The Gold of Time | Gladiator II (Ver Eng.)
I was born a slave, condemned to a fate where freedom was but an unreachable dream. My life led me to the court of Emperor Geta, where I was just a shadow among others, a silent being at the service of imperial power. Everything changed the day Geta chose me to be his concubine. This role, both envied and feared, thrust me into the heart of the court's intrigues, where every smile could hide a betrayal. But my destiny did not end there. Caracalla, Geta's twin brother and legitimate heir, represented the future of the Empire. Charged with watching over him, I discovered a complex man, torn between ambition and vulnerability. An odd and unpredictable relationship formed between us, blending tension, jealousy, and moments of unsettling sincerity. In this ruthless world, the ties between Geta, Caracalla, and me were filled with power, love, and veiled betrayals. With Geta, I shared a fragile complicity, but even affection couldn't protect me from the dangers lurking in the palace corridors. From a mere slave, I became both concubine and protector, navigating between loyalty and survival. My story is that of a woman thrown into the heart of power games, in the shadow of the two imperial twins. This work is a historical fiction inspired by Ancient Rome.Complete

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete![Learn to take your time!
