Jonathan Milton Reinsdorf

I see Grandfather, and he knows I see him. The people surround me, their faces red with anger. Grandfather raises his hands, eventually quieting them. "Toby... what have you done?" The colony world of Horus was a blissful utopia... until a curious little boy made one mistake and sent the world into a downward spiral of self-destruction. The world's gods were revealed to be nothing more than computers... and those computers are now failing. To pay for his mistake, Toby Spafford, now a man, must travel the deadly, ruined streets to find three missing keys that can activate a backup system created by his grandfather, Professor Jonathan Spafford. Dogging his every move are various factions that have grown to like the taste of power over the helpless citizens, and they'll do anything to stop him. In his favor, he is determined, intelligent, bitterly stubborn, and resourceful. Unfortunately... so are his enemies.

Mute, cow-boy muet aux cheveux rouges et sans aucune mémoire, erre dans un désert brûlant peuplé de créatures mutantes affamées. Une nuit, il entend une voix étrange l'incitant à se rendre au Lycée Vile, vaste et mystérieux établissement gardé par de monstrueux robots guépards. Au même moment, quatre adolescents : Antoine le curieux, Marianne la courageuse, Josie l'amoureuse et Jonathan l'immature, découvrent que leur proviseur torture et tue en secret des élèves... Que se cache-t-il dans les profondeurs du Lycée ? Quel est le véritable but de ses occupants ? Et, surtout, qui est cet inquiétant être au corps blanc qui, depuis sa baignoire, observe l'horizon ?

BEHIND "She may looks like everybody, but she's not like anybody." Grace, a.k.a Rosalie, a.k.a Brenda, dan banyak nama lainnya, harus terus mengubah jati diri dan berpindah-pindah. Keabadiannya yang tak lekang dimakan usia menjadi penyebabnya. Sosok setengah manusia yang mengarungi kehidupan terkutunya sendirian. Hingga pada usianya yang lebih dari seabad, semua berubah. Hatinya yang semula membeku, mencair oleh seorang pria bermata cokelat madu. Setelah itu, banyak rentetan kejadian yang membuatnya terus bertanya-tanya. Terlebih, saat ia tahu bahwa bukan hanya ia iblis di dunia. Lantas, datang pula seorang pemburu iblis yang membeberkan dunia bawah tanah. Grace terkejut, karena takdir yang tak pernah dibayangkan membawanya untuk bertempur. Apalagi sosok yang membuat hatinya menghangat harus menjadi korban. Mampukah Grace menyelamatkan Jonathan yang hampir terperangkap dalam perang dingin sesama iblis penikmat gairah?

"Jadi kamu yang membuat Farel pergi meninggalkan aku? Kamu membuat data palsu seolah-olah Farel memiliki penyakit HIV agar dia membatalkan pernikahan? Terus besoknya kamu melamarku menggantikan posisi dia seolah menjadi pahlawan agar keluargaku tidak menanggung malu? Begitu?" Shira bertepuk tangan di hadapan Jonathan. "Maksud kamu data palsu apa? Dan jangan berbicara tinggi seperti itu padaku, aku ini suamimu!" "Yang seharusnya menjadi suamiku itu Farel, bukan kamu! Aku benar-benar menyesal telah menikah denganmu! Kamu bersikap seolah-olah aku ratu satu-satunya di hatimu padahal ada ratu lain yang kamu sembunyikan, termasuk keluargamu sendiri ikut merasahasiakannya, benar-benar gila!" Shira berkelakar sampai kalap. "Ratu apa? Aku tidak mengerti dengan perkataanmu, Shira!" "Come on ... tolong berhenti menjadi aktor hebat di depanku! Kamu tahu Grecia yang katamu adalah klien penting? Dan anak kecil yang terus bergelayut manja meminta perhatian darimu? Sekarang aku tahu itu adalah istri dan anakmu!" Jonathan meremas rambutnya sendiri. "Oke, Fine! Aku jujur sekarang, Grecia memang istri pertamaku. Aku terpaksa menikahinya karena perjodohan, tapi anak kecil itu bukan anakku, Shira. Tolong percaya." "Apa? Bukan anakmu? Sungguh malang nasib anak itu tidak diakui oleh ayah kandungnya. Padahal aku dengar sendiri anak itu memanggilmu dengan sebutan ayah. Apa sekarang kamu akan menuduhku tuli, Nathan?" "Bagaimana aku bisa mengakui anak kecil itu adalah anakku padahal aku tidak pernah menyentuh ibunya? Grecia memang mencintaiku, tapi aku tidak mencintainya. Satu-satunya wanita yang aku cintai hanya kamu, Shira. Tolong pahami itu!" "Kebohongan apa lagi yang kamu buat? Selama ini aku terlalu bodoh percaya dengan semua bualanmu padahal kamu sutradara licik di balik sekanerio kejam yang kamu buat!!" "Cukup, Shira. Aku tidak berbohong, aku sudah melakukan test DNA tanpa sepengetahuan Grecia. Hasilnya memang anak itu bukan darah dagingku!" Tak menggubris Jonathan yang terus berkelit, Shira memilih memasukkan semua bajunya ke dalam koper. "Tunggu surat gugatan cerai dariku, Nathan!"

Our place was hit by an earthquake. I was crushed by a slab of stone, but my wife, leader of the rescue squad, abandoned me in favor of her true love. She said, "You're a soldier. You can live with a little injury. Felix can't. He's always been weak, and he needs me." I was saved, eventually, and I wanted to leave my wife. I agreed to the chip research that would station me in one of the National Science Foundation's bases deep in the mountains. My leader was elated about my agreeing to this research. He grasped my hand tightly. "Marvelous. With you in our team, Jonathan, this research won't fail! But… you'll be gone for six whole years. Are you sure your partner's fine with it?" I nodded. "She will be. I'm serving the nation here. She'll understand." The leader patted my shoulder. "Good to know. The clock is ticking, so you'll only have one month to say your goodbyes. That enough for you?" I smiled. "More than enough."

“You think I care for what happens to my life?” “The last thing that is certain to happen to all humans is death. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” * Gemma thought that in her life she would never go out while Elenio’s sky was still dark. But after she moved to Ayria, the capital of Elenio, she had that opportunity. Living in a country that has a curfew, Gemma and the millions of people in Elenio never get to enjoy the atmosphere after sunset. Elenio is a beautiful small country in the South Pacific Ocean. At first glance, this country looks like an ordinary country, but actually, this little country holds a big thing: Draconian. Night creatures that roam and kill humans. Of all the inhabitants of Elenio, only the Arcthurian, a special force formed to fight the Draconians, had ever seen the figure of this monstrous creature. Gemma’s work at a nightclub, a forbidden place in Elenio, the actions of her childhood best friend, Jonathan, and Gemma’s encounter with a mysterious handsome man, brings Gemma to be involved in Archturian. Until finally Gemma finds out that the curse of this country is closely related to her.

In my previous life, I inherited the family's steakhouse, while my sister asked our dad to get her a job that paid 75 hundred a month. To her shock and surprise, the heir of a rich family and I fell in love at first sight when he came over for a meal. I became his wife, and everyone envied me for marrying the richest man in Imperia. My sister lost both her legs during a work accident. Jealous of my great life, she set me up and killed me with her own hands. We were both reborn at the same time, back to the moment where we would make the decision that would change our lives forever. Right before our father, she told him she wanted to inherit Shaw's Steakhouse. I heard everything, and in a corner where no one could see me, a sneer curled my lips. Poor thing. She had no idea at all. Her nightmare would begin the moment she met Jonathan Landton.

When the gas cooker exploded and Sharon Milton was close to death, only her five-year-old son, James Collins, was at her side. Her spirit stood next to James and looked at him as he sobbed and called Sean Collins. He begged Sean to come home and save his mommy. However, Sean only scolded him and told him not to lie like Sharon before hanging up. James wiped the tears from his eyes and called 911. When the ambulance finally arrived, Sean appeared and stept in. "Daddy, Mommy is bleeding out and needs the ambulance. Please don't take it from her!" "You little liar. Looks like your mom hasn't taught you very well. Step aside! Riley is due. She needs this ambulance more than Sharon!" James's eyes had turned red due to all the crying, but Sean pushed him away and left without even taking a look back. He got into the ambulance with Riley in his arms. "Daddy... Daddy! Please save Mommy!" James sobbed as he chased after the ambulance, but he didn't see the speeding truck that was heading towards him. Sharon shouted her son's name and wanted to push him away, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch as James was run over by the truck. Beneath the wheels, there was a pool of blood spreading across the ground. Sharon was about to lose her mind. Over the past years, Sean had abandoned Sharon and James countless times for Riley Winston and her daughter. Whenever Sharon and Sean had an argument about this matter, Sean would always just say that he was repaying Riley's father for saving his life. Sharon just felt that Sean didn't know what he was doing. What she didn't expect was that he didn't care about her and James's lives at all. Sharon felt that she was the one who killed James. Her heart ached as she took her last breath. If there was another life, she just wished that she had nothing to do with Sean.
