Have you ever wondered about God? Have you wondered about who created the universe? Have you wondered why you were created/born? Have you wondered who Jesus Christ is? Have you wondered about what life is? Have you been searching, but don't know what you are searching for? The Bible is what I believe is the Truth for Jesus said, "For God so loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16



This is not owned by me, but by the Creator of the stars, skies, seas, and everything in and around them.

Earl Andrade proclaimed his self as a frustrated but determined  writer. Pabalik-balik siya sa isang publishing company subalit paulit- ulit din ang rejeksyong nakukuha niya.  but, in a fateful day he met a loquacious girl who insulted his work and end up following her.

Jae-Sik hesitated in front of Gun-Ho's office before he entered the office.
"Hey, Jae-Sik, please come in. The guests already left."
Jae-Sik entered the office and sat carefully at the conference table in Gun-Ho's office.
"I talked with the lady president who used to work for KimBooks."
"That's good. So you found her phone number."
"My college friend who was my junior at that time happened to work for KimBooks at their editorial department. He also majored in creative writing like me. He made me promise to him that I wouldn't tell anyone that I got her number from him."
"Really? So what does that lady president say?"
"She said she wanted to have some time off from her work at first. And then, once she found out that the person who wanted to talk with her is the president of a big auto parts company, she seems to be interested suddenly."
"So is she willing to meet with me?"
"She said she would visit the company. It seems that she has already been contacted by so many swindlers who said they would want to start a publishing company with her. So, she wants to make sure that you are really the person who is running a big company."
"Haha, really? So when is she coming here?"
"She said she will be here by 2 pm tomorrow."
"That's good. You should be here by 2 pm tomorrow too, okay?"
"Okay, I will."
"Do you have any information on her? Like how old she is?"
"I don't know much about her, but as far as I know, she graduated from Ewha Woman's University; she should be in her late 40s. She has an extensive sales network in the publishing industry, and she has incisive eyes in selecting good books to publish."
"Haha. I see. Okay, I will see you tomorrow at my office."
 
Gun-Ho was dozing off in his office after lunch when Jae-Sik came with a lady. She was that lady president who was known to have the hand of Midas in the publishing field; her name was Jeong-Sook Shin. She looked proud and intelligent. She walked into the office with a long white scarf around her neck. Jae-Sik introduced her to Gun-Ho.
"She is the previous president of KimBooks. This is President Gun-Ho Goo of GH Mobile here."
She offered first her hands to Gun-Ho for a handshake.
"I'm Jeong-Sook Shin. Very nice to meet you."
"I'm Gun-Ho Goo. Please have a seat."
Jeong-Sook sat on a chair.
"I was surprised twice since I came to this company. At first, I was surprised by the size of the company. I was actually expecting to see a factory with several tens of workers, but there are 250 workers in this company. Second, I was surprised because the president of this big company is so young. When I heard that the president of a manufacturing company is interested in starting a publishing company, I expected to see an old man."
 
Gun-Ho picked up the book written by Professor Jien Wang—Economy Trend in China for the 21st Century and showed it to Jeong-Sook.
"A friend of mine in China wrote this book. I want to publish this book in Korea."
The lady was wondering.
"Are you saying that you just want to publish this book, rather than starting a publishing company?"
"Of course not. I want to publish books that are best-selling books on Amazon.com, starting from this book here. I heard you have discerning eyes for recognizing good books."
"Since you are running a big company, I suppose you have enough funds to invest. How much do you intend to invest in a publishing company?"
"How much do you think would be enough?"
"It will take a few months to publish a book, and you need to pay for the expenses including labor until then. You can assume that it will take at least 300 million won until a publishing company starts generating enough income to be self-sufficient."
"300 million won. Okay. With how much salary would you be happy to work with me in running a publishing company?"
"I don't remember telling you that I would work with you in running a publishing business. I just came here out of curiosity since I am taking my time off from work, and I heard someone in the manufacturing industry was interested in the publishing industry."
"I don't know anything about publishing business, but you have been in the publishing field for a long time, and you have extensive experience and discernment in selecting books. I will take care of the necessary funds. Would you work with me and start a publishing company?"
"I have a few conditions."
"What are they?"
 
"First, I don't want to be interfered in running the publishing company."
"That I can do. I can't interfere with something I don't know about. Moreover, I don't have time or energy to do so since I have another company that I need to run."
"Hahaha. That's the thing I like about. That's why I have declined many offers to work together in running a publishing company. I knew you wouldn't interfere in the publishing business since you have your manufacturing company to run."
"Is there a second condition?"
"I'd like to have a stock option in addition to a salary. The major reason why I quit KimBooks was that I couldn't reach an agreement with its president on a stock option. I want 10%."
Gun-Ho shook his head.
"I have a company in China, and I give a stock option of 5%. I can't give you more than that. I need to keep balance and fairness within my companies. Moreover, a publishing business requires me to take a high risk of failure, and the business is not a type of business that would generate substantial revenue."
"Okay, then I will take a salary plus 5% stock option."
"Okay, I will give you that. However, I have a few conditions as well."
"I am listening."
 
"I want you to let Mr. Jae-Sik Moon manage the editorial department."
"Mr. Jae-Sik Moon? Of course, I would love to work with him. He used to work in the publishing industry, and he is an award-winning author of a full-length novel as well. He has extensive work experience in editing as well."
"Secondarily, I know three people in a design company in Seoul. I want you to hire them."
"I can give them an opportunity to have an interview with me. I need to see them first before I can tell you whether I would hire them or not. However, since you recommend them, I will see their qualification favorably."
"I will provide you an office-tel that is located close to the Gangnam station in Seoul."
"Sure. An office-tel would be enough until the company becomes stable."
"Okay then. We will contact you as soon as we complete any administration work on our side. The capital of the company is 300 million won, and the company's name will be GH Media. We will register Gun-Ho Goo and Jeong-Sook Shin as the directors of the company. For any paperwork we need from you in order to register your name as the director of the company, you will be contacted by Manger Seong-Il Kang from GH Development in Seoul."
"Sounds good."
 
When Jeong-Sook and Jae-Sik walked out of Gun-Ho's office, Jeong-Sook asked,
"What does President Goo's father do?"
"President Goo is a self-made successful man."
"Wow! He is so young though."
"He has another factory being built right now; they will soon move to that location. The new factory is in Jiksan Town; he is building a highly advanced factory in a 5,000 pyung large land there."
"5,000 pyung? Wow, he is an amazing person. I don't understand why he wants to have a small publishing company though."
"Why not? He probably likes it a lot."
 
Gun-Ho made a call to his office in Seoul—GH Development. Ji-Young Jeong picked up the phone.
"How is the design company next door doing?"
"Nothing has changed yet, sir. The office is still closed temporarily."
"You said that you know well the person who worked for that company, right?"
"Yes, the person I am close to is the team leader of their design team."
"Can you tell her to come to the office? Tell her that I will acquire that design company."
"Sir? Are you going to buy that design company?"
"Yes. I will be there by noon today. Tell her that I want to meet with her at noon if she doesn't have any prior engagement."
"Sure, I will let her know."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Dear viewers. 
It is sad to say that Dawn of the First Emperor will have to be put on hold for a few more months. Yes I know it is pretty bad to hear that the series I grew to cherish will have to be postponed for an extended period of time. I believe it has to do with my Health problems and my IRL stuff that I have to keep up. Which means I have less time to write a single chapter due to me being incredibly busy. 
Do not threat for I shall renew the series with more exciting content that I come up with. What? You thought I stopped because I ran out of ideas? HERESY! I only stopped updating because I care about the real world around me and in all honesty, I only write because it has always been my dream to have my works published. Hence why I am aiming to get Dawn of the First Emperor to be either a traditionally published book or a self publishing one. I think I'll be leaning towards the self publishing so I can earn more profits if it becomes a success. I will be using a different pen name because I am a man with many names. 
Sincerely yours - Author

I just want to clear something up, this book is currently from wattpad. The book is being updated twice a week. Any comments here are directed towards the wattpad readers. For the book here on this platform, we are basically combing a few chapters together to make them longer. I will update here once a week. Thank you.

So, first off I want to say thank you so much for almost 200 reads. I never thought I would get to this point. Thank you so much. 

Since Jared and Gio have gotten sexually involved, I will be turning my book into a mature book in settings.
I will also be writing more smut for you too read. I will be giving warning before the smut ends so you can skip it if you want too.
I will be getting a better smut writer then myself, so don't worry for those smut critics out there.

I will be releasing a schedule on publishing:
On Mondays I will be publishing a short chapter 300-500 words.
On Saturday's I will be publishing a long chapter 2000-2500 words.
Once every month I will be publishing a special chapter, I currently do not know the criteria for said chapter, but I will be thinking about it.
Every 5 weeks I will be taking a one week break of publishing chapters.

Thank you so much for your support, I never thought I would be here. THANK YOU!!!

Hello again, AkaGin here, bringing a bit of a bad news, unfortunately.
So I have been publishing in this site ever since December 2018, huh; and I guess that will be until today.
I'm leaving this site. This account will still exist, and so are my two stories. But that can change any time, and I might remove this at some point. I do guess that it might be the best to remove after quite some time. Why? Even before I decided that I will stop publishing here, it felt like I have abandoned this site. I used to have the app, be active on the forums, but that's about to end. Normal in Parenthesis has been left out in the dust and so are the early chapters of NijiHo. They have not received any updates like proofreading and a bit of editing in a while.
Initially, my reason to end this is because I didn't really like the absence of text formatting, because various text formatting brings out the life of my stories, and I was stuck with using parentheses and brackets instead of using italics, boldface, and even alignments. I considered returning here if ever the text formatting became a thing here, but it's not what I'm concerned anymore.
I don't feel like I'm having fun publishing here anymore. Even before I began staying home and practiced social distancing, it felt like publishing is just a chore. I don't even open the main site and just jumps here in inkstone and that's it.
And so, I decided that once I have published chapter 100 and update the cover for the last time, I'll leave.
For the final decision, I will remove my stories (or at least the chapters), and my self (if possible) in this site after a month of writing this. And that will be in August 27. I swear that this is a coincidence, but how fitting.
However, I am here to announce that you can still read both NoFutsuu and NijiHo in other websites. It hasn't caught up here, but I would recommend reading them back again for a better reading experience.
With that, thank you very much for reading, and potatoes.

Hi, been a while. Sorry for the radio silence! 
A lot has happened with Gaia Online since I last posted an update. First and foremost, I've come to the realization that I'm pretty bad at this web novel thing--to no one's surprise, really! I've now rewritten Gaia Online for the umpteenth time and gone through several iterations of the overall setting, plot, and characters. 
I've decided to pursue a more traditional publishing route (or self-publishing) for this story when--or if--I manage to finish it in a way that satisfies me. Since I'm writing in my spare time, and mostly during vacations where I can really lose myself in the characters and their world, it will likely take me several years.
I hope you've enjoyed the first incarnation of Gaia Online even in its woefully unfinished form and apologize for removing it from webnovel.com. Should I be lucky enough to catch the attention of a publisher, they will likely not want my work on a platform that's not theirs, draft like state and all.
Thank you for your time, for showing interest, and for your kind comments. I will strive to become an author worthy of your time.
With appreciation, MC Shael

This story will no longer be published on this platform.

Chapter 6

"Flora, come on. You haven't come out with us in months."
I ignore Mia's whining and continue watching the video playing on my laptop.
Her and Asia both jump on the bed making the laptop bounce and land near the edge of the mattress.
My eyes flash to the two giggling messes beside me. "If that had of missed the edge and hit the floor, you'd both be paying for a new one."
"I'll buy you a new one if you come out with us?" Mia tries to bribe me.
"No thanks. My one works perfectly fine" I respond. "When are the two of you leaving?
"When you get ready to come." They both say in unison.
"I don't feel like going anywhere tonight." I say, the exhaustion apparent in my voice. "And I have a to be at the studio by eight-thirty tomorrow morning."
Asia flips onto her stomach and reaches over to clutch my arm in her hands. "If you come I'll do the thing you told me about today."
As Jaxon and I were on our way to pick up lunch, we finished the conversation we had with Asia and Sophie earlier this morning. He brought up the name of a friend of a friend who works with a company that helps promote self-published books.
The company has a bunch off influencers who have a following on one or more social media platforms. How it works is, you send them the final edited draft of your book, if they like it they go through the list of their influencers to see which ones have a following they think would be interested in buying it and out of each book sale that comes from the links the influencers are given, the company gets a twenty per cent commission, which they use to pay themselves and the influencers who promoted the book.
After Asia and I left work I mentioned everything Jaxon had told me.
"They handle all the marketing for the book and you don't even have to pay any money upfront, they just take a percentage out of each book purchased through the link the influencers are given."
She pursed her lips, unsure about the idea. "I don't know if self-publishing is the way I want to go."
"You wouldn't have to self publish forever." I said. "You could just self publish two books and use them to gain a fanbase."
"I'll think about it."
I wasn't sure she'd actually go for the self-publishing idea. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great. Especially for authors who don't write mainstream content that traditional publishers want. And when I think of Asia and what kind of writer she is and the content she writes, I see her getting a six-figure deal and the books doing so well they get adapted into a movie.
Maybe I'm biased.
Those kind of book deals rarely happen. And it scares me to think that Asia will chase after the dream of getting traditionally published for as long as she writes.
Along with that, I've always thought in the back of my mind that if she ever got a publishing deal, that there would be a power struggle between her and the publisher. Asia can take constructive criticism just fine, but if a publisher were to try changing the ending or relationship between the love interests just to appease readers. I don't even want to think about what would happen.
Her having one hundred percent control over what does and doesn't stay in the book is one of the reasons I think she should do this.
I raise my eyebrows, shocked by Asia' agreement to self publish one of her books. "Are you sure you want to? You can't back out once I leave this apartment with the two of you."
Rolling her eyes, she pushes herself off the bed. "Yes, I'm sure. I thought about it and...I think it might actually work for me."
"What changed your mind?" I ask.
"I'm happy with all my books. The way they're written, the storyline, everything. I think if I published them traditionally they be changed. And I don't want that."
"So this is a control thing?"
"We all know you love control" Mia teases.
I belt out laughing thinking back to Asia' eighteenth birthday. "I always knew Kody had a thing for being submissive."
"Right!?" Mia joins in. "I just never thought you would dominate someone."
She fake glares at us. "I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about."
"And..."
"It felt kinda good telling him what he was and wasn't allowed to do or say." She explains.
"Maybe we should find someone for Flora to dominate." Mia suggests, wiggling her eyebrows,
"Please don't." I groan.
"If you can't find one for yourself, what makes you think you can find one for Flora?" Asia laughs. "She's pickier than you and I put together."
As I head for the bathroom, I stop in front of the wardrobe, pulling out my favourite dress and the new bra and thong set I bought. The door closes behind me and I strip off my clothes, clipping on my bra and sliding on the thong.
The reflection in the mirror shows me the faint white stretch marks on my hips and shoulders. I quickly pull the dress over my head, letting It fall around my body, covering the scars.
"The uber will be here in five!" Mia yells through the door,
_______________________________
"Remind me again why we had to come here?" I look around the room, seeing women dressed in the finest evening outfits and men wearing slacks and button-ups.
Mia drags us straight to the bar. "Because I need a rich man to pay my bills and eat my pussy." A man sitting two bar stools away hears the statement she makes and chokes on his drink.
"Tell the whole room why don't you!" I whisper, acting like I don't know her.
"If I did, I'm sure someone would volunteer."
"Oh my god." I mumble. "I'm going to the bathroom."
I walk down the dimly lit hallway searching for signs on the wall that could tell me where the bathroom is. It's so dark I almost walk past the first door I see. As I reach for the handle, the door opens and knocks me back into the wall.
"Oww." I squeeze my eyes shut as my forehead starts throbbing.
"Shit! Are you okay?"
My eyes flutter open, the figure standing in front of me slowly coming into focus as my blurry vision fades. "I'm fine."
"Maybe you should sit down for a minute. I'll get you some water." He disappears down the hallway.
I don't know if I'm hearing things or if it's real, but the man's voice sounds so familiar. I swear I know someone with that voice, but I'm almost positive I'd remember who.
Especially if they were as attractive as this man is.
"Here you go." He hands me the glass of water.
"Thanks." I respond before gulping it.
"Uhh...do you feel dizzy or sick." 
I shake my head.
"My friends are probably wondering where I am." I say. " I should go..."
"Of course!" He brushes a hand through his black hair. "Sorry about knocking you with the door."'
We get to the end of the hallway, stopping to face each other. "There's no way you could have known I was there."
I let my eyes roam over his face, taking note of small details. Grey eyes scattered with flecks of pale blue, a small thin scar above his right eyebrow, nose slightly bent.
He swipes his thumb against his bottom lip, making me notice how kissable they are.
"I guess not." He catches me staring. "I think your friends are waving at you."
Two men stand beside them as they wave me over.
"I guess I'm coming with you." He says, confusing me.
"Why."
"Because I'm here with the two men talking to your friends."

How do you end up being a Professional Kisser for a living? 

Here's how.

- Get wrongfully (but gladly) evicted from you're shitty apartment.

- Publicly quit your job after you're handsy boss grabs you're ass for the hundredth time (and maybe publicly shame your now ex boss while you're at it) (And get a mini standing ovation from the staff and customers)

- Get "slightly" drunk and let a  painfully gorgeous man pay you $1000 in return for a kiss (And dry hump him while you're at it!) (Why not? You have no dignity left)

His eyes raked across my body stopping at my lips.His hot breath lingered on my neck as he started placing wet kisses across my collar bone.He gently nibbled on the spot where he was supposed to mark me and an unwanted moan escaped my lips making him chuckle.His hand was freely roaming across my upper thigh sending jolts of electricity throughout my body.

"Do you know what your playing at",a devious smirk covered his face.

His husky voice broke my trance,at this point I was sure my panties were dripping wet but I wouldn't let him win,I wouldn't let him see he had any type of control over me,there was no way I was losing.I was going to beat him at his own game.

Not wanting to lose I gently nibbled across his ear as my hand rested across his chest.I placed a lingering kiss on his jaw earning myself a groan,

"I think I have an idea".
*********
