Wie groß muss der Reichtum einer Familie sein, die seit fünftausend Jahren vererbt wird? Manchmal weiß man erst dann, wie reich die eigene Familie wirklich ist, wenn man seine Eltern ein wenig unter Druck setzt! Erst nachdem er das fünftausendjährige Vermögen seiner Familie geerbt hatte, erkannte Zhang Menglong, dass die Freude der Reichen so einfach ist. Der Bankpräsident: "Herr Zhang, bitte, ich bitte Sie, Ihr Geld bei unserer Bank anzulegen, und Sie können den Zinssatz bestimmen!" Huaxias oberster Reicher der zweiten Generation: "Gehört Ihrer Familie die ganze Welt oder was?" Der reichste Mensch der Welt: "Ich fühle mich wie ein armer Mann!" Europäisches Königshaus: "Herr Zhang, fehlt Ihnen eine Freundin? Wenn ja, würde es Ihnen etwas ausmachen, eine zu finden? Wenn nicht, hätten Sie dann noch eine? Was halten Sie von der Prinzessin unseres Landes?" Später fand Zhang Menglong heraus, dass das College, das seine Eltern ihm hinterlassen hatten, das Beeindruckendste war. Dekan zu sein, war sogar noch schöner, als der reichste Mensch der Welt zu sein!

Quelle quantité immense doit représenter la richesse d'une famille transmise pendant cinq mille ans ? Parfois, vous ne saurez jamais à quel point votre famille est réellement riche jusqu'à ce que vous poussiez un peu vos parents ! Ce n'est qu'après avoir hérité de la fortune cinq fois millénaire de sa famille que Zhang Menglong s'est rendu compte que la joie des riches est si simple. Président de banque, "Monsieur Zhang, s'il vous plaît, je vous supplie de déposer votre argent dans notre banque, et vous pouvez fixer le taux d'intérêt !" Fils de la plus grande famille riche de Huaxia, "Le monde entier appartient-il à votre famille ou quoi?" L'homme le plus riche du monde, "Je me sens comme un pauvre homme!" Famille royale européenne, "Monsieur Zhang, avez-vous une petite amie ? Si vous n’en avez pas, cela vous dérangerait-il d’en trouver une ? Sinon, cela vous dérangerait-il d’en avoir une de plus ? Que pensez-vous de la princesse de notre pays ?" Plus tard, Zhang Menglong a découvert que l'université que ses parents lui avaient laissée était la chose la plus impressionnante. En fait, être doyen s'est avéré encore plus réjouissant qu'être l'homme le plus riche du monde !

The Celestial Forge: The Rise of the Starborn is an epic fantasy about a young woman, Elionna Ardent, whose life is forever changed on the night of a rare Starbirth, a celestial event that occurs once every millennium. Born as one of the fabled Starborn, Elionna is chosen by the powerful Celestial of Dawn, Eryndor, and is gifted with the ability to control light and fire. When Elionna’s powers awaken, she is thrust into a world of magic, ancient prophecies, and dangerous celestial politics. The world is on the brink of destruction, as an ancient Eclipse is foretold to consume the stars’ power, and only the true heir of the Celestial Forge can prevent it. With her newfound abilities, Elionna embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the secrets of the Celestial Forge and find the scattered starstones—keys to saving the world from eternal darkness. However, the path is fraught with challenges. Along the way, Elionna forms an uneasy alliance with Kaelen Draven, a rogue Starborn with a dark past who believes that the prophecy is flawed. Together with the brilliant scholar, Adalyn Moonfeather, Elionna must navigate treacherous lands, confront rival Starborn, and uncover truths about her own mysterious lineage. As the stars begin to fade and the Eclipse approaches, Elionna must choose whether to fulfill her destiny and restore the Celestials’ power or defy the prophecy, risking everything in the process. With dark forces closing in and a destiny she cannot escape, Elionna will learn that the greatest battle lies not only in saving the stars, but in choosing what kind of future she wants to create.

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

"Marry him, or you’ll lose everything." The words from my mother still echo in my mind. I never wanted this life, this marriage, or him. Alexander Wolfe—billionaire, untouchable, and colder than the steel walls of his empire. To him, I’m just a means to an end, the answer to a business deal neither of us asked for. But I’ve learned to survive rejection, to endure being the forgotten daughter in my own family. What I wasn’t prepared for was Alexander. Behind his icy stare and ruthless demeanor lies a man I don’t understand, one who stirs something in me I can’t control. Every encounter is a battle—every glance, every touch, a game of power and resistance. Yet, just when I think I have him figured out, he shows me a side of him that leaves me questioning everything. The secrets surrounding our families are dark and dangerous, but the ones Alexander keeps may be my undoing. When lies unravel and betrayal strikes, I’m forced to choose between protecting my heart or uncovering the truth that could destroy us both. But what if the greatest danger isn’t the enemies circling us… but the man I’m starting to fall for?

The fantastical tale of a Survivor, with fantasy mixed in. For those who like light reads, or simple narratives, turn away. Your heart will water, your eyes will break and vice versa. But if you like it hot and heavy, with plenty of drama and 'all-too-realism', we've got you! please note that this is a tale of someone real, with things changed, for privacy reasons, but with fantasy mixed in, because, come on, noone wants a straight sob story. so the story will suddenly, sharply diverge from reality, as it simply is what was felt at the time. but if you can handle that, and haven't been turned off yet, then I personally invite you to get a drink, grab a blanket, cuddle up to the fire, and listen carefully. For I am the Teller of Tales, and the Weaver of Dreams.

It was Satoya Kamiyama’s 17th birthday, and he was happily celebrating with his close friends during what seemed like a peaceful vacation.

I’d like to deeply apologize for any confusion. Note - some later chapters would get quite gruesome.
