Der doppelte Anbau ist keine Wahl, er ist eine Notwendigkeit. Nachdem er wie die meisten glücklichen (oder unglücklichen) Protagonisten von einem Lastwagen angefahren wurde, fand sich Vaan im Körper eines Waisenkindes in der Welt der Hexen und Dämonen wieder. Doch die gab es nicht immer. Dämonen haben die Welt terrorisiert, seit das Reich der Gehenna vor über 300 Jahren untergegangen ist, aber mit ihnen kam auch das Mana, das die Hexen hervorbrachte, um diese Dämonen zu bekämpfen. Seitdem wird die Welt der Menschen von Hexen beherrscht, und es entstanden die sieben Hexenkönigreiche, die an vorderster Front die Invasion der Dämonen bewachen. Um in der matriarchalischen Gesellschaft der Hexenkönigreiche zu überleben, musste Vaan, wie alle anderen Männer, die keine Magie anwenden können, lernen, den Hexen zu dienen, um zu überleben. Doch das war nicht ohne Vorteile. Jahrelange Forschung führte die Welt zu der Entdeckung, dass Intimität zwischen Männern und Frauen die Manaaufnahme der Hexen erhöhen kann. Aber gleichzeitig konnten Männer einen Teil dieses Manas absorbieren, um ihren Körperbau und ihre Lebenserwartung zu verbessern. Seitdem hat sich in den Rotlichtvierteln eine komplizierte Beziehung zwischen Männern und Hexen entwickelt. Die Liebe wurde zwanglos, und die Doppelkultivierung ist weit verbreitet. Als Wunderkind in der Kunst, Frauen zu gefallen, lebte Vaan seit seiner Transmigration als Waisenkind zwei Jahre lang problemlos. Doch eines Tages brach alles zusammen, als er fast umgebracht wurde und Lady Eniwse, der er diente, durchdrehte. Doch das war noch nicht das Ende. Mit der Erweckung des Hexenjäger-Systems wird Vaan die Welt erobern und der Herr der Hexen werden. ===== Genre: [Mature Content] [R-18] [Smut] [Magie] [Hexen] [Dämonen] [Geister] [Drachen] [Bestien] [Reinkarnation] [Abenteuer] [Action] [Mystery] [Akademie] [Schwach-zu-Stark] [Scheming MC] [Harem] [System] [Diener] [Sklaven] [Smart MC] [Alchemie] [Schmieden] [Missverständnisse] [Spielelemente] [Kingdom-Building] [Overpowered MC] ===== Hinweis: Enthält Zitronen.

Was kann man an meinem neuen Leben nicht lieben, nachdem ich in eine haustierzentrierte Welt übergewechselt bin? Es gibt mächtige Kreaturen, die in allen Formen und Größen vorkommen. Sie können entweder kuschelige Begleiter, Helfer im Alltag, wagemutige Späher oder starke Kämpfer sein. Oder alles davon. Nicht schlecht, oder? Ich habe eine Familie, aber diese Tatsache wird von meiner jüngeren Schwester völlig überschattet. Sie hasst mich abgrundtief, und sie sorgt dafür, dass ich das weiß. Jedes. Einzelnen. Tag. Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass sie ekelhaft talentiert ist, während ich ein Versager bin? Und ein furchtbar gutaussehender noch dazu. Ich habe freie Hand, um das Familienunternehmen allein zu führen. Eine kleine und beschauliche Tierhandlung. Es hätte großartig werden können, wenn nicht der vorherige Besitzer dieses Körpers mit NULL Affinität zum Umgang mit astralen Haustieren geboren worden wäre... Es wäre keine richtige Seelenwanderung ohne ein Gimmick oder ein System, das mir den Weg zur Größe ebnet, meinst du nicht? Ich habe eins, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich ohne es besser dran wäre... Willkommen in der Welt der astralen Haustiere!

Nachdem sie sich in einer Welt der Tiermenschen wiederfindet, wird sie von einem Leoparden gerettet und später entführt. Bai Qingqing erleidet einen ziemlichen Nervenzusammenbruch, denn die Männchen in dieser Welt sind so prächtig und gut aussehend wie stolzierende Pfaue. Die Frauen hingegen sind lächerlich hässlich, werden aber von den Männern trotzdem sehr geschätzt. Als schöne Highschool-Schülerin ist sie irgendwie zur faszinierendsten Schönheit dieser Welt geworden. Das Schlimmste aber ist, dass diese Welt eine matriarchalische Gesellschaft ist. Sie will nicht, dass drei oder vier Ehemänner auf sie warten! In ihrem Leben geht es darum, einen Leoparden zu necken, einen Tiger zu kitzeln, eine giftige Schlange zu verführen und einen Adler zu fangen. Bai Qingqing, die einen vollen Harem hat, ist zu tiefst zu Tränen gerührt. Sie wollte wirklich nichts von alledem. "Hey, hey, Bruder Leopard, Bruder Tiger, Bruder Schlange, Bruder Adler, was macht ihr da? Bleibt zurück!" Es sind vier männliche Anführer: Der junge und starke Leopard, die schüchterne und stille Schlange, der kräftige Tiger und der unnahbare und einsame Adler.

[Reifer Inhalt] Es war nicht Islindas Plan, einen verletzten Fae im Wald zu retten, und schlimmer noch, er entpuppt sich als königliche Person, Prinz Valerie vom Sommerhof, Erbe und Kronprinz des Throns von Astaria. Aber die Menschen waren misstrauisch gegenüber diesen jenseitigen Kreaturen, während die Fae auf die Menschen herabblickten und sie als minderwertige Wesen betrachteten. Zwischen Islinda und dem Prinzen lagen Welten, aber das hielt sie nicht davon ab, sich ineinander zu verlieben. Leider konnte Prinz Valerie nicht ewig in der Menschenwelt bleiben und musste in sein Reich zurückkehren, mit dem Versprechen, zu ihr zurückzukommen. Und sie glaubte ihm. Doch dann kommt stattdessen der andere. Der dunkle, grüblerische, rücksichtslose und doch gefährlich gut aussehende Prinz Aldric wird von allen gefürchtet. Selbst als wilder Krieger und Sohn des Königs von Astaria wird Aldric sein Recht auf den Thron verweigert und er ist verflucht, wegen seines dunklen Erbes niemals seinen Platz einzunehmen. Von innen heraus verdreht und ohne Zuneigung, tut Prinz Aldric das, was er am besten kann: Unheil stiften. Er hat Islinda gefangen genommen - die Frau, die die Aufmerksamkeit seines Bruders auf sich gezogen hat. Er stahl sie aus ihrer Heimat für seine grausamen Zwecke. Wenn er schon nicht den Thron haben konnte, so konnte er doch wenigstens mit der Geliebten seines Bruders spielen. Seine neue Beute. Islinda hasste ihn. Sie hasste ihn dafür, dass er ihr alles wegnahm, was sie mit dem Sommerprinzen hätte haben können. Er ist der Schurke. Jetzt wurde sie in die schmutzige Politik am Hofe von Astaria hineingezogen, ganz zu schweigen davon, dass sie die kalten Spiele des Prinzen überlebte. Aber alle Hoffnung ist noch nicht verloren, denn der grausame Prinz kann sie verführen, so viel er will, aber das, was er sich am meisten wünscht, wird er nie bekommen. Geliebt zu werden. Er würde niemals ihr Herz bekommen! Oder könnte er das? ________ "Was kannst du mir bieten, kleiner Mensch?", grinste er langsam und grausam. Sie würde so ein wunderbares Spielzeug abgeben. "Bitte", flehte sie ihn an, Tränen sammelten sich in ihren Augen, "lass mich einfach gehen." "Gut", sagte er achselzuckend, als wäre es eine einfache Bitte, "Du kannst gehen." "W-was?" Sie krächzte und konnte es kaum glauben. "Kleiner Mensch, du wirst schnell merken, dass ich meine Meinung ändere." Diese Worte klangen barmherzig, doch sie konnte die Bedrohung dahinter spüren. Aber meinte er das wirklich? Islinda wartete nicht ab, um das herauszufinden, sondern setzte zum Sprint an. Wenn es auch nur die geringste Chance gab, dass er seine Meinung änderte, dann würde sie sie nutzen. Sie würde die Hoffnung noch nicht aufgeben. Sie wusste nicht, warum, aber Islinda warf nach einer Weile einen Blick über die Schulter, und das Blut wich aus ihrem Gesicht, als sie sah, was ihr bevorstand. Oh nein, sie hatte gerade einen schrecklichen Fehler gemacht. Das war niemals Freiheit. Es war eine Jagd. Und sie wurde einfach zur Beute. _________ Hinweis: Dies ist ein düsteres Fantasy-Buch und der männliche Hauptdarsteller ist ein Bösewicht, also erwarten Sie keine fluffige Romanze. Was könnt ihr erwarten? Tod, Blut, starke sexuelle Spannung und explizite Szenen. Außerdem ist es kein umgekehrter Harem. Geschenk Zauberschloss = 5 Bonuskapitel! Komm, lass uns eine wilde Jagd machen!

Die ehemalige Führungskraft Ying Zijin wachte eines Tages als die seit fünfzehn Jahren vermisste Tochter der Familie Ying auf. Die Familie Ying adoptierte prompt ein anderes Kind, um sie zu ersetzen. Nach ihrer Rückkehr in die wohlhabende Familie wurde sie von allen verspottet, weil sie nicht so klug, fähig, vernünftig und elegant war wie eine falsche Erbin. Ihre Eltern betrachteten sie als Schandfleck der Familie und warnten sie davor, sich Illusionen darüber zu machen, eine Dame der Familie zu sein. Sie sagten, sie solle dankbar sein, eine Pflegetochter zu sein, sonst würden sie sie wegschicken. Ying Zijin: "Dann werde ich gehen. Ihr braucht mich nicht zu verabschieden." Während die Familie Ying fröhlich feierte und andere darauf warteten, dass sich die echte Erbin lächerlich machte, wurden einflussreiche Persönlichkeiten aus verschiedenen Bereichen aktiv.

Die Nummer eins der Kampfsportler im Lande fragte: "Wer wagt es, meinen Meister zu schikanieren?" Der geniale Teenager mit einem IQ von 228 sagte: "Das ist meine Schwester."

Als die wahre Identität der Erbin bekannt wurde, sorgte dies im Internet für Aufsehen. Die Familie Ying drehte durch, kniete nieder, weinte und flehte sie an, zurück zu kommen.

Wiedergeboren als König, der ein starkes Comeback feiert und einen Gegenangriff startet!

I watch him, his green eyes brimming with concern as he gently massages my scarred leg. The sensation is both soothing and a stark reminder of my own inadequacy. The once-feared Crimson General, a symbol of power and invincibility, is now nothing but a frail shadow of his former self. I’ve been abandoned, left to decay in this forsaken place, my family and comrades long forgotten. Darkness had become my only solace, and I had resigned myself to it. Then he arrived, a beacon of light in my endless night. His presence, his care—it’s more than I ever deserved. Yet, I find myself clinging to him with an intensity that borders on madness. I hate that I need him so desperately, that his every action and word have become my lifeline. It consumes me, a torment I can't escape. "You don't have to do this. Please, don’t do this. I’m nothing. You deserve better. Leave. Please," I beg, my voice trembling with raw anguish, the very words tearing me apart. He continues his work, seemingly unaffected by my pleas. "Why are you here? Look at me! I’m nothing." Desperation and anger swell within me, mixing into a maelstrom of anxiety. I can’t comprehend the emotions coursing through me. "You're my alpha, where else would I be?" he responds softly, his gaze unwavering, as if my pleas were mere background noise. My heart races, torn between overwhelming relief and paralyzing dread. In that moment, I realize the truth: you would have to tear him from my cold, lifeless arms. I’m never letting go. - General Thorne, betrayed and broken, finds new life and love with Omega Noelle, who nurses him back to health.

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” Broken and shattered into a million pieces, Stark found all the memories of his past self forgotten, gone, swallowed by the endless abyss of nothingness. Stark opened his eyes to a desolate dark fantasy world filled with whisper and murmurs, sorcery and Esotericas, Grimoire and Palimpsest. Stark moves his feet forward with an intention of knowing about himself, his past self, who he once was. Was it a the right choice or the wrong one? Should he have knocked on the looked doors of Resonance or sought for solace in the open arms of forgetfulness?

Yet, this very contrast has made conflict an unending cycle, a storm that never truly settles. For as long as history remembers, Tanasma has been a battlefield of ideologies, where heroes and villains alike have risen and fallen, their ambitions either fueling the flames of war or extinguished before they could leave a mark.

Is war truly inevitable? Is peace nothing but a fleeting dream, crushed under the weight of unyielding beliefs?

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?

“You’ve been researching for years with nothing to show for it. Why not try something else?” Samia’s tone was sharp, but there was a thread of concern beneath it as she leaned against the doorframe. The room smelled faintly of sterilizing agents, and the rhythmic clicking of keys filled the silence. Dr. Elias didn’t respond immediately. Dressed in his lab coat, he stared at the screen with unwavering focus, his fingers flying over the keyboard. When he finally turned to her, a slow, almost unsettling smile spread across his face. For a moment, he looked like any other scientist lost in his work—until he blinked. The motion was unnatural, his eyelids sliding horizontally across his eyes like a lizard’s. “Samia,” he said, his voice calm but electric with excitement, “I’ve figured it out. This time, it will work.” She opened her mouth to respond, but he was already on his feet, moving past her with an urgency that demanded she follow. They made their way through the sterile corridors of the facility, the fluorescent lights overhead casting a cold glow on the walls. The reinforced chamber was a stark contrast to the rest of the building. Thick steel doors hissed as they opened, and the hum of machinery grew louder as they stepped inside. In the center of the room stood a massive contraption—a web of wires, tubes, and blinking monitors surrounding a sleek, cylindrical core. “What is it this time?” Samia asked, her arms crossed tightly against her chest. Dr. Elias didn’t answer. Instead, he moved with practiced precision, attaching cables and adjusting dials. The air felt heavier here, charged with the anticipation of something monumental—or catastrophic. “Get your goggles,” he said at last, stepping behind the protective glass. He tapped the side of his goggles, the lenses catching the faint blue glow of the machine. Samia hesitated. She had seen him fail before. Years of promises and miscalculations had made her wary, but there was something different in his demeanor this time—something unsettlingly confident. Reluctantly, she turned and jogged back to the lab to retrieve her goggles. The first explosion hit when she was halfway down the hall. The floor bucked beneath her, and she stumbled, her heart leaping into her throat. A deep, resonating boom echoed through the building, followed by a blaring alarm. “Dr. Elias!” she shouted, spinning around. Smoke and dust billowed toward her, and the acrid scent of burning wires filled the air. Part of the ceiling had collapsed, cutting off her path back to the reinforced chamber. And then she saw it. Through the swirling haze, a glowing orb hovered in the wreckage, pulsating with a light that seemed alive. It started small, no bigger than her fist, but it was growing—expanding with an eerie, deliberate rhythm. The hum it emitted was low and bone-deep, vibrating through the air and into her chest. “No, no, no,” she muttered, backing away. Every instinct screamed at her to run. She turned and bolted for the exit, her shoes skidding on the slick floor as she raced against the inevitable. She had barely reached the stairwell when a second explosion ripped through the building. The force of it threw her forward, and she hit the ground hard. Her vision blurred as heat and light engulfed her. Somewhere in the distance, she heard the structure groan as it gave way entirely. Then, everything went black.

In a world divided by towering walls, society is split into four their, each layer a stark reminder of one's place in the hierarchy. From the labor-bound populace of Wall One to the wealthy aristocrats of Wall Three, every citizen's life is dictated by the rules of their tier. At the pinnacle, behind the impregnable Fourth Wall, reside the General's council of seven who wield absolute authority, overseeing the realms below with iron-fisted precision.

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 45, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante, and the shocking news of an impending fiancé. The man who approached her, raven-haired and smiling with an unsettling charm, was none other than her once-rival from the court. A man she had both loved and loathed in equal measure. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—her eternal adversary—now her betrothed? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she trust the man who once stood as her greatest enemy? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

Now with his newly acquired "cheat" system in a new world he had just been reincarnated to. From an urban civilization to an even more futuristic, civilized urban utopia where magic and technology are well versed, Henry must find his true purpose in the new world as he discovers more beings like him both good and bad. And as he navigates his way to a better second chance, making new friends and encountering old foes courtesy of his predecessor. Going against both celestial entities and monsters from other realms and doing as he pleases, defying rules of the multiverses and discovering worlds beyond. "Or maybe I'll just kick back and relax in this New World." SNEAK PEAK! Henry stood face to face with the mysterious figure, their suits a stark contrast to each other. Henry's white and gold suit gleamed in the sunlight, while the other figure's black and purple suit seemed to absorb the light around them. A mask covered the figure's face, making it impossible for Henry to discern their identity. "You're quite the legend, Henry," the figure said in a low, gravelly voice "I've heard a lot about your skills." Henry's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" The figure chuckled. "Someone who's been watching you. Someone who's been waiting for the perfect moment to strike." Henry's grip on his fists tightened. "What do you want?" The figure smiled, their mask glinting in the light. "I want to see how fast you really are." Without warning, the figure took off, their black and purple suit blurring as they sprinted away. Henry's eyes widened, and he grinned. "Game on!" he exclaimed, taking off after the mysterious figure. The two speedsters tore through the city streets, their suits leaving trails of distorted air in their wake. As Henry left a trail of gold lightning so did the figure leave one of purple. Henry's Nitro suit glowed with a brilliant white light as he pushed himself to his limits, his feet pounding the pavement in a blur. The mysterious figure was fast, but Henry was determined to catch up. He focused all his energy on the chase, his senses heightened as he navigated the crowded streets. The city became a colorful blur as the two speedsters clashed in a battle of velocity and agility. Henry's heart pounded with excitement, his mind racing with the thrill of the chase. Who was this mysterious figure, and what did they want? Henry was determined to find out. Crap! I wanted to write more but looks like I've reached the word limit.

Love of Fortune and Steel is a historical fantasy that weaves together romance, comedy, adventure, and the clash of worlds. James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy. Their bond is further tested with the arrival of Saralta, a bold and free-spirited cavalry commander from the Vakerian steppes. In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.

I quiver as he snakes his arm around my waist with his lips behind my ear whispering, "So what would you say about my proposal, Zelda?" Peering into his eyes with a smile on my lips, I entangle him in a hug and plunge the knife at his back taking him by surprise. Slowly, he goes limp in my arms falling on his knees before me while staring at me and not uttering a word. Leaning forward, I give him a peck as a tear escapes from my eyes. "I'm sorry, either way it's meant to come to this." I say giving a him final look before twisting the knife further at his back, leaving him to bleed to death. ***** Griselda Capell, a seemingly average young lady with hidden abilities has only one ambition in life, 'to become successful and find a fairytale type of love'.

With a mass of powers at the tip of her fingers, tons of army at her command, Griselda turns out to be Aidan's most dreaded enemy, fear and weakness.

After losing everything, Daron Lamb is consumed by grief and guilt, until he's recruited by the Special Magic Force, an elite unit protecting the balance between magical and non-magical worlds. Together, they uncover a secret organization determined to free the God of Chaos, a force sealed away to protect humanity. As Daron investigates, he uncovers a chilling link between the group and his tragic past. Driven by revenge, he joins forces with his new allies to stop them. But as the truth behind the organization’s motives begins to surface, Daron is forced to confront a disturbing possibility: freeing the God of Chaos, though orchestrated by his enemies, might not bring the destruction he's been led to believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daron's gaze drifted downward to his chest. Below, the stark contrast of a faint blue light against his white skin caught his eye—a soft glow emanating from his own chest. It softly pulsed, a gentle luminescence that ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Baffled, he just sat there for a few moments, observing. As his fingers touched the source of light, he was surprised to find that everything felt normal, as if it had always been this way. It was like nothing had changed at all. Daron's eyes widened in disbelief when he noticed a strange black liquid seeping into the wounds on his chest—a substance like ink, flowing from within him. It moved with purpose, filling the gaps left by the fat butcher and stanching the flow of blood that had painted his skin red. "By the gods," he gasped, the sight both unsettling and miraculous. The black liquid quickly solidified, forming scars as black as the night sky. His eyes remained fixed on the eerie scene, his breath steadying to a normal rhythm. He was a magician now… it felt strange. He didn't feel particularly different. Sure, a mysterious substance had just mended his broken skin, but other than that, he didn't feel like he could do anything… new, anything special. He stretched out his hand, trying to summon a sharp wind to cut down his shackles. Nothing happened. Next, a flame, to burn down his cell. Nothing happened. “Figures,” he said to himself. “Why would it be easy?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For news and feedback, feel free to join the Vessel of Shadows Discord: https://discord.gg/dmCYCKNwx7

[Warnung: r18+/starker reifer Inhalt] Er ist ihre Rettung. Sie, sein Untergang. Dennoch weigert er sich, sie gehen zu lassen... Mineah, die jüngste Prinzessin von Ebodia, wurde bei ihrer Geburt verflucht, unbefleckt zu bleiben und Unglück über die Menschen um sie herum zu bringen. Diese Prophezeiung schwebt wie eine dunkle Wolke über ihr und wird mit jedem Jahr, in dem sie nicht eintrifft, größer. In der Gerüchteküche wird sie als bemitleidenswerte Figur dargestellt - zerbrechlich, sanftmütig, unerwünscht. Unter dieser Maske verbirgt sich eine starke und kämpferische Füchsin, die einer Königin würdig ist. Und diese Möchtegern-Königin hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, ihren Fluch zu brechen, selbst wenn das bedeutet, den gerissensten Vampir aller Zeiten auszutricksen. Nikolai, obwohl zurückgezogen und rätselhaft, wird vom Königreich Valcrez als weiser und mächtiger Herrscher verehrt. Was seine treuen Untertanen nicht wissen, ist, dass sein Bild von Perfektion ein Netz von Lügen ist, das, wenn es aufgedeckt wird, ihr Königreich und alles, was ihnen lieb und teuer ist, zum Einsturz bringen kann. Als sich die Wege der beiden in einem Heiratsbündnis kreuzen, beginnt das Spiel um die Verführung der Krone. Aber wer ist eigentlich der Jäger und wer die Beute? ******** Excerpt: "Warum ziehst du dich vor mir nackt aus?", fragte sie stirnrunzelnd und tat wenig, um die Irritation in ihrer Stimme zu verbergen. Ihr Ziel war es, nur sein Herz zu erobern, nicht seinen ganzen Körper! "Darf ich nicht mit meiner Frau baden?", bemerkte er mit kaltem Ton. "Ich habe absichtlich um eine große Wanne gebeten, nur um sicherzugehen, dass wir beide zusammen hineinpassen." Sie seufzte und riss ihren Blick nicht von ihm los, als sie ihre Fassung wiedergewann. Als sie sein Grinsen sah, zwang sie sich, es sich bequem zu machen, während er sprach. "So ist es schon besser. Du hast selbst gesagt, dass dich niemand gezwungen hat, mich zu heiraten. Stattdessen hast du dich freiwillig dazu bereit erklärt, also erwarte ich, dass du selbstbewusst genug bist, um ein Bad mit deinem Mann zu teilen", erklärte Nikolai zuversichtlich. "Schließlich werden wir bald mehr als das tun. Schamlos... Sie verhinderte, mit den Augen zu rollen, und schaffte es, ihm ein Lächeln zu schenken, als sie sagte: "Geben Sie mir nicht die Schuld, wenn Sie mir dann sterben." **** Anmerkung: Band 1: Hauptgeschichte Status - Abgeschlossen (Kapitel 1 bis 403) Band 2: Nebengeschichte Status - Abgeschlossen (Kapitel 404 bis 472) Band 3: Nebengeschichte Status - abgeschlossen **** PS: Das in Auftrag gegebene Buchcover ist Eigentum des Autors!

scene opens with a bloodied battlefield, littered with the lifeless bodies of demons and angels alike, both fallen and holy. The stench of death hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the acrid smoke of the scorched earth. The landscape is a wasteland, a testament to the brutality of the battle that had just unfolded.Not far from the carnage, hidden within the shadows of a cave, lay three figures. Two were gravely wounded, their bodies barely clinging to life. One was the archangel Michael, whose once radiant armor was now stained with blood, his wings torn and battered. The other was the fallen archangel Lucifer, his wings scorched and tattered, his face twisted in agony as he fought to stay conscious. The third figure, In stark contrast to the injured angels, stood tall and composed. His presence was almost ethereal, though his features were hidden in shadow, making him an enigmatic figure in the midst of the ruin. He gazed down at Lucifer, a look of sympathy in his eyes. “I’m sorry that you had to suffer this fate,” he murmured, his voice laced with regret. His eyes shifted to both archangels, and he sighed deeply. “I’ll make it right.” A brief pause followed, the words after “I’ll make it right” lost in a quiet murmur, as if the figure’s voice faltered, or the meaning was veiled in secrecy. The only words that were clear came at the end, filled with finality and determination. “Take this new life and…” Another break in his words, this time leaving a lingering silence. Suddenly, the scene faded, shifting from the cave of despair to a small, dimly lit room. A young man lay in bed, his body drenched in sweat, breathing heavily as though he had just run a marathon. His eyes flickered open, a look of panic written across his face. He bolted upright, the nightmare still fresh in his mind. “Shit, that same dream… when will it stop?” Lucian Cross muttered, rubbing his eyes as if to rid himself of the lingering remnants of the vision. Glancing at the alarm clock beside him, he saw the time—almost 7:30 AM. He groaned, realizing he was running late. With a sigh, he threw off the covers and reluctantly dragged himself out of bed. It was the last day of school, and though he had hoped for it to be a day of relief, it held no joy. It was the day of the awakening ceremony, a day that would determine his future and his job class, though Lucian’s expectations were low. School, in his mind, was nothing but a hellish place. A place where he was used and trampled on, his life a series of miserable days. But today—today was supposed to be different. It was his last day, and maybe, just maybe, the ceremony would bring something good. He didn’t dare dream too big, but a small hope flickered inside him. The vice principal called out, “Lucian Cross, come on stage.” Lucian gulped as the whispers of mocking and ridicule from his classmates and juniors filled the air. He could hear their gossip: “Why is he even here?” “Bet he’ll awaken nothing.” “He’s just wasting our time.” Tightening his fist, Lucian forced himself forward, his footsteps heavy with anxiety. Reaching the podium, he glanced at the imposing white crystal, its surface shimmering with an otherworldly glow. “Place your hand on the crystal,” the vice principal instructed. Lucian hesitated briefly before resting his hand against the cool surface of the crystal. The room fell silent, anticipation hanging thick in the air. Suddenly, the crystal erupted in a dazzling platinum light so bright it was blinding. Gasps echoed through the hall as a celestial-class phenomenon unfolded. The sound of heavenly trumpets filled the room, shaking the very ground beneath them. The heavens themselves seemed to part, and a radiant Roman cross-like gate opened in the sky above. From the portal descended two armies of celestial beings, one side composed of graceful angels, the other of fallen angels. The fallen angels were an intimidating sight. Dark knights clad ...
