Suami Dengan Keuntungan

Nora hancur sebulan sebelum pernikahannya ketika ia menemukan perselingkuhan licik tunangannya. Saat ia mengelola pengkhianatan ini, ia menemukan sebuah komplotan mendalam untuk menghalangi dia dari mengklaim hak warisnya. Hancur tapi bertekad, Nora mengambil langkah berani untuk mengambil kembali kontrol atas hidupnya. Masuklah Demetri 'Setan' bagi mereka yang mengenalnya, seorang pria tangguh yang hampir tidak dikenalnya, yang menawarkan perlindungan dan dukungan sebagai imbalan atas pernikahan kontrak untuk memuaskannya. Dalam liku nasib, Nora menikah dengan Demetri untuk mengklaim warisannya dan melawan mereka yang berkomplot melawannya. Tapi saat dia bertarung dengan keluarganya sendiri dan banyak rival Demetri, akankah dia bisa menjaga diri dari jatuh cinta pada pria yang dikenal dapat menghancurkan orang lain di bawah tumit sepatu botnya. Petikan: Dia telah melupakan bahwa pria itu menakutkan dan langsung menantangnya. Bukannya berbicara, Demetri bangkit dari kursinya dan mendekatinya dengan sengaja. Meskipun hanya beberapa langkah, waktu tampaknya berjalan lambat bagi Nora. Ketika dia hampir dalam jarak sentuh, tangannya dengan lembut mendarat di lututnya, menggesernya ke samping. Sentuhannya bergerak dengan sedikit belaian, dan dia melangkah di antara kaki terbuka Nora. Nora duduk diam terpaku, matanya terbelalak seperti rusa yang tertangkap lampu sorot. Menangkap dagunya dengan jarinya, dia menaikkan wajahnya ke atas dan berbicara dengan santai, "Kamu istriku." Dia mengangguk perlahan dalam afirmasi sementara ibu jarinya perlahan mengelus bibirnya. "Aku telah memberimu waktu untuk mengumpulkan emosimu." Anggukan lain. Kegugupan Nora membuatnya menjilat bibirnya, sangat menyadari tatapan intensnya yang terpaku pada mereka. "Alasanmu untuk pernikahan adalah untuk mengamankan warisanmu dan menjauh dari cengkeraman ibumu." "Ya..." Nora berbisik dengan bingung. Kebingungannya bukan tentang pernyataannya, tapi tentang sensasi membingungkan yang mengalir dalam dirinya. Ada apa dengan dirinya? "Saatnya bagi kamu untuk memenuhi bagianmu dari kontrak, ya?" Dia melanjutkan. "Ya," Nora berbisik tanpa napas. Mengapa dia tanpa napas? Apakah tingkat oksigen di rumah telah turun? Apakah udara tiba-tiba menjadi tipis? Tiba-tiba, tangannya meninggalkan wajahnya, dan dia menonton saat Demetri mendekat. Saat itulah Nora memahami apa yang sedang terjadi. Semua ciuman menggoda yang membuat jantung berdebar yang telah dia baca di novel-novel akan mungkin menjadi kenyataannya. Namun ciuman yang diantisipasi tidak terjadi. Sebaliknya, dia berhenti di dekatnya dan memerintah, "Cium aku."

Dicuri oleh Raja Pemberontak

Sebagai seorang putri yang tidak dapat menguasai sihir, satu-satunya nilai Putri Daphne bagi kerajaan adalah pernikahan yang telah diatur. Tugasnya sederhana, namun ketika Daphne diculik dan dibawa ke pegunungan dingin Vramid, ia menyadari bahwa ia sudah over her head. Ia pernah mendengar tentang pegunungan terkutuk ini sebelumnya ― medan berbatu, suhu beku, dan tanah ini diperintah oleh seorang pria yang banyak ditakuti orang di benua tersebut. Raja Atticus Heinvres, penguasa haus darah di Utara. Walaupun ia belum pernah bertemu dengannya sebelumnya, cerita tentang kekejaman Raja Atticus tersebar luas. Ada yang mengatakan dia adalah monster, yang lain menyatakan dia adalah iblis itu sendiri, tetapi apapun ceritanya, semua orang tahu tentang pria yang memiliki kekuatan di luar imajinasi siapapun. Dia bisa menggulingkan pasukan dan menghancurkan negara hanya dengan melambai tangannya sekali, didukung oleh apa yang dikabarkan sebagai cincin obsidian terkutuk. Tidak ada seorang pun di luar Vramid yang pernah bertemu raja yang ditakuti itu sebelumnya. Tidak sampai Daphne. Namun, ketika bertemu dengan pria hebat itu, Daphne mengetahui bahwa raja mungkin tidak benar-benar menjadi monster seperti yang diklaim orang lain. Bahkan, apa yang tersembunyi di bawah perisai obsidian itu mungkin saja berlian yang belum dipoles. ― [Petikan] “Sekarang... di mana sebaiknya aku letakkan kalian berdua?” dia bertanya dengan santai, tanpa mengharapkan jawaban. “Sayang sekali aku hanya memiliki satu chandelier.” “Di bawah tempat tidurku? Tidak, tidak, terlalu kotor. Boneka debu kesayanganku tidak pantas mendapat ini,” gumam Atikus pada dirinya sendiri. “Di atas perapian? Bagaimana dengan meja rias? Mungkin jika aku memotong salah satu kepala kalian, aku bisa pasang di atas... Istri, kepala mana yang ingin kamu lihat saat kamu menyisir rambutmu?” “Atikus!” Daphne berteriak. “Aku tidak ingin ada kepala! Lepaskan mereka.” “Baiklah.” Atikus mengangkat bahu, dan menggerakkan jarinya. Ada dua suara retakan yang identik saat kedua leher patah secara bersamaan. Daphne menarik napas, terkejut. Pria ini, suaminya, baru saja membunuh dua orang dengan sekali flick jari, seolah dia sedang memadamkan lilin. “Aku bilang lepaskan mereka!” Daphne berteriak lagi. “Iya, aku telah melepaskan mereka,” kata Atikus. Kemudian, matanya menggelap. “Untuk menerima penghakiman ilahi dari langit.” ― Server Discord: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

Lout of the Count’s Family - (Part-I)

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This is an unofficial translation of the novel "Lout of Count's Family."

Weltenreiter Teil 1 - fällt er in den Graben, fressen ihn die Raben

Das Leben ist nicht immer leicht. Vor allem nicht als depressive Abiturientin, mit Narben im Gesicht. Dabei wünscht sich Hope Reuther einfach nur ein normales Leben. Sie wusste ja schon immer, dass mit ihr etwas nicht stimmt. Noch dazu macht sie trotz ihrer bitteren Vergangenheit, ihr Abitur ein Jahr zu früh. Was die Sache mit dem normalen Leben noch ein bisschen komplizierter macht. Da Hope jedoch sowieso von den meisten gemieden wird, weil sie weder die Kapuze ihres schwarzen Hoodies noch ihre Handschuhe jemals ablegt, hatte sie sich da eigentlich eh schon keine allzu großen Hoffnungen gemacht. Zudem lässt sie die Tatsache, dass ihr einziger Freund ein paranoider Rabe ist, der ihr folgt und sie pausenlos vollquatscht, zunehmend an ihrer Zurechnungsfähigkeit zweifeln. Als ihr Lehrer ihr dann auch freudig eröffnet, dass sie das beste Abitur des Jahrgangs geschrieben haben soll und ihr von einer ominösen Organisation namens "WELTENREITER" ein Stipendium angeboten wird, würde Hope am liebsten schreiend (oder kotzend?) davonlaufen. Doch einer der angeblichen Studenten, die sie rekrutieren sollen, scheint viel mehr zu wissen, als er preisgeben mag. Der weißhaarige Fremde mit den silbernen Augen, der zu allem Überfluss auch noch Night heißt, ist so weit von Normalität entfernt, dass es fast schon wehtut. Und gerade als Hope denkt, es könnte nicht noch schlimmer werden, ist bereits völliges Chaos ausgebrochen und ihr Leben total auf den Kopf gestellt. Sprechende Raben, apokalyptische Reiter, das biblische Ende aller Welten... und ein Zurück erscheint unmöglich...
