# blacksmith # forging In a parallel world, everyone awakened to weapon talents. They used divine weapons to battle against ferocious creatures. Hence, the Forgemaster job class was born and was held in high esteem. Wu Mo transmigrated to this world and became a student of the top academy, Divine Arms Academy. The end-of-semester practical exam was in three days. Students were required to forge a divine weapon on the spot. However, he was not prepared at all!

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.

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.

#In every world, the corrupted male lead wants to lock me in a little black room# Shen Lang, true to her name, wreaked havoc upon the world, relying on her soul-snatching and captivatingly beautiful appearance. One day, she was locked onto by a System, the reason surprisingly being that she had broken the laws? Shen Lang issued a three-part denial: “I'm not, I didn't, you're spouting nonsense.” The System counted on its fingers: “According to a rough estimate, the Host, in her previous life, created a time-space machine, a zombie virus, a supernatural ability potion… You have severely violated the universal laws, so the System must punish you.” And so, Shen Lang was “forced” to get down to business, wholeheartedly being a scumbag to the male leads, striving to achieve the “cannon fodder” accomplishment. 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?

[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!"

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?"

From a nobody to a visionary, watch as Mao Jin transforms the Dust Valley Sect into a thriving business hub while rising to power!

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CHAPTER EXCERPT -- “Wait, someone might see.” Charlton said, recalling the glass window. “I’m prepared for that.” Serena replied as she bent to open her bag on the floor and then took out a film like looking sticker. “I found this at the market yesterday.” “I must say that I’m ill-prepared for this.” He noted as he furrowed his brows. Serena stood up and gave him the sticker. Then she placed her right hand on the bulge of his pants, directly gripping his erection. “Well, I must say that you’re not. Now, do place the sticker on the window.” — Serena Chen lived a life filled with love and success, while devoid of any hardship. So, when it was time to go, she went peacefully. However, as if fate was playing its game on her, she opened her eyes again only to discover that she has transmigrated as Serena Maxwell, the villainess in the novel "A Cinderella story in Victorian fantasy era" written by her very own granddaughter. Set in a Victorian-esque era, Serena Lilianne Maxwell was the only daughter of the Ducal house of Maxwell. She was rich, beautiful, a little haughty, and the fiancé of the crown prince. Every lady wants to be her, but sadly, the crown prince, Geoffrey, fell in love with Emily Evans, the daughter of an impoverished Baron. Seeing how young and beautiful she was again, her only thought was, since she already lived her past life as a normal decent lady, why not live as a semi-wanton lady of the era to fulfill her fantasies? Thus, she set her sights on her first target, Charlton Daniel, the only son of the duke of Suffox, cousin of the crown prince, and the original novel's second male lead. After some twists and turns, like any other sappy romantic story, the two inevitably fell in love. However, contrary to the novel's original plot, Geoffrey, the crown prince, who Serena was still politically engaged to, fell for her. It would have been less complicated if the engagement was not one ordained by the king, but it was. With this situation, what would Charlton and Serena have to do and what sacrifices must they make, to get to their happily ever after? Join them to find out. -- This novel will have romance, adventure, comedy, friendship, betrayal, politics, drama, smut, and so much more. (This will be a feast for historical drama and music lovers) Just for clarification, the world Serena transmigrated to is a Victorian-esque era so it's not exactly historically accurate. Timelines may be jumbled specially when it comes to some technological advances, but I try to keep them as realistic as possible. BTW, if anyone is curious about the age, this is more historically accurate. People in Victorian era marries on average, 26 for male, and never dropped lower than 22 for female.
