Review The Dinner

In the wake of tragedy, Jack Hayes struggles to cope with the devastating loss of his younger brother, Ethan "The Viper" Hayes, who dies in a brutal MMA fight against the reigning state champion, Rico "The Beast" Martinez. While the match is ruled an accident, Jack is haunted by the belief that foul play led to Ethan's untimely death. Consumed by grief and anger, he grapples with feelings of helplessness and guilt. In his search for closure, Jack decides to enter the world of MMA—not for revenge, but to find peace and honor Ethan's memory. Under the mentorship of Lena, a seasoned fighter with her own troubled past, Jack begins a grueling training regimen that tests his physical and mental limits. As he fights through local circuits, he discovers the camaraderie and resilience of fellow fighters, all of whom share their own struggles and stories of loss. As Jack rises through the ranks, he adopts the persona of "The Ghost," channeling his brother's spirit and seeking to transform his pain into strength. But as he gains recognition, the specter of Rico looms larger, culminating in a high-stakes tournament that could earn Jack the chance to face the man he holds responsible for Ethan’s death. In the climactic battle, Jack confronts not just Rico, but the internal demons that have plagued him since the tragedy. As he fights for redemption, he learns that true strength lies in embracing the past and that finding peace is a journey, not a destination. "The Ghost of the Ring" is a powerful tale of grief, resilience, and the transformative power of sport, exploring the delicate balance between revenge and healing in the unforgiving world of mixed martial arts.

Asking herself inwardly “Do I really have to die?”. P.s : This is a first time for me, mistakes are unavoidable… please be gentle and support. Thank You

(I will be posting on Royal Road from now on since I've heard some bad stuff about this site) Nightmares are an intriguing experience. Many can feel so real you’d swear they weren’t fiction. Every monster, every horror and every fear you’ve ever had can come to life. Many wake up in a cold sweat, convinced that the experience was real. They are then soothed by reality, promised that it was only a dream, a mirage. A fiction. That means they failed. Those who succeed are rewarded with their memory. And so much more. When Jacob manages to survive a particularly realistic nightmare, he ends up being thrust into a world of magic and mayhem. This is the story of how his life transformed from normal into the definition of abnormal.

In her past life, she was the perfect substitute for a noble lady, discarded in the most cruel manner once she had outlived her usefulness.

At the age of four, standing in the grand hall, to protect her weak but dearly beloved brother, she stained her hands with blood and swore to the heavens, "I will shoulder the responsibilities of this world for him, and I will bear the calamities of this world for him!" Ten years later, a woman dressed in plain clothes like the snow under the moon, of breathtaking beauty, emerged in the martial world, beyond the reach of imperial power. "What I desire, what I set my eyes on, shall be mine." In the royal capital of Pan City, at the Martial Arts Assembly, heroes gathered from all corners of the land. Upon the high platform, with just one stunning glance and a casual smile, she captured the hearts of countless admirers and stirred the envy of others. As chaos and war swept the land, as the imperial star faded and warlords rose, the Princess of the Cheng Dynasty drew her sword, abandoning the freedom of the martial world to take to the battlefield. With her sword gleaming in battle and her spirit unyielding, can she protect her country and its people, and uphold the vows she made? Watch as she, a woman from another world, captures the hearts of both men and women, shines in this tumultuous age of heroes, and writes her own legend! Self-introduction: Feng Xianyue: “There is something in this world that surpasses love and freedom, something worth sacrificing everything to protect. I am Feng Xianyue, the Xihe Princess of Feng Nation. They are my responsibility and duty!” Lan Yixuan: “What I desire most in life is perhaps to get a good night’s sleep, to forget everything and live in peace. Your arrival was unexpected, and my desire is no longer just to take lives without bloodshed, but to—have you!” Xuanyuan Hao: “I want both the throne and the woman, but if I must choose one day, I will choose the throne. As for her, I will cherish her in my heart for the rest of my life—no regrets.” Bai Zhanfeng: “Only a woman who can match me in battle is worthy of my affection. Xianyue, is it? I declare that from this day on, you are my woman.” Jun Pinyu: “With my skilled hands, I can cure all ailments and relieve the most bizarre poisons, but who can cure this lovesickness that afflicts me?” Feng Jiulan: “Yue'er, I only wish for you to live a simple life as the most ordinary of people. It’s my fault as your brother that you have suffered.” The heroine is powerful, with both strength and influence, and the story is one of everlasting love between one man and one woman.
