The European Tragedy and Family Revival

Chapter One: The Beginning In London, a city alive with art and history, the River Thames shimmered under the sun as a grand art exhibition captivated its audience. Sophia, dressed in a luminous white gown, was the star of the event, her paintings drawing admiration from all. Among the crowd stood Antonio, a nobleman from an ancient merchant family, mesmerized by Sophia's presence. However, their budding connection was shadowed by Isabella, Antonio’s jealous cousin, who vowed to ruin their bond. Sophia and Antonio married in a quiet ceremony, but their happiness was short-lived. The day after the wedding, Antonio sent Sophia abroad under the pretense of furthering her art career, only to return to Isabella, the woman he truly loved. For Antonio, Sophia was part of a calculated scheme. Three years later, Sophia’s peaceful life was shattered by news of her mother’s terminal illness. Upon her return to London, Antonio handed her divorce papers, claiming Isabella deserved his devotion. Time and Setting Set in modern-day Europe, the story blends historical legacies with contemporary challenges. London serves as the primary stage, with the Antonio family’s ancestral estate reflecting their centuries-old wealth and traditions. Portraits of their resilient ancestors stand as a reminder of their storied past, bound by honor and prestige. Key Plotlines Romantic Turmoil: Sophia and Antonio’s love is fraught with betrayal, jealousy, and manipulation. Antonio struggles between duty to his family and his growing feelings for Sophia, while Isabella’s schemes escalate, threatening to shatter their fragile connection. Sophia’s Artistic Journey: Sophia rises as a celebrated artist, blending tradition with innovation. Criticized for compromising her artistic integrity, she uses her art to inspire social change, tackling environmental issues and mentoring young talents. Family Power Struggles: The Antonio family faces internal conflicts over wealth and leadership. Younger members push for modernization, while elders cling to tradition. Sophia becomes an unlikely mediator, helping reform the fractured family. Social Responsibility: Despite their internal strife, the Antonio family invests in philanthropy, from funding education to promoting environmental sustainability. When a global economic crisis threatens their empire, Sophia and Antonio join forces to save their legacy. Climax A financial crisis threatens the Antonio family’s empire, and Sophia’s divorce seems inevitable. Isabella spreads vicious rumors, isolating Sophia from the family. Yet, Sophia’s resilience prevails as she secures investors and proves her worth. Antonio, torn by guilt and regret, reforms the family business, and together they revive its fortunes. Through hardship, they rediscover the bond that once brought them together. Resolution Overcoming betrayal and adversity, Sophia and Antonio rebuild their trust and love. Even Isabella, recognizing the strength of their bond, steps aside. A grand wedding at Westminster Abbey marks their fresh start, symbolizing love’s triumph over turmoil. Together, they lead the family business into a new era, blending art and commerce. In their home filled with creativity, their children grow up surrounded by love, carrying forward the Antonio legacy. Under their leadership, the family’s name becomes synonymous with both artistic and business excellence. Conclusion Set against the backdrop of Europe’s cultural grandeur, this is a story of love, art, and redemption. With its themes of betrayal, resilience, and unity, it celebrates the courage to dream and the power of love to heal, leaving readers inspired by its elegance and emotional depth.

It's Just A Picture (BL)

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

MMORPG : Die Wiedergeburt des stärksten Vampirgottes

Im Jahr 2100 wurde der Menschheit das revolutionäre VR-Volltauchspiel "Omega" vorgestellt. Das Spiel war jedoch keine von Menschen entwickelte Technologie, sondern eine, die der Menschheit von einer höheren Macht gewährt wurde, um sie auf das erste Erwachen vorzubereiten. Es war nur ein Tutorial und ein Mittel, um die primitive Spezies von dem Glauben, sie sei allein im gesamten Universum, zu einem reibungslosen Übergang in das wahre, weite Universum zu bringen. Als die durchschnittliche Benutzerstufe im Spiel die vorgegebene Schwelle überschritt, endete das Tutorium schließlich und der Planet Erde erlebte ein katastrophales Ereignis, das als "Erstes Erwachen" bezeichnet wurde, als das Mana in der realen Welt genauso frei zu fließen begann wie in der virtuellen Welt und das echte universelle Bühnenspiel namens "Sigma" enthüllt wurde. Sigma" wurde von der allmächtigen KI, der universellen Königin, regiert und war die große Bühne, auf der Rassen aus dem ganzen Universum gemeinsam um Territorium, Ressourcen und Ehre kämpften. In einem Universum, in dem Fantasierassen wie Elfen, Drachen und Vampire kein Mythos, sondern reale Machtspieler sind, fanden die Menschen schnell heraus, dass sie eine der schwächsten Rassen waren, die "Sigma" spielten. In dieser verzweifelten Situation wandten sich die Menschen an ihre besten Profispieler, um sie zu retten. -------------- Max war ein Genie in der Welt von Omega und galt als die Hoffnung der Menschheit nach dem ersten Erwachen. Doch ein Unfall verkrüppelte seine Mana-Adern und führte dazu, dass er in Sigma als mannloser Abschaum eingestuft wurde! Da er als hoffnungslos und unverbesserlich galt, wurde er schnell vom Helden zum Nullpunkt, und die Welt ignorierte ihn. Zehn Jahre lang, seit dem ersten Erwachen, lebte er das Leben eines manalosen Abfalls und wurde zu einem Abschaum der Gesellschaft, der langsam seinen Stolz, seine Besitztümer und schließlich seine Identität verlor. Am Ende starb er einen tragischen und schmerzhaften Tod, als er es nicht schaffte, seinen jungen Neffen und seine Nichte vor Angreifern zu retten. Doch das war nicht das Ende von Max' Geschichte, sondern erst der Anfang, denn er wurde in der Zeit vor dem ersten Erwachen reinkarniert, bevor sein Untergang begann! Bewaffnet mit dem Wissen um die Zukunft, sehen Sie, wie Max in seinem zweiten Leben nach dem Gipfel strebt und mit Mut und Hartnäckigkeit gegen sein Schicksal kämpft. ------- Meine anderen Werke - MMORPG: Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master Terra Nova Online: Rise Of The Strongest Player (Aufstieg des stärksten Spielers) Bösewicht mit dem stärksten System discord link :- https://discord.gg/KJtRdwcW94

To secure his survival, Nathan must navigate divine politics, outwit his rivals, and inspire his people to believe in him above all others.
