I’m a quick study.”When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips.“It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.”His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. “As long as it's from you, I'm happy.”

In this world, there are those that are fortunate and those who are not.

Ethan Bellrose is neither; he is cursed. At nineteen, he has lived his entire life sheltered in his home as his fragile body blisters under sunlight, breaks under the slightest impact, and falls to any sickness.

However, the arrival of a world-changing digital service catches the hopeless young man’s eye: “Reincarnation Online”--a virtual reality experience that gives a new fantastical life to those who are unfulfilled with their current path.

For Ethan Bellrose, the choice is simple. Without hesitation, he orders the virtual reality headgear, choosing to abandon his current life and live forevermore in the world of fantasy, magic, and endless adventure–”Arcadius.”

Though what he finds is a world not full of leisure and trivial triumph, but a world just as alive and full of darkness, glory, and grandeur as Earth–if not greater.

Starting from square one as an infant, given a new name and family, this is the eventful life, full of dreadful lows and exhilarating highs, of “Emilio Dragonheart.”

“You dare to divorce, unless I die!” Fu Tingyao was cold and cruel, but he loved her to the point of madness, and he would turn black as soon as he left.

Before his rebirth, Mu Xingwan mistakenly regarded his benefactor as an enemy, and only when he died did he realize that he loved him to the bone.

Returning from the rebirth, Mu Xing started a counterattack late, hugged the man’s thigh tightly, slapped the face and abused the scum all the way! It is rumored on the Internet that Mu Xingwan’s heart is higher than the sky, and she stalked the popular actor Shen Yu, and recruited fans to scold “The toad wants to eat swan meat!” As a result, after the photos of Mu Xingwan’s makeup without makeup were exposed, she “slapped” her face! It was rumored on the Internet that the popular actor Shen Yu fell in love with the little fairy at first sight, but found that the little fairy was Mu Xingwan after she had no makeup… The whole network was shocked. Fu Erye, the dream lover of thousands of girls, immediately posted a group photo, and wrote @shen yu: my wife, understand?

It is also said that Mu Xingwan was timid and stupid, and all the ladies and ladies were looking forward to their divorce: the vase was not worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the second master.

Then, the news headlines revealed that the top student in the college entrance examination, an expert in appraising treasures… When it was all hers, it blinded everyone’s eyes.

“Second Master, Jiang Shao is holding a rose and wants to invite Mrs. Shao to dinner.”
