"Cutie, I'm starting to like you" What started off as an unexpected guest gradually became so much more. Darren Chu is under house arrest and fretting with a desire to win his case when a man came knocking on his door for a place to stay. “Cutie, I got this. What do you take me for?” Timothee William is flirty, shameless, and sexy. He’s got this laid back aura and mouth-watering winks but a trashy mouth. It definitely didn't help that he was full of hot curses and mind-bending, lust-raising, sexy tattoos that obscure Darren’s view from what he should be really worrying about. When it came to the day he has to choose, he was torn and yet he was moved. A character for a character. A man for a man. A challenge for a challenge. A love for hate and a prince for a prince. Will Darren be able to overcome things thrown in his way? Or will he find comfort in someone he did not expect?

My grandfather was a tattoo artist, but he specialized in tattooing sinister designs. Tattooing, an ancient art, has flowed silently through the ages. In ancient times it was called "mo" (墨, ink), referred to in classical texts as "ni" (涅) - the process of embedding ink beneath the skin's surface with needles to create permanent patterns. For over 2,000 years in China, people have adorned their bodies with auspicious floral tattoos for blessings and spiritual protection. But there exists another kind of tattoo - one intertwined with the occult and dark arts. These are said to possess mysterious powers: warding off evil, changing fortunes, attracting wealth, enhancing romance, and ensuring safety. The world knows them as the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts. Around these enigmatic yin-yang tattoos begins a thrilling tale brimming with vivid stories. What hidden secrets and forbidden knowledge lie concealed within? Where will these dark designs lead their bearers...

From Courtesy of Chaos to redefining Chaos itself. A boy abandoned by his bloodline. A soul that accepted Chaos. All He ever wanted was love, respect, and a place to belong. IT gave him the power to Claim them. This is the journey of Evren Lovemire with the end goal of not immortality but savouring what creation has to offer. Immortality is nothing more than the by-product. .......................................... In the year 2030, Earth experienced a catastrophic continental shift that created the supercontinent known as Aurora, an event later called The Great Convergence. Along with it came the rise of the ancient noble families who had always ruled the world from the shadows, now openly competing for authority and dominance. Then, in 2041, a mysterious energy once believed to exist only in myths began permeating the world once again. People called it by many names—Universal Energy, Mana, Qi, Chi, Ether. And with its arrival came the Grand Awakening. Beasts evolved and mutated, awakening ancient bloodlines buried deep within themselves. Humanity changed as well. Some awakened extraordinary powers and manifested tattoos representing their abilities, bloodlines, or affinities, while those who already possessed tattoos before the awakening received powers corresponding to those tattoos directly from the universe itself. In this new era, tattoos became the symbol of power, talent, and status. “Raven of Mirevale.” A title that sounded grand and imposing. A name that should have inspired awe in some and fear in others. Yet Raven Mirevale carried that title in the form of shame, neglect, humiliation, and disappointment. Born within the prestigious Mirevale Family, one of the Twelve Great Ruling Families of the world, Raven should have possessed everything others dreamed of—wealth, authority, and power. Yet the things he desired most were the things others took for granted. Love. Warmth. Friendship. Respect. Acknowledgment. After years of bullying and isolation, Raven had almost given up on life itself. However, his fateful encounter with the mysterious system spirit, Nixi, changed the direction of his life completely. Once again, he began desiring the things he had long buried within himself—and alongside those desires came another. Strength. Strength to control his own fate. Strength to protect the people precious to him. Strength great enough that nobody would ever look down on him again. With powers capable of extracting, integrating, and bestowing bloodlines and physiques, He slowly builds his own faction of fiercely loyal people while journeying through a world filled with cultivation, evolving bloodlines, demi-humans, noble families, mythical beasts, ancient mysteries, and endless possibilities. What to expect? Bloodlines. Cultivation. Demi-humans. Mythical beasts. Noble families. Evolution. Chaos. Faction building. And the journey of a boy once abandoned by the world… now walking a path to redefine it.
