In a twist of fate, Dr. Oliver Barnes, a dedicated dentist with a passion for research, finds himself thrust back in time to his days as a dental student. Struggling to comprehend his surreal predicament, he realizes he has been transported to a crucial moment in his past-a pivotal international conference where he presented groundbreaking research.

As he grapples with the shock of navigating a bygone era, Oliver is determined to make the most of this unexpected journey. Tasked with presenting both a poster and an oral presentation, he finds himself revisiting the fundamentals of dental research presentations. Each chapter of his unplanned adventure unveils valuable lessons: from the meticulous art of poster design-balancing colors, fonts, and data visualization-to mastering the intricacies of engaging oral presentations-effective use of visuals, audience interaction, and confident delivery.

Amidst the challenges of adapting to a different time and technological limitations, Oliver discovers that his journey isn't just about reliving past achievements. It becomes a transformative experience, where overcoming nerves, building confidence, and forging connections across timeframes are as crucial as the knowledge he imparts. Through his quest to navigate this temporal anomaly, Oliver learns that true mastery lies not only in presenting research but in embracing the unexpected opportunities that change can bring.All Rights Reserved

A DARK TABOO ROMANCE He leans close to my ear, nibbling on my earlobe before whispering. "Remember this moment, little bunny. When you're out with any boy, listening to him telling you how much he cares about you or how much he loves you. Remember how you laid on this table, letting yourself get finger fucked by your best friend's dad, and how you fucking loved it." ☁︎☁︎☁︎ He is temping, irresistible, but forbidden. I know I should stay away from him, and god did I try. But when an unfortunate event almost left me homeless, I was forced to move in with him. Left to battle my feelings for a man I've always wanted but can't have. A man that my longing alone gives me shame. After all, he is my best friend's father. ☁︎ God, it was a stupid idea to let her move in with me. There's a reason I've been staying away from her, forcing myself to ignore her existence, and the reason is quite simple. I want her. I can't stop thinking about her, fantasizing about the things I want to do to her that would make the devil fear. Now, she's trapped under the same roof as me. And I don't think I can hold myself back any longer. (BW x WM)

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

Death Message by jr999986

The Enemy Unseen... In the Winter of El Niño, a violent storm shatters the tranquility of a small, uninhabited atoll south of Vanua Levu in the Fiji Islands. Amidst the chaos, death washes ashore, quietly settling on the bleached sand. A mysterious, ancient vessel, adrift for millennia, reluctantly releases its deadly secrets on this fateful February night. Maggie and Brad Montana, fledgling associate professors on a long-awaited vacation in Fiji, stumble upon the aftermath of the storm. They discover a pearl-black cone at the water's edge, unveiling two bizarre instruments that set them on a worldwide quest for discovery. The journey takes them to the alien landscape of the Devil's Marbles in the Northern Territory of Australia, guided by Backpack Bill, a charismatic local tour guide. As the Montanas unravel the secrets of the cone, their pursuit unwittingly triggers an ancient alien trap, revealing Earth's intellectual threshold to a distant star system. In a maddening environment, the couple deciphers a death message, inadvertently initiating a time-delayed sequence for the obliteration of the planet. Hope dwindles as the Montanas grapple with their spatial sepulcher, attempting to halt the countdown. Just when all seems lost, Backpack Bill stumbles upon the ancient portal, inadvertently unlocking their prison. The Montanas emerge to find themselves in a changed world, their wristwatch showing a mere fifteen minutes elapsed since their imprisonment, while the calendar declares it is now 2023. The couple, shocked by the four-year gap, must navigate a world transformed in their absence. Unsure if the sequence for termination continued after their release, the Montanas face the daunting task of reclaiming their lives amidst the echoes of time. Death Message explores ancient mysteries, the resilience of the human spirit, and the uncharted territories of a future shaped by the unintended consequences of their extraordinary journey.

The Diary of Tomorrow by kcuf625

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/hPXh35A What if you could read tomorrow's events today? When Ethan Carter, a skeptical freelance journalist, stumbles upon an old, leather-bound diary hidden in his attic, he thinks it's nothing more than an heirloom from his late grandmother. But when the pages start filling themselves with entries-describing his future in unsettling detail-Ethan's world tilts into nightmare territory. At first, the diary seems harmless, even helpful. It predicts small events: a spilled coffee, a forgotten phone call. But as Ethan follows its entries, the predictions grow darker... and deadlier. Each page drags him deeper into a chilling reality where time bends, shadows move when they shouldn't, and a sinister entity watches from the corners of his vision. When a cryptic stranger warns him to burn the book before it's too late, Ethan hesitates. The more he reads, the harder it is to stop. His best friend Harper tries to pull him back, but when the diary predicts her death, she begins to fear him as much as the book itself. Now, Ethan is trapped in a horrifying paradox-does he obey the diary and risk becoming its pawn, or defy it and face the unknown consequences? As the final entry begins to write itself, one truth becomes clear: The story was never his to tell. He was always part of it. Fans of The Silent Patient and The House of Leaves will be riveted by this psychological thriller infused with supernatural horror. Can you trust your own fate when it's already written?

The Dark Rose 🌹 {18+} by chelseaxxm123

[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.

OVERDIVE by Ayato-Ayashima

Chris is a young man trapped in a cruel, fragmented loop of his own past. The time-space continuum he inhabits is frozen in an endless replay of the worst day of his life: the day all his friends perished during a devastating war. Haunted by their absence and his inability to protect them, Chris is burdened with an extraordinary goal-to alter the course of events and save his friends from their tragic fates. However, the universe has placed a steep price on his mission. Each time he fails to change the outcome, he is forced to relive the day from its beginning. The monotony and despair of the loop gnaw at his spirit, but Chris refuses to give up. Driven by a mix of guilt, love, and hope, he dives into each reset with the determination to make things right. Complicating his journey are the monstrous entities that lurk within the cracks of this warped reality. Alien-like beings, formed from the chaos of the disrupted timeline, roam the remnants of his world. Their sole purpose seems to be to hinder Chris, slowing his progress and testing his resolve at every turn. These creatures embody his fears, regrets, and unresolved grief, forcing him to confront not only his mission but also himself. Chris's path is fraught with danger, heartbreak, and the weight of countless failures. Yet, with each attempt, he uncovers fragments of the truth-about the war, the origins of the monsters, and his own role in the events that led to this nightmare. As time pushes back against him, Chris must decide how far he's willing to go and what sacrifices he's prepared to make to rewrite the past and secure a future for those he holds dear. Every step forward is a battle against time, the monsters, and his own doubts, but Chris knows that even the smallest victory could be the key to breaking free from the loop-and saving the people he loves most.
