Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash? She became a supreme Talisman Practitioner! Marry a beggar? The wealthy heirs in Brookvale lined up to wed her! Die in the hands of a roadside ghost? The specters in the ghost zones trembled upon hearing her name! Poor mutt? Heh! Her business empire earned her billions of dollars every single month! Even her past life’s moonlight was shamelessly flirting with her! Lana never thought that her past life's misery was orchestrated by a schemer, neither she thought that her luck was stolen away by the docile lovable daughter of the Almond family. In this life, she vowed to live a thriving life and protect her luck. She fought off ghosts haunting her world while fighting the mysterious forces. .......................................................................................... Extract “Mister, I feel a connection with you. Would you like to adopt me?” Lana fluttered her eyelashes while gazing at the handsome young man with lustrous black hair. Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................

THE PRINCE AT MILDERN DUKE HALL MANOR! - (The Nation of Gamatose Arc)

THE PRINCE AT MILDERN DUKE HALL MANOR Volume II — The Nation of Gamatose Arc Series Description Three years after the world almost ended, Mildern Yazukaze is nineteen and trying to be something other than what he was. He holds a seat on the Council of Eight. He drinks tea before dawn. He has learned, painfully and incrementally, that staying is harder than running and more worth doing. The child he found in his forest three years ago is eleven now and attends the Academy and has finally, on a quiet gold-lit morning, told Mildern his name. Saku Fedo. Two words that cost three years of patience and mean more than either of them says out loud. It should be enough. For a while, it almost is. Then a traveling noble with grey eyes and a white coat starts appearing in merchant district back rooms across the Noble City, making trades that end one way regardless of whether the other party holds up their end. Clean work. Efficient. The kind of violence that leaves structural damage in stone walls and bodies that investigators spend a long time trying to explain. Lord Fenrath, they call him. Eastern territories. Vague affiliation. Nobody who matters. He is not nobody. Beneath the white coat and the aristocratic contempt and the perfect stillness of a person pretending to have a pulse, something else entirely is waiting. Something that was built from grief and rage and a dead king's unresolved wrong. Something powered by an immortal core that no weapon in the known world can touch. Something that has Mildern Yazukaze's name on a piece of paper and has been patient about it for a very long time. Gamatose Hazuki was the First King of Garudore — a fantastic king, a beloved ruler, a father weeks away from watching his eldest son get married. His kingdom was peaceful. His people loved him. His friendship with the Yazukaze royal family was genuine and years-long and real. Then the Yazukaze army arrived without warning and burned everything he loved to the ground. He died in his throne room believing his friend had betrayed him. He died not knowing the invasion was built on forged letters and manufactured evidence by a seventeen year old named Hanuto Yama — the younger brother of the Hollow Prince, never revealed, never suspected, patient in ways his theatrical older brother never was. Hanuto needed two kingdoms destroyed and one bloodline broken and a dead king's rage pointed in exactly the right direction, and he built all three with the quiet precision of someone who has never once needed to be in the room when the damage lands. The soul that didn't pass on. The body that was built for it. The core that cannot be killed. What Gamatose has become is hunting the last Yazukaze across a Noble City that doesn't know what is walking its streets, and somewhere in the machinery of that hunting is a truth neither of them has been given yet — that the prince Gamatose wants dead was eight years old when Garudore fell, and innocent of everything, and is carrying guilt about it anyway because that is simply what Mildern Yazukaze does with things he had no power over. This is Volume II. It is bloodier than what came before. It is darker in the specific way that rooms are dark when the monster has a family portrait folded in its heart and holds it with more care than it holds anything else. It is the story of a dead king who deserved better, a mastermind who has been three moves ahead since before Mildern was old enough to understand the game, and two people — a prince who stopped running and a kid who finally said his name out loud — standing in the path of something that was never supposed to be their problem and refusing, as they always do, to move.

Undressed By The Mafia God

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.
