alexprc
“The man who destroyed my family handed me a contract—marry him for one year, or watch everything we have left vanish.” Elena Cruz has lost everything. Her once-thriving life crumbled when Alexander Knight, the ruthless billionaire CEO, crushed her father's business empire without mercy. With bills piling up and thugs threatening her doorstep, she’s desperate—until she’s summoned to Knight Corp with an unthinkable offer. Marry Alexander for one year, and in return, her father’s company will be revived and her family’s name restored. Cold. Arrogant. Untouchable. He’s the enemy she vowed to hate, yet the only man willing to save her. But living under the same roof, wearing his ring, and facing his relentless control awakens something Elena never expected—desire. And worse, feelings. As secrets unfold, loyalties are tested, and the lines between hate and love blur, Elena must decide: is she falling for her enemy, or is this all just another trap? A high-stakes romance full of betrayal, redemption, and a slow-burning passion that just might consume them both.

Freedom Jumper

Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the very thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Eternal dreams unfathomable to man. New world, new body, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? After two years of meandering the current of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. “This isn’t real…” —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life
