    *WEEKLY UPDATES* Where privilege meets desperation, and no one gets out unscathed. * She was supposed to inherit a company. Instead, she inherited an unpaid internship in the department everyone quits. Meet Victoria Adaora Adeyemi: nepo baby, professional chaos, and the CEO's worst nightmare. Her punishment for being "too wild"? Work in the basement of her dad's best friend's talent management company. No glam. No assistant. Just a leaking toilet and a boss who hates her on sight. Enter Dorian Kolkoto: broke, brilliant, and desperate to climb his way out. He can't afford to lose this job. He also can't afford to fall for the girl who got it because of her last name. It's supposed to be temporary. It's supposed to be professional. So why does it feel like the start of something neither of them can afford? The Personality Hire: where privilege meets desperation, and no one gets out unscathed.

    Salt, vinegar, everything sinister, a signal, a mad scientist and three marginals. That is all it takes to make villains. In a world shattered from the inside, where everyone seems to be under the control of the signal Tower and escape the reality, Berserk, Brat and Brute try to find their own way, dealing with their fights and their goals. Because a person is whole universe. Tw: childhood traumas, eating disorders, mutilation... (If you want to understand the lore go read The PowerPuff Girls, not really necessary, but can be useful) The characters don't belong to me, but to Craig McCracken neither the cover (IG: Racketballs). The world building is inspired from Little nightmares. I apologize in advance for the mistakes and grammatical errors. I'm not an English speaker.

    I came to Palermo trying to escape from the life I had always known. He came trying to escape his own past. I never expected to meet Lukas. Mysterious blue eyes, messy blond hair, too many secrets and a smile dangerous enough to break every defense I had left. What started with a spilled drink and five stolen minutes slowly turned into something impossible to ignore. But sometimes the wrong person appears at exactly the right moment. Between Palermo, Naples and Berlin, two different worlds collide in a cinematic slow-burn romance filled with tension, distance, late-night conversations and feelings neither of us was ready to face. A Mediterranean love story about destiny, timing and the kind of connection that changes everything.

    This collection of short stories represents a unique time in my many years as a developer of worlds worth telling tales about. You could say, symbolically, that they are my six first, deep breaths of something other than air. Transcend with me: from preexistence to creation mythology, from daydream to slipstream, from havok to harmony. But just you remember (however many sharks you may have tamed in the past), turn each and every one of these pages with fast, retractable fingers. Please comment to let me know which stories resonated best with you.

    The MC, a high school dropout into video games and MMORPGs, is down on his luck and wishes for "an extra party member" to help him through the difficulties of life. Next thing he knows, he finds himself in the world of Outremer. With no other prospects of survival, he's taken under the wing of Methodia, a traveling mercenary. The last of her "clan", Methodia's goal is to rebuild it and the only way to do that is to add new members. She forges a compact with MC and inducts him into her clan, their new relationship being legally stronger than blood. As they travel, they gradually induct other clan members as well. This is an original English-language work in Japanese light novel style. Genres include Isekai, Fantasy, and Romance, with elements of historical realism. The world of Outremer is loosely based on northern and central Europe around the Dark Ages (476-800 AD), and explores the concept of tribalism; or, that is, loyalty to the few as opposed to loyalty to the many.

Now Ted must track Summer down in New York and persuade her to give him and love a second chance.
