Grossology Abby Archer

[Mature content. No rape] ____________________ "Mr. Archer!" She hurried her footsteps after the cop, who seemed to have already memorized the way out of the small two-story house. "It's Adrien, not Archer," he said, not bothering to turn around and look at her as he turned the door knob. "Fine." She rolled her eyes. "We need to talk, " she said, following him out of the house and closing the door behind her. "I had enough time to spend with a dunderhead like you," she heard him say, and she fumed. "How dare you?!" She fisted her palm furiously as she saw him walk past the little gate. "You son of a chameleon!".... ________ In a world where mythical creatures like werewolves, vampires, and elves exist alongside humans, a long-standing war has left humans living in fear and captivity.

Zwei Jahrhunderte nach dem Großen Krieg wurde endlich Frieden zwischen Menschen und Werwölfen geschlossen, zumindest glauben das alle. Werwölfe herrschen wie Götter, und die Menschen sind sich ihrer wahren Stellung in der neuen Weltordnung nicht bewusst. Um dieses zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht aufrechtzuerhalten, wird jedes Jahr eine Handvoll "glücklicher" Menschen aus verschiedenen Bezirken ausgewählt, um die Lunaris-Akademie zu besuchen, eine prestigeträchtige Einrichtung, die Ruhm, Status und die Chance verspricht, sich unter die Elite zu mischen. Die Auserwählten werden als die wenigen Glücklichen gepriesen, die dazu bestimmt sind, mächtige Alphas zu heiraten und zu Luna aufzusteigen. Dieses Jahr ist Violet Purple unter den Auserwählten, sehr zur Überraschung aller. Für das Waisenmädchen, das von einer in Ungnade gefallenen Prostituierten adoptiert wurde, ist dies eine goldene Eintrittskarte in ein besseres Leben, so sagt man ihr. Aber die Lunaris Academy ist nicht das Paradies, als das sie dargestellt wird. Alles, was man Violet und ihren Mitmenschen beigebracht hat, ist eine Lüge. Die Menschen sind bei weitem nicht gleichberechtigt; sie sind Spielfiguren in einem viel größeren Spiel. Die Akademie ist nichts weiter als ein vergoldeter Käfig, und die Studenten sind Lämmer, die zur Schlachtbank geführt werden, Spielzeuge für die Alphas, mit denen sie in ihren rücksichtslosen Spielen spielen. Zu allem Übel erregt Violet die Aufmerksamkeit der gefährlichsten Spieler in diesem Spiel, der Terror Four: das Alpha des Nordens, das Alpha des Südens, das Alpha des Ostens und das Alpha des Westens. Jeder von ihnen ist gefährlicher, verdrehter und mächtiger als der andere. Aber auch unter sich sind die Alphas gespalten, jeder mit seinen eigenen tödlichen Ambitionen. Und doch haben sie alle ein Auge auf sie geworfen. Sie erwarten von Violet, dass sie mitspielt, dass sie sich fügt wie die anderen, die ihnen zu Füßen liegen, dass sie sich ihren Spielen unterwirft. Aber Violet ist nicht wie die anderen. Sie weigert sich, sich zu beugen. Sie wird sich ihnen allen widersetzen. *********** Mit einem Grinsen, das ihr Unbehagen bereitete, reichte er ihr den Antrag. "Genehmigen Sie diesen." Direktorin Jamesons Neugier übermannte sie, als sie ihm das Papier abnahm und mit den Augen den Text überflog. Fast sofort blieb ihr der Atem im Hals stecken, und ihre Augen weiteten sich ungläubig. "Was zum ...?" "Es ist perfekt, nicht wahr?" Ashers Stimme klang fast schadenfroh. Verdammter Psychopath! Jameson konnte kaum glauben, was sie da las. "Mr. Nightshade, bei allem Respekt, diese Bewerberin....this hat gerade zugegeben..." Sie konnte den Satz nicht zu Ende bringen, immer noch entsetzt über den eindeutigen Inhalt der Bewerbung. Sie holte tief Luft und fuhr fort: "Es tut mir leid, aber ich kann das nicht genehmigen." "Sie hat mich herausgefordert", sagte Archer mit einem dunklen Schimmer in den Augen. "Was?" "'Warte, bis du mich im Bett siehst'", wiederholte er die fettgedruckte Zeile aus dem Antrag und sein Grinsen wurde breiter. "Und ich kann es kaum erwarten, es herauszufinden." "Mr. Nightshade-" Er stand auf und unterbrach ihren Protest, als er sie mit einem intensiven Blick fixierte. "Genehmigen Sie den Antrag. Ich werde nicht noch einmal fragen." Ohne ihre Antwort abzuwarten, verließ Asher das Büro in der Gewissheit, dass sie seinen Anweisungen folgen würde. Er bekam immer, was er wollte. Archer Nightshade ging mit federndem Schritt den Flur entlang. Zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit fühlte er sich lebendig, sein Blut pulsierte vor Erregung. Die anderen Kardinalalphas hatten keine Ahnung, was er vorhatte, aber sie würden es bald merken. Er hatte gerade das Spiel in Gang gesetzt. Und das Ziel war Violet Purple. Das Spiel war eröffnet. Anmerkung: Dies ist keine gewöhnliche Werwolfgeschichte. Alles, was man über Werwölfe zu wissen glaubt, wird in diesem Buch in Frage gestellt. Und ja, es ist ein umgekehrter Harem. Probieren Sie das Buch doch einmal aus.

Chen Sansi traveled back to the chaotic end of a dynasty, thankfully with the hardworking system by his side. He originally wanted to hunt to earn money and someday go to the Martial Arts Hall to learn some basic fist and foot techniques, aspiring just to be an ordinary rich man. Yet, fate had other plans. With officials imposing heavy taxes and the Martial Arts Hall bullying the citizens, he had no choice but to enlist in the army to survive, becoming an archer. From "archery (entry-level)," he worked tirelessly up to "operating a ten thousand weight bow, where arrows cannot be dodged," taking the heads of enemy generals from a hundred miles away! From "basic soldier's spear technique," he worked tirelessly up to "National Guardian Dragon Spear, growing more valiant with each battle," standing firm with a spear on horseback, alone turning back the Enemy Army of a million! Years later, Chen Sansi, having campaigned in the south and battled in the north, was truly invincible under the heavens, commanding two hundred thousand of the Iron Cavalry. Watching his subordinates forcibly ascend him to the throne and become emperor, he felt quite helpless: 'You... you have really caused me trouble!'

So, selling assault rifles to these archers and training knights to be tank operators... there shouldn't be any problem with that, right? XD

A girl from Earth named Iris, who dreams of becoming a powerful tanker. To chase his dream and reunite with Iris, Leon must escape Mars and reach Earth.

"And yet I'm still chained to both of you," Haelyn replies, shaking, her eyes darting between the brothers. Torn between two Alpha brothers and fighting the scars of her past, Haelyn must draw strength from herself to fight against her family's betrayal and the bond that connects her to two strong men. It is a choice, though, that could unwind it all and make her heart possibly what she needs to save herself and the pack.

Disclaimer: This novel is a cliché Suggestion: If you like (Slice Of Life) with wonderful parents and survival, this is for you. *** Like every (Isekai) protagonist, I got reincarnated after getting hit by a hyper-speed truck. That was an empty and dark life anyway, so I was already looking forward to a decent, unknown afterlife. But... the world had a unique thing in mind. In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that. My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant. Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally. This was the life that anyone would love. Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents. Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts. But dying wasn't even a question. I will go back… to them. * The novel cover is not mine. https://discord.gg/ExYHhhv4mn Still lacking but, join if you want~! The update will be mostly 1Ch/day.

El cielo estaba teñido de un rojo profundo, como si incluso el sol hubiera decidido no mirar más aquella tragedia. Brahman permanecía inmóvil, sus piernas temblaban, pero su agarre no cedía. En sus brazos, el cuerpo de Abby yacía inerte, su sonrisa desvanecida, su luz apagada. La sangre de ambos se mezclaba, tiñendo el suelo bajo ellos. El joven miraba al horizonte, pero sus ojos no enfocaban nada. Una ráfaga de viento helado pasó, arrancándole un escalofrío que no era de frío, sino de vacío. —¿Cómo...? —murmuró, su voz apenas un hilo que se quebró al salir—. ¿Cómo es que todo llegó a esto? La pregunta no esperaba respuesta. Era un grito dirigido al abismo de sus propios errores, a las decisiones que lo habían traído hasta aquí.

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening.

However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.

This novel spoke of four rogues of Alpha, all of them so powerful in their homeland, that each had a special ability that made them unique; all of them were betrayed by someone they loved, trusted, and depended upon. Xavier Knoll, the Alpha of the Middle Land, a man bred for war, was betrayed by his trusted beta, Jaiz, and he watched as his mate was killed. With his last breath, he cursed the middle land, saying, "None of them will know peace until he is incarcerated or returned as a wraith." The curse of Xavier Knoll started surfacing when the Pegasus, a giant creature, started terrorizing the Middle Land. Blood was shed, and people lost hope as the curse kept spreading. The second Alpha, Sebastian Stan, becomes the next Alpha after he kills Xavier Knoll, the former Alpha and king of the middle land. Sebastian was an Alpha with great strength and fame. He was feared across the middle land, and no one dared cross his path. He's a brutal man. At first, Sebastian Stan thought the curse of Xavier Knoll was gibberish coming out of a dying man—not until the curse started affecting his family, cousins, and daughters. When he finally decided to avert the curse, it might be too late because Dylan was already terrorizing the middle land. The Third Alpha, Dylan Knoll, a distant relative of Xavier Knoll, heard about the death of his cousin, and he sought nothing but revenge. Dylan Knoll is a man who loves squeezing from the universe whatever it can give. He loves taking rather than giving. He was a man who preferred fighting with blades over claws. Dylan Knoll conquered every territory he came across except for the middle land. And in every territory he conquers, he will ruin and kill every living and non-living thing so that no one will live to resurface the old way. There will be only one person they will be worshiping, and there will be only one way to worship him: his way. Dylan Knoll leaves the Middle Land untouched because it was ruled by his cousin. But when he heard about his death, he sought help from Caliste, an ancient witch, and King Cassius of Mordor to conquer the middle land and defeat Sebastian Stan. The last Alpha was Rey Reed Smith, a hellhound and someone who was possessed by an ancient spirit beast. Alpha Rey Reed Smith, a hellhound, died on earth, killed by a hunter, but opened his eyes in the middle land. It was some days before he discovered that he was possessed by an ancient spirit beast, which teleported his soul to the Middle Land. The ancient spirit beast, Lord Rey, is the god of all night-walking creatures in the Middle Land. When he discovered the curse of Xavier Knoll, the brute rule of Sebastian Stan, and the deadly plan of Dylan Knoll for the middle land, he possessed the hellhound, Rey Reed Smith, and decided to use his body to cleanse the middle land. With the help of two brothers, Garry the night racer, and Gaius the archer, Rey Reed Smith found himself going deeper into the affairs of the middle land. Nonetheless, there is more to saving the middle land than Rey Reed thought.

Follow Ned’s journey as he navigates a perilous game of manipulation, trade, and forbidden magic, trying to outwit both monsters and the elite.
