English writing tutor Steve Smith only has two more semesters to graduate from Vermillion College in California. Then he hopes to get a top-paying job writing copy for a tech firm. Until he reaches his self-fulfilled dreams, however, he’s working his way through school without borrowing from his successful Chinese-American parents.<br><br>Vermillion football star Jason Woodard, on the other hand, grew up in a state-run home and is struggling to make his athletic scholarship and all that goes with it mesh with his academic requirements. He too is about to finish but, having put off first year English composition, has to rely on the writing lab where Steve works for help with an essay about love. Since Jase says he’s never encountered love, he can’t figure out how to write his essay.<br><br>As they talk about love, they discover two things: falling in love is easier than talking about it and nobody in the school’s athletic program wants two guys to fall in love.<br><br>When the abuse of athletes across the country comes to light, Steve realizes Jase too has been abused and needs more help than a tutor can give.

This essay has no definite meaning, just a long introspection of myself. Just ills intertwining in me and lying on a pale cavier. Hoping that others will find meaning in it

A compilation of thoughts which would've been buried to nothingness if not powered by inkstones.

"so this thing... It controls you?" Wren shrugged her shoulders with her hands in her pocket. "Something like that." _ An antagonist to the one she cared for the most, Wren knows no way of escaping what posses her but letting it control her to save those around her.

Um garoto que nasceu em um mundo de magias, ele tenta matar alem de possessões, mas também seu próprio psicológico.

Ever since the Last Heavenly War, the death of the Starless has condemned Gods, Deities, Godbornes, and Righteous Spirits to horrific fates and untimely true deaths. In their absence, the vile and the wicked have risen to claim dominion over the vast cosmos. Yet a forgotten prophecy lingers—foretelling a war that will ignite once more when a hundred years comes to pass. Amid the shadows, a secret order stirs. Once a scattered gathering of outcasts and seekers with divergent aims, the Order of the Godless now finds itself entangled in events that will shape destiny itself: the resurrection, nurture, and eventual ascendance of the Starless. ------ Please support me by reading! It's my first book so far. Hope you'll like reading it ^^ Author note: This novel is mostly about character development, particularly the growth and development of our Order of the Godless members. Some of the characters here are extremely powerful like the Lofty Demigod, while some are really weak like our first introduced character, Hidden Gnome. However, as I ramp up the chapters, their abilities and match up with each other will link and it will bring about a one plus one equals more than two result! Our Starless, is the focal point of the story, more like the reason that the plot must go forward. I might want to make an arc where the Starless is the main character, but that will be a time for the future. And as always, happy reading! Since the book is still my first draft, I might not be publishing new schedules on the right time (my ideal publishing schedule is 12 PM Hongkong/Manila Time). However, I'm in the most crucial stage in my college life right now and I might be busy (sorry T_T). But even if I miss a day of writing, I'll still upload two chapters the next day! ------ I posted my story as well on RoyalRoad! https://www.royalroad.com/profile/202688

"There is no such thing as a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. Our Lord had written the decree of our fates. HE makes us fall in love. HE lefts us broken hearts. He is doing everything for a reason. And those reasons, have now, been ASSESSED!"
