In my world, peace was a dream, closing my eyes for a minute was bliss, fighting felt like breathing, and surviving... Well that's a whole other story.
"You are known as the Ghost. No one knows if they've seen you. No one knows if they've heard you. No one knows who you are, or what you are. Only those that lived to tell the tale of the Ghost in the shadows, speak of your presence. I wanted to know if it were true. The rumours that you never utter a word. That you're the cold blooded killer that no-one will ever know is coming."
Valentina Istreb is the Ghost assassin. Hired by the King of Elarjden, she must protect the crown at all costs. Easy right? Especially when the king's been sending her off on secret missions, and add an arrogant heir prince with a deadly secret. A secret that could ruin everything. Or will it?
Can Valentina protect the crown at all costs? Even if it means losing the one she cares for most?

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.

BLOOD STAINED CROWN
In the kingdom of Valtoria, queens are meant to be soft, obedient, and disposable. Seraphina was supposed to be a pawn-a fragile doll molded by the hands of men who sought to use her. But they underestimated her. At sixteen, she turned the game on them, painting the palace red with their blood. With every execution, every whispered plea for mercy drowned beneath her laughter, she became something far worse than a ruler. She became a monster. Now, at eighteen, she rules alone, feared as the Mad Queen-the Butcher of Valtoria. Her kingdom prospers under her reign of terror, but a queen without a king is an invitation for war. Enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike. Suitors come not with love, but with hidden daggers, each one eager to claim her throne. But then he arrives. A man unlike any she has ever met-one who does not kneel, does not flinch beneath her gaze. A man with secrets as dark as her own, whose smirk is a challenge, whose touch ignites something unfamiliar within her. He does not seek to tame her; he seeks to match her. And for the first time in her life, Seraphina wonders: Has she finally met someone she cannot break? Or has she found the one person who can destroy her? A tale of blood, power, and the kind of love that consumes.Complete
Female Reader X Herobrine //Monster//
So this is my first public story ever. I do not promise good grammar, though I would say I'm pretty good at making sure I spell right. Cover art is not mine! I hope to post as often as I can. I work on multiple stories for my friends so I gotta make sure to do so much of each story when I get the chance. WARNING!: May include, Cuss/Swearing, Lemon maybe, & Gore. I'd say 18+ content. (But hey, your choice not mine.) Y/N was your average princess. Kind, respectful, and ready to take the crown. Nah I'm just kidding, Y/N had better plans. So she ran away from home and changed her identity, kinda. She would rather be fighting and training to be an assassin. One day, some anonymous player had a deal for her. He offered her a ton of money and 3 years of free training to become the best assassin in the world. All Y/N had to do was kill 1 being. But... She had no idea that this one being was the king of the nether himself. So she takes the deal anyway! Started: 07/02/2021 Finished: 08/29/2021Complete

Haunted by the memories of her past, Elara had embraced the darkness, seeking solace in the icy embrace of eternal night.
