Strong-willed Stories

Carmen Sandiego - for some she's a thief, for others she's a hero. But the truth is that this woman is both. Carmen Sandiego steals from V.I.L.E., a secret league that steal important historical and cultural artifacts from museums, private collections, castles or just from bancs. Carmen is their former student but also the former daughter of the Faculty. Raised on the secret V.I.L.E. island, the academy for professional thieves and their professors is the only thing she knew. Or at least until recently. After accidentally seeing what exactly her classmates and the leaders of V.I.L.E. do and are ready to do, she escapes and starts a new life on which she thought she had complete control over. Graham Calloway inscribed for the V.I.L.E. academy in search for something more. But he never imagined that this 'something more' would be a young girl known as Black Sheep. What begins as an unlikely friendship between two students slowly grows into something neither of them expected, even as the paths laid out before them threaten to pull them apart. As Carmen builds a reputation as the elusive thief who always stays one step ahead, Graham finds himself caught between loyalty to the organization that gave him a future and the girl who taught him to question it. Across continents, heists, betrayals, and years of separation, both will be forced to decide who they truly are and what they are willing to sacrifice for the people they care about. This is the story of how Black Sheep became Carmen Sandiego, how Graham Calloway became Crackle, and how two people standing on opposite sides never stopped changing each other's lives.

Devon Kite refuses to care about relationships. At least, in theory. She's loud, emotional, and fully convinced love is something other people settle for. Then Wren enters the picture, carrying quiet damage, a carefully built reputation, and exactly the kind of presence that gets under her skin. And when Joey and Jackson start getting close, avoiding him stops being an option.

For Satyr Thepa Fox, the world of Sainta has been at war for as long as she can remember. Savage beasts ravage the land, and the once-strong alliance of the five nations is crumbling under the growing horde's onslaught. As resources dwindle and conscription claims every able body, Thepa is no exception. Leaving the only family she has ever known, she becomes the first-ever female Captain of the Goldale Guard, though the path ahead is far from easy. Self-doubt gnaws at her resolve; her sister Rory harbors a dangerous secret that threatens to unravel their bond; a new threat emerges from the shadows, and the weight of her birthright pulls her toward an inescapable destiny. Torn between duty and family, Thepa tries to find her place as she navigates treacherous battles, understands her sister, and confronts her own heritage to forge a future.

Two years ago, Elea Reid disappeared. When she returns, she is no longer the girl everyone remembers. She has spent one year in captivity, and another as the most valuable weapon of the man who broke her. However, the failure of a mission unlocks a truth she was never meant to learn. Seven years of her life have been erased. Seven years of friendships, relationships, skills and abilities, of which only a white spot remains. Trying to get her memories back, the kidnapping of a close friend, a dangerous diplomatic mission and an old enemy who has never stopped pulling strings from the shadows turn every next step into a fight for survival. Memories return in fragments, but she remains with people, old and new, who believe in her more than she believes in herself. Among them is a man who must accept that the woman who has returned is not the same he once knew so well... but maybe she is the one who deserves to be loved the most. In a world of dangerous secrets, skilled spies, and the threat of World War V, the most difficult question is not who the enemy is. But who is Elea Reid.

She was nobody. A shut in streamer, wasting away her days broadcasting otome games to a handful of viewers. Her life was a blur of glowing screens, energy drinks, and the crushing thought that nothing would ever change. Until it did. One night, live on stream, she collapsed, only to open her eyes inside the very game she had been playing. A world of nobles, roses, and glittering romance awaited her... along with a script she already knew by heart. But she wasn't the heroine fated for love. She wasn't even the villainess destined for infamy. She was a side princess. A name mentioned once, only to vanish into obscurity. Pretty, forgotten, and doomed to marry into some royal family before fading from history. No. Absolutely not. If this was her second chance at life, she refused to be background decoration. If the world wanted her to be a pawn, she'd become the queen. And if the story already had a heroine and a prince... Then she would choose the only role powerful enough to change everything: the villainess.

She buried the truth to survive. He built an empire to forget her. Now, the ice is about to shatter. She is a billionaire heiress-icy, controlled, and haunted by a past she erased to protect them both. He is her family's fiercest rival: ruthless, magnetic, and missing one crucial memory-the woman who once set his world on fire. When a hostile merger forces them into a temporary alliance, she agrees for one reason only: he doesn't remember her. After a near-fatal accident years ago, he woke with a perfect mind-except for the woman who left without a word. To him, she is just a cold, dangerous equal. To her, he is the ghost she was ordered to forget. But as boardroom warfare ignites into stolen glances and late-night confrontations, the lies between them begin to crack. Because their first encounter wasn't business. It was survival. And the secret she carries isn't just about love-it's about the night someone tried to kill them both. In a game of power, passion, and amnesia, the most dangerous thing isn't losing control. It's remembering who you left behind.

From the storm of doubt to the strength of creation. ✍️ A poem about returning to life.

"In this world, the strongest survives and the weak one dies." I am a demon, one of the most dangerous, cruel and dominant creature in this world. It is not my fault I have this body. People don't seem to understand that I wouldn't even hurt a fly. I'll make sure that everybody knows that some demons are not what they seem. "I don't want to kill anyone and I won't!" - Ashen Sorgoth
