Dignity Amv

As one of ASTER's most formidable agents, Sigrid had spent her life honing her skills for a single purpose: vengeance. The monsters who tore her world apart, stripping her of family, pride, and dignity, had no idea she was coming for them. Armed with unyielding resolve, she believed she was ready to unleash hell. But vengeance is rarely simple, and the truth has a way of cutting deeper than any blade. The man she had silently loved, long before she even understood the depth of her feelings, stood revealed as her enemy’s most trusted ally. The love she once deemed unshakable was nothing more than a cruel illusion, a game in which she was but a pawn. Betrayed and broken, she did the unthinkable. Without a moment's hesitation, she leveled her gun at the one who once held her heart. Yet what Sigrid didn’t know was that, to him, she was not a pawn but the very center of his world. She was the dream he had dared to pray for, the light he craved in a life of shadows. And for her, he would set the entire world aflame—even if it meant turning it against himself. She was a phoenix, rising unbroken from the ashes of her past. He was the storm, destined to burn beneath her radiance. In a tale woven with betrayal and regret, friendship and greed, the unrelenting pursuit of power, and mysteries buried deep, one truth remained: Even in the face of hatred, even when stained with blood and vengeance, love does not die. It endures. It transforms. And it consumes.

"Dignity exists only on the blade of a psionic lightsaber, and truth resides only within the range of an ultra-heavy purification beam." The chaotic situation allowed Amber, who had been thrust into the universe-conquering game Starry Sky, to fully grasp the meaning of this phrase...

He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets.

Have you ever wondered, beneath the dazzling neon lights of the city, lie monsters from ancient myths?

Have you ever wondered, in the bustling modern cities, there exist extraordinary beings who walk the earth in place of the gods? In a society ruled by humans, countless strange things lurk; in those uncharted realms of life, ancient gods reside. The Archangel Michael, the God of the Underworld Hades, the God of the Sea Poseidon... but where have the gods of the Great Xia gone? In this world that belongs to humans, the "mystery" needs to be cleared away! This story is set in a country called Great-Xia, where a group of Night Watchmen, including Lin Qiye, Jialan, Shen Qingzhu, and others, refuse to submit to fate.

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.

For 300 years, humanity has fought a losing battle. The crack in the sky tore open the Sealed Realms—ancient prisons holding horrors that were never meant to escape. Chosen warriors blessed by gods stand as the last line of defense, but even they are not enough. Cities crumble. Trust fractures. And in the shadows, traitors walk among them, their faces human, their loyalties unknown. From a village consumed by fire, Kael rises—not as a savior, but as a boy cursed with a forgotten power the world fears. To survive, he must unravel the truth of the forgotten and walk a path where betrayal is certain, alliances are fleeting, and failure means the end of everything. The balance is tipping. The war is no longer about survival—it’s about who remains to inherit the ashes. The world has held on for 300 years. It won’t hold much longer.

The Beastlord’s Second Chance Ethan Cross was a legend, a walking nightmare for his enemies, and a self-proclaimed genius of beast taming. By the end of his deeply exhausting career, he’d tamed creatures so powerful that kings avoided making eye contact with him out of fear of being accidentally mauled. His crowning achievement? Defeating the World Devourer, a cosmic garbage disposal capable of eating planets, magic, and your will to live. He sealed it away, saved the world, and heroically died in the process. Or so he thought. Instead of eternal rest or even a pat on the back from the gods, Ethan wakes up in his old, eighteen-year-old body. No wealth, no legendary beasts, and no dignity. Just a moth-eaten shirt, a pair of pants that could sand wood, and Scruff. A pigeon masquerading as a Wind Falcon with the coordination of a drunk squirrel. Turns out, starting over is worse the second time around. The world still revolves around beast taming: kingdoms are built on creature power, social hierarchies are determined by the strength of your companions, and everyone pretends they know what they’re doing. Ethan knows better. He lived through this circus once, and he’s determined to rewrite the script this time. The plan is to gather the most powerful beasts early, stop the rise of future disasters, and definitely avoid the whole “die heroically while saving everyone” thing. The problem? Valeria Drake, an insufferable prodigy with a Dire Wolf and a superiority complex, is still around to ruin his day. Oh, and the World Devourer might not be as sealed as he thought. Armed with an unhealthy amount of sarcasm, and the overwhelming desire to avoid his past mistakes, Ethan is ready to claw his way back to the top. Maybe. Assuming he doesn’t trip over his own hubris or get mauled by something embarrassing like a feral raccoon. Because the world isn’t going to save itself, and this time, Ethan would really like some applause when he’s done, or simply at least a decent pair of pants.

In the confines of her chambers, Vivian Moore, made the tragic decision to take her own life. The Crown Prince's abandonment for another and the humiliation she had to go through proved unbearable. Even the Royal Family made a move to banish her from the city by arranging a compensation engagement with a lowly Baron's Son, further shattering her and her family's reputation and dignity. However, this desperate act opened the door for a New Vivian, a fusion of her former self and one from a different world who had witnessed these events unfold in a Visual Novel RPG. This woman is Nadia of Medjay, a skilled thief and a secret agent, now shared Vivian's body and mind. As they became one, they emerged from the ashes of Vivian's destruction to be the Ultimate Villainess. Determined to Survive, Thrive, and Challenge the Narrative, Vivian embarked on a bold counterattack, setting her sights on the Heroine and the Seven Charming Princes. ---------------- If you want to read Early Chapters, you can join Patreon from: https://linktr.ee/donovel - 1$: 1 Chapter - 5$: 5 Chapters - 10$: 10 Chapters *This story is on Patreon, WN, RR, and SH. **Your support means that I can keep to do this hobby as job. ***You can also join our Discord Community Server for Chapter Notifications, D&D, and Chat, use the same link.

For Lu Yan, the marriage is purely a business arrangement to secure his position as CEO, but for Qin Lan, it is a desperate act to save her ailing father. However, Qin Lan is walking into a marriage built on shadows. Lu Yan’s heart still belongs to his first love, Ji Yi, the glamorous and seemingly perfect woman who left him years ago to chase her own ambitions.

Born into the revered Feng Clan, his destiny was supposed to be one of greatness. Yet, for 14 excruciating years, he struggled in vain, unable to cultivate even the smallest amount of spiritual energy. Every day was a reminder of his inadequacy, every encounter a painful lesson in humility. His name, once spoken with pride, became synonymous with failure... a blemish on the illustrious history of his lineage. Finally, the clan could bear it no longer.

In his previous life, Xue Que devoted himself to the one he loved, tirelessly serving and protecting her, even sacrificing his dignity and identity to be her shadow and guardian. Yet, his loyalty and selfless devotion only earned him betrayal and manipulation. In the end, he was cast aside, left to die in agony and despair. In his final moments, he swore that if he had another chance, he would turn his pain into a blade of vengeance, making the world submit and crushing the dreams of all who had wronged him. By a twist of fate, Xue Que is reborn, taking on the form of a supreme demon. In this life, he is no longer the weak, naive "lapdog" of his past but a cold-hearted and ruthless avenger driven by rage. With fierce cunning, he seizes ancient relics, grasping the god-tier rewards countless others could only dream of. With these newfound powers, he embarks on a path to supremacy, aiming to reclaim everything that was denied to him and destroy anyone who dares to stand in his way. For Xue Que, there is only one goal—to ascend to ultimate power, sweeping aside all opposition and establishing a realm of his own design. With a fierce, unyielding spirit, he crushes the strong and shows no mercy to the weak. He relentlessly seizes the treasures, powers, and talents of his rivals, rapidly climbing to the summit of power. His ambition grows as he vows to unify all realms under his rule, enforcing his iron will across heaven and earth. “Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish.” These words are his creed, and the world trembles at his silent threat. His ruthless rise soon draws the attention of the ancient gods and demons, who feel compelled to descend upon the world and crush his growing power. Yet Xue Que stands atop the mountains, his gaze steely and defiant. With the divine forces looming above, he meets them with only scorn in his eyes. He roars to the heavens, “I, Xue Que, am here. Who dares stand against me? Even if the gods and demons themselves descend, I shall shatter their very souls!” On his bloody path to dominance, he encounters allies and rivals alike, each pushing him closer to uncovering the mysteries of his past betrayal. The person he once loved, the one he was willing to sacrifice everything for, is fated to cross paths with him once more. But now, she is either a sworn enemy or merely another piece on his chessboard of power. Xue Que’s heart, frozen and unyielding, no longer dwells on the past. All that matters now is to pave his way with blood and fire, ensuring every betrayer suffers the consequences of their actions. From betrayed lapdog to supreme demon, Xue Que’s journey of vengeance and conquest is filled with bloodshed and fury. Each step he takes shakes the heavens, each footprint marking the line between life and death. When he finally stands at the summit, the world will bear witness to the empire he’s forged, and with his powers, he will either plunge the world into chaos or bring it to the pinnacle of glory.
