A Tale of Blades & Blood - Chapter 20: A Plot to Strike

Can't a man maintain his dignity while preparing for the end of the world? Is that too much to ask?

The Tower was all I knew... all any of us knew, and just like that, it was gone. Monsters the likes of which I'd never seen ravaged the land of my ancestors. They burst through the outer walls and stormed the city. No one could have been ready for that. But now... Now I have a second chance.

After the collapse of the known world, I woke up to find myself on the First Floor of the Tower. I was young and healthy, 18 again, and sitting in the same classroom that marked the worst days of my life. Confused and excited, I accepted this gift, deciding to use my vast knowledge of the future to climb the Tower in preparation for the end of the world.

Maybe I'll help some folks along the way? Who knows. Survival comes first.

The clock is ticking, and I'm left with only a century to build a Deck powerful enough to survive the end. Things to do... What's first? I need Essence, and I need power. I'll have to climb the Tower to acquire both of these. Some of the zealots will try to stop me, need to look out for those. What if-

“Hey, kid! Hand over the pouch or-”

Stab

Sorry, where was I? Ah... there's a spot of blood on my suit. What a lousy morning.

In this world of blood and fantasy, century-old Rowan Wilder has to not only survive, but thrive as he powers his way to the top of the Tower. The Demonic Plague that has twisted the creatures on the upper Floors is the least of his worries. Cane in hand and Summons by his side, he'll have to tear his way through the monsters, as well as the humans who want to stop his ascent. Of course, he can maintain a sense of decorum while he faces these trials, right?

[ Book 1: Completed ]

Tristan Davis, the playboy CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprize, was forced to marry ANY WOMAN within one month, or else... his glamorous title and position will be stripped off of him.

NOOOOO!

How could he seduce those beautiful women if he became poor and no longer a CEO?

Alright, he will find a woman and marry her to please his demanding grandfather. Who cares if it's a weird strange woman he met on the mountain while going camping. Right?

Wait.. What!? She is NOT HUMAN? She is the demon god's daughter?

Did you say... DEMON?

But she looks so angelic, beautiful and innocent. Tristan couldn't even look at any other women after this demon god's daughter becomes his wife.

Ha. He might as well keep her around since grandpa seems to like her so much.

============

Zhen-Zhen, who had the bloodline of the demon god, was being targeted by the guardian warriors. Ever since she was a child they tried to kill her many times but failed. With no other choice left, they sealed her in the Divine Mountain.

But after 100 years, her seal was accidentally broken and so, her Protector found the chance to send her to another world inhabited by purely ordinary humans- no supernatural beings, and no magical powers.

In this new world, she met the Naughty Handsome CEO, who proposed a marriage to her on their first meeting.

But wait... Marriage? Becoming his Wife? What does it mean to become a Wife?

Though the demon god's daughter was clueless about what is meant of becoming a wife, she excitedly accepted his proposal!

“Yes! I want to be your wife!”

============

*** Excerpt ***

Zhen-Zhen: “Tristan, why are you laughing even though you are sad? I can feel it. You are in pain, right now.”

In his drunken state, Tristan could still absorb her words.

Tristan: “Hey, my Zhen-Zhen. You will be my wife, right?”

Zhen-Zhen: “Yes…”

Tristan: “Then... make me happy. Come closer… and kiss me.”

She leaned closer to Tristan as she pressed her delicate warm lips into his cold lips.

Zhen-Zhen: “Are you happy now, Tristan?”

Tristan shook his head and pouted.

“No! Zhen-Zhen, that one could not be considered as a kiss! You just pressed your lips into mine.” He complained to her exasperatedly.

“Come here, I’ll teach you!” Tristan held her face then he began to kiss her passionately.

Tristan pulled her head closer as he deepened the kiss. After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen responded and returned his kiss with equal intensity as his.

'Damn, she's a fast learner.'

[ HOT+Funny+Fluffy+Mature ]~ This is a story of the demon god's daughter and a naughty handsome CEO...

"One Sin can destroy a man..."

Azekiel, a young man, was forced to embrace his death simply for one small sin... the sin of Hunger.

It was only when he paid the price for his hunger with his life that he realized the cruelty of this world.

Watch Azekiel embrace the hunger that brought forth his demise as he walks on a path of total domination in the Tower of Sins, becoming the Seventh King of Sin: The King of unsatiable Gluttony!

......

The Tower of Sins... A majestic Tower that appeared in the world just as the world had lost all hopes.

Humanity was near extinction in the apocalypse brought forth by the appearance of Monsters in the once peaceful world. Their last hope... The mystical tower that had appeared out of nowhere became the shelter of humanity.

The humans that took shelter in the tower were many; amongst them were a few that were selected by the Tower itself. These Humans were known as the Lord of Sins, who received abilities from the tower itself.

As for what abilities, no one knew... All people knew was that the abilities they received were related to the biggest sin they committed in life. They were all given one task... Climb the tower and reach the top to receive incredible strength and freedom.

Only Lord of Sins and the people they selected were authorized to climb and go up, facing hardships. They were the gods of the Tower! The rest... They were left behind on Floor Zero. Amongst the humans left behind was Azekiel... A human who had never committed even a single sin in his life. Until...

A single sin can change a person's life. What happens when a good man commits a sin worthy of making him a Lord of Sin?

The legend of Sins is about to unfold that can threaten reality itself, bringing forth many unimaginable secrets of the world!

Huo Jiao became an orphan who was exiled to the desolate star in the interstellar age. In order to get rid of the predicament in life, she must hurry up to collect energy stones to exchange for the status of a free citizen.
A week later, Huo Jiao was attacked by a fierce beast, and when he was on the verge of death, a light screen appeared.
[Ancient Earth player-Ji Min (surgeon) will treat you with a bandage, do you accept it? 】
[Ancient Earth player-Ye Bingcheng (geologist) will guide you in the energy stone survey, do you accept it? 】
[Ancient Earth player-Qin Shu (active soldier) will guide you in fighting techniques, do you accept it? 】
Huo Jiao:?

One day, a mobile game app appeared on the mobile phones of many people in China. In the screen, a little girl with black hair and black eyes was rummaging for an unknown stone on a barren planet.
This mobile game cannot be interacted with or recharged. The default items in each person’s inventory are different, which is extremely weird.
After a while, gorgeous firework special effects and scrolling broadcasts exploded on the screen.
[Jiaobao’s injury has been effectively treated, in order to repay player Ji*’s help, Jiaobao will give player Ji* cell repair fluid x 1 in return]
[Jiaobao collected 10,000 energy stones in total, and in order to repay player Ye** for his help, Jiaobao gave player Ye** a geological detector × 1 in return]
[Jiaobao was admitted to the Military University, in order to repay player Qin* for his help, Jiaobao gave player Qin* a defensive mecha × 1]
National players: ? ! !
Other countries:! ! !
Soon, there was a wave of frenzy in the country to study their own work to the extreme, and later, this wave spread to the whole world.
In Xingyuan 3036, mecha combat has become the main force on the battlefield. In order to enhance the power of mechas, the profession of mecha enchanters has gradually emerged.
But a mecha can only be enchanted once, so people are accustomed to using the mecha-enchanting combination with a fit of ≥50% summed up by the predecessors.
On the barren star, Huo Jiao looked at the mecha in front of him in silence, only to see a line of small characters on the mecha that was about to be scrapped.
[Hey! My compatibility with “Phoenix Enchantment” is 100%! ]
