Obito Fake Smile

Little Joe In the enchanting kingdom of Tallindorie, Little Joe is a spirited boy from a humble farming family, living a life of simplicity and joy. Despite facing rejection due to his modest background, he remains blissfully unaware of the harsh realities of life. His days are filled with secret training sessions with his father, indulging in hearty meals, and earnestly trying to make friends. But everything changes after a fateful encounter at school. When Joe bravely saves the teenage children of a powerful baron, he not only earns their friendship but also receives a mysterious gift that alters the course of his life. Later, after much suffering, fate thrusts Joe into the spotlight, drawing the attention of the lords from neighboring cities who see in him the potential to become a local defender. However, Joe’s dreams reach far beyond the accolades of knighthood. He aspires to be a true hero, someone who can make his parents proud, uplift his small town of Dhaubania, and stand against the corruption and injustices that plague the nobility in the kingdom of Tallindorie. Meanwhile, in the real world, Lowo N'air, a young orphan, is caught in the web of two scientists with dark ambitions. One is a pharmaceutical magnate seeking the perfect herb to create an innovative medicine, while the other is a portal technology developer searching for new worlds to conquer. Both seek the power to reshape reality, but their pursuits risk plunging the world into chaos. Fate takes an unexpected twist with the arrival of SIME, a System of Intelligent Multiple Choices. Due to a critical error, the system distorts the characters' desires in unimaginable ways. Little Joe, who once dreamed of becoming the greatest fighter, finds himself connected to a bugged system that strips him of all his abilities, leaving him at the lowest level of degradation, and only grants him insanely useless skills as rewards. As if that weren't enough, Joe also suffers from the bizarre ability to lay golden eggs—a power that brings him wealth but at the cost of his dignity. On the other hand, Lowo N'air, who longed for riches, is granted the potential to become a formidable warrior. Realizing they belong to different worlds yet are connected by shared technology, Joe and Lowo N'air become disillusioned with the absurd swap of their dreams. United in their frustration, Joe resolves to challenge and modify the very System that altered his destiny, while Lowo rebels, believing that no one should have the power to dictate their dreams.

You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear. "Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life."

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

(CONTAINS R18+ CONTENT) Enemies to lovers- check Slow burn- check A cute naughty dog- check Spice? (The author is keeping her mouth zipped) No third-party breakup or misunderstanding. But there are lots of banter and witty comebacks. (The story is planned to be around 200 chapters. No drag) Mu Yiren I never imagined I'd be faking a relationship with my biggest enemy—the untamed, ridiculously charming Feng Junjie, known throughout the city as the "golden boy" of business and a billionaire playboy with a reputation for breaking hearts. But when he dangles a life-changing offer in front of me, the kind that could secure my inheritance, I find myself agreeing to be his "girlfriend." But the thing is….. What if I start seeing the real him? Pretending to be Junjie’s devoted partner is like walking on a razor's edge. He’s everything I can’t stand—sexy, cocky, and devilish, and yet a sweetheart by heart that leaves me flustered by his actions. I know better than to fall for a man like him; my mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s has convinced me to never fall in love. But Junjie isn't just any man. Beneath his easygoing charm is an intensity that leaves me breathless, and he knows exactly how to crack through the walls I have built around me, awakening a passion I never felt before. JUNJIE I need my life back. A sorry attempt at love had me question everything and forced me away from my brothers. Since my ‘ex best friend’s’ constant accusations had gotten out of control, I might as well pretend to date someone and shut her mouth. My definition of a fake date- Beautiful, sexy, tempting…..umm…. insufferable, annoying, and with a mouth that won’t stop running. The mouth with red lipstick. The mouth I want to…. This arrangement was supposed to be simple: fake dating, clear boundaries, no feelings. But the more he plays the role of her devoted partner, the more the lines between fake and real start to blur. And now, he’s no longer sure where the act ends and his true feelings begin. The catch? Mu Yiren doesn’t believe in love. And she certainly doesn’t believe a man like Feng Junjie is capable of anything but heartbreak. But Feng has never been one to follow the rules. Boundaries? He’s about to break them. Deals? They were made to be rewritten. He’s going all in, and this time, he’s not playing pretend. ******* "Are you saying you'd let any man get this close?" "ABSOLUTELY NO!" The words burst out of me, too quick, too honest. His smirk deepens. "Tell me, if I leave you like this, all wound up and aching, will you be sneaking off to use one of your little toys?" "Yes," "Tell me, were you waiting for me to initiate something this past week?" he tugs my shorts more and kisses my navel. My heart hammers and my voice comes out shaky. "N-No." I won't give him the satisfaction of knowing he's right. He chuckles darkly. "Wrong answer. Let's try again." ****

A smile. It's an expression that I think is the most beautiful thing one could witness. A genuine smile is filled with so much beauty behind it, which is why I think it's so beautiful. But I lost my smile, long ago, because of my past. But I wasn't alone, there was someone like me, and it's Veronica. I don't know how, or when, but she also lost her smile because of a past experience that took away her smile for good. Getting closer to her, I realized that she returned my smile... my smile that I had lost for so long. She lifted the walls that surrounded me, just by being herself. And now, I want to do the same for her, I want to bring back her smile, I want to break through the wall that separates me from her, I want her to open up to, I want her to see me as her friend like how I see her as a friend, and most of all, I really, really, really... want to see her smile. No matter how long it takes me, I'll wait, just to bring back her smile, like how she brought back mine.
