Synopsis: Takeshi Mori, a aimless 40 year Japanese man having retired early in life with riches now wonders through the empty city streets at midnight as usual wondering what to do with his life, but that is all shattered as while looking up momentarily he sees an unfathomably big eye staring down at him, with one blink to check if he's too sleep deprived he is gone in an instant. And when his eyes open again, a forest greets him as searing pain jolts him wide awake as on the back of his right hand is a branded symbol of a shield. What happened? Where is he? What is the mark on his hand and what are the increasingly loud howls and growls he can hear coming his way? Story takes place in a fantasy world called Ender with high level magic, fantastical races such as Fae, demons, angels, Undead, merfolk, beast man and more. It'll also have some romance but it'll be a slow burn and i mean SLOW burn. Also i would recommend reading the prologue to get the whole picture and not just jumping into chapter 1. Person 1: Hey do you know where my dandelion is? Person 2: Um it's just over there. That's Your Dandelion right? Absolute Cinema: Those who know

During her marriage, Paula never knew what happiness meant. She loved Len Bertram sincerely but all he did was insult her for two years. Even despite his indifference, Paula's love for this man didn't fade. She believed he would come to realize that her feelings weren't false. Unfortunately, she was set up by her devious mother-in-law and her stepsister. Len believed them, which was unsurprising, and sent her away from the Bertram family as punishment. Six years have passed, and Paula is back with a fresh perspective on life and David Alesso—one of the most renowned film directors in the world—at her side. Now her ex-husband wants her back but Paula isn't the fragile, timid girl she used to be and won't let Len take away her joy. Len appeared more composed than he had been six years ago, but Paula was nothing like she had been. Now scheming, wild, unforgiving... Those people would regret what they did to her. ... *Excerpt* Paula huffed sharply as she stared at the distant man in front of her. "Mr. Bertram! What I do is none of your business? The fact that you are acting as though we have known each other for years when we ended our relationship badly is presumptuous, and we are not on good terms." "I'm sorry" Those words, as heavy as his heart, fell from his mouth. "I was a jerk and I know I deserve nothing from you but please..." "Don't get on my nerves, Mr. Bertram!" Paula yelled at him before he could say anything more, expressing her disinterest in listening to him. However, Len's next actions surprised her. He moved an inch closer to her, brushing off the strand of hair on her face. "I don't want to get on your nerves, Paula but I want to get into here." With his finger pointed directly at her chest, he tapped her heart. Paula's heart began racing wildly and at that precise moment she realized that Len was a fire she would never be able to put out. What will she do now? Will she be able to put out that fire?

These so-called "sneaky ways" often involve highly sophisticated technological methods to bypass security measures and access private communications and data without the knowledge or consent of the device's owner. A skilled web recovery specialist might utilize advanced hacking techniques, exploits in mobile operating systems, or specialized surveillance software to surreptitiously monitor your wife's online activities, read her text messages and emails, track her location, and even retrieve deleted files - all while leaving little to no trace of their intrusion. However, engaging in such invasive and underhanded practices not only violates your wife's fundamental right to privacy, but can also severely damage the trust and integrity of your relationship if discovered. Rather than resorting to these underhanded tactics, it would be far wiser to have an open and honest discussion with your wife about any concerns you may have, and work together to address them through ethical, consensual means. Building a foundation of mutual understanding and respect is essential for the long-term health of any marriage.

"What the f**k are my eyes seeing?!" “I..is this human?” ... A new world where there are no humans, but they consider them to be animals that became extinct long ago A new world where vampires and werewolves rule the world But the question here is where did this person come from?! “Hello, my name is Louis Tomlinson,” says the young man lying on the floor cheerfully, waving gently at them. ..... The year 2018 is where it all began Everyone was preoccupied with the stories of the vampires and the werewolf, which were considered fairy tales at the time until... Until a mad scientist thought about these creatures that were running his curiosity and because he did not find any trace of these creatures and discovered that they were really mythical And in order not to place himself in the circle of depression, he committed a great sin, a sin whose result is the end of all mankind. . . “You succeeded!!!” the world shouts with joy, followed by the applause of the rest of the crew and their happy cheer and encouragement to break this happy moment, the sound of bottles containing chemicals falling "Damn it, it's moving," says one of the trainees, terrified, so the scientist smiles at his side, grabs his syringe and compresses it with the body of the experimenter, emptying what's inside the syringe with his veins. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he says arrogantly, and did he say it's okay??? Because this was never what it was, it was quite the opposite!!

"She's not my granddaughter! I only have one granddaughter, and that's Cha!" "If you refuse to marry Fu Sen, I'll reclaim your house. I'll also kick your father out of the company!" Zhou Yun had been missing for ten years. With much difficulty, she finally made it home. She thought her family would adore her, but her grandmother refused to acknowledge her. If it weren't for her sister from another mother refusing to marry Fu Sen based on the contract, Zhou Yun's grandmother wouldn't even have allowed her to step into the house. Everybody knew that the third young master of the wealthy Fu family, Fu Sen, was an arrogant loser who never cared to work a day in his life. He later became crippled too.

The Zhou family could also become closer to the Fu family. It was hitting two birds with one stone. Later, Zhou Yun noticed something was amiss. Why was her fiance so different from the rumors? Not only was he not the arrogant type, like what she heard, but he was even a little clingy... Fu Sen also realized something. His hillbilly fiance was the person who once saved her life! Why did she have the medical knowledge to heal the sick? Why was she so rich? *** "Mr. Fu, Madam wants to call off the wedding. She's offering you seven hundred thousand dollars as compensation." "I refuse!" Fu Sen exclaimed. "Mr. Fu, Madam increased the amount to seven million." "Give her fourteen million. I refuse to call the wedding off!" Fu Sen exclaimed. "Mr. Fu, Madam... She increased the amount to seventy million..." "Is she trying to compete to see who is richer?" Fu Sen asked aloud.
