Parallel love: Crushing the crushes

Aisien_Ivie
Armstrong tilted his head, the smirk never leaving his lip. "you've got a sharp tongue, pearl. Ever thought of using it for something more...productive" His voice dipped lower, smooth and suggestive. He leaned in slightly, eyes gleaming with mischief as he flashed a devilish grin. "Bet you'd be good at it too". Pearl blinked. "Excuse me" *Drama. Chaos. Betrayals. And the love she never saw coming.* Pearl just wanted a peaceful university life—but with friends like Frederick, Amanda, Kelly, and Emily, peace was never an option. Between Sheila’s secrets, Jason’s confusing presence, and messy part-time jobs, things spiral fast. Then Armstrong shows up—cocky, charming, and irritatingly familiar. He reminds her too much of Bryan, the hotheaded guy she once clashed and bonded with at the factory. Except… he *is* Bryan. Rebranded, bolder, and still capable of stirring something in her chest. As truths unravel, friendships crack, and emotions boil over, Pearl must face everything she ran from—including a love that may never have ended.

THE MORTHEAL

Samael Ashbourne has spent his life in isolation, deep in the mountains alongside his grandfather—a former warrior who turned his back on the world after a tragedy no one dares to speak of. Even far from civilization, Samael's raw talent could not be hidden. Born with an immense reserve of spiritual energy and an extraordinary gift for magic, he was, by any measure, a prodigy. But talent means nothing when the world decides to break you. Everything changed the day a powerful enemy emerged from the shadows. Samael survived—barely—thanks to his grandfather's intervention. But the cost was absolute. His spiritual energy core was destroyed, severed forever from the source of all magic. In a world where power defines a person's worth, losing spiritual energy is not just a defeat. It is an annihilation. Overnight, Samael went from being a boy destined for greatness to a ghost—useless, powerless, forgotten. But his story did not end there. Forced to rebuild himself from nothing, Samael turned to the only thing still within his reach: his own body. Through relentless training, through pain and silence, he carved a new kind of strength—one born not of magic, but of will. Yet strength alone is never enough. Hunted by those who wish to erase every trace of his existence—and every hope of his happiness—Samael embarks on a dangerous journey across the world alongside his grandfather. Together, they walk through lands of both breathtaking beauty and unspeakable cruelty, facing beasts, memories, and the ghosts of the past. Because when the ashes fall, not everyone dies. Some are reborn.
