She uttered coldly at the young man that wrapped one of his hands around her waist, from behind, as they hid in the shade of a dark corner, that could barely contain the two of them. She has never been touched so intimately like this by the opposite gender. The feel of his hand around her waist and the heat from his body, repulsed her. He pulled her closer to his chest and whispered in her ear, in a low but harsh tone; "Shut up! Are you trying to blow our cover!? If you would prefer to be held by those guys, then please, go ahead, be my guest. Just don't implicate me." The man's grip on her waist began loosening and slipping off. When this happened, she noticed that a part of her body was protruding out of the corner. This frightened her. Instinctively, she caught the man's hand before it had completely slipped off her waist and pushed her body onto his. Every part of her behind rested on the man now. "Shameless," He uttered in disgust. His words cut through her like a knife would. It was clear in the way he spoke that he wasn't interested in touching her. In a way, she felt insulted, she couldn't figure out how the man behind her felt disgusted by her body. Her body was to die for. Suddenly, she felt a hard bulge poking the upper part of her butt cheek. Knowing what it was, she smirked. "Vile hypocrite!!" She uttered loudly in triumph. "Aayyoo boys!! I heard a sound coming from over there!!" Immediately they heard this, the smirk on the girl's face disappeared and was replaced with fear. Her heart began beating faster and harder, scared of what was about to befall them. "I told you to shut up." The guy said angry before pushing her off his body and taking off.

In the Dawning Age, where humans and beasts share the dominion, the air crackles with anticipation. Aspirants yearn to awaken extraordinary talents, etching their names in the annals of warrior legend. Amongst them stands Ye Tian, ostracized for his dormant core – a mark of weakness in this era of power. But destiny whispers a different tale. A chance encounter unlocks the forbidden knowledge of the Copycat, a talent outlawed for its unorthodox power. With a mere touch, Ye Tian can steal the very essence of another's abilities, martial or beastly. A coveted swordsmanship? A mythical beast's regenerative prowess? All are within his grasp. Yet, the power is a double-edged blade. Each stolen talent bleeds into Ye Tian's mind, a symphony of alien memories and instincts threatening to drown his own identity. He must master the art of harmonizing these fragments, weaving them into a tapestry of unmatched power. But covetous eyes watch from the shadows. Powerful factions lust after the Copycat's forbidden potential, willing to unleash chaos to claim it. Ye Tian faces a brutal choice: succumb to the voices in his head, become a puppet wielding borrowed brilliance, or transcend the limitations, forging his own path as a legend whispered in hushed tones – the Weaver of Talents.

Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts". Prince an innocent hearted prince of the Bourbon Kingdom, one day has his life thrown into chaos by betrayal, and inherits an "Artifact" that is the ancient spirit of "The Dark King". Through misfortune after misfortune, Prince eventually loses everything and starts his life over without a royal name. Prince vows to make his way back to the top hiding amongst the everyday people of France. Prince is a Japanese style light novel based on Machiavelli’s classic "The Prince". Although this work takes influence from it, the story, quotes, and characters are all completely original. It is mostly the concept of good and evil that is borrowed from Machiavelli.

His head gradually bowed, and he fell to his knees in a pool of blood, sinking into despair. But when the time came, he knew he had to rise again, to continue bearing his heavy responsibilities and mission. "I cannot die! I must not die! I still have duties unfulfilled, a mission unfinished. If I fall, it would be a betrayal of my Lord! How could I fall? How dare I fall? I must not fall! I, Vahnlysu, will never fall! I must stand up! I must rise again! I will fight once more!" With that, he unsheathed the legendary sword, long sealed away, and a divine aura enveloped the entire area. "Great Father, please transform into my sword!" The legendary greatsword now appeared before everyone. When Borne looked again, he saw Vahnlysu raise the Greatsword of Divineking in his left hand, while his right hand held the Righteousness Greatsword low, forming a connection between heaven and earth. His clothing was tattered, his body hunched, but his expression remained resolute. He stood once more before Borne, gazing down upon him with the presence of a divine king. "My Lord, please forgive your foolish lamb, for today I must borrow your power." he murmured softly.

An old fantasy book was sitting still on the library shelf. And Astier Igreed, a man who adores written paragraphs on blank pages came across the said old book. Fascinated by its physical appearance, he decided to borrow it and took it home with him. He devoured every last word in that book and it became one of his favourite stories. But of course, in every story we love, there is always that one character that never ceases to capture our hearts. “Wouldn’t it be nice if one day we were given a chance to meet our favourite fictional characters?” Astier uttered. But perhaps, his great admiration for the book had caused it to turn into a magical object, turning the book into a portal that whisked him away inside the story. Everything seemed like a dream but the arrows and fireballs flying after Astier is certainly real! He’s being chased by royal soldiers! But why? “Don’t let the destroyer get away! Kill him!” ‘Wait, what? I’m the villain of the story?’

"What's that smell?" Taiga asked her brusquely cutting her off. "What?" She could tell her brother was angry. This surprised her. He almost never got angry with her. What was his problem she thought. "Also where did you get this sweater. I don't remember ever seeing you wearing it." He asked again. Megumi could feel her heart beating out of her chest. She started to panic but quickly composed herself, putting on a poker face. "A friend let me borrow it okay, its not a big deal, get off my case." She said shrugging him off. But his grip on her arm got tighter. "No, that smell. It doesn't smell like Rin and I know you don't have any other friend's so who is it?" "What? Rude! I have other friends!" She said feeling offended, despite his words being the truth. " I swear to God Megumi, don't lie to me. Who gave this to you because the smell coming out of you is the scent of a prey, and a deer no less." Megumi cursed inwardly. She forgot how good her brother's sense of smell was. It almost rivalled her own. Megumi didn't bother trying to hide it, she couldn't lie to her brother anyway. "So what if it is? Where's the problem in that?" Her words seemed to anger her brother even more. "Where's the problem in that?! Megumi are you serious?" "Do you not realize how dangerous this is?" Megumi looked at him confused. Taira couldn't help sighing seeing how genuinely lost his sister was. "Having a deer's scent on you is a form of marking Megumi. It's a form of submission for wolves!" This revelation shocked Megumi almost beyond repair. "How can a wolf submit to its prey?!" In what world did that make sense? ************************************************************************************************** Megumi Ahane, born into a wealthy family and blessed with wolf genes resents the life she has to live. In a world where you are either prey or predator, Megumi finds herself in a conflicting position where she has to choose between rejecting the genes she was born with or giving in to fate. ************************************************************************************************** Note: This story takes place in a modern setting but has some fantastical elements to it. There are a couple of twists and turns as well as some betrayal but overall there's not too much toxicity between the protagonist and the male lead. This story is both short and sweet.

WhatsApp info:+12 723 328 343 Email info: Adware recovery specialist@ auctioneer. net Website info: h t t p s : // adware recovery specialist . expert Growing up as a poor girl raised by a single mother, I learned early on about the value of hard work and resilience. My mother, despite her limited resources, made immense sacrifices to ensure that I had the opportunity to go to school. She worked tirelessly to provide for me, always prioritizing my education and future over her comfort. Her dedication and love were the driving forces behind my ambitions, and I am profoundly grateful for the sacrifices she made. With her unwavering support, I was able to excel in my studies, graduate, and eventually build a successful career. Through sheer determination and hard work, I achieved a level of success and financial stability that I once thought was out of reach. However, despite the accomplishments and the stability I had built, life took a sharp and painful turn when I fell victim to an online romance scam. The scammer, presenting himself as a charming and attentive partner, wove a web of deceit that I, in my earnest desire for love, failed to see through. The illusion he created was so convincing that I poured my heart and trust into it. I believed in the relationship with every fiber of my being, only to be met with the harsh reality of betrayal. The scam started subtly, with the scammer gaining my trust through sweet words and seemingly genuine affection. As time went on, the requests for financial help began. At first, they seemed reasonable and justified. However, as the amounts requested grew larger, I found myself borrowing money to meet these demands. The total loss amounted to an astonishing 120,000 GBP. Half of that sum was borrowed, a testament to how deeply I had invested in this illusion of love. The realization of my financial loss was not only devastating but also deeply humiliating. I felt betrayed, both by the scammer and by my judgment. Feeling overwhelmed by the situation, I confided in my older sister. She had always been a pillar of strength and wisdom for me. After hearing my story, she wasted no time in offering practical advice. She introduced me to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, a service specializing in recovering funds lost to online scams. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, hoping for a miracle. To my astonishment, the team at ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST acted with remarkable efficiency. Within just three days, they were able to recover the full amount of the money I had lost. They not only retrieved the funds but also provided detailed information about the scammer, including his methods and identity. The swift action and successful recovery brought a sense of relief and vindication that I had not thought possible. Despite the recovery of my funds, the emotional scars of the scam remained. Telegram info: @adwarerecoveryspecialist1 The experience was a harsh reminder of vulnerability and trust. However, I chose to forgive the scammer, recognizing that holding onto anger and resentment would only continue to hurt me. I decided to leave the judgment of his actions to a higher power, trusting that justice would be served in its own time and way. This entire ordeal taught me valuable lessons about resilience, trust, and the importance of vigilance. While the experience was harrowing, it also reaffirmed the strength of my support network, especially my sister’s timely intervention.

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!

The original person was imprisoned by the whole family. Not only did he do the hardest and most tiring work, but he also had no regrets. His parents spent all the money from selling food on the eldest brother and the third brother. They called the eldest brother the eldest son and the third brother. In addition, money is needed to obtain academic qualifications. As for the money that the original person deserves, the original person's mother pretends to save it for the original person first, but in fact, she secretly subsidizes the eldest son and the younger son. The wife Jiang Yubai that the original person married was said by her mother to be a evil star. Not only did she not let the original person and Jiang Yubai consummate their marriage, she also made things difficult for Jiang Yubai in every possible way, leaving the most tiring and dirty work to Jiang Yubai.

When her mother did not give her the money she deserved, Ji Huan went to the village to borrow money and asked the person who was borrowed the money to find it. The original parents want it.

# REALANDFAKEYOUNGLADY # ADOPTEDDAUGHTER # MARRIAGESTANDINS “Kong Zhao! It was just an accident! Please forgive me. You know that I love you!” The man took Kong Zhao’s hand as he admitted his mistake. The man who held her hand was her boyfriend of three years who had slept with her sister! Kong Zhao wrenched her hand away from him, feeling disgusted when he had touched her.“I don’t want to hear your excuses! Let’s break up!” Kong Zhao cut off their relationship cleanly. She was the Kong family’s adopted daughter. Her parents had no choice but to adopt her, and she had been raised by their servant, Mrs. Li. Her younger sister, who her boyfriend had slept with, was the real little prince of the Kong family. Kong Zhao was not bothered to deal with this unworthy relationship. She came back to borrow money. Mrs. Li had kidney disease and needed a large amount of money for her surgery.“ Do you want money? I won’t give you any unless you marry Cheng Fang!” Cheng Fang was the illegitimate son of the Cheng family. Rumor had it that he was penniless and a loafer. To get enough money for the surgery, Kong Zhao agreed. A small wedding made them husband and wife, and they lived together in an empty home. However, no one expected the man, who wore slippers and walked everywhere sleepily with a bird nest for his hair just a day ago to appear on the TV the next day as the wealthiest man around! Kong Zhao thought it was a dream, but the mysterious CEO cornered her the next day. She looked at the man who had the same face as her husband. She was dumbfounded and speechless, but the man gave her an adoring smile and said, “What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize your own husband?”

Sharon was an ordinary person, while her husband, Wallace Harris, was a promising and handsome man. His family was one of the most prestigious and wealthiest families in New York City. Being able to marry Wallace was an accident. Throughout their three years of marriage, Wallace had never slept with Sharon. His family also kept persuading him to divorce Sharon. It was the birthday party of the Harris family's old matriarch, and all youngsters of the Harris family had given the most expensive gifts possible to make the old lady happy—everyone but Sharon. She asked to borrow money from Madam Harris for the old housekeeper, Uncle Smith, as he had no money to pay for his medical treatment. But as expected, the Harris family humiliated her when she requested. "The Harris family has never had a poor relative like you. Don't you ever appear in front of me again! Wallace should've married Crystal. She's certainly a young lady who's worthy of marrying into our family!" said Madam Harris. "Please know your place and get out of here. Don't stay at our house anymore. How can Wallace's grandfather be so foolish to marry a poor, useless woman like you to my son?!" said June, Wallace's mother. "It's just a few million dollars, yet you're so poor that you need to borrow from our family. How can a woman like you deserve to be with Wallace? If it were Crystal, she definitely wouldn't have embarrassed us so much!" That night, Wallace handed Sharon a bank card, which contained millions of dollars. "The company is developing, so I don't have much cash. You can use this to help Uncle Smith." Facing the Harris family's hostility, Wallace stated, "Since I have married her, she is my responsibility. Regardless of her being rich or poor, Sharon is my wife." It wasn't until a stranger approached Sharon one day. Only then did Sharon know that she was the daughter of a top prestigious family, who was eligible to receive assets worth at least ten billion. She suddenly owned the largest company in New York and a bank card that contained hundreds of millions of 'pocket money.' In the blink of an eye, her identity had changed. She was no longer the poor daughter-in-law that wasn't favored by the Harris family. Instead, she had become the most prestigious person in New York!
