clive barker dread short story

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

Haven't play, buy nor see footage of the game yet but I was interested with the story of FF16 so I'll look through the walkthroughs on YT. As for now, the story starts slow as to build the character of the MC reincarnated into Clive as of right now. Although, I do worry about how the relationship between Clive with other characters as of right now. I hope I'm wrong but hopefully his relationship with his family is as good as it is. As well as Joshua's.

Soul Game: I'm the Boss Behind the Scenes

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the old gods rose together. The Ji family used the First Flame to activate the eternal Zhou. The gods born from Pangu's blood were afraid of fire, so they controlled the supreme divine power to send down a flood that drowned everything. The chaos of war began to spread across the land like a plague. The fire of the royal family was the first to be extinguished… The Hundred Schools of Philosophy wandered in the darkness… The distant frontier had fallen into a breeding ground for foreign objects... This game, called Song of Nine, had become a global hit as soon as it was released. Chen Kui accidentally transmigrated into the game and became a witness to all of this. He was surprised to find that not only could he kill the monsters in the game, but he could also harvest the treasure rewards from the players. "Gou planning! Why did I lose my enhanced weapon after dying once?" Are you sure this isn't a plot kill?" "I'm paying a lot of money to fight for you! I've been stuck at this Elite monster for three days!" Chen Kui had become the most terrifying world boss in the eyes of countless players. Many years later, at the TGO annual festival, the designer of Song of Nine, who won the Best Game of the Year award, secretly nudged the planner beside him with his elbow. He looked at the game silhouette on the big screen and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure…? Is this really a character that we personally designed?“

Counting with my fingers, I'm in trouble today.

Since Ateng had his own consciousness, he had been doing his own thing, arrogant and domineering. If someone got into trouble, they would take the blame and beat up whoever they didn't like. Until one day, Ah Teng picked up the son of an old friend. The little guy was talkative and used to making people happy. Ah Teng was in a good mood and simply took him in as his disciple. However, not long after, a little girl who claimed to be the female protagonist told her that she was the villain of a novel and that the one she picked up was the future male protagonist. They would kill each other in the future and die together. For the time being, it was recommended to stay away from them. Ah Teng looked at the obedient and sensible male lead, then at the so-called female lead. He smiled and gave a friendly suggestion." Is that so? Then why don't you stay away from me first? Otherwise, I won't be able to continue writing this book if I tell you…" [CP Attributes: High Force, Arrogant Big Boss Female Lead VS White Cut, Black Gentle Male Lead]
