Renata wakes up on a hotel bathroom floor feeling as if her skull has been crushed. Turns out, it almost was-and the person who assaulted her wants to leave her in some strange man's hotel room.
Wait, why isn't her face her face? And who is this small five year old boy who seems to be attached to her hip? Is this amnesia... or no, these names. They sound familiar. Like the characters in a book she recently read.
And her character, the one she's living as now? Was supposed to die from that head injury.

Author's Note: This started as a NaNoWriMo2022 experiment in the transmigration genre. Even though I hit 50K (congrats to me) in 2022, the story itself still isn't complete. Then, I continued working on it for NaNoWriMo 2023. I didn't hit 50K that year (though I got close, with most of it written on the 30th, naturally), but I DID... not finish the story either. SO, I'm editing and posting the words written last year this November (2024) and then I'm going to attempt to, you know, finish the story. Wish me luck!

Hell Flower

In a fateful night after performing a show, she loses control and commits a crime she can't take back.

It can be read as a stand alone story; however, reading this before Make Them Scream will be a spoiler.Complete
Learning How to Bend
Liliana "Lily" Hamill is just your average working woman. 5'5" with wavy brown hair the color of milk chocolate and blue eyes, she's never been described by anyone as "a catch." She's pretty enough, what with her athletic frame and well-proportioned face. She rises every day, runs almost every morning, and gets ready for work just like many twenty-something-year-olds in the United States. She's been working mostly in the marketing department at Andino Incorporated since she graduated from a college in Texas at twenty-one, and she's lived in New York City for the past two. She doesn't think she's anyone special. But she is, because Lily has been blind since birth, although her disability has never held her back. That burden has fallen on her insecurities. Now, though, she's attempting to face her fears. Her closest childhood friend, Joseph Montran, has invited her to a company social event, and Lily grudgingly has agreed to go. All she knows is that it's informal, that she and her guide dog, Chelise, can mostly hang out with Joe and his wife, Katherine, if that's what Lily wants, and that she shouldn't be afraid to "act natural." What she doesn't know is that social event will change her life forever. //// I KEEP EDITING AS I'M WRITING.

[SILENT SYSTEM]
||A/N: Will update from time to time. . . ( High chance of being discontinued.) || Credit to original artist- I've only made a pastel edit with it...|| _______________________ Like any typical transmigration novel, a person will die in the hands of death before being given a system with unique personality. Given task missions in order to return to the original world. The host would either complete the world in success or fail the missions given only to be transferred into a punishment world. That was what Lucielle thought what would've happened if he encountered the situation after death but he was wrong, very...wrong. Who knew that Lucielle would be cursed once he died, lifeless on the ground? No one did. Lucielle was just one of those unlucky individuals who shouldn't have been touched in the first place. ___________________________________________ [- - -Cannot unlock fluent language ability- - -] '???'

Chasing Rainclouds
A 2024 NaNoWriMo story "'I have to go!" I yell, before my feet take over and I'm shoving my way through the crowd. Eliza says something, but I can't hear her... I have to get away." || A Shifter, a humanoid creature that can take the form of any existing or imaginary being, lives among humans. For any other Shifter, this would be fine, and they could just take the form of a human. Super easy, right? For any other, maybe, but this one has lost control over their ability and is constantly changing into strange combinations with no way to stop it. They've lived with humans for seven years, wearing cloaks and keeping their eyes down to avoid unwanted attention. This worked fine, at least it did, until they literally bumped into Eliza, a girl their age. Luckily, their wonky powers shifted them into a creature that resembles a human, but it's bound to change eventually, and Eliza will learn the truth. And Eliza is the only friend they've had in a long time. Can the Shifter keep their origins a secret and stay in the only place that's ever felt like home? Or will everything slip through their fingers, just like it always has?Complete
Spitfire
Abused for years, young 9 year old Ren finds refuge in the streets of downtown Memphis. Living on the streets by yourself can be a challenge, but she finds strength in some odd characters. After finding an underground fighting arena she gets embedded into a new and exciting world. Danger follows her like a shadow, adventure in every turn, and curiosity sits on her shoulder like the devil. Soon after her first fight things go downhill in her life, how will she move forward? First book out of ??? ( I'm planning at least 3-4) This is the 4th time I have put this story up on Wattpad, but I am going to follow through and put the whole entire story up. With a first installment of 20 chapters, then 5 chapters a week until we get through it. I need beta readers and editors desperately. While this is up on Wattpad I will be working on major revisions and edits. I would like comments on my characters, plots, settings, scenes, grammar, spelling, ect. I expect and want people to rip this apart by the seams and tell me the good, the bad, and the nasty. I will not delete or block a bad review or critique unless it is outright hate and judgmental that just does not need to be around. I really hope you like this as it took me 17 months to write it to completion, and I know it will take many more before it is ready to publish. It originally started as a NaNoWriMo novel, (It may seem like I cheated but I did write 50k in a month). It is currently at around 113,000 words. I hope you like it! Started October 22,2013 Finished March 14,2015 Also if you find anything that looks like an authors note to myself, please alert me and I will edit it out.Complete

Transmigrated for What...What Do You Mean It's Romance... *Indefinitely on HOLD* After reading so many transmigration stories I couldn't help but want to make my own! While I may have said that I was not gonna write on this website it seems like this story would make the most sense here. Onto the actual description: Rena...Rena Ameberen died at the age of 26 by her own little clumsiness. When she wakes up she sees a room, simple and classic. Yet when she glances near the window she sees a man. Yes, the young man who is System 6899, or otherwise known as Ren. 'At least,' Rena thinks to herself, 'I don't have to worry about upgrades...' when she hears the voice tell her that she is the last person to receive this system.Complete
