⟪Complete Novel⟫ What sort of witchcraft was that? Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her. 'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.' She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired. 'I know you like this. I can hear it in your heartbeat. I can taste it.' She did like it. His deep voice inside her mind carried a wealth of passion. It felt like having even more of him within her. It was tempting to fully embrace it. 'You are mine, body and mind, give me everything.' *** The Archduke of Lanark was blessed with two daughters, his eldest was the most beautiful Lady in the kingdom, while the youngest, Adelaide, held a special place in his heart. Life for the noble family was about to undergo a profound shift. With the revolution threatening the aristocrats of Emoria, their Monarch demanded they part with a significant portion of their wealth to appease the people. As a result, Adelaide's proud father found himself facing financial hardships that pushed him into deep debt. Just as despair gripped the family, a mysterious stranger arrived in town, igniting fervent discussions among the nobility with his considerable fortune and flawless etiquette. To their astonishment, this stranger paid off the Archduke's debt, becoming involved in their lives in more ways than one. Egon von Conradie, the wealthy commoner, had a hidden agenda. But his perfect plan faced an unforeseen obstacle—he had not anticipated falling for the daughter of his mortal enemy. Only Adelaide, a rare Healer, had the power to captivate a unique Beast like Egon. *** Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

----- “Alright.” “I better go now. I’ll be fine on my own now.” She grinned again while fixing her hair, tucking it neatly under the cap and turning up the hood to cover half of her face. Her guise was complete. She knew that she would pass as a boy with her current look. So she uncaringly opened the door. With one last smile she thanked him again and left. Just like that. Chen Linyun’s peace and quiet has been perturbed. ‘Take responsibility, somehow.’ He said in his mind, to the girl who just left, eyes glimmering. He gazed darkly at her fading silhouette but did not do anything anyway. ----- Chen Linyun had spent the night together in a dorm room with a drunken girl he had mistaken for a boy when he was still eighteen years old during his sophomore year in the university. Little did he know this short encounter will leave a mark in him, unable to let go of this woman who disappeared after that night. He was head-over-heels and had vowed to search for her in every part of the earth. Five years later, they met again, but the woman he once knew wasn't the same as she was before. Just after a few years, she became a domineering leader of her own empire. With his own charm, his adventure to chase the girl and convince her of his love starts in this story. It's a reverse role that the MC is a bit soft and domesticated but smart, while the FC is the strong-willed one - playful and teasing. Excerpt 2: ----- “Deal.” Chen Linyun stood up. “One more thing.” He grabbed her hand that was resting on the table. He gently guided it for her to stand up. She followed her lead and stood up, confused. The next thing she knew, she was enveloped in his warm embrace. “I missed you.” She blushed. She tried to push him away. His left hand was cradling the back of her head while his right hand secured her lower back. She was held tightly in his embrace. “Just a little longer.” She was helpless. “I’ll sue you for harassment.” “You wouldn’t do that.” He finally released her and stared at her blushing face. “This time I won’t leave your side.” ------ **PLEASE NOTE THE TRAGEDY TAG** Author has discord server and instagram!

Warning:This may contain extremely violent scenes. If you don't like that, I don't recommend reading it The world, scorched by the Great Catastrophe, lies in wait for new masters. Ancient Swords-sentient blades with souls of their own-slumber in the wastelands, awaiting those who dare to forge a blood contract with them. The "Ka" system-an alchemical cycle of life and death, where power is forged not in a furnace, but through the consumption of alien essences-governs this reality. Those who wield such blades taste true greatness, yet they pay the price with the very time of their own lives. Standard weapons remain the tools of the masses, while Ancient Swords are reserved for those willing to become slaves to their own steel. And then, there are the Godlike Weapons-whose secrets remain shrouded in the darkness of ages. This is the story of Alistair, a man for whom cold calculation outweighs morality. In a world where the number of Ancient Swords is steadily dwindling, and every step is a perilous equation between raw power and biological decay, he does not seek salvation. With a razor-sharp intellect, ruthless logic, and absolute devotion to his ambition, he embarks on a path where aging is merely a currency spent to bend the laws of creation to his will. His singular desire is to uncover the Primordial Truth-a secret that holds the key to his forgotten past and promises the power to command the fundamental forces of the universe itself. To achieve this, he is prepared to sacrifice everything, casting aside the noise of morality and societal constraints. In a world where truth is the only law and time accelerates for the hesitant, he intends to ascend to the absolute summit. Without regret. Without fear. A ruthless gentleman walking the path through a thousand years of oblivion. "Ka"* - refers to the essence of foreign creatures. ------------------------------------ 7ch/week (some days I can upload 2ch) Chapter word count: 1000-1500 contact to author via telegram: @Vane_Alister For Every 50 power stone and gift, a bonus chapter will drop in the same day.
