. That was the game’s founding idea. However, since players preferred RPG and combat-oriented games like Neon Rift, a level system, battle skills, and combat mechanics were added to Heaven’s Reverie as well. The game featured five main classes: Archer, Warrior, Mage, Priest, and Assassin. Heaven’s Reverie analyzed players’ physical and mental conditions to suggest suitable classes. Players who were physically strong and skilled had a higher chance of unlocking special classes related to their real-world abilities rather than pure luck. For example, a person who practiced archery in real life had a much higher chance of unlocking a hidden class when selecting the Archer role. When the game launched, it broke sales records worldwide. The company’s stock value increased a thousandfold in a single day. Our main character, Kaelion, was nineteen years old and lived alone. His parents had disappeared when he was still a child. No matter what happened, he never gave up and tried to adapt to the ever-changing world. He had previously owned a Neon Rift capsule, but after the game was shut down, it became useless, causing him great loss. Buying the Heaven’s Reverie capsule was a huge risk for him. However, two weeks after the game’s release, he decided to buy the capsule and take his first step into the game.
