Amor Dói

I hated being locked up like a damsel in distress. Like I was some princess that needed constant protection, but deep down I was grateful. I was still struggling to summon my powers, so if I was attacked alone I would be defenseless. I understood why Valerian wanted me to stay confined within the walls of our home since there was a protection spell suffocating the entire atmosphere that surrounded it. But I was so bored. Valerian was not there to take me out and keep me occupied with his cocky smiles and quirky comments. The only thing I could think to do to pass the time was to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I exited out into the courtyard and walked past the beautiful wooden benches and vibrant trees. Roses of every colour confiscated the grounds and it was like I was walking through a rainbow. My fingertips caressed the petals and I inhaled the sweet scent of their exquisiteness as I walked through the trails. I was so mesmerized by the area that I didn’t realize where I was going. I gasped as I reached for the next rose in my path, and it crumbled from my touch. The rest of the walkway was filled with black and decayed roses that tumbled to the ground like ash from a horrible wildfire. My frightened eyes glared out into the distance as I realized the dead flowers led to a shadowy tunnel made from black brick. A sign barely dangling from a broken chain at the top of the entrance read ‘dungeon.’ My body cringed at the sight. This was the dark side of Valerian that I knew and wanted to avoid as much as possible.

No one came any closer to me since I began to hear voices. It was as if I possessed some kind of aura that attracted everyone, like a field that attracted people. I was either insane or a monster, which I suppose I could be, according to everyone at school. I was able to hear what others were thinking, but no one else seemed to be able to, and some of them remembered me from first grade, when everything first started. I was able to focus better on school because I was isolated, and I loved to do well in school. Since I learned how to silence the voices, at least it had. Before that, I was unable to think in light of the consistent clamor of every other person's brain pounding me constantly.

Nicole Stanton, la joven más rica del mundo, apareció secretamente en el aeropuerto, pero los paparazzis la reconocieron de inmediato. Paparazzi A: “Sra. Stanton, ¿por qué terminó su matrimonio de tres años con el Sr. Ferguson?”. Ella sonrió y dijo: “Porque tengo que heredar mi propia fortuna familiar de mil millones de dólares…” Paparazzi B: “¿Dicen que has estado saliendo con un montón de chicos en un mes, ¿verdad?” Antes de que la heredera multimillonaria pudiera hablar, una voz seria llegó desde lejos. "No, son todas noticias falsas". Eric Ferguson apareció entre la multitud. “También tengo una propiedad que vale mil millones de dólares. Sra. Stanton, ¿por qué no hereda la fortuna de mi familia?

"Kill them all...Burn it down..." Those are the words I heard echoing in my head ever since the day I woke up in Lorelei. The voice sounds familiar. I've heard it before. But would it be crazy if I said it sounded like me? Would it be crazy...if I said i remembered dying? Utterly rediculous. To repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result while changing absolutely nothing. I was the son of a Duke and a commoner in a foreign land. Through pain and suffering, I somehow managed to marry a beautiful Princess of that land. You know...after my father got eaten by a dragon. And after being locked in a dungeon and tortured by her insane sister... But none of that matters now. Because my world lies in ruins. Everyone I've ever known is dead. All except my beloved, who stands to protect me with her shield. But I don't mean to say that things have been destroyed... What I mean, is much simpler. Avernia is gone. Gone forever. Lost to the plague I called 'The Black Ooze'. But I'll avenge it. I'll kill the one responsibke for massacring my family and destroying my world. They'll regret having made an enemy out of me. Because the sword I wield is called Vengeance. The Overseer sword. The Omni-Weapon. No matter the cost...I will have vengeance. I'll kill them all. I'll burn everything down. Author's note: I sincerely hope you enjoy my work, but keep in mind that I am my own editor and I don't see everything. there might still be a few errors. Sorry! This is an original work.

Adrian Kane sat in silence as his wife’s voice sliced through the air. "You are nothing but a gold digger. Sign the damn papers, Adrian. I’m done clothing and feeding you." He stared at her, the faintest smirk playing at the corner of his lips. She didn’t know. Not about the penthouse they were standing in, not about the company logo stitched into her designer dress, his company’s logo. And definitely not about the fact that the man she’d been sleeping with had been losing millions to him for months. Adrian picked up the pen. “Oh, Selena…” he whispered, signing the papers. “You have no idea what you’ve just done.” Ten years of lies. One ruthless betrayal. And a comeback that will shatter everything. Adrian Kane spent a decade living as a nobody beside the woman he thought he loved. But when she hands him divorce papers and calls him a gold digger, she has no idea that she’s just signed her own downfall. Because Adrian isn’t poor, he’s the billionaire CEO she’s been working for, the owner of the house she lives in, and the man her new lover has been losing to for years. Now, with a new wife at his side and the truth in his hands, Adrian will dismantle the world his ex-wife thought she ruled. But in this game of power, love, and betrayal… even billionaires aren’t safe from heartbreak.

"Poor Charlie" they sneered, but little did they know he was a secret billionaire. He'd fooled them all, even his own wife. When the truth was finally revealed, the city was left in shock and disbelief. Charlie had pulled off the ultimate ruse, and he was ready to take on the world.

Charlie Wade era el yerno que todos despreciaban, pero su verdadera identidad como heredero de una familia prominente seguía siendo un secreto. ¡Juró que algún día, aquellos que lo rechazaron se arrodillarían ante él suplicando por su misericordia, eventualmente!

"Congratulations, my Heir," a mysterious figure declared, "you have proven your worth, and you're now the Heir to the God of Healing and Medicine, Elandor!" Suddenly, I found myself in excruciating pain, hanging on the edge of a hill. The figure's words barely registered, and I felt like I was forgetting something crucial. Before I could make sense of it all, I blinked, and the pain was gone. My wounds had vanished, replaced by a newfound strength. There, around my neck, hung a gemstone amulet. I gasped as the amulet shone, flooding my mind with knowledge. "In the realm of healing, I'm the ultimate arbiter of life and death. As Elandor's heir, I command over ailments and the frailty of life. I am the embodiment of healing's power and authority." As memories flooded back, I realized why I was here. Darius Blackthorn, that treacherous scoundrel, had thrown me down this hill. "I won't let you get away with this. I'll have my revenge for all the pain you caused me. I'll show those Rossi family snobs who mocked me for being poor and treated me like a live-in servant. You'll regret ever looking down on me. I'm a god's heir, and you will pay for every bit of suffering you put me through." Fueled by rage, I stood there, determined to make them all pay.

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, humanity was on the brink of extinction. I did not perish under natural disasters or fall victims to zombies, but tragically met my end at the hands of betrayal and greed from my companions. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself five years past! In that year, apocalypse had yet to arrive, and my loved ones and friends who had truly cared for me were still alive, untouched by various reasons and my indiscriminate kindness… I am determined to correct the mistakes of my previous life in this new one. There’s still time to change everything! Reborn like a phoenix, I swear that, in this life, I will rather be a leader than a follower. I will do everything in my power to ensure that I and those I care about live well. Those plutocrats who squeezed the last drop of blood from us, those corrupt leaders who treated the lives of ordinary people as worthless, those complex and greedy groups, those awakened individuals who activated their talents but remained timid and cowardly, pushing ordinary people and responsible awakeners as scapegoat—This time, I’m coming for you. I swear, I will make you crawl at my feet! In this ruined world, I will rebuild the human habitat and restore an era of peace and prosperity! I will be the creator of this new world! I will be the king of the new era! I will be the new Legend!

The sincerity I gave to the woman I loved was in vain. Like everyone else, she saw me as an embarrassment and only wanted to take advantage of me. Until I know my true identity, they won't be able to do what they did before. I will repay them with everything I have without trying because I am greater than them.
