The Deal: Between Love and Favors

The Deal: Between Love and Favors

Zanne_Days
Salin just wanted to survive. Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone. Until Salin. One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse: “Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.” Salin agreed. Because he had to. But also... because he wanted to. Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart. Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again. Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure. And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming. The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop. What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger. ~ Note: This story has a happy ending. Salin and Jun-Ho grow into a strong, loyal couple. There is no cheating, no love triangle, no tragic breakup, no amnesia, just two people, on fire, healing and choosing each other, again and again.

Glitched: Highway Apocalypse

Cheng Shuilu, a programmer who died suddenly after working 72 hours straight, opened her eyes to find herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game. This world, structured like a highway-based death zone, is filled with roaming monsters, dwindling supplies, and collapsing rules. At the moment of her arrival, the system assigns her an SSS-level talent: [BUG Physique], a trait that allows her to exploit hidden loopholes and errors in the game itself. Now a solo player with an unpredictable power, Shuilu finds herself caught between survival and chaos. While others starve or hide in fear, she claims first kills, stacks supply crates, and races across monster-infested roads with a battered shopping cart and a metal pipe in hand. But as the game world begins to reveal its true nature — one with consequences and threats far beyond virtual — Shuilu must decide: is she still playing to survive… or playing to win? = Note: This story still ongoing, I will post 5 chapter a day until it hit 50, then maybe 1 or 2 chap a day

The d’Argêntea heiress

Born under the shadow of an ancient lineage, in an empire where names carry more weight than truths, Lígia d’Argêntea grew up among marble halls and piercing silences. But nothing in her life was truly hers — until now. When the Awakening ritual tears her from her comfort zone and throws her into an abyss between what she was and what she can be, Lígia must choose: follow the path laid out by others or forge her own, even if it hurts. And it will hurt. A girl, a system shaped like a lazy (but surprisingly sharp) cat, family secrets that bleed, and an empire where the Gods whisper in the corners... Nothing is what it seems. And neither is she.

Microbial Sovereign: Ashes of the Living Plague

“If this recording survives, and if anyone is left to hear it… I have failed. Or perhaps I’ve succeeded, just too late to save anyone that mattered. “This strain was never natural. Someone made it. And now the world is dying because we never imagined someone would. “I’ve synthesized what might be a viable counteragent. But I’m not going to live long enough to test it. Someone else will have to finish what I started. “This is my only legacy. This and… whatever comes next.”* He stopped. For a moment, he just stared into the empty air of the lab, as if searching for something beyond the walls. “I don’t want to die,” he whispered, finally. “Not like this.” But death did not ask for permission. The last thing he saw was the vial slipping from his hand and shattering on the floor. Then darkness.
