"What is the pursuit of knowledge to thee? Is such a meagre thing? Or, perhaps, it is of the essence for thine's kin?"
The young man pondered long and hard at these words. Is the pursuit of knowledge truly everything? Must one pursue the infinite wisdom that is knowledge? He opened his mouth to speak, and yet no words came out.
"Didst thy think, that curses are merely restrictions? And that thou'rt permitted to be granted knowledge, all?"
And yet he pondered again. As said by his occupation, his sole purpose is none other than to read the fate of the world. Yet his ambition ended him searching for all the information he could find; even the ones that are forbidden.
But he also wondered; is it really forbidden for one to seek knowledge? Even the tiniest of wisdom might prove useful in one way or another, why shant he garner them?
It was only after conversing with the common folks didst he realized an aspect that none of the sages and seers does; that the human mind is but an island in a sea of darkness.
And they are not meant to venture far.

LOVE'S DARKEST HOUR
Sage knew Derrick was trouble the moment he smirked at her - all sharp edges wrapped in smooth words, his confidence a little too effortless, his gaze a little too intense. He flirts like it's a game, each sly comment leaving her breathless and furious all at once. "Careful, sweetheart," Derrick had whispered one night, his lips far too close to her ear. "Keep looking at me like that, and I might think you actually like me." But Derrick isn't just the infuriating boy who seems to know exactly how to push her buttons. There's something darker beneath that playful charm - secrets that flicker behind his midnight eyes, a life laced with danger, and a hidden world where loyalty is lethal. The more Sage tries to pull away, the harder Derrick pulls her in - a dangerous dance between desire and defiance. "I'm bad for you, Sage," he says with a wicked smile. "But that's never stopped you before." And now she's left wondering... is Derrick protecting her from his world, or slowly pulling her into it? Because in Derrick's world, love isn't a fairytale - it's a dare. And hating him might be the most dangerous thing Sage has ever done.

Age of Unalloyed Gold
After the ruthless Battle of Aeonia, Malenia found herself at the foot of the Haligtree. She was recovering her strength, slumbering, while also waiting for the return of her brother, Miquella. Until a Tarnished interrupted her sleep, saying her brother had been kidnapped, and petulantly offering to be her Blade, to fight for her. Little did the demigod know that this knight was no mere Tarnished. And that more than showing her where her brother was, he would show her a pure and sublime feeling, which transcended even the terrible and unforgivable Scarlet Rot.

that one SWURD
Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
A Night in the Stars (A RWBY Two-Shot)
The world can be a gruelling place, a place of hardship and struggle. When that final step is taken, a new era of the world is discovered, regardless of what awaits. Grimm. Humans. Faunus. In the end, they're all cut from the same cloth; pure representations of life and its aspects. But within all that ceaseless conflict, the wars and the battles between man and monster... there's always a bright reality, one that burns like a wildfire and crackles like a dancing flame. Yin and Yang. So what happens when that discovery is made? What happens when a lonesome boy meets that burning yet tranquil sensation, and is suddenly swept off his feet as he sat and awkwardly watched those who were happy? Like most things in life... it's complicated. Or rather, Yang Xiao Long is. This is a RWBY Two-Shot story; a Male reader X Yang story. I do not own any pictures or characters used, you are yourself.

An Accord for Development (An Elden Ring Two-Shot)
"Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all!" It was a simple, yet grand purpose to those given a second chance by the Light of Grace. To become Elden Lord and claim the Elden Ring. Many would be emboldened by the flame of that ambition, and many more would perish at the hands of those who wished nothing more than to see the Tarnished dead. Such was the way things were in the Lands Between, shattered and fractured to the point of chaos between its residents. Only a select few would be guided by Grace, however only one would truly be gifted with something incredible. A gift that would render the physical well-being of a soul... unworried in the face of death. Yet the mind of that same individual would only be further damaged from it. So what did it mean to have true immortality? A blessing? Or merely a foul curse in disguise? One Tarnished warrior would grow bitter to it nonetheless, all the while cherishing the one gift he truly had. A friend. One he would do anything to protect, and one he would grow to love in spite of fate itself. This is an Elden Ring Two-Shot story; a Male reader X Melina story. I do not own any pictures or characters used, you are yourself.
