Born with a mark that was never intended…

Gifted with intelligence and skills far more advanced than her peers. Elsa Morgan didn’t experience the normal childhood that everyone had.

Always been haunted by her nightmares and by unexplainable events since she was young. Elsa became a doctor to find answers.

Destined to bear sufferings and do what is right for his people…

Chris Jorgensen was bound to the woman he had not met yet and marked without knowing what he had done. In order to lead his kingdom to glory and victory, he must find her first no matter what it takes, even if it means crossing the other world.

Two worlds apart that defy what is the norm in their worlds. Brought together by the invisible tie that binds them together. Or is it true love that defies all reasons?

When accidents turn out to be fate in disguise, will they be able to reject the strong pull towards the person who turned their whole world and everything they worked hard for upside down?

“What the hell! I told you not to move!” Elsa shouted while running back to the man, who lifted his head and smirked at her.

Elsa screamed when the naked man abruptly pulled her onto his lap and started sniffing her all over her body, especially on her chest, hair, and neck. She heard her dogs growl and come closer to the man but quickly calmed down when he gave them a quick glance, and it absolutely surprised her.

“What are you doing!” Elsa pushed the naked man on the chest for she could feel him hard down there and it was making her really uncomfortable.

“Your smell… Mmm… Lavender and blueberry… God, you smell divine…” The man casually said before burying his face in her neck and sniffing her hard.

“You pervert!” With all her strength, Elsa pushed him once again and slapped him so hard that she also hurt her palm, making his head turn to the side on impact. She briskly stood up and shouted, “Nile, tackle! Girls guard!”

In a swift move, Nile jumped to the naked man tackling and pushing him to the ground while Ciel, Gaia, and Nuri surrounded him, not removing their gaze from him while growling and showing their sharp teeth and fangs.

But then a more powerful force is pulling her eyes beyond the man’s buff chest and deep in her mind she convinced herself that she would do this because she is a doctor and he is her patient– an injured patient, she reminded herself. She would look at him only to see the extent of his injuries and nothing more. She is a doctor… A licensed professional for God’s sake!

‘How can I buckle him up if it’s on the way of the strap? Should I move it to the side?’ Elsa was having a battle in her head ultimately muddled about whether she would touch it or not. From the way he looks, she is sure that he is heavy and she must use the straps properly to be able to securely drag him to her car for both their safety.

********

Chris pretended to be sleeping while he let himself heal, or so he thought. The sedative took a while to have an effect on him. But eventually, he dozed off and was unconscious for real this time.

He opened his eyes and saw white walls and someone was holding his right hand. He sat up and saw the red-haired woman’s hand on top of his while her wrist was glowing.

Chris’ eyes widened, he held his shoulder and shook her up, “Wake up! There’s a glowing mark on your wrist!” But no matter how hard he wakes her up, she’s not opening her eyes.

“You are mine, Elsa. And I am yours.” Chris moved his face closer to hers and planted a soft gentle kiss on her lips.

“Whoever you are, Elsa, I will protect you. Even if it’s from the man that you call Dad.” Chris whispered as if someone would hear him.

Andrew’s life switches from perfect to chaotic as he learns more about himself, his powers, the differences between friend and foe, and—well—love, as Andrew himself starts to fall in love with Sebastian while also searching for his purpose—his reason to exist. <<less

<I've recently received some feedback (which I agree with) on several negative aspects of my novel which has barely started. Because of this, I'll be taking a week or two off to rethink and rewrite my novel (including the "game" mechanics). Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for reading!>... more>>

Ever feel that life hasn’t been very fair to you and wish that life could just hand over some random cheats to compensate for it?
It’d be oddly specific if you did and our protagonist didn’t either, yet that’s exactly what he got.

After dying and returning to life in another world, our Protanogist goes through the motions of acquiring his cheats, making some friends, and avoiding making enemies or standing out too much because he’s had enough trouble for one lifetime.

Now you’d think that in a world where the theme is War and Dominance that it’d be a terrible idea, but don’t forget the Title! Our Protanigist has The Right to Choose.

So come join our Potatonist whose name you won't even learn for some dozens of Chapters in this brand new world I built but without the Truck, the Harem or Smartphones.

Author’s Note

This novel is mainly meant as a Light Light Novel with a dash of excitement from the War theme and as much comedy as I can humanly squeeze out of myself so don’t expect too much mystery, tragedy, or anger-inducing young masters and villains lining up to get face-slapped.

The real “meat” of the story begins from Chapter 5 onwards when the Simulator officially begins. Prior to that, the aim is mainly to provide some background to the Reader as well as to provide a sneak peak into the writing style of the Author.

That being said, this is actually the first novel I’m writing so please feel free to provide any feedback and I hope that you all enjoy it! <<less

Living in a world wracked by constant storms, Theo Serrano encounters an abandoned Redever, commonly known as a succubus, in the streets, and immediately tries to offer her safety. This single act of kindness forever alters the course of young Theo's life. Sadly, it isn't long before Lorelei is discovered, and dragged away, while Theo could do nothing but watch helplessly.... more>>

Now an adult, and attending university, Theo desires to leave the canyon city of Voxsturm, and discover the lost relics of the old world. While mankind is still recovering from the last Redever war, tensions remain high among humans and the succubi. While other Demi-humans have it easier, Redevers have only just started re-integrating into human society.

Stumbling upon a Redever student, Theo can't help but feel like he's seen her before. Little does he know, Lorelei has been searching for him ever since escaping from the Redever army, and has never forgotten her first love. If only she could rise above her own insecurities, and summon the courage to openly speak to him.

As Theo struggles to find a way to leave Voxsturm, and Lorelei recovers from her previous trauma's, the world around them seems to change. The winds of magic have grown worse with each passing year, and whispers of an old power, the sages, continue to spread.

This is a world where science and magic both exist, and terrible storms confine much of humanity into cramped cities where magical barriers could be raised. While the first chapter includes a younger Theo and Lorelei, all characters following that chapter are 18 years, or older. Also, while not strictly an 'Adult' story, there will be sexually explicit themes. <<less

One day, a day like any other, the world collapsed.

May the advent of The First ring out across the entire world, for the bringer of fantasy has arrived.
The Bleeding Crown shall have a new member soon.

Once upon a time, in a world that seemed as if it were crafted by the hands of the divine, a boy named Najin lived a seemingly ordinary life. That was until he lost the love of his life, and the earth lost its people in a tragic incident that devastated everything. The very fabric of the earth was torn apart, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.
The once peaceful and harmonious world was shattered when the gods, the very deities that were supposed to bring order and justice to the world, unleashed a holy war that would forever change everything. Their motives were driven by fear, fear of a prophecy that spoke of... more>> an entity that did not belong in this world, "La Opresora de La Vida," a being that was said to bring doom and destruction. To keep track of this prophecy, the gods created four archangels, who were forced to watch over humanity like hawks.

But Najin could not stand the injustice and asked a question that was burning within his soul.

"Where is the punishment for evil?

Who has it and grants access?"

He could not fathom why the gods, in which he once believed, were allowed to sin and commit atrocities. The rage and hatred that simmered within him grew with every passing day, and he could not give up his thirst for revenge.

The world that once seemed to be crafted by the hands of the divine was now a desolate wasteland, and Najin's heart was consumed by a darkness that was impossible to extinguish. He could not understand why the gods he once worshipped had turned against him and his people. His sorrow and despair were overwhelming, and the hatred he harbored for the gods was all-consuming. <<less
