Heart of Cherry Blossoms

AD_Ahad
Beneath the canopy of cherry blossoms, where the world feels suspended in time, Akira and Hana have always found solace in each other. From childhood friends to something deeper, their bond has grown as naturally as the petals that drift from the ancient tree overlooking their town. For Akira, every moment with Hana is a step closer to his dream—painting their shared future with colors of love and endless possibilities. But as the vibrant hues of spring begin to fade, Akira notices a distance in Hana's once-luminous eyes, a sadness she can no longer hide. Their once care-free days of laughter and shared dreams have begun to unravel into quiet moments filled with unsaid words. Akira feels it in his chest—a weight he doesn’t understand but can’t shake. He’s ready to tell her how he feels, to offer her a future as beautiful and enduring as their love for each other, but something is holding Hana back. As they sit together under the cherry blossom tree, Akira feels the fragile pulse of time slipping away from them. The petals that once symbolized renewal now seem to represent something more fleeting—a love caught in the delicate space between hope and despair. While Akira’s heart beats with the anticipation of the life they could share, Hana remains haunted by a secret she can’t bear to tell him. "Heart of Cherry Blossoms" is a touching tale of two souls intertwined by fate and bound by love, yet confronted with the painful truth of life’s impermanence. As Akira and Hana navigate the fine line between holding on and letting go, they must come to terms with the reality that even the most beautiful moments, like the bloom of the cherry blossoms, are fleeting. In this deeply emotional story, love is not just about finding someone to share a future with—it’s about cherishing the moments that may soon be lost forever.

The Power of +1 [Progression Fantasy, LitRPG about Money]

For more chapters and discussion about +1, please support me on my Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/coffeetimewriting Theo Sterling, a ruthlessly ambitious corporate climber, is violently ejected from his career and finds himself facing the poverty he desperately fears. With only $2,000 between him and the streets, a mysterious mental breakdown leaves him with an impossible gift, the power to grant any object a permanent "+1" enhancement. Driven by his gnawing terror of failure, Theo begins methodically exploiting his unique ability, with the aim of becoming a billionaire. From enhancing basic knives for quick cash (and cutting ethical corners when necessary), to optimizing high-value bicycles for substantial profit, he relentlessly seeks ways to maximize the return on each precious enhancement. Navigating a mundane world with his special power, Theo readily pushes ethics aside, believing ruthlessness is the only path to the almighty profit. As he dives headfirst into more questionable and morally grey endeavours, his bank account swells, but does this solitary climb built on calculated risks lead only to an isolating peak? Or is there a heavier, unseen cost to Theo’s singular pursuit of money? What to Expect: - Money, lots of it, it's all about money! - Progression Fantasy, tracking Theo's path to becoming a billionaire, or die trying - Low fantasy, ability to enhance items with +1, and the ingenious ways of using this to make money - LitRPG used to track profit and losses using a ledger, the measure of wealth and success - Ethics and Morals... nah not really. Theo is as grey as it gets. May come into play later, but only after getting rich, ridiculously rich - 4-5k words per chapter (or more sometimes) Schedule - Daily release (1.5-2k words).
