Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood

-------------- Ares Halvard Constantine: "Just two words: You are mine, and my mate." * Valeska Steel was killed. Ares Halvard, who had imprinted and made Valeska his mate, did not want their love to end tragically by death; he desperately defied fate and took Valeska's corpse across to the Netherworld, using the Forbidden Grimoire portal. As compensation, he left Valeska's soul adrift, thrown into the transmigration world, and reincarnated in the body of Vienna Beaumont. * Ares emphasizes his words in a husky, absolute voice. "Every man who dares touched you, so I cut off those arms. What's so hard to understand?" Valeska's life would never be the same again. -------

"In Qiyuan, kissing is an act of mutual surrender. To ask for a kiss is to ask someone to be yours, while offering yourself in return. On that note, making love is a common practice and is regarded as deeply romantic." —Book 1 of Romances in Qiyuan— Haruki had no memories prior to his awakening. With only his black katana and his name to ground him in an identity, he lived through every encounter on pure instinct and a great deal of luck. But it wasn't until he locked eyes with Lanling, those sky-blue orbs gazing at him with the stillness of a lake, that he believed his luck had finally peaked. Shamelessly, he integrated into General Lanling Cheng's army, finding the man even more pleasing to his eyes the longer he watched over him. But as Haruki learned more about his new idol, he began to realize just how deep their connection ran, how precious the memories stolen from him were, and how deeply he loved this man. No matter how many times his mind was wiped clean, his feelings seemed to cross beyond the boundaries of memory, for he had long branded the image and name of Lanling Cheng into the very depths of his soul. He could only hope for a day when the curse that plagued them—this curse that relentlessly tested their love—would finally be shattered, and they could live on with their lives in peace. ~#~#~#~#~#~ [Volumes Synopsis] —Volume 1 [1-50] Amidst the war between the Silver Dragons and the Black Pythons, familiar faces and voices seemed to emerge from nowhere, as though fate itself were playing a cruel game, tugging relentlessly at Haruki’s mind—almost desperate to make him remember his past. But to Haruki, the most important thing was meeting and shamelessly flirting with the general, so he couldn’t care less. Besides, Lanling had told him not to remember, and who was he to disobey his future wife? —Volume 2 [51-145] Haruki and his friends find themselves in a typical isekai setting! At least, that's what Haruki originally thought. But soon, he realized the waters in the palace ran deep, and his connection to whatever schemes were brewing here stretched all the way back to before he even came to... Earth? So, he's a local? Oh, and there’s that Lanling Cheng… Haruki: ...God, why is he so hot? —Volume 3 [146~300] Lanling lost his best friend… his boyfriend… his fated lover. And the loneliness brought by the sudden emptiness gripped his heart every day, almost driving him mad, scorching anyone who dared touch his reverse scale. But just as he gave up dodging the oncoming claws of a chimera, the wind swept him away—into a familiar embrace. Haruki had come back. With a new identity, a new family, and a new… fiancé?! Lanling was in tatters. How had his boyfriend become someone else’s fiancé?? Determined to win him back, he appoints Haruki as his knight, keeps him by his side at all times, and climbs into his bed at night… ~#~#~#~#~#~ —updates every Sunday [M]—Mature Content Server: https://discord.gg/cMqPN7WVbf Art: @minttea5 Best Unca Consultant: Zeriq Haruk [for worldbuilding]

It took Haruki years to build the cold character that made those who knew him tremble before him as a Yakuza chairman, but it only took that man's glance to change everything, to break down his walls and make him seek a warmth he never knew he needed. Hiroshi's smile, scent, deep soothing voice, warmth of his embrace... "This is not what I want." "This cannot be what I need. There's no way I'm going to be weak! I'm the chairman, and I can't afford to be weak." "I will never fall in love, never be weak... ever again." "I need him to leave my life, I don't care about him, I never did." "Who gave you the right to harm what is mine?! I'm going to ruin your life!" "You are completely mine." "Haruki, it is okay to be weak when you are with me." "I will never fall in love with you, you simply belong to me." "Yes, I do..." But you are also mine. ***** Between a Mafia boss who is an infamous player and his doctor, who gets to fall the hardest in love?

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com It all started in Toronto, Canada, when I fell victim to a highly sophisticated online scam involving a fake cryptocurrency mining pool hosted on a platform called Rednote. The scammers initially presented themselves as legitimate, promising incredible returns on investments, which led me to deposit a significant amount of money. They seemed convincing, and I felt secure in my decision. But trouble began when I tried to withdraw CAD 250,000 from my account. That's when they informed me that I needed to pay a "tax" to the Canada Tax Bureau before they could process the withdrawal. They claimed it was a legal requirement, and to proceed, I would have to pay 7% of the total amount, which they said would cover the necessary paperwork and taxes. Trusting their assurances, I transferred CAD 17,500 to cover the so-called tax fee. Once the payment was received, the scammers contacted me again, saying that due to my VIP status because I had over CAD 400,000 in my account I could only withdraw a minimum of CAD 400,000. Despite my request to withdraw a smaller amount, they insisted it was not possible. They claimed I could either pay more or lose access to any of my funds. Feeling cornered and desperate to retrieve at least part of my investment, I transferred another CAD 30,000, hoping this would be the final requirement. But the demands didn’t stop there. After receiving the second payment, the scammers came back with yet another request. This time, they claimed I needed to cover "administrative and security fees" totaling CAD 22,500 before my withdrawal could be completed. At this point, I was exhausted and confused, but I complied, hoping it would finally end. After sending the CAD 22,500, communication ceased completely. My funds were gone, and I realized I had been scammed. Feeling betrayed and devastated, I didn’t give up. I started searching online for any possible way to recover my money. After hours of research, I stumbled across a recovery service called Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially skeptical about the idea of a recovery service, I decided to take a chance and contacted them for help. They seemed professional and assured me they could help. To my surprise, within a few weeks, they managed to recover 95% of my lost funds. It was a huge relief, and I was incredibly grateful that I didn't give up. With the help of Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I got most of my money back and learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of online scams.
