decay perseus

For Perseus and Gemini, "Oh, for the love of God, will you shut up already!" might've not been the most conventional opening line for their romantic first encounter or their 'love at first sight' origin story, then again; not all happily-ever-afters has to start with any of those things. Sometimes, a shot at forever starts with a spark of irritation, a truck-load of confusion, a dash of frustration, and a whole lot of attitude!

When the world hit a mysterious virus, it caused a pandemic that caused majority of the human race to turn into cannibalistic creatures and devouring any living creature it encounters. The creature that once dominated the world has now been pushed to the brink of extinction, and a new one takes it place.

"Caged bird, who wishes to fly high, are you awake?" "Ugh… Where?" I mumbled, the words violently tearing from my throat as searing pain rippled through my veins. "Don't scream, little bird. You have no need for a voice now that I'm here." Once a proud young man, his past stripped away and his true name lost, Evernight awakens in a world where divine light hides an endless void of despair. In this twisted realm of power, monsters, and forgotten gods, survival demands sacrifice. Humanity is a weakness. Mercy is a death sentence. To rise in this hellscape, Evernight must abandon the man he once was and embrace the only two paths that remain. Order. Or Decay. Angelic Ascension follows the tale of Evernight, a Pseudo Deity who has been forced into an ongoing war between two deities fighting for supremacy. But as he travels further, he begins to realise it isn't so simple as one side is bad and the other good. Both are corrupted to the brink, and as he fights for the freedom of all angels under Order's Tyranny. A single thought begins to pollute his mind to destroy the infection before it infects everything good in this world of terror.

This Novel is NOT dropped, I've just had a lot happen in life. I am planning to pick this back up ASAP. (Signed by Author on October 18th, 2025) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.

In a future where love is still treated like something sacred, humanity has quietly begun to fracture under its weight. People fight for love, chase it, fear it, or reshape themselves just to survive it. Some choose self-preservation and build walls so high they forget what connection feels like. Others surrender completely, even when love slowly erases who they are. And a few remain open, feeling everything, even when it breaks them over and over again. But something deeper is wrong. Love no longer behaves like something natural. It glitches through people, distorts choices, rewrites emotions, and leaves behind versions of humans they no longer recognize. When two deeply scarred souls cross paths, they become part of an emotional anomaly that shouldn’t exist, pulling them into a connection that feels less like fate and more like a system error in reality itself. And as their bond deepens, the truth begins to surface: Love didn’t fail humanity. Humanity became incompatible with love.

Judgment day has arrived and the dead have risen. Whilst Faye Fraizer was on holiday with her little brother, Theodore (Teddy), and their friends, the whole world changes overnight into an apocalyptic hellscape. From a horror movie to something out of a sci-fi flick, they're forced to adapt to zombies and their supernatural abilities. Yichen, a rich young playboy to many, encounter the sibling duo and takes them under his wing. As time passes Faye cannot help but think that this 'young master' is more than meets the eye. Not only does he seem overly familiar, but he's also rather clingy and she cannot seem to shake him off... -------- Authors Note: Welcome to my new apocalyptic romance novel. Sci-fi, romance, aspects of spiritualism/theology. It might seem like one big complex jumble of lore from all my works (since they all exist within the same 'multi-verse') however, I hope I have laid it all out in a concise manner. I aim to drip-feed it to you, bit by bit, without spoiling the other novels at all. This multi-verse is entirely fictional and based on my own collective experiences, knowledge, and fantastical theories. Though I'm still severely lacking and limited, I'm still learning. So please comment, point out anything you don't understand or find wrong, etc. I thoroughly welcome it. Constructive criticism not only helps grow my talent but my mind as well. There are both light and dark elements in my novels. Though I try to keep them balanced, it inevitably relates to the impact I want the story to have on you. Keeping that in mind, the main theme of all my novels is embracing and overcoming the shadow of yourself, to figure out the direction of your light. These are novels aimed at an ADULT audience with young adults to middle-aged characters. I care about the 'little guys' too, so there are a plethora of characters you will hopefully learn to love. There will be relevant smut scenes, but with warnings as well as any warnings for any other 'major triggers'. I never support or try to glorify toxic/abusive relationships. Though rocky, my main leads' romances are all about their journey of growth of themselves, as well as the growth they develop as a unit. Much love, Raychbunni P.S. Novel Art my temporary attempt (via nightcafe) at all the main characters, I'll let you have fun figuring out who is who ;)

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Olivia transmigrated from the apocalypse to the modern era. Not only that, her dimension and superpower came along with her. She felt that the good days were about to begin. But before she could be happy for even three days, the internet was flooded with posts slandering her. Advertisers and directors want to terminate her contracts, and her company wants to blacklist her? How could this be? She wanted to use the money to enjoy modern life to the fullest. Without money, how could she enjoy anything? So, who's slandering her online? I'll find you and dig up all your dirty secrets. Who wants to terminate her contract? Terminate it immediately. After termination, she'll go on to endorse international luxury brands instead. Terminating the script contract? Good, that's great! If the contract isn't terminated, how can she film the blockbuster drama of the year and win awards with it? Modern life is so wonderful, eating and drinking every day. There's just one tiny problem. Why are there suddenly two babies growing in her belly? And who is this ridiculously handsome man who appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be their father?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
