Prithee, speak not of billions in reward 'til thou doth lay low Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. Until then, relish thy modest crumbs, mortal!" "Talk normally!" Rex screamed You’ve merely vanquished the god of brawls, Ares. When you manage to take down Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades, then we can talk about real rewards. Until then, enjoy your pocket change!"

Iris, The Prelude of Clones

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.

Treacherous hearts: Return of the Second Male Lead

Chapter excerpt: Charlton knew what was running in her head and in truth he wanted to mock her. ’You truly are a whore, aren’t you?’ he wanted to say. However, he was not planning to make this a one-time thing and he had more in store for her. So instead, he leaned forward as he started kissing her tears away. "Serena, I love you so much, do you know that? So please, don’t give me that look." Serena’s tears did not stop but what was the use. They were already like this and no matter how much she denies it, that she even let something like this happen… there’s only one conclusion. She still loved Charlton. Or at least she was that greedy for his love. She could not push him away so she could only raise her arms and envelope him in her embrace. "We’re going to burn in hell for this…." She whispered. Charlton burrowed his head on the juncture of her neck. He licked and kissed that part, careful not to leave a mark as they still will be meeting with the others later. He smirked when he felt her tremble. Why was she so easy? Regardless, he was enjoying what she can offer before he ruins her himself. "All the more reason to get as much heaven as we can now." He said, then he started moving. -- A year after his father’s death, grand duke Charlton Daniel finally responds to the summon of his uncle, the king, to return to the capital. Of course, his reason for compliance was not due to his subservience to the crown. Four years ago, his life has been turned upside down. His lover betrayed him for his cousin, the crown prince. His father was sent to prison because of a crime with dubious evidence. While he, himself, was sent to exile with a mission to capture the revolutionists. All of which, he took in strides because of his steadfast belief in humanity and justice. However, time changes everyone. Four years may seem short, but to some, it’s enough to change their perceptions and priorities. Once a pacifist at heart, Charlton is now going to return to the royal capital with a personal vendetta. -- To the public eye, Serena William, nee Maxwell, was living the perfect life. She was beautiful, rich, happily married, and has the unwavering support of her maternal family. Oh, and did I mention that she was also the crown princess and the most loved personage? Yes, that she was. Kind, generous, and approachable. She was a woman who was completely unlike any other. No one in the royal family was as well loved by the masses as she was. At least, that’s how her life was perceived to be. Behind closed doors, life was not as glamoured up as it was in the tabloids. Her first pregnancy ended up in stillbirth, while the next two ended up in miscarriages. Was this her retribution? She could not help but ask herself. This led to her guilt and self-blame which further developed her insecurity, and even inferiority complex. Aside from what she was undergoing herself, it doesn’t help that the queen mother kept on rubbing salt to injury by implying that she should let her lady-in-waiting, the queen’s first choice for crown princess, take over. Crown prince Geoffrey William was Serena’s saving grace, her knight in the shining armor, the man who sticked with her through thick and thin. Would she ever be willing to make way for another woman for his own good? Then worse, comes her old flame who seems to still be enamored with her. What lengths would she be willing to take to keep the pandora’s box shut? However, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What will she do when she later finds out what her greatest champion did to her? -- Hearts will break, heads will roll. All is fair in love and war. This novel is not for the faint hearted. — This novel is the sequel to the first titled, ‘Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the Villainess’, and is set four (4) years after the royal wedding. (But you don’t need to read the first to understand this one, sequence is not important)
