Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

"A Rejected Omega, A Dark Alpha Prince and their twisted dangerous fate." Amelie Conley, the eldest daughter of a revered Alpha family, was once expected to carry on her family’s proud legacy. However, when she turned sixteen, she failed to awaken her wolf, which made her earn the scornful title—the Curse of the Conley Family. At eighteen, she found her destined mate and carried his child, believing she had finally been given a chance at happiness. But when she rushed to share the news, she found him in a compromising position with her younger sister, Flora. Betrayal cut deeper than any wound, but the final blow came when he rejected her without hesitation, declaring Flora as his true mate. Shunned and heartbroken, Amelie made the painful decision to leave her pack for the sake of her unborn child. But just as she tried to escape, she was ambushed—hunted down like prey. Desperate to protect herself and the life growing inside her, Amelie fled to save herself and her unborn child, only to collapse into the arms of an enigmatic stranger—Gabriel Sinclair. Gabriel was no ordinary man. He was the Alpha Prince, a name feared across the nation. For twelve long years, he had scoured the lands for his mate, only to find nothing. He had convinced himself that the Moon Goddess despised him, just as his own mother had. But the moment he laid eyes on Amelie, everything changed. "You were marked, weren't you?" His voice dropped, edged with something dangerously close to possession as his gaze met hers, demanding the truth.  The question left Amelie in a dilemma. She didn't wish to tell him the truth. "I am not an ordinary wolf, Amelie. Who the fuck marked you before me?" Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

When Chen Sheng dies from cancer on Earth, he never expected to be reborn as an abandoned prince in the world of Douluo Continent. Born as the illegitimate son of the Star Luo Empire's Emperor and a humble maid, his fate seemed sealed when his dying mother promised the Empress that her child would never compete for the throne. Yet even this promise wasn't enough—the paranoid Empress ordered his elimination, leading to his abandonment in the remote Saint Spirit Village. Raised by the kind-hearted Old Jack, Chen Sheng grows up alongside the Tang San, carrying the wisdom of two lifetimes but lacking any supernatural advantages. That changes on his sixth birthday when he awakens not only his martial soul but also the mysterious **Emotions Fortune System**—a unique cheat that rewards him with treasure chests whenever he causes emotional disturbances in others. Every fear he instills, every admiration he earns, every heart he breaks or mends becomes a source of power. From techniques and bloodlines to martial soul evolutions and soul rings, even things from other dimensions Chen Sheng's growth depends on his ability to manipulate the emotional landscape around him. But unlike typical villains, his approach is strategic and multifaceted—sometimes protective, sometimes ruthless, always calculated. As he rises from an abandoned village boy to one of the continent's most formidable powers, Chen Sheng attracts attention from all corners of the Douluo world: --- *Xiao Wu: "Chen Sheng-gege is amazing! Even Tang San admits." *Zhu Zhuqing: "I choose him as my husband. When he looks at me, I don't see pity for a 'caged bird'—I see acknowledgment of an equal. That's worth more than any imperial bloodline." *Ning Rongrong: *"Daddy always said I needed someone strong enough to protect me and brave enough to stand up to me. Chen Sheng does both without breaking a sweat! Plus, he's the only person in my heart." *Hu Liena: "He's dangerous in all the best ways. Master says he's too unpredictable to be a true ally of Spirit Hall, but I think that's exactly what makes him perfect. Who wants a predictable man anyway?" *Tang San: *"Chen Sheng... he's both my greatest rival and most trusted friend. I can't figure out how he always seems to know exactly what I'm thinking, but I'm grateful he chooses to stand with us rather than against us." *Bibi Dong: "He could be the key to changing everything... or destroying it all." Yu Xiaogang: *"His cultivation speed defies every theory I've ever studied. It's as if the heavens themselves are conspiring to make him strong." --- In a world where strength determines fate and emotions run deeper than the deepest ocean, Chen Sheng must navigate political intrigue, ancient conspiracies, and the complex relationships he builds with the most powerful people on the continent. Armed with his Emotions Fortune System and the cunning of two lifetimes, he'll carve his own path to supremacy—one treasure chest at a time. But in a land where gods walk among mortals and love can be both the greatest strength and the most devastating weakness, Chen Sheng will discover that some prizes are worth more than any system reward. --- # Disclaimer: JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT NOT TO HURT SOMEONE EMOTIONS.

From vengeance… to something much more dangerous—love. ⸻ DAISY WOODS was never meant to fade quietly. She was born to reclaim her legacy. And maybe steal her husband’s heart along the way

In countless civilizations of the Primordial World, there is a widely known saying. When each civilization descends upon the Primordial, influenced by the Primordial Law, a few Supreme Treasures containing the Law will be born, which would make the owners the most powerful in the world.

Yang Fan, with the power of dreaming the future reality, does not think so. He states, "It's just Supreme Treasures, can't they be picked up as long as you have hands? I had a few dreams and easily picked up five pieces."

"It is what Humans do best: pursuing something. Even under the overarching Night, even through the vast rivers, Humans will always move along the world. That is what 'Way' is." - ___. Since birth, life has always vied for survival. To take that ambition further, beyond mere survival, is to pursue something greater. Humanity has lived under the star-riddled sky, having forever lived under scarce light; having wished to see and achieve something greater. And so, they pursued their 'greatness'. There are those who can shatter rock with their bare fists, slay beasts with mystical arts, oppose the natural forces of the world and battle with Spirits. There are those among them who can bend the world to their will, those who created the stars in the Starlit Sky, who now reside among the highest of peaks. There are those who embrace what they love, chase after it, embody it, and indulge in it. Among the myriads of Humans, though they may follow myriads of paths—highs and lows, stagnation, falls and abysses, and lofty heights—one commonhood is shared among all. A Way—the pursuit of Humanity.

The mega-empire which dominated the gaming servers, the very land which he reigned over as emperor, had followed him through his transmigration.

Now, as living beings, they swore their allegiance and lives to him, their Peerless Emperor.
