abandoned

In a world where ferocious monsters and dangerous Gate are an everyday occurrence, only the strongest survive. The weak, as always, are sacrificed for the greater good. Jeremy is one of them. Betrayed, discarded, and condemned to death, he seems destined for certain doom. But fate is always unpredictable, and the choices of some never unfold as expected. "I'm not a monster, I swear," he said, turning around with a grin. "They are the real monsters." A wave of disgusted stares hit him from all directions. "Okay, maybe they're not monsters… maybe they're worse," he added, nodding seriously. "But me? Nah. I'm the exception." And then it wasn’t just the humans looking at him with disdain. Even the so-called "monsters" behind him were staring in silence, their eyes fixed on him with what could only be described as mild offense—like their master's behavior had somehow embarrassed them. Not that they could—or would—kill him over it. Probably. The novel contains some violent scenes. They are skippable and do not affect the reading experience. However, I feel it's important to mention it. Additionally, the novel will have a sarcastic tone and won't be too serious. #Undead #Necromancer #Summons #Skeleton

In a quiet desert town clinging to the edge of change, Anna Hernandez lives a life of routine and quiet strength. A seamstress at the unlikely dress shop Rosewood and Ribbons, Anna is no stranger to hardship — but her latest trouble threatens to drag her under. Caught in a dangerous debt to a violent outlaw named Silas “Silver Grip” Crowe, Anna must navigate a week of impossible choices if she wants to protect the only family she has left: her younger brother, Sammy.

But as the deadline looms, Anna finds herself running out of time, and out of places to hide the truth. Set against the backdrop of a town where nothing stays still for long, A Time in the West is a character-driven gothic western about resilience, chosen family, and the high price of survival. Told in Anna’s fiercely honest voice, this story lays bare the tension between pride and vulnerability, loyalty and self-preservation — and the quiet bravery it takes to keep going when the world feels like it’s already written your ending.

Fifty thousand dollars!" someone barked like they were auctioning off livestock. That was the first thing I heard when I woke up—chained, collared, and confused. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here. Yeah… me too. One moment, I was yelling into a megaphone in front of Bio Gen Tower, protesting their twisted experiments on women’s fertility. The next? I was injected, blacking out as my protest sign got stomped into the pavement. I didn’t wake up in a hospital. I woke up in a whole new world. Here, I’m not a protester. I’m not even a person. I’m a Breeder. Apparently, my new body belongs to a rare class of women with "high fertility"—a walking womb meant to repopulate a kingdom on the brink. And just my luck? I was bought at a dark auction by five dangerously powerful Alpha brothers. Each one wants something different from me: The cold, commanding heir who sees me as property. The sly second who toys with me for fun. The hostage prince who hides daggers in every smile. And the wild twin brothers—charming, reckless, and always watching. They think I’m just a tool. A means to an heir. But I didn’t die fighting for women’s freedom just to become someone’s pet. They may have bought my body, but my mind? My fire? That still belongs to me. And if they think I’ll roll over and obey… They’re not ready for the kind of woman I really am. ---

As Elias digs deeper, his own mind begins to fray. Dreams press too close to waking. Shadows linger longer than they should. And with each passing day, Dunwich’s Reach wraps tighter around him; its residents, its silence, its whispered horrors.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?
