Top Five Thomas Hardy

Every little girl's fantasy is to live a wonderful life full of riches and luxuries. This was the future she imagined, and she was willing to go to any length to obtain it. She was spoiled, pampered, and doted on by her family, and she was proud of herself. She knew she deserved the best, and she went for it. This, however, is where the nightmare began. Wanting to leave the clutches of poverty wasn't as simple as she believed, given the things she had to give up, the humiliation she had to endure, and the numerous things she had to lose. It was not worthwhile. When she thought she had it all, she was slapped in the face with the cold, hard truth: she was only a SUBSTITUTE. And when two of her closest companions turned on her and betrayed her, she was shoved aside and got humiliated by people she used to know. With nothing and no one to lean on, she was forced to make decisions. Decisions that gradually resulted in something breathtakingly amazing. [DING! SIGN IN! THE HOST HAS BEEN REWARDED WITH ******]

Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

Ruby was a genius; however, she tragically passed away after falling from the fiftieth floor of her own company's building. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an entirely different world. Have you ever heard about the Ghost World? I'm not referring to the world of deceased individuals, but rather a planet. Ruby was shocked when she woke up in the body of an twenty-year-old girl who was already married and had four ghostly husbands. Unfortunately, these husbands didn't love the original owner, and the original owner treated them poorly. The first husband leaned over with a sly smile on his face and said, "You think you can leave me, pretty wife? Nope! Once my eyes catch what I like, I will get it no matter what." The second husband angrily exclaimed, "I hate you, stupid witch! Don't leave me; your stupid husband loves you." The third husband innocently said, "Wife, I made my special soup for you," and proceeded to show bowls filled with blood. The fourth husband gently raised her chin and said, "Wife, I can't believe that with every passing second, minute, and hour, I'm falling for you even more." The fifth husband, who fell in love with her at first sight, looked at the camera and arrogantly smiled. "I fell in love with someone at first sight! Get ready to grab it; I'm throwing ten thousand gems to celebrate," he declared as the camera panned to a room filled with money and treasures. Ruby : "..." Please, someone, make me dead again.

(This is not a normal cultivation novel. It will have fantasy elements but after 100 chapters.) Roy’s journey began in tragedy. As a newborn, he was separated from his parents, left in a small village for his safety. Raised by the kind-hearted villagers, his life seemed peaceful for a time. But when Roy was just three years old, the Demonic Blood Sect descended upon the village, massacring its inhabitants and abducting the children. Roy was one of the few taken, thrust into a life of cruelty and slavery. For years, Roy endured the horrors of the sect, clinging to fleeting memories of his parents and the whispers of their love. At nine, he managed to escape, driven by an unyielding will to survive. In his desperate flight, he stumbled upon a mystical cavern, where he encountered the Heavenly Monarch. Recognizing Roy’s potential, the ancient entity gifted him the Heavenly Origin Qi Technique, one of the most powerful cultivation methods known. With this newfound power, Roy vowed to grow stronger, to search for his parents—if they still lived—or to avenge them if they did not. Journey to the Top: The Path of Power is a tale of resilience, vengeance, and unyielding determination. With intense battles, intricate world-building, and heartfelt character growth, the story delves into themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the cost of power. Roy’s journey is one of survival, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of strength to protect those he holds dear. Will he reach the pinnacle of cultivation, or will the shadows of his past consume him? -------------- This is my first book and I will make some mistakes but I will strive to improve on them. Here are few things that you can expect from this novel. 1. No Cliche Young Masters -- I mean there can be one or two but the story wont be filled with them 2. Little to No Plot Holes / Armour -- But there will times when the MC will be lucky (without that the story can not even start) 3. Detailed power structure -- The power structure and everything related will be detailed. The power structure might seem generic at the start but it will show its uniqueness later on in the story. 4. I do not intend to drop this story. I already have a long story plot in mind.

He slides his hand between her legs and pulls her in. She gasps and holds on to him for support as he runs his fingers between her lips and clit. She's trembling from his touch.
