Girl Child

Faveinks
Seventeen years old Osaro had dreams of a bright future, but everything changes when her father makes a decision that destroys the life she once knew. Against her will, she is forced into marriage with Mr. Okhizu, a much older and powerful man whose household is ruled by fear, silence, and unquestionable obedience. Osaro enters her new home hoping that, somehow, she will find happiness and adapt to her new life. Instead, she discovers that she is not the first young woman to suffer under Mr. Okhizu's roof. His wives carry painful secrets, scars, and stories they are too afraid to tell. Amina, one of his wives, reveals only a fragment of her own terrible ordeal. Mama Adana bears the scars of her husband's violence. Oge, despite being his sister, secretly sympathizes with Osaro and risks his anger to help her. Even Osaro's childhood friend, Omege, becomes involved when she secretly visits her, reminding Osaro of the dreams and future she was forced to abandon. But as Mr. Okhizu's cruelty grows worse, Osaro begins to realize that simply surviving will not be enough. When her mother finally comes looking for her, Osaro hears her voice from behind the locked walls of the compound but is too weak to reach her. Her mother leaves without discovering the truth, while Amina is left carrying the guilt of protecting a cruel man's secret. Trapped between a father who betrayed her, a husband who treats her as his property, and a household built on fear, Osaro must find the courage to fight for the life that was taken from her. Will Osaro remain another silent victim of the Okhizu household, or will she find a way to break free and reclaim the future she was meant to have?

The Saint Likes Me, But I’m Screwed… [Rewrite]

One early spring day, Alum and his classmates fell victim to a spatial quake—descending to Lethren, a world filled with elemental magic and wonder. Yet, even with the supernatural, Alum remained aloof; whichever world—it didn’t matter. Monsters the form of man, beast, or abomination—it never changed. He knew he wasn’t always alone, but he never thought to have deserved such kindness. To those who gave him paint, now was the time to pay it back, especially in the vivid horrors of the new world—surviving the wilderness. Then, along the way, colors began to seep into the garden, blossoming greens, painting blues, and budding reds. His heart throbbed a funny way for the first time—he’d fallen in love with Amethely at first sight after arriving in the peaceful metropolis, Ilifel. Once, a girl, whom he did not know, revealed to be the Imperial Saint—Could I pursue this? He coolly contemplated, looking at the options. However, change could never be easy for someone like him. How long would it take for a newly rinsed blade to stain? — An elegant Saint with silver-gray hair and pink amethyst eyes was regarded as one of the most prominent light mages in the empire. A girl who was once always in the shadow of her sister, obsessed with research and the path of the sword, with a wish to carry on her late grandmother’s legacy—fell in love. He was a foreigner with soft golden eyes and jet-black hair—a somewhat clueless expression yet charming nonetheless. New to love, Amethely didn’t know what to do, but she knew she wanted to see him again. Thus, she hoped to run into him again, at the same place, at the same time.  This time, she wanted to know his name, and for him to know hers, so that one day, even if their love doesn’t blossom, that light would pierce into his ashen world.
