tristan wilds

Daring a snowstorm might not be the smartest thing Aiden Evans has ever done, but he can’t stand being in his flat a moment longer. With only three days to Christmas, he doesn’t want to be alone. He wants a place to belong, wants people around him who won’t look down on him. He might not find that at his mother’s place, but it’s better than being alone in the city. If he can make it there, that is.<br><br>Tristan Gardner is looking forward to a quiet night in front of the TV, but instead, he has to save an idiot in designer clothes from freezing to death in his forest. Tristan tries not to notice the man’s good looks, just like he has tried not to notice any man’s good looks for the last seven years. He knows where relationships go and is far better off living alone, with his dog, in his cabin.<br><br>Aiden is driving Tristan mad with his bratty comments and irresponsible ways, and Aiden is going crazy from Tristan’s judgmental attitude. Luckily, in a few days, the weather will clear up, and the two men won’t have to be together any longer. But will a few steamy nights with the grumpy lumberjack change Aiden’s mind about wanting to leave? And will Tristan still want to go back to his peaceful, predictable life without fear of getting his heart broken?<br><br>Contains the stories “Once in a Snowstorm,” “The Empty Egg,” “Happy Endings,” and “Just Words.”

He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her. [ influenced by the story of Hades and Persephone ]

Born in the wake of a fearsome war that had taken over his family lands, a young prince is cursed by enemies given the mark of the werebeast and an endless life of suffering amid the wild due to fear of his abilities and the monster deep within, he is exiled and forgotten until he manages to use his accursed gifts to carve out a way of life amid the wild for himself.

For generations, the Maw’Tanu apes ruled the wilds of Aru’Mata, surviving by instinct, strength, and the will to dominate. But when Kuro—a young, outcast ape—awakens a mysterious System, everything changes. Now, he can grow stronger, faster, and deadlier. With each battle, he evolves. With each hunt, he learns. But the jungle is not his only enemy. The Tzalik, a savage tribe of exiled Maw’Tanu, are preparing for war—a war that threatens to consume his entire species. Faced with ruthless warriors, monstrous beasts, and the untamed power of the wild, Kuro must carve his own path. Will he become the jungle’s greatest predator? Or will he fall, like so many before him? In a world where only the strong survive, Kuro will prove that an ape can become a legend.

Centuries after the fall of the ancient Eidric Concord, the fractured world of Nareth survives within fragile bastions known as Hubs—fortified cities that cling to life behind failing aether barriers. Beyond those walls stretch the Wilds: vast, untamed biomes where nature and corruption blur, and monsters born of living crystal and marrow rule the ruins of the old world. Among the hunters who brave that chaos walks Aric Venn—a quiet, ruthless veteran of the Hunter’s Accord. Armed with skill, instinct, and a pair of rune-forged blades, Aric hunts to keep the barriers standing and the corruption at bay. But when a routine mission at the swamp Hub of Duskveil uncovers a creature pulsing with Leviathan-grade resonance, everything changes. The fallen Behemoth leaves behind a shard that hums in time with Aric’s heartbeat—an artifact that awakens ancient memories of the Concord and the catastrophe known as the Hollowing. As Aric’s team battles through swamps, councils, and jungles to contain the spreading resonance, they realize the “corruption” is not infection at all. It’s the world itself remembering—a vast living network reawakening beneath their feet. Each hunt draws them closer to the truth: the monsters are guardians, the crystals are arteries, and the Core of Nareth—the heart of the planet—has begun to stir again. If it fully wakes, it may either restore the world that was lost or end what remains of humanity. Copyright © 2025 [Patrick Skipper] All rights reserved.

Each new day in the village of Kosoko was like the previous;  little kids running in every direction with the intent of playing on the foremost part of their minds, and older kids acting grown up while chatting with rabbits and rats, weird, right? That's Kosoko. Mothers, ever busy, could also be seen keeping an eagle eyed look on their kids and hollering at them to return when they began to venture far out of sight amidst gossiping with peers. When dusk strikes and the lights come alive, the aroma of their food compel both men and kids to respond with stupendous alacrity. The men of the village only engaged in farming, which was contrary to their former occupation; hunting, but ever since the Igwoba(village head) bestowed upon animals the gift of speech, animals were rarely killed for food and sport. Kosoko was indeed a beautiful village, but it wasn't always so. ( Now, you're probably wondering where I am in all these, am I part of the men, women or kids running in draping pants?... Well, I'll let you in on a little secret : I am dead, and this is a story of how I died).

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. 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!" The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming? At this moment, the lazy husband who was sent away to die (twisting and crawling) (struggling to stand up) (screaming and roaring): My dear! I think I can be saved!
