men of valor

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility. But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within. Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings. Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves wilt. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

Jeg udstødte en bitter latter. "Det er ironisk, er det ikke? I har brugt årevis på at gøre mit liv til et helvede på jord, og nu ser I på mig, som om jeg er selve den luft, I indånder." Lennox' ansigt faldt sammen. "Olivia, det var ikke meningen, det skulle være sådan her—" Jeg afbrød ham med øjne, der blussede af vrede. "Jo, det var det. I ville have mig knækket. I ville have mig til at lide. Og det gjorde jeg." Jeg holdt en pause, og min stemme skælvede. "Men ikke længere." Louis, som havde været tavs, sagde sagte: "Olivia, vi—" Jeg rystede på hovedet og tog et skridt tilbage for at skabe afstand mellem os. "Nej. Uanset hvad I tror, I føler, er det ligegyldigt. Det er for sent. I havde et valg. Og hver eneste gang valgte I hende. Igen og igen valgte I Anita." Levi rystede på hovedet. "Vi tog fejl." Jeg mødte deres blikke. "Ja, det gjorde I. Og nu må I leve med det." Med de ord vendte jeg mig om og nægtede at lade dem se de tårer, der brændte i mine øjne. •••••••• Olivia Parker var engang den elskede datter af en respekteret Gamma—indtil forræderi knuste hendes verden. Stemplet som datter af en forræder blev hun frataget sin titel, sin værdighed og det liv, hun havde kendt, og tvunget til at tjene som en Omega blandt dem, der engang respekterede hende. Men Skæbnen var ikke færdig med hende endnu. På aftenen for parringsceremonien opdagede Olivia den grusomste af alle skæbnens luner—hun var ikke bestemt for kun én mage, men tre. Og ikke bare hvilke som helst tre. Alfa Lennox, Alfa Louis og Alfa Levi—de hensynsløse trillinge-Alfaer, som havde brugt årevis på at pine hende. Bundet til et ægteskab, de aldrig havde ønsket, gjorde trillingerne hendes liv til et vågent mareridt. De fremviste deres elskerinde, Anita, foran hende og sørgede for, at hun aldrig glemte sin plads, aldrig glemte, at de aldrig ville have hende. Men Skæbnen har sin egen måde at spille spillet på. Som hemmeligheder afsløres og begravede sandheder kommer frem i lyset, begynder trillingerne at se Olivia for den, hun virkelig er—ikke bare en Luna af titel, men den kvinde, de aldrig indså, de havde brug for. Men nu er hun færdig med at vente.

----Completed---- ----Synopsis---- There are several Death Reapers in the world, and each of them is assigned souls who die a certain way. One day a mortal man named Haalfrin catches the eye of 2 Reapers – Freyya the death god of mortals fallen in battle, and Das, the reaper of souls who are killed by time – by old age. For reasons unknown yet, Das and Freyya each want to claim Haalfrin’s mortal soul. Being a warrior craving excitement and a life worth living, Haalfrin makes an easy target for Freyya (or so she thinks), as she creatively tries to think of ways to make sure Haalfrin doesn’t come back from his adventures alive, while her counterpart Das is trying to keep the mortal alive just long enough to expire naturally. …The only catch is that Haalfrin himself has recently lost his entire clan, and his only desire left to him is to die a cool death. Maybe this way, he can make one final story he can tell his brothers when he meets them on the other side. ----Author Notes---- 1. I don't plan on Contracting Webnovel for this Book, since it's just a hobby right now and this is my first book. SO, THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY FREE. It's copyrighted though, so don't take this book and sell it - obviously. 2. When I showed some siblings the synopsis, they thought this was going to be a comedy. This story does have a few funny parts (particularly in Volume 4), but that's it. As a whole, this story is NOT a comedy. It's a story about a man who wants to die.

Cierra Boyle blev brat sendt til udlandet af sin mand på deres bryllupsnat. Det var en gådefuld vending, som fik mange til at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved omstændighederne. Tre lange år gik, før Cierra endelig vendte tilbage, kun for at blive mødt af en barsk virkelighed – hun blev jaget væk med en skilsmisseaftale og et separationsbrev. Nysgerrighed og skadefryd fyldte luften, mens folk spændt ventede på Cierras fald. De forudsagde, at hun ville bukke under for strabadserne i et liv i fattigdom og til sidst komme krybende tilbage og skamløst tigge Boyle-familien om husly. De spekulerede yderligere i, at hun ville plage Draven Trevino ubønhørligt. Skæbnen havde dog en anden plan i vente. En overraskende udvikling fandt sted, da nogen så Draven stå foran sin ekskone med et ynkeligt udtryk i øjnene. "Cierra," ytrede han, med en stemme fyldt af længsel, "hvornår skal vi giftes igen?"

One day, she was locked onto by a System, the reason surprisingly being that she had broken the laws?

However, what's going on with the devastatingly handsome and immensely powerful male lead, the big BOSS, becoming paranoid and corrupted and wanting to lock her in a little black room?

Damien Crowell was just a regular high school student who took a regular tunnel on his way to school—until one day, that tunnel spit him out into a completely different world. Instead of his usual path, he finds himself in a dark forest that stretches on for days, running on nothing but sheer stubbornness and a tiny water bottle.

Now, trapped in a fantasy world where every guy looks like they stepped out of a modeling agency, Damien’s biggest challenge isn’t just survival—it’s trying to figure out why *he* always looks like a mess in comparison. Can he make it back home, or will he end up staying just to admire all the beautiful faces? Join Damien as he navigates a strange new world, awkward introductions, and a whole lot of unexpected feels in this hilarious, fantasy adventure!

[A Scheming Beauty Good at Flirting x a Domineering CEO, a Gentle Doctor, the Stoic Bigshot, and Twins; Male Leads Rivalry] Mia Grant stayed up all night reading a novel full of chaotic romance. Seeing an imprisonment scene in the book, she excitedly blurted out, "Please, protagonist! Let me in there to act for a couple of episodes!" After suddenly dying, she really did transmigrate into the novel, but not as the protagonist—rather, as the villainous side character. The original book didn't describe this character in detail, only mentioning that she was locked in a basement and starved to death for framing the protagonist. To survive, Mia Grant targeted the novel's several male leads and began her conquest. To the domineering CEO, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "Big Brother, the basement is so dark. Mia is so scared~" To the doctor, she cooed, "Second Brother, Mia’s chest hurts so much. Quick, have a listen." To the Stoic Bigshot, she looked innocent, "Mr. Keller, we’re in the same bed... My sister won’t be angry, will she?" To the aloof top student, she sobbed, "Am I just too stupid? I can’t compare to my sister at all!" To the puppy-dog-like boy, she blushed, "I didn’t come to watch you play! I-I was just passing by!" Having saved enough money, Mia Grant faked her death and escaped. Two months later, while she was on a tropical island flirting with eight male models, the System suddenly contacted her, "Host, I’ve finally established a connection with you! But can you tell me why all the male leads have gone mad? They even scattered your ashes into the sea!" "Forget it, you must go back and reduce their corruption levels! This world can still be saved!" "Not going." System: "A one-billion-dollar bonus!" Mia Grant whipped out her phone to contact a helicopter: "Yes, I need to leave the island. Immediately! Right now!"
