Cheerful

In the heart of the bustling city, nestled amidst towering skyscrapers, lay a corporate office where two familiar souls were destined to cross paths once more. Lily and Ethan, childhood friends who shared giggles on the playground and secrets in the library, had drifted apart after middle school. But fate had different plans for them. In the bustling corporate world, Lily, a senior employee known for her strict demeanor and impeccable work ethic, reigns with an iron fist. Her dedication and no-nonsense attitude have earned her respect and fear among her juniors, who steer clear of her path to avoid her sharp scrutiny. However, there's one exception to this rule – Ethan, a new junior who happens to be an old friend from her school days. Ethan's presence breaks through Lily's self-imposed barriers. He's transformed from the quiet boy she once knew into a vibrant, outgoing man who wears a perpetual smile. He's quick to help, warm to everyone, and his positivity seems boundless. While others might be intimidated by Lily, Ethan navigates her formidable exterior with ease, thanks to their shared history. As Ethan's unwavering cheerfulness fills the office, Lily can't help but feel a pang of jealousy. She watches as he effortlessly garners the admiration of their colleagues and chips away at her carefully cultivated reputation. His ability to maintain such happiness in the face of stress and pressure perplexes her, and a sense of rivalry takes root. The more Lily observes Ethan's interactions, the more her annoyance deepens. She becomes fixated on his seemingly perpetual joy, believing it to be a facade that undermines her own meticulous approach. As her animosity towards his positivity grows, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Memories of their past friendship only intensify her internal struggle.

◾ SYNOPSIS◾ He stood motionlessly, his cloth dripping of excess muddy liquid, his gaze fixed on the retreating petite figure, riding away on her bicycle. His face was as phlegmatic as ever, his icy stare lingering on the lucky lass. "Just say the word, Zay", his friend nudged. An almost inaudible sigh escaped his lips. He dug his finger into his hair, ruffling it a bit. He turned around and walked towards his car, not even sparing his friend a glance. As soon as he gets in, he shuts the car door, placing his head on the car's head rest while closing his eyes. His men understood the message and put down their guns. Jove shook his head and turned to walk to the car. "It's your first time, dude. What the heck happened?" He asked, walking into the car. "Take the wheels, Damon." His mesmerizing yet cold voice rang, ignoring Jove's question. Jove sighed dramatically and leant back on the seat, bringing out his phone - he was used to his best friend already. Zayde Stoll was the name. His name alone triggered lots of emotions - love, admiration, fear, hatred and every other feelings one could possibly have. He was dangerously handsome; an exact opposite of his real self. At 25, he already was the world's youngest billionaire, having the least number of ten companies in each country. His name made great men fall to their knees and everyone wondered how his fame grew that much. He was known to be eerily cold and he killed without second thoughts. He only needed to say the word and whoever would drop at his feet. He was a real description of a merciless demigod and people shook when he entered college. Jove was his best friend and the only person he talks to aside his Dad, despite their very striking differences. Jove complimented his name - he was one hell of a jovial person and really cheerful...but the heck, he was the world's biggest player. Although he condemned the manner with which Zayde handled his victims, he knew he couldn't do anything about it, having known Zayde since childhood. "Damon! You want to kill us?!" Jove suddenly yelled, yanking off the earpiece he had on. He had fallen back on impulse from the near death crash they barely escaped. He glanced at Zayde, a mistake at first, because the latter never acted like something just happened. His men kept stoic faces too, leaving him dumbfounded. "Am I the only living thing in this car? Because Damon almost sent us to our earliest graves and none of you will f**cking tell me you didn't see that!" Jove yelled. He was this close to being infuriated. Damon chuckled loudly. "It was only a mistake", he said with a shrug. "Yeah, a mistake that would've marked an end to my beautiful life", he said bluntly, his voice unable to mask the sarcasm. "You should be shameless at times, Jove." Boris said, turning back to look at Jove. Just then, Zayde put on his headphone with a slightly irritated huff, a clear indication everyone were disturbing him. They all shut up at once, returning to their previous activities. "You'll watch them kill me one day." Jove mumbled, sinking down into the seat.

Xu Zimei found himself reborn, carrying with him all the heaven-shaking cultivation and memories from his previous life. But something was off about the script. Isn’t reincarnation always the protagonist’s theme? However, I was cast as the villain! This is the story of a villain's step-by-step journey to becoming the Demon King. —————————— In an era of great strife, where mystical arts resonated! An elder of the True Martial Holy Sect sat at the Willow Bank River Fishing Platform when suddenly he heard the dragon’s roar. Three thousand carps knocked at the gate of life, transforming into the Measureless Golden Dragon, soaring through the firmament, graceful as a startling swan! There were strongmen who measured the heavens and earth with their strides, monks who sat in meditation in temples for three thousand years, achieving sudden enlightenment—auspicious clouds descended, and all laws of magic cheered in chorus. Blood moons darkened the night, rainbows cut through the daylight. There was a swordsman with a wooden sword on his back who, with a turn and a raise of his hand, shattered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. In the south of the city, a ragged beggar with a broken willow twig dared to assault the Holy Court of a sect that boasted three emperors.

"3, 2, 1… FIGHT!" the referee shouted. Both of the fighters threw punches at each other, and the crowd cheered. Benjo got hit, Chad got punched, and they just kept striking each other. In the video's of their previous fights they made me watch, they just wrestled and pinned each other, and it was boring. Chad got knocked to the ground and got up once more, then Benjo did the same. Mark and I watched in silence, closely. A lot of minutes later, both of the fighters ran out of breath and just stood meters away from each other, each taking a moment to catch their breath. Both of them really gave their all in the fight, they really showed how much they hate each other. The crowd grew silent, and I looked at Mark, "Damn, that was badass!" "Yeah, I agre-" "WHAT IS THAT!" someone shouted while Mark was talking. I look at the fighters, something glowing caught my eye. Their forearm to their fist, is glowing, glowing and blazing with yellow aura, yellow particles are coming out of the aura like a kindling fire. The crowd are in amazement, and I take a closer look. I saw a lion beside each of the fighters. Two lions, one lion beside Chad, and one lion beside Benjo. Both of the lion are growling at each other. Wait, a lion? When did it get there? There shouldn't be supposed to be lions around here.

Synopsis: The Architect’s Gambit “Oh, don’t look at me like that. You’ve never met a psychopath before? A sociopath? Please. Call me The Architect. It sounds classier, doesn’t it? I know, I know—you’re not here for me. You want to know about Giovanni Sungwo, don’t you? The struggling little mortal from Velmont, desperate to escape the filth of his pathetic existence. Let me spoil it for you: Giovanni thinks he’s playing my game. Thinks he can use my System, my power, to claw his way out of the gutter and become some multi-billionaire, king of industry, or whatever nonsense his fragile mind dreams up. He’ll even try to justify it, call it survival, say it’s for his precious mother or his faraway sister. But I’ll let you in on a little secret—he’s not special. None of them are. He’s just another pawn. Another fool who will dance when I pull the strings. Watch him. Watch as he dupes himself (literally), manipulates markets, and tries to bend the world—and me—to his will. Think he’ll win? Think he’ll survive the alien glyphs, the intergalactic powers watching his every move, or the tiny voice whispering in his mind that maybe, just maybe, I’m right? Oh, you poor thing. You’ve already lost. Go on. Read his story. Cheer for him. Hope for his success. I’ll be here, laughing. It’s what I do best.”

[Synopsis] In a dark, underground basement, a spooky old man's voice sent shivers down my spine. "You're gonna meet your end, hahaha," he taunted, before lunging at me with a sword, slashing the air, and spattering my throat with red drops. "We'll see," I defiantly whispered, my last words fading as I drifted into darkness. Suddenly, I woke up in a bustling tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses.

Slaying the Ancient Evil? Theora would rather sleep. The System is losing patience with its strongest heroine, Theora, who seems determined to avoid her Main Quest at all costs. While the world is waiting for her to save it, Theora would much rather nap, take detours, and maybe even procrastinate a bit more. When she finally decides to confront the Ancient Evil, she’s surprised to find Dema—a cheerful, slightly mischievous demoness with no interest in the usual life-or-death showdown. Instead, Dema suggests they go on side quests together. And, against all odds, Theora finds herself saying yes. But they can't stall forever. With each side quest, each laugh, and each delay, the System grows more frustrated. It's only a matter of time before it forces Theora to choose between friendship and destiny. And with the clock ticking, how long can they keep the System at bay?

As the title says. I'm sooo not the runt of the pack. so hi, my name's Kristie Jefferson head cheerleader of Katy high's cheer-leading squad girlfriend of all-time-hottie Devon Faulkner american football captain... well... not really~ more like a best friend, though people don't know that except him and me. But to be honest... i really do wish we were real. The only problem is... were we really meant to be? Do i have to find my 'the one' somewhere else? My whole life is practically breaking apart now as one problem pops out right after another. And not problems your usual ordinary werewolf girl faces everyday. Try adding second chance matings (in the wrong time!!!), secrets, traitors, revenge, and a whole bunch of misunderstandings to the picture. bad enough? Now add murderers, faction wars, prophesies, 'creatures from hell?', and a 99% chance of 'us' failing that will lead to the fabric of our world ripping apart. bad enough yet? The saddest part is... I neither have the time nor the tears to cry anymore. So I ran away, to escape everything, join a new pack, and changed my name, my appearance, and even my gender!!! But why do you insist on holding my hand? Who are you? Why do I feel a bond with you that should'nt be there? And why do you seem so familiar?! I dont know you! Why do you keep looking at me with that loving gaze?! . . . Bro. . . are you gay?!?
