Oops! The foolish real young master had run away!!! The title of the book… Micah had everything anyone could possibly envy, a gentle mother, a supportive father, and two doting older sisters. His family business dominated the capital with its high-technology products, and he was raised with a silver spoon from birth. Life was perfect. Until one day everything crumbled when a young man appeared, claiming to be the real young master. The classic case of swapped at birth… Panicked and heartbroken, Micah, the fake heir, fought desperately to hold onto his family and fortune. From Bad-mouthing and spreading rumours to initiating misplaced hatred toward the real young master, he plotted financial pitfalls and implicated his family business in progress. Not to mention his backstabbing and selling the classified information to a rival company. “What the actual f..?” Micah stared at the book, seething with anger. He was practically a villain out of a melodrama. He would never be like that! Which vengeful ghost had written this book?! “Where is my knife?!” He needed to show this so-called author the true meaning of vengeance! Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs! How could they torment the cheerful sunny Shou and twist him into an obedient meek little puppet just to satisfy their sick desires?! “I, Micah Ramsy, swear to protect my new brother from those psychos and hungry wolves!” Thus begins the journey of the fake heir, hell-bent on keeping those scums away from his sweet brother.

Renan Stone died alongside the world's final champions, crushed beneath the Dark One's infinite power. After years of bloodshed, after Earth merged with the realm of Masteria, everything was lost. Yet somehow, death wasn't the end. Renan awoke in the past, waking up silently in his room, before the release of the game. Everything thinks Masteria Online is just an advanced VRMMO. Renan knows the truth. He has one chance to rewrite fate. Armed with years of knowledge, Renan will dominate Masteria Online from day one. But even that isn't enough. He must cultivate the players into a formidable force, bolster the "NPC" natives, and foil the Dark One's plans at every turn. The Dark One has schemed for a thousand years. Renan has only a few years of experience. It was time for him to shatter a God's perfect plan.

Jiang Li first met Liang Zhou Yue while she was uncomfortably dressed in a gown, hiding in his resting room to adjust her attire. Seeing him, she became so nervous that she couldn't pull up the zipper, her embarrassment palpable. That day, Jiang Li felt an unusual tug at his heartstrings and helped her with the zipper twice. Upon their next encounter, he was the campus prince, and she was everyone's darling. He played basketball on the field, while she, in her flowing dress, sat in her boyfriend's passenger seat. It was then that Jiang Li understood he had to see things through to the bitter end. To seize love forcefully, to take advantage of her vulnerability. After all, such a beautiful woman should naturally belong to him. Liang Zhou Yue never thought she would be liked by a man five years her junior. He was rebellious, cold, proud, and remote, but he always responded to her every request. On a hot summer day, Liang Zhou Yue was stopped by a downpour at the entrance of the teaching building, with swirling filthy water and sludge on the steps below. As she worried about how to return to her dorm, a man's rigid spine bent in front of her. Jiang Li's tone was always so languid, casually stirring distress: "Sister, I'm afraid you're scared. I especially came to carry you home today." In that moment, Jiang Li, who had never gotten close to a girl before, submitted to her before everyone.

Six years ago, Amelia Gray fled Gatham City in disgrace; pregnant and rejected by both her biological and adoptive families. Now she’s returned as a celebrated surgeon, accompanied by her three brilliant six-year-old children. Yet the mystery of her pregnancy remains the one puzzle she can’t solve, with no memory of that fateful night. When she takes on a lucrative offer to treat Alan Blake, the formidable CEO of Blake Enterprises, Amelia ends up living next door to the most powerful man in Gatham City. Confined to a wheelchair after a tragic accident, Alan is used to controlling everyone and everything, except his new doctor, whose defiance challenges him, and whose ruby-scented perfume awakens memories he can’t quite place. As sparks fly between the icy CEO and his headstrong physician, three genius children launch Operation “Mom’s Happiness.” After all, who better to ask than the man whose DNA they just tested?

Mani had a lot of secrets. Hiding in his office, he pretended to be someone he was not until his safe space disappeared in a day. Coworkers that he ignored for years pulled him along to participate in saving their world. None of them knew what they were doing, yet they marched forward together. Once out of his shell Mani stepped into the greatest adventure of his life. (Included: mature topics of young adults self discovery, middle age identity crisis, and senior citizen moonshine addiction. Consider yourself warned.) *** Mani swirled pink liquid in his cup "This is called a moonshine right? Moonshine.. it should not make us blind right?" he drank it while still pondering pros and cons of drinking it in their current situation. "Well, did not make me blind," Yax offered his expert opinion "and I've been pilfering it from my dad since like.." he really could not remember, seemed like forever already. He reached to get another bottle and tumbled all the empty ones to the ground. Cid pulled him back by his shoulder "Sit down, I'll do it." he refilled Yax's cup on the right and Mani's cup on the left, then filled his own in the middle. With closed eyes, he enjoyed strawberry aroma wafting up from this holy drink. Mani bravely emptied his cup "Did we really saw it back there" he whispered from left "it was so much bigger than.." he trailed off in search of proper example. "Yep, we saw it" Yax's answer came from the right "it was absolutely huge." Mani leaned over Cindy and looked at Yax seriously "Do you think we will need magic to move it?" He did bring along his beads. Yax also leaned over to give his most serious answer "Naah, it should have an engine somewhere in there to move it. I heard" he looked around carefully and whispered so only Mani could hear "my dad said it's technology so ancient that it was sealed away, to keep it safe. It's better than magic." At the other side of their campfire, Ivory huffed while trying to snatch last bottle of holy moonshine from Jone who gently pushed him back while seriously stating "All technology at certain point starts resembling magic to those who do not understand it." "Hear, hear" Blaze confirmed from his spot on the ground with one hand waving up and showing a peace sign for some reason. Next to him, twins were out and snoring already. Mani pursed his lips and looked up into the sky. He could not see any real moonshine, leaves blocked the sky, but it should still be up there somewhere. He still hoped to get some magic, it would be awesome to get some real superpowers. He hiccuped, while leaning on Cindy next to him. Well, he kinda did have some already, or those do not count? Yax leaned fully on Cid, snuggling. He had to admit some parts were rather mystical. Like this holy potion. Or Mani. Mani was most definitely something magical. But he is not going to say it. And no one can know what he thinks to himself. He grinned, satisfied by himself and his skill to keep secrets. Squished between two drunks, Cid rolled his eyes, there goes Yax, spilling the beans to whoever wants to listen his 'secret thoughts'. Not like anyone was sober enough to pay any attention. "Time to end this party." Cid said while standing up and dragging Yax towards the tent he shared with Ivory. "Tomorrow is another day where we have to rise up and do our best to save the world." Even though he knew that all they were saving is themselves. And their friends. Well, that is his whole world, really. The forest was silent, darkness was endless, beasts were hiding. With closed eyes and half asleep, Blaze was sure that he can hear gods above laughing, louder and louder from that abyss they call home. ...___...
