Top Gun

I was ten when my Omega mother mated the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. My stepbrother, Draven, never let me forget how I’d diluted their pure blood. With his silent blessing, the entire pack became a weapon to carry out his hate. During a full moon hunt, he gave the nod. That's all it took. His followers "accidentally" pushed me in front of a raging stag. I felt its antlers rip my shoulder open. He looked down at me, his golden eyes dripping with scorn. “Don’t think you’re one of us just because your mother latched onto my father. Weaklings get culled. And I’ll be the one to kick you off my land.” At his command, they'd ruin my offerings to the Moon Goddess. They shredded my coming-of-age gown with silver blades. Through it all, my mother would only look at me with shame. My stepfather, the great Alpha, just saw me as a troublesome brat. I made myself small, desperate for a scrap of kindness. But it only made me the pack outcast. Hated and completely alone. Until Draven’s best friend, Liam—the Alpha heir to the Rage River Pack—showed interest in me at the werewolf academy. For the first time ever, Draven left me alone. I thought Liam was my only light in the darkness. On my birthday, I gave myself to him completely. The next day, I overheard him talking to Draven. Draven’s voice was low, laced with venom. “Did you get the video? Of the half-blood losing control mid-fuck?” Liam chuckled. “Of course. Gotta admit, she feels amazing. So soft… a real temptation. Almost got me hooked. But just in bed. The thought of her dirty blood…If it wasn’t to help you get even, I would’ve never touched a weak-blooded Omega like her.” I clamped a hand over my mouth, tears streaming down my face. My only hope was a lie. But they didn't know. I’d already applied to the Valeriana Werewolf Institute. And I wasn’t coming back.

Andrew Baker, datang dari Amerika Serikat ke Jepang pada tahun 1853 bergabung dengan armada kapal angkatan laut yang akan melakukan misi membuka perdagangan dengan Jepang pada era Shogun Tokugawa. Ia yang selama hidupnya di Amerika Serikat tidak punya tujuan pasti, ingin mencoba hal baru dengan menjadi salah satu tenaga pengajar teknologi dan militer atas permintaan Shogun Tokugawa Leyasu kepada pemerintah Amerika Serikat. Di negeri matahari terbit itu ia jatuh cinta dengan seorang gadis bernama Kiyoko, yang ternyata adalah putri klan Akamatsu, salah satu klan penting yang mendukung kaisar, dan menentang adanya pengaruh barat terhadap Jepang. Kisah cinta ini dibalut dengan konflik dan pertikaian panas di masa Tokugawa Leyasu, di mana terjadi banyak pemberontakan dari klan-klan yang menentang kebijakan penguasa tertinggi negara itu mengakhiri isolasi terhadap dunia luar, dan melakukan reformasi besar-besaran dalam segala aspek melalui campur tangan negara-negara barat. Apakah Andrew akan lolos dari ancaman-ancaman pembunuhan oleh ayah Kiyoko yang begitu membenci keberadaan orang-orang barat di negeri itu?

Dua belas abad sebelum tahun kelahiran juru selamat (Masehi), tanah Yunani mengalami kekacauan. Negeri para Dewa menyambut era kejatuhan. Banyak kekacauan dan kesenjangan masyarakat terjadi di seantero negeri, para saudagar dan kaum aristokrat saling berebut tanah serta suara rakyat demi kekenyangan pribadi. Jeritan para korban dari rakyat jelata pun kian meronta-ronta, memohon kepada sang Dewa sejati, untuk sekali lagi menjadi hakim adil atas kebejatan manusia biadab yang telah bersikap semena-mena memutus tali kemanusiaan. Dalam hiruk pikuk kekacauan zaman, muncullah kesatria agung bak jelmaan Dewata sejati. Kesatria muda dengan membawa kedua senjata kembar, melambangkan gerakan keadilan. Para aparat pemerintahan di berbagai negara kota di Yunani kerap memusuhi karena menjadi ancaman yang dapat menggulingkan reputasi mereka, mereka menyebut kesatria itu sebagai perampok. Melalui berbagai rintangan, langkah kaki sang kesatria tetap berlanjut sampai negeri Yunani selangkah mengintip cahaya terang benderang, era baru kehidupan manusia. NB: Cerita ini hanya fiksi, penempatan sejarah hanyalah setting zaman belaka.

When the half-mile sprint test is about to begin, Quiana Sullivan, the class president, and I have applied to be exempted from it. My own mother, who's the homeroom teacher of my class, approves Quiana's application with a smile. But she then throws mine to the floor. "You're having a chest pain, you say? I can't believe you're able to come up with such lies just to avoid the half-mile sprint! I'd have known if you had a heart condition! "Quiana is weak by nature, not to mention she's on her period right now, so she can't handle the agony. What about you, hmm? You've always been perfectly healthy, yet now you're telling me that you're suffering from heart pain? "Don't go around embarrassing me just because you want to slack off! I don't want others claiming that I'm being biased toward my own child! As long as you're still alive and kicking, you must finish the half-mile course no matter what!" Left without a choice, I can only return to the field. The cold wind makes me feel even dizzier now. My heart keeps contracting uncontrollably against my will. Suddenly, it just stops pumping. The next thing I know, I collapse onto the grassy field heavily. When my consciousness is about to flicker to darkness, my mom finally walks over to me. But she merely kicks my arm with a frown on her face, and her tone remains glacial. "Stop playing dead. Get up right now." She doesn't realize that I can never open my eyes ever again. Isn't this great, Mom? No one will ever claim that you're biased toward your own child. I've used my life to prove how fair and just you are. You must be happy now, right?

It's been five years since I started trying to win over Zachary Pierce. I even went so far as to have a child through IVF, hoping it would finally make him care. But no matter what I do, I can never reach 100 percent affection from him. It always stays at 99 percent. Sometimes it even drops lower. One day, exhausted and aching, I go looking for him. As I reach his room, I hear laughter coming from inside. "She still hasn't figured out the egg wasn't even hers. The moment the baby was born, Zach's affection score for her dropped to zero." "So what if she finds out? She should be grateful that her face looks so much like Yvonne's. Honestly, I'm done entertaining her. It's exhausting." At that moment, everything clicks. All the hope I've held onto, every sacrifice I've made, they were all just a joke. I turn away and say to the system, "End this for me. Send me to another world."

Jangan mendekati gundukan tanah itu, jika kamu melihatnya. Jika larangan itu kamu langgar, maka bersiap-siaplah kamu akan melihat wujud aslinya.
