Cid Kagenou Shadow

Imagine being murdered by the very woman meant to protect you, your own grandmother, consumed by her lust for power. It sounds unreal, doesn’t it? But that has been my reality. This is my seventh life, seven times I have been reborn, and seven times I have died before the age of eighteen. At only five years old, I hid in a cupboard and watched through a crack as my grandmother, Lunice, gave the order that slaughtered my brothers, the royal princes of Ahenil, after news came that my father, King Ahenos, had been killed in battle. To secure her throne, she commanded the execution of every male in the royal bloodline. My mother’s maid, Martha, risked everything to smuggle me away. She raised me like her own, alongside her daughter Jane, the girl who became my light, and later, the love of my last life. But no matter where I ran or how I lived, fate found me. In each of my six past lives, my grandmother’s shadow hunted me down, ending me at eighteen. Sometimes she killed Jane too. Sometimes even Martha. Each death left me broken, yet each rebirth filled me with memories, scars, and a growing resolve. Now, in this seventh, I am no longer the helpless boy cowering behind a cupboard’s door. I carry the wisdom of six lives, the pain of countless betrayals, and the fire of vengeance that will not be quenched. This time, I will reclaim my throne. This time, I will protect those I love. And when October comes, the cursed month of my death, the world will remember my name. I am the rightful heir, the cursed prince reborn. And this time… I will defy fate itself.

When a young girl named **Emilia** moves to an isolated, fog-drenched city in search of a fresh start, she quickly discovers that something is terribly wrong. The streets echo with silence, residents vanish without a trace, and time itself begins to twist and collapse. As doors appear in places they shouldn’t, and her own reflection begins acting on its own, Emilia realizes she’s trapped in a place that is not just haunted — it’s alive. Each chapter peels back a new layer of horror: shadowy watchers, eerie apparitions, underground tunnels, and ghostly echoes of past inhabitants. But the real terror lies within — the city seems to feed on fear, loneliness, and the feeling of failure. It reflects Emilia’s own anxieties back at her, warping her reality into a trial of the soul. As she searches for meaning, and later for escape, Emilia uncovers the city’s sinister purpose: it traps those most vulnerable and forces them to confront their darkest selves. With the help of other survivors — some real, some echoes — she must navigate psychological mazes and make impossible choices to survive. But survival isn't enough. Emilia must transform — not by escaping her fear, but by embracing it. In doing so, she becomes something more than a victim of the city. She becomes a guide, a witness, and eventually, a keeper of the door. *Trapped in the Hollow City* is a suspenseful, haunting exploration of inner demons, resilience, and the eerie beauty of choosing to become — even when the world seems built to break you.

SUMMARY: Haunted by her aunt’s final words, Lyra disguises herself as a maid in Veyron's territory—the ruthless pack leader responsible for the destruction of her village. Survival is her only goal… until Veyron claims her as his fated mate. To Lyra, he is nothing but a monster wrapped in power and bloodshed. Loving him is unthinkable. Escaping him feels impossible. As an ancient prophecy begins to close in around her, Lyra discovers that her fate is far more dangerous than she ever imagined—and that the bond tying her to Veyron may be the key to either her awakening or her ruin. Tormented by his past and an approaching darkness, Veyron never expected his fated mate to be living in his home—or to reject him. When he loses control, he proves her right to fear him. Even with the fate of the world at stake, he can’t risk letting her out of his sight… and despite everything, he still wants her. TRIGGER WARNING: Morally gray werewolves, forced intimacy, and romance that lives firmly in the “this is probably a red flag” zone. Consent may be compromised. Proceed with caution—and maybe a glass of wine. CHAPTER PREVIEW: Lyra swallowed hard, her throat dry, but the words escaped her lips before she could stop them. “I’m a reject,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “The man who was supposed to be my mate chose my sister instead.” His palms slammed the wall beside her head as his roar blew the hair out of her face. Lyra flinched, recoiling. His growl deepened, reverberating through the small space. “Whoever rejected you is irrelevant,” he snarled, his voice dripping with finality. “You. Belong. To me.”

Después de dejar la universidad, mis padres no me presionaron. Pero la amiga de la infancia de mi novio, esa que se hacía pasar por la chica perfecta y de alto coeficiente intelectual, me llamó por teléfono. Yo estaba ocupada trabajando en el campo, sembrando verduras y jugando con el agua, sin tiempo para programar. En mi vida pasada, ella presentó su proyecto de diseño de software un día antes que yo, era exactamente igual al mío. Todos me acusaron de ladrona, de farsante sin escrúpulos. Intenté defenderme, pero nadie me creyó. Más tarde, incluso abrió un canal de transmisiones en vivo para difamarme, diciendo que yo la acosaba en la escuela. La gente en internet enloqueció, atacando cruelmente a toda mi familia. Mis padres, tratando de huir de los fanáticos que los perseguían, murieron en un accidente de coche. Yo no soporté el golpe, me lancé desde lo alto de un edificio… sin poder cerrar los ojos en paz. Hasta el último instante de mi conciencia, no entendía nada. ¿Por qué, si era mi esfuerzo y mi trabajo, alguien más pudo publicarlo antes que yo? Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba de nuevo en el día anterior al plagio.

Había estado en una relación con el mejor amigo de mi hermano mayor, el Alfa Alexander Parker, durante siete años. Pero hay un giro: esta relación era secreta. Un día, después de haber bebido demasiado licor de luna, Alexander me dijo borracho: —Willow, Stella ahora tiene un cachorro. Si no tiene compañero, será expulsada de la manada por los ancianos. ¿Está bien si le doy el puesto de Luna por ahora? Con un tono calmado y dócil, respondí: —Está bien. En mi vida anterior, no estuve de acuerdo con la sugerencia de Alexander. También insistí en celebrar la ceremonia de emparejamiento con él. Mientras tanto, el vientre de Stella Lockhart siguió creciendo a medida que pasaban las semanas. Al final, ya no pudo ocultarlo más. Los ancianos, enfurecidos, finalmente la expulsaron de la manada. Después de que Stella se fue, Alexander dejó de volver a casa y tampoco me dirigió ni una sola palabra. Sabía que me culpaba de todo. Tiempo después, morí consumida por la culpa y la depresión. Cuando estaba a punto de cerrar los ojos, vi a Alexander entrar corriendo a mi habitación, alarmado. Stella, que se suponía había sido expulsada de la manada, lo seguía con un cachorro en brazos. Fue entonces cuando finalmente comprendí que, aunque Alexander era el salvador de Stella, él nunca fue el compañero más adecuado para mí. Ahora que había renacido, no rechacé su sugerencia. En cambio, decidí cortar todo lazo con él para que él y Stella pudieran vivir felices para siempre.

Dahil sa maagang pagpapagawa ng last will and testament ng Daddy niya, hindi tuloy alam ni Autheia ano ang gagawin. Wala siyang nobyo paano niya mabibigay ang hiling ng Daddy niya na bigyan ito ng apo. Dahil hindi niya makukuha ang mana nilang magkakapatid hangga't hindi nila mabibigyan ng apo ang Daddy nila. Hindi lang apo, kailangan ay maikasal sila. Sa kaso ni Autheia wala pa sa isip niya ang mga bagay na iyon. Hindi pa niya natutupad ang pangarap niyang makapagpatayo ng sariling negosyo. Isang pangyayari ang nagpabago ng buhay niya, nang dumalo sila sa kasal ng pinsan ng kaibigan niyang si Qiana. Hindi sinipot ng bride ang groom na pinsan ni Qiana. At sa hindi inaasahan ay magkakilala pala ang Daddy ni Khrysaor at Daddy niya. Kaya naman humandong ang mga ito sa isang desisyon na ipakasal ang mga anak nila. Hindi lang para sa negosyo kundi parehong gusto ng mga magulang nila na magkaroon na ng apo. Mapapayag kaya si Autheia sa desisyon ng Daddy niya, o susuwayin niya ang gusto neto. Kilala niya ang lalaki pero isang beses lang niya nakausap ito noon, noong nag-aaral pa lang sila hindi niya alam ano ang ugali neto. Mas lalong nabahala siya sa dahilang iniwan ito ng bride niya sa mismong kasal neto. Baka may mas malalim itong dahilan. Matutuloy kaya ang planong kasal sa kanila o tatakasan niya na lang ito gaya ng ginawa ng dating bride ni Khrysaor.
