Four Split Personalities

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Die gedankengelesene Erbin: Vom Hochstapler zum Familienliebling

Wenyan hatte ein Buch gelesen, in dem eine Figur, die ihren Namen trug, eine falsche Erbin war. Nachdem die wahre Erbin ihre Position eingenommen hatte, versuchte die Hochstaplerin, sich ihren Platz in der reichen Familie zu sichern, indem sie den ältesten Sohn unter Drogen setzte und aus einem gekochten Reis ein Geschäft machte, nur um von der Familie Shen entlarvt zu werden und schließlich aus Verzweiflung Selbstmord zu begehen. Wenyan war wütend über ein solches Ende. Wie konnte man ohne den Rückhalt einer wohlhabenden Familie nicht überleben? Hatte die Familie ihr nicht ein luxuriöses Haus und unzählige Luxusgüter zur Verfügung gestellt? Allein der Verkauf dieser Güter würde Dutzende von Millionen einbringen. Sie war einfach ein hoffnungsloser Fall! Wäre sie die Wenyan aus dem Buch, hätte sie ihre Stellung aufgegeben und einfach entspannt gelebt wie ein gesalzener Fisch! Aber als sie aus ihrem Schlaf erwachte, verwandelte sie sich tatsächlich in das Buch. Getreu ihrem Wort, hörte sie auf zu intrigieren. Über Nacht packte sie ihre Koffer, verkaufte ihr Haus, ihr Auto und ihre Taschen und suchte sich einen Job. - Die gesamte Familie Shen bemerkte die Veränderung von Wenyan, ihrer Adoptivtochter. Sie war nicht nur gehorsam ausgezogen, sondern machte auch keinen Ärger mehr. Noch seltsamer war, dass sie jetzt ihre innersten Gedanken sehen konnten! Papa, Mama, ich wollte nie in euer Nest eindringen, aber die DNA-Testergebnisse der wahren Tochter haben Probleme. Sie ist sogar noch falscher als ich, die Scheinerbin.】 Shen Familie Eltern: ...... Dann wurde die lange vermisste "Tochter", die gefunden worden war, als Hochstaplerin entlarvt und von der Polizei zum Verhör abgeführt. 【Großer Bruder, dieser Schulkamerad von dir taugt nichts, er ist ein Firmenspion, das uneheliche Kind der Erzfeinde der Shen Familie.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Danach wurde der Mitschüler beim Diebstahl vertraulicher Dokumente erwischt und ebenfalls von der Polizei zum Verhör abgeführt. 【Zweiter Bruder, du bist so ein reiner und edler Mensch, du darfst nicht mit der Tochter der Qin-Familie zusammen sein, sie benutzt dich nur, ihr Herz ist eigentlich auf jemand anderen gerichtet.】 Der zweite Sohn der Familie Shen: ...... Danke, ich werde es mir ansehen. 【Und dritter Bruder, vierter Bruder......】 Am Ende konnte niemand vorhersehen, dass die unscheinbarste Adoptivtochter der Shen-Familie die verwöhnte Schwiegertochter werden würde.

Rise Of The Demon Alpha

The forest was quiet, and everything was still. The gentle northern wind sweeping through the trees and dried leaves brought nothing but a sense of foreboding and despair as Raphael crawled into his cave and huddled against the dirt stained walls. Stifling the moan of anguish that escaped his mouth, he pressed hard on the cut below his ribs. The blood stopped flowing briefly, as he dug some sticky clay from underneath the roots of the oak tree and applied it to his injury. It stopped the blood flow instantly. He was aware of the giant slash across his back, but he was too exhausted to attend to it. 'Later' he thought to himself, leaning back as he shut his eyes. He was lucky to have escaped with his life. "They will pay for this. I will get my revenge soon enough," he muttered to himself as the owl perched on the branch of the oak tree above hooted ominously. He had become his neighbour for the past few weeks, his hooting always reminding him that he may not be the only living thing in the forest. Other days, the silence was impregnable, the eerie quiet sending chills down his spine. As he slowly started to slip into unconsciousness, he heard a dull thud on the dirt outside the cave, too faint for a normal person to hear. But Raphael was no ordinary person. Crouching behind the roots of the tree, he waited patiently as the sniffing began. He made a silent prayer, to no one in particular as he saw the red eyes right outside his cave. They locked eyes with each other, and the enormous wolf bared his canines at him, before howling into the night. All around the forest, several other howls answered, as the earth began to tremble under the numerous paws thundering above it. 'Here we go again,' he thought to himself.

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.

The Legacy Blade

In the verdant valley of Eldoria, where the mountains whisper ancient secrets and the forests hold the echoes of forgotten tales, **Leaf Ironwood** stands on the cusp of his eighteenth birthday, unaware that his life is about to change forever. Raised on a humble farm by his resilient mother, **Liora**, Leaf knows little of the world beyond his daily toils and the stories of heroes and magic that seem like mere legends. On the eve of his birthday, Leaf receives a mysterious inheritance from his late father: a sword that glows with an ethereal light and an old, leather-bound book filled with cryptic maps and riddles. This inheritance is not just a gift but a call to adventure, a legacy that beckons Leaf into the heart of Eldoria's most guarded secrets. As Leaf embarks on his journey, guided by the sword's ancient power and the book's enigmatic clues, he encounters a realm teeming with danger and wonder. From the shadowy depths of enchanted forests to the peak of the sky-touching mountains, he faces trials that test his courage, wit, and the strength of his resolve. Along the way, companions join his quest, each with their own tales and skills, like **Dain Ironfist**, a gruff but wise dwarf blacksmith, and **Mira Starwind**, a mage with a penchant for mischief and a heart full of secrets. The Legacy Blade, as Leaf discovers, is not just a weapon but a key to unlocking his family's hidden history, a history intertwined with the fate of Eldoria itself. Enemies from the shadows seek to claim the blade for their dark purposes, forcing Leaf to delve deeper into his father's past, confront ancient evils, and perhaps, find his own place among the legends of old. "The Legacy Blade" is a tale of discovery, of a young man's journey from the simplicity of farm life to the complexities of a world where magic and destiny collide. It's a story of battles fought not just with steel but with heart, where the legacy one leaves behind is as important as the path one walks. Leaf Ironwood's adventure is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the greatest heroes are those who never sought the title, but by fate, are chosen to carry the torch into the unknown.
