[𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃] The goddess of the night brought the twins, Akrasia and Nikholai, into the world through her union with a mortal man named Kyrios Argus Schadenfreude, whose life was taken by Khaos soon after the twins turned the age of seven, thus making them the only surviving members of the Schadenfreude Lineage, one of the founding families in Skíathos Magnisia, Greece. In their early lives, their father used to tell them stories about their mother being the primordial goddess of the night; hence, it was not always unbeknownst to them that they were direct descendants of Nyx, but it took them some time to grasp the truth. At first, they thought those tales were just their father's way of filling the void left by the absence of their "real" mother. But later on, they unconsciously unveiled the powers that were bestowed upon them. Finally believing that they are indeed demi-deities, they sought guidance which led them to a community that sheltered children of all greek gods. However, as they were the first and only children of the night, the twins were treated as outcasts and so they fled. In pursuit of companions, they found themselves in the House of Night, a sanctuary for the children of the night, under the care of High Priestess Evanora, who at that time was the only one whom the goddess blessed her presence to, and eventually to everyone she marked, including Nikholai, but somehow not Akrasia. Driven by her yearning to be worthy of her mother's presence, Akrasia resorted to breaking her oath, which led to her ultimate downfall.

The Villain Series No. 1 Due to Zero almost wiping out the fictional dimension, Fictosa's system malfunctioned. It has failed to distinguish the boundary between two dimensions and allowed the villains from the most grossing and award-winning books to leave steps in the real world. And Adamas Riscarte, a villain in love with his author, grabs the opportunity to know the reason why she abandoned him after promising a sequel focused in his perspective. He wants to see her only to find out she committed a suicide. She leaves him a note containing an order. Bestowed with power, he vows to punish everyone who pushed her to death. He will leave no ounce of mercy for those who hurt his maker, and like the villain he is, he will make his own judgement. Content warning: This story contains suicide, suicide attempt, depression, self-harm, violence, trauma, miscarriage, death, and detailed killings that may bring discomfort for some readers. Please be advised. The author doesn't want to cause any triggers. Prioritize one's state of mind all the time. Thank you. Highest rankings: 235 in Fantasy (January 15, 2023)

"Lies, deceit, and greed are the soils, darkening the ground like a stain on souls. The seed taken from a sanguine heart and thrown to this filthy ground shall crack; roots will crawl out to cling onto the soil of their sins, and the largest, most beautiful flower there up on the surface shall bloom." --- Twofold Litanies Season 1 --- 11/20/25: cover illustrated by Jul Feng (Completed) (Undergoing offline construction)

[ONC 2025 HONOURABLE MENTION] A witch's broom is for flying and should never be used for cleaning unless you are Isolde Cromsbane.

But when a warlock comes looking for a forbidden book, which she had already burned to ashes by mistake, she is forced to cast the magic by herself. It's just a single spell after all.

Inside, there's a spell that could bring back your lost love - but at what cost? © Copyrights Reserved 2025
