I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.

~ 𝓗𝓲𝓼 𝓓𝓮𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮 ~ ❝ 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 & 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 ❞ "You think you can control me?" I sneered, stepping closer, meeting his dark gaze. Reyaan smirked, his voice silk and steel. "Oh, Temptress, I don't just think, I know. And by the time I'm done, you'll be begging to be mine." I let out a sharp laugh, my nails digging into my palm to fight the heat crawling up my spine. "And what makes you think I'd ever fall for a man like you?" He reached out, fingers ghosting over my wrist. A slow, deliberate touch that sent a forbidden thrill through me. His voice dropped lower, darker. "Because the moment you looked into my eyes... you were already falling." I swallowed hard, masking the fire surging inside me. His breath was dangerously close, his touch feather-light, yet it burned through me like a flame licking at my skin. The way his dark eyes bore into mine sent a shiver down my spine. Damn him. I hated that he had this effect on me. "I'd rather burn in hell," I forced out, my voice steadier than I felt. He leaned in, his lips just inches from mine, his breath warm, intoxicating. "Then let me set you on fire, Temptress." | Enemies-to-Lovers | Mafia Boss x CEO | Possessive Obsession | Power Struggle | | Fiery Chemistry | He was my sin, my downfall. And I was his deepest desire. But in this dangerous game, who would fall first?

"Enemies with benefits?" I said. "Because if you catch feelings, I'm not catching them back." "Won't ever happen," he said. "This is purely physical. Call it whatever helps you sleep, Monroe. Don't care." He grabbed my blouse and shoved it in my mouth. "If you don't want the crew to hear how hard I fuck you, bite down like your life depends on it. I'm not in the mood for your begging. That's your only warning." I nodded and breathed through my nose as he pushed two fingers in. No warmup. No mercy. My back arched and my eyes rolled. The scream stayed in my chest, but my whole body felt so alive. 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫. Ivy Monroe's world shatters the day her father is caught embezzling millions from Hazard industries. But the stolen money isn't the only price to be paid. To settle his debts, Ivy is handed over to the one man who despises her existence: Zade Hazard. A ruthless billionaire. A single father. A man who holds no mercy. To him, she is nothing more than collateral. A living, breathing reminder of her father's betrayal. Bound to his every command, Ivy becomes his personal servant, trapped in a hell of his making. But as the days blur into nights, something shifts. The cold stares last a little too long. The cruel punishments turn into something else entirely. Hatred was easy. Obsession? Inevitable. But love? That was never part of the deal. Now, in a dangerous game where power and desire intertwine, Ivy must decide. Can she escape the grip of the man who owns her, or has she already fallen too deep?
