"Andrew, you do not have to be afraid and pressured. It is okay if you did not become the next emperor." She tried to reassure him that she will not blame him if he could never become the emperor. She will stay with him even if he is the poorest man in the world! She wants her husband and his undivided love!
"You do not understand, Beatrix! I need to win! I want to become the emperor! I cannot lose to Anders!" He lost his usual cool temper. "Listen to me, Beatrix... I have to do this! You need to trust me!" He coaxed her into supporting him.
"I am sorry, Andrew! I cannot lie to myself! I do not want you to have other women!"
She knew that he is not going to keep his promise anymore and there is nothing she could do anymore as he left her there alone and weeping in her bed. She was forced to accept the truth that another batch of women will enter his harem!
He still treated her above all other women in his harem but she could never fully accept in her heart that every night, he will visit her first and favor her once but after that, he will leave her and visit another woman and stay there! It became worse when he was able to sit on the throne. More women entered the palace and became his women. He still spends more time with her and visits her every night first but will end up in another woman's arms after that. He still whispers words of love to her like "I truly love you", "You are the only one in my heart", "You are my empress now and in the next lives" and other similar sentences that make no sense to her now because the sweet turns into sour, sour turns into salty, salty became bitter in her heart!

She dare not believe in his promises and words anymore! Every time she hears words similar to it from him, she would like to spit on his face, punch him on his face, kick him where it hurts the most and throw him curses and insulting words but she could not! How could the empress, the role model of all women, the mother of the whole empire do something like that? She wants to chop them to pieces and vent her anger but she cannot! She can only smile on the outside and cry alone in her bed! She felt her life is meaningless! She needs to fight other women directly and usually covertly. It was worst when she suffered from three consecutive miscarriages and her last miscarriage resulted in her being unable to get pregnant anymore! She cried so hard when the head imperial physician told her the truth! She will never be a mother anymore! Emperor Andrew solely stayed with her for two weeks after that incident and tried to comfort her but it was never enough!
Andrew, you and your women killed my children! I hate all of you!!!
She thought as her heart turned from red to black! She vowed to avenge herself and her unborn child! When she found out who is the main culprit and the accomplishes of the scheme, she cruelly killed them one by one! She made them taste the most painful and cruel torture methods! She made them die in the most horrifying and strange methods while she is watching and smiling contentedly! She never winced or looked away while seeing those things! It seems that her heart did not exist anymore! She went totally mad and already forgot her humanity!
Their cruel and strange deaths became a sensation in the whole empire due to their special identities so the hunting of the heartless and ruthless murderer began! Emperor Andrew knew about the harem fights but he did not expect that his gentle empress will be crazy and mad enough to kill her enemies and leave behind some evidence. He tried to cover up everything but everything was still traced back to her so he does not have a choice but to give the death penalty. He decreed that she will die through poisoned wine, he cannot bear to hang her or behead her. Even though she is imprisoned awaiting her execution, he arranged for her to be treated as empress and would not suffer until that day.

Many people became angry when they knew about it and concluded that she is a real femme fatale and her empress position must be taken away but they could not shake the Emperor's will. He insisted that she will pay for her crimes but she will die as his empress and that is final! They could not go against the emperor this time because his position and power is stable now.
A day before her execution, Prince Anders visited her in prison...
"Beatrix, let me help you. How could he treat you like this? He promised that he will love and take care of you but what happened now? If you want, I can get you out of here. I still love you, Beatrix. We could run away and leave all of this behind..." Prince Anders expressed his emotions.

8 156A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

Brought to you by 2 lazy idiots comes a story so whimsical that it literally took the authors a minute and a half to decide if they were gonna write it or not. Discover the wonders of sarcastic comments and run on sentence as a German and an American struggle to write a story with a bit of depth. Watch as the MC says retarded things because we couldn't think of anything for him to say. Actual description: A story about a guy who dies in a way so cliche its almost not cliche at all. Meets an arrogant god and is reincarnated as his angel. This story is somewhat of a comedy however it has a serious vibe to it.

T.W for the entire story violence and gay shitVirgilBroken was probably the best way to describe him, during the day at least. At night he was the one doing the breaking.LoganHe was the biggest nerd at school and although he didn't fully understand emotions he knew his best/only friend Virgil was hiding something and he was going to figure out what.PattonEveryone's best friend but he was hiding something big. RomanHe may or may not admire Virgil but he can't stand how secretive the kid is, he is determined to find out what is up with him. For better or for worse.Together they could be an amazing team, the only problem is that sometimes it is too hard to let someone in even if they are trying to save you.
