The Witch In Love With The Enigmatic Butler

Anna is a girl capable of controlling time ever since she lost her parents. However, by using her powers recklessly, she ended up being adopted and exploited by a corrupt noble family, pushing her body’s health to its absolute limit. To Anna’s surprise, a boy with an unknown identity offered her something she can no longer remember. That’s because, to her astonishment, she was sent back in time to the moment she first arrived at the orphanage, granting her a second chance. Her friends—those she hadn’t seen again since being taken in by that family—were now standing in front of her once more. With that, Anna gained the resolve that if this wasn’t just a dream… she wouldn’t repeat her past mistakes. Despite her lingering fear of using her powers, Anna is determined to live this second life in a way that truly matters, forming bonds with friends who will stand by her side as she faces the chaos of a world shaped by magic and the political ambitions of a selfish few. ◇◆◇ Chapter 7 - A Risky Move Anna stood across from Darius, the most respected and calculating player in the room. They had tied four times in a row, something no one had ever seen before. “I’ll raise the stakes,” Darius said with a cold smile, pushing a massive pile of chips to the center of the table. The dealer turned to Anna: “You must match the bet, or you’ll lose automatically.” Anna hesitated, glancing at her dwindling pile of chips. She was out of money. The murmurs of the spectators grew louder. Finally, the dealer offered her a way out: “You can play on credit, but if you lose, you’ll have to pay it back—with interest… or face more serious consequences.” Anna swallowed hard. She knew continuing was a massive risk, especially since exhaustion was creeping up on her. But Leo’s words echoed in her mind, urging her to keep going. She looked at the dealer and, with unwavering determination, declared: “I accept. I’ll double the bet.” Silence fell over the room as the game resumed. Anna used her ability to rewind time and fix every mistake she made. But with each use of her power, the fatigue took a heavier toll. The minutes ticked by, and when she finally scored a perfect 21, leaving her opponent in the dust, her body couldn’t take any more. “Anna wins,” the dealer announced. But before Anna could celebrate, her vision blurred, and she collapsed in front of everyone, leaving the room in complete shock.

Druid Hegemon: Versatile Spirit Beast Taming Trades

Trying my best to keep this novel free for all peoples. Veil Tremmons made the mistake of trying to kill a man with a very thick bible. As a result, he died. The rest is self-explained by the very long title. Nobody cares about timed novel updates. I know I can read a lot and I know you can read 200+ chapters a day. Even I, personally, don't care about timing until the book is 100+ chapters. Aiming for 3 chapters a week, but, hey, I'm nonchalant. Author's Warning: 1. Book starts slow but speeds up. Read some extra chapters. The main character is not a kid. 2. MC is shady, upright, kind, considerate, downright evil, indifferent, and can use a plethora of titles and descriptions. I want to create someone who learns all of the world, good and bad, before he makes some of his more ultimate decisions throughout the novel. He is definitely a hypocrite, but he LEARNS. But before any of that, he simply has a "I don't give a care" attitude. 3. The main plot settings are 'Breeding Base/Buying, Selling, Trading', 'Empire Building,' and 'Small World Space Treasure Hunting'. Age is College-range but I want to keep him physically out of the college itself as much as possible. If you like or dislike these things, Go to author's warning no. 9. 9. If you are fazed, not fazed, or your eyes hurt, please start the book. It will make the upper corners of your cheek muscles flex, which relieves pressure on your eyes. Also, it will take your brain someplace else. Apparently that's a good thing. Thank you, world.

The Great Titans

Alternative Title: Titans In a world where gods once roamed freely, their power is now fractured, scattered across humanity in the form of "Titan Fragments"—artifacts that grant extraordinary abilities to their wielders. These fragments, said to be remnants of the gods themselves, bestow unimaginable strength, speed, and intelligence, but at a cost: they draw their bearers into an eternal struggle for dominance. Eren Kael, a young scavenger from the forgotten city of Ashenvale, stumbles upon a mysterious fragment buried in the ruins of an ancient battlefield. Unlike others, his fragment doesn't seem to amplify his strength or speed—it grants him visions of the gods’ downfall and whispers of a secret that could change the balance of the world. As Eren is thrust into the chaotic battles of the Titans, he must navigate alliances and rivalries with other bearers, each with their own ambitions and dark pasts. Among them are Lysara, a rogue strategist seeking vengeance for her family; Kaelen, a knight determined to restore honor to his kingdom; and Darius, a warlord who believes he is the reincarnation of a fallen god. But as the fragments call for blood and power, Eren begins to unravel a chilling truth: the fragments are not just relics of the gods—they are the gods, imprisoned within shards of their former glory, desperate to reclaim their dominion. Caught between the Titans' unending war and the gods’ looming resurrection, Eren must decide: Will he use his fragment to end the cycle of violence, or will he succumb to its intoxicating power and become the very thing he fears? Titans is a gripping tale of power, ambition, and the eternal question: What does it mean to be a god in a world of mortals?
