Chains Lifted: Her Second Act

Llaellen
She was the perfect daughter, shaping herself into whatever they wanted her to be. A flawless doll. A beautiful mask. She learned every smile, every move, playing her part without a single mistake, because this part of her life wasn’t hers... it was theirs. But not forever. One day, she would break free. No one would control her future or tell her who to become. She would be the one writing her own story. Yet, just as her plans were finally falling into place, everything started to crumble. One problem after another, surprises she never saw coming, and people who kept showing up in her life, no matter how many times she tried to push them away. Her life had always been hard, but these sudden changes pulled her into a storm she never asked for, making her question the very path she thought she was set on. Like a caterpillar fighting to build its cocoon, she is struggling to change. But deep down, she knows that once she breaks free, she will be a butterfly, ready to rise and fly higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice, be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” Currently 7 chapters a week... Another 2 for every 100 power stones mark...

ECHOES OF BETRAYAL

"I'm so sorry for leading you down that path and leaving you in the cold arms of death. Would you ever let your heart accept me again?" Rick pleaded.

"Emma, please, for the sake of this innocent child, forgive me," he crouched low, his hands clasped together in agony.

After the forced love, I drove the demon god insane

She was once the most inconspicuous little goddess in the divine realm—silently guarding him for a thousand years, all for that Demon God who never spared her a single glance. To seal him away, she willingly gave up her divine heart, falling from godhood to mortality, just to grant him ten thousand years of peaceful slumber. But what she didn’t expect—was that the first thing he did upon awakening wasn’t gratitude, nor destroying the world... It was dragging her straight into a wedding hall, sneering as he said, “Seal me? Then spend a lifetime paying for it—with your life.” Before the red wedding veil was even lifted, he had already launched the hellish "Love Trial Arc": She became a stand-in for his former lover, yet he domineeringly declared, “You’re not her, but you drive me crazier than she ever did.” She was made a pawn in palace intrigue, yet he laughed as he overturned the empire, “I’ll give you the world—just promise you’ll only look at me.” She tried to escape, so he shattered the Three Realms, “Run, and I’ll destroy the world.” Her: “Are you insane?” The Demon God flips the table: “Yes. But only for you.”

Trench Crusade: WARHAMMERS SAINT BORN

Aaron Graves, a 30-something Warhammer hobbyist and online lore-debater, dies tragically (and stupidly) after knocking over a can of LPG while angrily typing a reply in a Trench Crusade fan thread. He dies mid-rant, mini brush still in hand. But instead of oblivion, he awakens in the middle of a mud-choked battlefield, face down in a trench. His first memory is a line of chanting zealots walking past with incense lanterns, their faces hidden by gas masks. A corpse beside him is whispering prayers to a god he's never heard of. He’s been transmigrated, body and soul—into the Trench Crusade universe. Only now… he’s not just a man. He is deemed a living relic by those around him, a “Saint-Born,” a vessel of prophecy who emerged from the smoke of a holy fire. Unfortunately, he has zero combat experience, can't stop referencing forum memes, and his only true skill is detailed knowledge of fake lore and painting miniatures. But it turns out… that knowledge might not be so fake after all. “Fanfiction based on the Trench Crusade universe created by Mike Franchina and Tuomas Pirinen.” Think a fusion of: *Warhammer 40k meets All Quiet on the Western Front *Re:Zero–style isekai trauma with a Dan Abnett narration twist *Touches of Terry Pratchett dark absurdity and Tomasz Baginski visual grit ******** Uploads: 5/8 chapters a week
