One fine day, a girl opens her fridge only to find a dragon inside, to her horror! Shocked, she does not know what to do. Also, the dragon has magical powers to entrance her. But the girl successfully escapes the dragon.

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery." Ding Dong "Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone. "Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave. "Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." "Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. "I'm hungry. Let's talk food first." "Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked. Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'" In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently. "Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!" "But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!" "... what's your reason?" "A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job." "No." "Pretty please" "No!" "Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~" "I'm not that cheap." "Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!" "Deal." In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?" "No.. sir" "Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!" "Yes!" *THERE IS NO RAPE OR ANY SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS NOVEL. BUT WARNING OF 18+ CONTENT* The book cover is not mine, credits go to the original author.

At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who struggles to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (when he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge. On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player. Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they’re far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is predictably gaming. Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life? Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?

Lara has just been released from prison but with no credentials, how can she move on with her life? Things are indeed complicated... Julian is puzzling about the girl's behaviour. He saw her raise an eyebrow at him before ignoring him again. That's an outright dismissal and he can't help but be interested... His heart leapt a bit. Perhaps this is the person that he's looking for? He slowly went to the girl and said in a straightforward manner, "I need someone to pretend to be my fiancee for one month. I'll give you one million for your services. Do you agree? " The girl just laughed at him. "I just got out from prison. Will that be a problem? " Julian was simply dumbfounded. "What?"

[밤알바] https://www.9alba.com Both Belle and her husband behaved heroically during the sinking, helping multiple people put on their life jackets and assisting other passengers with getting into boats. They were separated in the water and she never saw him again. When a lifeboat approached, Belle insisted that they pull someone else in instead of her, but a man told her that she was the only person he could reach and so she allowed him to pull her up. She asked him to write his name on the inside of her shoe “lest in the experience to follow I might forget.” Passengers who survived along with Belle remembered her for having a positive and encouraging attitude on the lifeboat. Before I close, I’d like to leave an honorary mention here for Margaret Gwyer, a honeymooner who was sucked into the sinking Lusitania’s funnel and promptly blown back out again (but she didn’t actually land IN a lifeboat, as later embellishments would have it, just NEAR a lifeboat, which turned out to be just as good since its occupants pulled her in). In one of the few happy endings from this terrible day, she and her new husband were reunited. She was so covered in soot that at first he didn’t recognize her, but she said, “Never mind, we’ve lost those awful wedding presents.” If that isn’t Kickass, I don’t know what is.

The first time was a coincidence. Second time could be called good timing. Third time is destiny. The first time they met, they were both cosplaying at an Anime Convention. Coincidentally, she was Usagi Tsukino, and he happened to be Tuxedo Mask from the anime, Sailor Moon. Their first gaze caught his attention. Her first smile swept his heart away. She walked towards him, and he was ready to take off the mask to talk to her. Unfortunately, it was all a misunderstanding. This was their first time crossing paths, but he facepalmed so hard when he realized he got the wrong idea that he changed his "Hi," into an anime's title, "Hitman Reborn." At that time, he watched her approach another person who acted as Tuxedo Mask behind him. The smile she had on her face wasn't towards him. It was a mistake. Two months later Second time they met was at their graduation. His brother, Lucas, flew back from overseas to attend his graduation in place of his parents. After taking countless pictures with his brother and some with friends, they left campus. Inside his black Mercedes, his brother shoved several well taken photos and showed it to him. Just when he was about to answer his regular plain response, the words swallowed back down his throat. He held his brother's phone and zoomed in to the back where he saw her again! Once again, a facepalm landed on his face as he couldn't believe that there could be such timing. He could've gotten her name! After a few days later, he got off his shift late and realized that he didn't go grocery shopping. Since his fridge was empty, he decided to have his meal at a newly opened Szechuan Spicy Bowl restaurant. "It shouldn't take that long to get a seat at this time.." Or so he thought. When he got there, the place was full and he didn't have much patience since he was alone. Right when he was about to leave, the waiter asked if he minded sharing a table. "Sure." He sat down across from the girl and ordered from the menu. When she took a few napkins to wipe her nose, he took the chance to thank her for sharing the table. And there she was with her Beyond Human level spicy bowl... Although they only exchanged a few words, he found her very interesting. A girl eating at this hour without caring about her weight and her surrounding. She was adorable. The clumsy her forgot her newly printed business cards at her seat when she left. "Lily Jiang," he smiled. He thought of bringing this to her when he is free, but who knew that they would meet again at the hospital? His lips twitched when he faced his new patient, "Hello, Miss. Jiang, I am Lin Que, your doctor for this visit. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He looked at the medical report in hand as he couldn't believe his luck with this girl.

If you read any of my other works you know I don't righteous heroes and usually go out of my way to make my protagonists take a more selfish and sadistic approach as an answer for everything. So for this character I am going to try for a more gradual slide towards evil rather than the straight shot I'm used to if you think I'm back on the slide for hell too soon let me know and I'll try to correct it somewhere else but remember at the end this is not a hero story or one of redemption he is going to be villain he is going to do horrific things granted he will be doing later on but in certain circumstances he might do them in the moment if that bothers you please read something else I am not a professional writer and this is only for fun so don't expect high quality work helpful tips are appreciated but I'll ignore those who go to far with their comments ......

…” Mommy! Mommy! Look what I made you.” I jumped up and down proud of my little creation. Four stick figures each with our names above. I ran and handed it to her. She smiled and scooped me up hugging my small frame. “Oh Akira, it's amazing it deserves to be in an art gallery.” She put me down and went to put it in the fridge along with all my other pictures. She turned back to me smiling. “Are you hungry?” I nodded and tried to jump up onto the chair but missed slipping to the floor. My mom ran over and scooped me up looking all over, I giggled trying to wiggle out of her grasp. “Mommy, I want mac’n’cheese.” She laughed but put me down on the chair and started making my favorite food. I started to play with the silverware when Aleki came in and sat in the chair beside me. Mommy turned and smiled at him then went back to cooking. He turned to me with an evil looking grin he brought his hand up and put something in front of me. A spider crawled towards me and I screamed. “GET IT AWAY!!” Mommy turned around and grabbed the spider just in time before it got to me. I looked over at Aleki who was laughing at me. “That was mean.” Just as he was going to say something Daddy ran into the house looking worried. “Get to the basement now.”
