Scarlet Evergarden

Qiao Nan: Verdammt! Ich bin deine leibliche Tochter, aber ich werde behandelt, als hätte man mich von der Straße aufgelesen. In Wirklichkeit behandelst du mich noch schlimmer! Mutter Qiao: Qiao Nan, du bist nicht so hübsch oder klug wie deine ältere Schwester. Du bist nicht so gesegnet wie sie. Du hast kein Recht zu studieren, zu heiraten oder dein Glück zu finden! Qiao Nan: Warum darf ich nicht studieren, heiraten oder mein Glück suchen? Ich werde auf der Stelle einen Mann finden und ihn heiraten! Qiao Nan ist verblüfft, als sie feststellt, dass der Mann neben ihr eine mächtige Figur im Hof ist - die Person, die die besten Aussichten auf den Posten des zukünftigen Chefs hat. Qiao Nan starrt auf den gut gebauten Mann vor ihr. Er hat kräftige Bauchmuskeln und kalte, kühlende Augen. Sie schluckt den Kloß im Hals hinunter, als sie ihn begrüßt: "Guten Morgen, Chef!"

It was inhabited by the "Humans". The humans were known to be the weakest race yet they were also regarded as the most intelligent of all races. Humans were normal beings who were only focused on creating and evolving by using their intelligence. In addition, they also used martial arts as a power tool to become stronger. They were completely surprised when they learnt of other races existence such as the Elves, Dwarves, Fees, Demons and many other beings whose strengths and powers were beyond their imagination. But what surprised them the most was to find out that there were humans like them who possessed great powers like the other races. These humans resided in two different places, the first one is the "Azua Empire" and the second one is "Juptier Planet" they self-proclaimed themselves as the descendants of the gods, since they possessed divine powers and mighty abilities. The normal humans couldn't yet fully accept the fact that there actually existed mighty beings, until Aella, a stunningly beautiful girl, came to the city of Sion. After being born, Aella May Scarlet, the legitimate daughter of the Pearls family, a family who are known as the most influential, powerful and wealthy family in Sion city, was swapped with the Zeiner family's daughter and was abandoned by them in the most dangerous forests known as the "Eclipse Kingdom", which was filled with mystical and monstrous creatures. Aella was found and raised by her master/father Otiz Scarlet, a man who is regarded to be the strongest man on earth. When Aella turned ten years old, Otiz began to train her as he realised that Aella possessed mighty powers and skills. ---------- In a deserted land stood two men, an elderly woman and a little girl. Suddenly, the taller man, Otiz, let out a long sigh and said, "....Aella". "Mm" answered the little girl Otiz raised his eyes and looked at the mess created by Aella and spoke again. "I can't believe you actually destroyed an entire kingdom." The little girl scanned with cold eyes the place that looked like a desert, she then looked at her master and flatly said. "You told me to do it." ".....! What?" "I did!?." *** AUTHOR'S NOTE Hello everyone, this is Nedjyna the author of this novel. This is my own original novel, and it is copyrighted.

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

When Detective Neuvillet stepped over the threshold of that case, he had no idea he was walking into more than just an investigation… He was crossing into a world from which no one returns the same. He was chosen by the Lord of Nightmares to witness a terror untold — where scarlet and shadowed realms bend to no human law. Not fully human, not entirely great… but something incomplete. A fractured being in a land that does not tolerate imperfection. Around him, Gothic structures twist and coil, and the air hangs heavy with the scent of ancient ink, as if the very words fear to be written. But beyond this prevailing madness lies a madness far greater. The Crimson Moon’s sovereign watches from his lofty perch, his beasts slithering through the shadows, hunting the sins of the Writer… with an eye called the Eye of Chaos — where sins are not forgiven… but made flesh. So how can a detective solve a crime… when he himself is part of the curse?

Sold by her father, Bella short for Arabella, was forced to live a life as a slave that would entertain the guests of the castle. The job of slaves were merely to be humiliated and to have as feast once they became a boring creature toward the guests. Arabella with her fierce attitude had only caused more trouble than good, although that helped her from being feasted by the vampires until her body dried up, the vampires also enjoy in harming her, toying with her, hoping to see that one day she would break. However she had caught the wrong attention by those crimson gaze, eventually being the toy of the one and only Mad Crown Prince of Versailles. Eventually this interest only cause her to be more tangled by the twisted and thorny battle for the Throne. Will eventually Bella concede and accept the Mad crown prince? Or will she finally succeed in running away from his grasp. Why her? *** excerpt*** Arabella felt her wrists stung as the shackle around her wrist jingled from the sudden pull. She then met with the icy red eyes that brood down upon her appearance, drinking into every inch of her figure as if he was studying her, even to how those breaths escaped her lips. "I thought we had bonded over the days we have spent together, Bella," he sang, his bright scarlet eyes betraying the singing tone he had used as it had grown so dark and filled with anger. "Yet you left so quickly as soon as I opened the castle gate." Bella gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at him as she defiantly shook his hand off her face, "I can remind you if you have forgotten it, Your Majesty, I am kept here against my wish." Cassius' smile faded as he stared at her. The sudden pin-drop silence filled her nerves with tension as she found his smileless face the most terrifying sight. She had always known his fearsome side however, it felt scarier tonight. Bella tried to endure how loud her heart had raced against her chest, gathering her breaths together even though it remained shallow in his presence. "So cold," he muttered, his tone trying to tease her, but she could see the raw anger crossing his eyes. "You cannot run from me. Not after what we've done. Not after what you promised." Her heart faltered. She wasn't supposed to stay in this castle; she knew that the royal palace was filled with those vampire monsters who would kill for their desire, simply to have fun. She knew she should never give her heart to any of these monsters, and she had once believed she would never. But that was until Cassius came. She had made that promise because her heart had betrayed her, and she wished that she had never uttered that promise. Promises she had made to him on the call of love. Yet deep within her, a part of her still crave for him. "You're not the first one I have broken my promises with," she gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "I broke my promise the way you broke yours first, isn't it fair?" "Fair? Then was everything a lie, Arabella?" he murmured, his hands cupping her face, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You were mine the moment you entered my castle. And you will be mine until the very end." She gulped as his eyes shone underneath the moonlight, his gaze unforgiving over her, exposing his wild hunger. Her breath caught, her pulse quickening. "A human and a vampire should have never stayed together. They were all right." "I don't care," he spoke through his clenched jaw. "You're going to remain here by my side forever."

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

Holo’s life was once a series of relentless hardships—bullies at school, abusive parents, and heartbreak at the hands of those he trusted. After a failed suicide attempt, a mysterious man offers him a deal: help rehabilitate four psychopathic girls, and in return, earn ten million dollars. Desperate and naive, Holo accepts, not realizing the chaos and danger awaiting him. Each girl comes with her own dark tendencies—Trixie, a violent and feral girl who acts on impulse; Scarlet, a master manipulator who delights in breaking people down; Felicia, a dangerously seductive woman battling a sex addiction; and Eleanor, a cold, calculating girl with a desire to watch the world burn. As Holo works to bring out their humanity, the girls become obsessively devoted to him, their love transforming into something darker.

Scarlet's peaceful life was shattered when her brother, Prince Jacob, made the horrifying decision to annihilate their family. As a witness to the brutal incident, Scarlet chose to remain silent about the true culprit, her tyrannical brother. All of a sudden, Prince Jacob ascended to the throne of the Earth Empire due to the fact that the throne was empty. Oddly enough, no one seemed to suspect him in connection with the gruesome event. Despite having witnessed such a horrific scene, Scarlet's determination remained unbroken. She stayed composed and acted with reason, all for the sake of her own survival. She vowed to herself that she would avenge her family and seize the throne for herself. How would she overcome these daunting challenges? Find out more by reading the story! Note! If you're a fan of slow-burn romance novels that delve into action, revenge, and similar themes, this might be your cup of tea! But if not, then what are you even doing here? Are you Intrigued?

Valérie, la fille de l'Alpha assassiné de la Meute de la Pierre Jaune, ne pouvait jamais diriger la meute car elle avait un loup Luna. Son compagnon, Tristan, fut désigné Alpha à sa place. Après avoir assumé le titre d'Alpha, Valérie fut piégée et brutalement rejetée, non seulement par Tristan mais aussi par toute sa meute, et sa petite sœur, Scarlet, avec laquelle Tristan avait des liaisons secrètes. « Je rejette Luna Valérie comme ma compagne. Elle a été surprise au lit avec un étranger, ce qui signifie qu'elle trahirait la meute. La punition pour la trahison est la mort », annonça sans cœur l'Alpha Tristan. Les chants des membres de la meute et des Alphas visiteurs venus pour la conférence des Alphas les attirèrent vers le jugement. Personne ne s'attendait à ce que l'Alpha Denzel, dont le nom faisait dresser les poils sur leur peau en raison de sa cruauté, se rende à la conférence. Valérie trouva de l'espoir lorsqu'elle réalisa qu'Alpha Denzel était son compagnon de seconde chance, mais elle fut douloureusement rejetée une fois de plus. Le double rejet la conduisit à perdre son loup, et elle fut condamnée à mourir par tous les Alphas présents. Elle pensait que son sort était scellé lorsque l'Alpha Denzel partit et qu'un guerrier était prêt à l'exécuter. Tout le monde fut choqué lorsque soudain, l'Alpha Denzel se retourna. « Arrêtez ! La fille traîtresse d'un Alpha défunt ne doit pas être tuée. Plus de souffrances l'attendent », déclara-t-il. Le cœur de Valérie chuta lorsqu'elle vit son regard sombre, qui était comme un gouffre sans fond, alors qu'elle s'évanouissait d'épuisement. Quelques mois plus tard, une guerre éclata entre les Alphas alors qu'ils commençaient à revendiquer la Luna rejetée deux fois. Avec son loup mort, la déesse lunaire aura-t-elle la grâce de lui en donner un autre ? Et quel Alpha sera capable de faire fondre son cœur désormais glacé ?

In the realm of Teneria, situated on the continent of Erica, three princesses are poised for significant achievements. Runa, designated as the chosen one, wants to restore the kingdom to its former prominence. Scarlet is motivated by retribution, strives to reclaim her lost domain, and seeks vengeance for her people. Jessica, prepared to foster unity across the realm, must adeptly navigate the complex landscape of power dynamics and political maneuvering. Their trajectories converge upon the resurfacing of the Blue Compass, concealed for over four centuries. This compass serves as a navigational instrument leading to the esteemed Nadine Nectar that bestows upon the consumer the ability to attain dominion over all creatures. The unexpected re-emergence of the Blue Compass, a long-lost artifact, disrupts the prevailing peace and incites widespread conflict. Nations that had previously maintained a fragile harmony now find themselves in opposition. The three princesses, each embodying a distinct destiny, emerge at the forefront of this turmoil. As nations unfurl their war banners and issue battle cries, the location of the Nectar becomes known solely to the individual in possession of the Blue Compass. As the princesses undertake a perilous journey to secure the Nectar, they must confront personal adversities, cultivate unexpected alliances, and confront formidable adversaries. However, as they move closer to their objective, they realize that the price of power may exceed their initial expectations. The crucial question remains: will Runa, Scarlet, and Jessica surmount their differences and collaborate to obtain the Nectar, or will their divergent paths lead to the undoing of the Realm? This is Teneria, where the quest for power and the authentic essence of greatness are rigorously examined.

Valerie, la hija del asesinado Alfa de la Manada de Yellow Stone, nunca podría liderar la manada porque tenía un lobo Luna. Su compañero, Tristan, fue nombrado Alfa en su lugar. Después de asumir el título de Alfa, Valerie fue acusada y brutalmente rechazada, no solo por Tristan, sino también por toda su manada, y su hermana menor, Scarlet, con quien Tristan había tenido aventuras secretas. —Rechazo a Luna Valerie como mi compañera. Fue sorprendida en la cama con un extraño, lo que significa que vendería la manada. El castigo por traición es la muerte —anunció desalmadamente Alfa Tristan. Los cánticos de los miembros de la manada y los Alfas visitantes que habían venido para la conferencia de los Alfas les atrajeron al juicio. Nadie esperaba que el Alfa Denzel, cuyo nombre hacía que los pelos en su piel se erizaran debido a su crueldad, llegara a la conferencia. Valerie encontró esperanza cuando se dio cuenta de que Alfa Denzel era su segundo compañero destinado, pero dolorosamente, fue rechazada una vez más. El doble rechazo le hizo perder a su lobo y fue condenada a morir por todos los Alfas presentes. Pensó que su destino estaba sellado cuando el Alfa Denzel se fue y un guerrero estaba listo para ejecutarla. Todos se quedaron en shock cuando Alfa Denzel de repente se dio la vuelta. —¡Deténganse! La hija traicionera de un Alfa difunto no debe ser asesinada. La espera más sufrimiento —declaró. El corazón de Valerie se hundió cuando vio su mirada oscura, que era como un pozo sin fondo, mientras ella se desmayaba de agotamiento. Unos meses más tarde, hubo una guerra entre los Alfas a medida que comenzaron a reclamar a la Luna rechazada dos veces. Con su lobo muerto, ¿será misericordiosa la diosa de la luna para darle otro lobo? ¿Y cuál Alfa será capaz de derretir su corazón ahora frío?

Su Wan married the man she had loved for ten years with a heart full of joy. On their wedding night, however, he said to her, "Su Wan, you've been given the status of Mrs. Xu. All you need to do is fulfill your duties. The only things you can get from me are power and money, nothing else." Su Wan, holding a sincere heart as if it were red-hot coal, wanted to tell him that she had secretly loved him for many years. But before she could give away her true feelings, they were thrown to the ground and shattered. Everyone thought that Su Wan must be very happy to marry A city's most noble man, Gu Nanzhou. Even Su Wan herself thought so. But that was just what she thought. Until one day, Su Wan realized that no matter what she did, she could not warm Gu Nanzhou's indifferent heart, and she no longer hoped to gain his love. She chose to leave, to set each other free, leaving only a divorce agreement behind. Everyone knew that Gu Nanzhou had no feelings for Su Wan and that marrying her was merely a reluctant decision. On the day of their divorce, his friends celebrated for him. In the lively atmosphere of the private room, the cold yet noble man didn't utter a word. With his legs crossed and fingertips glowing with a scarlet light, his expression was obscured by the swirling smoke, his mood impenetrable to others. And nobody knew that after Su Wan left, there were countless sleepless nights when Gu Nanzhou sat in her room, his fingers holding the divorce agreement turning white with tension. Later, at a banquet, Gu Nanzhou cornered Su Wan in a dimly lit corner. The man's eyes were slightly red, his voice low and hoarse, his usually indifferent and serene face now showing an unprecedented disarray, almost begging the person in his arms. "Wanwan, please don't divorce me, okay?"

Adrian had found himself in another world while he was celebrating passing his final exam. He was brought to the world of Arcadia in a war against the thing known as the "Great Calamity" that was going to destroy the world for the outer gods. However, Adrian hated the world there. Why? Well, it was because of the primitive technology they had. There weren't even any good toilets! However, as he was fighting the "Great Calamity" it tried to kill itself. Thinking quickly Adrian used the spell he was working on to go home. The spell itself was a success but once he got home he was dragged into the supernatural world through an incident. Now he was forced to attend the Magic Academy of Evergarden. But that wasn't the only thing that was a problem. It seems that the so-called "Great Calamity" was somehow bound with his soul.

Between the howls and wails, the screams and cries of women being raped, and the villagers being eaten and butchered like cattle, there was a middle-aged man who was desperately running away while yelling his lungs out. ''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition. As for where he was running to... It didn't matter... He just wanted to flee the hellish scene that was unfolding behind him. His remote village, the one he had lived in his entire life, was now a fiery beacon illuminating the night. ''Whyyyyy areeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu runninnnnnnnnnnng awwaaayyyy froooooom usssssssss?'' Terrifying low growls and voices could be perceived behind him, and every time he heard them, his body released adrenaline to try to override its limits, but to no avail as his injuries were just too severe. The humanoid creatures pursuing him were like shadows, barely distinguishable through the cover of the night. Their eyes, akin to black holes, were fixed on their prey as it struggled for its pathetic life. Their faint and sinister giggles kept reverberating through the darkness... *** As blood rushed up his throat and leaked at the corners of his mouth, his sinister appearance aggravated to where he resembled a devil. During his maniacal laugh, his punctured lungs had finally given out, causing his whole body to collapse on the ground and dyeing it a scarlet shade. His mind went blank, while his consciousness left his battered body. *** After what appeared to be a few minutes, he suddenly woke up. He was startled at first, but he soon realized that he had indeed died. Everything around him was black, without an ounce of life in sight. He was basically a spirit floating in the absolute void. ''So this is what happens when you die... You just drift in darkness... That's actually underwhelming. I wonder if I'll just fade away'' When Derrick's thoughts started to drift, a prompt appeared in front of him. [Welcome to System Nemesis, Derrick Tarlin] [Would you like to seek revenge? Yes/No]
