《Hex [h.s]》Chapter Thirteen
Advertisement
My mom rushed into the living room, her eyes were wide and her hair was everywhere.
"Lucinda! Honey, are you hurt?" She asked worriedly. My eyes were still on the television, that is now advertising Oreos.
My breath was coming out in short, hard puffs due to my scary encounter with the television.
I was sure, I didn't just watch a scary movie, it was real. The girl was looking at me and she asked for help.
"Lucinda?"
I finally calmed down and looked at my mother, who was still staring at me like I was the most important thing in the world right now. Which I know, won't probably last until she knows the real reason why.
"I-I saw...."
"You saw what?"
"A-a ghost, on the tv." I stammered. Once I got those words out, I knew she won't believe me. And she'll probably never will.
I proved myself right when she merely just closed her eyes and sight. Tired of my frantic words and hauntings. "Lucinda, is this another one of your—"
"No!" I hissed out, annoyed to the moon and back. "Don't tell me that I imagined it cause I didn't!"
She narrowed her eyes at me and pointed an accusing finger at my face. "Lucy, don't talk to me like that." She scolds hotly. "Don't you dare talk to me in that attitude. I'm your mother!"
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms across my chest. "Well, I wouldn't if you would just believe me!"
"We aren't talking about that right now." She groaned before walking away. "You better behave."
"Mom? Mom, come back!" I called, but she didn't listen. Sighing angrily, I stood up and directly unplugged the t.v. Not caring if I broke it or what, and stomped upstairs.

When I reached my room, I closed the door furiously. I scream at the top of my lungs before falling to the floor and cried, tears streaming down my face.
Why wouldn't she believe me? Can't she even try to? Can't she see I'm being tormented?
"Why are you crying, whore?"
What the fuck? I'm a whore now?!
I looked up with my red teary eyes, to face the devil in front of me. He cocked his head to the side with an arrogant smirk.
"I asked you sweetheart, don't keep me waiting."
I narrowed my eyes at him before flipping him the middle finger. "Fuck you, asshole." I spatted and regretted it instantly as soon as my back hit the wall. I whimpered at the impact, the force knocking the wind out of me.
God, he's so strong.
His hands were placed at the sides of my head on the wall, our faces dangerously close. Nothing would bother me as long as they don't touch. His eyes looking into my eyes, into my soul. I could only look back. I know he doesn't even have soul, he's dead.
"Doesn't mean you're injured, I won't hesitate to hurt you." I heard him growl near my ear. "Why do you keep sassing me?"
"Doesn't mean I'm injured, my attitude changed." I manage to say, and he chuckles darkly.
"Lucinda, I admire your sassy attitude, but I'd rather have a non-existent attitude."
My eyes furrowed, not understanding what he just said. "W-what the hell do you mean?" I ask!and he bites my earlobe, making me let out a small squeak. Disgusted and afraid.
"You. Dead. Gone. Rings a bell?"
My heart is probably leaping out of my chest right now. "I-I still don't know what you mean." I lied when I perfectly knew what in the hell he means. "You see, I'm quite dum—"

He burries his head at the crook of my neck, making me shudder in fear. His cold breath, breathing down at my neck.
"You. I want your attitude gone." He whispers, and I felt his cold lips kissing my neck, making me gasp and push him away. Already disgusted and mortified on what he just attempted to do.
He threw his head back laughing, if he wasn't a ghost, I'll think he laughs like a little kid.
"Y-you monster." I whispered and he looks at me, his laughter dying down. This scene was very similar to ones I see in documentaries about wild life. A predator glaring at its prey.
"Oh love, I'm more than a monster." He snickered.
"Then what are you?" I asked filled of genuine curiosity. "Really."
"Me? I am the devil himself. I am Harry Styles." And he grabbed my injured arm, making me cry out in absolute pain.
"You're hurting me!" I cried, but it's useless. It was his goal after all, to make me suffer in pain. He's doing a good job at it now.
He kissed my cheek, which made my face pale in shock.
"And you, are mine."
I heard something snap and the world turned upside down and it became dark.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Forbidden Destiny
Two troubled teens, raised as siblings, try fighting their attraction to one another, while struggling to uncover the truly unexplainable and unimaginable reasons why their entire lives were a lie. Sky and Star were raised as brother and sister. As they got older they began to realize that there was much about them that was completely unexplainable and deliberately being hidden from them. Struggling with the feelings they were raised to believe they shouldn't have for one another, and all the pain that causes them, the two search desperately to uncover the truth about who... or what they really are. (This book is completed, so the plan was to post 1 chapter each day until the end) *This story does deal with difficult issues such as suicide, abuse and rape. Though I try to do so in the most realistic, sensitive and sympathetic way possible. So be advised that these themes are included in the book. And I hope you'll give it a chance nonetheless.* *Yet another disclaimer: Yes, there are teenagers involved in consensual sexual relationships with other teenagers in this book. Which is also a more than common occurence in hundreds of other books, shows and films, (not to mention a common occurence in real life, even though this is a fantasy story with characters who may or may not even be fully human), so if you have a problem with troubled teens behaving like troubled teens, then you probably shouldn't read this book.*

Absolute Power
A story about a teenager named Aarav trying to find his place in the world, while trying to make it a better place to live. NOTE: Please remember the word 'TRYING'. Guys I have edited the prologue and uploaded it after I uploaded the fourth chapter. Although the story hasn't changed much, I have tried to make it flow smoother. Added a few more details to the life of Aarav and stuff like that. Might wanna take a look at it. P.S. - Guys this is my first story. I am trying to learn English better but since I don't have enough money for books, courses or tutors, so your criticism and support will have to do. This is my first time, so please be gentle. P.P.S. - I selected harem in tags because generally people who like it tend to be more chill. Right now I have a rough sketch till the second volume and there are only two female leads.
