The footsteps sounded closer, and closer, and closer, until he faintly heard Siri's voice welcoming someone into the house, but before he could open his eyes to see who it was, he felt a large hand gripping his neck, his legs were locked tightly between much larger ones, and, he felt the cold metal of a gun placed directly on his...gun. Zeno quickly opened his eyes from instincts, ready to fight off his attacker, but the moment he did so, he was met with mesmerizing dark grey orbs, staring dangerously at him. The face of his attacker was too close, he couldn't make out his features, but he knew they were sharp, even from a closed look. He didn't bother fighting, he didn't want to lose his junior member down there, and his Nana still expected grandchildren from him. He couldn't disappoint her. "Who. Are. You?" The voice of his attacker was so deep, dark, and commanding. Zeno was a fighter, but he felt a chill run down his spine from the sound of the voice. The hand around Zeno's neck tightened, but he endured it, he was a fighter. Judging by his attacker's looks and actions of confidence, this was his boss. ~~~ After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill, Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long; after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return to that place again. But after a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard. Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love? After the betrayal from his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being. He became cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear. He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself. But, not until his son's manny came into the picture. Zeno irritated him in every way, he hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have chosen to kill him if not for the sake of his son. Sebastian always tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible. But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son that needed Zeno? ~~~ "What are you waiting for? Leave!" Sebastian snarled bitterly. He would have to speak with Butler Nicole to find out why he brought back this stupid clown to his house. He had just returned from yet another trip, just to find this nuisance in his house again. He hated Zeno so much; he was classless and looked extremely dangerous to be near his son; who knew if he was sent as a snitch by an enemy? "I'm sorry, boss, but I can't," Zeno said and stood his ground. Leaving would mean he wanted his Nana to die; no, he'd rather stay here and take all punches that came his way; he was used to it. "What?!" Sebastian couldn't believe that such stupid people were still existing in the world. "I can't leave," Zeno repeated.

Some guys lay waste of alcohol with girls over them.  Ladies dancing to the music in an almost synchronized other.  The focus is on a group of girls at a V.I.P. table taking shots and chit chatting. And then a hopeless gentleman being dragged to their middle. He had on a white T shirt with polka dots all over like a cow skin. He was made to stand before them. His mouth was agape many times, speaking and then agap again. The muse in the girls eyes as it glit severally positing their joy in his mystery. But what could possibly go wrong? It’s just a regular guy with some girls in their mid-twenties fresh from college in their miniskirts and revealing tops.  The noise around was sapped in to focus on this disagreeing little group.  “Zin Donghee don’t tell me you forgot your wallet again?” The girl in the middle of a total of five girls spoke up. Her face was red, red with embarrassment  with her twenty-nine years old boyfriend standing in front of her like a moron. No, a moron, standing before her. She clenched tight to her red purse, pushing it aside. “I’m sorry babe. I had to rush down on your call-“ “On your call” she mimics him. And the rest of the girls began to laugh. She eyed him. Zin Donghee had been working overnight  with the Manager of the bank where he worked as a mere messenger, running errands, his boss had some editing to do before the branch's supervision team arrive tomorrow and had gone out to get his boss coffee when his twenty-four years old girlfriend called him. She sounded as though she was going to die if he had not taken her calls or dropped what he was doing, risking his job as always to come rescue her. He smiled to himself, commending himself as he even walked passed the crowd of wasted youths, scouting for his short hair girlfriend and her crew. He managed to get through the crowd and found them at their Favourite spot at Cuckoo Club and resort. “I’m sorry, i must have left it on my Boss’ desk.” He said with miserable look on his face, with his eyes tearing up.  She shifted uncomfortably, screening him all over as he shook in fear of the unknown. She twitched her mouth. What was she going to do? She had promised her girls a night out, bills on her at the end of this month, like every other month. And had called her moron boyfriend to come sort their bills . The waiter had been standing their with a long slip of their bills. Her eyes itched. She didn’t even want to see the total cost of what they’d ordered. She had waited until this evening to get a credit alert from him but she didn’t, he didn’t transfer the half he promised.  She eyed him again. He stood looking like he’d pee on himself any moment from now. She said a silent prayer, hoping history won’t repeat itself. She sighed, disgusted by his countenance. “What about your salary?” She twitched her mouth, scratching her head. “You didn’t send the half of it like you do every month. You stopped sending the whole thing on the excuse you need to save up for rent. Now no money?” “Eunbi I swear I have that figured-“   “Oh shut your trash “ she cuts in. “If you had sent the miserable half I wouldn’t have had to call you up. Tell me, how useless can you get?” At this point, the eyes of the other girls pop  outed in amusement. It was about to get spicy between the duo. They adjusted as she stood up from their

Ranked from F to the legendary SSS, hunters risk their lives to clear these dungeons and harvest the valuable crystal shards dropped by defeated creatures. Vanitas Estroheim, a frail and struggling F-rank hunter, is the weakest of the weak. Mocked by peers and barely scraping by, he fights only to pay off crushing hospital bills for his comatose mother. His life is a constant cycle of humiliation and desperation, with no hope for improvement. When Vanitas joins a raid on a C-rank dungeon far beyond his abilities, disaster strikes. The portal turns violet—a sign of an unstable dungeon—and the team is thrown into chaos. Trapped inside with no way out, Vanitas and his team face a terrifying creature that wipes them out one by one. On the verge of death, a mysterious voice speaks to Vanitas: “Do you wish to live?” With nothing to lose, he accepts—and awakens to a new power that could change everything. Now, Vanitas must rise from the bottom, uncover the truth behind the dungeons, and carve out his destiny in a world that sees him as worthless. The journey to the top will be brutal, but he has no intention of staying at the bottom. Can the weakest hunter defy fate and become the strongest? ------ '4-5 chapters a week' If i dont upload some chapters, im quite busy on something hehe. Hope You find this Book Interesting *Wink.
