Ladder

It was started with a harmless request, "Jessica, clear out a room for Zoey, she'll be moving in with us for the time being." Jessica's marriage soon ended when that 'guest' climbed up the ladder, from a guest room downstairs, to Jessica's bedroom, and then, her husband's bed. After losing in the fight for her husband's attention and love, Jessica realized it was time to wear back her garment of dignity and respect. She signed the divorce papers and left the country. Two years later, she returned as the heiress to a conglomerate, but her husband was at the airport, waiting to welcome her home. "When did I say I didn't love you, Jessica?" he asked.

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it.

Landing a job at Hamilton Corp, the most prestigious company in the city, had been the culmination of all his hard work and sleepless nights. And when he was appointed as the assistant to the company’s president, Drake Hamilton, it felt like a dream come true. Alex couldn’t believe his luck—working alongside a business legend known for his unshakable calm, sharp intellect, and a presence that commanded any room he walked into.

I was one of the people who worked harder who climbed the corporate ladder to become the highest-ranking executive in a renowned company. I possessed intelligence, fame, and wealth in the business industry. . .   However, I felt insecure about my appearance. I wasn't considered conventionally beautiful as I had small eyes, a petite nose, a round face, and a prominent mole under my right eye.

Despite facing mistreatment from her two biological children when I first entered their household, I remained determined to express my gratitude for the opportunities I had been given and for where I am now.   One fateful night, as I was sleeping, I encountered a mysterious woman in my dreams. She embodied the traits of a spoiled brat, with an ill-tempered, stubborn, and had no manners with unruly nature. Above all, she was the epitome of a villainess, an antagonist to the core. She was the kind of villain capable of inflicting harm on anyone, even if it’s her own sister.   In that perplexing dream, the woman was falsely accused of a wrongdoing she didn’t do and met a gruesome fate - decapitation. I abruptly woke up, shaken by the horrors I had witnessed.   It's a dream that I don't understand. . . But there's even more confusion to it. . . . .   When I woke up, I FOUND MYSELF TRANSFORMED INTO A FREAKIN’ BABY AFTER MY DEATH!!! And the shocking part is that I realized I am that very woman from my dream, but in my future adult form. . . What will happen to me now? How would this bizarre twist of fate shape my future?   In this new world I've been reborn into, magical powers actually exist. Despite being the first-born daughter of the Emperor, my mother is not a noble. This adds another layer of complexity to my journey.   As I explore this extraordinary journey, I am determined to uncover the mysteries behind my dream and embrace the challenges that lie ahead. Will I find redemption, forge a new path, or succumb to the darkness that once consumed the woman I now embody? Only time will reveal my true destiny.

Many years ago, a meteorite crashed into earth in New York city and this was the beginning of mankind's unprecedented evolution. The year was 2030 and humanity had reached a stage that would not have been possible otherwise without this external factor but they weren't satisfied. In the selfish attempt for humanity to once again force their evolution, the search for immortality began. A man named Dr. Schneider was the man responsible for this feat and he did achieve his goal but like the saying goes, be careful for what you wish for because that immortality came in the form of something perverse and twisted to nature. It came in the form of zombies. The world was in shambles or was it? Jason, a 21 year-old shut in, he was at the bottom of the food ladder due to his life choices, disowned and alone, he was willing to waste the left his life gaming but even with this dedication, he wasn't that great a gamer. But fate had something in store and that was in the form of a 'virus' transmitted through the gaming headset he had on and this would change Jason's life for either for better or for worse.

From frightful adventures to supernaturally sexy encounters and everything in-between, Keisha is about to discover a whole new world of hope, love and monsters. — This story starts off slowly (it's a slow burn) but I promise once it takes off there's no stopping. If you like build up romances with expansive character arcs, enemies-to-lovers trope and of course, toe-curling NSFW scenes (after a lot of teasing), then do consider reading. If you want a story where the MCs fall for each other and make love by chapter 3, don't bother. Also, this story is rated 18 because there will be spicy scenes, so if that's not your thing then feel free not to read or skip the risque chapters. There are also mentions of sensitive topics like suicide and depression, so reader discretion is advised. Happy reading!
