Black Warrior Cat

Malam ini adalah malam tahun baru, saat semua orang merayakan pergantian tahun, 2019 ke 2020. Namun di laut lepas, sekitar lima puluh kilometer dari pusat kota Metropolis, sebuah kapal nelayan kecil terombang-ambing di tengah badai dahsyat. Perahu kecil milik Norman Ferdian terangkat tinggi, dihantam gelombang hingga terbalik. Di atasnya ada dirinya dan putranya yang baru berusia empat belas tahun. Dua hari sebelumnya mereka berlayar menangkap ikan, berharap kembali tepat waktu untuk merayakan tahun baru, namun takdir berkata lain. Ketika Nathan tersadar, tubuhnya basah kuyup dan terasa berat. Ia terbaring di pasir dingin sebuah pantai asing. Di sampingnya terbujur kaku sosok ayahnya, Norman Ferdian. Tak lagi bernapas, tak lagi bergerak. Wajah Nathan memucat, tangannya gemetar memegang tubuh ayahnya. Tangisnya pecah, diiringi angin laut yang pekat. Di sekitar, ia melihat sebuah wilayah yang gelap, sunyi, liar, asing. Tidak ada tanda manusia, hanya ombak dan ranting patah dipukul angin. Ia tidak tahu di mana ia berada, dan ketidaktahuan itu membuatnya semakin takut. ... Lima tahun berlalu. Di lautan sekitar pulau terpencil itu, kapal nelayan perlahan mendekat. Asap tipis dari tengah pulau menarik perhatian mereka. Pulau itu dikenal sebagai pulau misterius yang berbahaya, katanya tidak berpenghuni, menyimpan banyak kisah orang hilang. Tiba-tiba seorang pemuda lusuh berlari menuruni bukit. Tubuhnya kurus namun berotot, pakaian compang-camping, rambut panjang dan janggut lebat, memegang busur sederhana. Ia menembakkan panah api ke tumpukan kayu kering, menyalakan api unggun besar sebagai sinyal bagi kapal. Para nelayan terkejut. Nathan menunjukkan kartu identitas ayahnya dan makam Norman di pinggir pantai. Mereka mengerti bocah ini bukan pembohong. Dengan hati berat, mereka mengajak Nathan naik kapal. Nathan menatap pulau itu, mata yang tidak lagi sama. Lima tahun di tempat ini bukan hanya membuatnya bertahan, tapi mengubahnya menjadi sesuatu yang berbeda. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada Nathan? Bagaimana ia bisa bertahan selama lima tahun di pulau liar itu?

Bunso sa magkapatid si Carmelita. Madali sana ang buhay niya dahil nakapagtapos na ng pag-aaral sila at tanggap na ang kanilang pamilya sa kanyang lolo at lola, pero habang na sa sinapupunan palang si Carmelita may marka na ng isang sumpa ang kanyang pagkatao. Sa edad na labing-walo tatalab ang sumpa. Sumpa na makakabago ng paningin ng ibang tao sa kanya at ang kanyang paningin sa sarili. "Carmelita, Ganyan na ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin? Do I look that desperate for a child?"

“We can’t.” I moaned into his mouth, my body response the opposite of my words. “I know.” Levi’s hands were already under my skirt, fingers tracing higher. “Nate’s right down the hall.” Even as I said it, I was arching into his touch. “Then you better stay quiet.” His mouth found that spot below my ear that made me gasp. “Can you do that for me?” I bit my lip. Shook my head. We both knew I was a screamer. He smiled against my skin. “Good girl.” I married the scariest man in New York three months ago. Nate Shen. Alpha heir to a werewolf crime empire. Cold as winter, brutal as hell, and he took me as his wife to settle my father’s debts. Our arrangement is simple: I give him an heir, he gives me a prison made of silk and threats. Problem is, I already slept with his brother. Levi was supposed to be a one-night thing. Some gorgeous stranger who made me forget my life was falling apart. I didn’t know he was Nate’s younger brother until I saw him standing at our wedding ceremony. Now Levi sneaks into my room when Nate’s working late. Nate’s getting possessive in ways that make my breath catch, his grip unforgiving as he f*cks me into our bed. And I’m losing my mind because I can’t stop thinking about both of them. Pack law says sleeping with your husband’s brother gets you killed. Slowly. So why can’t I stop? Turns out I’m greedier than I thought. Is it a crime to love both brothers?

She was born a bastard. They poured wine on her, laughed at her mother’s grave, and thought she’d stay broken. They were wrong. Ava Rosier took their scorn, their money, and their men, one ruthless billionaire, one mafia emperor, and one forbidden brother who shares her blood. Now the illegitimate daughter sits on the throne they built, crown forged from their tears, rose petals dipped in their blood. Three psychopaths kneel at her feet, obsessed, ruined, and willing to burn the world for her smile. She never chose between them. She chose everything. This is the rise of the Blackened Queen. And no one escapes her empire alive.

Tessa Smith was born into the perfect life—wealth, fame, and love. As the only child of a renowned business tycoon and his elegant housewife, her days were filled with luxury, private tutors, and the unwavering belief that she would someday inherit her father’s empire. Groomed to be graceful, admired by fans, and adored by the media, Tessa's world seemed idyllic—until it shattered in a single, tragic moment. One fateful evening, masked intruders breached their heavily guarded island manor. Her mother, Kiera, answering the door with love and peace in her heart, was murdered in cold blood. That night rewrote Tessa's future. No longer driven by wealth or societal expectations, she chose a path that no one—least of all her father—had prepared her for: justice. Despite opposition, Tessa joined the force, quickly rising through the ranks as a brilliant, fearless detective. She cracked impossible cases and earned her place in a male-dominated world. Alongside her partner and love interest, Caleb Milanowski—a sharp-minded officer from humble beginnings—the duo formed an unstoppable team, both in investigations and in life. But just when they thought they’d found peace, a final case emerged: expose a powerful, faceless kingpin who had evaded justice for decades. Through riddles and coded messages, the truth led Tessa to a devastating revelation—one that would test her loyalty, threaten her relationship, and force her to choose between love, legacy, and the truth. In a gripping battle between duty and blood, Tessa is thrust into the heart of betrayal. To restore peace to a nation, she must dismantle the criminal empire that may be rooted in her very own family. A tale of love, loss, vengeance, and truth—where every secret comes with a price.

On the day I'm about to quit the game, I see countless live comments flashing across my vision. "Yay! The male supporting lead is about to quit the game!" "Now, the male lead won't have to worry about getting exposed for using the male supporting lead's game account to get into online relationships with others!" "Our darling male lead is too smart, after all! Whenever he goes on dates, he often uses the voice chat function in the game. That's why the male supporting lead is still kept in the dark!" "Holy shit, Henry really is lucky!" "To think that he used Vincent's max-level account to flirt with the four richest female players on the server!" "Later at 2:00 pm, he'll be meeting his first date partner, Yvonne Johnson the cold and aloof campus belle, at Cosmic Coffee!" "Tomorrow, he'll be meeting up with the top assassin in-game! The day after that, he'll go on a date with the second-highest paying player of the game! Wow, his time management skills really are amazing!" The "Henry" whom the live comments are referring to is Henry Luster, my roommate. So, he's been flirting with four of the top-tier rich female players while impersonating me, huh? More live comments streak past my eyes at that moment. "Why isn't the male supporting lead leaving? Yvonne is already waiting for the male lead right now!" "This is their first romantic date as the leads of this story! I can't wait to watch it unfold!" As I turn to look at Henry, who's styling his hair before the mirror, I suddenly realize that I'm the supporting male lead whom the live comments are referring to. My lips curl into a small smile. Since Henry has been using my identity to become a virtual casanova, then it's not wrong of me to attend each date in person on his behalf, right?
