Witch's Adventure.

Sir_Traverse
Magic is easy! You just have to get your soul vibrating at the right frequency, isn't it? Don't forget the gestures for the spells! But beware... every power has its price, and though we may not know it at first, every payment we make is recorded, and one day we will have to pay our debts. Séraphine Rohan is a witch, perhaps something special in this world, but not even she would dare to fight against the increasingly powerful firearms. Neon lights, soft music and extravagant living! Prosperity is everywhere in this world where idealism meets materialism and mysticism meets science. Where gangsters can be more dangerous than a werewolf and fairy dust is used as a recreational substance. But what lies beneath this veil of glamour, wealth and colorful lights? The decadence of humanity is not only material, but also spiritual, and sometimes... this is reflected in our surroundings more than we think. Join Séraphine Rohan as she explores this world full of interesting creatures, solves cases as a detective and embarks on various adventures driven by money, or maybe it's those ideals she doesn't want to talk about? All this while reality becomes more and more confusing and incomprehensible before her eyes. By the way, how about toasting this psychedelic story with a glass of wine? ------------------------ Cover made by TheAnPlayer2. English is my second language and I'm using Grammarly for thoses mistakes I didn't see, so, if you notice one, comment, please! I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

The woman behind closed doors

She was never meant to be more than a secret. But now, she’s the one thing he can’t let go. Alessandro DeLuca is a ruthless mafia boss—married, powerful, and untouchable. His life is built on control, deception, and carefully guarded secrets. He’s married to Emilia not because of love but to disguise underneath her father to hide his dirty job, their marriage meant nothing. Not until one reckless night changes everything. Camila Rivera, a young, vibrant woman with fire in her eyes, with a passion of drawing, becomes his greatest weakness. Their affair was supposed to be meaningless—a stolen moment in the dark. But Camila is more than just his mistress. She carries his child. Twice. For years, she has lived in the shadows, hidden away like a dirty secret while Alessandro parades his wife to the world. He gives her everything—money, luxury, empty promises—everything except the one thing she truly wants: to be his. As the weight of secrecy and heartbreak pushes Camila to the edge, she realizes she can’t keep living like this. She was never meant to be his second choice. And when she threatens to walk away, Alessandro faces the one thing he never expected—the fear of losing her forever. Now, the man who swore he would never love is ready to burn the world down to keep her. But will she still be waiting when he finally decides to claim her? I didn’t hear the door open. I just felt it—the shift in the air, the way the atmosphere thickened with heat and tension. The way my skin prickled before I even turned. Alessandro. His name wasn’t spoken, but it echoed in my chest like a warning. My fingers curled tighter around the wine glass as I stood in front of the mirror, “You shouldn’t be here,” I said, my voice low, traitorous, trembling. He didn’t respond. Just stepped closer. And with every inch, my resolve cracked. “I told you I was done,” I said again, this time louder, stronger—even if I was lying to both of us. “I’m not your plaything. Not your secret.” Then I felt it—his fingers, brushing the strap of my dress. The slow slide of silk down my skin. The heat of his breath at my neck. “Then why,” he murmured, his voice like smoke, “do you always leave the door unlocked for me?” I turned to face him, heart pounding so hard it hurt. “Because I’m weak,” I snapped, emotion burning behind my eyes. “Because every time you touch me, I forget how to hate you.” His hand came up to cradle my jaw, tilting my face up to meet his. His eyes were stormy, unreadable, as if he didn’t know whether to kiss me or disappear. “I never asked you to hate me,” he said softly. “I only asked you to be mine.” The words cut deeper than I expected. Tears welled, hot and unrelenting. “But I’m not yours. Not really. I never was.” He came closer. I should’ve stepped back. Should’ve ended it. But I didn’t. “Then tell me to leave,” he whispered. “Right now. Tell me, and I swear—I’ll walk away.” Silence wrapped around us like a vice. My lips parted. But the words never came. Because no matter how many promises he broke, I still wanted him to stay.

Great Ascension Code

With her sitting on me, I could feel her thighs, so soft and I didn't want her off of me but this was not the time for that. “I wouldn't betray you like this Jennifer, you know this” I said, shifting my gaze from her thighs to her eyes. “You were with Renn all along.” She said as she drew a blade to my neck. “You can't tell me you don't have a hand in this” At that moment, there was nothing I could say to please the beast who had me in chokehold. I just laid there and prayed for a miracle. —------------------------- In a world where every player controls five versatile avatars, Contrario Williams is cursed with just one avatar. Mocked, outclassed, and labelled “One-slot player,” Contrario enters Irish Valley, a faction known for chewing up the weak. But when his last avatar, named Stray, really bonds with him, everything begins to change. What starts as a desperate struggle to survive quickly grows into a chaotic rise through ranked raids, underground brawls, and deadly bounty missions. With 290 days until a tournament that will shake the game world, Contrario is thrown into brutal training simulations, tangled love interests, and savage battles with elite bounty hunters and mercenaries like the infamous Kyra and Axel. Killer twins who fight for who can pay them the most, and who just might hold the key to Contrario's haunted past. But in a world built on stats, politics, and power, what happens when the most underestimated player becomes the most unpredictable? How would Contrario handle opening up to people who later betray him? And how far will Contrario go to prove that one slot is all he needs?
