Crime Prison Island

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Time Travel: I Use Medicine to Counterattack the Cannon Fodder Script

[Age]+[Book Crossing]+[Aerial]+[Space] [The new book,"Rebirth 80: Bringing the Unkempt Man to Set Up a Stall and Become Rich" has been released. Please support!] Dai Tiange, who had been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for his entire life, had only jumped into a river to save a child. He didn't expect that he would inexplicably transmigrate into a book. His father was paralyzed in bed, his mother favored sons over daughters, and his grandmother often came over to take advantage of him. The most exaggerated thing was that Second Sister was the female lead and was reborn. She and Grandma urged her to sell her to the old widower. Now that she was here, she naturally had to break out of this predicament. In this place where golden pigs could fly everywhere, Dai Tiange decided to ride the wind of reform and opening up. First, he would work hard in business and pass on Chinese medicine. Dai Tiange felt a little headache when he faced all the handsome guys who came begging for his help. In this era where having a daughter was inferior to others, in this era where evil mothers-in-law ran amok, in this era where there were many brothers and sisters-in-law, it was really not easy to find a satisfactory husband! However, she still met the man who held her in his hands. (Dai Tiange = Cheng Mei)
