Dante Zogratis Speech

They broke her heart. He might break her soul. But this time, she's the one holding the gun. Amara used to believe in love. Until the man she trusted betrayed her, shattering her family and leaving her heart in ruins. Three years later, she's a ghost in the criminal underworld, surviving in silence. But when a photo of her missing brother resurfaces, her hunt for the truth leads her straight into the hands of the city's most feared mafia boss: Dante Moretti. Cold. Calculating. Deadly. Dante doesn't do favors. But Amara isn't looking for one. She wants answers, leverage and control. Instead, he gives her a choice: work for him or walk away and lose every chance of finding her brother. But power in Dante's world comes at a cost. So does desire. Trapped between the lies of her past and the heat of an unexpected attraction, Amara must decide: How far she's willing to go to survive? And can a heart that's been broken can ever beat on its own terms again? "Heartbeat in the Crossfire" is a slow-burn mafia romance about reclaiming power, resisting temptation, and surviving a world that only respects strength. Perfect for readers who love: Mafia bosses with ice in their veins and secrets in their eyes. Smart heroines who don't need saving. Forbidden attraction and dangerous alliances.

Dante's a normal rich high schooler until he messes with the son of a greater demon and gets cursed. That leads to him being revealed to be a member of the Delta Paladins and with the help of a secret organization called the Soleil Order he embraces his true power to overcome the dark secrets his life bear.

In a parallel universe where breathtaking beauty coexists with deadly dangers, Luna Vale is ripped from her earthly life and thrown into a world of relentless training, advanced technology, and constant threats. Alongside her friend Clara Lys, she faces challenges that test not only her physical strength but also her mysterious origins and secrets. At the heart of this new world stand the legendary Knights of the Apocalypse — five powerful, dark, and irresistibly handsome men. Among them, the twin brothers Theo and Dante Blaze share leadership, while hidden forces and dangerous alliances threaten to destroy everything. When the enigmatic commander Magnus Veylor reveals truths about Luna’s past, the fate of both worlds hangs in the balance. Amid battles, intrigue, and forbidden passions, Luna must discover who she truly is to save those she loves — and herself.

Dante Moretti was born to rule; ruthless, calculating, and destined to inherit the empire his father built from blood and silence. He’s kept his emotions buried and enemies buried deeper. But when a deal goes wrong and his path crosses with Elena DeLuca, daughter of the man his family swore to destroy, everything changes. Elena is fiery, unpredictable, and dangerous in all the wrong ways. She shouldn't mean anything to him. But the more he pushes her away, the more she invades his thoughts, and his control. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is weakness, Dante must choose: loyalty to the life that raised him, or the woman who might destroy it. He owns the city. But she might own his soul.

Entre eles, os gêmeos Theo e Dante Blaze dividem a liderança, enquanto forças ocultas e alianças perigosas ameaçam destruir tudo. Quando o comandante enigmático Magnus Veylor revela segredos sobre o passado de Luna, o destino de ambos os mundos fica em jogo.

Lucian Merrin — a quiet teen, a decent student, a dream son — didn’t mean to cross a line. But once he did, there was no going back. A glimpse of an exam key leads him to the school's admin portal. And from there, to something deeper. A place where knowledge is power, and power is temptation. As Lucian explores systems beyond his age and reach, the world around him begins to shift. His grades soar. His friends drift. His heart races — not from guilt, but from what’s possible. But the deeper you go, the more alone you become. And the more you know, the more they start watching.

She applied for a simple teaching job. She ended up raising a classroom full of supernatural toddlers and accidentally becoming the Demon Lord’s obsession. -`♡´- Struggling to pay rent and drowning in rejection emails, Alina Hart, 24, is desperate for a stable job.

That’s how we play catch!” -`♡´- Alina: “Luna, you can’t bite people just because they sit next to me.” Luna (growling): “He was breathing near you.

She backed into the wall, pulse racing as he stalked closer, his towering frame cutting off every escape route. “I-I’m not—” she stammered. His fingers tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his cold gaze. “You didn’t just break my heart,” he murmured darkly. “You shattered it. And now? Now, you’ll pay for it.” Her breath hitched. “Congratulations, Anastasia,” he whispered, leaning in until his lips brushed her ear. “You just became my wife.”

"Wait, jadi dibentuknya pelatihan bagi remaja karena menghadapi perang, layaknya Perang Kaisar? Aku jadi penasaran, kenapa benua tidak layak huni tidak bisa diambil lagi?

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

Don’t have looks? Don’t have money? A complete nobody? Fear not! Because you’re definitely doing better than Dante! After reincarnating in a pathetic mine infested with goblins and a spider the size of a wagon, Dante discovers he has one thing no one else in this magical world does: shamelessness — and a lot of creativity! Armed with intelligence, strategy, an RPG system, and a kind of charisma anyone can fake, Dante is determined to level up, earn respect, and rule the world! Win at life and overcome every twist — even if the whole world thinks you’re the ugliest thing alive! ==================== This story is about a badass guy who ended up dying tragically and being reincarnated in a magical world to become a better person. This doesn't necessarily mean he'll become a better person. In fact, you'll see him use absurd strategies to gain fame and notoriety. The character has completely bizarre and even comical attitudes, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Quite the opposite. In this story, you will find a harem — as the title suggests — lots of adventure and as the story develops, you'll see a kingdom system. The focus will be on the context within the world and on the people (worldbuilding). It's a story focused on a guy who wants to do well in life and HOW he's going to achieve that (even though he's ugly). The unique part of the story is that, technically, you can apply some of the lessons from the story yourself. Of course, keeping in mind that it's a fantasy. But nothing the protagonist did is impossible to apply (I'm living proof of that). That said, happy reading. ==================== [2-3 chapters per day]

In an Empire ruled by kings barely out of boyhood yet already steeped in blood and power, Royal Imperium Prestigia High is where monsters are crowned—and innocents are devoured. Five thrones rule the elite academy: Dante, the werewolf alpha; Kaelric, humanity’s apex predator; Vesper, the vampire overlord; Xeari, the werecat king; and Ryuzaki, the celestial kitsune. To their subjects, they’re gods. For most girls, Prestigia is the pinnacle of existence—a chance to earn the favor of the five kings. They worship them, starve for their attention, and some die for it. But Blazar Staray is different. Sold into slavery and raised as an assassin, she infiltrates Prestigia as Orion Spade, a noble boy from a ruined house. A seer warned her: her scent is a siren’s call to beast-blooded males, awakening their primal hunger, to hunt to claim. To them she smells like the perfect mate. Her disguise is her shield—and her greatest gamble. Her mission? Kill a king—or die in the worst way possible. Yet she draws their lethal attention: - Dante craves her submission. - Kaelric hungers for her defiance. - Vesper is addicted to her blood. - Xeari stalks her like prey. - Ryuzaki wants to uncover her hideous nature. They should have ignored her. Now, they circle her like predators. The hunter becomes the hunted. To survive, Blazar must outwit kings born to rule ruthlessly, all while hiding a deadly secret that could destroy her. Blazar Staray won’t play their games. And she certainly doesn’t kneel.

Stephen Hawking, He was regularly asked for his thoughts on the “big questions” of the day by scientists, tech entrepreneurs, senior business figures, political leaders and the general public. Stephen maintained an enormous personal archive of his responses, which took the form of speeches, interviews and essays. Now, he's not here with us but somewhere in the form of tiny particles, he's travelling around in this universe or who knows maybe in any other alternate universe... He had lost some of his physical abilities due to any spinal issue ... But, in his mind, he was completely free, free to travel around anywhere, free to explore the existence itself ... In this book, I'm gonna share what I've studied, what I'm studying, what I've observed, what are the possibilities, what actually our life is ...these all things, about whom? About my favorite, "Mr. Hawking" and his theoretical physics concepts.

Reborn in a fantasy world with two brothers and a full set of parents Yeah, sounded decent until I realized my brothers were annoying, dramatic, and somehow even louder than me. Then my mother left me. Why? Because I looked too human. She took my elf-eared brothers and walked away. I got left behind with my poor human dad, in a crumbling farmhouse on the edge of nowhere. So here I am: a newborn, cold, cranky, and ready to fight the entire world. They can keep their glowing eyes and destiny speeches. i’ve got a skill system, a reputation to build, and receipts for everyone who ever doubted me. She wanted to throw me away? Big mistake. Huge.

For three years, Dante Vazquez has been a Zero — the only teenager who never awakened a Gift. In a world where elemental powers define everything — your status, your survival, your future — being a Zero means you're nothing. A mistake. A ghost among gods. Until the night he's attacked by a mugger. Until, in the chaos, he touches the man— And steals his Gift. For the first time, Dante holds power: Darkness, an ability never meant to be his. And if he can take one Gift... can he take more? But power never comes without a price. In the shadows lurks a secret organization tasked with monitoring the Gifted — they've already detected traces of something impossible. Something dangerous. If they learn what Dante can do, he won’t just be feared — he’ll be hunted. Now, he faces a choice: Run. Hide. Survive. Or rise. Fight. Become something more. But with every Gift he takes, one question grows louder in his mind: > Is he still Dante Vazquez— Or is he becoming something else entirely?
