The Strange Groom's Cursed Bride

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVIL FALLS IN LOVE? *** Alice was told that she was cursed. Perhaps she didn't need to be told. It was as clear as day. The only thing she wanted was MONEY. And she would do anything to get it. Even if it meant pretending to be her twin sister to change her fate. For one year. She didn't mind being a fake and marrying the Wildfire Heir. He would barely be around, she had been told. 'He doesn't seem like much trouble,' she had also been told. 'The third son, on the other hand, is crazy. Stay away from him.' 'As for the second son... avoid him at all costs.' 'Do not cross his path.' But she did. She crossed his path. In fact, she went right into his path herself. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the groom was changed at the last minute. To the Second Son! He was as hot as he was cold. A terrifyingly sexy man who looked like the man she always saw in her dreams. Was this all merely a coincidence? But that wasn't all. She hadn't expected pretending to be her sister to be this tough. First of all, she missed a very important detail: her sister was a Lawyer. She, on the other hand, was only familiar with "You have the right to remain silent..." Secondly, her sister was picky. She was vegetarian. She didn't drink. And... she was bullied? And just maybe... there was more to her sudden disappearance. Her life was about to get much more complicated. Especially with those scary blue eyes watching her every move like a predator on a mission. One year. Was the benefit worth it—worth putting her life on the line to deceive the Wildfires? She might die before the year was over. **** "Women like powerful men, Boss. They like to feel powerless when they are with a man." Hades had initially scoffed, but the idea had wormed its way into his mind. So when he saw her coming from the opposite direction, he decided to test this theory on her. Women liked to feel powerless? As soon as she saw him, her gaze sharpened, wondering why that madman was looking at her with a determined glint in his eyes. Should she run away? But he was already in front of her. "What are you—" He scoops Alice off the ground in one swift motion and drapes her over his shoulder like a sack of flour. All shocked eyes turned to the scene, but no one dared say a word, as they froze mid-air. "HADES!! YOU IMBECILE! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" She thrashes wildly, kicking her legs and flailing her arms. Hades, however, remains unfazed, carrying her out of the place with a triumphant smirk. He didn't believe in love theories, but he had a feeling she would be falling in love with him after this. At the other end, three of his underling watched the scene. "I think Lady Boss is enjoying it. She looks… happy." One noted. The other underling tried to stare intently at Alice's upside-down face. "I think so... I've never seen her look so bubbly around the boss." The third underling was watching, slack-jawed. He facepalmed dramatically. This wasn't what he meant when he told them women liked to feel powerless. Meanwhile, Alice... (Still screaming) *** EXCERPT II: "She is not answering your calls and told you to STOP calling her. Boss, I think your little bride might be mad at you." He snorted. "You are so clueless." "What's your insight, Boss?" "If she keeps rejecting my calls, it only means one thing..." They all leaned closer to hear his powerful insight. "She wants my physical presence," he said with a smug look. One of them wanted to say he didn't think so, but he was too scared to say anything. "Should I go. Should I not go?" He contemplated with a bored look on his face. "GRANT HER WISH, BOSS!" The other clueless henchmen echoed passionately. He smirked. "If you say so," and then he stood up. "Get the car." **** Pleasee add to your library. A bit of dark and fluffy romance. 18+ Comedic. Makes you sit in the edge as Alice tries her best to never get caught (quite futile) See you in the comment section!

Abyssales Erwachen

Alice, die ihre Kindheit in Ketten verbrachte, war ein Kind, das weder Liebe noch Freude kannte. Von ihrer Familie verachtet und im Namen des Allgemeinwohls jahrelang gefoltert, wurde sie gefühllos und gedankenlos. Bis ihr eines Tages ein Mann in Schwarz eine Chance zur Flucht bot. Einst gab es Gerüchte über eine endlose Hölle, ein Land des glorreichen Todes und der schrecklichen Möglichkeiten. Dummköpfe machten sich auf die Suche danach, und die Klugen wagten sich nie dorthin. Erst als seine unheilvollen Geheimnisse auf die Erde gelangten, hörten alle seinen Namen - den Abgrund. Ein einziger Tropfen seines Blutes konnte jemandem die Macht verleihen, Schatten zu kontrollieren, sich schneller als der Schall zu bewegen oder stärker zu sein als der stärkste Mann. Doch all das hatte seinen Preis: Das Blut sorgte immer dafür, dass diejenigen, die es tranken, Teil des Abgrunds wurden - mit einer Ausnahme: Alice. Von ihrem eigenen Blut verstoßen, war es ihr Schicksal, in einem vergoldeten Käfig zu verrotten. Doch dieser schicksalhafte Tag änderte alles. Sie bekam eine zweite Chance im Leben, eine Chance, ihr Leben umzukrempeln und Rache an ihrer Familie zu nehmen, eine Chance, tief in den Abgrund einzutauchen und die Macht zu erlangen, ihr eigenes Schicksal zu lenken, und Alice nahm seine Hand, ohne zu ahnen, welches Schicksal sich vor ihr entfalten würde. Uneinigkeit: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Anmerkungen des Autors: Dies ist mein drittes Buch und ich werde das, was ich aus den vorherigen gelernt habe, nutzen, um mich zu verbessern. Dieses Buch wird sich auf die Handlung, die Action, die Tiefe der Charaktere und insgesamt auf einen dunkleren Ton in dieser grausamen Fantasy-Welt konzentrieren, die ich mir für dieses Buch ausgedacht habe! Wenn ihr dieses Buch ausprobiert, hoffe ich, dass es euch gefällt! Es ist eine ganz andere Erfahrung und ein ganz anderer Ton als Nanomancer Reborn.

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Abyssal Awakening

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

**Summary of the Novel:** *Alice, an alien girl from the distant "Cape Town Planet," finds herself stranded on Earth after losing her signal device. She is far from ordinary—Alice has superpowers and, when she inhales the hormones emitted by human males, she enters a "flowery state" that unlocks her deepest inhibitions. While trying to blend in with human society and repair her signal to return home, she encounters Edward, a powerful CEO who suffers from a mysterious condition: "rainy weather heterosexual amnesia." Whenever it rains, Edward forgets the women in his life, including Alice.* *Despite their otherworldly differences and Edward's strange affliction, a quirky and passionate romance blooms between them. Alice, using her alien abilities, helps Edward navigate the challenges of his life, while Edward finds in Alice something he’s been missing—a love that makes him feel truly valued. However, their budding relationship faces obstacles, including the rivalry between Edward and his brother Andrew for Alice’s affection, and Alice's inner conflict about staying on Earth versus returning to her home planet.* *As the rainstorms grow stronger and Edward's amnesia worsens, Alice becomes determined to help him, even as her own time on Earth grows short. The two share moments of love, laughter, and struggle, but in the end, Alice is forced to make the heartbreaking decision to return to her planet. Their love remains incomplete, leaving a sense of unfinished business between them.* *With Alice gone and Edward left with only fading memories of their time together, the story ends on a bittersweet note, promising that their love story will continue in a second season, where they will fight against the odds to reunite across the stars.*

A Courtyard of Roses

Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s. With luck, she soon gained connections to the rich and powerful of this new world— the nobility. However, how much of it was good and how much of it would eventually be detrimental? After all, mingling with royals not only meant extravagance and daily parties. It also meant warfare and death. Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** “And what if you, too, are unable to help?” Alice threw the question back. “What if helping would risk everything?” Spade didn’t miss a beat. “You are everything.” “Don’t say things that you don’t mean,” Alice chided. “You’ll leave a trail of broken hearts.” “And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?” Spade countered. “However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content.” *** Image used in cover not mine.
