12 Naga

娘が虐待され、生き埋めにされて、頭蓋骨が砕かれて、全身血まみれだった。 犯人の親たちは謝ることを拒んだ。「まだ子どもだ。何も分かっていない。 どうして他の女の子には手を出さなかったんだ？片方だけじゃ成り立たない。あなたの娘に原因があるんだ」 犯人は私に向かって変な顔をした。「ババア、俺はまだ12歳だ。法律は俺を裁けないぜ」 私は無表情のまま精神診断書を取り出した。 「法律はあなたを裁くことができないのか？奇遇だな……私もだ」

Surga yang Berdarah: Reinkarnasi Sang Kaisar Terbuang Di puncak Alam Sembilan Surga, Kaisar Langit Xue Feng pernah menjadi lambang keadilan—hingga pedang saudara-saudaranya sendiri menikam punggungnya. Dalam satu malam penuh darah dan api, surga yang harusnya suci runtuh; kepercayaan, persaudaraan, bahkan namanya sendiri dihapus dari sejarah. Sebelum napas terakhirnya padam, ia bersumpah: “Surga yang meneteskan darahku akan kembali menjerit dalam api dendam.” Namun kematian hanyalah gerbang baru. Arwah Xue Feng terperangkap di Alam Tiga Sunyi—dimensi terlarang tempat jiwa-jiwa pemberontak dibekukan selamanya—hingga kepingan Inti Jiwa yang tersebar memberinya kesempatan kedua. Ia bereinkarnasi sebagai Long Yichen, siluman naga hitam terbuang di dunia paling rendah, tanpa ingatan, tanpa kekuatan, hanya membawa luka emosional yang tak bisa dipadamkan. Dengan setiap fragmen Inti Jiwa yang ia kumpulkan kembali, Long Yichen mengingat pengkhianatan yang lebih keji: tujuh saudara kandungnya kini memegang tahta tujuh surga, sedangkan ibu kandungnya—yang tak pernah ia kenal—menjadi otak di balik rencana pemusnahannya. Menyelinap dari surga ke surga, ia harus memilih: apakah dia akan membalaskan dendam seribu kali lipat, ataukah menembus rahasia keberadaannya sendiri dan menyelamatkan surga yang kini dipenuhi darah? Perjalanan balas dendam ini bukan hanya tentang kekuasaan, melainkan tentang siapa yang berhak menentukan takdir langit. Karena mati adalah anugerah, tetapi tetap hidup dalam kenangan kebencian adalah kutuk yang harus dipecahkan… sebelum seluruh Alam Sembilan Surga benar-benar tenggelam dalam surga yang berdarah.

Samantha had been with her husband Alex for 12 long years, dutifully raising his child from a previous relationship. Yet as the years dragged on, the deep resentment she felt could no longer be ignored. Alex took her endless sacrifices for granted, never expressing an ounce of appreciation for all she did to keep their family afloat. His domineering mother only fanned the flames of drama, inserting herself into every aspect of their lives. And their once passionate marriage had become a sexless, loveless obligation. Samantha's only solace was her job at the local hardware store, a seeming world away from the suffocating doldrums of her home life. It was there that she met Jack, her new boss - a charismatic man whose radiant charm and flirtations slowly but surely began chipping away at Samantha's resolve. At first, she dismissed the growing attraction as a harmless crush. But as the weeks ticked by, the chemistry between them became undeniable, an all-consuming force that made her feel truly alive for the first time in years. One fateful night, passion overcame reason, and Samantha surrendered to her desires in Jack's arms. The guilt was searing, but it paled in comparison to the euphoria of being wanted, needed, desired again. Thus began a torrid affair, one built on lies and deception as they stole away for clandestine rendezvous. Samantha was playing with fire, but she couldn't bring herself to stop.

Before the engagement ceremony takes place, my fiance, Vincenzo Rizzi, makes a formal announcement on the deck of a cargo ship docked at the new harbor. Apparently, my younger stepsister, Sofia Russo, will become his legitimate wife. Vincenzo has an arm wrapped around Sofia's waist. As they stand beneath the spotlight, Vincenzo smiles tenderly at her. "According to the mafioso's rules, only those who have received the core elders' acknowledgment shall become the Madre of the family. Others are nothing but lovers and mistresses." Under the family elders' blessings, Vincenzo gives Sofia a black diamond necklace. Then, they exchange vows with each other and are now engaged. I just watch the ceremony take place quietly. Then, I make an appointment to have an abortion. I have loved Vincenzo since I was 16 years old. I'm 28 years old now, meaning I've been in love with him for 12 years. Yet, Sofia is the only one he has ever loved. In that case, I choose to let go of him once and for all. After that, I travel to a hidden safehouse located in Sombral. All I've left for Vincenzo is a letter stating the termination of our engagement and a farewell gift. But the man, who has never shown concern toward me this whole time, ends up breaking down to the point he doesn't even have the mood to deal with his family matters.

My girlfriend Chloe Bennett's childhood buddy, Daniel Miller, binds himself to a transfer system. Everything he eats gets sent straight into my stomach. He creates a live stream channel and eats nonstop for 12 hours a day to rake in money. Meanwhile, I end up in the ER with acute pancreatitis. I try to explain everything to Chloe, but she just looks at me like I've lost my mind. "How could something that ridiculous exist? If food could magically transfer, nobody would starve in the world. You're just jealous he's making money from streaming." Afterward, Daniel's every live stream triggers another pancreatitis episode, sending me back to the ER until I'm barely holding on. I get tested, but the doctors can't figure out what's wrong. They even want to admit me to psych. Later, in a desperate bid to outdo another streamer, Daniel downs ten pounds of mashed potatoes at once. The overload destroys my spleen and stomach, causing massive internal bleeding that kills me. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day of Daniel's very first live stream. This time, I rush out and order 20 takeout dishes before him. "This time, I'm eating first."

Many times I have seen people struggling to talk with strangers or in public places. This was due to anxiety and nervousness that happens unintentionally in our body. We can’t control them but have to overcome them. I came across the word “Glossophobia” in 2014 when I was working on how to overcome stage fears. I have seen my friends and myself struggling to talk with strangers or to speak in public. There are cases where I have acted speechless. This is where the idea arrived and I have created a character “Abhirath Srivastav” who cannot talk with strangers or in public places due to a phobia called “Glossophobia”. The Character Abirath Srivastav does not represent any real life personality, it is solely of my imagination. The story “ The only hope” is a love story set in the style of 1994. The story is about an orphan boy who suffers from glossophobia; he can't talk to strangers or in public places. He finds it hard to stay in an orphanage and escapes to find a better place in his life. He meets a Christian girl in an unknown village and becomes her best friend. He speaks to her, but not to any other villagers. Things are not, however, what was expected. Half of the villagers migrate to another place for work, and they take the boy with them. The boy has to leave his favourite place and his only best friend. After 12 years, however, he meets her and here how the story takes its turn.

"Mahalaga sa akin, of course! At bakit ba gusto mo iyon?" tanong naman niya. "Ako lang dapat magtatanong," angal naman nito. "Bakit nga mahalaga?" "Regalo sa akin ng kuya mo iyon noong intern pa lang ako at ikaw na ang nagsabi na kapag regalo dapat iniingatan. Kaya ibalik mo sa akin ang opisina ko!" "Paano ba iyan? I hate to think that it's a gift from Jaxon, you're not going to like what I'm going to ask for." Nainis siya pero pinili niyang kumalma. "Then tell me, gagawin ko." "You sure?" "Why not? As long as hindi naman nakakamatay yan. Hindi mo naman ako uutusan na uminom ng lason o púmàtày ng pasyente di ba?" Tumaas ang sulok ng labi nito. "Okay...then take off your panty and give it to me." Napanganga siya. "W-What?"
