Have you ever wondered how fate is a huge joke? - I mean it, like a literal clown trying to make people laugh at cold jokes that not many would understand. Ivy Hui-Clover was told at a young age that she can live up to 25 years old. And the only way for her to survive is to find her Mr. Right and... - well that's for another time to continue. "Is it wrong to want to sabotage my own blind date?" Ivy slurped her boba milk tea and focused intensely on chewing the pearls. As she savored the sweet flavor, her fraternal twin, Chloe answered her question. "What do you think?" Compared to her, Chloe had it easier when it came to looking for a partner. "Then being a savage, it is." Ivy cupped her cheek, clearly in a good mood from having her favorite drink in her hands. -- "Ivy went where?!" Selina's high pitched voice made her husband, Jason cover his ears. Rereading the note that Ivy had left behind, her left brow twitched unhappily. "Who told her Chloe was going there?! Nuh uh. No way! I need to send someone to get her back." She slammed the note against the table. At the same time, fate played a twist on Ivy. After roaming around the unfamiliar mall, she finally purchased a new laptop for herself. Her clumsy friend destroyed her old one in the most peculiar way anyone can ever imagine. As she walked out of the store, she bumps into a young man, causing her swirled glasses to fall. The stranger gasped when he saw her face and she quickly took her glasses from his hands before heading off the opposite direction. Not long after, she found herself surrounded by guards in suits with a weapon in their blazer. "Don't move and follow us," the guard said. "Interesting," Ivy smirked at his challenge. -- "How did you get here?" His voice was so deep, causing ripples in her chest. It sent shivers down her spine, making her tighten her legs around his waist. Mark Williams was told that the girl he's been looking for might be found - his friend had run into her in front of the electronic store. However, she ran away like a frightened bunny. It was a game of tag at this point, and he had a time limit - to catch her before she leaves this mall. In the midst of looking for her, he found a girl flying towards his direction - yes, flying. He caught her, and one of her mustache swirled glasses lens fell off, revealing her energetically innocent puppy eyes. 'It's her' His heart beat against his chest rapidly. "I flew here." She replied. And this was the start of their twisted fate. What would happen when she learns about his profession and realizes he wasn't who she thought he was? Yet, it brought her such excitement as it dragged out her crazy fantasies from her private library of Mafia Romance books?

[Mature Content] English is not my first language. ||| Sci-fi - Dystopian ||| "It's going to be me," I told my aunt, Johanne Holst, my father's sister, the one who raised me after my maternal grandma Greta decided to cut contact, after my maternal aunt, my father, my older brother, and my mother all died in the sick games that happen every 7 years in Mallory, considering me cursed and bringing down our Area from 10 to 27. The plate that was in her hands fell down, but thankfully it didn't break, since we don't have enough money to buy good stuff, so it's made of plastic. "No. No, you won't." Sighing, I walked towards her and picked the plate up. "It'll be me." "Why… why are you saying that?" She cried. "Our family is cursed, auntie Jo, you know that. I don't know why, or how, but this keeps happening. Great-grandpa died and brought our area from 7 to 20, then grandma stayed alive and got to 10, but then her sister died and we went down to 13, then dad died and we went down to 17, then my brother died and we went down to 22, and last time mom was the 2nd to die and we ended up in area 27. This curse has only fallen over us." "It doesn't… it doesn't mean anything. It could be me." I smiled softly, putting the plastic plate aside and holding her hands, "The Holst bloodline isn't curse, but the Mathiasen is, auntie. Dad got in it after he married mom and got her surname, so he was a Mathiasen then, and so were Silas and mom, and… well, I'm the last one. Grandma Greta won't be picked because she's been through it." "You don't know that for sure," she cried. "Maybe someone else," "I've been having dreams," I told her. "Of a tear of Mallory floating above my head. I don't want to tell you, because I knew how you would react. But it'll be me, but don't worry, I," "What? Dreams? Since when?" She gasped. "How can you tell me not to worry, Love?" She held me by my shoulders. "Those sick fucking games are a death sentence. They will come at you like beasts, because no one wants to end up falling on the power pyramid, which is decided through the games. We are penultimate. The representatives of areas 28 and 27 are walking targets, and everyone will try to kill you first. Even the 28th, and," I hugged her, "I won't die. I've been preparing myself." "Love," "Please, trust me. Believe in me. Nobody does, I only have you, can you believe in me on this?" I asked, looking into her teary eyes. "I only need you to cheer for and believe in me, auntie, no one else." "I…" she swallowed. "Okay. But since when?" "I actually thought it would be me last time, and not mom, when I was 14, since I began to have the dreams at 10, the minimal age to be part of the Grim Games," I passed a hand over my wavy long blonde hair. "But then mom was picked instead, and I realized I would go in 7 years, at 21. So, every day when I wonder in the radioactive woods, I've been training." "What did you train?" "As the animals in there are not eatable, I've been just hunting them for the sake of getting batter at the daggers and archery," my entire family was made of archers, so there's legacy, even though they were mostly bad as fuck at it, which is why I also self-taught myself the daggers by keeping in my memory the techniques the other areas displayed in the last games. "I also found some old martial arts books and I've been trying that out." "Ah, Lovise, why didn't you tell me?" She asked sadly. Sigh, "I didn't want to worry you. I swear I'll do well. I've learned how to survive in the wild, how to get water, how to make wood weapons our of nothing, how to make fire, how to know if something is poisonous or not, how to cook wild animals that I hunt, and how to camouflage myself." She hugged me tight, "You can't die. I can't lose you. Promise me." "I promise you, I won't die, auntie. I'll survive and I'll take us to the top 10 again!"

"Crown Prince, what do you want from me?" Jiang Miao glared fiercely at the handsome face before her. It was late at night, no one knew she was hiding a man in her room. The irony, she could not scream for help either; this man might look elegant on the surface but she was aware of his bloodthirsty tendencies. He wouldn't blink before ending her life. "What do I want?" The man played with the dagger in his hands. His gold embroidered black robes appeared even darker in the bleakness of night. "What do you guess?" "Crown Prince, it's not time to jok..." "You think I'm joking," Embers of anger appeared in his indifferent eyes. Jiang Miao was shocked. Wasn't the crown prince rumored to be a cold, aloof demon who would not let out any emotion even in the face of the worst adversities? But before she could understand, the trace of anger was already replaced with a cold sneer. He laughed. "How about I show it to you, then?"

"You are to be blamed," He said with a stinging indifference, "For your ignorance and inability to see the situation. How could you imagine I would ever admire a woman like you?" He put his arm around Jiang You You after throwing a contemptuous glance towards Jiang Miao. "Jie Jie, don't worry. I'll take care of Hig highness for you," Jiang You You laughed and she put her hands over his chest. He looked at her with affection so deep that like a rebounding slap, Jian Miao woke up from the delusion she had always held towards this man. Before breathing her last, her hatred seeped so deep into her bones that she made a vow. She vowed if the heavens ever granted her a chance, she would make this adulterous couple suffer a thousand times than her! As it turned out, the heavens were not blind.
