A heartfelt piece on resilience and self-reflection, "I Didn't Expect to Break Here" explores the quiet pains of growth, sacrifice, and the unspoken strength within. It delves into the weight of emotional evolution, finding peace in silence, and confronting the unknown with unyielding determination.

I’m Sakura Minazuki, a mageka from a distant realm, often called by the names of “Princesa de Claridade”, “Luminosa”, and so forth, which all entail the invincibility of my powers.

But for now, I’m just an average office worker.

That’s right, a “wage slave” or so you may call it - nothing close to a mageka.

Sakura Minazuki, one who bore the glorious names such as the most powerful “Princesa de Claridade” and “Luminosa” in a distant realm named Glace, made her way to Hong Kong under certain work circumstances. Realising there was not a single job suitable for a mageka, upon the recommendation of her flatmate Kou Igarashi, she changed her path to earning a living as an office clerk.

Stuck in a long-standing dilemma between reality and ideality over time, she decided to pick up on her past identity with the advice from Kou and kick off her double life - “clerk by day, mageka by night”.

One day, the duo received an incoming request to “banish all ‘vampires’ from the city”. What was the true identity of these rumoured creatures of mystery who had been roaming around the city of prosperity attacking humans? And what was the intent behind it?

“In the name of ‘Princesa de Claridade’, I, Mageka Luminosa, now call upon the obedience of this dark creature under my dazzling radiance!”

This is Miura, a land where one in every 16 individuals are born sensitive to magic. Mages are the cream of the crop in a world dominated by arcane bloodlines. Beyond the mage is the Maister, and the greatest of the greats are the archmages. To nurture the sheer potential of arcane wielders, many legendary mages of old established grand academies across different kingdoms. And in the vast imperium, 13 schools within 13 kingdoms command great esteem and influence by boasting the strongest students of magecraft. One such school is Cinderfall, a premier institute in the heart of Imperial Baumwolland. Amidst its alumni is the fledgling teen Pollux, a young freshman with a good head on her shoulders and little else. But what else does she need? Mired by a wound from childhood and seemingly inescapable mediocrity, how can she hope to navigate a school of deadly, magical adolescence in a world full of monsters and mad sorcery? Maybe, she won’t.

Does "superpower" sound cool? — Until you discover that your ability is so useless, it’s laughable!

Lin Xiaoqiang, a broke community college loser who can barely afford to drink instant noodle soup for three days, suddenly awakens the superpower of "hearing animals’ thoughts."

— Only to find out that within a 10-meter radius, every animal is a vicious, sarcastic master of insults! The neighbor’s fat orange cat mocks him every day for being single, the pigeons on the street gossip about humans’ hairlines, and the stray dogs are secretly plotting a "world domination" scheme…

To survive (and prevent the dogs’ plans), he is forced to assemble a team of "useless superhumans":

This group of "Super Useless League" has daily tasks such as:

✔️ Helping the breakfast shop owner control "telekinetic egg frying" (but the eggs always stick to the customers’ faces).

✔️ Stopping A Zhai from using his 3-second time freeze to sneak a peek at the goddess’s phone (only to find that the goddess is also using superpowers to edit photos).

✔️ Fighting the "Superpower Correction Center" — led by an obsessive-compulsive uncle whose power is "forcing everyone to wear turtlenecks instantly!"

When they discover that animals are planning to destroy humanity with their "lazy genes," this rescue mission turns into:

Lying dead on an IKEA display bed, forcing the whole city to do square dancing with a pink virus, and live-streaming the absurd business of selling "turning exes into hamsters."

This is a hilarious comedy about "how loser superhumans turn their daily lives into disasters, but accidentally save the world!"

If you've ever fantasized about having superpowers, after reading this book… you’ll be grateful to be an ordinary person!

"Supreme bone dug out? Then I shall devour all the spiritual bones under heaven, and let the flames of the Holy Land's wrath burn away this false heavenly law!"

What would you do to if the world around you was falling apart? What would you do to prove you weren't crazy. These questions are what Julie May asks herself constantly as the world around her seems to fall apart.

Come along on an adventure of fantasy and horror and ask yourself one question.

"Can you hear the Fairy's song."

Well hello there, and welcome to Polaroid Bruises, where I tell you the weirdest, funniest, and dumbest shit you could ever possibly read. But first let's start with me.

My name Is Ruth Aguilar, I go by Milo or Millie. I adore black cats, i love the following genre of music- Indie folk, melancholy, alt. pop and rock, K-Pop, electropop, ASTERIA, very old songs that sound creepy. I also love love love rainy and misty days. I'm currently writing a book called Perfect Lies, it has been in progress since 2023. I haven't finished, and it's nearly something like Afterlight Burn, just way more... traumatizing. I really like the color red. And Dino Nuggets are the best, as well as I'm 13. I don't really think a person my age should be writing stuff like this but who cares.

I am Pansexual, I am not attracted to pans, disgusting. And Non-Binary. They/Them!

I'm in band, and I want to go to SXU in Chicago to study Criminal Justice for a B's Degree, and try to become a criminal investigator. I have one older sister, and I live with my mom. Because my father is an asshole. And yeah, I really didn't know what to put for my first blog entry but here you have it!.

And DISCLAIMER- Afterlight Burn is an ongoing project, so it'll update two chapters a day, so if you did like the first three parts, stay tuned!

Ember is a young girl with a steady job, cold hands. and things she'd rather not remember. And when an attractive, quirky chocolate maker ends up in her life, will she finally face her fears, deal with the memories and make a friend? Or will she find herself drowning in his eyes........(If you want me to continue PLEASE let me know, it means the world to me. And I'd love to hear your thoughts, <3)

this story is about a girl journaling, about life, and what she think about it. Its about her life, what's going on in it, and the hard truth.

I arrived in another world.

No system, no sword, no royal lineage. Just a little boy, abandoned in the mud in front of a ruined temple.

Seventeen years later, I'm still not a hero.But I'm alive, barely, and with a dream:To build a home for children like me. A place where orphans aren't forgotten. Where they eat warm meals, learn magic or farming, and perhaps not die before puberty.

After years of saving coins, begging from carpenters, and dodging slave traders, I finally opened my orphanage.

And then...

> DING!> "Celestial Orphanage System Activated!"> Mission: Turn every orphan into a hero, a legend, or someone their enemies will weep for in therapy.> Rewards: Power, skills, fame, and, occasionally, a divine coupon.

Apparently, every time one of my children learns to read, kills a demon rabbit, or stops licking enchanted rocks, I get a reward.

And it doesn't stop.

Healing spells? I've got them!

Martial arts techniques? Now I accidentally punch trees.

A celestial presence that makes kings sweat? Uh... I'm working on it.

I just wanted to be a caregiver.But the world is starting to whisper my name. Some call me the Martial Saint. Others, a menacing Demon above the Seven Heavens.

The kids?They call me "Boss Lin"---
