[Warnung: R18+] Wenn Hass zu Liebe wird ... und Rache zu Leidenschaft ... Wird er sich für einen Neuanfang mit ihr entscheiden? ======= Phantomflakes Seele wurde von ihrem Körper getrennt, nachdem sie vor den Augen ihres Feindes, Nathan Sparks, dem obersten Anführer der Syphiruz Mafia, Selbstmord begangen hat. Sie wachte auf und musste feststellen, dass ihr Körper (der sich im Koma befand) von Nathan, dem Teufel", gefangen gehalten wurde, der versuchte, ihr Leben zu verlängern. Und was war sein Motiv? Er wollte sie eigenhändig töten und zu Tode foltern! Nathan hegt einen tiefen Groll gegen Phantomflake, da sie diejenige war, die den wertvollsten Menschen in seinem Leben ermordet hat. Er wollte Rache! Und die Dinge wurden noch aufregender, als ein magisches Wesen vor Phantoms Seele auftauchte und ihr einen lächerlichen Auftrag erteilte, damit sie ihren Körper zurückerhält. "Bring ihn dazu, sich innerhalb von 100 Tagen in dich zu verlieben!" sagte das fliegende Wesen und deutete mit seinen kleinen Pfoten auf Nathan, der ausdruckslos neben ihrem Krankenbett stand. Phantomflake verdrehte die Augen und warf dem fliegenden Wesen ein "Du willst mich wohl veräppeln"-Gesicht zu. Das gibt's doch nicht! Das ist eine unmögliche Mission! Dieser Kerl verabscheute sie so sehr. Wie sollte sie das machen?! ****** Excerpt: Nathan packte sie an ihrem Hals. "Spiel keine Streiche mit mir, Phantomflake." Nathans kalte Stimme hallte im Raum wider, seine Augen brannten vor Wut. Aber Phantomflake lächelte ihn nur an und presste ihre Hände gegen seine Brust, ihre Finger neckten ihn. "Du kannst mich nicht töten, Nate. Gib es einfach zu. Du hast dich bereits in mich verliebt." Mit einer schnellen Bewegung zog Phantomflake an seinem Hemd und schloss die Lücken zwischen ihnen, während sie ihre Lippen auf seine Lippen presste. Überraschenderweise ertappte sich Nathan dabei, wie er auf sie reagierte. Er hatte verloren! Er konnte ihr nicht widerstehen. ===== Mir gehörte das Buchcover (=";"=) Künstlerin: Bea Cortez Tritt dem Autorenserver bei, um Updates und Ankündigungen über das Buch zu erhalten.

What will he do to get his revenge? What is he willing to sacrifice for it. ------------ 1. I would like to firstly say that this is my first time writing, so don't expect everything to be perfect for a while. 2. This story is a slow/fast-paced reading. It'll have a mix of both. Some chapters will feel slower because it is, and others will feel faster because it is. 3. It does have romance in it and I wasn't sure to add cultivation because it's more like meditation and like ki gathering and things. However, after going through my thoughts, it was basically the same thing, so I just did it. 4. It's a little all over the place for I'd say the first 6–8 chapters maybe more? But It'll will slowly come together, hopefully… 5. If you do enjoy this, make sure to give it a review and ask other people to read! 6. If there are any questions at all, ask in the comments, and I'll be answering questions every 10 chapters. 7. So update to the list above ^ Romance has been removed due to it taking the first slot and having it show up primarily (I think primarily) as romance and not showing the others before you click on the actual book. It'll still have romance, so don't worry. Nothing will change 8. I would also like to clarify that this is an original work by me, and the clothes i decided to use for the characters, "hanfu" mainly, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by using it as a novel that is made within america if anyone thought anything like that. I'm simply doing it because i like the design and i think they look extremely cool and also beautiful to me. So again i don't mean any disrespect if im wording any of it wrong. I just really like them.

Um sich an ihrem Verlobten zu rächen, der sie betrogen hatte, schmiedete Xing Shu einen Plan gegen den Onkel ihres Verlobten, Cheng Lang. "Konnte mein Neffe dir nicht gefallen?" Auf einem großen, unordentlichen Bett kniff Cheng Lang Xing Shus Kinn zusammen. Der schwarze buddhistische Armreif an seinem Handgelenk schwankte hin und her. Alle sagten, Cheng Lang sei ein religiöser Mann, der sich von Frauen fernhielt. Doch nachdem sie eine Nacht mit ihm geschlafen hatte, stellte Xing Shu fest, dass es eigentlich ganz einfach war, ihn zu manipulieren. Sie brauchte ihm nur mit sanfter Stimme süße Dinge zu sagen, und er würde ihr alles geben, was sie wollte. "Herr Cheng zieht mit Xing Shu nur eine Show ab. Er wird sie sehr bald abservieren!" "Xing Shu ist eine schamlose Frau. Herr Cheng würde sich niemals in eine Frau mit solchen Hintergedanken verlieben!" Alle in Jing City warteten darauf, dass sie sich lächerlich machte, aber niemand wusste, wie Cheng Lang sie nachts ans Bett drückte. "Xing Shu, erwähne noch einmal, dass du dich scheiden lassen willst, wenn du dich traust." Seitdem wurde Cheng Lang, ein Mann, der einst auf den Altar gehörte, von Xing Shu zu Fall gebracht. Er erlebte, wie es sich anfühlte, in einer Beziehung zu sein wie ein normaler Mensch, und er fand Freude daran.

After enduring a life filled with countless injustices at the hands of a merciless system, Alastor finally breaks free. But just as he begins to plot his long-awaited revenge, he finds himself thrust into a world far more perilous than he imagined—a realm shrouded in darkness, plagued by monstrous demons, where the only sanctuary lies within the hallowed walls of the Temple of Light. Alastor, sceptical to his core, scoffs at the notion of gods and blessings. Yet, without true faith, he knows survival in this treacherous land is impossible. His only solution? Brainwash himself into unwavering devotion. But Alastor’s mind proves more treacherous than any demon. The war between his rational side and his fanatically devoted persona spirals out of control, creating an inner battle as fierce as the external one. Irrational Alastor: “The God of Light is my guiding star and my life. I’ll protect his honour at any cost!” Rational Alastor: “Are you insane? The God of Light is a scumbag. Snap out of it!” Irrational Alastor: “Silence! He is pure and perfect and I won’t hear otherwise!” Rational Alastor: “Uagh! I want to kill myself.” In a world where enemies lurk both outside and within, can Alastor reclaim control of his own mind before he’s consumed by the divine madness he’s created? Or will his greatest enemy truly be himself? Alastor: You! God of light bastard, get your hands off me or else!

Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, you may have read my other stories. I'm starting this one as a bit of a "getting back into it" story. (The synopsis will be further down) Both stories I've written will continue in the near future. (I have to re-read them because I've experienced a massive bout of memory loss.) Apologies for those of you waiting, but I had unavoidable circumstances that impeded my writing experiences. The cover isn't mine but it's been lightly photoshopped. If you want it taken down, tell me. (Signed by Author on April 25th, 2023) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

NO !! She can’t keep living her life that way suffering from her adopted parents and her sister. That is too horrible, Living the way she wants? That’s just what Xiao Ying dare not think of. Too tired , really tired of living that way. Thinking of taking her life on a lonely night, a lonely street. Xiao Ying laughed mockingly at herself walking towards the oncoming car. Screech!! stepping on the break of the car abruptly, an angry yet charming voice rang out of the car. "Hey! You should go to die elsewhere if you want to, you shouldn't do this on the road" until she heard that ice cold voice jolting her from that lonely world. It’s so pleasant to hear yet sounds so cold. Irritating her further “And why do you care where I die” she snapped back angrily. None of your business, running off to another oncoming vehicle she felt a strong arm pulling her back simply throwing her off to the pedestrian walkway by the roadside without much of a hassle. "No I don’t care you seem to be mistaken, you almost bump into my car and moreover I'm still here" Luo Jietang replied sneering. “You can do what you like after I leave” sounding so domineering, it felt like he was the one deciding when she lives. Hey!! “we should go now or I will be late for the meeting” , Speaking to his assistant he walked into his car calmly. Saying in a sarcastic tone, “Tsk!! What a pain. Want to die?, you are free to do that”. You!! …. So annoying and Nosy, she cursed angrily at the leaving car. Lying still on the floor she sobbed quietly. Asking herself inwardly “Do I really have to die?”. P.s : This is a first time for me, mistakes are unavoidable… please be gentle and support. Thank You
