Behind D Mask

1TRINITY
In a world where power wears many faces, Selene Javis is about to discover that ambition and truth comes with a price and betrayal hides behind the most dangerous masks. After the unaccounted death of her grandfather,selene decided to move on from her depressed state and pursue her grandfather's dream.Little did she know the truth never wonders too far. Selene finally secures a coveted position at Skype under looming interests, an empire of wealth, influence, technology and secrets. She expects late nights works and unbearable demands, but wasn't expecting to be caught first by the attention of two powerful men—each masking a different kind of desire and personality. There’s Jacob Gerard, the charismatic CEO whose charm is as intoxicating as his ruthlessness. He plays with hearts like chess pieces, but Selene’s refusal to fall for him only fuels his pursuit. And then there’s Xander, a mysterious masked figure who watches from the shadows, his presence both unsettling and magnetic. Nobody knows where he comes from—or why his loyalty to Skype runs deeper than business. When Selene receives an anonymous gift—a delicate bracelet engraved with the haunting words “Strength needs no crown to be seen”—she’s drawn into a silent game of protection, possession, and power. Whispers surround her. Secrets tighten their grip. And the closer she gets to unraveling the truth, the deeper she’s pulled into a web of lies, betrayals, and forbidden attraction. As rivals circle and hidden agendas unfold, Selene must decide: Can she trust the masked stranger who lingers in the shadows of negativity? Or will the man who stands in the light to support her be the one to own her eventually? In a world where masks hide more than faces, Selene’s heart may be the ultimate prize—or the final casualty of unravelling the truth and disrupting the present.

Be Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse

I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?

From Freelancer to Celestial Monarch

What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world? Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed? Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him. Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices... Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!). [This story is a modern world LitRPG where I try and balance the real world, the other world and various character-development scenarios. The pace can be described as 'measured', as there is a lot of 'slice-of-life' style events to balance 'number-go-up' and Territory capture] What can you expect from this story? MC and side characters who are flawed and make mistakes, but ultimately grow and change, bettering themselves and the world around them. Yes, the MC does start off a bit weak and whiny, but he does get over it as the story progresses. It's a slow burn though. Likewise Harem and romance. it is most definitely harem, though again it's a slow burn and not easy to reach. There are some r18 scenes with them, but these don't happen until a fair way into the story. Real-world consequences of power. I'm trying to explore this slowly, so expect politics down the line. Base-building in both the real and the other world, growing power, money, influence and more. it's a slow burn but a focus. Cultivators, Faeries, Demons, Gods and more, though again, it takes a while for more and more of these to appear.
