What Lives Beneath the Veil

What Lives Beneath the Veil

#completed What Lives Beneath the Veil --- She smiles. You trust her. That is your first mistake. Your last mistake is breathing. --- THE PREMISE Every monster wears a mask. The most dangerous ones wear innocence. Princess Liora Veyne is born without a soul. No one notices. Not her family. Not her kingdom. Not the countless victims who will one day die smiling because she told them everything would be fine. She learns early: the world trusts a sweet face. So she gives them one. Eyes wide. Voice soft. Smile gentle. The perfect princess. The harmless girl. The last thing you will ever see. Behind the mask: centuries of blood. --- THE CURSE Her 101st victim does not die quietly. He dies cursing. No lover will ever satisfy you. You will crave endlessly—always hungry, never full. Every person who touches you will become your next sacrifice. The curse does not break her. It perfects her. Now she hunts differently. Not with violence. With seduction. Every willing body becomes a ritual. Every night of pleasure becomes a countdown to death. She traps them with charm, consumes them with hunger, and adds their power to her own. The craving never stops. Neither does she. --- THE CYCLE Across centuries, they come. Heroes. Warriors. Chosen ones. They gather their allies. They forge their weapons. They believe—foolishly, beautifully—that this time will be different. It is never different. She defeats them all. Not in battle. In trust. She learns their names. Their hopes. Their weaknesses. She becomes whatever they need—a friend, a lover, a savior—and destroys them when they are too broken to fight back. Their bodies fuel her immortality. Their screams become her lullaby. And the mask never slips. --- THE HORROR She watches kingdoms burn. Empires crumble. Stars die. She adapts. Evolves. Wears new faces in every era. Medieval castles. Industrial cities. Digital worlds. The future. The mask changes. The hunger does not. She is immortal. Insatiable. Unstoppable. And no one knows. Not the heroes who die trying to stop her. Not the families who weep at her "tragic" funerals. Not the world that calls her good. The veil has never lifted. It never will. --- THE TRUTH This is not a story about redemption. The villainess does not learn to love. The curse does not break. The heroes do not win. This is a story about failure. Eternal, absolute, hopeless failure. Every hero falls. Every lover dies. Every attempt to stop her makes her stronger. The cycle has no end. The hunger has no cure. The mask has no crack. She walks among you now. She smiles at you now. And you will never, ever know. --- "She has been wearing the veil for a thousand years. You will never see what lives beneath." --- End of Synopsis CONTENT WARNING: This series contains explicit sexual violence, human sacrifice, psychological torture, murder of innocent characters (including children and family members), ritualistic killing, and extreme horror. No character is safe. Read at your own risk.

Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile

Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery." Ding Dong "Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone. "Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave. "Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." "Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. "I'm hungry. Let's talk food first." "Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked. Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'" In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently. "Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!" "But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!" "... what's your reason?" "A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job." "No." "Pretty please" "No!" "Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~" "I'm not that cheap." "Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!" "Deal." In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?" "No.. sir" "Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!" "Yes!" *THERE IS NO RAPE OR ANY SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS NOVEL. BUT WARNING OF 18+ CONTENT* The book cover is not mine, credits go to the original author.

Darkness Beneath the Light

Darkness Beneath the Light

In a world where appearances deceive and truth is often silenced, Darkness Beneath the Light tells a heart-wrenching story of honor, betrayal, justice, and the devastating consequences of false accusations. Haroon Sahib is a noble and upright police officer, widely respected for his integrity and dedication. With his gentle and pious wife Maryam, he raises two sons—Ubaid, the elder, mature and focused on becoming a lawyer, and Irfan, the younger, bright, emotional, and dreaming of joining the military to serve his country. The family lives a humble yet dignified life, held together by love and strong values. But their world begins to unravel when Maryam passes away, leaving a hollow in the hearts of her husband and children. Haroon, once emotionally present, becomes withdrawn. Ubaid, out of duty, takes charge of family responsibilities. Irfan, however, seeks solace outside the home and begins to drift toward questionable friendships. During college, Irfan meets Komal, a beautiful and confident girl who wins his trust and affection. Unbeknownst to him, Komal is a puppet in the hands of a criminal syndicate. Alongside her manipulative friend Sanam, Komal lures Irfan into an emotional and physical relationship, convincing him to cross boundaries he once swore he'd never break. Then, the trap is sprung—Sanam accuses him of sexual assault. The case explodes into scandal. The honorable Haroon is publicly humiliated. Media, neighbors, and colleagues turn against him. The father who once stood as a pillar of justice now bears the shame of a disgraced name. Irfan is arrested and, despite Ubaid taking up the case as his defense lawyer, is sentenced to life imprisonment. The evidence has been expertly manipulated; Ubaid loses the trial, and with it, a part of himself. Shattered by the verdict, Haroon suffers a stroke and becomes paralyzed. The household plunges into darkness, each member battling guilt and grief. Ubaid, determined to uncover the truth, joins forces with Inspector Raza, Haroon’s former colleague. Their investigation reveals Komal and Sanam’s involvement in an organized racket that targets innocent young men. As new evidence comes to light and other victims testify, a retrial is ordered. Komal and Sanam are arrested, and the truth finally emerges. After years in prison, Irfan is exonerated. But the damage is irreversible—his military dreams shattered, his youth stolen, and his spirit deeply wounded. Haroon, on his deathbed, finds peace in knowing his son is free. He passes away a broken yet vindicated man. Irfan begins a difficult journey of healing, supported by Ubaid, who now runs a legal aid service to help those falsely accused. Together, they rise from the ashes, carrying their father’s torch of justice. Darkness Beneath the Light is a powerful tale about the cost of silence, the cruelty of deception, and the resilience of those who dare to fight back. It reminds us that evil often hides behind beauty, but the truth, no matter how long buried, will find its light

What are the different types of scars in the full story of scars?
The different types of scars in the full story of scars are quite diverse. Hypertrophic scars are characterized by their raised appearance and redness. They occur when the body overproduces collagen during the healing process. Keloid scars are a more serious form, often larger and more irregular in shape, and they can keep growing over time. Atrophic scars, which are sunken, can be the result of skin diseases or improper wound healing. There are also flat scars, which are the least noticeable, but still a part of the scar story. These form when the skin heals evenly and the collagen production is more balanced.
