I will make them hear the screams they left behind, feel the pain they inflicted, and drown in the vengeance they thought they escaped. They thought I was nothing. They were wrong. I will rise, and the last thing they’ll ever hear… is a whisper.

“I need this job, Ralph, and I’m willing to do anything to get the job, I mean anything you want.” I told him, walking over to his side and sitting on his table, spreading my legs to give him a good view of my thong. “What makes you think I would fall for this cheap act of yours, what makes you even think I’m interested in your body?” he asks me, his eyes fixed on my cleavage. “I know you like me, Ralph, you can’t take your eyes off my body, I see you drooling when I walk by and I know you want more of me. Besides, how can you not want more when you’ve had a taste of me already. You popped my cherry, remember?” I asked him, putting my legs on his armchair, fixing my eyes on his. “Fine, you win, you got the job, goddamit! Just get out of my office before I do something stupid.” He yelled at me, pulling his hand through his hair in frustration. I smiled excitedly as I jumped down from the table, heading for the exit. “And Victoria, ”he called out to me as I opened his office door. I turned with a raised brow praying in my heart that he doesn’t change his mind. “Be very careful around me, I can be very dangerous when provoked. This emotional blackmail won’t work on me all the time. The next time you try to seduce me again, I won’t hold back, I would screw you right here on the bare table,” he warned me sternly. I know that was meant to sound like a threat, yet I moaned at the thought of him bending me over on his table and screwing my brains out.

ONGOING | BOOK COVER ILLUSTRATED BY CHADLER EJERCITO CASTILLO *** First Master Ruyin, who had lost his wife years earlier, formed an alliance with the newly widowed Nightfall Empress Dowager, Xuwen, at the request of his older brother, the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire. This union was a strategic move to protect her son, the newly ascended Nightfall Emperor, from trials and doubts cast by rival clans within the Nightfall Empire regarding his early ascension to the throne. Xichen, the young Nightfall Emperor, did not oppose this arrangement. In fact, he recognized that this alliance would be advantageous to both sides. The tie not only secured peace between the Heavenly Empire and the Nightfall Empire citizens but also sealed a treaty preventing either side-who had long been embroiled in endless conflict-from eventually engaging in war. Once the alliance was sealed, First Master Ruyin and his only son, Young Master Ruan, decided to establish their residence within the Nightfall Empire. Ruan, though known throughout the courts as a spoiled and mischievous teenager, was, in truth, an exceptional prodigy. His raw power grew each day, even without any effort, making his Heavenly Emperor uncle shower him with praise, which further fueled the envy of those around him. Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, except for the once peaceful harem of the Nightfall Emperor, which became a hotbed of discord as his concubines began vying for his attention. What no one realized, however, was that the entire situation was an orchestrated scheme devised by Ruan himself. With his sharp wit and cunning mind, he was making sure that the Nightfall Emperor was entirely wrapped around his fingers.

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX
