Thanks!] Reborn as Aditya Mahasenara, the youngest son of the Holy Lord of the Agni Celestial Sect—one of the Four Great Sects of the Ten Thousand Mountains realm—he gains an advantage like no other: a powerful System. Driven by ambition and a hunger for dominance, Aditya sets out to hunt down the so-called chosen ones, laying waste to heroes, bending the heavens’ daughters to his will, and blazing a ruthless path of conquest. With each step, he carves his legend, aiming to rule over a world that bows only to power.

In a world ruled by immortals and split by the rivalries of powerful races, the Starfall Sword Family holds one of the few true immortal bloodlines. The third young master, Lin Feng, is a diligent but unremarkable heir—or so everyone believes. Reborn with the power to manipulate probability itself, Lin Feng sees the unseen threads of fortune binding others to their fates, potentialities just waiting to be exploited. But rather than relying solely on his rare gift, Lin Feng becomes a master manipulator, treating luck and people as resources in a game only he can see. With only three months before the Beast Academy’s entrance ceremony, where talents from across the realm gather, Lin Feng sets his plans in motion. Each connection, every friendship, is a calculated asset. Those blessed by fate become his stepping stones or fortune-tapped reserves. In this grand game of shadowed alliances, immortal family plots, and uncharted lands prowled by ancient beasts, Lin Feng knows he must dance with utmost caution. The academy hides secrets capable of toppling empires, and his own family’s immortal ancestors pull strings across centuries. Straddling the line between ruthless schemer and obedient son, Lin Feng builds his power piece by piece. He’ll risk everything—and anyone—to reach the top, because in a world teeming with monsters and immortals, only the most relentless will prevail.

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.' -- Williams Shakespeare --- "Should I dip my hands in holy water so I can touch you?"
