She simply wants her freedom again. 

To win it, she must enter her old world of thieves and gangs, magic and murder. She'll need to befriend an empress she despises, survive an impossible heist twice over, and gather a crew she's not sure if she can trust anymore. 
But when shadows rot the land once again, and a promised evil begins to awaken, she must fight not just for her freedom but to desperately keep her world from being destroyed.

The Demon's Hostage by Hungererr
9 parts Ongoing
Alice, a prodigy of ice and wind magic, was known far and wide for her extraordinary abilities. Born with a natural affinity for the elements, she quickly surpassed her peers, her talents only matched by her insatiable curiosity. Her kind heart drove her to seek knowledge not just for herself, but to better the lives of those around her. The gods themselves took notice of her selflessness, bestowing upon her a portion of their divine power as a mark of their favor. On a bright and sunny day, Alice embarked on a journey into the heart of the forest, where the ancient trees stood tall and the air was thick with the scent of earth and leaves. She was searching for a rare herb, one that grew only in the darkest, most secluded parts of the woods. Undeterred by the shadows that lingered beneath the canopy, she pressed on, her resolve unshaken. But she was not alone in the depths of the forest. Hidden among the twisted roots and dense underbrush, a demon watched her every move, its eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. It had been drawn to the purity of her aura, a stark contrast to the darkness it thrived in. The demon's hunger grew as it observed her, its twisted mind plotting how it would claim the elven girl as its prey. Would her magic and wits be enough to survive? Would the demon's insidious hunger be her undoing? Or would something unforeseen bloom from their deep-seated hatred for each other.

"I wish you were dead", she hissed at him as she broke the kiss. "Do it, kill me", he hissed back. She went for his throat, the lessons definitely helped but she was no match for him. "One day you'll be able to best me. Lucky for me that day isn't today." Ivy had wanted to claw his eyes out, "you're a monster." "So is everyone." "Not everyone kills seventeen guards." "You're right, only the strong kill in our world. Too bad we don't live in a fairytale." "Don't dare make me feel insane, it's insane, the world we live in!

Ivy said talking of her sworn allegiance to him for two years. "No!" He said before slamming his mouth back to hers. Their kisses were insanity. Crazy to a fault. "I love you." Ivy hated when he said it, "no you don't. One with a black heart cannot love." "I fucking love you with my whole black heart." "You don't know what love is. You love the idea of love. You love how loving me makes you feel." "And how does loving you make me feel?" "Like your heart isn't black." "Fair enough." They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....
A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

I was the accountant in my father's gang, always getting caught up in his shady business. When the feud between his and another gang finally ended, my uncle decided to mess it all up by going on a killing spree. As usual, I got caught up in it and died, expecting to see him in hell, but I instead saw the smiling face of a woman with cat ears, proclaiming how beautiful my eyes were... It didn't take long for me to realize I had been reborn into another world, just like the stories my elder sister used to tell me about. The question then was, what would I do? Learn magic, like my second mother? Take on the politics of royalty, like my father? I wasn't sure. That was, at least, until I accidentally selected a class in my new system, which may or may not be sentient. I was granted access to an easy way to get stronger, both physically and magically, and a shop that allowed me to get anything I had ever seen on Earth. That, combined with the problems I heard about through my new father, Ihelped me decide to use this power to help the people of this world as the second Prince of the Eilon kingdom!

"I take what I want, princess, no matter what." TRUTH is hidden behind the LIES. Secrets are buried within the secrets. Darkness lurks in the Light and Light breathes in the Darkness. A tale of "BLOOD, SACRIFICES, AND OATH" What will be the outcome when their worlds collide? Will they be each other's salvation or each other's demise? My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. Cheap liberalism and unwanted feminism are neither appreciated here nor wanted. So, if you have some self-esteem issues then take it elsewhere because I will report and block every negative comment and commentator. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws. So think before trying to copy/paste and plagiarism. Cheating doesn't sit well with me and I am not generous with forgiveness. Happy Reading :)
