Um escárnio saiu dos meus lábios antes que eu pudesse me conter. "O que você acabou de dizer?" perguntei, meu olhar movendo-se de um Alfa para o próximo. "Vocês querem que eu me mude para morar com vocês?" questionei para me certificar de que tinha ouvido corretamente. "Sim." Thatcher deu um passo mais perto, mas eu dei dois passos para trás, criando mais distância entre nós. "Nós queremos você," Logan declarou, seus olhos ardendo com intensa necessidade. "Sim," Julian se juntou. "Também vamos protegê-la; garantiremos que nenhum mal aconteça com você. Por favor, nos dê uma chance," eles imploraram. Eles estão falando sério? Isso é algum tipo de piada? Como ousam fazer tais exigências depois da forma como me machucaram e me humilharam na frente de todos? Não, não vou escutá-los; não vou cair em suas armadilhas uma segunda vez. Vou rejeitar o vínculo de companheiro entre nós e cortar qualquer conexão que possamos ter. Depois de tomar minha decisão, abri a boca e comecei a recitar as palavras que nunca imaginei que diria. "Eu, Linnea da Alcateia da Águia Branca, rejeito vocês..." Mas nunca tive a chance de terminar. Minha mente e corpo inesperadamente entraram em colapso, e me vi desmaiando. Antes que pudesse cair no chão, senti um par de braços fortes — não, não apenas um par, mas três pares — me segurando, impedindo imediatamente minha queda. *** Prólogo Devido à feiura de Linnea, ninguém queria se associar a ela; sua pele estava enrugada e ressecada, fazendo-a parecer uma avó moribunda de noventa anos. Mas ela era realmente feia? Desde os sete anos de idade, Linnea tomava um elixir destinado a impedi-la de envelhecer rapidamente, mas, em vez disso, o elixir fez exatamente o oposto do que deveria fazer. Ressecou-a e a fez parecer bastante feia. Quando Linnea descobriu a verdade por trás do elixir, confrontou sua mãe, que o havia dado a ela. Sua mãe chorou e pediu que ela continuasse tomando o elixir, alegando: "Essa é a única maneira de eu continuar casada com o Beta Benjamin; você não deve ofuscar a filha dele. Ele nos expulsará se você irritar a filha dele." Depois de descobrir a verdade, Linnea ficou amarga, e seu ódio pela filha do Beta Benjamin, Madison, cresceu. Linnea engoliu sua raiva e jurou deixar sua mãe assim que completasse dezoito anos. Seu aniversário de dezoito anos chegou, e Linnea se preparou para deixar a alcateia, mas, ao sair, descobriu o maior choque de sua vida. Seu companheiro predestinado era na verdade o amante de Madison — um dos Alfas trigêmeos. Linnea pensou que terminaria aí, mas experimentou um choque ainda maior quando percebeu que os dois trigêmeos restantes também eram seus parceiros. Como isso poderia ser? Como ela acabou com três parceiros? O que aconteceu?!

Kaleo Ail, an illegal miner from Africa is buried alive inside the mine after the mine collapses due to an earthquake. He tries to dig himself out but a series of phenomena occur and he finds himself trapped in an unknown place, a place where one can literally smell death through the air, a place that doesn’t allow any light to exist in its presence, a place that doesn’t allow life to flourish, a place of absolute darkness.

He also finds out that he has been buried for a hundred thousand years in human time.

A boy ends up attacked in the woods...then his life changes forever. What do you do when you find out that the world as you have always known it, is just a mask.

In a world where spirits walk among humans, their presence is a fact of life-and death. Most people can see them. The strongest can fight them. But only one person is completely blind to them. Ryo Kisaragi was born without the ability to see spirits, a flaw that should have made him powerless. Yet, when an unseen force devours his city, he survives what no one else could. The Sentinels-one of many exorcist factions-take him in, but their interest isn't out of kindness. To them, Ryo is an anomaly. A mistake. A threat. Thrust into a brutal war between spirit-hunting factions and entities far beyond human comprehension.

The world changed when 500 million people went missing. Nobody knew where they went or what happened to them. Unknown to the public, on a ship lightyears away from earth, the missing 500 million people rested in large cylindrical pods cryogenically frozen. With the threat of a superpowered alien race on earth's tail, the world leaders came to an agreement. As humanity was now, it wouldn't stand a chance against the hostile race. It was time to start the long awaited Darwin project. This story follows Jack on his path of evolution, survival, and freedom. Because who cares about humanity when they kidnapped you and forced you to live in a deadly jungle full of monsters.

He promised love. He delivered chains. She thought she slipped through his grasp, but the whispers, the shadows, the eyes in the dark say otherwise. Escape is never simple. Escaped is never certain. And sometimes, the prison follows you.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy.

His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
