Shiranui Frill

Lila Harper is an heiress with a plan: marry Ethan Grey, the perfectly polished billionaire, and save her family’s crumbling company. It’s not about love—it’s a strategic partnership, the kind of union her parents approve of and the tabloids eat up. But when Lila arrives at the courthouse for her low-key, no-frills wedding, fate has other plans. Enter Jackson Carter, a devilishly handsome troublemaker who’s in the wrong place at the wrong time—or maybe the right one, depending on who you ask. Thanks to a clerical mix-up and Jackson’s impulsive charm, Lila accidentally says “I do” to the wrong man. Now married to a stranger with a scandalous reputation, Lila finds her life spiraling into chaos. The tabloids are having a field day, her mother is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and her furious ex-almost-fiancé, Ethan, is determined to win her back—or ruin her new “husband.” But Jackson? He’s loving every second of it. With his wicked sense of humor and surprising loyalty, he’s the one person who refuses to let Lila’s perfect life stay perfectly boring. As sparks fly between Lila and Jackson, their fake marriage starts to feel a little too real. But when Ethan escalates his schemes to destroy Jackson, Lila must decide: does she stick to the safe, controlled life she’s always known—or take a risk on the wild card she never saw coming? “Oops... I Do!” is a fast-paced romantic comedy filled with witty banter, unexpected twists, and the kind of chemistry that can’t be planned—even when everything else is.

Princess Daphne wanted to become a widow. Or she would die trying. On the marriage proposal drafted on human flesh and written with fresh blood, the Northern King had made himself quite clear: the princess would marry, not as a queen but the lowest of concubines, not in a carriage but within a sealed coffin, not to be celebrated but to be paraded around as a war prize. If those terms were violated, he would personally prepare a grave for each and every one of her citizens. Some said the Northern King had slaughtered his entire family and signed a contract with hell itself. All Daphne wanted to do was to send him back there to pay for his crimes. The night of their wedding, she plunged her silver dagger squarely into his chest, waiting for the final heartbeat that never sounded. Only then did she realize, perhaps too late, that the heart of the Northern King never beat in the first place. —— She walked with resolution towards the man waiting in the shadows. Her steps were steady, and step by step, her fingers reached for her dress buttons, undoing them. "Your Highness, no!" Despite her nanny's shrill shrieks, she only continued, untying each of the knots that bound her chest. For a split second, or perhaps it was her imagination, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. "What are you doing?" His voice was slightly hoarse as he stared at her white swanlike neck. His vision traveled downward, but he only jerked his face away. "There will not be war." Her skin tingled from the cold, and she could no longer tell if it was from just the frill night temperature or the proximity to him. "Do you hear me? There will not be a war." He closed the gap between the two of them, reaching out for her face. Instinctively, she stepped backward, anticipating his foul touch. But biting the inner sides of her cheek, she reminded herself that she had already decided to give up her honor. This is for the kingdom, she thought as she took a deep breath. A slender finger quickly swept a tear away from her cheek, a tear she didn't even know was there. And then he turned away, his back towards her. "I want a princess, not some cheap girl willing to give herself away so easily." He put his hand to his forehead in disappointment. "That takes away from the fun of it all." Her lips trembled, and her body shivered. "There will not be a war." "If Your Highness agrees to my terms, then indeed, there will not be a war." He tossed his fur cloak towards her. "Hurry and get dressed. Because if you keep me waiting, I might just change my mind. According to you, I am a barbarian after all, and who knows what savages might do?" —— Update Schedule: One chapter/day But if you want to incentivize me writing :3 20 Golden Tickets = 1 extra chapter 50 Golden Tickets = 3 extra chapters 100 Golden Tickets = 5 extra chapters Top 200 Power Stone Ranking = 1 extra chapter Top 100 Power Stone Ranking = 2 extra chapters Top 50 Power Stone Ranking = 3 extra chapters Top 10 Power Stone Ranking = 5 extra chapters Top 3 (Lol this won't happen so won't worry about that for now) Massage Chair = 1 extra chapter Luxury Car = 2 extra chapters Dragon = 3 extra chapters (The other ones won't happen so also won't worry about that for now) Super sorry if this seems super demanding or greedy ;-; I just never realized how much motivation I needed to keep going until I started writing. —— Cover Art: Cover designed by the amazing Turtleboiii!

Once an ordinary individual, he now wields a sword that has claimed countless lives. And now, he lies among them. Having expended every ounce of strength within his body, it was time for him to succumb to sleep. He pondered why he felt such overwhelming exhaustion. Never before had he experienced such weariness. So why now? Why did the overwhelming urge to sleep and discomfort consume him? His mind urged him to rest. Though he had emerged from the battle unscathed, fatigue seized his body. He could no longer even lift a finger. At that moment, he reassured himself that it was acceptable to rest. Without any wounds to tend to, slumber couldn't hurt. Even as the world blurred into shades of crimson, rest remained imperative. And before he knew it, his eyes had closed. And thus began the slumber from which they never reopened. This is the story of the strongest swordsman, reborn in an apocalyptic world as the cast-off son of the Duchess.

(read slowly.) I have a question, what's our purpose in living in this world? Are all human beings truly existing with purpose? I said to my imaginary second figure within his mind while lurking in the vast universe. No. There is none. All creatures are living with no purpose as all creatures are living mindlessly in this universe. No matter how you call yourself the most intelligent creature among other creatures within this universe, you're just a creature creating your own purposes/illusion/delusion mindlessly. An illusion created by yourself. The same illusion you described to others, and the very same illusion creatures created for themselves. As a result, it gives meaning to the life of creatures. And you know, that's the reason why everything existed. Every word you said, every tool you use, and everything in this world... was all created mindlessly by an illusion created by a mindless creature. Hence, these words. So listen to me, how was the universe created? It's simple, by our consciousness. Gods humans, animals, insects, microorganisms, etc Are created with a different consciousness. As long as one consciousness whether it be a rock or a grain of salt, as long as it exists, the universe exists. that is how Gods were created. Everything has a level of consciousness, the stronger consciousness you have, the higher form of creature you are. As we walk through this universe mindlessly, freedom was created. Thus, evil and goodness, heaven and hell, are created to restrain one's person's mind, and that's called freedom as what the gods wanted to happen. To restrain others for the result of goodness. To accept what we are, and to decline what we are, is just a thought coming from nothingness. However, don't believe me yet. There are factors created by illusion to oppose this warning, and no one will be able to heed this warning, not even the gods. That is my last thought as I disappeared again. A/N: the story will be focused on manipulations and fighting. other things such as powers like monsters, mana, magics, etc will also exist but not to the point that they're overpowered where one could just destroy the whole village in a single swing of his sword.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most famous novels. The old fisherman Santiago has caught nothing for eighty-four days. Then things change.  Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. Giancarlo Rossini Real ePublisher Ernest Hemingway, Writer Born: 21 July 1899 Birthplace: Oak Park, Illinois Died: 2 July 1961 (suicide) 
Best Known As: Famously manly author of For Whom the Bell Tolls 
Hemingway is one of the 20th century's most famous American writers. His books include The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway's plainspoken no-frills writing style became so famous that it was (and is) frequently parodied. His dashing machismo was almost as famous as his writing: he lived in Paris, Cuba and Key West, fancied bullfighting and big game hunting, and served as a war correspondent in WWII and the Spanish Civil War. He sealed his own notoriety when he killed himself with a shotgun in 1961. 
Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954... Hemingway is sometimes called by his familiar nickname "Papa"... His birthdate is sometimes listed in error as 1898. According to a 1954 article in the New York Times, "In most reference books and in his own conversation he is one year older because he gave 1898 as his birth date when he tried to enlist [in the army] early in 1917, and stuck to that date ever since"... Hemingway's father also committed suicide, shooting himself with a Civil War pistol in 1928.

However, one day he sits down in class and realizes that his seat has disappeared thinking it was another prank he fell down onto grass? Looking up he sees a system? His entire class is with him and this time humans aren’t in charge of this new world...instead it’s the monsters in the forests. ________ “On earth they said, Beauty is held in the eyes of the beholder.” A sensual woman's voice swayed through the void. “ Such a good quote, however it’s so untrue don’t you think?” A cold man’s voice replied “ What do you mean?” The sensual woman giggled, “Well… Once upon a time, I came down to meet the humans, I considered myself as the most beautiful woman in the world, in the eyes of all in heaven I was considered the most beautiful- even the lord recognized this...however every single one of the humans shunned me at a glance. Met with fits of screams and anguished cries, I got really depressed... “ “Get to the point.” The Cold Man’s voice sharply interrupted the women. “Oh, Oh just wait. It gets better.” The sensual woman replied and then continued “ The next time i saw another man. I graciously approached, Bowed head, a dazzling smile on my face. I remember wearing the best thing I owned at the time.” “ A beautiful victorian dress with white frills. I perfectly embodied the word of elegance. Not even a queen could compete against me...however, I was shunned once more. The man even called me monster.” “So I did the only thing, I thought was proper…so I took him.” “Really, what then?” A gruff voice was heard in the void. “When did you come out of your hole?” The cold man asked. “Shush, I’m listening to the story!” An elegant man’s voice came through the void. “Hum, It seems as if everyones here.” The most beautiful feminine voice said through the void. The sensual woman laughed “I never knew my story could attract such a crowd.” She continued “but let’s continue… After taking him I went to work. I gave him soo many gifts, I gave him so much of my love just like in any relation we gave and took from each other… In the end, his eyes beheld my beauty.” “Then where is he?” The gruff man’s voice spoke “What do you mean? You're looking at him aren’t you?”
