Love at First Lie, Chapter One
As a woman of learning, Kaitlyn had never believed in the supernatural. After all, there is no such thing as magic - no ghosts, no werewolves, no vampires, and while there may once have been knights in shining armor, there have never been dragons to slay - and she flat out refused to be a damsel in distress.

Friend For Ever
It has been eight years since I lost my closest friend, Nurul Anam Babu. Babu and I shared everything. We grew up in the same neighborhood, studied together, played cricket till sunset, and even dreamed of building a future side by side. He wasn’t just my friend — he was like a brother to me. When he passed away suddenly in a tragic accident, it felt as if a piece of my soul had been torn away. The world kept moving, but for me, time had frozen in that one painful moment.

"Rebel, Reflect, Rise.". AI-Generated.
I didn’t plan to end up deep in the jungles of Papua. In fact, after graduating high school, all I wanted was to be a college student like most of my friends. I tried my luck at several state universities in my city, hoping one of them would take me in. None did. That’s when fate—in the form of a church mission worker (or “Pastor,” as people called him)—stepped in and offered me something... different. “Want to be a young teacher in the middle of nowhere?” he asked casually. I said yes, like someone who thinks hiking means walking to the mall.

The Pale Thorn Pact – Part 1
The wind whispered down the mountain pass like it carried secrets. Cold ones. Ones that lingered in your bones long after the snow stopped falling. Vaelin rode in silence, his dark cloak trailing behind him like a shadow unbroken by time. The trail before them twisted through a stretch of pale, frozen forest where even the trees looked afraid—limbs heavy with snow, branches bent low as though bowing beneath unseen weight.
