Her story began like any other girl exiting puberty and running fast towards womanhood, but instead of a sweet sixteen, a quinsañera, a bat mitzvah, or any other form of initiation right, her life in that word came to an abrupt end. The Nici Hermès that was adopted, watched soap operas on TV, and loved swimming, died the moment she stepped through the portal that linked both her world and Nekasrof. This is her story. How it happened, how she discovered the truth and about the people who put their lives on the line to keep it. This manuscript is to prevent Nekasrof from ever forgetting the origins of its most valued gem. To teach them of the world that lies behind the veil, of the importance of living in harmony. Most importantly, that they may know the dangers of greed, of bitterness and pain, and that the preservation of our world is dependent on our avoidance of these vices that corrupt the hearts of men and the gifts of earth.

Estrangement Syndrome (Estrangement Syndrome 1) ✅ by Terra_Cody
17 parts Complete Mature
Mana is the life force that exists in everything. Mana gives you conscious thought, unconscious thought, and is the source of all feelings and life. Mana levels in humans though are moderate and usually cannot be harnessed past the normal capabilities of a human body. When the grandfather he never met suddenly died, Shuei felt nothing but indifference. The feeling does not change when a lawyer suddenly shows up at his house with his grandfather's will. But as his grandfather's only surviving heir, Shuei had inherited a large house in Kyoto that his grandfather was the landlord and caretaker of. After being pressured by his mother, Shuei packs up and leaves Tokyo to move to Kyoto and to see the house he inherited...and the tenants who lived there. Little does he realize that the house is no ordinary house, and the tenants are no ordinary tenants. For the house is in fact a Gateway; a connection to a spiritual realm called Seirei-Kai, and the "landlord" of the house serves as the Gatekeeper to protect the Gateway. The tenants of the house are a race of people from Seirei-Kai called the Seishin. They are human in appearance but the Mana inside their bodies is one thousand times stronger than that in a human body. They are powerful and have longevity...but they are also a dying race. For all Seishin that have been born in the last eight hundred years have been male. With no women to grow their population, the Seishin have needed to take drastic and creative measures to have more children and to save their race. Measures that are not entirely working, as they continue to only have male offspring. Shuei doesn't want to be the Gatekeeper. He doesn't want to care about these people with whom his grandfather cared more for than his own family. Despite this he still finds himself drawn into the world and culture of the Seishin of Seirei-Kai...and all the drama that comes with it. The is the first book in a new series called Estrangement Syndrome. - Word Count: 69-70,000

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again.

She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

Mercury's Thief

5 parts Ongoing Mature

Theo has always been a survivor. Living in the shadows of a decaying city, he steals to keep himself and his younger sister, Ellie, alive-dodging beatings, threats, and the ever-watchful eyes of the black market's worst. He knows the streets, knows how to pick his targets, and most importantly, knows when to run. But when a routine pickpocketing job goes disastrously wrong, Theo doesn't just steal a wallet-he steals a god's coin. And with it, he steals the attention of the wrong people. Now bound to Hermes-yes, that Hermes, the god of thieves, now trapped in a coin-Theo finds himself hunted by a shadowy underground force. The men in suits? Not just bodyguards. The powder hidden in the stolen pocket watch? Not just drugs. Someone has found a way to break gods apart and turn their divinity into a powerful, addictive substance. With cartel enforcers, rival thieves, and ancient forces closing in, Theo does the only thing he can-he fights back. What they find? Terrifying. Because gods don't rule anymore. They're hunted, harvested, and sold. And someone-or something-is pulling the strings behind it all. If Theo to survive, he'll need to uncover the truth before they become the next pieces on the board.
