Still Alice

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Syan’s life began with a cruel twist—an incurable illness that stole his sight as a child and later his ability to move, leaving him trapped in a body that no longer obeyed him. Abandoned by his parents and forgotten by the world, he existed in darkness and silence, a shadow among the living. But in his younger sister, Lila, he found a flickering light—a reason to endure. This is a story of resilience, love, and the quiet strength that binds two souls against all odds.

Angel Johnson was a waitress struggling to make ends meet when an unexpected contract with Tryson Bliss, one of City Y's most powerful and ruthless billionaires, changed everything. Tryson needed a fiancée to appease his demanding family, and Angel, desperate for money and a way out of her humdrum life, agreed to play the part. What began as a calculated arrangement soon evolved into something neither of them expected—an intense and forbidden connection. But when Tryson's family uncovers Angel's true motives, they cast her out with venomous disdain. Humiliated and heartbroken, Angel's last hope is confronting Tryson. But instead of an apology or a chance at redemption, she finds herself shattered when he declares that he has chosen his first love, Riley, the woman he was preparing to marry. Devastated and with only her pride left, Angel walks away, determined to rebuild her life alone. Two months later, Angel is lost in the pulse of the music at a dark, crowded bar, seeking refuge in anonymity. A hand seizes her from behind, and her breath catches as she turns to face the man she can't forget—Tryson. His eyes, once cold and calculating, are now stormy with raw emotion, and he pulls her into his orbit, holding out the contract she once signed.  "We haven't finished our work, Angel. The contract says you have a year left to be my fiancée. Don't tell me you're planning on breaching it now." With no choice but to comply, Angel moves back into the house that once rejected her. But to her surprise, the family she once loathed now welcomes her with unexpected warmth and kindness. As she navigates this unsettling shift, Angel is left to wonder—what has changed, and why? What secrets do they hide that could alter everything she thought she knew about Tryson and his family? And as Angel's heart begins to thaw, she's confronted with the hardest question of all: Can she keep the secrets she's hidden from Tryson? And will Tryson fight for her love a second time, despite everything that has come between them?

They say a girl’s first love is her father. But what happens when that love is just a void? When the space he should have filled becomes an ache you carry like a scar? I grew up searching for him — in the eyes of every man I met, in friendships that drained me, in relationships that promised forever but slipped away. I wore my heart like an apology, hoping someone might see the emptiness inside me and choose to stay anyway. And every time they left, I blamed myself, quietly wondering if I was too broken to be loved. I wrote about it in my journal, words spilling out like confessions I couldn’t say out loud: I searched for you in every face, A ghost I could never touch. I watered my wounds with hope, But you never bloomed. Still, I kept loving — Not to find you, But to find myself. But this story isn’t just about absence. It’s about discovery. About the love I thought I didn’t deserve, and the man who showed me that even the most shattered hearts can learn to beat again. This is the story of how I lost myself, how I pieced myself back together, and how love finally found me — not as a replacement, but as a reminder that I was whole all along

An unforgettable tale of love, betrayal, resilience, and redemption, this story takes you on an emotional journey through the highs and lows of relationships. With compelling drama and deep inspiration, it’s a must-read for anyone who appreciates powerful and heartfelt storytelling.

I was nothing but a mindless, rotting corpse, shuffling through the darkness—until a party of adventurers cut me down. That should have been the end. But instead of eternal rest, I woke up in the body of a noble. Fancy clothes, a sprawling estate, and servants calling me "Young Master." Sounds like a dream, right? There’s just one problem… I still have zombie instincts. Table manners? A nightmare. Holding a conversation? Harder than dodging a fireball. And apparently, calling the meat "too fresh" makes people really uncomfortable. Just as I start adjusting to this bizarre second life, my battle-hardened siblings return with unsettling news—monsters acting strangely, whispers of an ancient hunger awakening. And when I take my first bite of monster meat, I realize something terrifying: My hunger isn’t fading. It’s only growing. But the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes—this hunger isn’t just mine. The Tower is waiting. The heavens are watching. And hell is ready to welcome me.

The world we know is gone. Humans, with great display of power and hubris have challenged both Heaven and Hell using their own powers that have been harnessed into scientific marvels and horrors and made Earth their battleground. This event was then affectionately monikered as the "Ragnarok"- a series of events and catastrophes that will ultimately lead to the end of the world. Continents and tectonic plates shift as the war's effects slowly changed the world's topography. The Old Earth's countries are gone; merged into new, twisted, and warped nations that have become the result of Ragnarok. Not only humans roam this earth anymore. Accursed demons, anthropomorphic beasts, and even nature is a double-edged blade. Almost everything is hostile and life-threatening, but not impossible to traverse. One just has to be smart and resourceful.

Josh Anderson was once an ordinary boy who only wanted a peaceful life with his mother. But peace was a luxury he could never afford under the rule of his tyrannical father, Marcus Anderson. Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed. After years of enduring Marcus’s abuse, Mary was finally pushed too far—beaten unconscious in front of her sister, Jane Rocky, and her own son. Rushed to the hospital, she never woke up. The news of her death shattered Josh’s world. His mother—his protector, his source of warmth—was gone. And the one responsible? The man who called himself his father. At his mother’s funeral, standing before a crowd of mourners, Josh made a choice that would change his life forever. He was no longer Josh Anderson. That name had died with his mother. From that moment on, he became Josh Rocky, a boy with no room left for love or sympathy. And as Marcus Anderson fled the country to escape justice, Josh vowed that one day, he would hunt him down and make him pay. Ten years later… The once-fragile boy has become a cold, ruthless man—the CEO of Rocky Jewelries Company, one of the most powerful jewelry empires in the country. Feared by employees and competitors alike, Josh Rocky is known as "Sir Grumpy"—a man who fires employees without hesitation, shows no mercy to rivals, and views kindness as a weakness. To him, emotions are nothing but obstacles. Love? It’s a lie. Sympathy? It’s a weakness. Family? It’s a myth. Will Josh remain the ruthless man he’s become, or will the ghosts of his past force him to confront the emotions he buried long ago?

I have been into the latest tech hacks that promise to make life easier, so when a TikTok video highlighted in front of my eyes told me about a 'foolproof' way to enhance crypto security using a rather unknown wallet app, I was intrigued. I saw so many people in the comments saying it was seamless and super secure, I thought, why not give this a go? After all, security is everything in crypto. At first, everything was going perfect: intuitive interface and all; I had even managed to transfer my $150,000 worth of Bitcoin into it without a problem. But that's where my luck ran out. A week later, an automatic app update rolled in, and my login credentials were there no more-completely wiped. No password worked, no seed phrase was recognized, and my funds were trapped in a digital void. WhatsApp info:+12 723  328 343 Panic set in immediately. I scoured the forums, tech blogs, and the app's support page; nothing worked. The same TikTok video that convinced me to download the app never mentioned a word about how to recover an account that became lost. Annoyed and desperate for help, I returned to the comments on TikTok in search of someone having experienced the very same problem. That is where I saw multiple users recommending ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST as the go-to solution for crypto wallet mishaps. Skeptical but out of options, I decided to reach out. From the very first interaction, his team reassured me that I was not the first person to fall for a "too-good-to-be-true" tech hack. The confidence and professionalism put me at ease, and they got to work quickly. The process was meticulous, methodical, and above all, effective. Website info: https://adwarerecoveryspecialist. com  Of course, within several days, they cracked the issue and restored access to me. To see my $150,000 back in my control was simply indescribable. Moreover, beyond this recovery itself, they gave me something even much more valuable-knowledge. First, they have explained the risk of unverified wallet apps: how automatic update sometimes compromises credentials stored in their memory. Secondly, they assisted in implementing a more reliable security system so as not to allow the same mistake to happen with me again.
