"Was tun Sie da?", fragte sie zittrig. Der Ausdruck auf seinem Gesicht gefiel ihr nicht. Er hob eine Augenbraue und zog grinsend den Mundwinkel hoch. "Was glaubst du denn, was ich tue?" "Warum... warum hast du die Tür verschlossen?" "Meine Frau ... Du bist nach so langer Zeit aufgewacht. Natürlich muss ich etwas Zeit mit dir verbringen, ohne dass du mich störst..."

What happens when the hero of your story doesn’t even know you exist? Ian Winterbell was once the older brother of the kingdom’s brightest star, Allen Winterbell. Burdened by jealousy and resentment, Ian betrayed his family, only to watch Allen sacrifice everything to save him. Wracked with guilt, Ian made a desperate deal with the Goddess of Fate, Theoarize, to turn back time. Now reborn in the past as a commoner, Ian no longer exists in the Winterbell family. To Allen, he’s a stranger. To the world, he’s nobody. But Ian remembers everything—his brother’s kindness, his sacrifice, and the burden of a hero who stood alone. At the academy, Ian just wants to lay low, but that’s easier said than done. When he effortlessly takes down terrorists without breaking a sweat, people start asking questions. How does a “normal” student know so much about killing? Why is he so calm in the face of danger? Rumors spread fast: some think he’s a spy, others say he’s the Empire’s secret weapon, and a few are convinced he’s the boss of the underworld. Ian doesn’t care what they think—he only cares about keeping Allen safe. But as he uncovers the dark secrets hiding in the Empire, Ian realizes protecting Allen might mean becoming the villain everyone already believes he is. "The world doesn’t need to love me, and I don’t need its mercy. All I want is for my brother to have the future he deserves."- Ian Winterbell.

I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

"Dragons rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _______ Power comes from the beast you tame in this world, and you need to do it at the tender age of ten. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option, his aging parents sold everything for his chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? The apex predators? Turns out they start small too, so... He’s going to tame everything, every evolutionary line. How? Turns out, his summon isn’t useless after all. Step one: survive long enough to unlock his gift. Step two: tame creatures nobody else dares to touch. Step three: become the strongest tamer the world has ever seen and laugh in the face of those who doubted him. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Because in this world, strength isn’t just about the creature you summon; it’s about the bond you forge, the risks you take, and the will to rise when the world drags you down. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Even better, every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, questionable life choices, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions, over-the-top power fantasy, and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love an underdog, an over-the-top power fantasy, and a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a more serious or a bit grim-dark story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun, taming dragons and expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna... Her skin and clothes morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress! Oh, and don’t miss the cool horns. It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. We will use the same Discord from Utopian, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

"Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan?" tanya dia dengan gemetar. Dia tidak menyukai ekspresi di wajahnya. Dia mengangkat alis dan tersenyum sinis, mengangkat sudut mulutnya. "Menurutmu saya sedang apa?" "Mengapa... mengapa kau mengunci pintu?" "Istriku...Kamu sudah bangun setelah begitu lama. Tentu saja, aku harus menghabiskan waktu bersamamu tanpa gangguan..." Serena memperhatikannya saat dia berjalan mendekatinya, kehadirannya tampaknya mengisi ruangan. Hatinya hampir terancam melompat keluar dari dadanya...

Aiden Hawk s'est marié par convenance. Faisant l'objet de chantage par sa grand-mère, il a concocté le plan parfait. Épouser une femme à l'article de la mort et jouer le rôle de son amant endeuillé.

O casamento acidental deles vai dar certo ou serão separados para sempre? *Créditos da foto: Queenfrieza Trecho: Os olhos dela se arregalaram de choque quando ele caminhou até a porta do quarto do hospital e a trancou com um clique. "O que você está fazendo?" ela perguntou tremulamente. Ela não gostou da expressão no rosto dele. Ele levantou uma sobrancelha e sorriu maliciosamente, erguendo o canto da boca. "O que você acha que eu estou fazendo?" "Por que… por que você trancou a porta?" "Minha esposa... Você acordou depois de tanto tempo. Claro que eu tenho que passar um tempo com você sem ser incomodado..." Serena observava ele caminhar em sua direção, sua presença parecendo preencher o quarto.

But to everyone's surprise, she came back alive! What’s more, she’s sticking to him like glue! Will their accidental marriage work out or will they be separared for ever? *Picture credits: Queenfrieza Snippet: Her eyes widened in shock when he walked over to lock the hospital room door with a click. "What are you doing?" she asked shakily. She did not like the look on his face. He raised a brow and smirked, raising the corner of his mouth. "What do you think I'm doing?" "Why… why did you lock the door?" "My wife...You've woken up after so long. Of course, I have to spend some time with you undisturbed..." Serena watched him as he walked towards her, his presence seemingly filling the room. Her heart almost threatened to leap out of her chest...She wanted to jump off the bed but her legs were useless and she had no strength...

Además, se está pegando a él como si fuera pegamento. ¿Funcionará su matrimonio accidental o serán separados para siempre? *Créditos de la imagen: Queenfrieza Fragmento: Sus ojos se abrieron de par en par de la sorpresa cuando él se acercó a cerrar la puerta de la habitación del hospital con un clic. —¿Qué estás haciendo? —preguntó ella temblorosa. No le gustaba la expresión de su cara. Él levantó una ceja y sonrió con suficiencia, levantando la comisura de su boca. —¿Qué crees que estoy haciendo? —¿Por... por qué cerraste la puerta? —preguntó ella. —Mi esposa... Te has despertado después de tanto tiempo. Por supuesto, tengo que pasar algún tiempo contigo sin interrupciones... —le dijo él, y una sonrisa ladeada se dibujó en su rostro.
