Did People Die In The Baltimore Bridge Collapse

The Earth was torn apart, reshaped into an endless dungeon—a brutal labyrinth of blood-soaked corridors, twisted monsters, and stages that grow more terrifying with every level. The rules of survival have changed: gather coins, and use them to buy anything you desire. Power, safety, even happiness—everything has a price. For Lex, there’s only one thing he craves: death. But in this world, where coins can buy anything, even that is out of reach. Cursed with the power "Die to Begin," every time Lex dies, he's resurrected at the start, trapped in an endless loop of survival and torment. All he wants is enough coins to finally purchase the one thing that he had been seeking for countless lifetimes—an end. In this nightmare, where money can truly buy anything, Lex will sacrifice everything, even his humanity, just to escape the endless suffering.

But a mysterious bridge appears at the first light of dawn, connecting the two lands before vanishing at midnight.

Die göttliche Ärztin Wei Ruo, die sich in eine Nebenfigur eines Romans verwandelt hatte, wurde zehn Jahre lang auf dem Land ausgesetzt, ohne dass jemand etwas von ihr hörte, und wurde erst zurückgebracht, als sie dreizehn Jahre alt wurde. Alle sahen, dass sie ihre Tage damit verbrachte, nur Blumen, Kräuter und Feldfrüchte zu pflanzen, und hielten sie daher zweifellos für eine einfache Bäuerin. Als die echte Tochter unter den echten und falschen Töchtern der Geschichte wollte Wei Ruo sich weder in den männlichen Protagonisten verlieben noch mit der weiblichen Hauptfigur um die Gunst konkurrieren. Sie war einzig und allein darauf konzentriert, Geld zu verdienen, Geld zu verdienen, Geld zu verdienen! Während sich die falsche Tochter noch Sorgen machte, dass Wei Ruos Rückkehr ihren Status beeinträchtigen könnte, hatte Wei Ruo im Stillen bereits ein kleines Vermögen angehäuft. Während die falsche Tochter noch versuchte, die Aufmerksamkeit des männlichen Protagonisten auf sich zu ziehen, war Wei Ruo bereits eine reiche Geschäftsfrau.

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise wollte sich gerade in das Kleid umziehen, das in der Ecke ihres Bettes lag, als sie ein leises Klopfen an ihrer Tür hörte. Neugierig drehte sie den Türknauf und sah einen großen Mann vor sich aufragen. "Meister Ian!" rief sie. Ian lächelte mit dem üblichen schelmischen Grinsen, das er immer benutzte. Seine purpurroten Augen wanderten ein wenig durch ihr Zimmer und entdeckten das schwarze Kleid über ihrem Bett, dann richtete er seinen Blick auf die Frau, die vor ihm stand. Er trat einen Schritt vor und sprach. "Woher haben Sie dieses Kleid?" "Mr. Harland hat es mir geschenkt." antwortete Elise und reckte den Hals, um zu sehen, wie sich Ians Brauen in seiner Eleganz zusammenzogen. "Weißt du, warum ein Mann einer Frau gerne ein Kleid schenkt?" Er gab das Rätsel auf, bei dem sie immer zweimal überlegen musste, bevor sie antwortete. Doch dieses Mal fand sie keine Antwort und schüttelte stattdessen den Kopf. "Ich weiß es nicht." Sein Grinsen wurde betörend, als hätte sich tief in seinen scharlachroten Augen etwas geregt. Langsam ließ er seine Hand über den Kragen ihres Kleides gleiten, was ihr einen kalten Schauer über den Rücken jagte, der sie für einen Moment erschreckte, da es eiskalt war. Nachdem er die ersten beiden Knöpfe ihres Kragens geöffnet hatte, neigte er den Kopf nach unten und flüsterte ihr ins Ohr. "Weil sie derjenige sein wollen, der den Stoff auszieht." Er hielt inne und küsste ihren Hals, wobei sich die blasse Haut rötlich verfärbte, bevor er seine Bewegung zurückzog, sie mit seinen Augen fixierte und gemächlich antwortete. "Leider kannst du das Kleid da drüben damit nicht tragen." Er gluckste und reichte ihr eine Schachtel in die Hand. "Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich ein Kleid für dich vorbereitet habe." Elise war ein verfluchtes kleines Mädchen, das Geister sehen konnte. Ihre Familie hasste sie und schmiss sie von einer Adoptivfamilie zur nächsten. Doch das Unglück kam nicht allein. Als sie von ihrer Tante aufgezogen wurde, wurde sie als Sklavin verkauft. Als sie dachte, sie würde nur ein Opfer für den Zauberer werden, wurde sie von einem Mann gerettet, dessen Identität ganz anders war als die eines normalen Fabelwesens. *** Dieses Buch ist ORIGINAL und keine Übersetzung Autorendiskord beitreten: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

"You and I need to declare to them that we are dating." "Neither stingy love nor false feelings tell of the inner beauty of a person. Only purity in the soul, to which people's gaze is subject, is worthy to cause amazement about the fullness of the person in whom that trait is placed." "Do you know what that made me realize?"
