Alicent Daemon

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!

Reforged from Ruin

Raika used to be a Cultivator. She lived in a sect, fought in tournaments, and cultivated to spite the heavens, as a cultivator should. While she was never the strongest, fastest or wisest, she held it in her heart to never, ever give up, and to stand for her ideals. And then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled. In a world with a sun made of flaming serpents, reality-defying entities running amok, and a timeless, all-knowing Emperor ruling all through the power of his Blades and the constant advances and experiments of his Divisions, Raika is less than worthless, unable to see and feel the blood of reality- but when it's surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a new path, Raika will find strange secrets, hidden paths to transformation, and abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and far more powerful than she ever thought possible. In a world replete with enslaved Daemons used as WMDs, reality-bending powers, eldritch-punk technology, and strange pathways of cultivation and magic, she'll have to find allies, confront gods and monster, and defy the Heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new. Facing a millenia-old Empire rife with corruption and unknown plans, impossible horrors from the edges of the world, Daemons, Witches, and her own broken soul, she won't stop until she's become truly free- but what will it cost, and can her insanity match the madness of the reality itself?

Das blinde Schicksal des Alphas

[Warnung: Enthält reifen Inhalt] "Hüte dich vor der Zunge einer bösen Frau. Denn sie kann eine Lüge erzählen, die die Welt umbringen würde." Die achtzehnjährige, verstoßene, wolfslose und blinde Zina wird in die Hauptstadt gerufen, um dem rücksichtslosen und gefürchteten Alphakönig des Nordens, berüchtigt als "Der König, der sich selbst gekrönt hat", eine Vision zu erzählen. Das Ergebnis von Zinas "falscher" Vision führt dazu, dass der Alpha-Prinz und künftige Alpha-Oberste, Daemon, aus der Hauptstadt verbannt wird, um an den Grenzen Kriege zu führen, wo ihn nur noch der Tod durch die Hände der berühmten Aufstrebenden Schurken und der noch berühmteren Deformierten erwartet. Aber Daemon überlebt Feuer, Blut und Klauen, und er überlebt nicht nur, sondern ist sechs Jahre später als Alpha Supreme zurück, getrieben von Rache an denen, die ihn zu Fall gebracht haben. Angefangen bei seinen Geschwistern bis hin zu dem achtzehnjährigen, jetzt vierundzwanzigjährigen Mädchen, das sein Schicksal mit bloßen Worten buchstabiert hat, schwört Daemon, niemanden ungeschoren zu lassen. Doch Zina ist sich ihres eigenen Verrats durchaus bewusst. Jetzt ist sie die Theta desselben mächtigen Werwolfhauses, gegen das sie die gefährliche Lüge erzählt hat, und nachdem sie die bittere Pille des Verrats von genau den Leuten geschmeckt hat, für die sie die gefährliche Lüge erzählt hat, ist sie nicht bereit, sich mit ihrem Schicksal abzufinden. Aber wie bringt man das Herz eines Mannes zum Schmelzen, den man einst ruiniert hat? Und wie kann man eine Frau zerstören, die vom ganzen Volk und vielleicht sogar von den Göttern geliebt wird? Daemon wird auf die harte Tour lernen, dass man nicht alle Rache nehmen und nicht alle Schulden eintreiben kann. Es gibt viele Geheimnisse, die deformierten Werwölfe werden sich erheben, und eine seltene Chance zur zweiten Paarung bietet sich den beiden ungewöhnlichsten Menschen. Und nun ist eine Sache sicher geworden - Daemon muss zuerst den Feind im Außen besiegen, bevor er ihr, die zum Feind seines Herzens geworden ist, wirklich gegenübertreten kann. **** Zina drückte sich mit dem Rücken an die Wand, als ein straffer Körper sie umklammerte und sich ihre Wärme mit ihm vermischte. Vier Jahre tödlicher Vorfreude hatten sich in diesem Moment kulminiert. Sein Flüstern streichelte ihr Ohr und jagte ihr Schauer über den Rücken, die nichts mit der Kälte in der Luft zu tun hatten. "Da du so gut Visionen hast, sag mir, Theta meines Hauses, siehst du den Tag, an dem du sterben wirst?" Sein Atem geisterte über ihre Haut und erinnerte sie an eine Schuld, die sie eintreiben musste. Sie schluckte und hielt ihren Stab fest umklammert, trotz des Körpers, der gegen ihren brannte, und antwortete entschlossen. "Ich fürchte, die Götter haben es mir noch nicht gezeigt." Der Mann über ihr lächelte spitzbübisch. Seine Lippen streiften ihr Ohr, sein heißer Atem sandte Wellen der Empfindung. "Ich glaube an all die Namen, die man mir gegeben hat, einer davon ist Gott. Also lass mich dir das sagen, was du nicht weißt... "Heute ist der Tag, an dem du sterben wirst."

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.

Strongest Demigod System

The year is 2055, and the world is being ravaged by monsters born from the veil, called Daemons. The only hope of humanity standing against these monsters are the Demigods who possess Divine Blessings from the Celestials. Azrael Mortis was a gifted demigod chosen by Thanatos, the personification of death. He possessed extraordinary talent in battle and a work ethic that pushed his body to its very peak, but an unfortunate turn of events when he was only one year old left him with no God Aspect that would allow him to fight against the Daemons. Azrael was already prepared for a life where he would never be able to become the strongest due to his disability. But as a new chapter of Azrael's life opened, he was presented with an opportunity by Thanatos—one that would grant him the power he had desperately wanted, in exchange for his humanity. ... "I do not give out opportunities lightly, Azrael. I shall only present you with my hand once, and never again. Take my blade and become my Angel of Death, and in exchange, I shall give you power. All the power you ever wished for and more. Power beyond your wildest dreams. What is your answer?" "I don't care what I have to do. If I can become stronger, I would even sell you my soul." "Then may this oath be witnessed by the River Styx. From this moment forward, you shall be known as Azrael, the Angel of Death." ... Leave a review if you like the novel and feel free to go crazy with the comments. I'll really appreciate it. And finally, Powerstones and GT are the life-blood of novels so I'd appreciate everything you can give.

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.

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.
