“I never spent a dime from your debt, you both lost it gambling always…” Another slap landed on Astrid's face and this came from none other than her dad, Josh. “You ungrateful brat, it's only the request I am pleading for,” Josh let out and then a sardonic smile escaped her lips. She wiped the tears from her face and now stood from the ground. “I am not going to get married to a man old enough to be my father.” she declared firmly this time not avoiding eye contact with her dad that much. “What?” Josh's voice countered. “Why for once can't you love me?” She cried out her hands moving to her chest as she tried to hold in her tears. Josh moved closer to her, lifting her by her chin roughly, “Then do this one favor for me and save us from losing everything I have ever worked for,” His voice was a bit calm but stern, one could tell he didn't care about Astrid. ******** Astrid Daniels who is hated by everyone and is known as the faso of family is forced to get married to the man arranged by her father to protect his company from plummeting and also help in paying his debt.

Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death. Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine. --- “I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached. He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here. “Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?" I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. “What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze. --- A Dangerous Obsession Can she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction? A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation. --- LYCAN KING CASSIAN I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones. Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce. And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

Maximus Evander MacGregor is the guy who doesn’t take life seriously—he's rumored to have more dating scandals than you can count. Zane Josh, on the other hand, is the country’s most sought-after chef, dedicated to his craft and with no time for distractions. So, when they meet in an elevator, you'd think it would be nothing but an awkward and ridiculous encounter, right? Wrong. That one messed up drunken night changes everything.

During a zombie outbreak, as the city falls, Qian Zhenzhen stumbles upon a dilapidated cottage during her escape and unexpectedly binds with a inn management system. Moss and ivy cover the outer walls, the rotting wooden door creaks, and crows screech on the rooftop. Looking at the bird droppings and crawling insects everywhere, Qian Zhenzhen is completely puzzled: ...this is a inn? [Business Preparation (1): Renovate the Inn] [Please gather the following items as soon as possible:] [Wood (0/10)] [Stone...] [Metal...] Qian Zhenzhen's eyes immediately catch the reward—[58 Sweet and Juicy Strawberries]. Tears of joy stream down her face as she rolls up her sleeves and gets straight to work! Add new rooms, beds, cabinets, tables and chairs... Harvest green onions, rice, sweet potatoes, carrots... Build defensive fortifications, resist zombie attacks... When those who have escaped with their lives, exhausted survivors arrive here, they'll discover that even in this apocalyptic world, there exists such a paradise-like base, with a vibrant garden full of flowers, well-stocked warehouses, and impenetrable defenses.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

Feel the terror of becoming prey. Witness how easily we turn into predators. ––– “P-Please! Please spare me!” The man was trembling, eyes wide and full of terror, his voice barely more than a strangled whisper. Blood dripped from Luka’s hands, pooling at his feet, but none of it was his. Not a scratch marked his skin—only the crimson stains of the lives he had already taken. He crouched low, bringing himself face-to-face with the man. “I’ll make it quick.” The man sobbed harder at this statement, his hands clenching uselessly at the dirt beneath him as if begging the ground itself for mercy. Luka didn’t flinch. He didn’t waver. Mercy wasn’t part of the game. Behind him, shadows twisted unnaturally, whispering promises of power, of more blood to spill. They clung to him like old friends, feeding on his resolve, urging him forward. He didn’t need their encouragement—this was what he had become. A knight once sworn to protect. A man once burdened by weakness. But here, in this world where survival ruled and hesitation meant death, Luka was something else entirely. _____ Please do give the first chapter a read before deciding if it's worth your time or not ;)

I started full-margin trading with cryptocurrency, excited by the potential to make significant profits. The idea of using leverage to control a larger position with a smaller initial investment seemed like a smart way to maximize returns. However, I quickly learned that with the potential for high rewards came an equally high level of risk. What I didn’t anticipate was how quickly things could go wrong. In my case, the market turned against me, and I ended up losing a substantial amount of money, 1 BTC, due to the volatility of the market and poor decisions on my part. At first, I thought it was just a temporary setback. I had hoped that things would turn around and that I could recover my losses. contact with WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com However, as time went on, the situation became worse. I was encouraged by the platform I was trading on to keep investing, with promises of greater returns. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was faced with endless withdrawal fees and additional demands for more money. It became clear that I had fallen victim to a scam. The platform had been using high-pressure tactics to keep me investing, and once I tried to take my funds out, they made it almost impossible. Desperate to recover my lost funds, I began researching ways to retrieve my 1 BTC. That’s when I was recommended to an ethical hacker specializing in cryptocurrency recovery, Digital Tech Guard Recovery. At first, I was hesitant, unsure whether they could help me recover anything, but their professionalism and expertise quickly put my doubts to rest. The fees were reasonable, and they walked me through the entire process, providing clear updates along the way. I was amazed when, after their efforts, I successfully recovered my lost 1 BTC. The experience was eye-opening, and I learned a valuable lesson about the risks of full-margin trading and the dangers of falling into the hands of scammers. If you’re considering engaging in margin trading or cryptocurrency investments, I highly recommend proceeding with caution. Research the platforms you use thoroughly, and make sure they are legitimate. Additionally, if you find yourself in a situation like mine, I highly recommend reaching out to an ethical hacker like Digital Tech Guard Recovery. They were able to help me recover my funds when I thought all hope was lost, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their assistance.

In the desolate mountains of the Azure Peaks, nestled amidst a cacophony of howling winds and cascading waterfalls, resided the humble village of Qingyun. Here, amidst the rustic charm of thatched roofs and earthen paths, lived a young boy named Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, however, was no ordinary villager. He was a weakling, a frail sapling amidst a forest of towering oaks. While other children his age were already grappling with rudimentary martial arts, Lin Xuan struggled to even lift a wooden training dummy. His peers, naturally, viewed him with disdain, their laughter echoing through the crisp mountain air. One day, while tending to his ailing mother, a peculiar glow emanated from an ancient, moss-covered jade pendant that had been passed down through his family for generations. The pendant, awakened by a surge of unseen energy, latched onto Lin Xuan's weak meridian, a jolt of warmth coursing through his veins. Thus began Lin Xuan's extraordinary journey. The pendant, a sentient artifact dubbed the "System of Ascension," bestowed upon him a unique path to power. It demanded relentless dedication, guiding him through a rigorous regime of physical training, medicinal cultivation, and the relentless pursuit of rare herbs and beasts.

In the beginning of time, a point not bound by concepts such as space and time, a being stood. He was fettered by neither space nor time as they were nothing but a thought away for him. Feeling bored at the lackluster appearance that was the void, he created a sword out nothing and slashed. With each slash, profound meaning of all known laws were evoked and galaxies were born. In each galaxy, billions of stars came into existence and around these stars floated tens of large planetary bodies. Three Thousand slashes later, this being felt he had made the void more beautiful, but after a while, he felt it was still lackluster. Why this was so, he had no idea. Suddenly, he was struck by a thought. "Why don't I create beings that will facilitate the evolution of this great Universe?" And From him, came the many Celestial Bodies. These beings were the embodiments of The Supreme laws from which all other laws were born. Still, this being found them to be singular. Hence he decided to create a less powerful species with the potential to grow and reach the point he was standing, and from then, the human race were born. This being passed on his knowledge to these Celestial Beings and tasked them with the Divine Task of creating the Ten Thousand living beings that are known in this day and age. ... In a Library, a young boy looking not more than nine years old read from a parchment. "What an interesting person." He muttered to himself. "I wonder if what is written here is true. To be able to create all that is know throughout the Universe. To be unfettered by space and time, life and death. What an admirable position he must have stood in." This young man had nothing but praise for this being as he festered the thought of one day reaching such height. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/jrJBVc7u
