Je pensais pouvoir faire fonctionner mon mariage sans sexe. Qui a besoin de sexe quand on a l'amour, n'est-ce pas ? J'avais tort, terriblement tort. Il s'est avéré que mon mari était capable d'avoir des relations sexuelles, finalement. Juste pas avec moi. Il préférait... ma mère. Je les ai surpris au lit ensemble. Alors, j'ai pensé que je devais sauter d'un pont. J'y ai rencontré un inconnu. Je lui ai donné ma première fois sur un coup de tête. Après une nuit de sexe époustouflant, j'ai quitté sa maison en pensant que je ne le reverrais plus jamais. Puis, je suis allée à la fête de fiançailles de ma tante. Elle a exhibé son fiancé devant moi. C'était l'inconnu. Et il était sur le point de devenir mon oncle.

Elara Volkova was a battle-hardened Spetsnaz operative, born to survive war but never spared from its brutality. During a high-risk infiltration behind enemy lines, a catastrophic failure results in a close-proximity nuclear detonation. But instead of death, Elara awakens in a surreal quantum system designed to intercept and combat multiversal crises. Now bound to the Crisis Response System (CRS)—an ancient, failing AI built by a forgotten hyper-advanced civilization—Elara becomes humanity’s last firewall across collapsing realities. To keep the system alive and her daughter breathing, she must lead VR-recruited “players” from alternate Earths into deadly missions they think are simulations. From biological outbreaks and nuclear fallout to spectral threats and collapsing timelines, Elara guides misfit operators through escalating disaster zones. These aren't just missions—they're tests of human endurance, morality, and will to survive. But as the system’s secrets unravel, so does the truth of her existence… and the cost of bearing the mantle of savior. Blending tactical realism, sci-fi technology, and mythological dread, Crisis Response and Intervention delivers a high-octane narrative where survival is earned, and sacrifice is inevitable. #AntiWar #Peace #Justice #MilitarySci-fi #SpecialForces #Worldhopping #BiochemicalCrisis #Crisis #War #Rescue #Paranormal #Disaster #Apocalytic #Action #VR #Survival #Humanity #Internationalism #BeyondBorders

In the neon veins of a dying Japan, a drug is eating people alive. They call it Burn—a mind-altering substance that doesn't just destroy the body. It rewires the soul. Some users vanish. Others come back changed… their minds gone, their voices layered with static, their hands twitching like insects. Ren Arakida doesn’t work for the cops. He doesn’t believe in redemption. But he has a gift: when he touches someone’s hand, he sees what they’ve become. And with Burn, what they’ve become is inhuman. Alongside a fugitive cybernetic doctor and a rogue engineer who can turn junk into miracles, Ren runs Third Vein—a hidden clinic where the broken sometimes get one last chance. But the more cases they see, the clearer it becomes: Burn isn’t a drug. It’s a message. And it’s spreading.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
