Starting from Zero - Chapter 135: The Hidden Cavern

When Etienne Blessad crawls from the wreckage of a plane crash that should have killed him, he returns to Astoria, Oregon as something more than human and far more dangerous. He has returned with strange new abilities and a violent temperament. With these powers, he only has one goal: take revenge against the extended family who murdered his parents and built their empire on blood money. But in a world where caped crusaders and masked villains clash in the streets, his personal vendetta threatens to spiral into something far bigger and more dangerous than simple revenge.Tags: Superpowers, Superheroes, Action, Urban, Ninjas, Martial ArtsSchedule: 1 chapter/day at 10 AM EST.

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for.A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night.She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage.A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception?--“Are you upset?”She eyed him sharply. “Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?”He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table.He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down.The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape.When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine.“How shall I make it up to you then?” he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling.

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life.The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard.She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters.But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem.All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish.Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly!Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad!However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress.The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall.Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step.A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier.Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

Noa thought death would be the end of him, but something ancient disagreed.Reborn with a dragon’s bloodline and the ashes of forgotten beasts, Noa wakes up bound in chains.He was a traitor, marked for execution.But even after this second death, his fate isn't sealed.[Ding!][Congratulations, Host. You have inherited the First Dragon’s Bloodline.][Shadow Affinity detected][Weakest Beast Egg acquired. Bond to awaken its true nature.][Talent unlocked: Dragon Necromancer][Gather dragon ashes. Ignite their legacy. Revive their might. Rewrite fate.]Thrown into a world of beast tamers and corrupted monsters, Noa must rise from weakness to wield shadows and dragons alike.Divine beasts? Cute. He will dig up dragons from their graves and make them kneel.He won’t bow.He won’t run.He will make sure that dragons rise from their graves to reclaim their glory.***Additional Tags: Undead, Taming, Academy, Magic, No incest, No Rape, No Yuri, No NTR, No Smut, Evolution
