Alt Draw

In the world of Aetheria, where mastery over elemental energies dictates power and survival, Kaito is a young warrior burdened by a unique and volatile power – Azure Soulfire. Unlike the common elemental affinities, Soulfire draws directly from the user's life force, granting immense power at a terrible cost. Ostracized and feared for his dangerous ability, Kaito seeks to control his flames and uncover the truth behind their origin. His journey leads him through treacherous landscapes, ancient ruins, and into conflict with powerful factions, all while battling the constant threat of his own power consuming him.

Beneath the vast and infinite starry skies of the universe, countless tribes engage in endless strife, and the flames of war remain unquenched. Rising from insignificance, he possessed no exceptional talents, except for the ability to draw upon the fruits of cultivation from the future. Yet, in a single night, he understood the Dao, and took a step that shattered the shackles of life. With but a thought, he grasped the universal powers, casually breaking down the barriers between spirit and reality. To him, even the most profound and enigmatic of secret tomes were as simple and dull as children's books. Still, he had to go back and fill in the gaps of his cultivation... Some appeared to be glorious, unparalleled geniuses. In reality, they practiced like mad in the shadows to repay their debts...

Su Chengyu took the blame for his wife and went to prison for three years. Upon release, he realized that she had betrayed him. Despite this, he benefited from misfortune and comprehended the Dao, stepping into the world of immortal cultivators. He could easily master immortal techniques and ancient martial arts. He could also refine pills, draw talismans, treat illnesses, and save people at will! Su Chengyu postured crazily in the Red Dust City, vowing to find out the truth behind the death of his 127 Su family members 26 years ago.

In Forge of Fate, Kalem, a young blacksmith with a unique gift for forging perfectly balanced weapons, discovers a legendary material that draws the attention of powerful forces across a fractured world.

His obsession with rare materials and his newfound discovery could either forge peace or ignite a war. With rival factions closing in, Kalem’s craftsmanship will shape the fate of the world—whether for good or ill.

Wenyan leyó un libro en el que un personaje secundario que compartía su nombre era una falsa heredera. Después de que la verdadera heredera asumiera su posición, la impostora intentó asegurar su lugar en la familia adinerada drogando al hijo mayor y haciendo un hecho consumado de un arroz cocido, solo para ser desenmascarada por la Familia Shen y terminar suicidándose en la desesperación. Wenyan estaba furiosa de ver tal final. ¿Cómo no se podría sobrevivir sin el respaldo de una familia adinerada? ¿Acaso la familia no le había proporcionado una casa de lujo y un sinfín de artículos de lujo? Solo vender esos le reportaría decenas de millones. ¡Ella era simplemente un caso perdido! Si ella fuera la Wenyan del libro, habría renunciado a su posición y simplemente habría vivido relajada como un pez salado! Pero cuando despertó de su sueño, realmente transmigró al libro. Fiel a su palabra, dejó de conspirar. De la noche a la mañana empacó sus maletas, vendió su casa, coche y bolsos, y buscó un trabajo. Toda la Familia Shen notó el cambio en Wenyan, su hija adoptada. No solo se había mudado obedientemente, sino que también nunca causó problemas de nuevo. Aún más extraño fue que ahora podían ver sus pensamientos más íntimos. «Papá, Mamá, nunca quise usurpar su nido, pero los resultados de la prueba de ADN de la verdadera hija tienen problemas. De hecho, ella es incluso más falsa que yo, la supuesta heredera.», pensó. Padres de la Familia Shen: ...... Entonces, la 'hija' perdida y encontrada fue expuesta como una impostora y llevada por la policía para ser interrogada. «Hermano mayor, ese compañero de colegio tuyo no es bueno, es un espía corporativo, el hijo ilegítimo de los archienemigos de la Familia Shen.», pensó. El hijo mayor de la Familia Shen: ...... Después, el compañero fue sorprendido robando documentos confidenciales y también fue llevado por la policía para ser interrogado. «Segundo hermano, eres una persona tan pura y noble, no debes estar con la hija de la Familia Qin, ella solo te está usando, su corazón en realidad está puesto en alguien más.», pensó. El segundo hijo de la Familia Shen: ...... Gracias, lo investigaré. «Y tercer hermano, cuarto hermano......», pensó. Al final, nadie podría haber predicho que la hija adoptada menos distinguida de la Familia Shen se convertiría en la mimada nuera.

Wenyan membaca sebuah buku di mana karakter pelengkap yang membagi namanya adalah seorang pewaris palsu. Setelah pewaris sebenarnya menempati posisinya, sang penipu mencoba mengamankan posisinya di keluarga kaya dengan mendoping putra tertua dan membuat urusan selesai dengan nasi sudah menjadi bubur, hanya untuk diungkap oleh Keluarga Shen dan akhirnya melakukan bunuh diri dalam keputusasaan. Wenyan marah melihat akhir cerita seperti itu. Bagaimana mungkin seseorang tidak bisa bertahan hidup tanpa dukungan keluarga kaya? Bukankah keluarga telah menyediakan rumah mewah dan banyak barang mewah? Menjual semua itu saja bisa mendapatkan puluhan juta. Dia hanya kasus yang tidak berharap! Jika dia adalah Wenyan dalam buku itu, dia akan menyerahkan posisinya dan menjalani hidup santai seperti ikan asin! Namun, ketika dia bangun dari tidurnya, dia benar-benar terpindah ke dalam buku itu. Sesuai dengan ucapannya, dia berhenti merencanakan. Semalaman dia mengemas barangnya, menjual rumah, mobil, dan tas, dan mencari pekerjaan. - Seluruh Keluarga Shen menyadari perubahan pada Wenyan, putri angkat mereka. Tidak hanya dia pindah dengan patuh, tetapi dia juga tidak pernah membuat masalah lagi. Lebih anehnya lagi adalah bahwa sekarang mereka bisa melihat pikiran terdalamnya! 【Ayah, Ibu, saya tidak pernah ingin merebut sarang kalian, tetapi hasil tes DNA putri sebenarnya memiliki masalah. Bahkan, dia lebih palsu daripada saya, si pewaris palsu.】 Orang tua Keluarga Shen: ...... Kemudian 'putri' yang telah lama hilang dan baru ditemukan terungkap sebagai penipu dan dibawa oleh polisi untuk diinterogasi. 【Kakak, teman sekolahmu itu tidak baik, dia adalah mata-mata perusahaan, anak haram dari musuh besar Keluarga Shen.】 Putra tertua Keluarga Shen: ...... Setelah itu, teman sekolahnya tertangkap mencuri dokumen rahasia dan juga dibawa oleh polisi untuk diinterogasi. 【Adik kedua, kamu adalah orang yang murni dan mulia, kamu seharusnya tidak bersama dengan putri Keluarga Qin, dia hanya menggunakanmu, hatinya sebenarnya tertuju pada orang lain.】 Putra kedua Keluarga Shen: ...... Terima kasih, aku akan menyelidikinya. 【Dan adik ketiga, adik keempat......】 Pada akhirnya, tidak ada yang bisa memprediksi bahwa putri angkat paling tidak menonjol dari Keluarga Shen akan menjadi menantu perempuan yang dimanja.

Wenyan leu um livro no qual uma personagem coadjuvante que compartilhava seu nome era uma herdeira falsa. Depois que a verdadeira herdeira assumiu seu lugar, a impostora tentou garantir seu lugar na família rica drogando o filho mais velho e fazendo um fato consumado de um arroz cozido, apenas para ser desmascarada pela Família Shen e acabar cometendo suicídio em desespero. Wenyan ficou furiosa ao ver tal desfecho. Como alguém não poderia sobreviver sem o apoio de uma família rica? Não lhe havia a família proporcionado uma casa luxuosa e inúmeros bens de luxo? Apenas vendendo-os já arrecadaria dezenas de milhões. Ela era apenas um caso perdido! Se ela fosse a Wenyan do livro, teria abdicado de sua posição e apenas vivido relaxadamente como um peixe salgado! Mas quando ela acordou de seu sono, ela realmente transmigrou para dentro do livro. Fiel à sua palavra, ela parou de tramar. Durante a noite ela arrumou suas malas, vendeu sua casa, carro e bolsas, e procurou um emprego. - A Família Shen inteira notou a mudança em Wenyan, sua filha adotiva. Não só ela havia se mudado obedientemente, mas nunca mais causou nenhum problema. Ainda mais bizarro era que agora eles podiam ver seus pensamentos mais íntimos! 【Pai, Mãe, eu nunca quis usurpar seu ninho, mas os resultados do teste de DNA da verdadeira filha têm problemas. Na verdade, ela é ainda mais falsa do que eu, a herdeira falsa.】 Pais da Família Shen: ...... Então a 'filha' há muito perdida que havia sido encontrada foi exposta como uma impostora e levada pela polícia para interrogatório. 【Irmão mais velho, aquele colega seu não é bom, ele é um espião corporativo, filho ilegítimo dos arqui-inimigos da Família Shen.】 Filho mais velho da Família Shen: ...... Posteriormente, o colega foi pego roubando documentos confidenciais e também foi levado pela polícia para interrogatório. 【Segundo irmão, você é uma pessoa tão pura e nobre, você não deve estar com a filha da Família Qin, ela está apenas usando você, o coração dela está de fato em outro.】 Segundo filho da Família Shen: ...... Obrigado, vou investigar isso. 【E terceiro irmão, quarto irmão......】 No final, ninguém poderia ter previsto que a filha adotiva mais discreta da Família Shen se tornaria a nora mimada.

"Ich, Logan Carter, Alpha des Mondsichel-Rudels, lehne dich, Emma Parker vom Mondsichel-Rudel, ab." Ich spürte, wie mein Herz brach. Leon heulte in mir, und ich konnte seinen Schmerz spüren. Sie sah mich direkt an, und ich konnte den Schmerz in ihren Augen sehen, aber sie weigerte sich, ihn zu zeigen. Die meisten Wölfe fallen vor Schmerz in die Knie. Ich wollte auf die Knie fallen und mich an die Brust krallen. Aber sie tat es nicht. Sie stand mit hoch erhobenem Kopf da. Sie holte tief Luft und schloss ihre wunderschönen Augen. "Ich, Emma Parker vom Mondsichelrudel, akzeptiere deine Ablehnung." Als Emma 18 Jahre alt wird, ist sie überrascht, dass ihr Gefährte der Alpha ihres Rudels ist. Aber ihre Freude darüber, ihren Gefährten gefunden zu haben, währte nicht lange. Ihre Gefährtin hat sie für eine stärkere Wölfin verstoßen. Diese Wölfin hasst Emma und will sie loswerden, aber das ist nicht das Einzige, womit Emma zu kämpfen hat. Emma findet heraus, dass sie keine gewöhnliche Wölfin ist und dass es Menschen gibt, die sie benutzen wollen. Sie sind gefährlich. Sie werden alles tun, um zu bekommen, was sie wollen. Was wird Emma tun? Wird ihr Gefährte bereuen, dass er sie zurückgewiesen hat? Wird ihre Gefährtin sie vor den Menschen um sie herum retten?

Wenyan lisait un livre dans lequel un personnage de chair à canon portant son nom était une fausse héritière. Lorsque la véritable héritière reprenait sa place, l'imposteur essayait de sécuriser sa position dans la riche famille en droguant le fils aîné et en en faisant un fait accompli avec une histoire de riz déjà cuit, pour finir par être démasquée par la Famille Shen et se suicider dans le désespoir. Wenyan était furieuse de voir une telle fin. Comment ne pourrait-on pas survivre sans le soutien d'une famille aisée ? La famille ne lui avait-elle pas fourni une maison de luxe et d'innombrables biens de luxe ? Il suffirait de vendre tout cela pour empocher des dizaines de millions. Elle était simplement un cas désespéré ! Si elle avait été la Wenyan du livre, elle aurait abandonné sa place et simplement vécu décontractée comme un poisson salé ! Mais lorsqu'elle se réveilla de son sommeil, elle avait réellement été transportée dans le livre. Fidèle à sa parole, elle arrêta de comploter. En une nuit, elle fit ses valises, vendit sa maison, sa voiture et ses sacs, et chercha un emploi. - Toute la Famille Shen remarqua le changement chez Wenyan, leur fille adoptive. Non seulement elle avait déménagé docilement, mais elle n'avait également jamais causé d'ennuis à nouveau. Plus bizarre encore, ils pouvaient maintenant voir ses pensées les plus intérieures ! 【Papa, Maman, je n'ai jamais voulu usurper votre nid, mais les résultats du test ADN de votre véritable fille ont des problèmes. En fait, elle est encore plus fausse que moi, la fausse héritière.】 Parents de la Famille Shen : ...... Puis, la 'fille' perdue de longue date qui avait été retrouvée fut exposée en tant qu'imposteur et emmenée par la police pour interrogatoire. 【Grand frère, ce camarade de classe à toi n'est pas fréquentable, il est un espion industriel, l'enfant illégitime des plus grands ennemis de la Famille Shen.】 L'aîné de la Famille Shen : ...... Par la suite, le camarade s'est fait prendre en volant des documents confidentiels et a également été emmené par la police pour interrogatoire. 【Deuxième frère, tu es une personne si pure et noble, tu ne dois pas être avec la fille de la Famille Qin, elle se sert de toi, son cœur est en réalité porté sur quelqu'un d'autre.】 Le deuxième fils de la Famille Shen : ...... Merci, je vais me renseigner. 【Et toi, troisième frère, quatrième frère ......】 Au final, personne n'aurait pu prédire que la plus insignifiante des filles adoptives de la Famille Shen deviendrait la belle-fille choyée.

"Willst du wissen, wie das funktioniert?", flüsterte er. "Ja!" keuchte ich als Antwort auf sein Ziehen an meinen Haaren. "Ich will es wissen."

The ideological and moral education class in junior high school taught us: Grasp both hands, and both hands must be strong.

Humanity is bound by the constraints of fate. We are allotted a finite lifespan, our paths in life set in stone before we are born. Our transgressions and virtues preordained, as is the duration of our existence. But what if a person had no fate? If they were to perish, what then? Would their soul be wiped clean, Or might they be reborn, this time shackled to a preprepared destiny? Or Would they simply cease to be, never to draw breath again? The answers to such questions remain shrouded in mystery. Only the unfathomable forces governing our universes could provide definitive answers.

"Let me take a look." Mr. Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my Mr.. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Mr. Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life.
