Cid Kagenou Excalibur

"M... Marissa ! Sont-ils mes enfants ?" Les yeux de Rafael ne se détachaient pas des visages adorables des enfants. "Non, Rafael. Ils ne le sont pas," Marissa dit avec un sourire forcé, "Ils ne sont pas les tiens. Tu te souviens ?" elle battit des cils de manière assez dramatique, "Nous n'avons jamais été mariés !" La sœur aînée de Marissa Aaron, Valérie Aaron, a abandonné son petit ami aveugle le jour de leur mariage et s'est enfuie. Pour sauver les apparences, la famille de Merissa l'a suppliée d'épouser Raphael Sinclair. L'ironie ? Elle n'avait pas le droit de dire à son mari aveugle qu'elle n'était pas Valérie mais Marissa Aaron. Le jour de la chirurgie oculaire réussie de Raphael, Marissa a appris que Valérie était de retour pour reprendre sa place légitime en tant que belle-fille des Sinclair. Marissa a tenté d'expliquer à son mari qu'elle était celle qui avait épousé, mais il ne l'a pas crue. Au lieu de le convaincre davantage, le cœur brisé, Merissa a décidé de quitter la ville sans lui révéler son secret. Raphael Sinclair était l'incarnation même de l'homme incroyablement séduisant et était le seul héritier du groupe d'industries Sinclair. Que ferait-il lorsqu'il apprendrait que tout ce temps la femme qui lui offrait son amour et son corps n'était pas Valérie mais sa sœur cadette Marissa Aaron ? Comment réagirait-il en apprenant qu'il était le père des bébés que Marissa portait en elle ? Chercherait-il à retrouver Marissa et à la reconquérir ? Et la question à un million de dollars ! Marissa serait-elle un jour capable de lui pardonner et de l'aimer à nouveau ?

Q. Is it hard to change one's fate? By your own strength and skills? Is it possible to reshape your own life? A. You will never know if you do not try, so just do it! Q. And if you do manage it, would it be too greedy to find someone to spend that new life with? A. Nope, not at all. Everyone deserves some loving, go for it! Q. And should you admit it, or just keep all your struggles to yourself? A. Are you actually going to do it, or you just want to talk about it? Just move on with it. Q. How about if we just go with the flow? Pretend all is fine? Do nothing? A. What kind of a story would that be? You had a good plan, so.. move on with it. Q. .... A. Really, trust me, just make one step first. Then one more. Enjoy the scenery while at it! MOVE! A. He actually did it, look at him go all out! *** Mani swirled pink liquid in his cup "This is called a moonshine right? Moonshine.. it should not make us blind right?" he drank it while still pondering pros and cons of drinking it in their current situation. "Well, did not make me blind," Yax offered his expert opinion "and I've been pilfering it from my dad since like.." he really could not remember, seemed like forever already. He reached to get another bottle and tumbled all the empty ones to the ground. Cid pulled him back by his shoulder "Sit down, I'll do it." he refilled Yax's cup on the right and Mani's cup on the left, then filled his own in the middle. With closed eyes, he enjoyed strawberry aroma wafting up from this holy drink. Mani bravely emptied his cup "Did we really saw it back there" he whispered from left "it was so much bigger than.." he trailed off in search of proper example. "Yep, we saw it" Yax's answer came from the right "it was absolutely huge." Mani leaned over Cid and looked at Yax seriously "Do you think we will need magic to move it?" He did bring along his beads. Yax also leaned over to give his most serious answer "Naah, it should have an engine somewhere in there to move it. I heard" he looked around carefully and whispered so only Mani could hear "my dad said it's technology so ancient that it was sealed away, to keep it safe. It's better than magic." At the other side of their campfire, Ivory huffed while trying to snatch last bottle of holy moonshine from Jone who gently pushed him back while seriously stating "All technology at certain point starts resembling magic to those who do not understand it." "Hear, hear" Blaze confirmed from his spot on the ground with one hand waving up and showing a peace sign for some reason. Next to him, twins were out and snoring already. Mani pursed his lips and looked up into the sky. He could not see any real moonshine, leaves blocked the sky, but it should still be up there somewhere. He stil hoped to get some magic, it would be awesome to get some real superpowers. He hiccuped, while leaning on Cindy next to him. Well, he kinda did have some already, or those do not count? Yax leaned fully on Cid and got cosy. He had to admit some parts were rather mystical. Like this holy potion. Or Mani. Mani was most definitely something magical. But he is not going to say it. And no one can know what he thinks to himself. He grinned, satisfied by himself and his skill to keep secrets. Squished between two drunks, Cid rolled his eyes, there goes Yax, spilling the beans to whoever wants to listen his 'secret thoughts'. Not like anyone was sober enough to pay any attention. "Time to end this party." Cid said while standing up and dragging Yax towards the tent he shared with Ivory. "Tomorrow is another day where we have to rise up and do our best to save the world." Even though he knew that all they were saving is themselves. And their friends. Well, that is his whole world, really. The forest was silent, darkness was endless, beasts were hiding. With closed eyes and half asleep, Blaze was sure that he can hear gods above laughing, louder and louder from that abyss they call home. ...___...

Schelvia City: BURRIED TECHNOLOGIES IN CENTURIES BLOOM In the year 2026—or so the world believes—Schelvia City stands as a utopia for the brightest young minds, a place where students train to become the future’s elite. Governed by strict academic rankings and the Golden Children, life in the city seems orderly—until the shadows of its past and the threats from within begin to unravel its fragile peace. But the world is living a lie. The true year is 2126, and an entire century has been erased from history. The Erased Centuries, a time when technology reached its peak, were deliberately wiped from memory. No records, no remnants—only whispers of a lost era where power was boundless and knowledge dangerous. The world was reset, the calendar restarted, but some remnants of that forgotten age still exist in secret. Among them are the enigmatic Eyes of Seven—a hidden force that the highest elites believe is the key to sustaining the balance of this new world. Their existence has been obscured, their purpose unknown, but their influence lingers in the shadows, shaping events far beyond what ordinary people can perceive. Among those unknowingly entangled in this web of secrets is Yoshi Manami, the 8th-ranked Golden Child. Wielding a mysterious Vitreous that manifests as the legendary Alter Excalibur, Yoshi is both feared and admired, earning the title "Artoria’s Shadow." But beneath his cold exterior lies a tangled past—his former best friend, Kaito Yamazaki, now linked to the underground rebellion of the Hancer movement; his childhood friend, Mieruko Miraileze, whose obsession hides unsettling truths; and an unknown sister, raised in secrecy. As Schelvia City faces escalating dangers, the long-dormant ZESTROPEDIAN units descend from the skies, machines that once promised Earth’s salvation but instead became its executioners. Meanwhile, the Bunker faction corrupts robots from within, and war threatens to consume the city. But all of these conflicts may be mere echoes of something far greater. The Eyes of Seven, erased along with the lost century, are awakening. The number 11, a symbol that no longer exists, may hold the answers. And Yoshi—whether by fate or design—is at the heart of it all. With war brewing both inside and outside the city, Yoshi must confront his past, unravel the secrets hidden in the Erased Centuries, and decide where his loyalties lie. Will he protect the city that shaped him, or embrace the chaos that threatens to consume it? 'All cycle in this world shall has it's own ends'

Shen Yan a insisté pour épouser ce Fu Hang, au risque d'être abandonnée par sa famille et ses proches. Elle pensait qu'après trois ans, elle parviendrait à faire fondre la glace dans son cœur. Cependant, lorsque cet homme l'a enchaînée et forcée à s'agenouiller devant sa famille pour avouer des erreurs qu'elle n'avait jamais commises, Shen Yan a réalisé que le cœur de cet homme était fait de glace. Lorsqu'elle est tombée à l'eau en même temps que sa belle-sœur aînée, Chloe Lindsey, Fu Hang a plongé au premier instant et a sauvé Chloe Lindsey. Il a emmené Lin Xing à l'hôpital tandis que Shen Yan, qui ne savait pas nager, pouvait seulement attendre que le garde vienne la sauver. L'enfant dans le ventre de Chloe Lindsey n'a pas survécu à l'épreuve et elle a fait une fausse couche. Fu Hang a amené Shen Yan auprès de sa famille sans aucune explication et lui a demandé de s'agenouiller et d'admettre son erreur. Ses yeux sous ses sourcils aiguisés étaient impitoyablement perçants, comme s'il avait planté un couteau dans le cœur de Shen Yan. « Après que Grand Frère soit parti, il n'a laissé qu'un enfant derrière lui. Tu n'aurais pas dû tuer cet enfant ! » « Je ne l'ai pas fait. C'est elle qui a sauté ! » « Qu'attends-tu ? Agenouille-toi et avoue ton erreur ! » Trois ans après son mariage, Shen Yan était convaincue que même un chien avait plus de valeur qu'elle dans la famille Fu, sans parler de Chloe Lindsey que Fu Hang aimait vraiment. Juste avant que l'un de ses genoux ne touche le sol, Fu Hang pensait encore que Shen Yan allait admettre son erreur. Peu s'attendait-il à ce que Shen Yan se redresse lentement et dise : « Fu Hang, divorçons. Je vais juste prétendre que j'ai donné ces trois dernières années aux chiens. Personne ne mérite que je gaspille ma jeunesse après ça ! » Ainsi, Shen Yan a décidé de rentrer chez elle et d'accepter son héritage qui valait des centaines de milliards. Une vie glorieuse l'attendait !

« Je, Benson Walton, te rejette, Selma Payne, de devenir ma future Luna et compagne. « Si tu es sensée, tu trouveras un endroit tranquille pour mourir seule, au lieu de ternir la gloire de notre peuple. « Tu n'es qu'un vilain crapaud. Reste dans la boue tranquillement, et ne charge pas notre meute. » Le dix-neuvième anniversaire de Benson, il a découvert que nous étions des âmes sœurs destinées. Mais je ne m’attendais pas à ce qu’il préfère endurer une grande douleur plutôt que de m'accepter. Chaque mot qu'il prononçait s'écrasait directement dans mon cœur, et la douleur me faisait trembler de manière incontrôlable. J'ai appris que je n'étais pas l’enfant biologique de mes parents quand j'avais seize ans. Bien qu'ils me considéraient comme un ange qu'une cigogne leur avait apporté, cela ne changeait pas le fait que j'étais un petit humain faible. J’étais juste un œuf fragile qui tomberait en se faisant piquer, un perdant qui ne pouvait même pas voir le chemin sans l’aide du clair de lune. Mon existence apportait de la honte à mes parents, et à ma meute ! Peut-être aurais-je dû mourir dans les bois dès le début. Avec cette pensée en tête, j'ai décidé de leur rendre une meute pure et immaculée ce soir. Alors, j'ai sauté d'une falaise et pensais que je mourrais. Je n'aurais jamais imaginé être sauvée, et ma véritable identité s'est révélée être la seule fille du Roi Lycan qui avait été perdue il y a dix-huit ans. J'étais aussi l'héritière du trône ! Cela m’a beaucoup surpris. J'étais en fait un loup-garou ? Mais… Pourquoi étais-je si faible ? Était-ce juste une erreur ? Pour devenir une héritière qualifiée, j'ai caché mon identité et reçu une formation. Cependant, cet instructeur frivole qui était en charge de ma formation, pouvait-il vraiment m’aider à éveiller mon loup, ou profitait-il simplement de moi ? Au fur et à mesure que je devenais plus forte et que je devenais une figure publique, d'autres m'attaquaient et complotaient contre moi à de nombreuses reprises. Avaient-ils un lien avec ceux qui m'avaient enlevée toutes ces années auparavant ? Je dois les attraper ! Je protégerai ma famille, et mon amoureux !

One day, out of nowhere, I woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. I thought I was kidnapped but turns out I had transmigrated into early medieval Britain during the era of Arthurian Legends? Wait, but why is Merlin a real mage, and Excalibur a real magic sword? King Arthur was actually real? No, wait, before that, what is this colosseum like place? Why am I being sent into the Middle Earth to steal a cup of gold from Smaug the Greedy? W-why is there a giant Red Dragon here?! How could I have known the Welsh dragon was real!

In this world filled with magic and Gods exist the power of half Gods, or nisf daw—humans given names by Gods to become their future successors. These half God and half humans chose their own path, whether said path is to be villainess or righteous, a “hero,” or a “villain.” However, in this tale, there are no true “heroes” or “villains;” there are only victims or victors. A destined young girl—19-year-old Zayn—pulls out the legendary sword Excalibur and becomes the nisf daw— the chosen successor— of the King of Gods himself, changing the lives of herself and her best friends forever. As Zayn explores this new world she is forced into and the reason for her existence, she bonds closer with new friends and allies, faces strong foes, and explores love, something the strongest woman in the world never knew she’d ever get the chance to experience.

Send Me Free is a fiction BL crime novel about a street youngster called Free, who after many episodes starts working as a freelancer under the Crime Investigation Department, and Don, a crime investigator from CID who isn't that clean cop as someone in his rank should be. SMF is very psychological, focusing on the darkest deeps of a human mind. It tries the boundaries of the characters relationship and the way how they could act in unknown situations during the story. It's a story about growing and learning while living in different sides of the crime world, but the same time it's about the bonds of friendships, trust, love.. How far human is capable to go.

Everyone has their perceptions of Knights. The most common ones are found in storybooks. Shining armor, a gallant steed, glistening weapons, a coat of arms, exacting justice. Don’t make me laugh. It was all buttered up the way they wanted it to be, and I was just as foolish as to believe them until I saw. The atrocities they committed that went against the code of honor they swore upon. And because I saw, they came to me. The ones who wanted to fix this dastardly system with their hands and fix this rotten empire. And so I accept the realization that chivalry is dead. *This is not a LitRPG story! For all of you folks that like secret identities and masked protagonists, this is it! *No harems, no sex scenes, no power of friendship (or dues ex machine) *I do not own the cover art. All credit goes to the artist.

Elle était aimable envers tous et dévouée à son mari. Et elle était parfaitement contente de passer le reste de sa vie ainsi, même si on la harcelait constamment pour qu'elle tombe enceinte. Jusqu'à ce que son mari entre dans leur maison avec une maîtresse à ses côtés et finalement exige le divorce. "Très bien," dit Amélie calmement, "je te divorcerai." Les yeux de Richard pétillaient en entendant les mots de sa femme. Cependant, à sa grande surprise, elle n'avait pas encore fini. "Mais ne sois pas étonné quand tu recevras une invitation à mon prochain mariage." A la surprise générale, Amélie se remaria en effet, et avec un homme plus jeune et, comme il s'est avéré, plus riche ! Et elle s'est assurée que son ex-mari réalise ce que signifie perdre le soutien d'une femme comme elle. _____ "J'ai été élevée pour être l'épouse parfaite de la haute société, façonnée pour exceller et rester vigilante. Tout ce que je savais, c'était comment feindre un sourire, lire et travailler dur pour s'assurer que personne n'ose mépriser ma famille. Mais en fin de compte, c'est exactement ce qui m'a rendu ennuyeuse et terne. Alors, quand mon mari a décidé de me divorcer, pourquoi Liam est-il tombé amoureux de moi à la place ?" Important : La FL n'est pas une Mary Sue. Le divorce a lieu dans la seconde partie du roman alors attention à votre tension artérielle. ```

Even in his past life, Cid’s dream wasn’t to become a protagonist or a final boss. He’d rather lie low as a minor character until it’s prime time to reveal he’s a mastermind…or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one! And now that he’s been reborn into another world, he’s ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal-and everyone knows the truth but him!
