Chronicles of Tessera

Misa_Kiriyu
Welcome to Tessera, a planet where consistency is uncommon. Every 13 days and 4 hours, the world hits the reset button in a terrifying, geological event known simply as the Shift. If you were planning to build a retirement home, tough luck, Tessera specializes in instant demolition and landscape reconfiguration, which is why civilization is long gone and humanity is hanging on by a thread. Meet Cyrus Solith, our socially anxious and perpetually conflicted protagonist. He’s not seeking glory; he’s seeking a single person he lost years ago. His internal life is a chaotic mess, but his external capabilities are anything but, thanks to the mysterious Patterns, geometric markings that grant extraordinary abilities. Cyrus finds himself reluctantly partnered with Rem, a hyper-logical genius who understands the world’s power system better than anyone, even without a Pattern herself. Their co-dependent journey is about survival, but fate has other plans, constantly pushing them toward the world’s central mystery: why did the Shifts start, and how can they possibly be stopped? The first leg of their epic journey throws them immediately into the deep end, forcing Cyrus to confront his greatest weakness...the habit of running away. If he wants to survive the next two weeks, he’ll have to get stronger, smarter, and face the fact that the person hunting him might be closer than he thinks. What You'll Find Inside: A Unique World: A constantly reconfiguring planet where life is a nomadic, high-stakes gamble. The Pattern System: A dynamic magic system based on geometry and mathematics. High-Stakes Combat: Intense, strategic fights where speed and intellect matter more than brute force. Complex Relationships: A strained, co-dependent relationship between an emotionally avoidant protagonist and his hyper-logical foil. Existential Mystery: A quest to uncover the planet's history and stop the cataclysmic Shifts before humanity vanishes entirely.

Bending the Straight Alpha

Dahmer Lukas is a man of chilling precision and unparalleled intellect. As an "Enigma"—the rarest, most elusive and strongest personality type in the omegaverse—he functions more like a machine than a man. Cold, calculated, and entirely devoid of emotions, he runs a massive scientific empire with one singular focus: Project Z. His goal is as ambitious as it is controversial: to synthesize a serum capable of pacifying the hyper-aggressive Alpha population. To complete the formula, he requires a biological sample from the world's most powerful Alphas. He has successfully harvested samples from every target—except one: Malcom Ford, the ruthless CEO of Deviloy Technology Company Malcom is an anomaly in his own right. Known for his cold, unyielding nature, he never releases during intercourse, keeping his genetic essence locked away. Dahmer orchestrates a masterfully deceptive plan: He adopts the guise of a wide-eyed, vulnerable Omega intern, and infiltrates Deviloy Technology. His objective is simple: seduce Malcom, trigger the impossible release, and secure the sperm sample for his research. But there are two major complications: Malcom Ford is staunchly, aggressively uninterested in men. He views his own biological urges as a weakness to be controlled, and he is immune to the typical ploys of those trying to get close to him. To infiltrate Malcom’s guarded inner circle, Dahmer must learn to mimic expressing emotions. He studies the art of a smile, the mechanics of a genuine laugh, and the physical act of crying. But as he performs these human behaviors to manipulate Malcom, something begins to shift. The more Dahmer acts, the more his own cold, Enigma logic begins to fray. Dahmer Lukas set out to dissect Malcom Ford, but as the lines between deception and desire blur, he realizes he is the one being dismantled. Can a man who has never felt love survive the fire of an S-tier Alpha who refuses to be tamed?

True Love Never Waves

‎(Highschool+ Campus+ Amnesia+ Getting back together+ Slice of life+ Marriage+ Poor to rich) ‎ ‎In high school, Shen Qingyu and Lu Jingchen are campus enemies with a body count. She’s the scholarship student who wakes at 4 AM to make red bean buns and fights for every grade like rent depends on it. He’s the bad boy heir to Lu Holdings, a heartthrob with a Ducati and a detention record, and he parks in her bike spot just to watch her explode before first bell. Between violin competitions, math leagues, and business deals that threaten her family’s bakery, their rivalry is the most consistent thing at Yunjiang No. 1 High. Then the accident happens. A rainy night, his motorcycle, her on the back after he insisted on driving her home, and brakes that didn’t catch. Qingyu survives with trauma-induced amnesia, losing five years of memory that include him, their fragile truce, and the night she fell first. They separate after the hospital, her family moves districts, and Lu Jingchen is sent abroad by his father. His stepbrother, the golden-boy Lu Yanze, stays behind, and for five years that’s the end of it. ‎ ‎College brings them back to the same campus and the same war. Qingyu doesn’t remember Jingchen, only that her beat-up violin has a child’s handwriting inside and her chest hurts when she sees his face. He remembers everything and hates that she doesn’t. Now they’re enemies again by choice, with Lu Yanze in the middle as the perfect heartthrob stepbrother who offers her textbooks, protection, and a way out of the Lu Holdings mess that still looms over her mom’s lease. The love triangle cuts sharp between business and old feelings as Jiang Wanyue claws for Jingchen’s attention and Jingchen fights Yanze for Qingyu. It’s teen rivalry turned adult, campus turned battlefield, until a note and their photo they took together falls out of her violin case during finals. `Qingyu + Jingchen = forever`, dated the year before the accident. When her memory comes back in pieces, bruises, buns, and broken promises, enemies finally don’t make sense anymore. Because amnesia stole five years, but their first love never waved and getting back together means surviving who they were, who they became, and the truth that the bad boy was hers.
