Phanessa Tauriel is a 24-year-old tattoo artist and owner of a bar/tattoo studio called Orphic Edge. She is proud to own such an establishment. Her customers are funny as Hel, and her best friends are the best employees a girl could ask for. Her roommate is a grumpy forest green and gold snake who hates being woken up before Noon. But the thing is, she hides a really big secret. When she was fifteen, she ate a golden apple given to her by an old shop owner in her hometown. After eating the strange-colored apple, her ears became long and pointed, and her light, warm hazel eyes changed to liquid gold. Who would have thought turning into an elf would give her advantages when the world got inducted into the System. _________________________________________________________________ I don't plan to continue posting this on Webnovel.

Hala had no idea how she ended up stranded in the desert, just like she had no idea why she had a golden finger system. Or who took her from her air-conditioned room where she was snuggled up in her bed? What she did know, was that she had an actual golden finger system floating right before her eyes. Eyes that are, according to the desert lake's reflection, looking back at her are now a dazzling heterochromia gold and blue instead of the honey brown she usually had. Her left eye was midnight blue, and her right was a daylight yellow. When she checked her system (because the only thing she was allowed to know was that she was blessed with the system by a Primordial goddess named Nent, the Cosmic goddess), was that her name was now Lapis D. Hala, and she was in the world of one of her favorite animes named Tensura. It was odd because her name sounded like she should be in the One Piece anime universe instead.

Jada Blackburn just graduated from high school with her girlfriend Ember. She had planned on spending the summer doing nothing but laze around and play the new VRMMORPG her dad helped develop. But no, she will be spending her next 10 years stuck in said game with her childhood sweetheart/girlfriend, reluctantly (on her part) climbing the stupid 100 floor tower in hopes of defeating the stupid Final boss. And for some reason the other players are calling her and Ember the "Yandere Couple." What does that even mean?! *This is a rewrite. Like with the other one, I'm doing this out of boredom. Low expectations. *

+ This is a revised version of the fanfiction 'Blood and Briars.' In an effort to enhance the narrative, I have adopted a more detailed approach. I hope this revision marks an improvement. + Garnette Briars is a strikingly beautiful seventeen-year-old girl who lives a life of solitude in a small town. Her world is shattered one fateful evening when a group of drunken local boys, enraged by her aloofness, accidentally kill her as she visits her mother's grave. As she lies dying, a mysterious dark-haired man named Raphael, with blood-red irises, offers her a second chance at life. Desperate to survive, Garnette agrees, unaware that Raphael’s offer comes with a price—he turns her into a vampire. As Garnette awakens to her new life as an immortal, she finds herself in a world she never imagined—a world set 200 years before the events of the Twilight Saga, filled with ancient covenants, powerful vampires, and dark secrets. Trained by Raphael, an enigmatic vampire who has lived for centuries, Garnette learns to navigate her new reality with grace and poise, but also with a simmering determination to understand the full extent of her newfound powers. Garnette soon discovers that she possesses a unique and dangerous ability: she can manipulate and grow briar roses, which can siphon the powers of other vampires when her thorns sink into their flesh. Raphael, who becomes a father figure and protector, teaches her to control her powers and feed on wild animals instead of humans. Together, they reside in France for two centuries, but the pull of the past and the mysterious connection to an ancient covenant draw them to Forks, Washington. In Forks, Garnette’s path intersects with familiar faces—the Cullen family, the Denali clan, and even the Volturi—but it is Tanya Denali, a vampire of unmatched beauty and strength, who becomes Garnette’s unexpected mate. As Garnette’s powers grow, she becomes embroiled in the dark and intricate politics of the vampire world, where ancient forces conspire to tip the balance between light and darkness. As Garnette delves deeper into the mysteries of her past and the true nature of the covenant she is now bound to protect, she faces relentless enemies—shadowy figures intent on claiming the power of the covenant for their own. Her journey takes her through ancient forests, treacherous mountains, and hidden sanctuaries where the lines between good and evil blur. With Raphael by her side, Garnette uncovers secrets that challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and the world she inhabits. The power of the covenant is immense, but so is the danger it presents. As Garnette confronts the shadows of the past and the fires of fate, she must decide how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves and the balance of power in a world where the darkness is always waiting. + This story is in a universe that crossovers with Twilight, TVD, Shadow Hunters, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, etc. The MC is not a Twilight vampire, but a mix of all of them. She has a frozen heart that "beats", she can dream and sleep, she eats, and she does not sparkle. +
