-- English & German versions --  It was in the early morning hours of a bitter-cold January 31st that William Balthazar Armenstreed solved the Kopolsky puzzle. There was a sharp click in the otherwise absolute silence of the flat, the house, the narrow street with its seamless rows of old brickwork houses and ancient trees ...

This is another story building on ideas from my ongoing worldbuilding project. It's not so much a "regular" short story and more like what a first chapter could be - like an opening window into the themes of the main project. 

There is a great review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/08/05/book-review/

Btw, page 1 is the English version ("The King in Scarlet Black"), page 2 the German ("Der Fürst in Scharlachblau").

Happy reading!

Es war in den frühen Morgenstunden eines bitterkalten 31. Januar, als William Balthazar Armenstreed das Kopolsky-Rätsel löste. Es gab einen scharfen Klick in der ansonst absoluten Stille der Wohnung, des Hauses, der engen Straße mit seinen nahtlosen Backsteinhäusern und alten Bäumen ...

Dies hier ist eine weitere Geschichte, die auf Ideen aus meinem laufenden Worldbuilding-Projekt aufbaut. Es ist weniger eine „normale" Kurzgeschichte, sondern mehr ein erstes Kapitel - eine Art Fenster für Themen des Hauptprojekts. 

Es gibt eine großartige Rezension von @TaintedBloodBooks, schaut da mal rein: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/08/05/book-review/

Btw, auf Seite 1 findet Ihr die englische Version ("The King in Scarlet Black"), auf Seite 2 die deutsche Version ("Der Fürst in Scharlachblau").

Happy reading!

A Beast's Tale by katiegoesmew
91 parts Complete Mature
Cold, cruel, calculating. These are the words that best describe Chevalier Michel, the second prince of Rhodolite. A genius and a master swordsman, he has well and truly earned the monikers the Brutal Beast and the Bloody Tiger, and he's worked his whole life toward the singular goal of claiming the throne. Now, that goal is within reach. But his world turns upside-down when a new maid shows up in his private library, a woman who can stand up to him when nobody else can. So begins an impossible romance. The Brutal Beast, and Rhodolite, will never be the same again. ***** Based on the otome game Ikemen Prince: Beauty and Her Beast. All images come from the game, and I've also included some dialogue from the prologue and Chevalier's romantic ending where Belle chooses him as king. There is no explicit content, but themes and content are mature. This is an accompaniment to "A Dove's Tale," and it started off as a writing experiment for me to try retelling the story from a male perspective, which I'd never done before. I strongly recommend reading "A Dove's Tale" in its entirety before reading this. The current version of "A Dove's Tale," written based only on Chevalier's route, has been entered in the Amby Awards 2023. I have since read Leon's, Yves', Nokto's, and Licht's routes, and "A Beast's Tale" contains a TON of new content. Also, there are some Easter Eggs/references to an older Ikemen game called Midnight Cinderella. Content Warning: Contains themes of assault, attempted rape, child abuse, depression, extreme violence gore, self-harm, sexual assault abuse, suicide, torture, violent death. ***** Credits: Cover a collaboration between @Hells07dealer and me. End of chapter banners created by @WakeWriteWrath. All other images from the game unless noted otherwise.

As soon as their neighbour calls the police department with a suspicion that something isn't right in their flat, the police newbie Felix is on his way to save his beloved, no matter what. But their time is quickly running out... • • • "Felix? Are you there?" came from the other end of the line. "He's gone, Minho, and he's hurt," he whispered, his wet eyes lingering on the beautiful bouquet in the vase on the counter. Jisung's cell phone lay beside it. A slow exhale came from the phone. "Like I said, stay where you are, Chris is on his way." "How far is he? We can't waste time," freckles recovered, wiping his eyes with his hand and going to close the window before turning to leave. "He left a while ago, he should be there in a few minutes," his supervisor tried to reassure him. "Sorry, I can't afford to wait for him," he pulled the phone away from his ear. "Felix, don't do anything stupid!" He hung up and headed for the car. • • • Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I have no training in the medical field. I also have no experience with police work as well as terrorism. A fanfiction is exactly what the name states - a fiction from a fan, so please, don't take this story way too seriously.

Released! 12/12/24 ------------------------- A mysterious online blogger, who exclusively writes about the history and encounters of witchcraft, and claims to be a witch themself, is revealed to have a traumatic history. Maybe the blogs written by '0_Zero_0' aren't as crazy as people think they are? Who are they? What dark past still haunts them today? This story is the second entry into a multi-layered saga, and will be a bit longer than the first story. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the first entry; 'The Spirit Rings' if you like, as there will be some references to it that will more sense when you see it. For context, the first 2 parts of this story will be slightly different to parts 3 and 4, as you will be guided by Zero through his memories, furthermore, any speech in parts 1 and 2 will also be in a memory, not in the real world. (this will make sense as you read to the end) Blog posts are in italics to show that they are not part of his memory. From the 3rd part onwards, it will be formatted in a more standard way, as I am just experimenting with different methods of writing. //TL;DR for parts 1 and 2\\ Plain body text = 3rd person narration (normal reading style) Bold body text = 1st person (Zero reciting his memories to someone) Italics = Blog post (contextual pause to summarise/preview events) Any speech is happening as part of Zero's memory, as he is recalling the events Follow me to keep updated on all my stories, and be a part of the founders for my future novel which will take place in the same universe as all these stories on Wattpad :)

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!! This book is extremely dark and has depictions of Mature language, violence, sexual activity, sexual and physical abuse, including rape. Rape is a serious crime often overlooked where the victim is made to believe it is their fault. I do not condone rape however, it's a reality. Please only read if your 18+ and with caution. This book will be updated weekly. Possibly sometime more or less depending on how busy I am.
