the price of freedom short story

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?”

Felix Ariel, a typical Floridian, found himself transported to a mysterious kingdom in another world. However, a misunderstanding led to Felix accidentally killing the king, resulting in his untimely demise. Following this tragic event, Felix's spirit encountered a mysterious being who identified as Felix's ancestor. This entity claimed that Felix had been cursed by an unknown individual. For Felix's safety, the ancestor bestowed upon him a system for self-defense. Upon returning to Earth, Felix realized that he would be transmigrated to the alternate world at noon due to the lingering curse. To prepare for this unexpected transmigration, Felix relied on the system, which required him to gather oil and gold to enhance his abilities. Thus began Felix's quest in the other world. With his system, he brought firearms and an ambition to spread liberty... for prosperity and freedom. ... Author's note: I got burnt out after trying to write a serious, action-packed story. So, I guess I'll return to what I do best: writing a stupid comedy novel. Again, this is a satire story. Expect memes and stereotypes. Don't take anything seriously. Lastly, this story takes place after Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World. The MC is Leo's descendant. You don't need to read the previous novel to understand this story, but those who have will enjoy some easter eggs.

The world of Deva is a place where geniuses rise and fall every day and only those with extreme luck can survive. George is a naive poor boy who grew up not knowing the horrors of the world. After being thrust from one situation to another again and again, he learned that there is no escape to being used by others. With no backing and no one to look after him, George will strive further and further until he can be free of the influence of the world. In a perfect world this would be the story of him climbing over every single person to become the sole strongest, but life doesn't work that way. There will always be those who stand in his way, even those he's known since the beginning of his journey. Alex is a former noble abandoned by his family. From a young age he has always had a sadistic streak, but that apparent flaw of his ended up leading him to his destiny. Alex and George. These two will continue to clash and take away from each other until there only one thing remains. Their lives. George raised his red sword that had been his companion for years on years, and uttered one word. "Flash." Immediately, thunder struck and lightning fell from the sky, encasing him in a golden glow. Golden armor formed around his body, his sword turned to black lightning and his eyes went black. He gazed at Alex who stood far away, and breathed out a challenge. "Come. Today, we will end this." Alex didn't respond, but raised his twin black daggers that were so jagged that they looked like they would tear through anything. He too narrowed his eyes and spoke. "Monarch of the Night." This is the story of how it came to be, and how it will end. I would like it if any potential readers would read the first fifty chapters before deciding whether the book is good or not. The story gets better the more you read. ----------------------------- Check out my NEW book Primordial's Champions.

Novel PSA: Moved to Royal Road, and relaunching under Free Yet Chained on August 1st 2025 Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. Chased indefinitely while the tunnel of freedom's infinite journey is constantly filled with rubble you need to destroy. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the one thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Death… After two years of meandering the currents of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. New world, new body, randomly “gifted” the power of flight after months of meditation — a perfect interpretation of freedom, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? And what in the God’s is up with that reverse whirlpool this kingdom revolves around? —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life
