Ultima's Bite!

(AN: Give my novel a try until ch12 please!) New Current Schedule - Minimum 2 chapters / a day Mass Release Target - 40 golden tickets ________________________________________________ [Novel synopsis]; In a world scarred by the rise of biomechanical warfare and the shadow of an enigmatic syndicate known only as Ragnarok, one girl stands at the edge of revolution. April, a seemingly ordinary 20-year-old living in the fractured remnants of a future society, hides a past drenched in trauma and secrets. Blinded and deafened during a harrowing attempt to escape her abusive father—a man who destroyed her family—April is forced into a life of silence and darkness. But everything changes after an experimental surgery implants nanotech into her skull, technology far beyond anything humanity should possess. Now, April sees without eyes and hears through a new kind of sense. The nanotech has awakened a dormant potential in her—a coded sigil etched behind her head shaped like an angelic wing and a spear. It’s not just a symbol. It’s her Gear, a powerful combat system linked to ancient animalistic and Zodiac powers—each wielder embodying a creature of legend. Hers? A spear-born sigil capable of shattering mechs and bending digital space. When she joins a covert organization aiming to dismantle Ragnarok, April discovers she’s not alone. Other Gear users fight beside her: Jax, the brilliant strategist; Saya, the deadly calm blade; Kai, a hawk-gear user with a fire-forged past; Dante, the powerhouse with unmatched resilience; Juno, the data genius cloaked in mischief; and the Leader, a figure shrouded in mystery who knows more about April’s past than he lets on. As April navigates brutal missions and high school halls alike—where rivals like Tessa Lane threaten her sanity with cruel mind games—she must balance normalcy and the battlefield. Every encounter pushes her closer to the truth: about her powers, her family, and Ragnarok’s true purpose. But none are more telling than her growing connection with Astra, a lone Gear user with platinum hair and a piercing gaze. Astra has the power, the knowledge, and a burning desire for vengeance. April needs her—but Astra isn’t so easily convinced to join a cause she doesn’t trust. The deeper April digs, the more the lines blur between ally and enemy. With Ragnarok’s agents—like the cold and calculating River Hoss—looming on the horizon, April must decide who she’s willing to trust, who she’s ready to fight, and how far she’ll go to protect what little she has left. The world doesn’t need a hero. It needs a weapon. And it just found one.

Beneath The Rivalry

Elena Moore enters Langston University with one goal: to excel. With a journalism scholarship and a coveted spot on the campus dance team, she has no time for nonsense—especially not from arrogant, smooth-talking basketball players who think the world revolves around them. But when she crosses paths with Aiden Cole—Langston’s star athlete and notorious campus flirt—her quiet plans take an unexpected detour. From their first encounter, Elena and Aiden are enemies in every sense. He mocks her, she challenges him, and sparks fly in all the wrong directions. But everything changes when they’re forced to work together on a semester-long debate project. The rivalry intensifies—until their arguments start to blur with undeniable chemistry. As late-night study sessions turn into lingering conversations and unspoken tension, Aiden finds himself drawn to the one girl who sees through his charm. And Elena begins to realize that beneath Aiden’s confident front is someone surprisingly real—and unexpectedly kind. But neither of them dares to admit the truth: they’re falling. Haunted by their own fears and hiding their feelings to protect their fragile friendship, both Elena and Aiden struggle to navigate the space between enemies and something more. As their bond deepens, Aiden’s flirtatious ways fade, replaced by a quiet protectiveness that catches Elena off guard. What he doesn’t know is that she’s hiding feelings of her own—and it’s only a matter of time before they both break. Meanwhile, Elena’s best friend, Rose, starts her own love story with Jordan, Aiden’s teammate—a boy who slowly but surely teaches her what it means to be seen, heard, and loved. With family, friendship, competition, and dreams at stake, Beneath the Rivalry is a sprawling, emotional university romance episodes filled with laughter, longing, heartbreak, and healing. What began as a feud becomes a slow-burning love story that neither saw coming—and one neither of them will ever forget. ---
