Veronica Rosenblatt is the only daughter of one of the great families of the Belsamel Empire. In the highest privileged society, where infidelity was equated with state treason, Veronica - the offspring of adultery and the dirty stain of six great races grew. Living in the cold shadows of the estate’s corridors, unloving, uncaring, on a short leash so tightly held by her father and second brother, Veronica set everything on a shimmering possibility: hatred for one’s own family. Leon Kir-Erdey is an outstanding serviceman, an aristocrat. A young man with a fine reputation without a single blemish. "Isn’t that an attractive offer? I know what you want with all your heart and I’m ready to give it to you. Is not marriage a small price to pay for the great cause?" "It’s more like a deal with the devil than a marriage proposal." The game of chess where until the last one knows who will win. Yes, and that victory will satisfy all the hidden desires? All the means are good? People, money, power, reputation, feelings and freedom. There is too much at stake. But the world outside the family estate turned out to be too intoxicating. Unknown feelings cannot turn your head. "Let’s just do what we have to do, dear. Stay out of my business, and I will stay out of yours.”

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

Years later, peculiar rumors about the Yang Family spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World. "To break through from the Fetal Breathing Stage to the Qi Refinement Realm, one needs to refine a strand of heavenly and earth's spiritual energy. I've heard of Red Flame True Qi, Xuan Water True Qi, and Green Wood Spirit Energy, but Yang Dao-friend, this... Liquefied Natural Gas, what kind of spiritual energy is it? How is it condensed?" "I've heard that the Yang Family's Spiritual Plant Technique is incredibly sophisticated, with each mu of Spirit Rice yielding twice as much as top-tier Spirit Plant Families, all thanks to a strange secret technique the family disciples cultivate called 'hybridization'." "The Yang Family’s art of elixirs is unrivaled in the world, with new elixirs constantly being created. It is rumored that a spirit of the elixir named 'Artificial Intelligence' tirelessly deduces elixir recipes day and night..." "Nowadays, the Thunder Cultivators of the Yang Family are exceptionally strong, all thanks to the Yang Family's effort in creating a top-tier Thunder Gathering Array. Thunder Cultivators who enter this array can increase their cultivation speed multiple times. It is said that the array eye is known as—the power station." As the Yang Immortal Cultivation Family grew stronger, Yang Genshuo actually became the only Immortal in the modern world by consuming offerings! Years later, facing an endless stream of people ascending the mountain to seek the Dao, Yang Genshuo calmly said, "There are no immortals in this world; you must believe in science!" Then he soared away on his flying sword.

When the reincarnated son of the Demon-Lord finally decides to foregore what little memories he has of his past life, in favor of a new life here in the demon realm, something... odd, instead ends up happening on his 16th birthday. {Main Quest} •Capture the King of the Demon-realm and Defeat the new hero of Per Sempre {Reward} •Return to your past life and exact revenge on your killer(s) Suddenly motivated by new memories of the mother he left behind, and the mystery behind his death... Charles Kasper Rov II sets out on a journey to not only checkmate the new hero of this world, but also steal the throne from his father, the Demon-Lord!!!

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

In the vast and boundless world of martial arts, an ancient and mysterious legend has been passed down through the ages. It speaks of a divine sword known as "Dragon's Roar," harboring unparalleled power capable of overturning the very fabric of the martial realm. This sword, split into three parts, has been guarded by the Sword Sect of the East, the Zither Valley of the South, and the Chess Gate of the West for generations. As the years rolled by, a delicate balance was maintained among the three factions until the emergence of a mysterious organization called the "Shadow Alliance," which sought to unite the three parts, awaken the Dragon's Roar, and dominate the martial world. In times of chaos, heroes will surely emerge to shoulder the responsibility of saving the martial arts world. Li Xiaoyao, a young swordsman from the Sword Sect, is upright and unyielding, with peerless swordsmanship, yet he knows nothing of his own origins, wandering like a lost lamb. Zhao Ling'er, a peerless genius from the Zither Valley, masters the art of music, capable of manipulating the human heart with the sound of her zither, as if a fairy descended to earth. Zhang Wuji, the young master of the Chess Gate, is both wise and brave, adept at strategy and tactics, shining like a star of wisdom. The story begins with a sudden storm.

One day he managed to confess his feelings and the two boys elope together, only to be hit by a truck and transmigrated to cruel worlds as star-crossed, tragic lovers!

Basically, people are divided into 3 subgenders besides their own sex or gender. There is Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Alphas, no matter the sex, male or female, can make people pregnant. Betas are just like how us people work. Males can impregnate, and females get pregnant. Omegas get pregnant no matter the sex, male or female. They also undergo heat, which is a monthly cycle that makes them crave to be bred by Alphas. They emit a scent (pheromones) during heat that makes an Alpha go wild and lustful. Alphas are characterized to have a stronger, larger, and more athletic build than Betas and Omegas. Omegas have a weaker, smaller and more frail build than Betas and Alphas. Betas can vary. There are exceptions to every rule, of course. But Ren Jidian and Wei Sizhi are both smaller and weaker types of Omegas. (Much to Ren Jidian's frustration.) -------------- Worlds' dynamics (Ren Jidian's role x Wei Sizhi's role) 1.
