Deprived

Aidan Pierce was the heir to the Pierce dynasty and grew up under the weight of authority and prestige. One of the most strong business empires in the city. But his life deteriorated when his cunning and cruel uncle, Victor Pierce, hatched a coup, painting Aidan as a charlatan and sloppy. Deprived of his legacy, banished overnight, Aidan was sent into the shadows, bearing the weight of treachery and the death of everyone he loved. Aidan is left with a difficult choice when a dark shadow from his past appears with evidence aimed to permanently destroy Victor once and for once. Believing this new buddy could mean giving up all he has rebuilt, but waiting could cost him his chance at success. Discovering a dreadful truth—that Victor pretended Aidan's mother died in order to seize control—and that she has been alive, imprisoned all these years strains Aidan's will even more. This revelation shakes Aidan to his core and also fuels his will with a fresh, very personal intensity. The narrative culminates when Aidan schemes a dramatic public exposure of Victor's network of crime, revealing the involvement of his uncle in armaments trafficking and money laundering. The plan is audacious and full of risks; it culminates in a dramatic press conference that might literally save the city. As success seems almost within reach, Victor acts desperately last-minute. His attempt to leave sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation determining the Pierce legacy inheritability. Topics of treachery, atonement, and the cost of power entwine over Reclaimed Crown to emphasize the difficult balance Aidan must find between justice and retribution. Every chapter is suspenseful, taking readers farther into a world in which loyalty is a frail idea and trust can be the most deadly weapon of all. Standing on the balcony of the Pierce Corp tower, Aidan understands this is only the beginning as he sees the city that now whispers his name in both amazement and caution. The struggle to keep the crown—against both apparent and invisible enemies—has just begun, even if it may be snatched again.

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

In a realm where folks wielded unique "Goldfingers," fonts of magical prowess, Lucas Evercrest remained blissfully unaware of his own exceptional potential. Little did he fathom that he harbored this incredible power deep within, an untapped wellspring. While others soared to grand heights, Lucas inadvertently subdued his Goldfinger, leaving him stranded at the humbling level 1, watching as his peers flourished. One fateful night, enveloped in the haze of sleep deprivation, our unsuspecting protagonist's world shifted. Battling to embrace slumber's embrace, he carelessly brushed against the "Mute Notifications" icon on his Goldfinger's interface before drifting into dreams' embrace. Seasons swept by like leaves on the wind, and there he stood, drowning sorrows in whiskey's amber embrace and endless loaves of bread, mourning an elusive system he believed had passed him by. Amid the din of a bar, laughter rippled like an unsteady melody. Echoes of "Status Open" danced in the air, chanted by playful kids, each repetition a chorus of mockery. Weariness pressed his head against the bar's cool surface, a failed shield against the jeers and japes. "Status Open, Status Open, Status Open," he muttered, lips grazing the wood, words coated in a blend of irony and irritation. And then, as if summoned by this weary incantation, a radiant cerulean window materialized before him. Within its luminescence, Lucas Evercrest's identity flickered, inscribed alongside his meager statistics: "[Lucas Evercrest], [Level 1 [^], Job: Starter], [HP: 1220, MP: 123], [Str:84, Agi:93, Int:43, Ins:23, Wis:53, Def:32, Sta:45, Dex:32, Con: 122]." Details unfurled like a tapestry, revealing a mosaic of attributes. His handiwork, etched in the fabric of his being, began to come to light. The window whispered of abilities and names, secrets shrouded in cryptic notation: "[Abilities: Open to show more.], [Titles: Open to show more.]" Yet even amidst this revelation, a sobering truth lingered – his status, labeled "Intoxicated," stood as a stark reminder of his present condition. Experience, captured within the confines of "EXP: 100/100," hinted at untapped potential, awaiting the spark of realization. An "Inventory" beckoned, promising more to explore, yet the ever-watchful "Missed Notifications" count of "99+" bore the mark of silence, a testament to a bygone era when his Goldfinger's voice remained muted. And so, in the quiet hum of the bar, amidst the ebb and flow of laughter and life, Lucas Evercrest's journey unfurled anew. The forgotten Goldfinger, once stifled by his own inadvertence, stood poised to rewrite his destiny, as he grasped the reigns of his dormant power, eager to ascend beyond the confines of level 1 and embrace the legacy that had patiently awaited his awakening. *This synopsis was written by someone else who wishes to remain Anonymous, thank you to who did it.* *Title is pending for the cover.*

“Honey, look! The man on TV is as handsome as you!” Luo Youyou shouted in surprise as she held a bowl of fried noodles. After all, the chance of seeing a man as handsome as one’s own husband was extremely rare, right? Li Guihan held his forehead and shrugged. He used a tissue to wipe his wife’s face and asked, “Are you sure he looks like me?” “No way! He even has the same name as you!” Luo Youyou exclaimed, her mouth in an ‘o’ shape. Luo Youyou’s father never loved her since she was young. She was a pitiful child who was always picked on by the other children. When she grew up, her best friend betrayed her, depriving her of her fiance. Shortly after her mother died, her father used her money and married another wife. What shocked Luo Youyou the most was that the woman was her best friend’s mother! Her best friend was also her half-sister! As Luo Youyou felt her world collapsing, it was Li Guihan who gave her a home. She was satisfied with her life. She thought she worked hard to support their household, and felt very accomplished. She was the main breadwinner in their house! She had someone who actually needed her! But now, her husband whom she thought relied on her for a living had suddenly changed…Luo Youyou looked at her husband in disbelief. “How much money do you actually have?” Li Guihan cleared his throat, his eyes filled with doting love. “Not much, but more than enough for you to travel all over the world!” Luo Youyou: “!”

Born as a prince, many people would think that Kieran Wynter had the perfect life, but it was actually the opposite. Tariona, a world where Magic reigned supreme, and could be used in the form of the eight Elements, Kieran was born without a mana core; a core used to store the Energy required to use Magic, and that meant that he couldn't use Magic. Because of this, his father, the King, changed his attitude towards him, and his mother. His mother was blamed for giving birth to a failure, and an insignificant being. While growing up, he was mentally and physically abused by his father, and even the children of other nobles. Though, all his pains would disappear anytime he was with Lyra, his mother, the Queen, the only person who cherished him, and never left his side.

In a world called Oasis, society has achieved a state of perfect harmony with nature. The inhabitants, known as the Selenes, live in symbiosis with their lush environment, an ecosystem where every living being, from the smallest insect to the tallest tree, is respected and cherished. Resources are abundant, and no one suffers from need or deprivation. The Selenes have chosen a way of life based on individual autonomy, where each person is free to pursue their passions and forge their own path without the influence of prophecies or predetermined destinies. The society of the Selenes is strictly secular, founded on reason, science, and cooperation. Religious myths and mystical beliefs have long been forgotten, seen as relics of a bygone era. Every individual is respected for their uniqueness, and no form of mental manipulation or psychological oppression exists. Freedom of thought is sacred, and the Selenes value mental integrity and independence above all. However, this ideal society is on the verge of being disrupted. A mysterious group of individuals, known as the Awakeners, begins spreading strange ideas within the communities. They speak of shared dreams, inexplicable visions, and an ancient force that is about to return. They claim that an Eclipse is approaching, a cosmic disturbance that could break the perfect balance of Oasis and bring back elements that society thought were long gone: prophecies, messianic figures, and the temptation of power. The story follows Lyra, a young botanist passionate about her work, whose peaceful life is shaken when she starts having disturbing dreams, similar to those described by the Awakeners. Gradually, Lyra finds herself drawn into a quest to uncover the truth behind these dreams and the foretold Eclipse. Should she ignore these visions and preserve her society's harmony, or accept their reality and risk disrupting the precious balance of Oasis? Throughout her journey, Lyra encounters other characters who, like her, begin to doubt the perfect world they live in. Together, they must face complex moral dilemmas: maintain individual freedom at all costs, or accept a shared destiny that could lead to a new era of belief and power? Eclipse of Harmony explores the tensions between autonomy and community, between reason and faith, and questions the true nature of freedom in a world that seems perfect but may hide much darker secrets.

"My dear baby, look at what time it's; hurry up, or else we will be late." She answered back as she gulped some milk before glancing at the watch on her wrist. " Mother..." He pouted his lips sulking, he was spoilt and pampered the most among the three of them. " All right, all right.. stop whining and come over here.." he was the youngest one and his health has been complicated since birth since they were born prematurely, and had spent rather a better amount of time in the hospital that's why his health wasn't favorable. She lightly tapped on the vacant dining chair next to hers signaling him to shift over to get closer. Su Tang hastily climbed off his chair scurried over to the said chair and settled down beside his mother eying her either his puppy eyes that were adorably blinking, Su Mao bent over and carefully pecked his cheeks adoringly. "I love you, momma, you are the best." He cheered up before he heartily began having his breakfast. He had a special diet that was specifically meant for him due to health complications. "Mother.. you are being biased, this is total biasness you are doing momma.." Su Ting pouted her lips feeling aggrieved as her cheeks puffed out, why couldn't she also receive her kisses this early morning? they were all her babies, right? "Finish up first then I will give you a big one inside the car... Didn't you just say you are getting late?" She smiled brushing her off, she might be pouting and whining her lips but she was a deadly snake hiding in that childish face of hers. But deep down in her heart she knew that she had been treating them all equally, it's just that Su Tang was a bit dependent on her. "Humph..!" She grunted coldly ignoring her mother as she took her breakfast. They finished up before getting inside a low-key Mercedes Benz which had tinted glasses, and the body was painted black. She softly mumbled out while buckling her safety belt. "Rule number one" "Fasten the safety belt.." They echoed all together in response while doing exactly what they were supposed to. They hurriedly fastened their safety belts, Su Ting always sat on the passenger's seat while the boys sat down in the backseat. "Rule number two" Su Mao was done fastening her safety belt and now, she had switched the engine on. "Greet people in the car..." They echoed together as they began greeting themselves shaking hands. "It's good to have manners and greet your elders when possible so long as they respect you...." Su Mao never pressured them in any way, she gave them freedom, and at the same time, she let them be children as she never got to do that in her life. It was the most important phase in a child's life, she wouldn't deprive them of that. "Rule number three..." Su Mao twisted her head glancing at the boys in the back eying them, sometimes they were mischievous. "Geezzz mommy.. we have outgrown those rules, we are already so grown and big gentlemen...." Su Tong retorted back irritated, they were already this old but their mother treated them like one-year-old babies they were twelve years ago. ***************** Su Mao had just managed to occupy the Su company Presidential seat when she received a call from her half-sister... When she heard her voice, she understood that wherever she was, didn't have much time, thus she went over with the direction she had given her. Arriving there, her half-sister was on the brink of death and she had given birth to triplets... From being the Su company President to suddenly being a mom of triplets, with the sudden emergency, she had to make decisions... She was a young mom of three kids because she made a promise, but what kind of life awaits her? How would she manage to live her life fully after being driven out of the Su family and mansion?

The man pleaded to her for mercy he said, "Please give me a chance. I wouldn't betray you again." Crystal closed the book in her lap and leaned towards the man and said, "Can you take away the pain my Harry is suffering from right now." The man cried loudly and pleaded for mercy again and again. Crystal was annoyed by his loud voice. She looked at Jade. Its black fur was shining in the sunlight. She asked, "Jade are you hungry?" Jade let out a roar and stood up elegantly. Jade took two steps back and jumped towards the man. She removed the man's hand in one bite. The man was eaten alive by the big black cat. There wasn't a sign of remorse on Crystal's face. After Jade was full she called servants to clean after her and Jade walked towards Crystal and laid down beside her leg and Crystal continued stroking its fur.

In the year 2852, within the fourth district of the Underbelly of Silver city, humanity’s fragile existence faced its darkest hour. The first mass outbreak of Parasite infections in over 80 years took place. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the cobbled streets, the air thickened with tension.
