Bebe Shark

That not so important character turned out to be important

Shaun’s life was already in free-fall: fired from a suspiciously shady job, drowning his sorrows in questionable alcohol, and wrapping things up with a classic car crash. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, decided this wasn’t rock bottom—nope, Shaun was getting reincarnated. But not as a hero. Not even as a sidekick. Nope, Shaun wakes up as **Shaun** (no, not a typo)—a tragic background extra from a fantasy novel. You know, the kind of character whose job is to exist solely for pain, ridicule, and the occasional wallet-theft subplot. This Shaun? Father walked out. Mother ghosted him for a "better future." Property sharks, mobsters, and scam artists all sniffing around what little he owns. But hey, he somehow clawed his way into a prestigious academy! A chance at redemption, right? Wrong. Enter stage left: bullies. First, the villains make him a punching bag. Then the so-called *heroes* decide, "Yeah, let’s take turns too!" Normally, this poor soul would accept his fate, because that’s what he’s written to do. But reincarnated Shaun? He didn’t read that memo. He has… let’s say, *creative solutions* to his problems. Where the original Shaun took beatings with a grimace, this Shaun hands out payback with a cold smile and zero guilt. Bullies? Meet karma, wielded like a sledgehammer. But something’s off. The script’s changing. People are acting weird. They’re *recognizing* him, approaching him like they know secrets he hasn’t been briefed on. And that internal monologue habit he has? Turns out it’s not so internal anymore. A growing number of eavesdroppers think his sarcastic, third-person narration is… important.

Rebuilding the business empire

In the bustling and noisy modern metropolis, Ye Chen once stood at the pinnacle of wealth, with a personal fortune of 400 billion yuan in his hands. His name was like a thunderclap in the business world, an object of admiration and envy for countless people. However, fate played an extremely cruel joke on him, and a sudden accident brought his life to an abrupt end. When Ye Chen regained consciousness again, he found himself miraculously reborn and thrown back sixty years ago. The world before his eyes was both strange and familiar. The dilapidated streets and simple houses all told of the poverty and backwardness of that era. And he himself was no longer the glorious business magnate but a despised, penniless gambler. His wife, the woman who had once accompanied him through thick and thin, was now full of disappointment and determination, only begging him to sign the divorce papers to completely break free from this painful marriage. His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again. What was worse, those loan sharks who lent money at exorbitant interest rates were like wolves, closely watching him and constantly issuing threatening ultimatums for him to pay back the money. The slightest mistake would subject him to their ruthless and violent debt collection. However, Ye Chen was not crushed by this difficult situation. Relying on the memories and experiences of the sixty years from his previous life, he began his desperate counterattack. He knew full well the huge changes and opportunities that this era was about to usher in. Starting from small businesses on the street corners, he gradually accumulated his first pot of gold by making precise judgments about future business trends. As time went by, his business empire continued to expand, covering multiple fields such as manufacturing, real estate, and technology. The innovative products and business models he launched led the tides of the times time and time again, shocking the entire business world. During this process, he encountered the envy and suppression of countless competitors. They united to try to stop Ye Chen's rise. But Ye Chen, with his wisdom and courage, skillfully resolved one crisis after another and instead turned the attacks of his opponents into the driving force for his progress. In the game with various forces, Ye Chen gradually built a business empire that was unrivaled in the world. His enterprises spread all over the world, providing employment opportunities for countless people and promoting the development of the global economy. And he himself, from a despised gambler, had become a respected business legend. Finally, standing at the top of his business empire, Ye Chen looked back on the past with mixed feelings. He had rewritten his fate with his rebirth and created a business myth that shook the world, becoming an eternal legend.

Undercover Superstar: The Birth of Xiaolang

DISCLAIMER: I am currently revising and rewriting this novel from scratch. As long as this disclaimer is still here, it means it's still being revised. It is exclusively only being polished here on Webnovel. So if you read it on another site (that stole from here), then those sites will only have the outdated versions. Latest revision: October 2024 ----- Li Tian is the hottest young male artist within the South of Huaxia. With his stunning good looks and sultry deep voice, people all around can’t help but swoon. Not to mention being a member of the renowned Li Family and born with a silver spoon, a deep arrogance was ingrained into his bones. Hardly a likable character, but hey, he is THE Li Tian. And life is great for our adorable Tian Tian. Unfortunately, not just readers dislike our arrogant ML. Included in his filthy rich lifestyle is a sea full of sharks that just can’t wait for the moment he bleeds a little. Thus he needs to find a way to get away from it all. A way to blend in with the crowd and be... someone else. Obviously with his obnoxious attitude, being low profile and reigning in his tongue is ANYTHING but easy... _______________________________ This is a prologue to Undercover Superstar: A Song of Pyros and Snowflakes Thus I plan on finishing it as soon as possible!

Villain: I Shall NTR All The Sons Of Destiny's

Read My Second Work: http://wbnv.in/a/e6ieLLY Name: The Lustful Young Master Has A System!. You can either search for it or look in my profile, you'll find it the both way! ### I was a normal kid... a kid who wanted nothing other than a happy family. Was that too much to ask for? So, why did everything turn out this way? Was asking for a normal, caring family too much that everything became worse? Why did it come to this? Why was my innocent mother murdered? Why did they do it? ... These were the thoughts running through the mind of the 4-year-old boy as he watched an unknown man—someone he had never seen in his entire life—scar him, kill his mother, and slaughter his entire family. At that moment, something clicked inside him—a burning desire to avenge his mother, who had shielded him from his abusive father. His father would come home late, drunk, and beat him and his mother, taking out his frustration over unpaid debts and the persistent threats from the loan shark. After all that messed-up shit, good things started happening to him. He was adopted by loving new parents and received a teacher who genuinely wanted to help him improve every day. But after all he’d endured, his mindset had changed entirely at a young age. Nobody could be trusted, and only the dead could keep their mouths shut. With this mindset, he manipulated everyone around him to maintain a peaceful life so he could peacefully kill every member of the Vorontsov bloodline—the ones who caused his suffering. ### He did everything he could: research, spending money without a care, hiring mercenaries, and achieving the revenge he so desperately sought. But in the end, he felt empty—a soul without any purpose, which led him to take his own life right after accomplishing his revenge. But was that all? Of course not. After he died, something amazing, eye-popping, and hard to believe happened—he somehow reincarnated into an unknown world where the strong rule and the weak kneel. A world where immortality is not a dream, and the power to destroy millions of universes with a single snap is a reality. This was the new reality for Ivan, who longed to rest in his mother’s embrace after all that had happened. Upon reincarnation, he also received something else: a magical entity called "The Netori System." A system that empowers him if he NTRs others and takes their wives or girlfriends. It also told him something he thought impossible—that he could even revive his mother who died years ago. With a new purpose driving him, he set out to NTR everyone, especially those called "Sons of Destiny," who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. *** This is a slow-paced novel.

RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY CONTACT SPIDER WEB SECURITY

Losing access to your cryptocurrency wallet is bad enough, but realizing that someone close to you, a person you trusted was behind it? That’s a gut punch I wasn’t prepared for. Unfortunately, that was my reality when I found out my ex-girlfriend had stolen $145,000 from my wallet. The betrayal was real, the access was gone, and I was left staring at my screen in a mix of shock and disbelief. I felt like I had been hit by a digital train, and it wasn’t slowing down anytime soon. Desperation doesn’t begin to describe how I felt. I mean, $145,000? That’s not pocket change! My first instinct was to panic, which I did, quite thoroughly. But after hours of hopeless Googling and probably enough coffee to fuel a small nation, I came across SPIDER WEB SECURITY. At that point, it felt like I’d found a lifeboat in a sea of sharks—and I wasn’t wrong. The moment I reached out, SPIDER WEB SECURITY approached my case like seasoned pros. They didn’t give me false hope or make wild promises, but they assured me that my case was in good hands. And boy, did they deliver. Their team handled my wallet recovery with the kind of precision you’d expect from brain surgeons except, you know, for crypto. They explained their process clearly, kept me informed at every step, and didn’t disappear into the ether like I feared my money had. Their communication was so on point, I almost wished I could hire them to manage my life. Despite the gravity of the situation, the team never lost their professionalism or their sense of empathy. They knew I wasn’t just losing digital coins; I had lost trust in someone close, and that hurt more than anything. But SPIDER WEB SECURITY wasn’t just about getting my $145,000 back. They were about restoring my confidence in the cryptocurrency space. And let’s not forget they did it fast. I wasn’t stuck waiting in limbo, biting my nails down to the bone. And oh, did I mention the price transparency? Not a single surprise fee, no hidden costs, and no vague "we'll let you know" nonsense. They were upfront from start to finish, which was refreshing in a world where everything seems to come with fine print.Long story short, if you’ve been locked out of your crypto, whether it’s from a simple mistake or a betrayal that could rival a soap opera, don’t panic (like I did). SPIDER WEB SECURITY will not only recover your assets but also help you sleep better at night. They certainly did for me.  Email:  Spidercloud@programmer.net Website: www.spiderwebsecurityonline.com Whatsapp: +1 (253) 262‑9580

DIRTY SECRET AH: my bad haters

How to Tame Your Demi-Girl

[Discontinued - But you can still read it if you want to, as it covers the entirety of the first arc with a decent ending] "What?! You want to make ice cream with the breast milk, you sucked out my breasts the other day?!" The Cow Girl with two sets of breasts, asked me in shock, while I was squeezing her chest, to fill up another canister full of fresh breast milk. "No, Luca! There's no way I'm allowing you to cook a sausage, by stuffing it up my secret place! That's too embarrassing!" The Salamander Girl, who's body was made of fire and scales, denied my small request, even though her fiery body was the perfect temperature to cook me up, a good old hotdog. "Okay, fine...I'll let you finger my gills. But do it slowly, since I'm sensitive there." The Shark Girl, who had razor sharp teeth and a long shark tail, agreed to let me have a little fun with her gill slits on her abdomen, that she used to breath when she went underwater. Do you want to know how all these crazy situations came out to be? Then read this damn novel, that transported me into this strange world full of adorable demi-girls, and find out for yourself. [Warning: This is a story made by a Degenerate, to cater towards Degenerates like myself. There will be many intense 18+ scenes, that you never could have imagined to ever exist in any form of media, in this story. So I advice people, who only enjoy the standard erotic scenes you see in every other novel, to ignore this piece of work and move on.] [And also, I highly request you to read the prologue of the story, so that you can understand what you're getting into.]

The Legend of Shadow Knight

Hello my dear Earthlings, It is official now. From December 16, 2023, the Gregorian calendar I am an earthling too. It is not because I was born on that day. Rather, because I was reborn that day. I am what you call a transmigrator. I am now occupying the body of the earthling named Tej. He was struggling as a writer while stewing in a full-time day job that he hated. Yes, you read it right. I am a transmigrator. Very much like the ones you have read about in other novels on this platform. I am from a world completely different from Earth. But I am sure that most of you who are reading this are familiar with a world like that. It is the world of magic. A world with mana, mages, knights. Rogue bandits, dark forces, demonic beasts, divine churches. Familiar, isn’t it? As you might have guessed, because of mana’s presence an individual can get way too powerful. Our development is focused on Mana. In a way most of our methods of travel, the tools of war, and many more are very much archaic. Our world’s power revolves around a few powerful individuals who rule over millions. Because those few individuals hold the power to destroy millions within their bodies. In that world people with talent and power aim to be the strongest and fight for what they want. In that world, I was born with decent talent. But I wasn't obsessed with power. I was obsessed with the stories. Stories and legends of great heroes, villains, and monsters passed from generations. With that fascination, I cultivated my talents to the fullest potential. I dreamt of traveling the world and unearthing the legends. I wanted to make them known throughout the world. Just like the former Tej, I wanted to be a storyteller as well. And unlike Tej, I have had some success. From the first exploration I embarked to capture the story of the Golden Knight capturing the Draconic Shark, I have covered many stories. Including the legend of the shadow knight, the revenge of the fallen angel, the conquest of the forgotten land and many more. I have followed those events, investigated them and even seen some, met the people involved in it. I wrote those stories so the rest of the world could read them. I did all of that along with a special innovation of mine that could capture images. It does the same job as the thing that you call a camera. In your world, I am what you might consider an investigative journalist. I spent my whole life exploring stories. I have seen my world change bit by bit. I have seen one man destroy it, another man rebuild it, a several trying to preserve it and many more trying to conquer it. It is safe to say I had a great and meaningful life. When I was lying on my deathbed at an old age, I had a smile on my face as I looked at the world outside of my window. I knew I was dying with no regrets. Next thing I knew, I am in the body of this young man, Tej. I got accustomed to this new world with no mana, no magic, but equally convenient if not more, I must say. As much as I was fascinated by the novel inventions and the busier-than-god lifestyles, I was saddened by Tej’s life. I can only say, that he didn’t die the same way that I did. He died a life full of regrets, all the sorrow he suppressed within… In a way, death must have been a release for him and I wish all the peace for his soul. And I found my purpose. To honor the soul of Tej, I shall tell the stories of my world to you on his behalf and in his name. I shall make his name known as a great storyteller. (Note: So, keep my transmigration part a secret. Let’s just keep it between us.) And I will start with my first story. The Legend of the Shadow Night. Its a story of one man's ambition, one man's loss and one man's retaliation. So, interpret as you may and make a judgment on your own. Disclaimer: For convenience sake, I will use Tej as my name in the Story as well.

The Perfect Ploy

"You were fun while it lasted." I turned around flinching. It was Thabang. He started at me with a grimace plastered across his face. "You know, if it wasn't for you, I would not have been able to accomplish the things I did. So thank you." he spoke again. "Why?" I asked tears streaming down my face. "You were easy and pathetic. You had a good credit score and you gave me the power to do so." He told me proudly. "I love you." I tell him. "I never did." He tells me. "But you told me you did!" I cried. "Why would I be in love with a slut?" he asked me. "What?" I asked shocked that HE called me a slut. "What? you didn't see yet?" he asked amused. I stared at him confused and he laughed. Thabang took his phone out and showed me a video. It was a porn video of ME! I stared horrified at the video. It was me having sex with a stranger. I never had sex with the stranger in this video. "That's not me." I let out. "Tsk...Kgaugelo, Evidence never lies." he said to me grimacing. My phone was being flooded profusely with notifications. I was being flooded with emails from brands whom I had been collaborating with. The brands I had been working with we're cancelling our contract. Some emails were from the bank about large sums of money being withdrawn from my account to pay off loans. I stared at Thabang and he looked unfazed and content. "Why?" I sobbed as I stared at him. "Why not?" He counter-attacked. "I love you. I sacrificed everything for you." I tell him. "Who said you should?" he asked me. "Did I ever ask you to love me? Did I force you to sacrifice everything for me?" He asked amused. "Piece of advice. Don't just fall for words because that's how you get hurt." He whispered against my ears.
