Luca The Bear

"In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a battlefield, how far would you go to protect your heart?" Lia Romano thought she had escaped the chains of her past. Once the cherished wife of Dante Moretti-Il Leone, the most ruthless billionaire in Milan-she walked away with nothing but her dignity and a secret too precious to share. Her divorce was a scandal whispered in every corner of high society, but no one knew the truth: that Lia was framed for a crime she didn't commit. Now, three years later, Lia has rebuilt her life as a celebrated marketing strategist, fiercely guarded by her seven overprotective brothers, all CEOs ruling Italy's most powerful industries. But when her new job forces her to work under Dante, old wounds resurface, and so does the undeniable spark between them. Dante's world is thrown into chaos when he discovers her secret-Matteo, the son he never knew he had. As Dante fights to reclaim the family he lost, he must also face a web of conspiracies threatening to destroy everything. From Vittoria Conti, the venomous socialite who dreams of becoming Mrs. Moretti, to Alessandra Ricci, the jealous colleague hell-bent on Lia's downfall, enemies lurk at every corner. With scheming villains, jealous rivals, and shocking betrayals, Lia and Dante's love story is anything but simple. Torn between her past and her future, Lia must decide: Can she forgive the man who broke her heart, or will the shadows of his world consume them both? Amid fiery boardroom battles, luxurious galas, and emotional confrontations, La Rosa e il Leone is a tale of redemption, family loyalty, and a love that refuses to fade—even when the odds are stacked against it. "He called her his rose, but roses have thorns—and this time, she wouldn't let him bleed her dry." Will Dante prove himself worthy of Lia's love? Or will the scheming forces around them tear them apart forever?

This story takes place during medieval periods. Swords, spears, bows and daggers were weapons commonly used in this world. This world also has magic and monsters, demons, angels and even dragons and gods. This world also has ranking from commoners to nobles and alot of discrimination, but our main character is someone different. On a shiny day, a tall (6'2 in height) slender boy with a little pale skin with black messy spikey short hair was walking in the streets. He had golden eyes and a face which was not bad looking, he was above average. The boy's age seemed to be around 21. His face didn't showed any happiness. He was walking expressionless, like a walking statue. The streets were not so clean, there were few shops and few people buying foods,weapons and slaves. The boy does not seem to care about anything, he felt nothing. The boy's name was Lucas Laaran. Lucas didn't knew for what purpose he was born, but according to his past he knew he was born to be used by others. Lucas didn't liked it, it made him feel the rage and anger in his body, but how long would he stay like that?, He accepted the reality and he decided to get stronger by doing anything, even if it meant to sacrifice his looks, body and blood. Lucas decided to buy a small dagger, so he just did that. Later he went to the forest and started to search for monsters to kill, so he could sell them in the adventurers guild. Many people loves to be an adventurer or an hero, but for Lucas it's different. He never wanted to save others, he only cares about him barely, but before a long time ago, he would love to save others, but unfortunate things happened to him, so he developed hatred towards his own race. While Lucas was searching for monsters he saw few goblins dragging few people in chains. It seems like they are getting kidnapped, well it's common because goblins needed few creatures for few purposes. Lucas saw the goblin's numbers were low and the goblins are F rank monsters. Lucas was a D rank adventurer which gave Lucas am advantage. Lucas then analysed how much goblins were there in number and how much people were there. There was a total number of 12 goblins with 7 people. Lucas decided to attack them and threw one dagger at a goblin which striked the goblin's throat instantly killing it, then Lucas lunged at another goblin and slammed it in the ground and took the spear it had and stabbed it to death and threw it's corpse to another goblin. The sudden ambush got the goblins off-guard, but those pesky little craps got angered instead of getting scared. It was a mistake because Lucas casted a fireball and it burnt 3 goblins, alive. There were only 7 more remaining while one is unconscious because it got hit by a goblin corpse and it was enough to knock it. Lucas only needed to fight 6 more goblins and he was armed with the new spear he took from a goblin. "Demon system, summon demon daggers." As Lucas said it, out of nowhere 6 demon daggers came from a mysterious golden yellow portal and striked the remaining goblins and ending their life. Then Lucas went to the unconscious goblin and used the spear to stab it on the throat while the survivors who got kidnapped by the goblins were watching. They saw Lucas as an saviour and they were in awe after witnessing Lucas's power, but unfortunate for them, Lucas only killed those goblins to sell their parts and weapons. He never had an intention to help the survivors. Lucas stared at the survivors and they were screaming "thanks for help. Can you now release us from the cages?", But unfortunate for them, Lucas saw few ornaments in their body and it would be useful for his powers. The survivors didn't knew the value of the ornaments or a artifact. Lucas had a system to grow his power, but he couldn't grow it quickly because he didn't had proper equipments and his system needed a specific ornament called golden demon necklace and one of the survivors had it in their neck and it was a little girl.

His tone was calm, but the slight twitch in his jaw betrayed his frustration. "Why?" Ren Yuxin asked, her voice overly cautious, taking a step back instead of forward. "Just come here." His patience was running thin. Ren Yuxin crossed her arms and tilted her head dramatically. "No! You’re going to hit me!" Su Yuanzhou froze, staring at her in disbelief. A few students nearby stifled their laughter, pretending not to watch the exchange. "I’m not going to hit you," he said, exasperated. "Do I look like that kind of person?" "Yes."

Because I accidentally sent that embarrassing video of you singing in the shower to our group chat," she admitted in a small voice, her eyes darting away. Su Yuanzhou’s face darkened instantly. He felt every shred of his dignity crumbling. "Accidentally?" he repeated, his voice rising. "It really was an accident!" Ren Yuxin protested, raising her hands defensively. "I didn’t mean to press send!" "Accident or not, you’re dead," Su Yuanzhou said, stepping toward her with purpose. "See! You are going to hit me!" she squealed, turning on her heels and running off. "Get back here!" he yelled, chasing after her.
