Il a vécu toute sa vie plein de regrets et de haine. Sachant que ses jours ne s'amélioreraient pas au fil du temps, il a choisi de devenir réalisateur de films pour adultes, où il a pu voir les choses de près et gagner grassement sa vie pour son professionnalisme. (Il ne pouvait pas bander, donc pas de bizarreries sur le plateau... Lol) Puis il a été tué, et son âme a été aspirée dans le royaume de la Haine et du Ressentiment. Tout a changé pour lui à partir de là. Il a reçu une Tour d'Héritage de Grade Céleste, qui lui a donné accès à un Système de Harem Surpuissant. Il a également reçu un corps avantageux avec une verge divine de 22 cm. Mais cela n'était pas gratuit... Il s'est vu assigner une mission consistant à tuer le dieu de l'alchimie par la déesse de la haine et du ressentiment. Bien sûr, il doit faire de la déesse le premier membre de son harem comme condition pour son premier défi. Après une année entière de sexe et de plaisir, il a réalisé son souhait. Puis, il a été envoyé pour commencer son voyage en tant que cultivateur avec un système de harem et deux compétences de rang SSS. Avec des femmes attendant son sauvetage et une déesse qui exauce chacun de ses souhaits, Kent a commencé son voyage avec la verge divine qui serait utilisée pour rendre les femmes heureuses.

Am Tag ihrer Hochzeit mit ihrer Jugendliebe erhielt Natalie Ford ein unerwartetes Geschenk: eine Heiratsurkunde. Darin stand, dass sie bereits mit einem völlig Fremden verheiratet war - Aiden Handrix. Während die Hochzeitsgäste sie weiterhin verspotteten und beleidigten, beschloss ihr Geliebter Ivan, sie zu verlassen und stattdessen ihre Halbschwester Briena zu heiraten. Zu allem Übel wurde sie auch noch aus ihrem Haus geworfen. Um ihre Unschuld zu beweisen, gab es für Natalie Ford nur eine Möglichkeit: Sie musste diesen mysteriösen Aiden Handrix finden und der Sache auf den Grund gehen! Am nächsten Tag gab es eine Neuigkeit im Fernsehen. Justine Harper, die Erbin der reichsten Familie in Bayford, kehrte nach Hause zurück. Natalies Augen verengten sich auf dem Fernsehbildschirm. Warum sieht dieser Mann genauso aus wie der Mann auf dem Bild meiner Hochzeitsurkunde? Auf der Suche nach dem Geheimnis ihrer besagten Hochzeit beschloss sie, ihm zu folgen und ihn persönlich zu fragen. "Sind Sie verheiratet?" "Nein." "Hast du einen Zwillingsbruder?" "Nein?" "Haben Sie zufällig den Namen Aiden Handrix gehört?" "Nein." "Wer zum Teufel bist du dann? "Dein Bruder." "Warte, was?" "Ja. Jetzt pack deine Sachen und komm mit mir nach Hause." Erst bekam sie aus heiterem Himmel einen Ehemann und jetzt einen Bruder mit demselben Gesicht? Hatte Gott Klone erschaffen und sie ihr mit unterschiedlichen Beziehungen angeboten?

Todo mundo: Eu não acho que conhecemos a mesma pessoa.

"The Demon Lords are bringers of destruction, and among them, I am the strongest." The Demon King has fallen, slain by the Hero in a battle that shook the heavens. After this, humanity knew a long era of peace and prosperity, with the hero now at the top of the world. Fifty years after the battle, the demon race is resurfacing, but now with the throne empty, they must fight for the emergence of the new Demon King. Meanwhile, the humans are preparing for the rise of the next hero who will oppose their archenemies. Born as a mere stable boy in a lower-class noble household, Bel has lived his life tending to the noble gardens, pruning roses for banquets he would never attend. He is nothing more than a lowly servant in a world ruled by noble bloodlines and magic. However, his fate changes when a demon attack devastates the household. As flames consume the estate, Bel is about to be executed in front of his master when their leader, a great demon, recognizes him as a member of a powerful species of monsters that had disappeared before the ascent of the previous Demon King. She calls him by his true name, awakening his true blood. The demon, intrigued by this discovery, decides to spare him out of curiosity and pity. Having learned about Bel’s true nature, his master, rather than executing him, chooses instead to bring him into the heart of his household, seeing in him an opportunity to elevate his family’s standing by binding a powerful being to his service. But power cannot be shackled forever, and among them, the one in Bel's blood is the most dangerous.

Um grupo de aventureiros improváveis, cada um com ambições e segredos sombrios, une-se em uma busca perigosa pelo lendário Fruto Infernal. Movidos por desejos pessoais – vingança, glória, redenção ou pura ganância –, eles enfrentam criaturas abomináveis, armadilhas ancestrais e os próprios demônios internos enquanto viajam por terras estrangeiras e ruínas esquecidas. Porém, sua jornada não passa despercebida. O Culto dos Susurros, uma seita enigmática que serve a um propósito desconhecido, move seus agentes nas sombras para impedi-los. Entre eles está Dajjal, um feiticeiro de rank elevado, cujo intelecto ardiloso e magia profana sempre o colocam um passo à frente do grupo, como se estivesse prevendo cada movimento. À medida que os laços entre os aventureiros são testados e os horrores do Culto se revelam, eles precisam decidir: o Fruto Infernal vale o preço de seus esforços ou vida? Ou serão apenas peças em um jogo muito maior, onde até a vitória pode ser uma condenação? Uma história de alianças frágeis, escolhas morais ambíguas e um mal que sussurra nos cantos mais escuros da mente.

En un mundo fracturado por una Guerra Santa ancestral, donde tres reinos divinos se reparten el planeta bajo sellos de frágil paz, la historia de Kaelen Silver es un canto desgarrador a la venganza, el sacrificio y el precio del poder. Tomas Silver, un esclavo convertido en asesino, logra escapar de la sombra de la Orden de la Luna Sangrienta gracias a Alenya, una herborista que le devuelve la humanidad. Juntos forjan una vida sencilla, ocultos de un mundo dividido por los dioses. Pero su hijo Kaelen nace marcado por una maldición: su cuerpo absorbe la energía vital (Rei) del mundo, infligiéndole un dolor insoportable. Aunque Tomas lo protege con ferocidad, el destino es cruel: Alenya muere a manos de la Orden de la Luna Sangrienta, y años después, los Cinco Grandes Clanes -marionetas de demonios ocultos- asesinan a Tomas, dejando a Kaelen solo, roto y hambriento de venganza. Kaelen no es un héroe. Es un superviviente astuto y despiadado que, tras décadas de cazar a los clanes que destruyeron su familia, fracasa en su último intento. Capturado y sacrificado en un ritual grotesco, su muerte no es el fin: un demonio ancestral le ofrece un trato perverso. «Vuelve al pasado. Salva a tus padres. Destruye los sellos que dividen el mundo... y desata el Infierno». Al despertar como un bebé en los brazos de sus padres, Kaelen guarda la memoria de su vida anterior. Pero el camino no es simple: para romper los sellos que mantienen a raya a ángeles, demonios y la Alianza de Razas, necesitará corazones de descendientes de héroes, arcángeles y reyes demoníacos. ¿Hasta dónde llegará para reescribir su destino? ¿Se convertirá en el peón de fuerzas mayores, o desafiará incluso a los dioses que manipulan Ethalios desde las sombras?

1. Todos sabem que o alfa mais poderoso no mundo dos lobisomens é Harrison. Existem muitas lendas sobre ele. Uma das coisas mais misteriosas é que ele nunca anunciou sua Luna. Por seis anos, ele não falou sobre sua companheira, e nenhuma mulher poderia se aproximar dele. 2. Seis anos depois, Kayla retornou à cidade onde morava. Em um encontro, Harrison, com os olhos vermelhos e voz rouca, a pressionou contra a parede e disse, “Você acha que suas lágrimas ainda funcionam para mim?” Kayla olhou para baixo e não falou. De repente, uma voz infantil nítida soou. “Mamãe, o que você está fazendo aqui?” Olhando para a pequena garota, suas pupilas se contraíram. “Esta é sua filha?” Ele perguntou. 3. “Então você terminou com o pai? Ele te teve e te abandonou com sua filha?” Harrison jogou seu charuto no cinzeiro, os cantos da boca tremendo de raiva. “Diga-me quem é o pai e eu farei ele pagar.” Kayla olhou para o homem que ela tinha saudades por seis anos. Ela não sabia como dizer a ele que ele era o pai.

[Mature Content] 1# To Love a Vampire. A marriage to cure a curse. An unwilling bride. When the first Prince of Vampires asks for her hand in marriage, Bel is repulsed by this and vehemently refuses. She always imagined her husband would be like her sister’s. A handsome man who shares similar interests with her. He doesn’t need to be royalty. All that matters is that they were in love. Davien got the handsome part down but unfortunately, nothing else. To top it all, he is a vampire. However, she won’t have minded his terrible traits if she loves him but she doesn’t, and neither does he love her. When her father says she has no option but to marry him, Bel vows to do everything in her power to make Davien hate her. If she can’t stop him from marrying her, she can at least make him end the marriage. She will be the worst bride ever. But what happens when Davien can handle her antics and shows nothing but love to her regardless of what she does? 2# To Want a Vampire A girl who won’t speak—or perhaps can’t—only shaking in terror but the scars on her body tell Stelian everything he needs to know about the horrors she’s endured. For Mallory, life has never been kind. Her mother’s death at age thirteen marked the start of her descent into further darkness. Two years later, her father would sell her to vampires, condemning her to unspeakable torment. After three grueling years, Mallory escapes, only to fall into the hands of vampires once again. But this time, she encounters someone different—someone without the red eyes she has come to loathe. Yet, when she learns that he too craves blood, just like those who shattered her body, spirit, and soul, Mallory must confront her deepest fears. Can she open herself to him, or will he become yet another nightmare in her endless cycle of suffering? (I’m taking a break to focus on my new book but will be back in the future.)

What happens when yesterday becomes the tomorrow we see today? So the favorite saying in Bel Haven goes. The breakthrough of Elixa was one that mankind has never seen. It was able to merge the past, present, and future and bring people back to life, for a second or third time, but not permanently. But in Damian's case, the opposite was in play. He had lost his parents and granny and his brother too. Their deaths were not his fault, but Damian had blamed himself all the days of his life. Some said it was because of his family heirloom, others believed that he was just unlucky. But the fact was that Damian was a Silverton. The Silverton was a rare species that is neither alive nor dead. They were the force that regulates the timeline and prevents the Darkeels from coming into the present. However, Claudius, a scientist who invented Elixa, having lost his daughter, wanted eternal life. But to achieve his goal, he needed three items. The tooth of a Darkeel, the blood of a Silverton, and the staff of Jethro. Damian wants to see his family again, but for that to happen, he must work with Claudius and also kill himself willingly.

Whereas Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading it or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of this great epic to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds. Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike. Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, this epic was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.” On a personal note, my paternal grandfather, Bulusu Thimmaiah-garu, like many in his time, was a life-long practitioner of Sundara Kãnda parayana (the epic’s daily recital in part or full), whose spirituality could have providentially guided me in this, rather an effortless, trans-creative endeavour.
