Narrow Rib Cage Subliminal

In a world where magic reigns supreme, Elias Graves arrives at the legendary Veldorian Academy of Arcane Studies, a bastion of magical knowledge where only the most gifted are chosen. To the world, he is just another student, another aspiring mage seeking to unlock the arcane mysteries that shape reality. But Elias is different. He does not see magic as divine, nor does he accept the ancient laws that govern its use. To him, magic is a system—a structured force bound by unseen rules, waiting to be rewritten. Yet, the deeper he delves into his studies, the more contradictions he finds. Spells that should work, do not. Techniques dismissed as impossible, feel within reach. Knowledge lost to time lingers in whispers, buried beneath layers of fear and silence. The academy teaches him the laws of magic, but Elias begins to suspect that laws are merely the cages built to contain something far greater. As he quietly unravels the secrets hidden within spellcraft, he begins to glimpse a truth no one else dares to speak of—that magic is not bound by nature, but by something far more insidious. And those who have questioned it before? They are gone, erased from history itself. What lies beyond the limits of known magic? Who—or what—decides what can and cannot be done? With every step, Elias walks a line between discovery and destruction, between brilliance and madness. Shadows move where they should not, watchful eyes track his every experiment, and the academy that once felt like a haven begins to feel like a cage. The closer he gets to the truth, the greater the danger grows—not just to him, but to the very fabric of reality itself. Because some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. And Elias has just found the key.

Additionally, well-known fighters like Isshin Ashina, the Furnace Knight, Rajang, and the Scourge Legion bring unexpected surprises! Various unique rewards such as the Flaming Sword, Murky Hand Scythe, Rapid Slash Longsword, Sacred Oath, and Flame Empowerment will make you too happy to contain your joy!

On a rainy night of July 15th, Qin Sisi brought home a shivering stray cat. Since then, her life underwent a profound change… "Come sleep with me." "No way!" "Didn't we always sleep together before?" "Back then you were just a cat." "I can still be a cat now." As the words fell, the tall figure vanished, leaving a black and sleek cat, lazily curled up at the head of the bed. Its deep, purple eyes slightly narrowed, it let out a lazy, adorable meow at her, “Meow…” Fan group: 817058766

Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

She had always assumed that her newlywed husband, with his staggering wealth, lacked the ability to procreate, so she was completely unguarded around him, failing to notice that someone's gaze was off... “I like women, our genders aren't compatible, let's get a divorce...” Su Xingyue came up with all sorts of reasons to divorce him, but Nan Yuling decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly cut off all her potential suitors, ensuring that she could only be spoiled by him alone! Besides that, he tirelessly proved it to her in person... Therefore, one day, Mrs. Nan, unable to bear the hardship, ran away from home once again... [He made pampering her a cage, imprisoning his love for her for a lifetime...]

[The pampering story has ended] For a hundred million, he bought her. "From today onward, you're mine, in body and soul." The man held her, declaring dominantly like an emperor. ... ... Lucas Walker: Xiaoye, you are the rib that God took out of me. Xiaoye: I spit, it is you who is the rib, your whole family is the rib. Baby A: Mommy, is a rib the same as a spare rib? Baby B: I like sweet and sour flavor.

DISCLAIMER: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE ********************************** “You summoned me. Explain why.” “I—uh—” she stammered, her brain fumbling for words as her hands clutched the edge of her blanket, gripping it like it was a shield. “I didn’t mean to? I mean, I did the ritual, but I thought it was fake! I wasn’t expecting… you.” His sharp brow arched, the faintest flicker of irritation crossing his face. “You tampered with powers beyond your understanding for amusement?” “Well, when you put it like that…” she muttered under her breath, the sarcasm slipping out before she could stop it. His eyes narrowed, and her skin prickled under the intensity of his gaze. “You mortals truly have no respect for divine law. Or common sense.” “I wasn’t trying to disrespect anything!” she shot back, the pitch of her voice rising with her nerves. “I was just… having a bad day. It was supposed to be harmless fun. How was I supposed to know it would actually work?” “You didn’t,” he replied coldly, the words slicing through her feeble excuses like a blade. “And yet here I am. Bound to your foolishness.” Aurelia opened her mouth to argue, but what could she even say? “Sorry for summoning you” didn’t exactly seem like an appropriate response. Instead, she snapped her jaw shut, her fingers twisting in the blanket as her mind scrambled for a solution she didn’t have. Hades began pacing the room like a caged predator, his dark cloak trailing behind him, “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Summoning a god…. summoning me is a violation of cosmic balance.” “Okay, I get it,” she said, the words spilling out in a rush. “Huge mistake. I’m sorry. But I didn’t mean to meddle! I don’t even know how I did it!” He stopped mid-stride, turning his piercing gaze on her once more. “The ritual you performed is ancient. Forbidden. No mortal should even possess the knowledge.” “I found it in an old grimoire,” she blurted out, desperate to explain. “At some random antique shop. It wasn’t like I planned this! It was just sitting there in a dusty box labeled ‘Summoning the Underworld.’ I thought it was some kind of gimmick. A joke!” “A joke,” he repeated. “You tampered with powers older than your species… for a joke?” “Well, I wasn’t exactly expecting results,” she said defensively. “I lit some candles, said some words, spilled a little wine—and poof! Nothing happened. It was just—” “You spilled wine?” he interrupted, his eyes narrowing further. “Yes, wine! The instructions said blood, but I wasn’t about to start cutting myself for a prank. I figured it didn’t matter. How was I supposed to know it would actually work?” Hades let out a sound that could have been a laugh, though it was devoid of humor. “And yet, here I stand, summoned by a mortal who substituted sacrificial blood with wine.” ********************************** When Aurelia stumbles upon an ancient summoning ritual and performs it out of curiosity, she unknowingly binds herself to Hades, the brooding King of the Underworld. Marked by their connection, she’s thrust into a world of gods and immortals where she doesn’t belong and where her heart becomes her greatest weakness. As Aurelia navigates the pain of unrequited emotions and the perilous politics of the divine, she uncovers the truth behind the mark she bears a power that could tip the scales of fate itself. With gods, love, and destiny at war, Aurelia must decide whether to embrace the bond that has chained her to Hades or break free from a world that was never meant for her.

'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.' -- Williams Shakespeare --- "Should I dip my hands in holy water so I can touch you?" His breath fanned her neck as he spoke close to her ear, causing an anxious shiver to run down her spine. Her eyes widened before narrowing slightly. "You are crazy." She whispered back with a shaking voice. "Why?" He asked, awed. His eyes now staring at her. "Because you would get burned." --- Opposites attract. That’s what everyone says, but light and darkness are two very contrasting entities. Annabelle is the perfect definition of pure and innocent, while on the other hand, Kione is the opposite of that—dark and a devil with an angelic appearance. Too forbidden to be a perfect match.

Don't let the darkness cage you. Atleast that was what trey thought, to not let Him own trey

She was always reckless—climbing castle walls, sneaking into town, chasing danger like it was her birthright. But the day they decided to chain her with marriage, she didn't just rebel—she became feral. And when a cage threatened to close around her, she did what she did best. She ran.

A man who sees emotions as a weakness, a man who doesn’t believe in love. To him, she’s just a means to an end. A perfect, obedient wife for show. But behind the closed doors of his extravagant mansion, she is nothing more than his prisoner. Cold words. Harsh touches. A world where love is a foreign concept. But what happens when the monster begins to fall for his prey? What happens when she dares to dream of freedom? And what happens when she learns the dark secret behind their marriage? One thing is certain when you play with the devil, you either burn… or become his obsession.

Ralph Veir Hume, who was only eight years old at the time, was the sole survivor—but at a cost.

Now, at the age of twenty, Ralph has finally been ordained as an official priest. But this is not out of devotion to God—it is merely the first step in his journey to uncover the truth behind his family's downfall. With the mystical power of "Author" from the Imaginer path, he can rewrite reality—a dangerous gift in a world ruled by eight mystical paths, where the Church, the Empire, and various factions vie for ultimate control. In a world where faith is a weapon and truth is a curse, can Ralph find the answers he seeks before he himself becomes a pawn sacrificed in the grand scheme?

Guo Min turned to Zihan, her gaze sharp. "You talk about permanence, but we both know this arrangement wasn’t my choice. If you expect me to play the role of a docile fiancée, you’re mistaken." Zihan’s smirk widened. "Oh, I never expected docility from you, Guo Min. In fact, I’d be disappointed if you were anything less than the fierce woman I know you to be."
