I’m a sucker for gadgets, which is how I found myself in this ridiculous situation. I had just bought a shiny new Bluetooth speaker, and in my excitement to test it out, I connected it to every device in my house including my laptop, where my $200,000 Bitcoin wallet was wide open. It seemed like a harmless way to enjoy my favorite tunes while getting some work done. Little did I know that this innocent setup would lead to one of the most frustrating tech disasters of my life! Unbeknownst to me, the speaker had a bizarre bug that caused my laptop to glitch spectacularly. One minute I was jamming out to my playlist, and the next, my laptop screen froze like it was auditioning for a part in a horror movie. In a panic, I tried everything I could think of force restarts, unplugging and replugging the speaker, even some high-tech incantations that I’d picked up from years of being a tech enthusiast. But nothing worked. I was locked out of everything, including my precious wallet. It sounds absurd, I know. Here I was, locked out of my Bitcoin wallet because of a Bluetooth speaker, feeling like a character in a bad sitcom. After exhausting every tech fix under the sun and having an existential crisis about my choices, I finally threw in the towel and called Cyber Constable Intelligence. As I explained my predicament, I half-expected the person on the other end to burst out laughing. But they didn’t even bat an eye at my absurd story. Instead, they were all business, assuring me that they’d heard stranger tales and that they could help. Their team sprang into action, employing their advanced forensic tools to tackle my laptop’s glitch and recover my wallet. While I waited anxiously, I imagined all the possible outcomes—worst-case scenarios included my funds disappearing into the digital ether or being held hostage by rogue Bluetooth technology. But thankfully, Cyber Constable Intelligence was on the case. Before I knew it, they had successfully restored access to my wallet, and my $200,000 was safe and sound! I felt a rush of relief wash over me. They had not only saved my funds but also my sanity. Now, I keep my gadgets far away from my crypto, and I’ve learned to double-check my tech setups. If you ever find yourself in a gadget-induced disaster, I wholeheartedly recommend Cyber Constable Intelligence. They turned my tech blunder into a triumphant recovery, proving that no situation is too ridiculous for their expertise!

Evanna subconsciously held onto the knife still. "No, your highness," Evanna replied politely. The king glanced at the prince, and she followed his gaze. "We chop off their hands," The prince finished. Evanna watched and pulled her hand back in time for the prince's knife to slam into the table where her hand was placed. She gasped; another hand had been stabbed, sticking them to the wood. A loud yelp sounded from behind her. Within a flash, the prince stood up, pulled a sword out from his side, and swung it down on the man's wrist, dismembering the hand from his body. Blood squirted out and coated the table before her, along with her plate of food. The man fell back, wailing and holding his wrist. Evanna watched in shock as the guards came forwards and dragged him away. She looked back at the prince, who was wiping his blade with a handkerchief nonchalantly before sheathing it. Her attention was brought back to the king, who continued to eat as though nothing had happened. "Just remember that the next time you wish to steal from us." The king said lightly as he relaxed his cutlery and stared at Evanna, "You may be my son's new plaything, dressed up to look pretty, but do not fool yourself into thinking that he will release you once he is bored of you.

The heels of her shoes were hitting the floor, making a rhythmic beat that gave off a bad vibe.   She got to where I was and crouched down to my level. "Huh, poor baby," she said in a cry-like voice as she shook her head in self-pity and patted my head, then whispered    "Shh, don't cry; it will soon be over," she said, still gently patting my head.   She brought out a small, shiny silver knife that I hadn't noticed that she had been holding for a while.   "Clara, please stop whatever you are planning to do."

She coaxed me and laughed like a maniac when she saw the expression on my face.   "Please, for the sake of our friendship, please stop." I begged for mercy.   "Shut! Shut the fuck up!" She punched me in the face until her hand was colored with my blood.    I was too weak to fight back as she slashed my stomach slowly and deeply, making a pathway for the blood to flow freely like a stream.   "Honey, you don't have to stain your dress. Let the guards do this," Gabriel said as he saw my blood pouring out of my stomach's hundred-meter radius.   She dipped her hand forcefully into my stomach and brought out my under-formed fetus, then used the knife to cut the placenta that connected me and my baby.    She stabbed it repeatedly without mercy while I looked on in pain and helplessness as my baby died tragically before me.    "Raven! Bring the rest now!" She ordered in her authoritative tone that she normally uses whenever she wants something done with an immediate effect.

[WARNING: SLOW BURN] Alora decides to be the first one to use the time machine, but what she doesn't know is that her life is going to be changed for the better, or is it? She was living a happy life with her friends and other important figures in her life. Life seemed normal. Two pretty and supporting besties who are ready to sacrifice their lives for her. Their parents love her as their own. The perfect employer who loves her like her grandchild. A bunch of crazy professors. But everything changes one day, doesn't it? [Volume one] "What are you both doing in my library?" A deep voice echoed in the library. For a second, Alora thought that the birds stopped chirping and the lights dimmed down. She started feeling cold in the presence of the crown prince yet a tint of warmth always stayed there. He gave her mixed feelings. She wasn't scared of him, but she wasn't the most comfortable around him either, yet she wasn't uncomfortable too. He looked so cold, scaring her yet she wasn't scared. A tint of warmth around him always stayed making the bottom of her belly fill up with warmth. She wants to do nothing with him yet at the same time, she wants to taste his irritated, defeated flavor on her tongue. She wants to run away from him, from the feelings he was making her feel yet at the same time, she wants to break the walls that he has built around himself. His eyes weren't shiny and full of life, they were rather cold and dead. Opposite of the first prince who looked full of life. The crown prince was like a devil. He was devilishly handsome, cold yet soothing like music, and seductive as a seducer. All of these without even trying to. - "Stop me before I end up doing something we both will regret," his breath falls on her lips. "We both are already burning. What worse can happen?" He had everything under his control, his power and emotions. Then, she came along. An average-looking girl who was a mixture of mature and childish. His constant blank look started bothering her. She wanted to get under his skin to pass her time, but what she didn't know was that she was playing with the thunderstorm. But she was ready to get burned. [Volume two] "Why are you doing this to me? I know you love me, and you know I love you, so why?" "Love isn't always enough. Move on. I don't love you anymore." With this, he broke her and his heart. - "The writers were wrong when they wrote; he's haIf of my soul for he can never be haIf of my soul because he's my soul. He's the one who fills me up with joy, the reason behind my childlike giggles, my rainbow after a heavy shower, my love." " I loved you,I love you and I am always going to love you. But I will never take you back." "I wish I could take away your pain and die a hundred deaths before let pain touch you again but how big of a coward I am for thinking like this when I am the reason behind your pain." The book is set in both historical and modern eras. Discord: modestbaddie#4732 The picture doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the rightful owner. I just edited it.

/Forbidden to post. This book is not contracted by any platform./ "Wow, what happened?" The ball stopped. Who is he?" One of the comments said. The atmosphere turned off bustling. "It worked.We should be able to score." A loud shout from the Teiko team captain. Setters then provide a quick pass to their Ace.Two opposing middle blockers try to block. But it's a shame they were too late on the jump.The ball finally managed to fall under the opponent's area. "This is Shuichi Takao.Libero from Teiko school boys volleyball team." His commentary friend then replied. "It's great to be able to stop Heiji's deadly serve.The dance of the Teitan school boys' volleyball team." The commentators at the volleyball match praised Takao. The match is over. Score 2-1. The man's volleyball team from Teiko school successfully defended the first place for the fifteenth time. One week after the winter tournament. Players earn the title with their positions. Shuichi Takao has the best Libero in Japan at the junior high level. The seasons have changed. Shuichi Takao was standing in front of the school building. After graduating from middle school, Teiko continued his education. "This is the place." Takao then walked in Howaitoiguru High School. The school will be a place to study in high school.After leaving the classroom, Takao stepped into the volleyball gym.When he got there, how surprised Takao was to see the man's volleyball gymnasium which was dirty and neglected. But different from one on the side. The women's volleyball team room looks clean even the floorboards are shiny. "In fact, this school's men's volleyball team won first place and participated in national championships." The teacher looked at Takao.He had known and heard about Takao when he was in the middle school.His hunch said that the men's volleyball team would experience glory again.

Aren't you the one sitting behind me?" One of them said that. Takao then I remembered the first time he sat on his bench. He saw that there were several scary-looking people sitting in front, behind, right and left. "You?" Takao pointed at the youth with his index finger. "Finally, you remembered.Don't interfere in our business if you don't want your body to be hurt." The young man threatened me. A smile graced Takao. He then took out his cell phone which contained a video of the actions of a group of his classmates.Like I've found good news. I like volleyball too. He will do everything as long as he can play volleyball again. Members of the men's volleyball team consisting of bad boys is the most feared by all students.Would this be a challenge?

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. What you can expect from this novel: This is a time-loop-checkpoint style conquest story, and the goal is to conquer the universe. The MC is genuinely a villain and you can expect him acting as a Lawful Evil. Sarcastic toned writing style with slow flowing worldbuilding where you will come to understand the world as the story goes. It's a medium paced story filled with heavy topics, politics, war and tight plot points, sandwiched with romance-comedy breathing spaces. One female lead only, no romantic drama. But caution, this fiction may contain more romance than you can handle. You can also expect classic high fantasy tropes, mixed with science fiction similar to modern isekai/gate/space styled story, there are both magic and mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, insane and manipulative characters, character developments and connections, Seinen magazine demographic, kingdom building and military, world invasion and apocalyptic tone, with legends, myth, world lore, and fairy tale spices. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked wide open, revealing a portal. Out poured thousands upon thousands of spaceships from a so-called superior realm civilization, intent on invading this "lower" realm. But their grand plan? A spectacular flop. The invaders were stopped single-handedly by a man, King Burn of Soulnaught—the genius of the century and a notorious tyrant. Yeah, right. Despite the grand defeat, they didn’t pack up and leave. The crack remained, a celestial eyesore, while more spaceships continued to flood in. Divide et impera, indeed! Now, they'd turned to trading shiny tech trinkets with the locals, sweet-talking their way into hearts and minds. Colonization? It was practically knocking at the door. Burn, once again said, "Hell nah." War. All-out war! Because if anyone’s going to conquer the world, Burn would rather it be him—not some intergalactic interlopers. *** THAT WAS THE PLAN! Conquer the world under him, then the invaders, then whoever was behind them! But… The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!” His march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before HIS CONQUER began. That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work! "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" *** Apparently, the witch wasn't all that bad. “But aren’t you glad to see your worst enemy able to understand your point of view?” the woman smiled softly. “You should also be glad that I’m a rational and considerate type of person.” Even to her worst enemy. Resetting time for her own purposes? Apparently, she was including him in her considerations. Now Burn, ever the pragmatic, practical, and cold tyrant, found himself in a quandary. Was she a friend or a foe? Was she his worst curse or his greatest blessing? Well, let’s find out.
