Clowning Around

Mum ran away, dad's crippled, and I'm about to be sold to a brothel. Qiao Xiaomai rolled up her sleeves in anger: If you've taken from me, regurgitate it. If you've seized what's mine, return it. All scumbags, clear off. A certain man finished tidying up the mess, rolled up his sleeves and pulled Qiao Xiaomai into a light laugh: "My lady, if you're this fiery and domineering at night, your husband..." Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, patted the spot next to her: "My dear, come warm the bed~"

The footsteps sounded closer, and closer, and closer, until he faintly heard Siri's voice welcoming someone into the house, but before he could open his eyes to see who it was, he felt a large hand gripping his neck, his legs were locked tightly between much larger ones, and, he felt the cold metal of a gun placed directly on his...gun. Zeno quickly opened his eyes from instincts, ready to fight off his attacker, but the moment he did so, he was met with mesmerizing dark grey orbs, staring dangerously at him. The face of his attacker was too close, he couldn't make out his features, but he knew they were sharp, even from a closed look. He didn't bother fighting, he didn't want to lose his junior member down there, and his Nana still expected grandchildren from him. He couldn't disappoint her. "Who. Are. You?" The voice of his attacker was so deep, dark, and commanding. Zeno was a fighter, but he felt a chill run down his spine from the sound of the voice. The hand around Zeno's neck tightened, but he endured it, he was a fighter. Judging by his attacker's looks and actions of confidence, this was his boss. ~~~ After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill, Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long; after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return to that place again. But after a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard. Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love? After the betrayal from his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being. He became cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear. He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself. But, not until his son's manny came into the picture. Zeno irritated him in every way, he hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have chosen to kill him if not for the sake of his son. Sebastian always tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible. But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son that needed Zeno? ~~~ "What are you waiting for? Leave!" Sebastian snarled bitterly. He would have to speak with Butler Nicole to find out why he brought back this stupid clown to his house. He had just returned from yet another trip, just to find this nuisance in his house again. He hated Zeno so much; he was classless and looked extremely dangerous to be near his son; who knew if he was sent as a snitch by an enemy? "I'm sorry, boss, but I can't," Zeno said and stood his ground. Leaving would mean he wanted his Nana to die; no, he'd rather stay here and take all punches that came his way; he was used to it. "What?!" Sebastian couldn't believe that such stupid people were still existing in the world. "I can't leave," Zeno repeated.

Gu Chu Yin was the country's richest woman, powerful, brilliant, and untouchable. Until she was murdered. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the body of a fat, ridiculed girl… fifteen years in the past. Everyone sneered at her. Useless. Ugly. A failure with no future. Too bad they had no idea who they were dealing with. The girl they mocked for bad grades? The dean of a top medical school scoffed, "Are you talking about Miss Gu Chu Yin, who won first place in science and technology?" The so-called "worthless" perfume maker? The CEO of a luxury fragrance brand smirked, "I heard someone say our chairman is useless?" The skincare products they were fighting over? A cosmetics giant laughed, "Our chairman developed them herself." And when someone dared to insult her, a cold voice cut through the crowd, heir to the most powerful family in the city. "Who said anything about my wife?" The crowd froze. Then, realization hit them like a truck. "Boss, we were wrong..."

After a hellish date, Hayley faces truths she never thought existed. The witch awakening is just around the corner for this young woman.

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.

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

I'm a mother in the apocolips but I have those I cherish around me so it's okay.

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

The Earth's Evolution begins with the first phase Monster Invasion, and everyone receiving a system. The system allows them to choose classes like RPG games: Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Healer, and many more. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were both shut-in gamers and stepsiblings. They were bored with normal life and yearned to live as if they were in RPG games. When suddenly the world started to change suddenly like they wanted. Li Wei selected special class, "Jack-of-all-Trades," because he desired to master everything. There was no problem and everything was going well, when suddenly he was forced to accept the quest to kill gods, along with the upgrade of his system. Little did he know that he was chosen mistakenly because of his bad luck. However, every time he kills a monster, he gains 10× more XP and rewards than a normal person, making him stronger. ___ It was when the second phase of Earth Evolution starts, making everyone stunned because it begins with 'World Rebuilding.' The Earth begins to absorb nearby worlds, changing the whole map, adding dungeons and spawning monsters. The Earth was changing, similar to fantasy world's described in games and novels. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were in trouble as people discovered their extraordinary strength; because of this they escape from the city of earth and head towards unknown forest where they stumbled upon a city from another world. The city was just like a fantasy where Adventures Guild existed with all kinds of quests. *** Author's Note: The story is slow paced, MC is overpowered and there is a lot of romance. There are also a lot of auxiliary chapters where I added the mc and his party's status such as their levels and skills.

Lucius’s childhood was anything but ordinary—or easy. He dreamed of becoming a clown, like his father, whose laughter could light up a room. But that dream was shattered the day his father left to buy milk and never returned. Left behind with a struggling family, his mother took on three jobs to support him and his younger sister. Though his childhood dream faded, Lucius worked tirelessly, eventually securing a stable job as a manager. It wasn’t glamorous, but it gave him purpose and the chance to repay his mother’s sacrifices. For the first time, he was content. But the universe had other plans. Through a twist of absurdity, Lucius is thrust into a shattered, broken world—a place teetering on the edge of ruin. He awakens in the body of another Lucius, someone eerily similar to himself, burdened with a past just as heavy. Confused and desperate, Lucius rejects the call. He is no protagonist, no hero. All he wants is to return home to his family, to the life he worked so hard to build. But when the stakes rise and the weight of the broken world bears down on him, Lucius must make an impossible choice: will he rise to the occasion, reliving an old dream in a world abandoned by even its gods? Or will he turn away, leaving the world—and its people—to their fate? In a sea of suffering, happiness lies hidden at its depths. But who among us is willing to take the plunge?

Her world revolves around him, but for him, she may not be the person he desires to have.

Would you dare to turn around?

On his 18th birthday his whole life turned around.
