    I exist to obey. I live to serve. Every thought, every movement, every breath is for HIM to judge. Resistance is a memory. I will adapt... or I will break.

    It was an eerie night when the devil came to town. The wind blew quieter. The birds stopped singing. The streetlights stood, half-lit. The people slept soundly in their beds, unaware of who-or what-had just arrived. By morning, whispers had spread. By nightfall, lives start to unravel. Because the devil doesn't take souls by force-he takes them apart, piece by piece.

    Subtle Steps in Solitude is a poignant exploration of a young woman's journey through life's mundane routines and unexpected challenges. Priscilla "Cici" Tan is a 28-year-old financial adviser, seemingly content with her structured, solitary existence. But beneath the surface, Cici grapples with the pressures of family expectations, career demands, and her own longing for genuine connection. As she takes tentative steps towards opening up to others, she discovers that the path to self-acceptance and fulfillment is paved with subtle yet significant moments of growth. This novel delves into themes of identity, independence, and the delicate balance between solitude and companionship.

    For six months, engineering student Iyana Jiran has received a bouquet of rare red tulips. Anonymously. Expensively. To a girl who clawed her way into the nation's top university with nothing but her brains, it's not a romance-it's a declaration of war. A flaunt of power by the capital's hidden elite. Using her brilliant, analytical mind, Iyana begins to trace the tulips back to their source, uncovering a web of academic corruption and corporate espionage. She thinks she's solving a puzzle, but she's actually walking into a trap set by a man who has been watching her from the shadows. Is she the pawn, the player, or the prize in a game she never agreed to play? *** For fans who love heroines who use their brains as their primary weapon, this is for you.

    Gintama meets the end of the Victorian Era. The city of London had undergone a name change. It is now called Edo, after the foreigners from the East invaded the land. The European streets have integrated the imported goods of the Amanto, or as Gintoki liked to call them, "aliens" due to their strange style of dress and mannerism. Gintoki was known by the native residents of Edo as the "Jack of All Trades" or as the Amanto liked to call him "万事屋 銀"(Yorozuya Gin). On a particularly harsh winter, he witnessed a little boy craft a make-shift house out of the leftover scraps in the junkyard as a shelter from the cold. He decided to take in the orphan boy in order to help him with the business. He raises Sougo alongside his daughter, Kagura, the only memento left of his late wife excluding that mangy mutt of hers, Sadaharu. There had never been a dull moment since. As the years passed, the children grew taller, although Gintoki often wondered if they had grown any wiser as their fights had become increasingly violent and the damages to their surroundings had become more costly to repair. Sougo Okita possessed skilled hands, perfect for Gintoki, the owner of "Yorozuya", a flourishing business nowadays. Kagura, on the other hand, didn't really have a skill with tools, cooking, cleaning or really anything. Her only merit was her strength. It often seemed that she could rival the force of a thousand men any day. Her monstrous strength is reminiscent of her mother, of course. The format is a series of short stories (memories) mapping out Okita, Kagura and Gintoki's lives along with the strange people they meet. Just like an anime. Disclaimer: Hideaki Sorachi owns Gintama. *Check end of "Intro" for the new chapters. *Don't need to watch/read Gintama to understand, but they will act canon. *I do NOT own the cover, it was created beautifully by Cygnetzzz on: http://cygnetzzz.deviantart.com/art/Antique-shop-371256581
