Gareth and Fiona - Rogues not Heroes

Some people say that it is fun to play with children even when older. All the worries come back when you were a little disabled. Some even said, "It's fun to bet." Others, "Happy when there is punishment." "It's more fun when something weird happens. You know, something new." More exciting punishment, not dull compared to the ones you suffer every time you fail the game. So a good idea entered the mind of my young friend Archie, and it wasn't obvious. "Bro, let's play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Losing player will touch theー" he pointed at the bulge of my jeans. I noticed a sharp smile on my friend when I approved the game he liked. "Fine, Game ..." I agreed. A simple game ended in a bloody scene.

In the heart of Rome, where ambition is sharpened like a blade and betrayal is as common as breath, Lucius Varro walks the line between life and death. A ruthless warrior, an assassin draped in shadows, and a man tangled in the throes of power, he becomes both predator and prey in a city that devours its own. But Rome’s deadliest games are not only played in the Senate or on the battlefield. They are whispered in candlelit chambers, exchanged in lovers’ beds, and sealed with blood-stained kisses. Each woman has her own web of lies, affairs, and betrayals—some with Lucius, others with men of power and influence. But as Rome teeters on the brink of war, passion and politics collide in a storm of lust, vengeance, and fate. When the dust settles, will Lucius stand victorious—or will he be just another name lost to the empire’s cruel history?

Lance and Legends online, a moderately successful game, has finally come to an end after ten long years. Such a thing would be a bummer, and to Loctrace, or at least the man who plays him, it is. His fear of losing his best friend was not long lived, as he was asked, with the remaining player base, to continue his journey. With a quest to rebuild his guild, Loctrace sets out.

I was carrying the Alpha's heir, recovering at the Pack's medical center. On the same day, my mate Jasper Sterling's mind-link was flooded with incessant messages. They were from Sylvia, his Omega assistant, who claimed to be suffering from moon madness. I asked if he needed to respond. He snarled impatiently through our mind-link, "What now? All she ever does is call for me. She has another Alpha, doesn't she? This is so damn annoying." Before long, however, an alert pinged on the Pack's internal network: a photo of her on the Packhouse rooftop, accompanied by a message she had posted. "If I leap from here, will the moonlight kiss me in the next life? Maybe then, no one will despise me anymore." Jasper merely glanced at it, then snorted. "Kiss her? What's wrong with her inner wolf?" But after that, a restless energy began to radiate from him. Within minutes, he had rushed out, not returning for the entire night. That night, our mate bond tore apart. I was rushed into a treatment room. The Pack's healer asked if I wanted to save the pup. I felt the void on the other end of our bond and answered calmly. "No. I don't want it anymore."

In a world divided by empires and forged by blood, love becomes the most dangerous rebellion of all. Cassian Valerius, a hardened warrior of the Roman Empire, has spent his life wielding the blade for glory and duty. Bound by honor, he never questioned the cost of conquest until the day he laid eyes on her. Lady Selene Aureliana, a noblewoman of the rival Elyrian kingdom, is as brilliant as she is beautiful. Trapped in a gilded cage of politics and power, her heart longs for freedom and finds it in the eyes of an enemy. As war brews between their nations, an impossible romance ignites. Torn between loyalty to his people and devotion to the woman he cannot forget, Cassian must choose: betray his oath or forsake his heart. Together, they will face treason, treachery, and tragedy. But in a time when kingdoms fall and blades decide fate, will love be their salvation or their doom? The Laurel and the Blade is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, sacrifice, and courage, where the price of passion may be the empire itself.

Estaba llevando al heredero del Alfa, recuperándome en el centro médico de la Manada. El mismo día, el enlace mental de mi pareja Jasper Sterling fue inundado con mensajes incesantes. Eran de Sylvia, su asistente Omega, quien afirmaba estar sufriendo de locura lunar. Pregunté si necesitaba responder. Él gruñó impaciente a través de nuestro enlace mental: "¿Y ahora qué? Todo lo que hace es llamarme. Ella tiene otro Alfa, ¿no? Esto es tan molesto". Poco después, sin embargo, una alerta sonó en la red interna de la Manada: una foto de ella en la azotea de la Casa de la Manada, acompañada por un mensaje que había publicado. "Si salto desde aquí, ¿me besará la luz de la luna en la próxima vida? Tal vez entonces, nadie me despreciará más". Jasper simplemente la miró y resopló. "¿Besarla? ¿Qué le pasa a su lobo interior?" Pero después de eso, una energía inquieta comenzó a irradiar de él. En minutos, se había marchado apresuradamente, sin regresar durante toda la noche. Esa noche, nuestro vínculo de pareja se rompió. Fui llevada de urgencia a una sala de tratamiento. El sanador de la Manada preguntó si quería salvar al cachorro. Sentí el vacío al otro lado de nuestro vínculo y respondí con calma. "No. Ya no lo quiero".

In the year 2085, the sky is no longer just a frontier; it is the next battleground for survival. The newly established Southeast Asia Space Agency (SEASA) is preparing a massive, high-stakes mission to expand the International Mars Research Station. To lead this pressure-cooker of an expedition, they drag Commander David Yap out of a quiet retirement in the coastal jungles of Lahad Datu, Sabah. David is a man built out of hard tactical choices, deeply scarred by a past command that cost the lives of his crew. He treats a spaceship like a fortress and keeps his emotional distance from everyone—until he meets Dr. Sirin "Aomam" Phalasun, the team's brilliant chief astrobiologist. But the mission is compromised before the engines even ignite. A shadowy, powerful underground syndicate known as the Black Dragon has kidnapped Sirin’s family in Bangkok. Operating from a massive, radar-invisible underwater fortress hidden in the trenches of the South China Sea, the syndicate's ruthless military leader, Commander Jaxon Cruz, forces Sirin to act as a mole. She is trapped in a crushing cage of guilt, forced to leak classified Martian research and structural data back to Earth during the grueling six-month transit to keep her family breathing. As the Nusantara-1 journeys deeper into the void, the isolation tightens. Hotshot Indonesian pilot Rizky Widodo keeps the ship running with mechanical grit and dark humor, while sharp-witted Vietnamese cyber-security prodigy Hao Nguyen begins detecting unauthorized data pings leaving the array. The digital net closes in on Sirin, pushing her to a desperate breaking point. Crushed by the lie and anchored by David's surprising, unwavering trust in her, she confesses everything. Instead of locking her away, David turns her into a double agent, feeding the Black Dragon sandboxed data while vowing to bring her family home. When the expedition finally touches down on the rust-plains of Mars, science fiction turns into a biological nightmare. Deep-crust drilling operations accidentally awaken the Ares-IV Organism, an ancient, dormant alien virus. This pathogen executes a terrifying process of horizontal gene transfer, turning biological cells into mineral-dense, hyper-aggressive horrors that attack the domes. Back on Earth, the Black Dragon’s supreme mastermind, General Vance, sees the virus not as a plague, but as an evolutionary "hard reset" to build a completely compliant, unbreaking undead army under his absolute command. The syndicate launches a brutal orbital assault on the Martian base to seize the pathogen. Trapped between an invading mercenary force and a rapidly mutating alien outbreak, several of the fifty elite regional recruits make the ultimate sacrifice to buy the core team time to flee. Carrying the research, David, Sirin, Rizky, and Hao launch a high-velocity pursuit back across the solar system, culminating in a desperate infiltration of the underwater fortress in the South China Sea. With the base imploding under oceanic pressure and his empire crumbling, General Vance injects himself with the apex strain, evolving into a grotesque, hyper-regenerative biomechanical monster. David must use every ounce of his remaining tactical grit to destroy the creature, proving that humanity’s chaotic, flawed capacity for love and sacrifice is the one variable no code or virus can ever truly conquer.
