Masterpiece In Shadow Slave

Supe_5842
The name Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a burden spoken in a thousand different tones. Some whisper it with a trembling fear that chills the air. Others spit it out with an envy that tastes like poison. Many curse him in fits of blind anger. Yet, in the long history of his existence, no soul has ever called out to him with true warmth unless they had a reason to use him. He wants to change. He craves the ability to cry until his chest aches, to laugh until he forgets his past, and to feel a spark of genuine anger like a normal person. He does not want to remain a hollow shell. He is the finished masterpiece of a legacy he utterly despises. Just as he had touched the edges of peace during his year at ANHS, the world shifted. Just as his life began to bleed into color, washing away the blinding, sterile white, it was stolen. Just like that. He fell into a deep unconsciousness, and when his eyes opened, he was trapped once more by everything he tried to escape. He woke up surrounded by a nightmare where winning is the only metric of survival. In this place, your methods are irrelevant and your morality is a liability. He is back in a cycle of kill or be killed. He does not want this. He does not want to become the monster he spent his freedom trying to bury. He just needed silence. He just needed peace. Yet, despite the loathing in his heart, he cannot stop himself from playing this game of death. He calculates. He manipulates. He destroys. With every passing second, he loses a fragment of the person he hoped to become. He knows his ending is fated to be a tragedy written in cold blood. I welcome you to a journey where the Masterpiece of the White Room tries to find his own happiness within the suffocating darkness of Shadow Slave. Try is a very strong word for a man already dead inside. *** Classroom of the Elite belongs to Kinugasa Shadow Slave belongs to Guilty3

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

272 Days Until...

Existence has already ended once. By something that was not even "something" in any ordinary sense. Unseen, unfelt, and forever forgotten. But what comes after absolute nulity? Affirmation. Endless, reasonless affirmation. An overflowing plenitude that refuses silence. After recreating existence, the Plenitude Without Reason chose once more to participate. For participation is the only way to remain as something without becoming everything. From that Will, Anathasia was born. - Kyle. The person she stayed with through everything. The one who remained by her side as she moved through life... and everything beyond it. After college, they continue living together. Nothing really changes on the surface. But at the same time, things are changing. Not just on Earth, but across realities completely separate from the one they've always known. Old resentments begin to surface. Questions start forming. About meaning, about purpose... about what's left when power stops mattering. Now, somewhere between raising daughters and just trying to live normally, they find themselves dealing with things that don't really have simple answers. The consequences of actions taken eons before they even met. The weight of roles they were never meant to fully understand. And beyond even that, The existence of an Original Creator. The Author... trying to move on from controlling everything. How will the Supreme Being herself... and the one who stands beside her... deal with all of this? The mundane. And the things that go far beyond reality itself? [DISCLAIMER] This is a work of fiction set in a version of modern-day Earth. While real-world locations, historical events, cultures, and mythologies may be referenced, they are depicted in a fictionalized manner for storytelling purposes. All characters, interpretations, and narratives are products of my imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, beyond historical figures, is purely coincidental.
