Nova Roma - Chapter 328 - Meeting in the Imperial palace

At twenty‑nine, she was the youngest CEO in the tech industry—NetVault Security had gone from small startup to Fortune 500 in just six years. The media called her a prodigy. Her board called her unstoppable.Her therapist called her alexithymic.Unable to understand or describe her own emotions.The elevator chimed. Elara didn’t look up. Only one person had after‑hours access.“You’re late,” she said. “The investor meeting is in twelve hours. Did you review the—”“I’m not here about the meeting.”…“Ugh.”Elara lost her life that day at the hands of her mentor and adoptive father. By the next morning, the same people who once called her a genius and praised her to the sky were calling her a coward who killed herself to escape scandal.Then Elara woke up.Not in her office. Not in a hospital.In a different world. In a different body.She was now Elara, the Fourth Princess of this so‑called great kingdom—only to find that this princess was an utter pushover, completely useless in everyone’s eyes. No one feared her. No one respected her. Even her own palace was full of other people’s spies.How is Elara supposed to survive this palace battle, when seven princesses fight in the shadows and she’s known as the weakest one? And can she ever escape this place… or will she decide to win instead?……“Your Highness, please… ugh…”The leash of light around Mahir’s neck—the head of the knights—tightened with a soft pull. His face flushed red, and not from pain.“Princess, here.” Ken, the strongest beast knight, knelt closer and held out a small pill between his fingers, guiding it gently to Elara’s lips.“Swallow it,” he said quietly. “You used too much power today.”On the floor below the bed, three beastmen knelt in a row, broad shoulders tense, ears twitching, their eyes fixed on her with dazed focus. Thin, glowing leashes of magic ran from their collars to the bands at Elara’s wrists.“Please…” Ken’s voice dropped, rough and a little hoarse. “Put your foot here.” He touched his gloved hand to his chest. “On me.”Elara sighed, half annoyed, half amused, and rested her foot lightly on his armored chest. All three of them drew in a sharp breath at the same time, faces turning even redder as the magic between them flared.Their eyes—gold, amber, and deep brown—looked up at her with the same lost, devoted gaze.

[[[ MATURE CONTENT ]]]Dual Cultivation, NTRing Cultivators, Fucking Son of Heaven's Mother, Fiancee', Currupting Heroines and More...!What Happens When the Final Boss Gets Tired of Winning the Same Fight Forever?Of course, the Ultimate Villain becomes the Son of Heaven... and a DOCTOR!Meet Arjun: A 25-year-old medical student who thought his biggest problem was having parents who couldn't decide if he should save humans or animals.One truck accident later, he wakes up as Cang Wuhen — the son of the most feared villain in a cultivation world.But here's the kicker: This isn't just any villain origin story.The Heavenly Demon has been trapped in an endless time loop, fighting the same “destined hero,” Lin Feng, over and over again.Every battle ends the same way — the hero loses, dies with his girl (actually seven girls), and the cycle resets.Fed up with this nonsense joke, the Heavenly Demon pulled the ultimate reverse psychology move: He lived 25 years as a normal human to develop actual emotions, then transferred back into his son's body armed with modern medical knowledge and a completely different mindset.The plan? Live this life differently than a Heaven's puppet villain, help people, and rescue damsels in distress too and hire them as Nurses.The instant target? Wife number one, Yue Lianhua (a fox-eared beauty seeking revenge), is convinced that this mysterious young master who can perform surgery and knows about “cars” might actually BE her supposedly dead husband reincarnated. (The fox bit the hook, and now the Villain becomes the Son of Heaven.)The question isn't whether he can steal the hero's wives...It's whether he can rewrite fate itself before the loop resets again.Because when you've got medical school debt, daddy issues, and the power to corrupt heroines, sometimes the best way to win is to change the entire game.Genre: Cultivation Fantasy, System, Harem, Reincarnation.

“Well, well, well, it looks like someone has missed the memo,” I chuckled, as I stared into his bewildered eyes.“You, my friend, are in the land of fiction, where everything is just... make-believe.” I snorted.“What are you talking about?” he asked, still trying to make sense of my words.“ I'm talking about the fact that we are characters in a freaking novel!”“The woman you foolishly slept with is one of the main characters!” I sneered, finding humour in his predicament.“...”,“You know the story, don't you?” he demanded, his tone sharp. “Write it out or give me the gist of it.”“Sigh…”'How does he accept things so easily?' I thought.“So, let me get this straight,” I began, frustration seeping into my voice. “The novel we're in doesn't even have a proper conclusion, and there are five women playing lead roles along with a man who is the protagonist. Sun-Jung, a boy from my class, is the protagonist and Ruby here, is supposed to be the villain as the heir to the devil's throne.”---------------------------------------------------------Meet Kael Hashirae, the mysterious and richest man in the world.

Join Kael on his journey as he navigates through love, power, and the unknown in this world of captivating incomplete novel.---------------------------------------------------------[Sometimes the purest good is drawn from the vilest evil ]The concept of human nature has been questioned numerous times throughout history. Debates on the issue have come and gone, but the underlying question still remains on the minds of societies across the globe :“Are humans generally filled with an innate sense goodness and light or are we debase creatures at heart continuously tainted with the stains of vice?”'Human Beings', a self-centred kind of mortals believed or should I say still believe that a good heart or performing good deeds will lead them towards the path of enlightenment.This whole concept seemed funny to me, because beings that don't know what enlightenment is talk about path towards the same while hiding their desires deep inside them.---------------------------------------------------------Maybe it's time to change my ways,The lure of money, power, and fame has lost its blaze.Being a King is more than just a scheme,I've found peace in music, money, and meditation, it seems.If only I could recall why I began this quest,Seeds in my pocket, but the garden's a distant nest.But I won't give up until I find my way,Planting trees to harvest bats for the big leagues, I'll play.
