THE VILLAIN'S LOVE GROWS FOR HIM.
"Aren't you tired of the way you live?" A voice inside of him would ask. "What can i do? I was born to live the life of a killing machine that dances to the command of my master. You think i never tried to run away from my life?" He would reply. That was him. The prodigy, the pride and praise of assassins. His hands were dyed with blood. Blood of men, women, children and the aged. He tried to rinse the blood out of his life but failed miserably. It was like a string attached to him, following him even in his dreams. "I see you are trying to run from your shell." The old woman said to him. "You are a pitiable person. When death welcomes you i pray you be free of your chains." She smiled as her cracked lips left her final breathe and her eyes lost its gleam. "Aaahhhhh!" The sound of painful scream echoed the room as he pressed his sword into his skin. He was ordered to kill the president of the country and bombard his residence. That was his last mission. But instead of leaving the house alive he stayed behind watching his piece of work decorate the walls of the building. He smiled. "It seems this is the only way to attain my own freedom." The sound of exploding bombs thundered into the ears of his comrades. They had realised what the man had done. However death brought him a new life. He was gifted the chance to live in freedom, to redeem himself and live the life he had wished for. But inside the world of a book. Life was all happy and beautiful. Until one unfortunate day he was entangled with the worst situation as he had to present himself before the antagonist of the book. Standing before him he caught his eye and was recruited as one of his personal guard. Moreover the protagonist of the story was very much to his distaste. But nothing could be worst than being objected as a sexual toy by the villain of the book, who had his ways with him right?Complete

On The Edge of a Blade
Things aren't going too well in the kingdom of Gushénn. The very oasis it's built upon is drying up, the border conflicts with the savages are becoming worse, and the royal family is starting to fall apart. And, to make matters worse, an elite group of anarchists has joined forces to kill King Vincent and steal his throne. Against her will, the infamous assassin Alister finds herself in the thick of things. She trained for her entire life to become the perfect human weapon, able to kill a man a dozen ways without batting an eye. The entire life that she's built for herself starts to crumble, however, as she's blackmailed into banding with the anarchists. But Rose Alister isn't as immoral as she seems. Even as an angel of death, she still finds that there are limits to what she is willing to do for money. Because of that, her loyalty and support for Prince James--the king's unappreciated and unstable younger son--become her greatest hindrance and her most crippling dilemma. For the first time in her life, she cannot bring herself to kill without remorse. As the anarchy plot within the kingdom thickens, assassin and prince come together. It's up to them to decide whether the kingdom is worth saving, even as they are forced to determine if they can first save themselves. Faced with a multitude of conflicts, Rose and James must put pride aside and learn to work together. But how can two clashing personalities hope to join forces and fix themselves, let alone mend a crumbling kingdom? (Disclaimer: "On The Edge of a Blade" addresses heavy themes. There is light profanity and references to some topics that are inappropriate for younger audiences. Please be aware of that while reading, though it shouldn't reach past a PG-13 rating. The most common justification for such a rating will be violence.)
