Path Of Exile The Puppet Mistress

After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half. An extra. Someone seemingly irrelevant to the plot. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—fate had other plans, and Leo soon discovered that being a mere extra was not his destiny after all. -------------------------------------- Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

Time is something unnecessary for someone like me, a Cultivator. Recently, I’ve been feeling quite bored, so I was casually browsing the internet when I stumbled upon an article titled "The Post-80s Generation, Us!" After reading it, I was surprised—after all, I too belong to the Post-80s generation. But... I am a true Cultivator. When I was in elementary school, I didn’t even know what money was. By the time I reached university, I had already made significant progress in my cultivation, and money became just a material possession to me. Occasionally, I earned some, but I donated it all to the local school in my hometown. After graduation, while my classmates were struggling to find jobs just to make ends meet, I was traveling and living a carefree life. When housing prices in the city were soaring, I was living in the sky. While people around me had no homes or cars, and couldn’t even find a wife, I was sneaking around, hiding here and there, with many kind-hearted women wanting to marry me... Sigh...! It’s amazing how people of the same generation can live such vastly different lives. I think cultivation is still the best!

“This time is different. After the 14th failure, after the 14th death—this time, it’s different. I have my powers. I will kill you this time. I will not fail again, DEMON KING!” BAM! The door flew open. “Aurelia?” “You’re late for breakfast!” came the sharp, innocent voice. Ronan turned to see her—Aurelia, a fiery, pigtailed girl with bright eyes and an impatient frown. He couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s go,” he said, standing to follow her. She didn’t know it yet, but she was humanity’s destined hero, the ultimate weapon against the Demon King. And for the first time, Ronan truly understood—he couldn’t win this war alone. To destroy the Demon King, he had to shape Aurelia into the hero she was born to be. Together, they would end the cycle of failure. This time, victory would be theirs. Note:- My story doesn't have a harem, nor will there be a love triangle, although there are a few admirers of the male lead. It is a straightforward narrative with no unnecessary delays, and the story ends around 300 to 400 chapters.

In a godless world where races places unshaken trust in themselves—despite a long history of flawed and reckless decisions—people have crowned themselves as gods, blind to their folly.

“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.” She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed. When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding. But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married. ‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’ * After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT. To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention. As she also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice. However... What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan? Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her? EXCERPT: “Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?” Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?” Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan. “You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!” Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost. “Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist. Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them. He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.” Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….” Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.” “What do you mean by that?” she pouted. “What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.” * * * ~Be ready for many twists ~Novel was ENDING at Chapter 400.

"Have you ever wondered why an ordinary person suddenly reincarnates in a world of magic, cultivation, or apocalypse? Why, out of nowhere, a system appears in their mind, promising power and glory? Why a legendary tower emerges, daring anyone to conquer it? Why, in a zombie apocalypse, monsters evolve... and so do you? Why some are sent back to the past, armed with memories of a future they desperately hope to change? And above all, why, in every one of these stories, there’s always someone: a reincarnated soul, a regressor, a hero with absurd powers, or a villain wielding impossible artifacts? These clichés, these so-called destinies, these miracles? They’re nothing but tests. Experiments. These heroes and villains are nothing more than my guinea pigs, variables in an equation I’m perfecting. Every world, every power, every tragedy... they are all my creations. I am Kael Atrius Vastreal. Let my name be etched into your existence for eternity."
