概要

Galen Lykaios has been a cupid for nearly 4,600 years. He definitely doesn't volunteer to be one. It's a punishment because he carries a ton of bitterness and grudges after death toward an ex-lover who betrayed his trust. For thousands of years, he has to watch as most of his charges get their happily ever after. Then he encounters Dion Angelos during one of his assignments, and he senses a spark between them.<br><br>Dion owns Angelos Funeral Home. He enjoys working on dead bodies because he can keep his interaction with the living down to a bare minimum. People can be stupid and irritating. However, he doesn't mind when they return as spirits because he enjoys most of their conversations. Then he encounters an ancient demon who seems hell-bent on killing him.<br><br>Can Galen and Dion form a relationship while battling against the ancient demon?

Chapter 1Chapter 1

“Never thought I’d see the day when someone like you would be slumming it with the likes of me.”

Galen Lykaios halted in his tracks and turned around. He didn’t know the owner of that particular mocking tone of voice, but he certainly recognized what the man was.

“You’re one of the grim reapers.”

The grim reaper bowed at Galen while sneering at him at the same time. “Odon at your service, Your Majesty.”

Galen suppressed the temptation to get into a fight with Odon. Not that he was frightened of Odon. After all, they were both angels. While Odon was the angel of death who stayed in the underworld for the most part, Galen was the angel of love, better known as a cupid, who had to live on the mortal plane because he was tasked with uniting two or more souls. He wasn’t provided with a choice as to where he wanted to reside, though. Heaven would never welcome someone like him. All of the occupants in hell hated the ones in heaven, and the animosity, for some unfathomable reason, bled over onto him even though he had never stepped one foot into anywhere up there.

“Are you here to pick up a soul?” Galen inquired while pointing at the restaurant in front of them.

“No. I’m here on a holiday. Hell is getting too warm this time of the year.”

Odon’s facial expression was neutral, but there was no mistaking the sarcasm in the grim reaper’s tone of voice. Moreover, Galen knew hell was always burning hot anytime of the year. He scoffed at Odon in response.

“Whatever.”

After that, Galen ignored Odon, and he decided he should get as far away from the grim reaper as possible before he lost his temper. He was just about to make his escape when Odon cleared his throat loudly. Galen stopped and faced Odon once again, waiting expectantly for the grim reaper’s next snide remark.

“More than one soul.”

Galen immediately gaped at Odon. He wasn’t sure if he was more astonished by the fact that Odon was willing to share that particular information with him, or by the impending reality that many people were about to die soon enough. However, that wasn’t important. His angelic magic might not include the ability to predict the future, but he didn’t need it. Odon’s answer to his earlier question was clear enough. That was the moment Galen noticed all of the other angels of death that surrounded him. All of them, including Odon, were dressed in white from head to toe. Even the feathers on their wings were pure white everywhere. Galen stared at the restaurant for a second or two before he turned toward Odon.

“No survivor?”

Odon shook his head as he gestured at the buildings on both sides of the restaurant before glancing at some of the vehicles that were stuck on the road because of the traffic jam. He also darted his eyes toward some of the pedestrians who were close enough to the restaurant.

“They have to die,” Odon replied.

Galen was quiet for a short moment because he didn’t quite know how he was supposed to respond to that announcement. He had been a cupid for nearly four thousand and six hundred years now, and he had witnessed many deaths over the same time period. However, it didn’t make it any easier each and every time he happened to encounter such an event, especially when it occurred in a sudden and violent manner. Galen briefly wondered how the grim reapers could bear the pain and heartache of witnessing death after death over the years, and he clenched his fists as he attempted to ignore the terror that coursed through his entire being when he noticed some of the children inside the vehicles or running around in close proximity to the restaurant.

“Including the children?”

Odon nodded. “All of them.”

“Why—”

“Everything is written in the book of fate, and nobody has the right to question anything that is meant to be,” Odon interrupted with a shrug, and in the next instant, all of the grim reapers began to glow. “It’s time.”

Galen knew what that meant. He shut his eyes a second before he heard the blast. He could feel the debris, glass shards, fire, and many other things slamming against the protective cocoon of his angelic magic. He heard the screams. He could sense the excruciating agony that sliced through the victims’ souls. He knew the moment those people died because he was able to detect when their souls departed from their bodies. However, there was nothing he, or anyone else for that matter, could do to help any of them. He was a cupid. There was only one specific reason why he existed. Everything else was none of his business.

My Dear Duke(BL)

On his 20th birthday, Asher's mother confessed something he never expected. After the truth was revealed, she died giving her last blessing to him. That's when Asher found himself all alone, confused about his own identity and worrying about his future. What did she say? -He was someone special? -Someone people would come after? She said he was coming from a very rare but also a very special race called omega where men could get pregnant. Was it real? At first, Asher strictly refused to accept his mother's confession. But in the end, he had to believe it. Because it was the bitter truth. If he was really coming from such a rare race, and had such a special body, did he have to live all his life hiding so he wouldn't get caught and become someone's plaything? Was that the only way to avoid getting the bad ending his father got? Why was he even born as someone like this?! He just wanted a peaceful life. So, it wouldn't be as dangerous as his mother said if he just forgot he was special and lived like a normal person, right? People would not notice. Alas, it's been a long time since people last saw an omega and they must be believing no omega exists now. At least that's what he thought... He thought people might have forgotten about his existence and he would not have to face any problems in the future.  Whether he was special or not, he still became a target. When he was kidnapped and auctioned as a slave, he regretted ignoring his mother's last advice. "Don't trust anyone easily. Your safety is in your hands and protecting yourself is your duty." He could only blame himself and expect for the worst if his special identity was to get revealed and meet the same end as his father did. However, his fate gave him a second chance along with a huge surprise which changed his life for the better. Hopefully, Asher was saved by the so-called 'bloodthirsty monster' duke and brought to his mansion to babysit his spoiled 10-year-old little sister who threw tantrums declaring she wants Asher to pat her head and comfort her. Just to babysit this adorable, little girl.  He was safe. His secret was also secured within himself. Thanks to that chaotic sister and brother, Asher's life slowly took new turns and continued with almost no obstacles...till some point. The surprise? The duke happened to have some kind of a 'strange' illness that had no cure. Not long after when Asher discovered it, he ended up becoming the perfect cure for his illness. But how? -Remember? He was 'special'! Where would his specialty as an omega lead his life to? What kind of mysteries would he have to encounter with this duke wishing comfort from him?  Will the duke's 'strange' illness ever get healed? How would their story flow to that perfect happy ending with the twist of love landing in the middle of their 'just a deal'? ________________ Note:  This story continues in a historical timeline. Similar to omegaverse, but not the same omegaverse universe. Magic, revenge, dukes, royal families, curses, spells, heats, ruts... (The book cover is from Pinterest. Respect to the artist.)

Red Blossom System (BL)

Completed. “Flowers grow back, even after they are stepped on, and so will I.”  For over a millennium, Cillian had shouldered the role of a guardian, or as he would jest, a glorified gardener. In his recollection, he'd emerged in an endless expanse known as Blossom Central, his memory a mere fragment with only his name. He was bound to the Red Blossom system Bloom, where an annoying flying entity named Bliss, the personification of Bloom, materialized as his assistant. Cillian's duty centered on nurturing the Red Blossom trees and safeguarding the cherries from falling. Each Red Blossom tree represented a distinct world, relying on his care to prosper. One day, Bliss mustered the courage to disrupt Cillian's nap despite knowing it could be risky. But he had a compelling reason – numerous Red Blossom trees had lost their cherries, a situation that had never occurred before. The fallen cherries meant that the worlds connected to those trees were in danger of collapsing. It was all because a mortal's destiny had been altered. To prevent the impending calamity, they needed to restore that mortal's fate to its rightful course. --------------------------- Cillian, desperation etched across his face, pushed the man atop him, pleading, "Please, enough, I can't take it anymore." The man swiftly reclaimed his position, his lips trailing along Cillian's Adam's apple. He whispered sensually, "We're just getting started; I'm not finished playing with you." Internally, Cillian urgently reached out to Bliss: *Bliss, get your ass over here!* *Yes, Master?* *Who the hell is this man, and why does he persistently follow me from world to world?* Bliss responded with feigned innocence, *I truly have no idea, Master.* Cillian issued a dire threat, *Tell me what you're keeping from me.* Before Bliss could utter a word, the man's lips descended upon his own with a hunger. Their tongues intertwined, and he emphasized dominantly, "I've told you, darling, don't address me as anything other than Gege." Cillian was on the verge of tears. Stuck in Blossom Central, he'd always harbored disdain for his circumstances, but now he was relentlessly pursued by this shameless, tofu-eating stranger who insisted on being called Gege. Like a fool, he thought he would get to play with Alterers, but he's the one getting played with over and over again...
