There's nothing more important than love, Mila always told herself. Even when her boyfriend cheated on her and accused her of stealing, leading to her being fired, Mila still held onto her belief. For a 24-year-old young woman to survive in a big city where she knew nobody but her cheating boyfriend, Mila had to look for work elsewhere not just anywhere, but The Montclair Club. For one night, she served as a salesperson for the launch of a new wine. As the saying goes, (In vino veritas) Truth in wine. Mila's truth was letting her hair down and having fun just for one night. The innocent woman had her own taste of a 'one wild night.' The result? A positive pregnancy test. Mila became pregnant by the hot-tempered, international playboy and heir of the Montclair Conglomerate, from a family of old money. Zyran Ciro Montclair is known to have a special hatred for the words family and poor. He only believes that the poor are leeches and liars. At the moment, the luxury of pride wasn't something Mila could afford. Jobless, pregnant, and left alone in the big city, Mila decided to go after her baby's daddy. Even if he might reject her, she had to try. And somehow, in her pursuit, she ended up on the early morning news: 'Noblesse Oblige: Montclair Heir to Marry an Unknown Poor Country Girl. It's giving Rich Prince and The Pauper. A 21st-century Fairytale.' What could possibly go wrong? you may ask. Stepping into the rarefied and unhinged world of the Montclairs, Mila realized that their realm wasn't the same as her world of black and white. Her perception of life was turned upside down, and she couldn't help but wonder. What could be so poisonous yet so good as power and money? Will Mila's love endure when faced with Zyran's 12 rules for their marriage, including the humiliating demand of: Rule No 6: “Submission is key: When I say kneel, you'll drop to all fours. Don't question it, just obey.” Will she allow herself to be consumed by the corruption that comes with wealth, or will she spread her innocence and show Zyran a world where people don't have to be used? Can their love survive the poisonous influences of power and money? . . . . . . Instagram account: Pluma_W143 Facebook page: Plumadidi Tiktok: @Plumadidi Cover belongs to me. Art by Kelveendraws

Now, years later. Saquin, a hybrid between human and Zombiekind, was living his gentle, uneventful life as a high value commodity on a slave spaceship. That was till his life took a sudden turn just as his sixteen birthday approached.

They are just nothing in his mind, not even a single wondering moment about his future. Everything just seems average for him. "Normal" grades, "normal" family, "normal" looks, "normal" life. Everything just seems... normal, that’s it- is what he usually tapes himself with as he walks on the street towards the school. He seems fine with it though, not even asking for something fun. A Diety, Vessel, and friend of god of Earth, coincidentally looks upon him below, sighed as he finally figured out that the boy is another one that wasn’t given a proper storyline in life by his friend. Feeling interested but somehow sorry for the boy, he then granted the boy something that will give him a story that he hadn’t even wished to have. Something fun, something great, and something worth living for. The thing, the key to unlocking the story, the power to see anything beyond what humans thought was a limited reality. This is the story of a boy that can see the other side of the world already. Gifted by an unknown being passing through the cosmos faster than the speed of light, the gift… is none other than the Unliving Eyes. Vol 1- It was the first day of the third-year high school student Valentin Nobez, but for him, is just a standard, typical, passionless day. Little did he know, that on this specific day, it would be the most "normal" day he could ever think of.

A good-for-nothing husband, who has nothing but looks, is causing a ruckus. They live in a thatched hut, without a grain of rice, the family is emaciated like refugees. If that wasn't enough, someone even comes to collect debts! Anger rises in Qin Yao's heart, and she kicks the wretched husband out, "Debt collector, feel free to just beat him to death!"
