The Alien Within

The Alien Within Grinwall is no ordinary country, and Riverdale Academy is no ordinary school. Both are covert battlegrounds where powerful beings, hidden identities, and secret alliances shape the destiny of those who inhabit them. Among these is Tessa Caldwell, a Kaelrian alien with unmatched speed and a mysterious, water-like fragrance. Adopted by her teacher, Ms. Caldwell, Tessa tries to blend in, but her distinct blue eyes betray her origins to those who know where to look. Her life changes when Adrian, a fellow Kaelrian with a fiery aura and god-like confidence, arrives at Riverdale. Their connection is undeniable, but it attracts dangerous attention. When Adrian’s alien nature is revealed during a dramatic hospital incident, chaos erupts. Government agents are dispatched, and Principal Hammond is forced to defend Riverdale’s reputation, as students react with fear, admiration, and jealousy. Bridget Mills, Tessa’s rival, mocks her defeat by claiming she lost to an "alien," while others, like Oxlade and Karl, recount how Adrian saved them. Yet the growing tension at Riverdale is only a glimpse of greater dangers. The SSG organization, a sinister force with eyes on Tessa and Adrian, is joined by an even darker figure: Ikehara, the shadow of the sun god, and a loyal follower of Rhemon, a devil with a grudge against Solaris the true sun god, whose plans threaten the survival of the Kaelrians loyal to Solaris and Lunara (moon goddess). In the midst of a high-stakes escape from SSG, Tessa and Adrian encounter the mysterious Rhemonic people. The Rhemonics, regarding Tessa as the successor to their moon goddess, worship her, forging a powerful alliance. This new found bond brings new challenges, including a dangerous quest to gather ingredients to awaken the Rhemonic people from their limited lands and blocked memories, a curse wrought by Rhemon—a devilish force once thought to be their salvation. As Rhemon rises, threatening to control both Kaelrians and Rhemonics alike, Tessa and Adrian’s mission becomes a race against time. Along the way, Tessa uncovers her heritage as the daughter of Lunara, the moon goddess, and Solaris, the sun god. Adrian, the son of Solaris and a maid, shares a complex, divine bond with Tessa, yet both are haunted by the legacies they inherit. Amidst this conflict, Ashley Duve, a woman who shares the bed and secrets with Rhemon, fools Tessa into believing she was the moon goddess, and she entered her conscious thought, gradually eroding it away while she appears helpful and wise and seemingly innocent, Ashley’s actions soon reveal her true agenda. She uses her powers to impersonate the moon goddess, taking over Tessa’s body, manipulating events to help Ikehara gather the ingredients needed to awaken Rhemon. As Ashley’s allegiance becomes clear, Tessa and Adrian realize they cannot trust anyone, not even those closest to them. Against overwhelming threats, Tessa and Adrian must fight not only to protect each other but also to save their world. Grappling with questions of identity, loyalty, and love, their journey unfolds across various chapters of betrayal, alliances, and epic confrontations with cosmic powers. Only by unlocking the potential within themselves can Tessa and Adrian hope to survive this battle, protecting the very essence of their people and the world.

Within Veiled Boundaries: Shroud Over Their Eyes.

If lives are single long threads for each soul being, thus a world is a web of threads created by soul energy, time spent and deliberate mark to be a legacy. Then it takes something signify wrong to break the web network that souls grounded those webs together. Every Universe has a back up system, workers who keep mortal threads blissfully within the natural order. Here in this broken universe these workers are uncovered and brought with the tangles. They weren't the only ones uncovered by the broken laws; other creatures, other being of other realms and even the very foundation gave way to other 'web' worlds. It takes the more frayed thread to repair the broken, forgotten and the ignored. It takes the foundational thread to be beyond repair to be the tool to make do with the mulch that is left behind. Not fixing, no. There isn't any fixing something that has moved on with what it became.

So I just finished reading 12 chapters of this novel, and honestly, it's pretty good. Keep in mind that the novel is actually kinda similar to a gag-novel, as in sometimes the jokes are so weird that it shouldn't be working within the confines of the world within the novel, but for the readers it works. idk how to explain it, but it is very funny. I'd recommend this novel.

Submitting a novel with 20,000 words or less usually meant a short story with between 20,000 to 30,000 words. The short story was a relatively short and concise literary genre.

I live by devouring evil

Hei Gu told me long ago that there are no demons or ghosts in this world. It was all because of those incidents where the truth could not be known, the unknown left behind by stowaways, and terrifying taboos that were infinitely magnified. "I didn't expect to survive!" "Feiran, don't think too much. You have to find those special items as soon as possible to extend your life. You only have 20 days left."

Dressed like a beloved pet

As the sous-chef of a five-star hotel, he was locked in a cold storage room and directly transmigrated, and he actually became the palace maid of Qifei? "I've been unlucky for more than twenty years!" Qin Luo cursed angrily. Even if she transmigrated, she would still be a lousy palace maid! And she's even a f * cking palace maid of Qifei!" At this moment, Qifei Wen Chuqiao passed by quietly. Qin Luo subconsciously blurted out,"Symbols…" Look at the quadrants?" "You also transmigrated here?" Wen Chuqiao's eyes were brimming with tears. "My family!" Qin Luo cried. Outsiders wondered why the Cold Palace was so lively every night, while Qin Luo and Wen Chuqiao were doubting their lives when they saw the jar of fine salt they had just brought back from the imperial kitchen. "This…" There was no technology to refine refined salt in ancient times..." "Then where did the refined salt come from?!!" Wen Chuqiao asked.
