Novels by Mattimeo

A huge white wolf raced across the rocky wilderness, its massive paws hammering against the uneven ground as loose stones scattered beneath its feet. Atop its back rode two girls dressed in pink and yellow gowns, while a boy of about seven sat between them.Both girls wore troubled expressions.Running alongside them were two grey wolves, each carrying two riders. Together, the three wolves fled across the rugged terrain.Close behind them, seven enormous black leopards surged over the rocks like living shadows. Each beast stood nearly five feet tall and carried two riders.The black leopards were Fiend Beasts, just like the wolves ridden by the fleeing group."Where do you two sisters think you're running to?" one of the riders shouted. "Surrender yourselves, and we won't make things too difficult for you!"The leader of the pursuing men narrowed his eyes."Attack their mounts first!" he commanded. "Force them onto the ground!"The moment the order was given, Dharma spells and Mana s

“We’re going to miss you, Samuel. Can’t you just stay behind? Do you really have to go over there?” Charlotte asked, tears streaming down her face. She already knew this wasn’t one of his usual trips where he would disappear for a month and return as if nothing had happened.“I have to, sis. But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon,” he assured her gently.Kimberly was already crying uncontrollably. “You can’t leave us, Brother Sam. It won’t feel the same without you. Please stay. Nova Isle is beautiful, and you built and fortified it yourself. Everything you could ever want is here, money, fame... Why do you have to leave?” she sobbed, clutching his arm tightly as if she could stop him from going.Samuel sighed softly.“I have to. Things are starting to move again, and there are still people out there who shouldn’t be breathing. Right now, this world is peaceful because the evil ones were wiped out, but it won’t stay that way forever.” He smiled faintly, though the weight behind his words

Samuel paused mid-bite and raised an eyebrow.“Someone wants to see me?”“Yes, Master.” Gilbert nodded. “She’s also an important person.”“What’s her name?” Samuel asked as he cut into the steak.“Lady Anabel.”Samuel paused for a moment before a smirk spread across his face.“Oh, so she finally came. Well, she’ll have to pay late fees.” He looked up. “Bring her in. Let her join us in the dining hall while we discuss business.”Gilbert bowed and left.A few moments later, Lady Anabel was escorted inside.“You certainly took your sweet time,” Samuel said the moment she stepped through the door. “If you had arrived any later, you might not have gotten another chance.”His words immediately raised the stakes. By subtly hinting that he would be leaving soon, just as the rumors claimed, he ensured she wouldn’t dare drag the negotiations out for too long.“Well, I have other important things to do,” she scoffed.“You mean recovering your strength isn’t important to you?” Samuel asked with a

Samuel returned to the room.Bruce was already awake. Power surged through his body after the evolution, and he had indeed become stronger, though not in any exaggerated way.Most of the improvement lay in his durability. His internal organs had undergone a complete evolution, making his body tougher than before. He would move faster, recover better, and endure injuries that would have crippled him in the past. It wasn't the kind of transformation that suddenly turned him into an unstoppable powerhouse."Samuel..." Bruce's voice trembled slightly as he stepped forward and bowed deeply. "I'm truly grateful for what you did for me today. I can never forget it, and I'll forever be in your debt. Because of you, I was given another chance to live. From now on, command me however you wish, and I will be at your service.""No need to go that far to repay me." Samuel smiled calmly. "Just continue doing good like you've always done. That's already more than enough repayment in my eyes."Bruce

"I'll be direct. Because of your story, you'll be the only one I'm giving a discount to. Just give me twenty-five million energy stones and a hundred billion credits. I'll heal you and also help you recover a huge portion of your powers," Samuel said bluntly.Chu Feng's mouth fell open in shock."Is that what you call a discount? Twenty-five million energy stones are worth two hundred billion! You're literally asking for three hundred billion! Where am I supposed to get that?"Samuel shrugged. "I don't know where you'll get the money from, but I'm sure you've accumulated quite a lot over the years.""Accumulated my foot! I also spent a huge amount cultivating to reach this level, and I've burned countless treasures trying to stop this from spreading.""I see." Samuel nodded.He turned and started heading back toward the house. He had just received a mental message from Carson. Bruce had awakened."Where are you going? We haven't finished talking." Chu Feng hurried after him and grabbe

Samuel looked at Eric. "Did you inform Burusia that we're coming?""Yes. I spoke with the supernatural organization in Burusia. They'll be expecting us, so we won't have any problems flying into the country.""That's great." Samuel nodded."Sam... are you going to stay for Nova Isle First Tech's product launch?" Eric asked."That... I don't think so. I'm sure my sister will handle it well.""But you're leaving with Nina. Are you sure someone else can manage our island well enough?" he asked worriedly."Yes. Gilbert, Trisha, and Maxwell Tega will take care of things. Don't worry. Everything will work out here."Several hours later, they arrived in Burusia and flew directly to Bruce's family estate before landing.The family leader personally came out to welcome him. After exchanging a few words, Samuel headed straight for Bruce's room. To his surprise, Dmitry was already waiting there."Oh. I thought you were on the battlefield," Samuel said."Yes, I was. But I told someone in Burusia

"Can you leave already?" Mark demanded, his voice cold enough to send a chill down Simon’s spine."Who... who are you?" Simon stuttered."Her boyfriend. Now leave." Mark repeated calmly, but firmly."Boyfriend? So you have a boyfriend, Anna? You followed me on a date and we even kissed. How could you be so vile?" Simon snapped.Anna froze in disbelief. "Wait... did you just say we kissed?" She needed to be sure she heard correctly."Yes, am I lying? We even did more than that."Pah!The slap echoed through the room. Simon’s eyes squeezed shut as pain exploded across his face. He could not believe such a gentle looking girl could strike with that kind of force. For a dizzy moment he thought he saw two of her."Are you satisfied now? Leave." Anna said firmly."You slapped me, you..." he began angrily, but Mark had reached his limit. He grabbed Simon by the shirt and lifted him effortlessly."My girl said you should go. So fuck off." He growled, then threw him to the side.Simon hit the

The ride home was mostly silent. Anna bit her lip, feeling a bit nervous. She was confused about Mark’s stance. He still had not made anything clear.“I am sorry that I left the country without telling you,” he said.“You already apologized on the phone. I forgave you long ago, and you did nothing wrong anyway. It is not as if we are dating,” she replied, studying his face as she emphasized the dating part to watch his reaction.His face remained expressionless, revealing nothing. He calmly pulled over in front of a grocery store.“You want to get groceries?” she asked.“Mmm. Come.”They walked inside the grocery store. They bought rice, sauce, meat, and many other items.“I never imagined someone like you shopping for groceries,” she whispered. He smiled but said nothing.Meanwhile, the other customers saw them as a lovey dovey couple. Many of the women looked excited, since it was rare to see a man buying groceries with his wife or girlfriend.After shopping, he drove straight to he

Mark breathed in deeply. Finally, he was back in York City. He walked calmly down the plane."Boss!" Liam called as he approached.Mark casually handed him his suitcase."How are things going? Are our people ready to receive the shipped stones?" he asked."Rest assured, boss, everything is ready," Liam assured him."Good. How is Sico Technology faring?"Liam knew the question was connected to Warren's videos."I have requested the videos be taken down and warned the media houses. But it seems there is someone else behind this, and I was not able to succeed completely because they keep protecting the media," he explained."They want to bully me?" Mark smirked. "Then they should be ready to be bullied in return."Whoever was instigating this seemed to think they were only fighting Sico Technology and Willstark."Investigate the person thoroughly for me," he said as they entered their car in the parking lot."I have already done some checking. Here is what I found." Liam handed him a doc

Simon returned."It seems you are bored here. Let's go to the bar counter and have a drink," he offered.She thought about it and nodded. Since she was already here she might as well have a drink before going home.Simon brought her to the counter."Bartender, two shots please." He smiled and gave him a wink. The bartender nodded and poured two shots for them. He handed Simon the first shot and Simon passed it to Anna.Anna was about to take it when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was Mark. For some reason she suddenly felt guilty."Excuse me, I have to take this." She left the bar and walked some distance away while Simon silently cursed whoever had called her."Hello." She answered coolly."Anna, how are you? I heard what happened. Are you alright?" he asked."Yes, thanks for asking, Mark." She tried to sound polite and distant.Mark frowned. "I am coming back tomorrow, Anna. We need to talk.""Oh, is it about business?" she asked."No. When did we even start tal

A military boat loomed into view."What is a military ship doing here? I don't think they patrol this area, huh?" Isabella asked worriedly.Mark remained calm as he watched them block off their boat."What should we do? Should we exchange fire with them?" she asked, still anxious."Not advisable." He shook his head. "They have the height advantage and can just shoot down at us. They might even throw grenades.""Fuck. Well, I think we can convince them that we are not a threat to the Panya government. After all, other boats pass through this route sometimes.""It is not a Panya military boat," Mark replied, lightly shaking his head. "It is likely a Burusia military vessel illegally exploring this area to see if they can locate gold on any of the uninhabited islands. And they will not be happy that we saw them here.""So...?""So they will either kill us or capture us." He replied. "More likely they will capture us because they will not want to open fire and attract attention, so they w

The full advertisement rollout for the Supercell battery was in progress. Many investors heard about the project and became interested, but Anna had to decline their offers since Willstark would be providing all the funding needed.Things were going well, and she had successfully removed the production line at Austra while relocating the Supercell battery lab from York City to Austra.All the necessary materials had been purchased, and only one final component remained, which the Willstark representative claimed was already on the way. They were also working on securing partnerships with phone companies.To that effect, she had found a company called Vovu. They were about to release a new phone, and if production of the Supercell battery began before two months, Vovu would receive the first supply. Sico Technology would then wait four months before releasing sales to the wider market.By then, Vovu’s new phone was expected to sell like hot cake. But to secure that priority position, t

The interview began. “Mr. Alex,” the host said with a smile that barely hid his curiosity, “how did you know you could succeed as a director? You had never directed a movie before, nor worked in that role.” Alex didn’t hesitate. “I learned by watching Director Chaplain,” he replied smoothly. “I’m a fast learner. I read books, studied, watched helpful videos. In the end, it comes down to hard work. Anyone can do it.” It was a clean, practiced lie. But it's not like he can tell the truth. “Wow.” “You’re a genius,” the host exclaimed, clearly impressed. The audience murmured in agreement. The interview continued, flowing naturally, until the host leaned forward slightly. “Before we wrap up, is there anything you’d like to say? Anyone you’d like to thank?” For the first time that night, Alex paused. His gaze softened. “Yes,” he said quietly. “There are many people I’m grateful to. I wouldn’t be here without them.” The hall fell still. “My landlady, Debbie. My best friend, Jud

The album carried every track from the movie, fully produced by Jude. Out of the sixteen tracks, Alex appeared in eight, with only four of those as solo performances. The rest paired him with a mix of top artists and fast-rising names.The remaining eight tracks were handled by major artists like Barbie Sandra, Draco, Lina, and others dominating the charts. Still, every single song came from Alex. He wrote them all, shaping the sound, directing the tone, controlling the creative flow from start to finish.He poured money into the album without hesitation. This wasn’t just music. It was part of the strategy.Marketing began with the trailers. They rolled out one after another, each sharper than the last. Alex’s presence dominated them, his strongest scenes cut into moments that stayed with people. The effect was immediate. Anticipation surged.Then came the release date announcement.Two weeks before the movie dropped, Album Apex was released.The response detonated across the industry

"I'm not supposed to forgive you, but I'm magnanimous. Follow me to their studio," she said."Why? You said you had already done the screening?" her manager asked."Yes, but I want to negotiate immediately, so fucking follow me!" Amber snapped.*******Everything for the movie was falling into place. Alex had spoken extensively with Anna, and they had agreed to secure two leading actors.Alex and Mara could already be considered big in the entertainment industry, especially Alex, whose star power had become insane. He had already reached out to Mara’s team.The problem was her team, who were demanding an exorbitant fee. They had rejected backend deals and were asking for five million with only a tiny backend percentage. They clearly didn’t believe in the movie’s future.Alex didn’t even know what to say, because Klaus, an artist bigger than Mara, had requested exactly that same amount."What should we do? Mara is good and necessary, but we need to spend less. Our budget is a hundred m

"Alright. It’s nothing much anyway. I just want people close to me to be part of something big that’s coming in the future. It’s fine. We’ll just pay for your studio for a year or more." Alex shrugged."And I’m not going to give you a discount. Since you’re so determined to waste money, I’ll make sure I help you do it," Chaplain said decisively."Alright." Alex smirked and stood up. "I’ll be leaving.""Go on." Chaplain nodded.After he left, Chaplain sighed."I liked this boy. I really thought he was more unique than the rest. But he’s even worse. A little fame and money, and he already feels like Merlin. Directing a movie and fully sponsoring its production. A minimum of eighty million. Tch, wasted millions."He sighed again, though he wasn’t very troubled. After all, he had seen plenty of people like him in the industry. He had stayed long enough to witness it all.A line of escort cars was already waiting for Alex outside. He walked straight to the center car. The driver stepped fo

At one point, the beat stripped down, leaving just the two of them trading lines. The crowd held onto every word, reacting to each exchange as the tension sharpened.When the full beat crashed back in, Alex surged forward again, pulling the energy back under his control as the song drove into its final stretch.He delivered the final line himself, closing the performance cleanly.The crowd erupted into cheers and shouts, the excitement carrying through the stadium.Draco gave a brief nod and stepped away, leaving the stage without lingering.The energy he left behind continued to ripple through the crowd.Alex stood alone again, letting the moment settle just enough before moving forward.Then the next beat dropped without warning as “Say My Name” began.Alex went straight into the verse, his delivery raw and direct, each bar landing with clarity and force.The crowd locked in quickly, following him word for word.K-brown stepped in seamlessly, his flow controlled and fluid as he blen

Luxoria Prime City in Elaris was known as the home of music. At its heart stood one of the largest stadiums ever built specifically for music festivals.The Imperial Star Stadium.Ten months had passed since Alex began his tour, and tonight marked the final stop. Fifty-two thousand seats, completely sold out two months in advance, left no room for doubt. In Luxoria Prime, his demand was absolute. This was where his strongest fanbase lived, and tonight proved it.Inside the dressing room, Alex sat before the mirror as the stylist finished the last details.The door opened.“Thank you,” Anna said as she stepped in.“You’re welcome, ma. I’m just doing my job.” The stylist nodded and left.Anna walked over and sat beside Alex.“How do you feel? This is about to be your biggest show ever.”She leaned in, wrapping her arms around him from behind.Alex looked at his reflection for a moment, then smiled.“I feel like I’ve got this. Like everything is under control.”She studied him. “You’re n

"Come, son. What do you want?"Mattimeo took out a list he had prepared beforehand."I want everything on this list," he said.The seller took the list and scanned through it."Hmm, you must be an apprentice Alchemist, right?" he asked."Yes." Mattimeo nodded."I can tell. These are materials for basic pills. Where do you study?" he asked curiously."I don't study anywhere, but I have a master," Mattimeo replied."Alright. These will cost you two hundred low-grade spirit stones, or two mid-grade spirit stones," the seller said."That much? That's too expensive." Mattimeo frowned."Expensive? Son, you don't know how expensive Alchemy is. You're still making something as basic as this, and you're already complaining? Just wait until you start making more complicated pills in the future.""It's alright. I'll pay."Mattimeo took out two mid-grade spirit stones and handed them over. Afterward, he visited several other stores to purchase the remaining items he needed before returning to the

"Gia, are you insinuating that he harmed me before?"Gia immediately started fidgeting. Her fingers tightened around her skirt as she tugged at it nervously before finally looking up at Mattimeo."I mean... he used to bully you sometimes, especially whenever your father, the Duke, was away from the mansion.""Is that so?"Mattimeo stood with his hands at his sides, staring directly into her eyes.Gia couldn't meet his gaze. Her eyes darted away, and she hurried back to the line almost immediately.Mattimeo shook his head and walked away.Confused by what had just happened, Mia quickly chased after him.It wasn't long before news of Mattimeo registering for the tournament spread throughout the entire Ravenshire clan mansion and even beyond its walls."Richard, I heard that the future Duke and clan leader of the Ravenshire clan has registered for your clan tournament."A young man dressed in flowing green robes spoke with a grin.The young man in purple robes frowned, setting down his w

"Young Master!"The moment Mia saw Mattimeo, she forgot every grudge she had been holding against him and threw herself into his arms."Mia."Mattimeo smiled and wrapped his arms around her."Where did you go without telling anyone? I was so worried about you," she said, her voice filled with concern."I left a letter on my pillow. I thought you'd find it while cleaning my room," he explained."I'm not the one who cleaned your room these past few days. I contracted a skin disease and was banned from going inside your room. I only came out of seclusion yesterday, and when I cleaned your room this morning, there was no letter. It was probably thrown away by whoever cleaned it."Mattimeo finally understood why she had never seen it.As they made their way back toward his room, something caught his attention when they passed the training grounds."There are more people training than usual. Is something going on?" he asked curiously."Did you forget, Young Master? The clan tournament for t

"That cripple had gone missing again. Always finding ways to waste clan resources," Edward muttered as he stood by the window, watching people rush back and forth across the clan grounds.Alfred sat quietly in a chair across from the table."Roland is going to the Great Fay Forest," he said."I hope he goes deeper and dies in there. Bastard."Alfred remained silent.A full minute passed before he finally spoke."Has there been any reply from the Second Prince?""No. But don't worry. I'm sure he's just being cautious right now and still hopes to win Roland over. Soon enough, he'll realize he has no choice but to come to me for help," Edward said confidently."Maybe he just thinks you're not capable," Alfred muttered under his breath.Edward heard him."What did you just say?"He turned sharply, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto Alfred."I'm not saying you're weak. I'm saying maybe that's what he thinks. Those are two different things.""Get out. Now! I'll tell you when I get a rep

"No, my prince. The person I sent wasn't able to convince him. He was adamant about supporting the Crown Prince," the man with the goatee replied.The prince drove the knife he had been idly playing with into the table."That bastard!" he snarled. "What does he really want? I'm ready to give him anything, yet he still refuses!"His jaw tightened, and the veins in his neck bulged with frustration."Duke Roland is extremely loyal to your father, so his loyalty to the throne is well known. Since your father has already crowned your brother, that loyalty naturally extends to him. He's not a man who can be easily bought with money," the goateed man replied.The prince's eyes darted as he considered the situation."He's a powerful man, one of the most capable Dukes in Kharoth, and a passionate one at that. If I had managed to bring him to my side, it would have been a tremendous boost."A heavy sigh escaped him."I'll think of something later."He yanked the knife free and resumed twirling

Mattimeo nearly lost control at the last moment.The cauldron lid shot into the air with a loud bang, and a sharp wave of pain exploded inside his head."Argh!"His vision blurred.The world spun.His legs gave out beneath him, and he crashed onto the ground, clutching his head as a terrible headache tore through his mind.The man reacted instantly.His hand shot into the air and caught something before it could fall.When he opened his palm, three pills rested there.His eyes widened.Three pills.Their smooth surface gleamed under the light, and their rich color was accompanied by a remarkable luster."Eighty percent purity..."His voice was barely above a whisper.For a pill this simple, he could also achieve eighty percent purity with superior materials. At his level, that wasn't difficult.But the materials Mattimeo had used were incomplete. Some ingredients had even been substituted with supplementary materials.Under those conditions, the highest purity Ezra had ever managed to
