alibaba and the 40 thieves story

When not cuddling inn signs in her beloved Scottish mountains alongside Mr Shey, Shehanne Moore writes dark and smexy historical romance, featuring bad boys who need a bad girl to sort them out. She firmly believes everyone deserves a little love, forgiveness and a second chance in life. A woman not even the ghost of Sapphire can haunt. A man who knows exactly who she is. Only one man in England can identify her. Unfortunately he’s living next door. Ten years ago sixteen year old Sapphire, the greatest jewel thief England has ever known, ruined Lord Devorlane Hawley’s life by planting a stolen necklace on him. Now she’s dead and buried, all Cassidy Armstrong wants is the chance to prove she was never that girl. But her new neighbor is hell-bent on revenge and his word can bring her down. So when he asks her to be his mistress, or leave the county with a price on her head, Sapphire, who hates being owned, must decide... What’s left for a woman with nowhere else to go, but to stay exactly where she is? And hope, that when it comes to neighbors Devorlane Hawley won’t prove to be the one from hell.

Matsumoto Kunio was just an average human living an boring life in Tokyo, Japan. That is, until he died and was reincarnated to another world! Armed with a System and tasked with a mission to save the world, watch as Matou, the new name he was given, sets off on an epic adventure! …Or at least, that should have happened? “All right, hand me the thingamabob, you’re no longer the main character! Now, how does this thing work? Ah. “My name is Kayden, and witness my ascendance to the God of Thieves! None shall be safe from my hands, not even your beloved System! Muahahahaha!” This can’t be happening… ********************************************** Author’s note. Hi, this novel is a LitRPG slow-burn novel. In case you are confused, both Kayden and Matou are main characters, but the ‘protagonist’ would be Kayden. If you’re looking for a fast pace with extra high tensions for every chapter, this is not for you. Do leave reviews and comments on how to improve my writing. Be nice about it. There are no plans to monetize anything for now. But who knows? If people want to pay for my unedited stockpile, I might just consider hiring an editor and speeding the process.

Melizabeth has been cruel to the world. She was a murderer, an assassin, a thief, but no one knew about it. She was disguised. Perhaps, only the Gods knew about her. She knew that even if she's cruel, strong, and fast. She can never beat the Gods, and that she wanted to do. She trained herself to becoming a Semideus, a mortal favored by the Gods. She wanted to go to the Olympian world, but she did not want to belong. She only seeks for answers, truth and revenge. Will she do it despite of being so smitten in love?

I was running away from them. My baby was crying in my arms as I tried to shush him. The biting cold was harsh my already thin frame. My baby’s lips started turning white. I glanced at how my baby boy stopped crying. I continued running until the town was far behind us and all I could see in front of us were just a field of thick snow. My baby’s lips turned blue. “Oh Lord, please don’t let anything happen to him,” I prayed to God and caught sight of an old church up the hill to the left of the snow-covered path. “Hang on there, baby, we are almost there,” I whispered to him. The falling snow was heavier as the minutes ticked by. Soon we were caught in a blizzard. With much difficulty we managed to reach the old church. My heart sank as I saw that it was a dilapidated and abandoned church. It only meant one thing, no warm fire to save my baby. I went inside anyway as that was the only shelter available for miles on end. There was no fire wood by the fire place. No blankets, no rugs or anything that I could use to warm us up. All my baby had was me. I cuddled him closer. I was losing my baby. “No, God! Lord if you can hear my prayer I am at your House right now please let my baby live! You can take my live, please let my baby live!!! Please Lord I beg you,” I kept repeating my prayer believing if I prayer hard enough God will really grant my wish and let me trade my life for my baby’s life. I did not know how long I prayed. When I finally checked on my son he was cold and dead. God did not help us. My prayers went unanswered. I wished the Earth would just open up and swallow me up as I lost the will to live on. I had lost my son, what else was there for me to live for? My last thoughts before I lost consciousness was, “God failed me.” ******************************** This incarnation: Theeya is the direct descendant of one of the original Forty Thieves. When everyone thought it was just a bedtime story that was popularized in the 1001 Arabian Nights. Their entire life changed course, taking on a totally different direction the moment Ali Baba killed all forty thieves. Theeya’s ancestors were guarding their family heirloom zealously. The only clue her late father guarded zealously was the parchment containing clues to where the secret cave was. Every man of each generation tried and failed to unravel the well hidden secret. Years later, it became her father’s obsession. Unfortunately he died without fulfilling his wish, that was to claim his birth right. As her late father had no son, only daughters, Theeya took it upon herself to continue her father’s legacy, to reclaim their family’s inheritance. She consulted the help of a dashing Professor, specialising in Egyptology, to unravel the mysteries of the parchments passed down from her forefathers. She found herself falling in love with Prof Jeff Everett, a man whom she thought to be gay. Only two years before that Theeya turned down the marriage proposal from her ex who cheated on her and had a baby with another woman when they were stil together. Theeya promised herself that she had no time for romance. She must not get married. She must not let her father down. It was up to her to get to the secret cave and find that Holy Grail of Immortality even if that means going to the end of the world looking for it, not that she mind to travel with the devilishly handsome Professor Everett. Her legs would go jelly and she would swoon each time she was in the Professor’s presence. Can she really survive her adventure with Professor Everett? As they traced the footsteps of men who lived for the secrets of the cave and the Holy Grail, they found the other descendants of the original Forty Thieves. One thing in common bound them, one thing that none could ever ignore, the bloody red eyes that would haunt their sleep. Would these nightmares end once they unravel the ancient secrets of the Forty Thieves cave?

People say that if you catch the mythical beast called Tikbalang, and pluck its golden hair out, you can make a single wish of anything you want. But a mere myth like that isn't enough to move everyone's heart and make them believe. Only those who truly have powers that have seen the world from above, individuals with great ambitions and desires, will dare search for the whereabouts of such a mythical beast. All in hopes for their own wish to be granted. All in hopes of gaining absolute strength, supreme authority, and immortality to live and rule the world for all eternity. But across all the ages, no one has ever caught the mythical beast. Yet Jax and his friends, a band of thieves who live in the wild, never imagined that they were actually raised and guided by that very mythical beast. And they later found out that the mythical beast, Tikbalang, had already been caught by someone with its golden hair already plucked out.

Remi was separated from her identical twin when Remi's mother ran away from the Henson Family right after they discovered the existence of a Henson heir. Unfortunately, when Remi was five years old, her mother met with a hit-and-run accident that remains unsolved to this day, resulting in Remi being raised in an orphanage in the village remotely. A complex and unfair life made Remi become the "robin hood" among the orphans. She cared and took responsibility when the funding for the orphanage was cut due to the flocking of children sent; some even had parents, but their disability was considered a shame, and they were shipped off like livestock. One night at a luxury yacht party, Remi and her teams crafted a plan to rob the rich people attending the party. Their goal was interrupted when Remi saw a woman with a lifeless look standing alone. To her surprise, the woman looked like her, except she was clad in a designer gown that looks to be too mature and heavy for her age. Clarissa climbed on the railing of the ship to end her life. Driven by the desire to save Clarissa, Remi jumped to Clarissa's aid, making both of them fall into the sea together, and only one came out alive. The story of Remi's new life begins full of drama, mystery, and farce among the nobility. Assuming the role of her long-lost twins, she discovered the twists and turns of the ugly life her twins must endure. However, being entangled with One of the highly desirable billionaire Bachelor is not in her plan. He loves perfection, but she is far from perfect. She hates the rich, and yet he is rich. He hates Criminals, and she is a criminal. Does destiny pair them to spite them? or Does fate knows what's best for them? Please leave a comment if you like the story!
