PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

Moonshine made me blind to this pyramid scheme

"There was lots of moonshine, of both visible and liquid kind. Some casual blindness, a bit for facts and a bit for logic. Naturally there was a pyramid as well, as all good stories need one at minimum. Schemes were what started it all. Once upon a time, as if it was a fairy tale." Mani mused between hiccups, but then got interrupted by Yax flipping their table "It's not a fairy tale! I did not sign up for no friggin fantasy! It's a proper science fiction! Sci-fi! With technology and stuff.." Cid pulled him down by his shoulder "Sit down! Look what mess you made.." and then started cleaning it up without a second thought. Ivory giggled while trying to snatch another bottle from Jone who 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 floor 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. There was no moon, just gazillions of stars twinkling in a chorus of light. He will stick to it being magic. It's not like what he thinks can change anything. He hiccuped again. Yax settled down and got another bottle of whatever was brewed in this batch. 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. Next to him, 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 attention. "Time to end this party." He 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 he did not believe it any more. The jungle was endless, beasts were fierce, and gods above were laughing louder and louder from that abyss they call home.

Journey of the Nature’s Heir

In a universe where countless worlds and realms are woven together by the Deity’s divine essence, there exists an artifact of unimaginable power—the Ring of the Deity. Created at the dawn of time, it holds the ability to shape reality itself, control cosmic forces, and maintain the delicate balance between light and darkness. For millennia, the ring lay hidden, its power dormant, awaiting the arrival of the one destined to wield it. On a small, inconspicuous planet, far from the heart of the Deity's realm, a sixteen-year-old boy unknowingly stands on the precipice of destiny. Born into an ordinary world, the Deity’s life takes a fateful turn when the ring, lost to the cosmos long ago, descends from the heavens and lands on his planet. This event sets into motion a chain of occurrences that will change the course of the universe forever. As the Deity discovers the incredible power of the ring, he learns that he is the chosen heir, a being selected by the Deity to restore balance and protect the cosmos from an impending catastrophe. But the ring is not just a symbol of power—it is the key to unlocking his true potential and transforming into a being of immense strength and knowledge. With the ring, the Deity is thrust into a world beyond his comprehension, filled with ancient secrets, forgotten realms, and dangerous adversaries who will stop at nothing to claim the ring for themselves. As the Deity embarks on his journey, he must face not only external threats but also the internal struggle of understanding his true identity and the burden of his role as the universe’s protector. With each step, the boy grows stronger, more capable, and closer to realizing his destiny: to become the God of the Universe, the embodiment of balance and creation. However, this journey is not without sacrifice. As the Deity learns to wield the powers of the ring, he will be forced to confront the very nature of existence itself, questioning the cost of ultimate power and the true meaning of his mission. Along the way, he encounters allies who guide him, enemies who challenge him, and the ever-present mystery of the Deity’s will, which seems to be unfolding in ways he cannot yet understand. In Journey of the Nature’s Heir: The Beginning Volume 1, the Deity’s adventure is just beginning. His transformation from a naive boy to the universe's savior will take him through cosmic battles, spiritual awakenings, and the discovery of the boundless potential within him. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance, and only by embracing his destiny can the Deity hope to prevent the unraveling of existence.
