"Here", Turning around, she almost didn't catch the item that was thrown to her.
"Spray paint?"
"Yeah, ever heard of vandalizing?"
"But, why here?", Xiu Ying turned around, noting the fact they were in an abandoned building.
"Sometimes, get chased by people isn't always that exciting. It's tiring", Adjusting his bike, he let the light shine onto a particular wall. "I get tired, but that doesn't mean I still want to do something illegal just for the thrill of it. So I took up this building and kinda made it my own, just to vandalize and have fun you know?"
Standing beside the girl, he looked at her and laughed a bit. "Close your mouth, a fly might choke you to death. A criminal getting killed by a fly doesn't sound so epic, does it?"
"You...drew this?", On the wall was a big skull, spray painted by the boy. It was almost twice his size, and took up a lot of the wall. "Yep, and now it's your turn. Do whatever you like"
Feeling a bit sceptical, she looked at him a bit more before he nudged his head at the wall, giving her permission.
And there she started, spray painting here and there. Adding this, adding that. This and that, here and there. She let her mind run wild, and smiled for the first time that night as she stood, proud of her work.
"A rose?", She almost forgot that Devil Rider was still there, just because she was so focused on her work.
"Mhmm, it's a reference to my name. A black rose, with dark red blood dripping off the petals. Blood Rose, makes sense right?", She explained, walking backwards until she eventually sat on the bike together with the boy.

They sat in comfortable silence, until Xiu Ying decided to speak.
"Hey, why is your name, you know... your name?"
"You mean why is my name Devil Rider?", She nodded.
"The Rider part is because of my bike, possibly the most prized possession in my life. Then the Devil is a reference to who I am outside this mask. I may look like an angel, but deep inside I'm also a devil", Chenle then pointed at the skull on the wall.
"Then the skull signifies that no matter who I am, angel or devil, I am still one person, with one skull. I'm just a human, after all"
"Woah...that's deep", Xiu Ying's eyes lit up in awe, slowly clapping. "You're really smart for linking everything so well like that"
"I know", He said cockily, pride taking over him for a bit. "What about you then?"
"Well, I think Blood Rose is pretty self explanatory. I'm a beauty trying to come for blood, or in this case just cause trouble"
"That's what I tell anyone who asks anyways. The true meaning behind it? Well I'm that rose", She pointed at the wall.
"It was once white, meaning I was once pure. But at some point it got corrupted, and it turned black. The purity died off, although it was still beautiful. The blood says it's now tainted, and the redness of blood could cover it's true colours and fool people. People could mistake it for a red rose, meaning love. But turns out it's a black rose, meaning death"
"Just like how I am. I show my red side, yet deep inside my black side still prevails", She finished. "Sad, huh?"
"But the black rose has another meaning", Chenle spoke up. "It means rejuvenation"
"I don't understand that word"

He deadpanned at the girl who only laughed, the sound filling his ears feeling contented that he was able to make her laugh again. Weird feeling bubbled inside him, but he quickly dismissed it.
"Rejuvenate, it means restarting. A new page. A reload from your old life"
"You might think your life is dead here, that your just going to continue on like this. But no, you still can change. Whether it's for the better or not, it's up to you. Because in the end, only you can change your ways"
"...Seriously so smart", She clapped loud.
"Thanks, I try", He shrugged playfully. They stared at each other for a bit, before Xiu Ying's eyes caught onto something in the far back.
"Is that a car?"

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
