Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished. As if that on its own isn't bad enough, she's become the game's villainess, Blythe Ridge, destined for execution once the heroine attains the good ending of whichever love interest she chooses. As a connoisseur of isekai web novels, she's convinced that all she needs to do to escape from certain death is to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying Daisy Willoughby, the heroine of the otome game. Easy peasy. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that she has no say in the matter-her body moves of its own will whenever certain game events have to take place. Everyone around her is bemused by her frenzied scrambling to claim that all her malicious actions, and even some of her speech, are a complete and total accident. Mira-no, it's Blythe now-just wants to escape from the 'villainess' label to keep on living! ----------------------------------- "Born to be a pacifist, forced to be a villainess. Such is the story of my life!" "What in the world are you talking about?" "It's a meme, a meme!" ----------------------------------- (third person, past tense, slowburn clean romance, LOW fantasy) ----------------------------------- Note: An otome game often refers to a romance visual novel, targeted at women, with a female protagonist and male love interests.

Beneath the earth, the sun is only a memory - and its light is no longer free. The powerful have bottled it, priced it, and called it holy. Every flicker, every breath, must be paid for in Lumen. Lucy Farrow was born in the Gloom, where the air tastes of rust and hope is a dangerous thing. Her mother taught her to keep her glow low - to survive unseen. But when the light inside her begins to stir, Lucy's secret could unravel the order that keeps their divided city alive. High above, in the marble halls of the Halo, Prince Cassian Soleyne uncovers a secret among ink and dust - a forbidden lineage that could unmake the order he was born to protect. His duty is to snuff it out: his heart tells him to save it. Between them rises the Veil: a wall of soot-black stone and blinding searchlights, dividing the blessed from the broken. As rebellion brews in the dark and doubt kindles in the light, their paths will cross - and together they will awaken a fire long thought dead. A Radiant who could bring back the dawn... or burn the world to ash. ⸻ ✧ ⸻ Lucy approached the marble stairs of the Distribution Point, feeling smaller with every step. Even after so many visits, its splendour still swallowed her whole. Inside, chandeliers of bottled light bathed clerks and soldiers in scarlet. Behind the wooden barrier, white-gloved hands counted Credits and passed bottles of gold to the waiting poor. A cry tore through the hush. "No, I swear, these Credits are real -" The clerk's reply was colder than stone. "One is counterfeit. Guards!" Boots thundered. The woman screamed as Veil Guards dragged her away, her voice fading into the city's endless hum. The line moved. "Next." Lucy stepped forward, clutching her satchel. The Credits inside jingled - Mother had checked them twice, but still her hands trembled. ⸻ ✧ ⸻

In the occupied village of Harlob, silence is the only law that matters. Fifteen-year-old Alfred Minger knows the cost of defiance; he watched the Ugan occupation erase his father, leaving behind only an empty chair and a terrified mother. But when his childhood friend vanishes into the hills to join a whispered rebellion, and the grip of the occupiers tightens, Alfred realises that keeping his head down might be the most dangerous choice of all. Enter Doran Karder, a Ugan educator who dissects his students with a gaze that misses nothing and wields silence like a noose. Karder isn't just teaching a new curriculum; he is hunting for the spark of insurrection, meticulously recording every hesitation and glance in his black ledger. As Alfred is drawn into a covert web of resistance, he finds himself locked in a high-stakes psychological duel with Karder. One where a single slip of the tongue, a muddy boot, or a misplaced drop of ink could doom everyone he loves. Trapped between a mother begging for submission and a ghost pointing towards the hills, Alfred must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for the truth. In a world where the past is being erased one lesson at a time, Alfred must find the courage to write his own future before the fence closes around him for good.

NOTE - These stories are not fully polished, but I wanted to share it anyway and keep the storytelling going. Hope you enjoy! Eshorne is a constantly evolving world; shaped by mystical forces, human ambition, and natural upheaval. These short stories offer glimpses into the lives of those who walk the borderlands of myth and reality: heroes, outcasts, or survivors caught in the currents of something greater. Each tale stands on its own, but together they paint a larger picture of a world where truth becomes clouded and even the sacred is flawed. These are the first publicly shared short story from Eshorne. Thank you for reading. If something resonates - a moment, a line, a mystery - let me know in the comments. Every bit of feedback helps keep this world alive.

Saoirse Ryan is a Hanner from a shamed noble house. Drowning from her parents' debts and eyed with suspicion after her brother's failed attempt at rebellion, she's offered a way out by the ambitious Lady Rhiannon Brynmor.
