Damnation Of Devotion ✔
"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow. He is saved by a curious, lonely spirit and builds an affinity with her; but will he be her only salvation or eternal damnation? Either way, she can't let him go. And neither can he... as they're more similar than they thought. With unexpected gifts and losses coming their way, the starry-eyed lovers go on a journey for a sense of peace through a strange reality, a stark contrast to her own. The human world. Not an easy feat. Especially where ghosts and dreadful creatures are concerned. ☾✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧☽ Cover art by DuskBeetle This story isn't drama-filled and hasty despite the dramatics and the hassles. ▪︎ Ludus/Eros/Pragma & Philia ▪︎ Grumpy x Sunshine ▪︎ Interracial Couple ▪︎ 93k-98k words ▪︎ WARNING: Death, war, and miscarriage themes, harsh language, mild violence, implied trafficking Copyright © 2021 by L.I.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

Libulan
The world is full of darkness, everything that gives no light is automatically a sign of trap. It is a big sign of inescapable danger and the usual image of hell but.... does darkness would always mean trap? would hell always mean danger? Well, the world may be full of darkness but danger is something more than it, the world is even one big danger with or without the light that we always consider as a safe haven and the hell that we always do fear isn't the real fear here in reality. As a family known inside this forest that spreads darkness every night, any type of danger is already a common threat; folklores, myths and black magic has been told for protection but the ones exposed in this threatening danger is the Libulan family themselves and no folklores can change how close they are to risk. But do they know the risk? Do they know the danger that lies in this forest? Do they know the real enemies that lies beneath this forest? They will never know 'til on day the darkness they always knew as danger tells them who their real enemies are.... but on what way? Is there a magical reason why the Libulan are the most noble and known family in the whole forest? but why? is it because of their image? is it in their blood? is it because of Bulan, the future king of the family and the whole tribe? but how? How will he know what lies in this dark dangerous forest? how does he know the enemies? how does he know that the known danger are not really the enemies? how? All he know is humans are the worst enemies and there will be people making their way to steal their power secretly. What can a Libulan like him do? how can he save his name if his family doesn't feel the same? will be stand for who he is and bring up the name? what can a Libulan do? how does a Libulan do? Welcome and meet the bloodline and the adventures of the Libulan.Complete
Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2)
A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

Lovely. (Analogical)
This is a tale about a cursed soul who was tormented. It was believed, it scared children away, the parents got worried so they relayed the news to the royalty to do something about it. And of course, the prince's advisor Logan had to do something. He did, one day with his prince Roman. Cover done by me, its done with watercolours. This book has 55,635k words I also have published this book on ao3 with the name ''Lovely'' if anyone prefers to read there instead, my name on there is RealityHologram. Other notes: Book started on 30th of May 2019 Finished on 19th of June 2020 Logan: Black hair, pale skin, light blue eyes. Virgil: Purple and brown hair, pale skin but gets tanner. This is hell of a slow burn.Complete
The Children of Destiny
¡TW! Character death, child abuse, child death, war, gore, violence, mentioned racism(ish) ¡TW! (If any of these themes upset you, you don't have to read this!) Evander, a young boy who was supposedly kicked out of his tribe and raised by flying snake-tailed lions basically his entire life, finds out that he and another kid are part of a very important prophecy that could stop the big war that's going on. Before he does anything, however, he has to find the other child of the prophecy before anyone else does to fulfill the prophecy. Will the perilous journey through tribe territory get him killed because of his so-called "dangerous" abilities or will he survive long enough to see the war finally come to an end as he's always hoped it would?
