Isolated and judged, she must find the strength to rebuild her life while protecting those she loves.

Everyone has desires; whether it's for wealth, women, or power, but to achieve any of those things everyone needs one thing, strength. Strength could mean many things however, our protagonist never had any kind of strength and lived his entire life unfulfilled, drowning in his own mediocrity. Until one day everything changed and he found himself transmigrated into a cultivation world.

“You are a selfish, insecure, and jealous person, Esme. I'm sick of you. I want you out of my life,” Julian Ray, my fiancé yelled at me. Selfish? Insecure? Jealous? I only tried to keep that bitch away from him. Was he expecting me to sit idly and watch her snatch my fiancé? Julian removed the engagement ring and threw it at me. “We are done.” He just ended our relationship, smashing my hopes and shattering my heart. I loved him since I was a child and grew up with the dream to be his wife. I was overjoyed when I was finally betrothed to him two years ago. Julian was always ambitious. He did not want to settle down and married so soon since he wanted to be successful in his career. I did everything I could to make him happy and achieve his goal. When he finally got his desired job and position, he forgot about me and cheated on me. He had forgotten my favor, my sacrifices, and my love for him. “I love you, Julian. Please don’t break up with me,” I begged. He didn’t listen to me. He coldly asked me to get out of his life. “I never loved you, Esme. Just get lost.” I was devastated. This was not the life I had imagined. He simply couldn't leave my life after ruining me and breaking my heart. I decided to teach him a lesson for cheating on me. I hooked up with his boss, Silas Sullivan, the handsome billionaire, the desire of every woman. And guess what, my ex-boyfriend crawled back to me and begged my forgiveness. “My heart is breaking, Esme. I-I want you back. Please forgive me.” I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head with disbelief. “Are you kidding me, Mister Ray? Forgive you! No way.” I smiled triumphantly as I won the game. Julian would regret hurting me, and he would come after me for my forgiveness. But little did I know I had already made a grave mistake by meddling with Silas Sullivan. =============== His imposing figure towered over me as he pressed me against the wall in his office. “Playing games with me, Miss Shaw. With Silas Sullivan! You have no idea who you have provoked. Prepare to face the consequences." He gripped my neck, digging his nails into my flesh. I trembled in fear. I could see hell in his burning, dark eyes. ================== You can check on my other books.

I had spent years carefully building my portfolio, making smart investments, and growing my savings. Now, all of that seemed to be gone in an instant. I couldn’t believe this was happening. It felt like everything I had worked for was slipping through my fingers. I tried to fix the issue on my own for weeks. I reinstalled wallet software, searched for old backups, and even reached out to different online communities for advice. But no matter what I did, nothing worked. Every day I felt more hopeless and lost. I started to think that maybe I would never see my Bitcoin again. contact@ digitaltechguard .com telegram +56 997 059 700 As a last resort, I turned to Reddit for help, hoping that someone, somewhere, had the solution. That’s where I first heard about DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY. There were a few posts from people who had shared similar stories, and they praised the company for helping them recover their lost cryptocurrency. At that point, I figured I had nothing left to lose and decided to reach out. From the very first message, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY made me feel like I wasn’t alone. They listened to my story and really seemed to care about helping me. They didn’t make any outrageous promises but were very upfront about what they could and couldn’t do, which I really appreciated. After already being scammed by so-called “experts” in the past, their honesty and professionalism made all the difference. To my absolute relief, within just a few days, they managed to access my wallet and recover every last Bitcoin. I couldn’t believe it—it was like being given a second chance at life. Seeing my funds restored brought tears to my eyes. I went from thinking I’d lost nearly a million dollars to feeling like I had my future back in my hands. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY’s professionalism, transparency, and technical skill saved me from what could have been financial ruin. They gave me back everything I thought was lost forever. If you’re ever in a situation like mine, don’t hesitate to reach out to them. You won’t regret it. They truly came through, and I can’t thank them enough.

Brief Notes for Those That Don't Want to Waste Their Time: +The chapters will be between 1000-2000 words and I will write until I feel like the chapter is over I don't like cliffhangers +As the title says, the story will follow the daily life of a powerful archvampire that interested in Alchemy. - So if you're looking for a novel with great plot twists, an overpowered main character making cool entrances and saving delicate female leads etc, you're in the wrong place. +The main character will use his power to entertain himself and find something to do with his endless free time. While doing that he causes something that he wasn't aware of... +And he doesn't like to leave his castle but over time this might change with the interactions he will have with female leads. +If you're not interested in mc's backstory, you don't have to read synopsis **** After centuries of war and slaughter, the Archvampire Jasper Shaw had finally become the most powerful being. The only one who could match him was the Demon King Asmodeus himself. But there was no chance of them fighting to each other, they were childhood friends from centuries ago. Jasper had achieved his goal, he was the strongest, he had no rivals. He had everything he wanted in the palm of his hand and of course he enjoyed it to the fullest. Wealth, women, authority, everyone in the world bowed down and offered gifts to gain his favor. Like that centuries passed... Jasper had gotten bored with everything. The endless time he had without a purpose became a prison for him. He created a castle for himself near the castle of his ancient friend Asmodeus and did not come out of it for three hundred years. He spent the first decade of this period sleeping in his coffin, which was the longest decade of his life. After a decade, Jasper decided to get out of his coffin and find a hobby. He played silly games by himself, drew pictures, wrote articles, poems and eventually got bored with all of it. In time he became interested in various types of magic but he quickly mastered in every magic so this hobby became boring to him as well. For a while he even became a gourmet; he tasted the blood of many different adventurers of different races, weights and sizes who came to his castle for different reasons, and he had a lot of fun while tasting that bloods. In the process, he didn't talk to anyone, he just watched them and somehow managed to get their blood, but of course there was one exception. That exception was an elf named Kael and over time the two of them developed a friendship based on mutual interest... After two centuries passed like that, Jasper finally found something that really interested him and that he was not very skilled at, Alchemy! But of course, he was not very skilled only for his standards. He spent ninety years doing Alchemy, he was still enjoying it, but he was running out of ideas to do something with alchemy. Right around this time his friend Kael told him that he was not going to visit him no more. Kael had been giving him his blood when he visited him, now Jasper would either have to talk to someone or find a way to get their blood again. Of course, Jasper was no longer the old Jasper, he was very picky about blood, so he had to find someone suitable and keep them visiting the castle, and of course he had to come up with new ideas to continue his hobby...

"You're a monster." "Aye. That I may be. But you'll soon realize, you're a monster too." His breath tickled the hairs on my nape, causing my skin to prickle with awareness of how close we were. His left hand on my waist, touching the bare skin just above my hip, his right arm against the wall by my head. I was trapped, and I found myself realizing that I didn't mind it for once.

However, she doesn’t realize she stowed away on one of the worlds most dangerous and rough places for a girl to be: Neptune’s Judgement.
