1825, near the western coast of the country Phasia, rests the kingdom of Grzech. A bleak place, inhabited by equally bleak people. The village, filled with fear, death, and poverty. And the castle on the hill looking over the village and it's residents, filled with secrets and mystery.
For being such a dark place, there's a certain time every year that the castle comes alive, opening it's doors only to those with wealth, privilege, and an invitation. Starting the first day of October and going all the way to the new year, a new celebration each night, drinking, dancing, laughing, talking, and anything else your heart could desire, including whatever sinister things the aristocratic mind can think of.
The townsfolk are absolutely forbidden to attend unless used for entertainment, while those with a high social status and high funds get to stay in the castle as guests, spending their days as they please, and attending the party of a lifetime when the sun begins to set. Once the new year rolls around, the guests leave in the dead of night and no one speaks of it when morning comes, as if it never happened.
Calian Banik, a traveling merchant of sorts, and a rather famous one at that, is invited to the three month long party at the castle. Given his family history and personal intrigue, how could he not attend? And while he's there, why not cause a bit of trouble, and remind the elitists of who they've welcomed into their home . . .

The Song of a Villainess [Republishing]
[WARNING: Some parts of the story contains suicide.] She was suicidal before coming into a new world. When she jumped from a tall building, the time suddenly stopped for a moment before she falls to the ground. She then heard a mellifluous voice of a being she could not see. "Child, are you sure to end your life?" She wasn't able to speak from confusion. She's feeling as if it's is dream. But it's real. The time stopped and for a moment, and she hesitated about dying. "If you fall from this building, you won't die but you will lose your ability to walk and write. And you will no longer able to use your voice." The voice spoke again like he knows what will really happen. And because of this, she was taken aback with the sudden revelation. "Who are you?" She asked because she is thinking if it was a diety or a God. "My child, I will give you a chance to live but not in this world. In that world, remember that you are powerful. And use that power to live your life as you want." After the short conversation with that unknown being, she woke up in an extremely fancy room. And she found out that she was living in a body of a manipulated villainess. That villainess was known as a 'puppet villainess' whose power is to sing. And she knows what exactly will happen in the future because she has once read that mysterious novel. So then, what is she going to do in this life?

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
Violent delights
"Did he do this to you my queen?" Dark onyx eyes searched her own for an answer. "It does not signify." She said bitterly. "It is none of your concern, my lord. Good night." Before she could turn away, gentle hands gripped her in place. She met the lord before her's eyes again. "It is taking all the restraint I possess, your grace, to ask this as a man of my station should. Did he do this to you?" His face was hard, and body pulled taut. She could feel rage vibrating off of him. She gulped at his words. "It does not matter what he does to me, he is my husband and your king." She hissed, hoping she could deter his wrath with the threat of death. "It does not matter who he is, I will tear him limb from bloody limb." He clearly did not seem to care. Fuck...
