This is a story that I sometimes write in my free time, so I have no guarantee that I'll be able to write consistently (It may take weeks or months depending on my school schedule or if there is an anime series that I'm keeping up with in that season). Also, English is not my first language so I apologize for any typo and misspellings. Anyway, enjoy! Basically, this is a school rom-com without much plot. ❦❦❦ (Damn, this story is terrible. I have no idea what I was thinking when I first wrote this. I cringed so hard when I actually read the first chapter, ugh.)

Damon Peter wanted me to go to a community college with him instead of a top werewolf academy. He claimed his wolf was still unstable and that he'd be ostracized at a competitive, top-tier academy. He was my fated mate, so of course, I agreed. But right before I hit submit, I overheard a conversation that shattered everything. One of his companions drawled, his tone laced with amusement, "I've got to hand it to you, Damon. Faking your wolf's instability just to trick her into going with you?" Another voice hesitated. "But you're fated mates. Are you really going to play her like that? Just for..." Damon cut him off, his voice flippant. "So what? She's spent her whole life waiting to be my mate. I'm sick of it. This way is kinder, don't you think?" I didn't push open the door. I simply turned and walked away. Back in my room, I reopened the application form. I changed my school of choice back to my original one—the academy my parents had insisted on years ago. I am the sole heiress of the Celine Pack. I was always meant to be trained at a top academy. And without me, Damon, an Alpha's illegitimate son, would never inherit his father's title. One day, he would realize he hadn't just thrown me away—he had thrown away his entire future.

Detective Victor Campbell has been working murder cases for nine long years professionally, until he finally found a case that proved to be difficult. Along with his trusty associate, Michael London, they go to various different locations in which the perpetrator was last seen, but would they find him after all? Or was this in fact a crime by a perp nobody had ever seen before?

In the Davao Region, a new generation of heroes, anti-heroes, mutants, aliens, and enhanced humans rise to defend humanity from monsters, secret organizations, superpowered criminals, and world-ending threats. At the center of it all is Vinze Davis, also known as Hotshot, an Omega-Level Alien-Meta Human-Human Hybrid gifted with immense fire, plasma, and solar powers. Feared as much as he is admired, Vinze possesses enough power to save cities or destroy them. While he fights to protect innocent people, his unstable emotions, Berserker Mode, and terrifying Beast Transformation constantly threaten to turn him into the very monster he fears becoming. Alongside his best friend JR Robinson, the telekinetic powerhouse known as Mind Grinder, and their team, the Quantum Squad, Vinze battles increasingly dangerous enemies across the Philippines. As mysterious creatures begin invading Earth and a secret organization known as the Echelon Order targets him as "Subject Omega," Vinze discovers that his existence is connected to secrets hidden long before his birth. The team includes powerful allies such as Jamson Davis (Frostbite), Ryle Carter (Cosmic Knight), Melissa Foster (Lazer Mirage), Faith Porter (The White Angel), Marco Newton (The Captain), Shane Darwin (The Hunter), Agent Zero-One, Celestial Girl, and Shadow Fox. But among all of them, one person stands above the rest in Vinze's life: Emerald Larsson, a powerful Enhanced Human empowered by a serum created by Vinze himself. Wielding a rare combination of cosmic and fire energy, Emerald is both Vinze's greatest strength and greatest weakness. She can stabilize his powers when he loses control, push him forward when he is at his lowest, and is the only known person capable of permanently killing him if he ever becomes an unstoppable threat. As the war escalates, new allies emerge, including Maliyah Barton, the dangerous enhanced-human girlfriend of Jamson Davis, and Emerald's closest friends Maya, Anglica, Lana, and Lexi, whose destinies may eventually transform them into superhumans as well. Faced with powerful enemies, devastating conspiracies, and secrets about Vinze's origins, the Quantum Squad must stand together to protect their world. Because if Hotshot ever loses control completely... The greatest threat to Earth will not be the monsters. It will be Vinze Davis himself.

MY COLLECTION OF THIS AND THAT. HOPE PEOPLE WILL CONTRIBUTE. STILL UPDATING...

Dizem que encontrar sua alma gêmea é o destino, uma bela colisão de dois mundos que deveriam ficar juntos. ...Mas por que meu "encontro predestinado" teve que ser uma colisão frontal com Cassidy Valentine, a garota mais hostil, arrogante e apavorante da Academia Hartwell? E por que isso teve que envolver arruinar o blazer de edição limitada dela com café barato? Eu sou Isaiah Angelo. Eu funciono à base de três horas de sono, cafeína instantânea e a necessidade desesperada de garantir um futuro para minha irmã mais nova. Não tenho tempo para drama. E com certeza não tenho tempo para romance. Então, naturalmente, o universo decidiu pregar uma peça cruel. Eu não arrumei inimizade apenas com uma garota rica. Eu tropecei na vida de quatro. As Quádruplas Valentine. Rostos idênticos, quatro sabores distintos de problema. Agora, fui contratado como assistente pessoal residente delas. Estou preso em uma mansão com as quatro garotas mais desejáveis — e impossíveis — da cidade. Cassidy, a "Criança Problema" que jurou transformar minha vida em um inferno. Harlow, a avoada excessivamente afetuosa que acha que lanches resolvem todos os traumas emocionais. Vivienne, a perfeccionista fria como gelo que quer microgerenciar até minha respiração. Sabrina, a observadora silenciosa que me olha como se eu fosse um quebra-cabeça que ela está louca para resolver. O pagamento muda a vida. O trabalho é suicídio. Será que consigo manter minha bolsa de estudos, criar minha irmã e administrar o caos da casa dos Valentine sem enlouquecer? Tenho uma montanha de dívidas, uma agenda infernal e quatro herdeiras bilionárias que, de repente, parecem muito interessadas no "bolsista". Isso não é um emprego. Isso é um jogo de terror e sobrevivência embrulhado em lençóis de seda. O QUE ESPERAR: - Situações Ecchi: As Valentines não têm a menor noção de espaço pessoal, e os "acidentes" são frequentes, picantes e bem visuais. - Romance de Harém: Quatro irmãs idênticas, um protagonista cansado. A competição é acirrada, a tensão é alta e o ciúme é real. - Protagonista Competente: Isaiah é inteligente, trabalhador e de língua afiada. Ele não é lerdo; está apenas exausto demais para lidar com a sede delas. - Dinâmica da Diferença de Classes: Um olhar cru sobre a diferença entre a classe trabalhadora em dificuldades e a elite absurdamente rica. - Momentos Familiares Comoventes: Porque por trás do fanservice e da comédia, Isaiah está fazendo tudo por sua irmã mais nova.
