Fifty Shades Meander

'Villain... I always wanted to believe I could become one.' That was my wish, and as fate would have it, my desire was granted. I became the most notorious villain of the novel. Now, I could do whatever I wanted. The first order of business was dealing with the Female Lead, who could become quite the problem for me in the future. “Sell your daughter to me.” “What do you mean all of a sudden…?” “I will give you fifty gold.” “F-fifty…!” "Is that not enough? Very well, I will give you one hundred gold.” “…!!” “Let me make this clear once more,” I stated as if it were a final notice, as if it were her last chance. “Sell your daughter to me.” And so, the deal was concluded. ...Just like that, I brought the Female Lead away from her mother and all I have to do is tame her. Now, I could truly do whatever I wanted. ------- Additional tags #Aristocracy #Boss-Subordinate Relationship #Beautiful Female Lead #Depictions of Cruelty #Confident Protagonist #Different Social Status #Determined Protagonist #Manipulative Characters #Female Master #Hard-Working Protagonist #Ruthless Protagonist #Sadistic Characters

I groggily opened my eyes, expecting the familiar sight of my own bedroom. But instead, I found myself in a strange room. "What the…?" 'Everything had been perfectly normal when I went to sleep—so how did I end up here? Have I been kidnapped?' The thought instantly put me on edge, removing any trace of sleep from my mind. Suppressing the urge to sit up, I narrowed my eyes, scanning my surroundings carefully, 'It looks like a warehouse, about fifty square meters, with no windows.' There is an oversized LCD screen on the wall—easily over 80 inches. A coffee table, topped with a few bottles of mineral water. Beyond that, the only furniture in the room is a single couch, with four people lying unconscious around the room’s edges. They all seemed to be asleep. Frowning, I felt an odd sense of déjà vu. 'Is this really a kidnapping? Or have I somehow gotten caught up in some kind of military exercise? A government operation, maybe? Or…' "Seems appearances can be deceiving. Who would've thought that an ordinary student would be the first to wake up, not to mention remain so calm and feign sleep to assess the situation. Such alertness is rare." "Who's there?" I jerked as a robotic voice echoed in my ear. It hadn’t mentioned my name, but it was clearly talking to me. Sticking to my low-profile approach, I stubbornly pretended I hadn’t heard anything, hoping to sleep my way out of this. "Amazing self-control, Lucas. But there’s no need to keep up the act. As the first to awaken, and someone who’s managed to impress me, I’m inclined to offer you a little reward." At this point, I could hardly keep faking it. Reluctantly, I sat up, my gaze locking onto the source of the voice: the television screen on the wall.

Adrian Woods was a burnt-out accountant barely surviving Tokyo’s relentless work culture when a chance encounter with a mysterious glowing circle dragged him into an unfamiliar world. Now stranded in the kingdom of Lunaris, Adrian discovers he has been summoned as a hero—though he’s hardly the sword-wielding, spell-casting type.

Above lies the endless expanse of the sky, a vast canvas painted in shades of blue and adorned with wispy clouds. Below, the sturdy, unyielding earth cradles the roots of towering trees, the whispers of grass, and the rich tapestry of life that thrives in its embrace. And occupying the space that graciously separates the two is air—the invisible breath that carries scents, songs, and the laughter of both the vibrant and the desolate. To the left, in the shadowy recesses where reality bends, linger the spectral figures of ghosts—echoes of the past, hinting at stories untold and lives once lived. They drift through dimensions, reminding the unsuspecting of remnants and regrets. To the right, the world of humans pulsates with life, ambition, and chaos—each individual a world unto themselves, striving, yearning, and often clashing against one another. Yet, at the very center of this cosmic arrangement stand the immortals, enigmatic beings who straddle the line between the mortal and the divine, their wisdom and power beyond the grasp of any mere mortal. For Jiang Bai, a newcomer thrust into this intricate tapestry, the world is not merely a staggering display of chaos. Armed with the most advanced Divination System known to existence, he possesses a unique ability to read the flow of fate and probability. To him, nothing in this world is unexplainable, and no individual’s destiny lies beyond his calculative reach. It is a gift—and at times, a weighty burden. Just after undergoing the life-altering journey of transmigration, he finds himself caught in an extraordinary encounter. He meets a legendary immortal—a figure exuding an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With an air of urgency, the immortal seeks Jiang Bai's insight, requesting a reading of his fate. As Jiang Bai channels the energies around him and peers into the threads of destiny, he is struck with a profound shock. The reading reveals an impending doom—the immortal has only thirty seconds left to dwell among the living. Stunned and deeply shaken by this revelation, Jiang Bai can't help but question the whims of fate. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some deeper design at play? The gravity of the situation sinks in as he recalls the dangers woven into the very fabric of the human realm—a perilous landscape rife with schemes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of cultivation. Each ascension toward immortality is shadowed by trials, and Jiang Bai knows all too well the treachery that lurks behind smiles and camaraderie. Faced with a monumental decision, Jiang Bai must navigate the blurred lines that separate ally from foe, illusion from reality. With the specter of mortality weighing heavily upon him, he recognizes that before he strides into the unknown, he must diligently assess his safety—a habit forged from his intrinsic cautious nature. On the brink of embarking on what promises to be an unpredictable journey, he turns to his Divination System, seeking guidance for the day ahead. “System, should I go out today?” he inquires, his heart racing with the anticipation of what lies beyond his immediate surroundings. With a calculated ease, the System responds, “Today is favorable for venturing out. Engage in activities such as cleaning and exploring the mysterious locales that beckon. However, heed this advisory: steer clear of marriage and intimate relations, for entanglements may prove hazardous in the treacherous world that awaits.” With a mind brimming with possibilities and the foreboding weight of destiny at his back, Jiang Bai steels himself. The world is poised on the cusp of an adventure, fraught with peril and promise, and he is determined to decipher the pathways ahead, one calculated step at a time.

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.

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!!

Was it hard? Of course, it was challenging to keep his wives from ripping his and each other heads out. Raised with love and weapons, Brittany, the last child of King Aaron, half-siblings possess extraordinary abilities. However, she remains lacking in many ways. Despite her father’s unwavering love, she still endures constant bullying from her three sisters. She is kind-hearted, stubborn, shy, gentle, innocent and flawlessly beautiful. Her eyes, two enchanting amber-bluish hazel orbs and her long silky dark hair stood out of all king Aaron children’s striking appearance of raven black hair and all shades of green eyes. Only, it just happened that things stopped being weak for Brittany one fateful day as she began to undergo transformations, signalling the abeyant powers she never knew that were within her. Will this mark the beginning of a new chapter in her story? What role will this newfound strength play when darkness arises? ««« This book is splitted into two parts (or volume) including; Volume 1- Brittany's life and adventure with family.
