territorial rights

A kaiju ate me alive. I felt my ribs go one at a time. Then something in the dark of its gut decided I was not finished. It started my heart with a hand that was not mine, and I walked out of the corpse on my own two feet, the only person who ever has. That was the night she bought the rights to whatever I had become. One screen. One subscriber. The screen is my life, live and uncut. The subscriber is her, and she pays whatever it costs to keep the feed running: every fight, every wound, every hour I lose to the thing growing up the inside of my spine. When I run, the money finds me. When I bleed, the bid climbs. The Defense Force has me filed as a contaminant. The corporations want me as their next headliner. She understood the part both of them missed: the stronger the parasite makes me, the less of me is left. Every night, behind one glowing screen, the woman who calls herself my sponsor watches me turn into the thing that killed me. She has never once looked away.

Synopsis: Yu Qiao finished his matrimonial vow and officially married the ugly duckling while drunk. Rude? He didn’t give a damn since it was not his choice in the first place. The woman had enough money to save his father's company. Aside from that fact, it was just ‘not right’ to get married to the woman whom he always treated like a sister. "Leave me alone and I will do the same for you. We are still married legally so make sure you handle your special affairs discreetly." Her text message after leaving him alone after their supposed honeymoon night. Five years later, he was now a billionaire and wanted to have an annulment, just like they had agreed on. What would happen if the woman he married had hidden a lot of things from him and left him alone for his own sake? Would he change his mind? ----------------------------------- Hi everyone, Thank you so much for checking out the story as well as waiting patiently for it.

Phill is dying(Yeah, that cliche again). He has cancer and around a year to live. His degrading health has rendered him unable to go out as usual as once he used to do. Spending most of the time in the hospital, Phill plays Ulteria: the VMMORPG, which has time dilution giving him 2 years more than what reality is offering. That and all the world"s" of Ulteria to explore, but there will be someone and... READ THE CHAPTERS TO KNOW MORE. Note: *This story is solely focused on world-building. World-building that would help me with another project I have been working on for the last 4 months. That means it is a writing practice project for me. *Not a power fantasy. It is more inclined towards paranormal-romance twisted with virtual reality( no harem elements either), and how could I forget about the VMMORPG? So you could expect lots of new species, magic, races, system twists, and a lot of other things. That is if I update it( Naash scoffs at himself.) I am not going to update it constantly, not even twice a week. So any 1 or 2 stray readers who stumble upon this and mistakenly like it (Sorry in advance.) This story is also available on royalroad under my username Godly.

Mercy? Compliance? What’s that even worth anymore? How many times can you offer forgiveness before it turns into cowardice? How many chances do monsters get before you stop pretending they’ll ever change? When the system grinds you down to numbers and nerve endings, when even your kindness is used against you — you either break, or you burn it all. No saviors. No redemption arcs. Just pain, rage, and the question that never shuts up: Who still deserves to live, when survival itself feels like betrayal?
