Fantôme

Mother-in-law,“ Divorce my daughter, you, useless poverty dog! I have found better men for her, you never deserve her in the first place!” Jaden Reed:“ Divorce? If you truly want to divorce your daughter, then do me a favor and ask Vera to tell me by herself that she wants to divorce me because she's fed up with the marriage and not you or any other member of this family forcing her. Can you do that?" Wife:“ I am sick and tired of your life of poverty and need someone better who is willing to take care of me. I want a divorce now. You've been the family slave for years so it won't be right that you leave this house empty-handed, so I'll give you a check of 1 million dollars as a map...." Jaden Reed left the house with tears in his eyes, on his way a phone call from overseas came in. "Young Master Reed, the contracts are ready! With over 50 billion, the once useless son-in-law becomes the consortium’s legatee.

My fantasy that evening was not a tranquil one. It was completely dark inside my head aside from the many air pockets drifting upwards with no sparkle or reflection, just dead circles. I was befuddled right away yet then, at that point, bigger air pockets gradually rose among the other, more modest ones and inside were pack mates. "You might turn into an omicron, or a pi, or far and away more terrible, an omega," I shuddered when I saw Draugluin's irate face as he counted down the positions as though my life's worth would as it were decline. «You want to be so presumptuous since you climbed in rank?" An air pocket of Draco's scowling face materialized with disdain filled eyes before he suddely vanished, passing on me without an opportunity to counter. "A powerless Xi like you," Another air pocket rose with Draugluin's pompous smile as he peered down on me. Stop I heard my powerless voice shout out among the vacant air pockets. "You are pointless as well," the rebel wolf chortled. "She would not fall back when she was told to," Lyall's enraged face frightened me. Lyall had never been so cross with me forthright where he'd place me down before Alpha however, that snapshot of selling out was agonizing yet not undeserving. It makes perfect sense to me, I yelled, however there was no reaction. "For what reason didn't you simply pass on it to the people," Auntie Mona had her arms crossed, a look of dismay all over.

I saw a small figure of a young boy running away from us in the distance.A wolf stood in the boy's shadow.However, this wolf was enormous.It had a head as big as a bear's and stood five feet tall at the top of the hump. It had pale grey fur.The boy was being chased by a worg, not a wolf.The boy had a good lead, but the massive worg's strides would quickly reduce that lead.In a split second, I made up my mind.I made a hasty dash for the boy.Lisa was also moving quickly, and she was following me.However, looking back, she faltered.I was aware that she has not yet regained her strength.Regardless, I turned back to the boy who was still running straight at me and said, "This way!Come to me!The young man gave me a nod and fled as quickly as he could.However, I was aware that the boy would be overtaken by the worg before I could even miss him by a few feet.I raised my arm back and pulled out my hatchet.Duck!”I let the hatchet fly as soon as the boy fell.

I, LONG ZHENTIAN......... was always called a jinx. After my adoptive parents died, the Azure Dragon Hall merely tolerated my presence until I awakened a peerless Indigo Spirit Root. Instead of earning their respect, my extraordinary talent rewarded me with a stab in the back by my own Senior Brother. Stripped of my cultivation foundation and thrown into the Forbidden Demon Ocean to rot, I learned that some waters do not consume the broken, but reforge them. Carrying the primordial weight of a forgotten universe within my me, I am finally returning to the surface world. The arrogant empires that built their glory upon my suffering will soon watch their supreme heavens fall.

At the dawn of the journey of my life I found myself within a dark forest. In a world where violence was common, and with a destiny that wanted me dead.

My name is Carl. I used to be a secret agent of the FOX. Five years ago, I and my best friend Rex successfully carried out a mission to stop a group of invisible terrorists who wanted to destroy our nation. We succeeded in liberating the nation from the shackles of the terrorists. But I never knew it would cause a total turn around in my life. We thought it had ended but the battle only started. The same night we were supposed to celebrate our victory, my only child and my wife were murdered. Rex and his family were also attacked. I was shot thrice and left to die but Sheila saved me from dying and gave me a new life.

I died in the most embarrassing way possible. Slipping on body lotion after getting caught cheating in a five star hotel. When I opened my eyes, I became a 25 year old Rank F Awakener named Litchi in a world filled with dungeons, monsters, and magic. Then I awakened a System. Finally... my cheat had arrived. "System, help me." [Figure it out yourself.] It never fights for me. It never saves me. Most of its rewards are completely useless. Yet every once in a while... after the strangest quest imaginable... it suddenly hands me something powerful enough to shake the entire world. I still can't decide... Is this System helping me... or simply making fun of me?

I was born a genius numbers, logic, strategy… all of it came easy. Everything around me felt painfully plain, predictable, and boring. Even the web novels I read were the same heroes driven by emotion, not reason. Pathetic. But that all changed the night my family was slaughtered by people who weren’t even from Earth. I watched my mother’s body hit the ground. I heard my sister cry my name one last time before she was beheaded And then they said it .. “Your bloodline has to be erased.” Then came the darkness. When I opened my eyes, a glowing figure stood before me a being that called itself a remnant. It offered me a deal: a system unlike any other. The Architect System. In exchange for freeing it one day, I would gain knowledge and the power to rebuild, reshape, and destroy. I don’t know what this new world is. I don’t care about fate, destiny, or prophecies .I sure as hell don't plan to be anyone's pawn. All I know is this I will find the ones who killed my family . Hell I would even rewrite destiny if I have to . And when I’m done with them, they’ll wish they were never born.

"You are nothing without this city, and this city is done with you." My uncle's voice cut through the rain as his men threw me onto the deck of a boat headed nowhere good. I was eighteen, cut out of my father's will, and left to freeze on the harbor while men like Marcus carved up everything my family had built. Aethelgard Bay used to feel like home. Now the Iron Syndicate owns the night, and nobody with a badge or a business card does anything to stop them. The night they came for our fishing fleet, I thought that was the end of it. Then three strangers in armor dropped out of the storm and tore the raid apart before it could finish us. Their leader put something in my hand before he vanished: a keycard to a vault my father built and never told me about. It's supposed to be the key to taking my city back. So far all it's done is put a target on my back and put me in a car with the one woman in Marcus's empire I can't decide whether to trust. I'm done running from my uncle. Whatever it costs, I'm getting my family's name back.
