Frayed Laura Pavlov

The Heavenly Empress' Assassin

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe. So never expect anything to work in the same way as something that you are already familiar with, because chances are very high that it won't be the same at all. (Yes, I just blatantly flipped the script.) I hope you'll enjoy The Heavenly Empress' Assassin! ------------------------- Current Release Schedule: • 5 chapters per week • 1 chapter every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (at ~11 p.m. GMT+1) (More chapters can appear as bonus chapters, so this is the absolute minimum.) • Vote with Power Stones to read more chapters in the week after the results are in! -> Top 100: +1 chapter -> Top 50: +2 chapters -> Top 10: +3 chapters -> Top 5: +4 chapters -> 1st Place: +5 chapters - Chapter length: ~2k words on average

Renaissance dans les années 80 : La Femme Érudite est Mignonne

Trompée pour se marier, exploitée toute une vie comme nourrice sans salaire et finalement battue à mort par sa mère adoptive devant le lit de malade de son père adoptif, la misérable vie de Shen Mianmian prit fin. Lorsqu'elle ouvrit de nouveau les yeux, elle se retrouva à quinze ans. Shen Mianmian jura d'échapper à son destin passé, de punir sa cousine malveillante et sa mère adoptive, mais brilla accidentellement trop fort dans le processus. L'avant-dernière élève à l'école s'éleva soudainement au sommet, devenant la candidate convoitée par des universités prestigieuses, provoquant une sensation parmi tous les enseignants et étudiants... Tandis que d'autres étaient occupés à étudier, Shen Mianmian était occupée à lancer des petites entreprises pour gagner de l'argent... Tandis que d'autres se préparaient pour l'examen d'entrée au collège, Shen Mianmian achetait en une fois les deux maisons hantées les plus notoires de Pékin... devenant une curiosité aux yeux de tous, ils se moquaient d'elle en disant que même si elle avait la fortune pour les acheter, elle pourrait ne pas avoir la vie pour y habiter. Lorsque d'autres étaient diplômés et occupés à chercher du travail, les propriétés hantées achetées par Shen Mianmian furent réquisitionnées par le gouvernement, lui rapportant une somme considérable en compensation pour la démolition. Ceux qui s'étaient moqués d'elle ne purent s'empêcher de se gifler deux fois... demandant partout où pourraient se vendre des maisons hantées. Shen Mianmian, qui avait initialement besoin d'emprunter de l'argent pour les frais de scolarité, utilisa les fonds de la démolition et tira parti de son avantage de renaissance pour acheter un terrain adéquat et construire un immeuble de location, se transformant en la propriétaire la plus riche et la plus prospère de Pékin... Un jour, Shen Mianmian, portant un sac de clés et venant tout juste de percevoir le loyer, fut entraînée au Bureau des Affaires Civiles. "Shen Mianmian, il est temps pour toi de rembourser ce que tu me dois."

FATES UNBOUND

Settings: • The Crimson Court: A grand castle filled with secrets, where Olivia resides as the villainess fiancée of Austin, the Duke’s heir. • The Threads of Eternity: A mystical realm where the "Weaver of Fates" resides, controlling the multiverse. • The Hall of Mirrors: A hidden archive containing reflections of all the timelines Olivia has existed in, showing her repeated deaths. • The Fractured Horizon: A collapsing fragment of the multiverse Olivia's survival has affected, where reality itself starts to fray. Blurb: Transmigrated into the body of Olivia Fairmont, a despised villainess destined to die, she finds herself in a timeline unlike any other. Her fiancé, Austin, fiercely protects her; her brothers, Paul and Tom, refuse to abandon her; and her adopted sister treats her with warmth. Determined to understand why her fate has changed, Olivia uncovers evidence of her countless deaths across timelines. As the multiverse begins to unravel, Olivia learns a horrifying truth: her survival may doom existence itself. Can she rewrite her cursed destiny without sacrificing those she’s grown to love? Exposition: Olivia wakes up in a timeline where everything feels…off. Unlike the villainess life she remembers from her past transmigration experiences, she is loved and cared for by her family and fiancé. Uneasy, she begins to notice strange anomalies—fractures in reality, fleeting memories of deaths she shouldn’t remember, and dreams of threads being cut. Inciting Incident: She discovers the Hall of Mirrors in a forbidden wing of the castle and learns about her deaths across hundreds of timelines. There, she also finds evidence that her survival in this timeline is destabilizing the multiverse. A mysterious entity, the Weaver of Fates, warns her that the timeline must be corrected to restore balance, meaning her death is inevitable. Rising Action: • Olivia begins to investigate the anomaly causing her survival, suspecting Austin, who acts strangely whenever she questions their engagement. • She discovers that her brothers and even her adopted sister are working to protect her, but they seem to be hiding something. • In the Threads of Eternity, Olivia learns a shocking truth: her original soul was the first Weaver of Fates. Her essence split into countless fragments to maintain order in the multiverse, and her survival threatens that delicate balance. • She realizes Austin has been trying to save her across timelines, defying the Weaver’s rules, which explains his unusually strong attachment. Climax: In the Fractured Horizon, Olivia confronts the Weaver, demanding to know why her soul was condemned to endless suffering. The Weaver reveals that her original self chose this role to protect the multiverse. However, her survival in this timeline is creating a ripple effect that could cause irreparable damage. Olivia faces a choice: 1. Sacrifice herself to restore balance and save existence. 2. Fight against the Weaver’s control, risking multiverse collapse to forge her own destiny. Denouement: The resolution depends on Olivia’s choice: 1. Sacrifice Ending: Olivia dies, but her loved ones remember her sacrifice and the multiverse stabilizes. Her essence becomes part of the Weaver once again, but her story inspires change in the rules governing fate. 2. Rebellion Ending: Olivia manages to break free of the Weaver’s control, creating a new multiverse where free will trumps predestination. However, the cost is high—she loses Austin, or the new multiverse becomes fragile, requiring constant vigilance. 3. Bittersweet Ending: Olivia strikes a bargain with the Weaver, surviving at the cost of forgetting her loved ones. She lives on in a new timeline but with no memory of the bonds she formed.

Battle of CHRONO

In the heart of the empire's most renowned hospital, a poignant scene unfolded. An emaciated infant, struggling for life, was born amidst the cutting-edge medical facilities and top-notch care. The child's condition was dire, necessitating immediate admission to the intensive care unit. As the medical team rallied around the fragile newborn, the atmosphere was tense with concern. The hospital's top specialists converged to provide life-sustaining treatment, administering critical care with precision and compassion. Despite the hospital's state-of-the-art equipment and expert staff, the child's prognosis remained grim. The medical team worked tirelessly to stabilize the infant's vital signs, but the tiny body struggled to fight off the frailty. The child's parents, overwhelmed with worry, anxiously awaited each update from the doctors. Every passing moment seemed like an eternity as they clung to hope. The intensive care unit became a sanctuary of hope, where medical professionals employed their expertise to coax the child back from the brink. The hospital's chaplaincy services offered emotional support, providing solace to the distressed family. Amidst the uncertainty, one thing was clear: the child's survival depended on the unwavering dedication of the medical team and the family's unrelenting hope. Shirley's eyes brimmed with tears as she gazed at their fragile newborn, struggling for life in the intensive care unit. Zilong, determined to comfort his distraught wife, wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Shirley, don't be sad," he whispered softly. "I truly believe that our child will definitely grow strong and stand tall!" His voice resonated with conviction, offering a beacon of hope. Shirley turned to him, her face etched with worry. "But what if...?" she trailed off, unable to voice her deepest fears. Zilong's grip tightened reassuringly. "We have the best medical team caring for our baby," he reminded her. "We must stay positive and trust in their expertise. Our child will overcome this." His words were a gentle balm to Shirley's frayed emotions. Together, they stood vigil, hands clasped, and hearts filled with determination. Their love and resilience would be the cornerstone of their child's fight for life. Shirley's tears continued unabated, her heart heavy with sorrow. The plight of their newborn weighed heavily on her. "This child is so pitiful," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Born into suffering, he's faced calamity after calamity. First, the catastrophic event, and now his fragile body struggles to cope." Zilong's expression turned somber. "We did everything we could," he reassured Shirley. "The doctors said we made it just in time." But Shirley's guilt lingered. "If only we'd acted sooner..." Her voice trailed off, consumed by regret. "The gods are merciless," she whispered, despair creeping in. "This is their punishment for our hesitation." Zilong gathered Shirley into his arms, offering warmth and comfort. Zilong gently shook his head, his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and resignation. "This matter has been strictly censored by both the Freedom Federation and the Imperial Alliance," he reminded Shirley. "It's now a forbidden topic, hidden from public discourse." The catastrophic event had left an indelible scar on humanity, the worst since the dawn of the New Era. Its aftermath was shrouded in mystery, cloaked by the twin powers that ruled the world. Shirley's gaze dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "Before humans are destroyed, God makes them go mad." The ancient proverb echoed through the hospital room, a haunting refrain. Zilong's eyes locked onto hers, filled with a deep sorrow. "In the end, who truly knows what's right and wrong?" he murmured. "Perhaps our understanding is but a fleeting illusion."

By my leave, Alpha

If I am to make it out of here alive I can not wake the man who I choose to go home with. Of all nights to get pushed over the edge, why did I have to go home with someone. But I needed to get my mind off the fact my boyfriend of 3 years just dumped me after graduation. So here I am. Trying to pull my panties out from under Jacob? Jackson? Crap. If there was ever a story to judge me it’s this one. ‘Andrea Fray, if u don’t come down I’m leaving’ a text flashed on my phone. Great my best friend was leaving me to walk or hail a cab. Who needs underwater, right. It’s been 6 weeks since my drunken one night stand and I’m sitting here in the bathroom of the apartment Denise ‘Nessi’ and I share as she hugs me. “‘it’s ok, we can figure it out, we don’t have to return to the pack next week, I’m sure we can tell ur dad something to get out of the pairing ceremony.” The pairing ceremony was a chance for all packs to join and a few from over seas, to come together and find their mates, it goes on for 2 weeks for maximum pairing. But I know if I find my mate there is no chance he will be able to accept another and child. I’m daughter to the most powerful pack of North America, the Blood Rain pack. I cannot return carrying a child when I am not claimed. Being pregnant and unclaimed was very bad, usually females who got pregnant with another males pup who wasn’t their mate, were killed because her mate didn’t want to raise another wolfs pup. I don’t think my father could protect me seeing as how it was one of the laws he introduced when he rose to power. It was the first night of the pairing ceremony and alphas rolled in with their unmated pack members and usually a few warriors from their packs. There was well over 10,000 by now. I was headed to the kitchen to sneak a little snack when a delicious smell took me to the front door. The smell of fresh rain and mint, just mouthwatering. There he stood, 6’4” black wavy hair, muscles straining his white button up was showing off the outline of an 8 pack. MATE! Crap….
