Era uma pena, pois o homem ao lado dela se parecia muito com o homem que ela havia perdido muitos anos atrás.

Charlie t'épouse, tout ce que nous possédons en dépend ! » dit-elle. C'était dommage, car l'homme à ses côtés ressemblait étrangement à l'homme qu'elle avait perdu tant d'années auparavant. La faveur d'Anthony Charlie auprès des femmes était notoirement difficile à obtenir, mais, dans un excès d'ivresse, il se glissa sous les draps avec la femme à ses côtés, séduit par le souvenir de quelqu'un qu'il avait perdu il y a longtemps et à qui cette femme ressemblait.

"Lassen Sie mich mal sehen." Der gut aussehende Professor mit seinen breiten Schultern und kräftigen Muskeln hob mich mühelos hoch und setzte mich auf den Schreibtisch. Seine kräftigen Hände senkten sanft den Gurt meiner Uniform, um den blauen Fleck vom Training zu untersuchen. "Helanie! Warum tust du dir am Ende immer weh?" Seine Stimme wurde heiser und jagte mir einen Schauer über den Rücken, während ich um Atem rang. Ich musste mich daran erinnern, dass er mein Professor ist... und mein Stiefbruder. Ich sollte mich nicht von seiner Berührung verführen lassen. "Wenn dich noch einmal jemand schikaniert, komm in mein Büro, und ich kümmere mich um ihn", murmelte er, und seine schönen Augen fixierten meine. Obwohl ich wusste, dass er verboten ist, konnte ich nicht anders, als mich zu fragen - sollte ich ihm von der Verbindung erzählen, die ich in der Nacht, als er betrunken war, gespürt hatte? .. Als ihre Eltern sich gegenseitig verstießen, wurde Helanie vom Engel ihres Vaters zu einem vernachlässigten und vergessenen Kind.

Was sie nicht erwartet hatte, war, dass ihre Mutter sich darauf vorbereitete, einen schurkischen König mit vier gefährlich gut aussehenden und bestialischen Söhnen zu heiraten.

Wird sie ihren Klauen entkommen können, oder wird ihre Verführung ihr Leben bis zum nächsten Extrem ruinieren? .. Facebook - Alexis Dee

"Let me take a look." The handsome professor, with his broad shoulders and powerful muscles, lifted me effortlessly and placed me on the desk. His strong hands gently lowered the strap of my uniform to examine the bruise from training. "Helanie! Why do you always end up hurt?" His voice grew husky, sending a shiver down my spine as I struggled to catch my breath. I had to remind myself that he’s my professor... and my stepbrother. I shouldn’t be seduced by his touch.

Rayyan was no ordinary boy—he possessed a power unlike any other. Mysterious and quiet, he lived a life shrouded in secrets. One day, in a twist of fate, he kidnapped a girl named Daphne Catherine, unaware of the truth behind her identity. She wasn’t just any girl—she was Dee, the infamous master of the underground racing world. Dee had abandoned her past, hiding from the law as the police closed in on her illegal racing bureau. Determined to clear her name, she returned to the city to resolve the chaos she'd left behind. After the case was settled, she enrolled in university, eager to start over. There, she met Duke—a charming, attentive guy who helped her during a bout of fever. Slowly, she began to fall for him. They spent time together, often meeting at the cozy café where he worked part-time. But just when she thought she could trust again, Duke betrayed her. He took her to a place, unaware that she secretly owned it. The lies shattered her. Devastated, Dee returned to the racetrack, her old escape. But the race turned tragic—an accident left her in a coma for a month. When she finally opened her eyes, Rayyan was there. He confessed his feelings, the emotions he’d kept buried now pouring out. They argued often—Rayyan, normally quiet and distant, only ever opened up to her. Despite the tension, something sparked between them. Love, hesitant and tender, began to grow. Together, they began crossing off items from Dee’s bucket list, sharing laughs and stolen moments. But happiness was never meant to last. Tragedy struck again. In the chaos, Rayyan saved her, risking everything. He introduced her to his sister, letting her deeper into his guarded world, and then left the country for a series of high-stakes business deals. But when he returned, everything had changed. Dee was distant, cold. Without warning, she walked away, claiming she no longer wanted him in her life. The rejection broke Rayyan. Her absence consumed him, turning his quiet obsession into a dark spiral of despair. He was no longer the same. Now, with their love shattered and hearts in pieces—what happens next?

Charlie was just a normal 13-year-old kid with some anger management issues. Then his world collapsed—literally—merging with other worlds in a cataclysmic event. Animals grew strong. The skies changed. And those other worlds? They weren’t empty. Now he had to deal with dwarves, trolls, and dragons like it was just another part of life. He lived through the dark ages. Death became normal. Humanity lost 90% of its population in just ten years. The worst part? Charlie had a tribulation physique. Cultivating hurt. Every step forward came with pain. But he endured. And he rose. Along the way, he lost himself. The anger took over. People started calling him the King of Slaughter—and they weren’t wrong. But after a terrible injury, and the kindness of one soul, he began to remember who he was. He clawed his way back. And still, he reached the apex. Then a being came from the heavens. Said nothing. With a single finger, it killed him like he was an afterthought—as he was laying waste to the rest of the world. So much for fate. But what if the benefactor—the one who saved the world, and maybe even Charlie— gave him another chance? What if he woke up… in the future? Author’s Note So yeah—this novel uses AI to help me write out the ideas in my head. If that bothers you… no hard feelings. Skip it if you want. I’m just here having fun and seeing where the story takes me. Also, I’m trying something a little different with the structure: We’re going to follow the MC through his first life—rage, trauma, hard lessons, and all. There’ll be time skips, sure, but the goal is to really know him before the second life begins. Call it Book 1, maybe. The before. The part most stories gloss over. Anyway, if you’re into cultivation, chaos, weak-to-strong arcs, anime-style climaxes, and flawed characters just trying to survive— you might enjoy this. Let’s find out together. Notice This story will reference explicit and mature themes—including violence, trauma, and other harsh realities. While these elements won’t be described in great detail, they will be acknowledged, because bad things happen in a world like this. However, combat and the brutality of battle will be described in detail. This isn’t a sadistic or depraved novel—just one that aims to reflect a grounded, dangerous world without sugarcoating it.

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?

It is about two women who were forced to participate in a challange in different worlds that they did not know about, in a quest to recover their subordinates and see what is awaiting them next.

Decorum was the imperative law of the inner life of a lady as well as her outer habits.

She had dreams and ambitions, and settling down to start a family was not one of them, to the horror of both her parents and society's wishes for her to be used as a social pawn.

The palace gardens were a tapestry of silver under the full moon, their roses glowing faintly as Alaric paced the stone path. His heart raced, not from the day’s endless duties but from the thought of Elara. She’d agreed to meet him here, despite her hesitations, and the weight of what he wanted to say pressed against his chest. Elara emerged from the shadows, her simple dress a stark contrast to the opulence around them. Her eyes, bright and wary, met his. “You shouldn’t be here, Your Highness,” she whispered, glancing at the darkened windows of the palace. “If we’re seen—” “I don’t care,” Alaric said, stepping closer. “Elara, I can’t keep pretending. Every moment I’m with you, I feel alive. Not a prince, not a pawn—just me.” Her breath caught, and she shook her head. “You’re not just a man, Alaric. You’re the crown prince. Your world is up there”—she gestured toward the palace—“and mine is below it. We can’t change that.” “We can,” he insisted, his voice low but fierce. “I love you, Elara. I’ve tried to fight it, to honor my vows, my kingdom—but I can’t. I won’t.” Tears glistened in her eyes. “You don’t understand what you’re asking. If I let myself love you, I’ll lose everything—my safety, my place here. And you… you could lose your throne.” “Then let me lose it,” he said, taking her hands. Her fingers trembled in his, warm despite the night’s chill. “You’re worth more than any crown.” She pulled away, her voice breaking. “Don’t say that. You’re meant to lead Eldoria. I won’t be the reason you fall.” Before he could respond, she turned and fled into the darkness, leaving him alone with the roses and the ache in his heart.

"Get off me!" Tessa gasped, struggling beneath Vernon's broad frame. His dark eyes gleamed with something unreadable—a hunger, a craving.
