Not edited.
She was shaking as she sat on the end of her bed. He scared the hell out of her and there was no way she could get away from him. Why did her father arrange this? Surely he had some idea what his friend was really like? Was that what he wanted? Had she gone off the rails and he was using Damon to get her back under control? It didn't make any sense. Why did he do this? Was she that bad?
Clutching herself around the stomach she started to rock back and forth. Completely oblivious that she was doing it. A nervous reaction that came from the past. One that would be the beginning of her demise.
Her alarm woke her. 5:30am as he told her. She couldn't remember going to sleep last night... or was it this morning? She was exhausted but slowly made her way to the bathroom to freshen up and splash water on her face before going to the kitchen and cooking the meal he commandingly requested.
She worked mechanically as she prepared his food. Stopping every now and then to close her eyes amd take a breath because the smell was too much. Somehow she'd timed things right and had just finished serving things up when he walked into the room.
"Good morning my love! What a beautiful day it is today."
She placed the plate on the table in front of him as he sat down. Her wrist was grabbed making her jump.
"I said good morning."
Gulping down the wave of nausea she spoke, softly, politely "Good morning Damon."
He let her go "Where is your breakfast Anna?"
She looked at him guiltily "I've already eaten."
His eyed narrowed "What did you eat?"

Not willing to admit the truth she lied "Two pancakes and a slice of bacon" she hoped he believed her.
He shook his head as he picked up his knife and fork. "I'm disappointed my love. Our first morning together and we aren't having breakfast together. This makes me very sad."
Anna looked to the floor not really caring how he felt "I'm sorry."
He looked surprised at her apology and with a sigh he pushed his chair back "Come here my love."
She knew she had no choice but to as he commanded. Slowly she walked to him and sat rigidly on his lap as he pulled her into his arms. She her lip to stop her mouth from trembling. She froze as she felt the strap of her top being pushed aside and a warm mouth taking its place.
"Relax my love. I won't hurt you."
She tried her best but fought the need to cry as his hands worked in unison rubbing over her stomach and her back. In a strange way it felt comforting but she was too afraid to let her guard down completely. The hand from her stomach moved to lift her chin as his mouth searched out hers. Her body betrayed her as the kiss intensified and his tongue pushed past her lips. She felt a slight sting from where she'd been biting but it was soon forgotten as two hands found the back of her head and his mouth sought her total submission to him. She found her hands clutching onto his arms as her mouth gave up all fight to his domination.
She felt more than heard him hum his approval as slowly he brought the kiss to an end. Both out of breath he rested his forehead against hers.
"My beautiful wife to be, tomorrow we shall have breakfast together mmm?"
Her mind screamed no as her mouth betrayed her once more "Yes Damon."
He beamed at her "Good girl. Now get ready for school and remember, clothes will not show others what I own."

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Long Island
Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. Swamy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game.Note - Thanks @DameCarnelian for the cover. Just so people don't get confused, that ship is not Raka's ship :)
