Players took the initiative and elevated her to a divine status. In the third millennium of the Empire, a former Emperor, who requested anonymity, loudly complained during a newspaper interview. 'Those immortals charged into the palace shouting about friendship and bonds, and forcibly placed the crown on the head of Bai Fu, this demon. Such a sin!' Bai Fu responded to the accusations with great indignation. 'How am I a demon? From the beginning, I have always advocated love and justice. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes wide open... It's also difficult for me. Sometimes, it's worth looking for the reason within oneself. Have you ever tried to be a good person over these years? Why do the immortals only attack you and not me?'

The Echo Between Us A Novel by Astra K. Lana Vienne never believed in fate-until the night she left a note between the pages of a forgotten book, never expecting anyone to find it. It was nothing more than a quiet confession, a whisper of longing pressed onto paper, meant to disappear into the endless hum of the city. But when she walks into Café Amour weeks later, she sees him-Oryn Moreau, the man the world knows as Ryn, a famed yet elusive writer-reading her words. She doesn't know him, but he knows her words. And somehow, it feels like he's been waiting for them all along. Set in the dreamy city of Aurivelle, where love lingers in quiet corners and fate writes between the lines, The Echo Between Us is a story of serendipitous moments, unspoken emotions, and the delicate line between fiction and reality.

Meanwhile, Martin, a Ph.D. in literature and a seasoned movie enthusiast, lost his life in a car accident in August 2023.

Seralyndra Veliriane T. Virellthane never really had a place she could call home. Not truly. She grew up in a house that wore the label of faith but forgot how to love. To her, it wasn’t a family—it was a daily trial. Her every breath was a burden, every smile a mask. She did everything right. Top of her class. Rules followed to the letter. She was the kind of girl parents bragged about—except hers never did. Instead, they treated her like she was a flaw in their perfect picture, a crack in the glass they refused to admit was there. And when you hear you’re worthless enough times, you start to believe it. There were nights the silence grew too loud, and the weight of her own thoughts crushed her from the inside. There were mornings she didn't want to wake up, not because she was tired, but because existing just hurt too much. Maybe they were right. Maybe she really wasn’t meant to be happy. But then he happened. Drevanthos Kaelithar V. Maldraven—sun-kissed skin, tired eyes, and that crooked smile that looked like it could talk your demons into sleeping for just one night. He showed up like an unfinished poem—flawed, reckless, human—and for the first time, someone saw her pain without her having to bleed. One simple thing changed everything: he kissed her forehead. That was all it took to quiet the war in her chest. Her chaos paused. Her walls cracked, just enough to let him in. And in his arms, Seralyndra learned that softness didn’t make her weak—it made her real. She wasn’t too much. She wasn’t broken beyond repair. She was wanted—mess, scars, and all. But happiness, she learned, isn’t a promise. It’s a fragile thing. Because just when she thought she’d finally climbed out of the darkness, life reminded her it still had storms waiting. And this time, she was drowning in them alone. The sea she once called her freedom now whispered her fears back to her. The waves she loved no longer danced—they dragged. And in the echo of everything she’d lost, she had to ask: Was love ever hers to keep? Or just something borrowed from someone else’s story?

He flips the game. The more she plays, the more she loses control. He sees past the act—past the reckless, flirty, untouchable Maya—straight into the shattered girl underneath. And for the first time, she wants to stop pretending. Then Victor Carter snaps. Her ex won’t be forgotten. Won’t be replaced. If he can’t have Maya, no one can. And he will burn her life to the ground to prove it. When Vic raises the gun, Maya finally realizes—this was never about taming Eddie. This was about surviving Vic. A game of obsession, manipulation, and broken hearts. A twisted dance between love, hate, and control. The line between desire and destruction blurs, and everything Maya thought she knew about herself, about Eddie, becomes nothing but a lie. Can love survive the poison of obsession? Can they survive each other?
