africa goddess mythology nigeria water yoruba

In a quiet village tucked away on the banks of a mysterious lagoon, the myths of old carry weight, and the spirits of the water are neither forgotten nor disregarded. 

    Adesuwa is no stranger to these tales-she has grown up hearing the stories from her elders about the lagoon's ancient spirit, a being said to grant incredible powers in exchange for a deep sacrifice. But Adesuwa, in her typical rebellious manner, dismisses these stories as mere superstition.

To her, the lagoon is just another part of her life, a backdrop for fishing trips and lazy afternoons by the water. But when an unexpected and inexplicable force draws her closer to the lagoon's shores, she finds herself face-to-face with something far beyond her comprehension. The spirit of the lagoon offers her power beyond imagination, but with it comes a price that could change everything she has ever known.

As Adesuwa is pulled deeper into the mystery of the water, she must confront her own desires, her doubts, and her fears. Will she succumb to the temptation of this power, or will she resist, knowing the consequences it may bring? In a world where myths come to life and the line between good and evil is ever so blurred, Adesuwa's journey will shape not only her own fate but the future of those she loves. The fate of the lagoon-and of the spirit who dwells within it-lies in her hands.

Tales by the Lagoon is a captivating, emotionally charged story that weaves together rich African cultural elements with fantastical adventure, exploring the price of power and the timeless battle between light and darkness. This is a tale of bravery, sacrifice, and self-discovery, told through the eyes of a young woman whose journey will lead her to uncover the truth of the lagoon's ancient secrets and the power that lies within her own soul.All Rights Reserved

Crack Black [BxB] by K_M_Victor

Crack Black In the gritty alleys of a nameless city, fate throws together two boys from opposing worlds. Black, a hardened thug with a reputation to uphold, crosses paths with Tony, a rebellious "schoolboy" caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Black saves Tony from a brutal attack by street kids, an unlikely bond is forged. But this is no ordinary friendship. Beneath the bravado and casual insults, feelings begin to stir-confusing, forbidden, and unspoken. Neither is ready to risk everything by crossing the line, afraid of what the other might think, afraid of shattering the fragile connection they've built. As life throws them into chaos, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and emotions will rise like smoke in the night. Will Black's tough exterior crack, or will his need to protect his pride and masculinity keep him from something real? And what about Tony-will he break through the walls around Black's heart, or lose himself trying? In a world where love is dangerous and vulnerability is weakness, some bonds might be too risky to hold. Or maybe, they're the only ones worth fighting for.

Author(s) - 12호 Unfortunately, I was reincarnated as a nuisance character in a horror game. I have one goal. I need to find an escape gate to avoid the demons living in the abandoned hotel, but... "S-Sister... They say a monster has appeared. Are you going to leave me alone?" "Sister, what on earth are you looking for?" "I want to stay next to you." "Sister!" The final boss, who approached me pretending to be a child, never thinks of falling from me. [Holloway opens the door to check if you're there.] [Holloway breathes a sigh of relief after confirming that the 'comedian' is in good hands.] Evelin's eyebrows twitched as the system windows appeared one after another. "...Is he crazy?" Who is the comedian? Evelin thought she was raising Holloway that well. And she soon realizes that it was arrogance. "If you want, I'll even lick your feet." So don't get out of here, Evelin. Holloway kissed Evelin's knee. The eyes toward Evelin were filled with mad obsession. The one who was raised, was herself. (Not my story!!!! )
