Synonym Dumbfounded

In the city of Aurelis, perfection is not aspiration-it is law. Emotion is an error. Laughter is noise. A shoelace undone is a declaration of humanity-a term now synonymous with flawed. Eira was born into flawlessness but lives in quiet defiance. She smiles when no one is looking. She wonders why her heart aches when her parents pass by without recognition. She remembers... and she shouldn't. When a strange boy-Kael-appears with eyes that still carry grief, Eira's secret world begins to unravel. Their bond isn't revolution. It's worse: it's connection. In Aurelis, that's enough to be erased. As surveillance tightens and the lines between memory and programming blur, Eira must confront the truth: Maybe being human isn't the flaw. Maybe it's the cure.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

"Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?'

"Isn't this the weak young master of the Valhalla family?" "Hahaha! I heard he only knows how to waste money... Completely useless." Another voice, dripping with false pity, chimed in. "Both his sister and brother are Tamers, strong ones at that. While him... the eldest... pathetic!!" The final word, spat out like a curse, hung in the air: "Useless!" In this world, where the bond with powerful Beasts dictated one's standing, where strength was synonymous with the ferocity and strength of your companion. Christopher Valhalla was an anomaly. He found solace not in the thrill of battle or the acquisition of monstrous power, but in the simple, fleeting joys of life. He enjoyed partying, clubs, and women. He offered no retort to the cruel rumors that trailed him like a shadow. Because, truth be told, a knot of fear tightened in his stomach at the mere sight of the majestic, often terrifying, creatures that others commanded. But every life, regardless of its perceived worth, eventually finds its end. For Christopher, it came not in the jaws of a wild Beast, nor in a duel he was ill-equipped for, but in the insidious grip of a rare and incurable sickness. Some days later his flame flickered and he died, leaving behind a void filled with the echoes of scorn. Yet, where one life ended, another began. In the silent stillness of Christopher's vacant shell, a new consciousness stirred. A soul, bearing the weight of unmatched power and a reputation that sent shivers down the spines of even the most formidable Tamers, had arrived. This was the Supreme Tamer, a legend whispered in hushed tones across the world, a force of nature who had inexplicably perished at the hands of betrayal. Given this unexpected second chance, the Supreme Tamer, now inhabiting the frail form of Christopher Valhalla, felt a strange sense of acceptance. He looked upon the unfamiliar yet familiar faces of his new family – the concerned worry etched on their features – and a flicker of something akin to kinship sparked within him. A silent vow formed in his mind, hardening into an unbreakable resolve. The rumors that clung to this body like a shroud would be torn away. And the five Master Tamers who had orchestrated his demise in his previous life… They would learn the true meaning of fear. Their betrayal would be answered, not with petty revenge, but with the full, terrifying might of the Supreme Tamer, reborn. The world was about to discover that "useless" could be the most dangerous disguise of all. _______ Author's word, This Books will remain free till it clock 100 Chapters!

Lu Chen transmigrated to the Great Sum Dynasty, becoming the Ninth Prince of the dynasty. Unlike the transmigrators in novels, Lu Chen didn't have extensive engineering knowledge, nor did he remember much classical poetry. In order to avoid getting involved in the succession struggle, Lu Chen could only lie low, planning to enjoy a quiet life of splendor and wealth. Due to his mother's status, Lu Chen was eventually granted a marriage by the Emperor and was assigned to be Prince over a bitterly cold territory in the north. Just when Lu Chen thought he was going to decay in such a manner for the rest of his life, he activated a system on his wedding night. As long as he sired a heir, Lu Chen would be able to receive rewards and even enhance his own power. Years later. Lu Chen marched into the capital with a million-strong army to support the Emperor, and everyone was dumbfounded. "Wasn't this guy a useless Prince? Where did he get a million-strong army from!" "What's happening, how could he possibly be a Grandmaster?" "Turns out the Ninth Prince's decadence was all an act!" ...

In his previous life, Seo Hae-jin was a tyrant feared across realms—a villain whose name was synonymous with extinction. But when death finally claimed him, he did not find oblivion. Instead, he awoke reborn in a decaying magical world—armed with a glitched Sovereign Devouring System, and a mark burned into his palm: the Symbol of Dominion. From the body of a forsaken human child, he began again. At his command, countless black larvae hatched—creatures no larger than an insect, yet destined to evolve into horrors that would drown entire civilizations. These bugs devour everything—flesh, mana, memory—and grow without limit. He feels no pity. No remorse. No hope for redemption. As empires crumble and heroes die screaming, a single truth spreads across the stars: The Sovereign of Devouring has returned. He is no man. No god. No monster. He is extinction itself.

Julian Croft, the rich jerk who loved stomping on Leo back in the day, was back at it – flexing hard: "Oh, just closed a seven-figure deal? Chump change, really.

Mine's got... special touches. Having it brought over later." Ding! Your "Face-Slapping Delivery Service" has arrived! Leo's phone buzzes: Penthouse Deed - Acquired!

[Mature content] This man wanted a murderer for a wife... he was clearly mad! ... “I already told you.” Eitan said simply. “I want a deal… be my wife.” Wife?!

A boy who has forgotten even his own name, hating humanity and its civilization that reeks of lies, is raised by the ruthless yet honest laws of the forest. For him, life is synonymous with survival; his philosophy is pragmatism, his weapon is raw instinct. This one-man kingdom is shaken by an ancient, moon-white tree he discovers in the heart of the forest. The spiritual fruits it offers promise a chance to "ascend," but the boy's nature is not to trust, but to test. This mistrust culminates in him witnessing the creation of a monstrous abomination (Yaoguai) when he experiments on an innocent animal with the pure, uncontrolled life energy (Qi). Forced to consume the fruit himself to defeat the beast, he is driven to the brink of madness, attaining a flawed yet overwhelming power through a Qi Deviation (Qi Zou Ru Mo). Unable to contain this new, wild power, his body pushes him to create his own hell. Without a master or a technique, guided only by pain and the will to survive, he begins a journey of superhuman Body Cultivation (Tixiū). His ultimate goal is not to accept the ancient tree as a gift, but to uproot it like a prize, to possess the very source of his power. The tree's mental assaults on him reveal fragmented memories of a manor in flames and a sorrowful lullaby, hinting that a personal tragedy lies at the root of his hatred for humanity. His journey takes him to the fringes of civilization, to the Thunderclap Peaks. Here, he chooses the Path of the Rock to tame his power and, in the process, makes his first contact with established Cultivator Sects who become aware of his existence. This encounter transforms him from a mere beast into a strategist who uses pawns for his own gain. "Zarziyan: The Price of Ascension" is not just a story of empowerment, but a saga of a lonely soul searching for his identity, confronting the ghosts of his past, and in the process, transforming from a monster to a king, and perhaps even to a god. It is the tale of a conqueror forging his own path with blood and steel in a world beyond good and evil, where absolute will and power are the only law.

"Sissy, I brought you a gift." He shuddered in fear the moment he heard her voice. Whenever he heard her voice, he knew nothing good ever came out of it. "Please, not today." His voice made it obvious he was scared. She laughed, then touched his shoulder. He flinched, but she held him down. "Please." he said in almost a whisper. ***** "HI." she waved at him. "You must be the Riley everyone's talking of, right?" He was left dumbfounded, hearing her say she had heard about him. Everyone who had heard about him made sure to keep their distance, so just why was she trying to start a conversation with him? "If you are doing this to become popular, then you are very well welcome to be my friend. But if you are just naive, I would advise you to keep your distance." he said to discourage her. "We do have something in common. You get bullied, so you hate bullies, while I hate them just because they are bullies." "Hating them does not change the fact that you will get bullied if you befriend me." "Then I will have you watch me kick their asses if they try messing with us." "Are we friends now." she asked after they both laugh at her former words. "We are, as long as you are ready to kick some ass." "Bring it on."

After an accident, the interning surgeon, Qiao Mo, transmigrated to the beastmen world and was forcefully brought back to the tribe by a huge, snow-white wolf! What? The wild beasts in this world can take human form, and the beastmen are all muscular and extraordinarily handsome? Moreover, this was a matriarchal society where the females were allowed to have multiple male partners? The handsome and burly wolfman gave her two choices. First, become his mate and give birth to his cubs. Second, resist desperately and become a barbeque for tonight's bonfire banquet. Qiao Mo said, "I'm still young, I really don't want to mate! Can you wait for me for two years?" The wolf king smelled her scent and said, "You're already in heat; you're not young anymore." Qiao Mo sobbed as she clutched her sanitary pad tightly. Why must she transmigrate when her period was here? Why was having her period synonymous with being in heat, and why must she mate? Why were they treating her like an animal? Later on, Qiao Mo also discovered that the food eaten by beast-people seemed to only consist of roast meat without even a hint of salt. 'It's all right, I'll help you salt your food! Besides that, I'll also satisfy your appetite with Chinese food!' Qiao Mo also realized that the beastmen feared getting hurt and was extremely careful when hunting because injuries were almost certain to lead to death. 'It's alright, I'm a surgeon! Although I'm only an intern, minor illnesses and injuries are nothing to me! Occasionally, I'm willing to undergo major surgeries too!' Qiao Mo also realized that the beastmen often starved to death in winter. 'It's alright, I'll teach you how to preserve food! I'll teach you how to grow food and put animals into captivity!' Yet, eventually, Qiao Mo found herself at her limits. The proud and powerful white wolf, the cold and ruthless poisonous snake, the noble and cold lion… After filling their stomachs with food and drinks, after their tribes started to grow stronger, they kept blocking the entrance to her door every night and asked to mate with her!

What happens when an idol, renowned as "Prince Visual," is thrust into a marriage with the actual Prince of his country? **Disclaimer:** All establishments, terms, events, and characters featured in this story are entirely fictitious and crafted solely for the sake of entertainment. The story may contain sensitive topics. Royalty is often perceived as synonymous with perfection; however, the facade shatters behind closed doors. The Royal Family Wang, hailed as one of the most unproblematic influential families in the world, maintains its prestige primarily through curated features and polished articles. In truth, their legacy harbors secrets and bitter feuds—once revealed, could incinerate their esteemed reputation. Present at the center is King Wang Jae-Hwan, who, in a bid to secure his lineage’s claim to the throne, chose to marry into an influential Noble family. Beneath the polished exterior, however, lay deep-seated secrets. Although he professed love for his wife, loyalty was a luxury he couldn't afford; he betrayed her on their wedding night, resulting in the birth of a son. Wang Jae-Yul, unaware of his royal heritage, led a life filled with hardship and isolation. The king eventually discovered Jae-Yul, yet the Queen enforced her control that stifled any ambition or desire for power within Jae-Yul, effectively destroying any inclination to fight for the throne. In contrast, the life of an idol is similarly punctuated by high expectations and relentless pressure. The group LUMINA stands as a testament to perseverance, having been meticulously crafted from the ground up by its manager and visionary CEO, Han Eui-Jun. While the competitive landscape in the entertainment industry usually swallows its participants whole, LUMINA carved out a niche and rose to fame, bolstered primarily by its members' impressive backgrounds. Yet, the group’s most formidable asset was none other than the radiant visual and face of LUMINA, dubbed "Prince Visual," Lee Ha-Neul. His captivating charisma and talent created an undeniable draw, securing LUMINA's place in the industry. But the tale unfolds beyond mere struggles and bittersweet endings, as two individuals, who have devoted everything to the pursuit of success, find themselves entwined in a destiny marked by conflict and unexpected encounters. Jae-Yul's life changed when he lost his mother. She, having lived under the shadow of the Queen, made a solemn vow to protect Jae-Yul from the painful truth of his noble lineage, a choice that plunged them both into hardship and concealment. It was only after her untimely death that she unveiled her secrets, leaving behind a letter that detailed everything. Initially consumed with thoughts of revenge against the royal family, Jae-Yul soon realized that his desire would be futile against such powerful enemies. Jae-Yul began to rebuild his life, and through continuous struggle, he found himself standing before the king to reveal the truth. The king, realizing the Queen's influence, employed sufficient pressure on her until she reluctantly agreed to accept Jae-Yul. However, she imposed a strict condition: no one must know of his existence prior to this revelation. Fast forward 8 years, in an unexpected turn, Jae-Yul entered Ha-Neul's life and proposed to him through his influence. However, once engaged, he neglected Ha-Neul for 4 years, which made Ha-Neul end the engagement publicly. Faced with the reality that he could no longer manipulate Ha-Neul's feelings, Jae-Yul now had to figure out how to win him back. Would he resort to deception or intimidation, emotional manipulation, or find it within himself to genuinely love? The question loomed large: what would it take for Ha-Neul to be persuaded to marry Jae-Yul once again?

Eriol the Wise is revered as the first Archmage Supreme of Nefaria, a position that would become synonymous with magical excellence and leadership. Born over 800 years ago, Eriol was a prodigious talent, demonstrating an uncanny affinity for magic from a young age. Eriol's meteoric rise through the ranks of Nefaria's magical hierarchy was marked by groundbreaking discoveries and innovative spellcraft. His pioneering work in the field of arcane magic laid the foundation for Nefaria's eventual dominance in magical pursuits. As the first Archmage Supreme, Eriol established the Council of Mages, a governing body that would oversee the development and regulation of magic within Nefaria. He also founded the prestigious Wysteria Academy of Magic, which would become a bastion of magical learning and excellence. Near the end of his life, Eriol embarked on a final, ambitious project. Using a mysterious and ancient form of magic, he condensed his vast knowledge and experience into a small, glowing bead. This bead, known as the "Echo of Eriol," contained the distilled essence of his wisdom, waiting to be passed on to a worthy successor. Eriol entrusted the Echo to his most promising apprentice, a young mage named Thalyssra. With his final breath, Eriol instructed Thalyssra to consume the bead, ensuring that his knowledge would live on. Thalyssra, driven by a sense of duty and curiosity, ingested the Echo. As the Echo's energy coursed through Thalyssra's being, she began to undergo a transformation. Her body began to shift and contort, her cells rearranging themselves into a new, symbiotic form. Thalyssra's consciousness expanded, merging with the collective knowledge of Eriol. The result was a sentient, magical symbiote, imbued with the wisdom and experience of the first Archmage Supreme. This symbiote, now a separate entity from Thalyssra, set out to find a suitable host, one who would allow it to fulfill its purpose: to pass on Eriol's knowledge and continue his legacy. Throughout the centuries, the symbiote, known as the "Eriolian Echo," has searched for worthy hosts, bonding with those who demonstrate the potential to wield Eriol's knowledge wisely. Those who host the Echo are granted unparalleled magical insight, allowing them to unlock new heights of power and understanding. The Eriolian Echo remains a mysterious and elusive entity, sought after by many, but found by few. Its existence has become the stuff of legend, inspiring generations of mages to strive for greatness, in the hopes of one day being chosen by the Echo as a worthy host.

“What's done is done! Let's just forget it!” He said and acted nonchalantly, even though he was cowering in fear because something was telling him that the stranger in front of him didn't intend to let go. The man's frown increases and Hayden swears that the temperature in the room increases multiple times. After winning over his heart and stealing his first, this boy wanted to avoid responsibility, which made Zenos annoyed. “You want to run away from me?” He asked in annoyance, and suddenly Hayden found himself under the man without even knowing how. “I'm just…” Hayden wasn't able to finish his words before he was domineeringly kissed by the stranger. Zenos used his left hand to pin Hayden's hand on top of Hayden's head effortlessly. Hayden tried to struggle and blocked the stranger's tongue from dominating his mouth by pressing his lips against each other stubbornly, but the man unexpectedly bit Hayden's bottom lips, making Hayden yelp in pain. The man used that chance to clean all the taste of strawberries in Hayden's mouth, while his right hand continued to stroke Hayden's body wantonly. When Hayden was starting to go dizzy due to shortness of breath, he was released by the man's assault. He breathed in and out rapidly and thanked heaven for the chance to live again. “You can't run away from me… You are mine” Zenos growled into Hayden's neck possessively. Hayden felt a shiver run through his spine after hearing the stranger's words. His breath hitched as the man licked his earlobe and kissed his neck with extreme familiarity, domineeringly. “Mine,” the stranger proclaimed again. The stranger gave a low curse word and rolled off Hayden's shivering sensitive body, “I'll spare you because you're still in pain. You won't be as lucky next time” he said and lifted Hayden's chin to peck him one more time while Hayden stared dumbfounded.
