I was nobody—a faceless drone, slaving away at a meaningless job in the modern world. But fate—or perhaps something far more sinister—had other plans. One moment, I was staring at the rain-slick asphalt of a street I'd never cross. The next, I woke up in a world torn straight from fantasy, staring down at hands that weren't my own. I was not only in another world; I was inside the body of King Alaric Varelius—dead, bloodied, and betrayed. In a next few moments, chaos engulfed me. Assassins came attacking me, and before I even get to scream, a voice in my head whispered to me: Skill Activated: Gluttony. When I woke up, I was covered in their blood, their strength flowing through my veins, and a glowing status window hovered before my eyes. It said one thing: in this world, power isn't earned—it's taken. But death is far from being the end for me. Each time I die, I revert to the same damned moment of rebirth—becoming the dead king once again. Wielding the skill Gluttony and replete with experience garnered through multiple lives, I vow to cut out my path towards survival. The kingdom I now rule teeters on the brink of collapse, plagued by treacherous nobles, ancient grudges between races, and whispers of a Demon King's impending invasion. It's clear what I'm here to do: unify the races, strengthen the kingdom, and uncover the mystery of why King Alaric—and now I—was marked for death. Every death teaches me something new. Each enemy I slay adds their strength along with their memories into mine. But the stronger it gets, the less one can control and harness it. More so, with each successive life taken, the hunger gains momentum. Can an ordinary nobody like me, a man, really be the king this broken world needs? Or will I lose myself to the darkness within before the final battle even begins? One thing’s for certain: I’ll die trying. Again. And again.

I had tried to secure my Bitcoin wallet, maybe a bit too aggressively, enabling every security feature imaginable: two-factor authentication, biometric verification, intricate passwords-the whole shebang. I wanted to make it impossible for anybody to get to my money. I tried to make this impregnable fortress of security and ended up locking myself out of my wallet with $700,000 in Bitcoin. It wasn't until I tried to access my wallet that I realized the trap I had set for myself. I was greeted with an endless series of security checks-passwords, codes, facial recognition, and more. I could remember parts of my multi-layered security setup but not enough to actually get in. In fact, my money was behind this digital fortress, and the more I tried to fix it, the worse it seemed to get. I kept tripping over my own layers of protection, unable to find a way back in. Panic quickly set in when I realized I had made it almost impossible for myself to access my own money. That is when I called DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION From that very first call, they reassured me that I wasn't the first person to make this kind of mistake and certainly wouldn't be the last. They listened attentively to my explanation and got to work straight away. Their team methodically began to untangle my overly complicated setup. Patience and expertise managed to crack each layer of security step by step until they had restored access to my wallet. Dunamiscyber@solution4u.com +13433030545 contact@dunamiscybersolution.com

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

"Margaret, du bist die ältere Schwester, du musst der jüngeren nachgeben." In ihrem ganzen Leben hafteten diese Worte wie ein Fluch auf Margaret. Ob es nun ihr geliebter Teddybär, hübsche Kleider, Halloween-Süßigkeiten oder die Liebe der Eltern war, wenn Elizabeth es verlangte, musste sie ihr alles bedingungslos überlassen. Seit ihrer Jugend hatte Elizabeth auf Margaret wie ein riesiger Berg gelastet und sie erdrückt. Zum Glück hatte sie noch einen Freund, der sie seit sechs Jahren liebte - Amster, den Alpha des Rudels. "Du wirst meine Frau und die zukünftige Luna des Rudels", versprach er. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie und ihre Schwester 18 Jahre alt wurden, und sich herausstellte, dass Amster' Geliebte und zukünftige Gefährtin ihre Zwillingsschwester Elizabeth war! Margaret sah zu, wie Amster, der gesagt hatte, dass er sie liebte, sich leidenschaftlich mit Elizabeth küsste und Elizabeth ohne zu zögern als Luna ankündigte. Der einzige emotionale Halt, den Margaret besaß, zerbröckelte; wieder einmal war ihr das, was ihr gehörte, von Elizabeth entrissen worden. Schlimmer noch, Amster bat Margaret sogar, die Gäste zu unterhalten. Und das alles nur, weil Elizabeth nichts anderes konnte, als sich zu beschwatzen und zu verkleiden. Unfähig, die Bitte ihres ehemaligen Liebhabers abzulehnen, stimmte Margaret zu...

"Margaret, você é a irmã mais velha, você tem que ceder à mais nova." Em toda a sua vida, essas palavras grudaram como uma maldição em Margaret. Seja o seu amado ursinho de pelúcia, vestidos bonitos, doces de Halloween ou o amor dos pais, se Elizabeth pedisse, ela tinha que incondicionalmente cedê-los a ela. Desde jovem, Elizabeth pesava sobre Margaret como uma enorme montanha e a sufocava. Felizmente ela ainda tinha um namorado que a amava há seis anos—Amster, o alfa da alcateia. "Você será minha esposa e a futura luna da alcateia," Ele prometeu. Até o dia em que ela e a irmã estavam completando 18 anos, e a amante e companheira destinada de Amster acabou sendo sua irmã gêmea Elizabeth! Margaret assistiu enquanto Amster, que disse que a amava, beijava apaixonadamente Elizabeth e anunciava Elizabeth como a luna sem pensar duas vezes. O único sustento emocional que Margaret possuía desmoronou; mais uma vez, o que pertencia a ela havia sido arrancado por Elizabeth. O que é pior, Amster ainda pediu a Margaret para entreter os convidados. Tudo porque Elizabeth não sabia fazer nada exceto bajular e se arrumar. Incapaz de recusar o pedido de seu antigo amante, Margaret concordou com isso...

In the year 2094, humanity united under the TWG (The World Government), achieving a utopia where war, discrimination, and division became relics of the past. This newfound unity propelled technological advancements, leading to interstellar exploration and unprecedented scientific achievements. The pinnacle of this era was the RE: LIFE project, where humanity played god by creating and enhancing lifeforms, shaping them into obedient servants of human will. However, this Golden Age marked the genesis of mankind's greatest folly. The emergence of the Maggie Virus, a pathogen capable of infecting and transforming all biological life into hyper-evolved entities with terrifying abilities; plunged humanity into a millennium-long war for survival. As the infected, known as the Maggie, grew stronger and more adaptive, humanity fought back with the Appros project: android goddesses forged from an extraordinary alien alloy, Eros, that could absorb and channel the life force of human males.

His father planet, a place were Eros material could be mine, has potential to garner no less than A-Rank Appros. But their is one problem, all Approses made from the material of this planet, had the Obsessive love trait, as a unique attribute, as a result of this, Mammon life is now flooded with a Harem full of bat shit crazy android woman who are all after his treasure. Now between surviving their love, and brining up his father company, this is the story of how Mammon became a legendary figure in his world.

Did you know that the flesh of the little demon boasts a protein content six times that of beef, capable of providing an individual with their daily hydration needs? Its tender texture is infused with various vitamins, making it suitable for stewing, roasting, frying, or grilling, and it is renowned for its beautifying properties. This green and healthful delicacy has garnered fervent admiration from the aristocracy of Byronwell, with numerous demon hunters amassing wealth through the trade of little demon jerky, despite many of these offerings being fraudulent, comprised of the flesh of wretched fiends. However, Alan wishes to convey that he would rather consume a mouthful of weeds than swallow even a morsel of little demon meat. Because… the taste is reminiscent of excrement.
