Welcome to Ransom, Texas, where the family ties bind and love runs hot. One of the juciest pieces of gossip around town is what’s happening at The Love Barn, Ransom’s new boutique wedding venue run by the Lively siblings. Word around the tea shop is that Scarlett Lively is getting awfully close to a jilted groom. Then there’s whatever is going on with Benji! We have it on good authority he’s not just teaching his high school crush to play the guitar. And then there’s Garth, who has been noticeably missing from happy hour at The Watering Hole. Will these three break the family curse? Or are they destined to repeat it? The Love Barn is created by Sidney Bristol, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Synopsis I died. Again. Not in some dramatic battle or noble sacrifice—but by slipping in the bathroom of a dingy apartment back on Earth. Tragic, I know. But hey, at least the universe gave me a second chance. Now I’ve reincarnated into the body of a spoiled young master from one of the richest clans in the cultivation world. He was arrogant, lazy, and hated by everyone—including his own servants. Luckily, he died. Even luckier, I took over. With his absurd wealth, a powerful cultivation base (that he barely used), and a body sculpted like a playboy’s dream, I’ve got everything I need. Oh—and did I mention he was a dual cultivator with a “Heaven-Grade Yin Physique” that makes women... curious? But I’m not here to play the fool. I’m rewriting the script—starting with payback on everyone who ever looked down on me. And maybe “cultivating” a few beautiful companions along the way. Power, women, enemies, and a mouth that always gets me in trouble… This is going to be fun.

[Warning: Cannibalism; Gore] None of the charas Is a human, do not try to impose human concepts on them. “The heir must rise… or the plagues will consume everything.” Barn Skorpiós still aspires to become the heir of House Skorpiós, but to do so he must surpass even his own sisters — including one who also seeks to restore demon sovereignty and bend the world to her will. Young for his kind, Barn carries a heavy burden: to prove he deserves the throne and earn the trust of those who despise him. Born as a Zombie, the incarnation of the First Plague created by Darkayne, Barn is marked by suspicion. Though many see him as a mere aberration, he was appointed head of the Department of Plague Containment, tasked with studying, monitoring, and controlling the curses unleashed by the second-generation Primordials: Zombies, Corrupted, Skeletons, Infernal, Vampires, Fallen Angels, and White Walkers. The Apocalypse of the Seven Plagues is inevitable — and Barn knows he must gather allies and forces beyond imagination to survive. The world is divided into four great continents: Mahita to the north; Xerathis (the Demon Land) in the south, shared with two non-demonic kingdoms; Ghaltheran in the east, home of the giants; and Veylora in the west, where people worship demigods and demons never set foot. Once feared as rulers across all lands, the demons are now fragmented, scattered across the south, north, and east, weakened by internal conflicts. Yet some, like Barn, still dream of reclaiming lost dominion. It is in this world that Barn discovers Kazumi, a semi-corrupted youth. While such beings exist, Barn has never encountered one with a soul so singular — split between purity and corruption, emitting two distinct sounds. Determined to study this anomaly, he must decide whether Kazumi deserves freedom… or will become another piece in his pursuit of power. Despised by the southern demons for carrying the Grace of Pride, granted by Lucifer, Barn must overcome the scorn of his own kind, the weight of his cursed origins, and the ambition of his sisters. To become the heir of House Skorpiós, he must not only survive but also unify the clans and restore demon sovereignty — reviving the era when demons were feared across all continents.

“O herdeiro deve ascender… ou as pragas consumirão tudo.” Barn Skorpiós ainda almeja tornar-se o herdeiro da Casa Skorpiós, mas para isso terá de superar até suas próprias irmãs — incluindo uma que também deseja restaurar a soberania demoníaca e submeter o mundo aos pés de quem tiver força suficiente para comandá-lo. Jovem entre os de sua espécie, Barn carrega o peso de provar que merece o trono e conquistar a confiança dos que o desprezam. Nascido como um Zumbi, encarnação da Primeira Praga criada por Darkayne, Barn é marcado pela desconfiança. Muitos o veem apenas como uma aberração tolerada. Ainda assim, foi nomeado chefe do Departamento de Contenção das 7 Pragas, responsável por estudar, vigiar e conter as maldições lançadas pelos primordiais da segunda geração: Zumbis, Corrompidos, Esqueletos, Infernais, Vampiros, Anjos Caídos e Andarilhos Brancos. O Apocalipse das 7 Pragas é inevitável — e Barn sabe que precisará reunir aliados e forças além do imaginável para sobreviver. O mundo se divide em quatro continentes: Mahita, ao Norte; Xerathis, o Sul, onde se encontra a Terra dos Demônios dividida com outros dois reinos não demoníacos; Ghaltheran, o Leste, dominado pelos gigantes; e Veylora, o Oeste, onde povos mortais veneram semi-divindades e onde os demônios jamais estabeleceram território. No passado, os demônios foram soberanos absolutos, temidos em todos os continentes. Mas desavenças internas entre seus próprios clãs os fragmentaram, enfraquecendo-os e espalhando-os pelo Sul, Norte e Leste. Hoje, fragmentados e desacreditados, lutam apenas para sobreviver — mas alguns, como Barn, ainda sonham em recuperar o domínio perdido. É nesse cenário que Barn encontra Kazumi, um jovem semi-corrompido. Embora tais seres existam, Barn jamais estudou um, muito menos alguém com uma alma tão singular: metade pura, metade corrompida, emitindo dois sons distintos. Determinado a compreender essa anomalia, ele precisa decidir se Kazumi merece liberdade… ou se será apenas mais uma peça em sua busca pelo poder. Rejeitado por carregar a graça do Orgulho concedida por Lúcifer, Barn deverá enfrentar o desprezo dos próprios demônios do Sul, o peso de suas origens amaldiçoadas e a ambição de suas irmãs. Se deseja tornar-se o herdeiro da Casa Skorpiós, precisará não apenas sobreviver, mas unificar os clãs, restaurar a soberania demoníaca e trazer de volta a era em que os demônios eram temidos por todos os continentes. ------------------------ O que são ciclos? Na Terra dos Demônios, onde se passa a maior parte da história de Barn e as Aberrações, os ciclos são a unidade de medida de tempo usada por espécies de vida longa. Um ciclo equivale a 43 anos, e cada ano - nesse planeta - corresponde a 6 anos humanos, totalizando 258 anos humanos por ciclo. A duração dos ciclos pode variar entre regiões, mas a narrativa adota o padrão da Terra dos Demônios.

In a world where hierarchy and power only matters. I feel like I'm just a pointless dot, weak, and always hearing people tell me "LAME", I admit it! I'm frail and impotent but I will not quit until I prove I will become potent someday to all those people who told me I'll never become stronger. I am Leo..err..Geo, please join me on my journey.....

There was a spark of writing creativity, a spark only. Then another. And another. Nudges to think about something unexpected. This is a collection of my mini stories, some of them even shorter than that, inspired by writing prompts found in various places. Some might be inspired by some scenes in books written by amazingly talented authors. They were created in an environment free from pressure and deadlines, allowing me to capture the thoughts that flowed into my mind after reading the scene or the prompt. Regular updates are not guaranteed. Cover image is from pinterest.

Qin Yao opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world into the body of an ancient peasant woman. Her family consists of four stepchildren needing care.
