21st Century Beauty

Butter_Potato
Can an empty heart be stirred? Hundreds have tried, but Zeirin Lynn’s heart belongs to the wild. To live in a small cabin at the top of a secluded mountain, unfettered by worldly matters for the rest of her life—that was her lifelong dream. But gems buried deep, shied away from the world above, are treasures sought after. The most exquisite of pearls are pried out of their shells, the finest of jades harvested from their boulders. Such was Zeirin Lynn’s dilemma. If people could just leave her alone, and not ask her to be their apprentice, master, employee, boss, wife, princess, queen or colleague—life would be easier, but no. She was a 21st Century Beauty, acquired by none, desired by many. Will she remain sequestered comfortably in a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Or will she fall into the hands of a narcissistic show-off, keen on displaying her inside a glass box for everyone to see? Her name is Zeirin Lynn, and this is her story.

The Last Trace

In the City of Amnesia, survival has a price — and it costs everything you are. Kobi is a Scavenger. A shadow at the bottom of the world, invisible to everyone who matters. But when his mother sacrifices her memories of him to pull him back from the edge of starvation, she doesn’t just forget his name. She becomes a Shell. A hollowed-out vessel. Empty eyes. A stranger wearing his mother’s face. Consumed by rage, Kobi descends into the forbidden ruins — the one place the city’s rulers have declared off-limits. What he finds there isn’t just salvage. It’s a secret ruthless enough to shatter the order that keeps millions enslaved. But the City of Amnesia doesn’t give you truth for free. Every answer costs a piece of who you are. Every secret carves out a little more of the self you’re trying to save. How much of himself can Kobi lose — before he becomes the very thing he’s fighting to destroy?

The Zillion System

Ethan McCain was a "ghost" in the halls of Saint Jude’s University—a scholarship student who survived on cheap noodles and the scraps of dignity left by the campus elite.
