World System Among Gods

“Ayoo bangun, Sayangku,” Angga mencoba lagi, kali ini mencubit hidungku gemas. Aku membuka mata sedikit, memohon. “Mas, aku masih capek dan lemas banget. Kamu duluan aja.” Angga tertawa pelan, tawa yang membuatku ingin meninjunya sekaligus menciumnya. “Loh, kan seharusnya yang kecapekan itu aku, sayang?” godanya, matanya penuh ejekan jenaka. Mataku langsung terbuka lebar. Aku mendorong pelan wajahnya. “Enak saja kamu, ya, kalau ngomong!” Angga tertawa puas. Ia mencium bibirku singkat, sebuah sentuhan pagi yang membuat jantungku berdesir. “Yasudah, kamu tidur lagi sebentar. Aku mandi duluan, Muachhh…” Setelah mandi, kami berdua berdiri berdampingan. Keintiman semalam mengubah segalanya. Gerakan sholat Subuh kami terasa lebih sakral, diimami oleh pria yang telah memeluk jiwaku dan ragaku. Selesai berdoa, aku langsung ingin merebahkan diri lagi. Rasa lelah itu sungguh nyata. Namun, Angga menahan lenganku. “Kamu mau ke mana, Sayang?” tanyanya lembut, tangannya masih memegang tasbih. “Aku mau tidur lagi, Mas. Masih capek dan ngantuk banget,” jawabku dengan mata sayu, tanpa malu mengakui kelemahanku. Angga tersenyum teduh. “Sini, kamu tidur di sini saja. Temani aku berdzikir.” Ia menepuk pahanya yang kini tertutup sarung, mengisyaratkan tempat peristirahatan. Aku menurut. Aku merebahkan diri di pangkuannya, wangi sabun dan parfumnya menyelimutiku. Aku menutup mata, dan suaraku Angga yang merdu melantunkan dzikir menjadi ninabobo paling menenangkan. Angga menatapku yang terlelap, mukena masih menutupi kepalaku, dan damai di wajahku. Hatinya melunak, dipenuhi gelombang emosi yang tak pernah ia rasakan bersama Angel. Angel selalu sulit diajak sholat, selalu menuntut, selalu membuat drama. Putri berbeda. Dia penurut, sederhana, dan kecantikannya bukan hanya di luar, tetapi di dalam hatinya. Angga menarik napas dalam. Ya Allah, terima kasih Engkau telah menjadikan dia sebagai Istriku. Aku sungguh benar-benar mencintainya, batin Angga, sebuah pengakuan yang melegakan sekaligus menakutkan. Semoga dia adalah istri yang bisa membantuku untuk ke surga/Mu nanti, Ya Allah. Aamiin. Angga menunduk, mencium keningku

⚠️WARNING! KAWASAN DEWASA. Aku terlahir tak diharapkan, hingga akhirnya aku tersisih. Langkah kakiku gontai dalam pelarian di Ibu Kota, tanpa sanak tanpa saudara. Aku ingin sukses di Jakarta ini, agar kelak bisa kukatakan pada mereka, "Aku bisa berhasil tanpa kalian." Sayangnya, harapanku musnah saat aku justru dijebak seorang mucikari dan dipekerjakan olehnya sebagai wanita penghibur. Tak berhenti disitu, aku justru kenal dengan seorang pelanggan tampan yang semakin merubah tujuan awalku pergi ke Jakarta. "Kau memiliki istri, Mas Gelar?" "Ya, Bita, aku memiliki istri." "Lalu, kenapa kau memilih 'jajan' denganku?" # #

Three months into the silent treatment from my Alpha mate, Samson Holt, he holds a grand ceremony befitting of a Luna for the return of his beloved Leia Harton. Because of this, I—the real Luna—am now the laughing stock of the entire pack. "Sharon's just an orphan wolf with no real lineage. How could someone like her be our Luna?" "Exactly! Leia's the one who truly deserves to stand beside the Alpha." Ignoring them, I take up a silver blade and slash it hard across my throat. They never knew that I wasn't truly one of them. I wasn't a wolf at all, but a human from another world. And the Moon Goddess just told me that if I die in this world, I can finally go home and reunite with my family.

Theo, the god of all gods, visited earth and instantly fell for Maddie as soon as he landed his eyes on her. He brought her to his world and pursued her despite their different identities. Theo and Maddie soon got married and when they thought that they achieved their happy ending, secrets and lies started to unfold before their eyes. In the world where gods exist, nothing seems impossible but will the love between Theo and Maddie conquer the odds?

Over a great century of peace and tranquillity, great catastrophe was steadily brewing. Leaving the Afghan war after the bloody massacre, seven officers of the then Afghan government turn rogue. They move to South Africa where they operated the largest underground shadow government the world had ever seen. Several years of activity with lots of experience meant that not all who wished the downfall of this gang could get their hands on whatever they wanted. Out of the blues come Fiona and her group called the Pacesetters, who clear the deeply rooted organisation from it roots. Determined never to give up, the Alpha Lords turn their attention to the one area of crime where the criminals always gain the upper hand - tech crime. Their new methods and determination baffle even the most talented intellects and force governments all over the world to prepare their minds and heart for a complete overthrow, and to disobedient citizens, the most feared consequences. Gradually, these men do not accept that man should still exist, but that humans evolve to the next stage of existence - programmable code. Would they prevail, or would the witty and most determined forces of light conquer the powers of darkness?

Three hundred years ago, the vampires took over the world, they became the ones in charge, they pushed the humans down and classified them into colours. My name is Katie, I'm code blue, also known as a little, I'm a vampire now, I've been here since the beginning, I saw my friends getting picked and chose, but I stayed behind. Everyone got their doms, everyone got their happy ending, everyone but me...well, I wasn't alone either, but I didn't have everything I dreamt about. In the world of dom and little, what happened after the takeover? What about the ones who weren't as lucky at first? How long did it take for everyone to find their place.

Greed is a powerful feeling that has changed the world over thousands of years. Science, religion, and magic have built a new era and there are some who want to end it all, for the sake of a dying world. It is only up to certain beings to awaken the world and cleanse the lurking evil within the desires of the current rulers, or to wipe out those who can't contribute any good to a new rising world.

When the wolves were created they were created without a soul, animals, killer machines, ones that go on killing spree with nothing to hold them back. The gods regretted their decision to create the wolves, they were rogue, they had no loyalties, nothing to stop them from burning the whole world, they needed a soul. The gods couldn't give the wolves a soul, they refused to kneel down, and their souls were as dark as their dark lusts. The gods forced the wolves to their knees, giving them souls in the shape of humans, kill the soul and die, hurt the soul and feel agony, the souls are to be saved, and protected, no more killing, no more attacks, they are forced to take care of their own soul.

"Bunda bolehkah aku memeluk Ayah untuk terakhir kalinya?" ucap putriku dengan tatapan mata penuh harap. Aku hanya bisa menggeleng perlahan, mencoba menyamarkan diri di antara orang-orang yang sedang ada di rumah duka, bagaimana aku akan tampilkan dan memeluk suamiku sementara aku hanya istri rahasia, dan putri yang lahir dari pernikahan kami, selamanya tidak akan mendapatkan pengakuan keluarganya.
