Épouser À La Place De Quelqu'un

Dave Vogel was the perfect portrait of a loser. Born poor, orphaned at a young age, his body was weak, and his face was plain. His life was filled with bullying. No matter where he went, there was always someone ready to kick him down. No one cared about him, let alone a woman who loved him. Dave was just worthless societal trash. However, fate had other plans. Dave's helpless body was found by an old hermit who lived deep in the forest. This hermit sensed an extraordinary potential within Dave who, somehow, was capable of receiving special power. Through a mysterious process, the hermit transferred his power to Dave. A transformation occurred. Dave's thin and weak body became strong and perfect. Confused and seeking answers about his new identity, Dave decided to return to the only place he had ever called home: the orphanage where he grew up. There, he discovered a shocking truth. It turned out he wasn't alone in the world. Dave had seven older sisters. However, the happiness of finding his family didn't last long. Dave soon learned that his seven sisters were in great danger. A mysterious and ruthless organization called the Black Crow Group held a grudge against their family and was determined to destroy the lives of Dave's seven sisters one by one. They were old enemies who had now returned to terrorize them.

But in rescuing her, Lorenzo defies his bloodline and sparks a war within his own family. His older cousin Marco, head of the De Luca empire, vows revenge.

But revenge has a price — and love may be the deadliest weapon of all. Blood and Vows is a dark romantic saga of passion, loyalty, and the legacy of vengeance.

Ethan is an ordinary college student, majoring in history and leading a quiet, unremarkable life. One day, while walking home from class, he is suddenly engulfed by a mysterious portal and transported to Aetheria, a sprawling fantasy world of magic, monsters, and legendary heroes. Upon arrival, he discovers he has been summoned as a “hero” to aid the realm against an encroaching darkness. However, his magical aptitude is abysmally low, and he fails every basic test and training exercise. The other heroes and villagers quickly label him “the weakest hero”, mocking him as a liability. Desperate and confused, Ethan’s life seems doomed… until a hidden system activates. A mysterious interface appears before him, explaining: > “Your power grows through failure. Each mistake, setback, and defeat will grant you new skills or enhance your existing ones. Your strength is derived not from talent, but from resilience and perseverance.” With this strange rule in place, Ethan begins to experiment. At first, his failures are laughably pathetic: falling off training cliffs, accidentally triggering explosions, or summoning useless monsters. Yet, each failure brings surprising growth: a missed spell suddenly evolves into a devastating magical combo, a botched sword swing awakens latent elemental energy, or a misstep in stealth unlocks precognition. As he slowly accumulates a patchwork of bizarre yet powerful abilities, Ethan’s reputation shifts from the weakest hero to a legendary wildcard, a hero who seems to defy logic and overwhelm enemies in the most unexpected ways.

Adrian Vale has spent most of his life learning how to be invisible. As a scholarship student surrounded by wealth, he endures quiet humiliation, borrowed dignity, and the unspoken rule that people like him are meant to stay small. He works harder, speaks less, and lowers his gaze not because he lacks pride, but because survival demands it. When his girlfriend betrays him for a richer man and his classmates turn his struggle into entertainment, Adrian reaches what should have been his breaking point. Instead, something impossible happens. A single transaction changes everything. Behind the life of scarcity Adrian has always known lies a truth carefully hidden from him: he is the heir to a powerful business empire. Wealth he never touched. Power he never asked for. A legacy withheld to protect him. But money does not erase humiliation. Even after the truth begins to surface, Adrian is still doubted, dismissed, and challenged by a world that refuses to believe someone like him could belong at the top. Rather than announcing his rise, he chooses silence. Rather than chasing revenge, he lets systems, institutions, and authority expose the people who underestimated him. As Adrian steps from campus life into the ruthless world of business, he must learn that power attracts enemies far more dangerous than bullies, and that restraint can be more devastating than rage. While some who once mocked him seek forgiveness, others double down, determined to pull him back into the place they believe he belongs.

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.
