THE CRITERION for DISCERNMENT

Revenge is, by all means, one of the most guaranteed things to happen when a warlord with dragon blood in his veins and ether at his side is betrayed, poisoned, and reduced not to death but to decades of obliterating pain as his ether channels burn from his very soul. Only one remained. One channel, thin and fragile around his heart, survived long enough for him to endure, to wait, to plan, to manipulate, and, eventually, to return to the world with one clear purpose: to burn down the nation of the traitor who thought he had erased him for good. But then came a fortune teller at a street stall. And with the fortune teller came a dare Arik accepted for fun, a spread of cards drawn with no real expectation beyond momentary amusement. Instead, he found something far more dangerous than revenge waiting for him. His mate. A story of rebirth, revenge, enemies-to-allies-to-lovers, political ruin, ether, and the deeply unfortunate reality that the one person tied to Arik’s fate may be the very last person he should ever want. — Warnings, disclaimers, cries for help… call them whatever you want. This is the third book set in the same universe, but it can be read on its own. The world will be fully presented, so nobody needs to do homework before stepping into the chaos. For anyone curious, the first two books are: Bound by the Mark of Lies Shadow Unit Scandal: The Commander’s Omega This universe is ABO dragged directly into etherpunk, political fantasy, violence, bad coping mechanisms, and my ongoing inability to let powerful people make emotionally healthy decisions. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be smut. There will also be vengeance, terrible restraint, worse impulses, emotional damage, and at least one man reacting to fate like it personally insulted his bloodline. Good luck.

Sumire never expected to wake up in the Marvel universe… as a beautiful girl. One look in the mirror, one thought of Thanos’ snap, and she already wanted out. Survival goal? Stay low, don’t get caught, live peacefully. Too bad she awakened the Villainess Simulation System. By causing chaos and harvesting negative emotions, she can summon powerful female avatars like Makima, Rize, Android 18, Annie, and more… though some choices feel a bit suspicious. As Sumire gets closer to these cold, domineering, and dangerously charming women, her original dream of being a macho man starts to crumble. Somewhere along the way… she starts enjoying it. Now fully embracing her role, she becomes a walking disaster among heroes and villains alike, summoning avatars, unlocking abilities, and wreaking havoc across the Marvel universe. Tony: She blew up my armor and sold it as scrap?! Thor: Why can that mage lift Mjolnir so easily?! Nick Fury: Even Hydra got infiltrated?! Thanos: Don’t look at me. I’m Miss Makima’s dog. And as everything spirals out of control, Sumire can only blink innocently: "I swear… I didn’t mean to break the world."

Fall in love, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, and complain about life like a normal person. Reality disagreed. At twenty-five, he had confessed to one hundred girls and been rejected by every single one. “Sorry, you’re a good guy, but…” “You’re more like a brother to me…” “I think you deserve someone better.” He had heard every variation. Every excuse. Every polite rejection that stabbed just as sharply as a blunt knife. By the end of it, Lin Feng no longer feared failure. He expected it. After a night of drowning his sorrows, he woke up in a cultivation world. And somehow… he became a teacher again. “Mentor Lin Feng, could you guide me?” Lin Feng stood frozen. Because surrounding him were not ordinary women, but goddesses, fairies, and proud maidens whose beauty could topple kingdoms. He looked up at the heavens, his expression complicated. “…Are you messing with me?” He clenched his fist. “No. I didn’t come here for romance.” “I just want to teach.” The heavens, however… Had other plans.

“A married man, a foreign star, and a love so deep it summoned wings from the heavens —Ramish, a 32-year-old married man with three children, lives a life of silent longing, his heart carrying a secret it can never confess. Across borders and beliefs stands Richer, a 25-year-old Thai actor, whose charm has unknowingly ignited a love so deep it transcends distance, time, and destiny. As fate orchestrates an unexpected meeting, the two souls are drawn together in an emotional storm—where unspoken desires meet unyielding realities. Love, forbidden yet pure, grows between them—woven with mystical elements, heartfelt poetry, and the pain of knowing that some connections, no matter how powerful, can never find a home in this world. Will Ramish find solace in Richer’s presence, or will his love remain a beautiful wound—eternal, unhealed, and unforgettable? A tale of longing, destiny, and the unseen magic of hearts that dare to love beyond limits. This is the story of everyone who loves deeply but sees no hope of their love ever being returned. Even if they dare to confess, love does not always come back in return. Yet, they continue to wait for a miracle—hoping that the one they love might one day love them back.

"Although I was reborn as the weakest of the five-colored dragons, and transmigrated into a little female dragon, and had a disastrous start, at least I am a top-tier race. It's better than being reborn as a maggot, right?" Jona Velli looked at the pure white dragon scales covered by blood and dust, and was forced to accept the fact that she had inexplicably transmigrated to this magical continent and become a little female dragon because of drinking. "Now that I've come to this strange world, how can I not make a big splash? Hehehehe..." ………… Seeing the awakened power of time, Jona Velli was so excited that she almost jumped up and started spinning like a Thomas the Tank Engine. Time acceleration? No, no, no, that's not a good description at all. It should be renamed "Weekend". Time has forgotten? No, no, it should be renamed [Breaking Promises], hehehe~

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

Between ambition and emotion, choices and consequences, Aurelia must decide not only where her career will lead—but what her heart is willing to risk.
