DEADLY PROTECTOR

Kidnapped at sixteen and returned to a life wrapped in wealth and surveillance, she grows up protected to the point of suffocation. At twenty-one, she is allowed freedom only in carefully measured doses like running a small publishing House, controlled outings, and two bodyguards who never leave her side. Sleep is fragile. Peace is temporary. When a panic-driven mistake brings her into the orbit of Alaric Voss, a man who thrives on control and silence, nothing about him resembles safety. He does not offer comfort. He does not explain. He does not soften. Alaric trains private security personnel for his fathers private security company and lives by rules that leave no room for emotion. When Alana asks him to teach her how to defend herself, he agrees under conditions as cold as his gaze: be early, be disciplined, or walk away. As her training sharpens her body, it also exposes truths neither of them are willing to name. Outside the dojo, a powerful figure from her past resurfaces, a man who believes ownership can be claimed, and that some debts are inherited. Caught between protection that cages her and strength that demands everything, Alana must decide whether learning to fight is enough or if reclaiming herself will cost more than she is ready to give. This is not a love story about rescue. Its about war in corporate society. war in love It is about restraint. trauma. healing. vicious circles that are deadly. About fear. A story of when a man who does not bend under any pressure meets what he hates. Definition of weakness. Yet he can't turn away. He fights his own demons daily without submitting and in his word fragility had no space. Yet he can't look away from the very picture of what he despises

Reborn As Corporate Emperor: Cakravartin System

Aryan was the "Golden Boy" of the Indian tech scene—until the people he trusted most cut his throat. In a sterile boardroom in Mumbai, his best friend and his lead investor didn't just fire him; they stripped him of his dignity, his shares, and his life’s work. As his heart failed under the crushing weight of their greed, Aryan realized the truth: In the world of modern business, being a "good founder" is just another way of saying you're a "good lamb." But the universe isn't finished with him. Aryan wakes up ten years in the past, back in 2016. He’s broke, he’s in a tiny apartment, and he’s holding a cracked laptop. But this time, he isn't alone. A glowing, imperial interface hovers in the air—the [Chakravartin Business System]. The System offers him a path that no MBA could ever teach. It grants him the strategies of the Gupta Empire, the legendary "Golden Age" of India. To win, Aryan must stop playing by the rules of Silicon Valley and start playing by the rules of Emperors. He must hunt down the Ten Gems—the SSR-tier geniuses hidden in the shadows of the corporate world. A disgraced architect of code, a ruthless master of logistics, a legendary keeper of the mint—together, they will form his Imperial Council. But building an empire costs more than money. Aryan is haunted by the memories of his future: the face of the woman he loved who was forced to marry his rival, the family he neglected, and the crushing loneliness of power. Can he build his "Pataliputra" without becoming the very monster who killed him? Every decision is a gamble. Every contract is a battlefield. As Aryan’s influence grows, his enemies from the future begin to notice a "ghost" in the market—a shadow player who knows their every move before they make it. The Paper Kings are gathering their armies. The corporate siege is coming. Will Aryan unite the "Four Quarters" of the market, or is he destined to die in a boardroom once again? Why You Need to Read This: * The "Face-Slapping": Watch arrogant billionaire heirs get dismantled by ancient strategies they don't understand. * The System Mechanics: Recruiting "SSR-Tier" employees and leveling up an entire company like a character in an RPG. * The Emotional Core: A man struggling to fix the mistakes of his past life while trying to survive the cutthroat present. * The Knowledge: Every chapter reveals a secret of the "Gupta Playbook"—real business tactics used by history's greatest rulers.

Legacy NO.9

Heldrix Beauséjour died at fifty years old on a street corner, thirty years after a girl lied and a jury believed her. Ten years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, then twenty more as a ghost nobody would hire, while the football career that could have been his burned to ash before it ever started, but the truth came out too late. She confessed on national television while he bled out on cold pavement, struck by a truck he never saw coming. His last words were a wish. **|WISH ACKNOWLEDGED.|** **|REGRESSION PROCESS INITIATED.|** He opens his eyes at nineteen years old. March 15th, 2026, at a party, in a bedroom, with the girl who destroyed his life straddling him and tearing her own shirt to frame him for assault, but this time he knows what's coming. This time he screams first. **|CRITICAL MISSION: ESCAPE FALSE ACCUSATION.|** **|STATUS: COMPLETE.|** **|WELCOME TO THE LEGACY SYSTEM.|** Heldrix Beauséjour, Pau FC Academy striker, with an overall rating of 53—barely good enough to survive the academy and nowhere near professional standard, yet he brought something impossible back with him. Thirty-one years of obsessive football knowledge from watching every match he could find while rotting in obscurity, and a system that tracks every movement in real-time. **|Current Rating: 53/99.|** **|Finishing: 51. Speed: 58. Jump: 46.|** **|Pathetic by professional standards.|** **|SYSTEM: "With those stats, I don't even know how you are still at the academy."|** The system doesn't grant instant power-ups or manipulate time, but it will make him unstoppable, because every training session earns stat points while every match pushes limits, and the grind never stops until he reaches the top. **|QUEST COMPLETE: 100 SHOTS ON TARGET.|** **|REWARD: +2 SP.|** **|FINISHING: 51 → 52.|** From the bottom of Pau FC Academy to Ligue 2 breakthrough, while critics call him a fluke and rivals call him lucky, but Heldrix knows the truth. Hard work beats talent when talent stops working. **|OVERALL RATING: 60 → 70 → 80.|** **|Elite Player Status Achieved.|** From Pau FC to top European clubs, where Champions League nights become reality and the Ballon d'Or podium gets closer with every season, and the world starts asking where this unknown striker came from. Nobody knows he's already thirty-nine years old. **|OVERALL RATING: 85 → 92 → 99.|** **|GOAT Status Achieved.|** **|Mission Complete: Become the greatest footballer in history.|** They destroyed him once with lies, so they called him a criminal and a failure and threw away his future, but now, with the mind of a thirty-nine-year-old in a nineteen-year-old body and a system that rewards every drop of effort with power, Heldrix will rewrite football history.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘,从入门到地下室 The original author is EEEEE然后亮标 Please support them! === To all trainers: throughout your tenure, please never harbor or expose even the slightest notion of romance. Relationships are strictly forbidden—whether among colleagues or between trainers and Uma Musume. At all times, maintain appropriate distance from everyone. Never proactively invite Uma Musume to meals. If one invites you, find an excuse and politely decline. Do not pat heads! Do not touch horse ears! Do not touch tails! When going to sleep at night, ensure your doors and windows are locked. If you hear doors being torn down or the screams of your colleagues, do not leave your room. Immediately call campus security and remain inside until the authorities handle the situation. If an Uma Musume confesses feelings to you, politely decline without showing irritation or excitement. Play dumb! Always pretend you didn't understand! Afterward, promptly apply for campus protection. If necessary, the academy may arrange for your discreet resignation. If you happen to be a handsome male trainer, charming in speech, gentle (yasashii), and obviously attractive to the opposite sex—resign immediately. It's not discrimination; you simply do not belong here. If you insist on staying, the dark basement will inevitably be your only fate. Mizuno Sora looked at his evaluation of Appearance S, Scent S, and Voice S, and began to struggle inwardly. #Umamusume #Uma Musume #Pretty Derby

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Ten Meters

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘:从被撞飞十米开始 The original author is 百升飞上天 Please support them! === Many years later, holding the Lifetime Achievement Award in his hands, Yasui Makoto would still vividly recall that afternoon—when he was knocked ten meters through the air by an Uma Musume. At the time, Makoto had only possessed his official trainer license from the Central Academy for a few months. Perhaps due to his obvious lack of experience, he was repeatedly turned down by prospective trainees. After yet another rejection from an Uma Musume, he was feeling somewhat dazed. As he stood at a crosswalk waiting for the traffic light, Makoto saw a small child about to be struck by a vehicle. Without hesitation, he dashed forward. He successfully saved the child— —but he himself was sent flying. Not by the car. But by an Uma Musume with short black hair, red eyes, and a dark tail. Thanks to rigorous self-training from a young age, drawing on experience from his previous life, Makoto instinctively corrected his posture mid-air, thus avoiding serious injury despite being caught completely off guard. The Uma Musume, however, was clearly terrified. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you okay?!” “My-my name is Kitasan Black! I'm a freshman this year at Tracen Academy! Please take care of me!” “I-I… Anyway, I—I promise to take full responsibility!” That was what the flustered “culprit Uma Musume” named Kitasan Black said at the time. [Note: Certain occupations and roles of Uma Musume have been slightly adapted, and the world-building has been expanded. Apart from this, historical accuracy remains intact, ensuring no disruption to original fans' enjoyment.] [Readers unfamiliar with the original series can enjoy this simply as a sports-themed slice-of-life campus story.] [Kitasan Black features prominently in the early stages, with Haru Urara joining later. Other notable Uma Musume, such as Almond Eye and Daiwa Scarlet, will also be considered as the story progresses.]
