Eve Thompson wachte im Bett des begehrtesten Junggesellen von S City auf und hatte seinen Arm um ihre Taille gelegt, aber sie hatte nur die Worte ihrer Mutter im Kopf. "Pass auf, dass niemand herausfindet, dass du dich als deine Schwester verkleidet hast", sagte sie ihr und betrachtete das falsche Muttermal, das mit Make-up auf das Gesicht ihrer verbliebenen Tochter gezeichnet war. "Du musst Mr. Charlie dazu bringen, dich zu heiraten, alles, was wir haben, hängt davon ab!", sagte sie. Es war eine Schande, denn der Mann neben ihm ähnelte sehr dem Mann, den sie vor vielen Jahren verloren hatte. Anthony Charlies Gunst bei den Frauen war bekanntermaßen schwer zu erlangen, aber im Vollrausch kroch er mit der Frau neben ihr unter die Laken, angelockt von der Erinnerung an jemanden, den er vor langer Zeit verloren hatte und dem diese Frau ähnelte. Aber sie hatte kein Muttermal. Das konnte sie nicht sein. War ihre Begegnung zufällig? Was würde ihre verborgene Vergangenheit enthüllen? Begleiten Sie Eve Thompson auf ihrer aufregenden Reise des Werbens und der politischen Spionage, während sie in die Fußstapfen ihrer Zwillingsschwester tritt und versucht, ihre Familie zu retten, indem sie das Herz des mysteriösen Junggesellen Anthony Charlie gewinnt!

Elegant, poised, and quick-witted, Jian Yu is the dream of many. As the youngest Chief Editor of a leading fashion magazine, she has the world at her feet. But this picture-perfect life shatters when she is suddenly transmigrated into a sweet romance novel. Call it her luck, but she’s not the leading character who sweeps the world with her brilliance nor the rich heiress to a powerful clan. Nope. She’s stuck as the evil sister-in-law of the FL, known for her villainous schemes, jealousy toward the FL, and a life of doom. Determined to rewrite her fate, Jian Yu comes up with a simple plan: live the high life, keep her head down, and avoid all drama. Easy, right? That is, until her grandmother's last will ties her to Han Jue, the blue-blooded and imperturbable young master of the prestigious Han Clan, in the name of marriage. Cue, the start of her destined villain’s fate. Han Jue is everything you’d expect from the textbook definition of a frosty CEO—tall, dark, and brooding. Their engagement? A cold-hearted business deal, no love involved. Or so Jian Yu thought. What she doesn’t know is that Han Jue can hear her every thought. And suddenly, the fake marriage doesn’t seem so fake anymore. [Jian Yu thinking: What? I’m supposed to marry him? What kind of twisted game is this, Grandma?! You set me up with a literal refrigerator—am I supposed to sleep with an electric blanket to survive the night? Why didn’t you just send me to live with a snowman instead?!] Han Jue pursed his lips and looked at the obedient and docile Jian Yu in front of him. Did she really think he couldn’t hear what was going on in her head?

Ji Li was a common fantasy and cultivation enthusiast like in any other part of the world. He, like many others, even though already 29, still liked to pretend to be in the ancient times. Using blankets as robes and towels as crown, he liked to wander around his home, pretending to be a royal. Then, switching his clothes, he acted like a general, a scholar and sometimes even an eunuch. He has always been a bit curious about them. He himself never thought he'd lose out being one, as dreams were far from reality. Even as a tall man with an average face and slighty trained body, since he has to regularly run to work, still he never found the 'love' everyone talked about since elementary school. Surely that's too early anyways but he truly felt like that. He, who had a fascination with that, had suddenly died doing his favourite thing. Yes, he pretended to be an Eunuch this time. And then, when he came to the bathroom and was about to take everything off, he suddenly fell, because he didn't put back the towels he used to shower just a few hours before. Agh! Isn't that what his mom always told him? "Clean up or you will someday hurt yourself!" Well, he died. Lucky for him, his soul dying while doing his favourite thing pushed him away from the river of oblivion, rushing towards reincarnation without drinking the soup of forgetfulness. ... - Chapter length varies early on but stabilises at 1,600 words.

I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips.

Lan Sol was a beta tester for an open-world survival strategy game called *Global Ice Age Survival*. The game had only released its beta version over the years, with no sign of a public release anytime soon. The premise of the game was simple: Upgrade the campfire—the most crucial source of warmth and the heart of the territory—build various structures, recruit workers, and survive in the frozen world. Sounds boring? Not quite. The game featured monsters, magic, dungeons, and numerous kingdoms scattered across multiple continents. Players could ally with kingdoms, conquer them, or even dominate the entire world. The ultimate goal? Transform a medieval-themed kingdom into a modern, automated one. The game was difficult but oddly satisfying. Lan Sol had finally achieved a 100% completion rate. He eagerly awaited the official release, excited to conquer the game once more. But when he woke up the next day, he found himself in a snowy wasteland. A cold wind howled as the world around him lay blanketed in white. It was so cold that it felt as though the sun no longer existed. It didn’t take long for him to realize he had been transported into the very game he had played for over a year. And he wasn’t alone—every individual on Earth had been transported to this icy world. Waking up next to a campfire, Lan Sol began his journey by upgrading it, knowing it was the first step to survival. Before long, he discovered he had received an exclusive reward: an SSS+ ranked talent.

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders.

But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time.

Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

So with my position on the bed, it meant that the book in my hand should be a notebook not a textbook. I dropped my phone and looked at my right . Low and behold! The tall and mysterious figure was sitting on my study chair and was looking at me the whole time . It uttered these words "hello mortal". I was startled and I was about to scream again. 'Don't let me knock you out again ,mortal'. When I heard these words,I knew I had to zip it and find a way to talk myself out of this situation. With my heart beating as a hunting mamma cheetah ,'who are you,no what are you' I asked. I am Thanatos. Mortal,your time has come. Come along now. What do you mean by my time has come? I am Thanatos,the god of death. The god of death? Wait ,so if you're here,does it mean that I am dead? Yes mortal,so you're coming on a journey with me to the underworld. There's no way that I'm dead. Anyways, Isn't Lord Hades,the god of the dead? Yes he is. Then why are you here? As my name suggests, I'm the god of death. Think of it this way, Hades controls the Underworld while I, Thanatos fills it with the dead,like you. Shouldn't a grimm reaper be here instead of you ? Yes,there should have but Hades said I've been lazing around for far too long and handed me this task. You're the first human I'm escorting personally to the other world so consider yourself lucky. I'm sorry Mr Thanatos, however I still don't believe that I'm dead. How else could I have used my phone and felt my blanket? Come with me. To where? To your bathroom and don't call me Mr. You can call me lord Thanatos or prince Thanatos 'Thanatos said'. As we entered the bathroom,I saw my body lying there unconscious.

Having lived for most of her life as a worthy saintess, Maia never expected that one day, she would be betrayed by the people she once cherished. In a moment of anger, she ended up razing the Temple of Light to the ground and became an outlaw who was hunted down by the believers of light. It would have been quite a depressing story on her part, but with a certain vampire who had taken an interest on her and kept taking advantage of her along the way... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ What time was there left to be depressed?! She just wanted to kill this blood-sucking mosquito that kept on buzzing around her everyday! ........ "Darling, your scent is much too seductive. It really makes me want to take a bite out of you." Neilos once again entered her blanket and started sniffing around her neck. "Get lost!" Maia turned towards him, trying to push him away but the man just playfully wrapped his arm around her waist, trapping her in place. "Just one bite. I promise it won't hurt." "I said NO!" "If not, then a lick would do too." "You dare!!!"

Update: Mon, Wed, and Fri [Very Mature and Explicit Content] Amongst the battlefield of death and destruction, a lone warrior, her body ravaged by bone charring burns. Spirits of the recently dead drifted aimlessly, and hungry Burburus devoured both souls and body, sparing only the living and strong-willed. Yet, she found herself fixated on the Demon Lord, Ose, and the fact she is convinced he is in love with her. ... A vile smell rose from the brimstone red of blood and entrails that spilled from allies, foes, and those that were supposed to be protected. Hundreds of bodies blanketed the landscape of debris that was once a great city, wails and cries of the dying were heard over the strong winds, their hands wet as they tried to hold their own life in their wounds. If only she had more training to assist with their injuries, in the knighthood she was groomed for solely combat. The spirits of the recently dead roamed aimlessly, not yet aware they were dead and that they would meet true nonexistence if they were not to seek shelter from the real horror to come. A sense in Yin energy was coming from the vast distance, but she was distracted by the smell and sight of a battle that was truly ungodly; fitting for battles between there armies led by Demons. Above, she could see the sunlight having its own battle with thick clouds that were a profane-black with only a little light caressing her skin, deep as rich earth. The lack of sunlight only made her colder, and fortunately for her more impassive to her surroundings, or that could also be because of the fact that a large part of her body weren't charred until her bones were blackened. Her skin was covered in the soot of the nerves and flesh of her right arm, shoulder, and parts of her torso that were completely disintegrated. "Dammit, Ose," she thought bitterly, her frustration boiling within with each sharp breathe in her chest. "If it wasn't for your ridiculous obsession with me, I wouldn't be here--suffering in hell and then some." Ever since he first laid his eyes on her, she was convinced the Demon Lord had secretly fallen in love with her. The threaded sigil of his eyes that seemed to hold the magic of the aurora lights remained visible on the back of her uniform, though her body was barely there. In the name of her tormentor, the 'Great' Demon Lord Ose, she walked towards the edge of the battlefield.
