Ringkasan

Finley Harlow knows what it's like to live life on other people's terms. Those of her family, of her boyfriend, of society as a whole... Granted, the decisions she'd made had always been her own, but her options had always been limited. And the choices had always been simple. Do as her grandmother tells her, or be cut off. Play house like a good little girlfriend, or not have a house to come home to at all. Take the easy road, or risk burning in the crash. Most of her life she spent drawing inside other people's lines, but when those lines start to unravel, Finley decides there is only one way to go: out. Sometimes, however, the only way towards freedom is through hell. And sometimes, that hell is run by a handsome but unpredictable god with a goal of his own... ********** N.B.: Greek gods & goddesses are part of this story, as are other supernatural beings, but my take on them is modern. This is not a Hades & Persephone retelling. Trigger Warnings will be added along the way.

He was a bad boy with tattoos and she was a mystery with glasses. ____________ _____________ ___________ She slowly left her residence with a canvas, paint and brush in hand. She did not deviate from her usual routine and the night was beautiful in the light of the stars and the moon. She walked to the newly discovered spot lake and it was a like shore. Leaning on a rock by her feet, she looked up at the sky and flashed through her mind all the events that had happened in her life. Suddenly, out of nowhere, something like a flash of lightning passed behind her , she could not tell what it was. But then, regardless of that, she turned to her art. Despite this she felt someone watching her, but she could not see anyone. The university strictly prohibited children from going out at night after twilight. She thought there was something wrong with that, but she didn't care. Forbidding her thoughts, she heard the scream of a girl and the chirping of birds in the distance. She panicked, She suddenly thought about the deaths that were going on there. But interrupting her thoughts, someone whispered in her ear."It took time to realize that the bespectacled girl was a rule breaker, When I saw the tattoos on the back of the neck, I realized that the glasses are fake, So this is real Headly medina".She was shocked.His deep voice reverberated through her mind. She turned slowly and looked into his eyes. she whispered softly"Edan Emric".She felt herself melting into those eyes"your eyes are beautiful like a dark rose".He felt a rush through his body. she didn't know why she said that but later she came to her senses.suddenly Through his sharp ears he heard someone walking towards their spot. He stroked her gently and said "You did not come here today, you did not see me, you did not hear any sound here, okay".She was surprised. Then she asked "why would I? ".He was stunned for a moment.he thought for a moment' Why didn't she become compelled'. he regained all his senses and said "If you don't want the consequences of breaking this rule, do as I say".She was a little confused and said "ok". even when he brought her to her dorm his whole thought was why she wasn't compelled. He realized that she was a mystery like him. He felt something pulling him closer to her. He brought his lips to her ear and whisper softly" I want to know how many more rules you are going to break".Her heart went cold because of his deep aria voice. she said, regaining all her courage, "Expect nothing and I won't break any rules from now on".She said this and walked away. A red color flashed through his eyes as he watched her back. 'We'll see', he thought to himself.

An Author's Struggle - What Lies Ahead

In 2030, the advent of AI quakes civilization at its core. The unexpected ramifications of its use sends ripples across each facet of society. Economics, service, transportation, media — all suffer from mass layoffs. Homes are lost, businesses crumble, and families fall apart, all thanks to the overlords they readily welcomed in. The promised high-tech world — a false prophecy, made by corporations who no longer wished to rely on the whims of capricious humans. Writers suffer the most, as AI readily replaces what dwindling impact they had on society to begin with. A single prompt could outperform a thousand working hours, and months of bitter editing. The world was living in a fantasy of their own, and writers were no longer needed in it. Morpheus was once a top writer, but now he finds himself unable to keep up. His contract with the QiE-Novel Megacorp hangs like an ever-tightening noose around him. He lives and breathes at their mercy. When an accident occurs, he finds himself ruthlessly cut off. Full of resentment, he lashes out, and they readily take the opportunity to end his contract. It was the last straw, and he buckles. Spending his last days writing unseen poems of woes, he eventually perishes. « System: » Neurablink 1.0.23-beta restarting, please wait. … System reset complete; The date is 23.05.2023; all functions online. Blink to confirm! He was reborn, his only quest: write all wrongs.

Rescue Me!

'Quote: He turned back to me and raised a brow. "What?" He asked. "N-Nothing." I bowed my head trying my best to refrain from making eye contact. He inched his way closer to me and I struck the fork in his sleeveless arm and dashed out the back door. "I'm gonna murder you bitch!" I heard him scream. I didn't know what else to do, I scrambled on my knees harboring the mysterious man's black coat burying my face in it. "Honcho." My chaser stopped and took a small bow. 'Honcho...? Leader... Boss?!' My heart began to throb. I was in serious trouble now... "Leave her." The man ordered. "What?" The both of us shot back in unison. "I said leave her. She'll be my... Pet from now on." The man nodded and shot me a glare. I jolted back hitting my head on the car door. "Aren't you a clumsy one." a feeble grin etched his lips... -End Quote *** Description: 16-year-old Marinette Li Zheng only wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends... but those friends neglected her. The teen started walking home when a car stopped in front of her, inside sat a man who mistook her for a prostitute. Moments later she was running for her life, scaling tall gates even winding up at what soon will be a murder crime scene! Luckily, at 19 years old age she's able to escape his deadly grasp but unfortunately winds up in someone else's hands... Her previous holder's rival and greatest enemy... *** Quote: ''How many times do I have to say it? You. Are. Mine. Would you like me to embed it in your mind? I'm positive you won't forget after this~'' His deep cold voice sent shivers down my spine as he held my cheeks cupping them with his leather-clothed hands. I stared into his electric green eyes as his golden locks hung in front of his forehead. He brought his mouth to my ear making me shiver as his lip caressed my cheeks, he gently bit my ear lobe. I let out an involuntary moan and instantly regretted it. ''Fuck.'' my lips mumbled as he would soon- *** Mature Content Warning: - R Rated Language - Sex/Sexual themes - Human trafficking - Rape - Violence/Death
