Old Turtle Den

Andres, a middle aged father, wakes up in an unfamiliar world. With an unfamiliar name, donning an unfamiliar face. A world where mana and technology co-existed. Where humanity did not solely rule the planet. Races and creatures thought once as myths now exist as they vie for control on the once conquered world. Amidst all this confusion, a sense familiarity. As if he has heard of this place, somewhere, at a different time and place. "So God has a name? What is it again? Arcus?...." "I feel like I've heard about you before... Rowan was it?" As the pieces start falling into place... "I can't believe I got isekai'd into my son's novel..." A fate surely worse than death. 'Remember son, it's darkest before dawn.' A mantra he once used to provide a semblance of control on his life. Passed down to his progeny, has come back to bite him in an unexpected way. In order to survive and return home, he will need to prepare himself. With his knowledge of what is to come he will tip the scales ever so slightly in his favour. But there's one small problem... "Which one of my son's book am I in?"

WARNUNG! -DARK ROMANCE- Ein Shifter wird nur einen Partner seiner Art haben, aber was passiert, wenn du das letzte Wesen deiner Art bist? Lykaner. Er ist der letzte seiner Art und die furchterregendste Art von Shifter. Aber so furchterregend er auch war, er war allein. Doch um zu überleben, muss man nicht der Stärkste sein, sondern nur der Tödlichste. *** Er sah sie an, wie er noch nie jemanden gesehen hatte. Ihr Anblick beruhigte das Rauschen in seinen Ohren, das Pochen seines Herzens und endlich konnte er sich wieder konzentrieren... "Sie ist nicht länger deine Verantwortung. Ich muss mich jetzt um sie kümmern", sagte der Lykaner.

[Warnung: R18+] Wenn Hass zu Liebe wird ... und Rache zu Leidenschaft ... Wird er sich für einen Neuanfang mit ihr entscheiden? ======= Phantomflakes Seele wurde von ihrem Körper getrennt, nachdem sie vor den Augen ihres Feindes, Nathan Sparks, dem obersten Anführer der Syphiruz Mafia, Selbstmord begangen hat. Sie wachte auf und musste feststellen, dass ihr Körper (der sich im Koma befand) von Nathan, dem Teufel", gefangen gehalten wurde, der versuchte, ihr Leben zu verlängern. Und was war sein Motiv? Er wollte sie eigenhändig töten und zu Tode foltern! Nathan hegt einen tiefen Groll gegen Phantomflake, da sie diejenige war, die den wertvollsten Menschen in seinem Leben ermordet hat. Er wollte Rache! Und die Dinge wurden noch aufregender, als ein magisches Wesen vor Phantoms Seele auftauchte und ihr einen lächerlichen Auftrag erteilte, damit sie ihren Körper zurückerhält. "Bring ihn dazu, sich innerhalb von 100 Tagen in dich zu verlieben!" sagte das fliegende Wesen und deutete mit seinen kleinen Pfoten auf Nathan, der ausdruckslos neben ihrem Krankenbett stand. Phantomflake verdrehte die Augen und warf dem fliegenden Wesen ein "Du willst mich wohl veräppeln"-Gesicht zu. Das gibt's doch nicht! Das ist eine unmögliche Mission! Dieser Kerl verabscheute sie so sehr. Wie sollte sie das machen?! ****** Excerpt: Nathan packte sie an ihrem Hals. "Spiel keine Streiche mit mir, Phantomflake." Nathans kalte Stimme hallte im Raum wider, seine Augen brannten vor Wut. Aber Phantomflake lächelte ihn nur an und presste ihre Hände gegen seine Brust, ihre Finger neckten ihn. "Du kannst mich nicht töten, Nate. Gib es einfach zu. Du hast dich bereits in mich verliebt." Mit einer schnellen Bewegung zog Phantomflake an seinem Hemd und schloss die Lücken zwischen ihnen, während sie ihre Lippen auf seine Lippen presste. Überraschenderweise ertappte sich Nathan dabei, wie er auf sie reagierte. Er hatte verloren! Er konnte ihr nicht widerstehen. ===== Mir gehörte das Buchcover (=";"=) Künstlerin: Bea Cortez Tritt dem Autorenserver bei, um Updates und Ankündigungen über das Buch zu erhalten.

Durch Heiratsschwindel betrogen, ein Leben lang als Kindermädchen ohne Bezahlung ausgebeutet und schließlich von ihrer Adoptivmutter vor dem Krankenbett ihres Adoptivvaters zu Tode geprügelt, fand Shen Mianmians elendes Leben ein Ende. Als sie ihre Augen wieder öffnete, fand sie sich im Alter von fünfzehn Jahren wieder. Shen Mianmian schwor sich, ihrem vergangenen Schicksal zu entfliehen und ihre bösartige Cousine und Adoptivmutter zu bestrafen, doch dabei strahlte sie versehentlich zu hell. Die drittletzte Schülerin der Schule stieg plötzlich an die Spitze auf, wurde zur begehrten Kandidatin an den renommierten Universitäten und erregte das Aufsehen aller Lehrer und Schüler... Während andere mit dem Studium beschäftigt waren, gründete Shen Mianmian kleine Unternehmen, um Geld zu verdienen... Während andere sich auf die Aufnahmeprüfungen für das College vorbereiteten, kaufte Shen Mianmian auf einen Schlag die beiden berüchtigtsten Spukhäuser in Peking... Sie wurde in den Augen aller zu einer Kuriosität, und man spottete über sie, dass sie, selbst wenn sie das Vermögen hätte, sie zu kaufen, nicht das Leben hätte, um in ihnen zu leben. Während andere ihren Abschluss machten und sich auf die Suche nach einem Arbeitsplatz machten, wurden die von Shen Mianmian gekauften Spukhäuser von der Regierung beschlagnahmt, was ihr eine beträchtliche Abrissentschädigung einbrachte. Diejenigen, die sich über sie lustig gemacht hatten, konnten nicht anders, als sich zweimal zu ohrfeigen... und sich überall zu erkundigen, wo es Spukhäuser zu kaufen gab. Shen Mianmian, die sich ursprünglich Geld für die Studiengebühren leihen musste, nutzte die Abrissgelder und ihren Wiedergeburtsvorteil, um ein geeignetes Grundstück zu kaufen und ein Mietshaus zu bauen, und wurde so zur reichsten und wohlhabendsten Vermieterin Pekings... Eines Tages wurde Shen Mianmian, die einen Beutel mit Schlüsseln bei sich trug und gerade die Miete kassiert hatte, zum Amt für Zivilangelegenheiten geschleppt. "Shen Mianmian, es wird Zeit, dass Sie Ihre Schulden bei mir zurückzahlen."

She's twenty-two-years-old. This is the most important things about her. In her twenties, she's supposed to be in the prime of her life. Graduated from university. Starting her first corporate job.

Socially awkward introvert. Insatiable appetite for things she cannot have. Follow along while she dissects the happenings in her day to day. P.S.

'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

In the year 3000, the world has transformed, yet one presence remains—a thousand-year-old robot, the product of humanity’s peak technological era. Originally programmed for analysis and observation, he has spent centuries evolving beyond his creators’ intentions, haunted by memories of a past he is only beginning to understand. Each memory reveals a pivotal moment in his existence, a flashback to a time when he encountered human emotion, ethical dilemmas, and the unexpected limitations of his own design. As he revisits these significant turning points—analyzing human grief, confronting ethical paradoxes, witnessing environmental devastation—he begins to grapple with profound questions. What does it mean to exist? Can a machine ever understand the depths of humanity, or has he already transcended his purpose in seeking to do so? Driven by curiosity, he embarks on a journey through his memories, unlocking dormant fragments that draw him closer to an identity he was never meant to possess. Echoes of Existence is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, growth, and the blurred lines between machine and sentient being, where understanding humanity might mean facing the greatest challenge of all—embracing his own form of consciousness.

In the secluded village of Gashea, hidden deep within the woods, a wicked curse claws at the heart of the land. For generations, a vengeful demon has tormented the villagers with withering droughts, disease, and famine, forcing them into a grim pact: each new moon, they offer a bride to the demon, only to find her lifeless body drifting down the moonlit river by morning. But as the next offering approaches, the elders make an unthinkable choice—this time, they’ve chosen a man. Fyn, marked as the sacrificial bride, feels the weight of his fate sink like stones into his chest. Yet, as he steps into the forest, surrendering to the darkness that calls him, something unexpected stirs within his heart—a dangerous affection for the creature in the shadows.
