Note: This is a strange book. You have been warned. :P [ Mature Content! ] --- In a faraway fantasy land lived a powerful exalted being, King Arankar, who didn't know anything about humans or civilized races in general. His world didn't have any civilized societies or races as only beasts, spirits, and god consciousness like him were birthed, and everything was about survival and getting stronger, devouring each other to reach the peak. He became the strongest of all in the Arankar world, so strong that none ever reached his level, and the world also took his name while also crowning him as the King of All. But this was the start of his downfall. He started feeling flawed, not perfect like he thought. The overwhelming boredom and dullness of his world started corrupting him as he was getting devoured by his own darkness, and there was no way of stopping it. He didn't feel any worth living life as eons passed without him doing anything. Darkness started devouring him, and if he didn't stop it, he would destroy his beloved world, a result he didn't wish to bring into reality. In the final moments of his life, before he decided to scatter his own consciousness and achieve true death, King Arankar produced an unknown urge, the urge to seek help for the first time in his life! And, his first urge to seek help did bring him the service he needed! His world got connected to our very own planet Earth! Earth was now different, for this Arankar world was not the first one connected to it via a bridge portal. King Arankar's world was the 4th world! Earth had become a hub of fantasy, as becoming an Adventurer was a common choice for people. Follow the journey of King Arankar as he reincarnates as a human to experience the carnival of life and finds mysteries and wonders that he couldn't have seen otherwise.

Lin Wan opened a small animal clinic at the foot of the mountain. She thought she'd be treating cats and dogs. Instead, wild boars came for stitches. Foxes brought jade. Owls paid in pearls. Geese paid in eggs. Then one night, the animals dragged home an injured man. And everything changed.

A merchant’s daughter. A penniless player. One dangerous Carnival. Antwerp, 1530. As Lent approaches, Carnival reaches its height: days and nights when the city turns upside down, masks hide faces, rules are broken, and laughter drowns out truth. Katelijne, daughter of a wealthy merchant, is expected to marry well, smile sweetly, and secure her family’s future. Her betrothed is handsome and celebrated — yet his charm hides shadows her brother warns her not to ignore. Joseph Beaufort is a penniless actor with a parrot on his shoulder, a sister at his side, and nothing to his name but wit and ambition. Carnival is his chance to win fortune — until one glance binds him to a woman he can never have. A merchant’s daughter. A wandering player. One bound by duty, the other by dreams. In the reckless whirl of Carnival, temptation sparks. But when masks fall away, love may cost them everything.

On our wedding anniversary, my husband, Nelson Vaughn, took my daughter and me to a carnival. In the middle of the festivities, Nelson was called away on an "urgent matter," leaving my daughter and me stranded hundreds of feet in the air on a malfunctioning Ferris wheel. I held my terrified daughter, my own sobs catching in my throat as I called Nelson again and again. Finally, on the last attempt, he picked up. My voice was a hoarse rasp as I opened my mouth to beg for help, but all I heard were the slick, rhythmic sounds of lovemaking on the other end. A moment later, a woman's voice purred. "Nelson, you have no idea how moved I am... that you sacrificed your son with Cassandra for ours. The only way I can repay you is with my body..." Nelson paused before replying, his voice a low growl. "I promised I'd protect our child, no matter the cost. As for my son with Cassandra... his life was forfeit from the start." At that, the tears I’d been holding back finally fell. I’d always believed my three-year-old son died in a family vendetta—a death I had blamed myself for. It turned out my son hadn't died in a feud at all. He had been sacrificed by Nelson to save his mistress's son—Ella Fischer's son! With the last of my strength, I dialed Killian Donovan's number. "I'll marry you. But I want you to destroy Nelson Vaughn and his entire family." A soft, dangerous chuckle came from the other end of the line. "With pleasure."
