storm beneath crystal chandeliers

In a bold endeavor to unravel the mysteries of the soul, the Solar System Alliance clandestinely established an organization of brilliance known as the Apocalypse Youth Class. This elite assembly drew together the most gifted young individuals from across the four federations of the solar system. However, their pursuit of knowledge was marred by a catastrophic incident that resulted in numerous casualties. The prime culprit was imprisoned, leading to the dissolution of the youth class and the sealing of their records, henceforth becoming a forbidden chapter in history. Five years later, the Tianjing Mech Academy for Mecha Warfare, having faced disappointment in the inter-solar system mecha competition, fortuitously welcomed the top student from the Asian district's mecha preparatory class, Tong Shen, heralding a period of rejuvenation. Yet, this was merely the beginning of a series of inexplicable events, with the epicenter surprisingly being an obscure second-year student. Mecha, the ultimate romance of man.

Dans une audacieuse entreprise pour percer les mystères de l’âme, l’Alliance du Système Solaire établit clandestinement une organisation d’éclat connue sous le nom de Classe Jeunesse de l'Apocalypse. Cette assemblée d’élite rassemblait les jeunes individus les plus doués issus des quatre fédérations du système solaire. Cependant, leur quête de connaissance fut entachée par un incident catastrophique qui entraîna de nombreuses victimes. Le principal coupable fut emprisonné, conduisant à la dissolution de la classe des jeunes et au scellement de leurs dossiers, devenant dès lors un chapitre interdit de l'histoire. Cinq ans plus tard, l’Académie Mécanique de Tianjing pour la Guerre Méca, ayant fait face à la déception dans la compétition Méca inter-système solaire, accueillit fortuitement l’étudiant en tête de la classe préparatoire Méca du district Asiatique, Tong Shen, annonçant une période de renouveau. Pourtant, ce n'était que le début d'une série d’événements inexplicables, avec pour épicentre un étudiant de deuxième année étonnamment méconnu. Le Méca, l’ultime romance de l’homme.

Transmigrating to a world ruled by dragons, he becomes a red dragon named Karon. The first enemy he needs to fight against is his own sister, a little dragon which tries to snatch his food. "Eat it, fool, don't let your injuries affect your upcoming first slumber." "I accept your favor,"

She saved someone out of kindness, and never expected that she'd die in the process and her soul would traverse to an unknown era. When Xinyue woke up, she found out she had become an eight-year-old girl. Her family lived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, subsisting on ginseng farming, but life was bitterly hard. Luckily, her parents were neither soft nor favoring any one child and neither were her grandparents. Alright then, let the whole family join forces, all aiming for Xiao Kang.

Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities. —But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive. Xiao He: …I was a perfectly fine college student, who the h*ll wants to be a criminal?! Huh? There’s actually a loophole! By chance, Xiao He triggered a bug in the cheat skill. He figured out a way to substitute real crimes with acting performances and broke into the entertainment industry as a professional villain! He can be a refined yet depraved mu*derer, wielding a chainsaw and haunting everyone’s nightmares. He can be a heartless, despicable fugitive whose crimes are so notorious that the public wants him dead. He’s a romance scammer, a serial killer, a cold-blooded assassin… He’s actor Xiao He! —At first, Xiao He was just trying to survive by constantly taking villain roles. But unexpectedly, he rose to fame with his so-called “nonexistent acting skills” and became one of the hottest award-winning actors in the industry! Everyone in the business knows: the more people a script’s character kills, the faster Xiao He accepts the role. But outsiders say: He doesn’t look like he’s acting at all—better investigate him thoroughly! Even the fans are saying: Bro, please stop killing people! I’m seriously scared you’ll end up in jail! Yet, while the real “cancers” of the industry kept getting arrested, the one who looked most like a villain—Xiao He—kept thriving, even sweeping awards like crazy. Eventually, everyone was like: Whatever, let him stab people on screen for us. Just give him space.

#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.

(WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!!!) "You're going to be the death of me Aurelia." He muttered to her. "Valerian pls...am tired. You need to calm yourself." For heavens sake, he just made her have three orgasms while sore from the previous night. And he's seriously not trying to make her have the fourth one...is he? Breathing hardly now, his eyes locked on her lips. "You know that this one is your fault." "My fault?" She asked in shock. "What did I even do?" "You seduced me." He said and Aurelia was stunned speechless. With an erotic deep sound, valerian quickly descended his head as his mouth devoured hers with renewed vigour and primal hunger. It was as if he were so starved for her taste and was ravenous for her again. ****** In a land divided by elements and ruled by powerful lords blessed by ancient gods- Ignarion- god of fire. Vireon -god of storms. Caelion- god of wind. Neryth-goddess of ice and water. And Thalor- god of earth. Every alliance forged and every oath sworn carries the weight of divine power... and ancient prophecy. For centuries, each lord has coveted more power, more dominion, and more control. One spark is all it takes to ignite war. Born of fire, Aurelia Flameborne was once the pride and beloved daughter of Ashmere. A beautiful warrior princess, destined for greatness and betrothed to Neris Winterbourne, the cold and noble Lord of Winter. All of that shatters the day the witch Ishara curses her. After the devastating War of Ashmere, Her face becomes scarred, her magic fractures, and her family locks her away in the tallest tower, too ashamed to let the world see what she has become. Even her fiancé, the Lord of Winter, abandons her for another. But destiny refuses to let her fade. When whispers from the North threaten to end her engagement, Aurelia's heart shatters. But before her world crumbles completely, a storm rises. Valerian Stormborne, the ambitious and enigmatic Lord of Thunder, steps forward to claim her. Now bound to a tempest, Aurelia finds herself caught in a whirlwind of betrayal, political games, and the unexpected warmth of love from her tempestuous husband… and her husband's son who calls her mother. But beneath the surface of mortal schemes, the gods begin to stir. Buried deep in the ashes of Caelmont lies an ancient prophecy: A child blessed by all five gods, born of powers that should never mix, will either unite the fractured realms… or bring about their ruin. Now, every Lord wants that child. Every kingdom seeks to control fate. But the gods? They have plans of their own. Now Aurelia stands at the center of obsession and war. The Lord of Winter who rejected her wants her back. The Lord of Wind hides desire behind a cunning smile. Her sister, plots from the shadows. And Valerian, the man who swore she'd "never be a wife," to him begins to burn for her with a passion he cannot control. Caught between storms, gods, and a love that could destroy kingdoms, Aurelia must rise—or the realms will fall.
