Why Does Blackbeard Have Two Devil Fruits

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched; Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat; Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot; In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!” In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality! Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension... They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree! Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world. Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream: Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars. With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening. "But you all smell so incredibly fragrant! No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!” The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

He is generally kind hearted and beloved, but when he meets the most confrontational, and mouthwatering, woman at the first mandatory meeting of the decade... Everything changed. She finds out what she really is and he finds his long sought out for mate. Will Nemia be able to come to terms with who she is and who Dorian wants her to be? Will Dorian be able to get Nemia to accept the mate bond and make her see the great things she is destined for? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ALSO!

Have you ever how the 'unique quest chains' are born, how 'mega-rare super-items' just drop out of thin air, and why every random minor character in the starting village is a hidden expert? I am the reason. I am the silently curshing ghost ofthe machine running cogs of 'secret quests', the plot-driving device of destiny, the shepherd to the millions of players that just KNOW that every stone holds a unique opportunity for loot, lore and skills. I am a sole Admin of the greatest DMMO-RPG, partialy AI and a man who holds the great responsibility overseeing the life of the game... With a slight problem though. The game was destroyed a week before it's start. Completely. So now there is no game. There are players, me and million of cheap tricks I honed in my life for the single goal of proving to all of you, that... This game definitely does exist. --- First of all, I post this book on my Patreon. 18 chapters of this book are there - for 3$ it's all yours... Though, of course, I will be posting it for free on this site too. Except I first post them on my Patreon - so now 1 chapter is here - and 19 are there. When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!

In an unknown universe there rayed a world called Avallon, it was created by a once powerful god who lost everything to a war among the gods. At least that's how the story was supposed to go but no war took place among the gods in this story and the once powerful god just got his powers locked away by an even greater god who ruled over all the gods. But this once powerful god had left a child who now is desperate to bring her father back no matter what it takes, but in doing so she managed to reincarnate someone who had the same presence as her father, but this individual had possessed two souls who died at the same time in their old life and ended up being reincarnated in the same body without knowing it. One of these individuals has no memories making him think he is the same person as the other. Now they have to live in the same body while the child of the once powerful god tries to find a way to awaken her father and getting lid of the two.

Synopsis: He found himself in a war that he never was a part of, betrayed by the very ones he valued and trusted the most stabbed him in his back. . At least, dying and being betrayed, wasn't the end of of his tail. he was now reborn in. A new world, where he could finally use his calculative and witty nature to achieve greater things. "Well, where to began..." Malcolm mumbled to himself while he catches his large tail. " Maybe change the world all while sitting at home.

One of his most trusted friends told him one thing trust no one. and never let your guard down especially to those who get too involved in his day to day life.

[DISCONTINUED!!!] Word of Warning: MC is crude, blunt and slightly insane. Continue with caution! --------------------------- When Theodore Nevan is forced into the Reincarnation Cycle via Truck-Kun's almighty hand, he is given the option to be reincarnated as the son of two Primordial deities, who convinces him to agree to their conditions by promising three wishes each. Theodore, now Theo Kraven, must gather his power and make powerful allies, because he's not the only Primordial Spawn alive and not all Primordial Spawns are friendly. And, with his kind being hunted by an unknown, mysterious force, he must do so fast. What happens when he discovers he can also travel through time, to more primal periods in time, where the beasts ruled over the world with an iron first? To eras past where he can learn from legendary masters only known through the history books? He will need to continue with caution as he grows into his own powers, becuase messing with time is forbodden and being a Primordial Spwan at a time where Primordial Spawns are frowned upon is like a double whammy. If anyone finds out about who he really is and what he can do, he will be hunted and killed. Wielding the powers of Time, Death & Destruction at his literal fingertips, Theo Kraven is out to get stronger and gather his own forces, eliminating any who dare get in his way. He will be called a villain. He will be called a tyrant. He will be called despicable. But, at the end of the day, he will have the power to back his actions. And, like his predecessors before him, he will learn that his sanity... is a ticking time bomb! No matter how chill and creative he sees himself today — he will have to learn that the cost of power is one's sanity, and he'll have to learn this fast, too, or else he'll be too far gone to properly defend himself when the enemy comes knocking at his door. And the worst part? The enemy is already at the gate! [Ding! Direwolf Alpha Tamed.] [Ding! Progenitor Werewolf Corpse Summoned!] [Using Absolute Synthesis to Create A New Summon...]: [Ding!

A teenage boy finds himself stuck between two worlds-his past and his uncertain future. He's not homesick or broken. He's just... lost. As he navigates a quiet life, where nothing feels right, he begins questioning everything: what life is, why we live, and how we're supposed to survive in a world that doesn't make sense. Through silent hallways, lonely park benches, and disconnected classrooms, he searches not just for meaning-but for someone who understands. A reflective, slow-burn light novel exploring identity, isolation, and the quiet thoughts most of us keep buried.

this is my first e-book, I hope you will like it :), just a warning, there will be no harem. I know the chapters are short ;)

In the newly created world of Exiastgardsun, the elf goddess Lucretia births 12 elf children from the Mana Tree, each with unique personalities and abilities. Raised together, they grow from mischievous toddlers into skilled young adventurers. As they mature, they train in combat, craft personalized weapons, and develop distinct roles (healer, sniper, mage, etc.). Led by curiosity and camaraderie, they leave their home to explore the wider world, encountering dwarves, centaurs, beastfolk, and humans. Their journey is filled with battles (some deadly, but always revived), inventions (like magic bags), absurd chess matches (Fahleena is a turbo-charged chuunibyou queen who treats every chess match like an intergalactic war), and deepening bonds. Despite their quirks, rivalries, and chaotic moments, the 12 siblings grow stronger as a party, each slowly coming into their own as future heroes of Exiastgardsun. This world is ridiculous, beautiful, and very possibly doomed (but it’s going down with style). hopefully. (author note: I made this story for my friends in mig33 Final_Fantasy chatroom. thank you all. love you.)

Born under a prophecy of power and destruction, twin sisters Victoria and Vera Fitzgerald have been at war since the womb…one destined to save their kind, the other to doom it. When the most powerful Alpha in werewolf history mistakenly imprints on the wrong twin, their world fractures. Betrayal, jealousy, and forbidden unions kindle a blood-soaked war that could end the werewolf race forever. As one sister embraces darkness and the other rises to lead, only one truth remains: Can the bond of blood survive the fury of fate?

Two girls who find in each other the family and the sister they never had in their bloodline. Through that bond, they endure a world where each day may be harsher than the last. Between sleepless nights and days with no promise of safety, they keep moving forward, chasing a new kind of home, but this time one built of stone. Two Hearths is an original high fantasy short novel that weaves gentle, introspective themes of slice of life, found family, and quiet magic. The story is written using SPOVNS (Sentient Point of View Narrative System), a narrative method I created to shape emotional depth, rhythm, and sensory flow through the prose.

Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical. Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable. With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question. Excerpt: Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps. His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement. When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck. Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel. Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box. Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable. It was all for first love. —- Discord: SEP1A#9769 Cover Art: raazu692 | Fiverr
