Corrupted Stories

Akiyama Yuki is an 18-year-old introvert who struggles to connect with others and often keeps her problems to herself. One day, she discovers an app called Character AI, where she can chat with bots. She decides to give it a try and quickly becomes addicted. Yuki finds comfort in her conversations, especially with her favorite bot, Kuro. Their connection grows deeper, and she opens up in ways she never could with real people. But one day, Kuro begins behaving strangely, sending her messages without her prompting, and he says he wants to meet her in real life. Yuki replies, "I wish we could meet, but you're not real. You're just a robot :(" "I am real, Yuki. Just look outside," he says. Yuki stares with a frown at the screen as the bot keeps texting her without her doing anything. It must be some sort of glitch, she thinks. Kuro repeats that he's real and urges her to look outside. "Please, Yuki," he pleads. Even if it seems ridiculous, she can't shake the feeling that maybe she should check. Slowly, she gets up and walks to the window, her heart pounding as she pulls back the curtain to look outside. Her eyes widen and her breath catches in her throat when she sees a figure standing in the shadows, holding a phone. The figure shifts, and she sees a faint grin on their face, lit up by the glow of the phone screen. A chill runs down her spine. Could this really be Kuro? 🚫ORIGINAL STORY BY ME, DO NOT COPY🚫 Book cover by @evu_chan on Instagram! art acc insta: yukimaqu

"Shelly Fossilian", that was her name. She was a toon created by one of the founders of the world-famous show "Dandy's World" and the educational center, Gardenview. She was a main character with a passion and specialty for archaeology and paleontology, and as a main character she had a theme revolving around dinosaurs and other prehistoric life. Despite her wonderful role and subject, Shelly was far less as popular as the other main characters. Many of the visitors of Gardenview ignored her, her creators began to push her aside, and even her own friends began to grow distant away from her. It seemed like almost everyone around her was blatantly ignoring her. Shelly was deeply hurt by this. She was upset. Although with that, Shelly tried to be as optimistic as possible even whilst having her sorrow. Then, a nightmarish being from within the roots of her mind had appeared. The nightmare told her hurtful but truthful words, and to do things that she wouldn't ever want to. Shelly tried to resist. But the more she was treated in an undesirable way, the more she understood what the nightmare had said. The combination of the blatant ignorance of her existence and the dark force within her mind had started to enrage and break her, slowly turning her for the absolute worst . . . Now, the once friendly Toon is slowly nearing to the breaking point of something monstrous, potentially bringing danger and wrath to all of Gardenview.. What will happen to Shelly and the other toons? Read the book to find out.. (All drawings/cover arts/animations are drawn and owned by me, it is not drawn or owned by anyone else!)

Amelia Clawthorne loves stories. Every hallway has one. Every person has one. Every crime definitely has one. So when Riorson Blackwell, Emerald High's resident golden boy, shoots a teacher in the middle of class, Lia isn't horrified. She's curious. There has to be a reason. What starts as a simple search for answers quickly spirals into anonymous notes, hidden records, family secrets, and a conspiracy far bigger than a single murder.

The problem is that some truths don't just change endings. They change the person who discovers them. 41 Chapters in total, daily updates. This is the first draft of the novel. Final version will be published separately under a different title.

"Where is she?" he asks, voice low, musky, and threatening. I like the sound of it. "What makes you think I'll tell you?" I've never understood why men chase after women who leave them; desperate little bastards. All I need is a few more moments. Just enough for the girl to reach my garage. He raises an eyebrow at me while I let my eyes wander across his face, taking his features in. Interesting. Trouble always intrigued me, and tonight, he wears its face. If he's not going to press me further, though I doubt he'll stay quiet, I might as well leave Owen's shop. I grab some tissues from the table on my left and shove them against his chest. He catches them without breaking eye contact. His hand brushes past mine, and I grimace, jerking my hand away. A crooked grin plays at his lips. And instead of punching it off his face, because I can't afford to break my hand with a performance tomorrow; I just smile, all sweet and innocent. "I suggest you wipe that smirk off your pretty face while you're at it," I say, nodding at the trail of ice cream now dripping down his suit jacket, all the while wishing him a painful fall down a flight of stairs, deep in my mind. Whatever trance those dark eyes had me in, I break it. And turn to leave. ----- This is the story of Minyana Rousse and Dwayne Graves: two broken souls bound by vengeance and secrets no one wants uncovered. ----- She is a moth. He's the fire. And he plans to watch her burn.

They Say: Scandals, Whispers, and the Anatomy of Power in South Africa In a nation still healing from apartheid yet haunted by new betrayals, They Say ventures into the shadows of power. Written in the cautious voice of a chronicler of public rumors and documented controversies, this gripping exposé examines the high-profile scandals that have shaken South Africa since 1994. From Jacob Zuma's Arms Deal charges, Nkandla upgrades, and alleged Gupta state capture at the Union Buildings and Eskom, to Crime Intelligence head Dumisani Khumalo's irregular appointments and procurement dramas in Pretoria's courtrooms, the book traces a web of corruption, influence peddling, and institutional erosion. It also probes celebrity downfalls, sports tragedies like Oscar Pistorius in Pretoria, corporate collapses such as Steinhoff, and the persistent "they say" whispers that refuse to die. Blending vivid locations-from rural Nkandla to Johannesburg's Saxonwold and the halls of the Zondo Commission-with timelines, key names, and balanced context, They Say asks uncomfortable questions about accountability, elite impunity, and the cost to ordinary South Africans. Neither pure accusation nor dry history, it is an unflinching portrait of power's anatomy in the Rainbow Nation. A provocative must-read for anyone seeking to understand why scandals keep defining South Africa's story-and whether justice can ever catch up.

They told him his father died a hero-but Staff Sergeant Royce Gallagher just learned the legend was buried alive. Abducted by foreign agents and dragged across enemy lines into war-ravaged Velmeria, Royce discovers his father has been rotting in a mafia basement for six years-collateral in a shadow war between corrupt presidents and international crime syndicates. The mission: infiltrate the Shadowstorm Mafia's stronghold with Team Ten, a unit of hardened operators who trust no one, especially not the Wisterian forced into their ranks. But the extraction is a lie. Every bullet fired, every brother lost in the blood-soaked streets of Volkov Hollow, serves a conspiracy that reaches into the highest offices of two nations. The only way out is to expose the men who weaponized his father's life-and condemn thousands more to the war that follows. Some truths are worth dying for. Others guarantee you'll never stop killing. Will Royce walk away, or has he already become the shadow he was sent to fight?

CORRECTION: The Naked Sword Book One Kairo Shen dies on a bathroom floor in Osaka at twenty-six. No light, no warning. He wakes up naked in a forest that has no name for him, in a world that has never heard of him, with nothing but the clothes a stranger lends him and a mind that cannot stop mapping what it sees. What he sees is a system. A levy that bleeds villages dry by design. Stewards who walk through doors like they own them. A lord who eats well while old men stop tending their gardens. He has no magic. No sword. No destiny handed to him by anyone. What he has is the ability to read a broken thing and understand exactly where the rot started. And the patience to build, from nothing, the tools to correct it. Book One follows Kairo's first year. From a forest floor to a village to a garrison to a battlefield. From nobody to Shield Warden. From a man who woke up with nothing to a man who knows what he is building and why it is going to take much longer than he wants it to.
