Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

CARD SOVEREIGN: Infinite Battle Cards

“Everyone, go all out! We can kill him if we combine all our power!” The Rank 12 General roared at the billion warriors gathered behind him, their target a single young man standing alone amidst the battlefield. “Power Surge! Fury Rise!” The world trembled. Billions of attacks erupted simultaneously, each carrying enough destructive power to annihilate cities and shatter mountains. They converged upon the young man with dark raven hair and golden eyes, swallowing his figure beneath an overwhelming storm of destruction. Yet... He didn't even blink. Carl calmly reached into his deck of cards and drew a single card. The Death Card. His golden eyes glowed with a calm yet overwhelming brilliance as he slowly raised one hand toward the incoming attacks and the billion warriors behind them. Then he spoke a single sentence. “Be gone.” The next moment... The world responded. Every attack vanished. The billion warriors disappeared without leaving behind even a speck of dust. Carl lowered his hand and calmly surveyed the empty battlefield before letting out a disappointed sigh. “Another weak army...” If the heavens truly wanted him dead, they should at least send everything they had. Maybe then... He would finally be forced to fight. --- Carl was once nothing more than a slum boy with no memories of who he was or where he came from. In a world ruled by powerful Awakened, advanced technology, dangerous dungeons, and beings capable of destroying entire cities with their strength, Carl understood one simple truth... Strength was the only guarantee of survival. He didn't dream of becoming a hero. He had no grand ambition to defy the heavens. He simply wanted to become strong enough that no one could ever decide whether he lived or died. But as a child born in the slums, opportunities were scarce. Becoming an Awakened seemed like nothing more than an impossible dream... Until fate finally noticed him. A mysterious half-Awakened took an interest in Carl and introduced him to a dungeon raid. It should have been the beginning of his journey. Instead, it became a death sentence. Betrayed by the very people who brought him into the dungeon, Carl was thrown into the abyss and left to die. But fate had made one mistake. Carl didn't die. Instead, at the bottom of the abyss, something ancient awakened within him. An unknown legacy. A legacy that granted him the SUPREME BATTLE CARD DECK. A deck containing cards so terrifying that each one possessed the power to rewrite the course of history. From the moment Carl obtained the deck, his destiny changed completely. Rising from the abyss, he began his journey from the lowest point of society toward the absolute pinnacle of existence. With limitless potential to grow stronger and a battle card deck that defied every known law of common sense, Carl would never again allow himself to be betrayed, discarded, or treated as someone disposable. Those who had thrown him away would eventually regret it. Those who stood above him would eventually look up. And those who sought to erase him... Would learn exactly how terrifying the Supreme Battle Card Deck could be. But an ancient legacy of such overwhelming power could never remain unnoticed. Soon, the world would come for Carl. Then the strongest beings in the universe. Then the heavens themselves. They would scheme against him. Hunt him. Try to kill him before he could grow any further. Carl's response? Let them try. If the world wants a fight... Let them come. If the universe wants to erase him... Then give it everything it has. Because the Card Sovereign would never kneel to the heavens. He would never become someone's pawn. And he would never allow himself to be discarded again. After all... As long as one card remains unplayed, the game is not over.

SCP Foundation: The Sickly Girl Who Controls S-Class Witches

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."
