Afterimage

Riley Morgan—known in the ring and across the globe as “Riot”—was the undefeated queen of kickboxing, famous for her brutal spinning kicks, sharp tongue, tomboy charm, and wild, unapologetic attitude. A beloved battle junkie with a yuri heart, she lived for the thrill of combat and the women who stole her heart. But after one last title match pushes her body beyond its limits, she collapses in the ring… and wakes up in the middle of a monster-infested forest, not on Earth, but in a strange new fantasy world. No rules. No referee. No ring. Just fists, instincts, and a glowing screen in front of her reading: “Class: Arcane Kickboxer.” Armed with only her body, raw skill, and a mysterious magical core that enhances her combat style, Riley discovers a new kind of power—mana-infused martial arts. Her kicks ignite with fire, her dodges leave afterimages, and her footwork cracks the ground beneath her. From joining a ragtag adventurers' guild to taking down dungeon bosses, corrupt nobles, ancient monsters, and even gods, Riley's journey is one of chaos, comedy, and heart-pounding action. Along the way, she builds a legendary yuri harem of fierce and beautiful women from every walk of life—demon queens, princesses, commoners, adventurers, nobles, goddesses, and slaves—charmed by her unshakable spirit, killer smile, and soft-hearted sweetness buried beneath a storm of kicks. She helps villages, topples tyrants, flips off holy empires, and accidentally gets caught in political marriages (usually after kicking someone in the face). Riot isn’t a hero. She answers to no one. She’s a charming antihero with fists of mass destruction and a temper that only cools when she’s with the women she loves. Funny & Charming. Hardworking & Smart. Sneaky & Adventurous. Tomboy & Sweet. Battle Junkie & Romantic. Riley Morgan is all of it and more. Will she become a legend—or a historical disaster? Will her story end in battle—or a thousand love stories? Either way, the world will remember the name: Riley "Riot" Morgan, the Arcane Kickboxer.

Bai Qian had loved Lu Rong for ten years. When she finally got the pregnancy test, she didn’t expect that she would find out about her husband’s betrayal! When the car crashed on her body, she could hear the driver’s cold, mechanical voice. “Mr. Lu, I’ve done as you ordered. What should I do with the corpse?” On the day that Bai Qian had died, Lu Rong received the doctor’s call and was notified of her pregnant wife’s death in an accident. Six years later, the news of Qi Yue and Lu Rong’s marriage was announced to the world. Bai Qian had also walked out of the airport with her son and daughter. The accident six years ago didn’t take her life, but it ruined her appearance. She had plastic surgery and changed her name, and once again returned after hiding her title as Europe’s top jeweler and joined Lu Corporation as a normal person. This time, she would take back everything that was hers! In the supermarket. Bai Qian said, “Mr. Lu? I’m so sorry, I was looking at your fiancée’s interview and accidentally knocked into you.” Lu Rong frowned. “You know me?” Bai Qian answered with a faint smile. “Who wouldn’t? We all know about your promise to your ex-wife that you would take care of her younger sister forever?” After that, she left behind a curvy afterimage. No matter if it was the way that she walked, or the way she was flipping her hair, it was the same as Bai Qian! When Lu Rong saw the two mini him, he couldn’t hold it anymore. “Bai Qian! Please forgive me! Give me another chance, alright?”

World of Darksith, Border of Blathe Kingdom- A boy is walking alone in a forest. After walking several hours, he looks up, and disappears- actually, he just moved at a speed fast enough to produce afterimages. He lands at the edge of a forest and looks out. (Commander POV) We can see the border. There is a chance the enemy is hiding in the forest, but it is unlikely, as we have scouted it out before. I think to myself, after this I will marry her. I scoff thinking that this is a death flag- Soldier: Commander, watch out! I glance over, and see a red beam coming from the forest. It's heading straight for us. It's huge, with a diameter of approximately 100 meters. As it touches us, we disintegrate. The last thing I thought was, This is a death flag, not only for me, but for the world.

"Sir," Chase said immediately, maybe because I was a bit excited about the girl that I didn't notice the slight hesitation in his voice. "Anything new?" I was itching to hear something amazing. "I got caught," he said softly. I paused to process what I heard. "She saw you?" I asked carefully. "No, I am not sure, but she took off after hearing something I whispered." I smiled broadly; she has super hearing for sure. Chase is a trained shadow guard, and I know the distance he keeps to stalk someone is not a close one. "Did you give her a chase at least?" I wanted to know how fast she was. "I only saw an afterimage of when she took off," he sounds astonished. I would really love to see that.
