《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
Inside the club,the lous music was reverbating and was a shocking contrast to the silence outside.Two men were sitting upstairs in the V.V.I.P room and observing the gyrating bodies downstairs.Just then,a woman in a tasteful but short designer dress came into the room and sat on the lap of one man while handing a glass of whiskey to the other.The other man in the sut just nodded politely and taking the whiskey took a sip from the glass.The atmosphere upstairts was also quiet as the noise was blocked out.The two men were a part of the super rich and super importantpeople of Country A.The fact that they had chosen to come into the club was enough for the owners of the club to thank their lucky stars.Just then the man in the black suit was sipping his whiskey leisurely,caught sight of the beautiful women entering the club.The VVIP room they were currently in was designed in such a way that everything below was visible to those in the room.The haute couture black suit could not suppredd his primitive aura.Currently the man looked like a hunter who had just spotted his prey.His eyes followed the two women as they were escorted to a table on the far end of the dance table where a young boy was sitting drinking cocktails with some of his friends.The man's sharp eyes recognized the man as the Second Qi.Hie eyebrows rose in question and he continued to eye his prey.
Second Qi seemingly introduced the women to his friends once they were seated at the table.the woman in the skirt seemed friendly and immediately started talking to people around the table..But she was not the one he was interested in.The cave man in his wanted to possess the woman in the shorts and uncover her delicate body.He observed her sit quietly and observe the dance floor.He continued to watch the woman as she sometimes stayed still and sometimes swayed to the music playing.She occssionally checked her phone as if waiting for something but then looked up disappointed.His face formed a little smirk.The only result she was getting was going to be from him.Getting up from his seat,he moved out of the VVIP room leaving the couple who was making out behind him.He had decided to go to the VIP rooms for now...That was usually where these young good for nothing brats held their parties...

As the man had predicted,Qi Cheng soon his friends to the VIP rooms.Hs objective was to two fold.He wanted to impress Alicia with his wealth as well as bring them to his territory to protect them from whatever foul play his cousin had concocted.
Alicia was feeling a bit antsy.Ryu had yet to reply to her message and she was really uncomfortable with the club scene.The only reason she could justify to herself was that she somehow felt that it was important for her to be here tonight.But she still felt uncomfortable as if some thing was following her.She kept glancing around to see if someone was observing them..She followed the rowdy people to the VIP rooms and found herself a corner to sit.The term 'rooms' was relative.The only difference in this floor and the one downstairs was that women here were more expensively and skimpily dressed.There were small cabin like tables which were called rooms.The alcohol was freely flowing and the debauchery was much more carefree.Alicia shook her head at the predicament she had placed herself in.As if all this was not enough to make her regret,she spotted the stupid senior girl from last time making way towards their table.At this moment,Qi Cheng,who had also been trying to get Alicia's attention followed her gaze and saw his smiling cousin making her way towards them.Seeing her smile gave him the shudders and he almost had the urge to pick Alicia and Onita and run away.
Just then Onita was asked by someone to dance and she happily agreed.As Janet reached the table,Alicia checked the time surreptitiously and felt her breath of relief pass through her.She had promised Onita an hour and already half an hour had passed.She would be leaving this icky pkace soon enough.

Janet came to the table,just then and said in a sachherine sweet voice,"What a co incidence.My cousin is here as well..and jut with the person I have been wanting to meet..."She then proceeded to hug Qi Cheng who accepted the hug a bit resentfully as his his eyes darted to where Alicia was sitting.
Alicia's eyes had narrowed and her aura had become colder when she heard the word 'cousin'.Her hands fisted under the table and she messaged Onita an SOS.She had decided with Onita just before coming that they would send an SMS for help if there was something even more dangerous.But Onita,who was on the dance floor,had left her purse on the table and was oblivious to the danger that had just presented itself.
After hugging Qi Cheng,Janet turned towards her target and raised her brown in question as if waiting for Alicia to introduce herself.Alicia refused to give in and continued to sip her ice tea ignoring Janet's stare.TO diffuse the stuation,Qi cheng introduced Alicia as his new friend and classmate and Janet as his distant cousin.The two women merely stared at each other and then said nothing.The others at the table also perceived the awkwardness and tried to excuse themselves.To distract the two women,Qi Cheng gestured to one of his lackeys to ask Janet to dance while he asked Alicia to the dance floor,to which she agreed.
Janet also accepted the dance partner but just as Alicia left,Janet slipped a little powder from her ring into Alicia's drink..

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.
