Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 28
Advertisement
Xie Eun woke up feeling refreshed for the first time in a long while.She had expected to be overrun with feelings of guilt and sorrow in her first night here.But unexpectedly, she had slept through the night..She pushed away the blanket that draped her and tried to think how she has gotten here but had no recollection of that..She had been in her father's study and crying...Realizing, that Yu Seok must have place her here, she felt a warmth flow through her heart.She was really lucky to have such a caring friend, she thought to herself once again.His care for her made her feel wistful..She had 'gained' two brothers in recent years but they could not even be bothered to look at her..
(Yu Seok:Author if you give Xue Eun brotherly feelings for me, I will kill you!" Author:Then you should have lived up to your name and preyed on the little lamb in your arms!I gave you a chance to sleep with her!Who asked you to be a gentleman?")
Xie Eun thought back to the big family she had gotten to know over these months..They were actually her maternal family.Her father's parents had died young and he had been the only child while her mother's family had been alienated with her father.Of course she came to know of this when her maternal grandmother came to the village to visit her the morning after her father's death and pay her condolences.
At first she had been overjoyed at the realization that she still had family..and accepted her grandmother's invitation to live with their family with alacrity.She had planned to go to the city either way and having the chance to live in a big family was like a dream to her.And so Aunt Su and her had packed their bags and left for the city..

However her illusion of family had shattered in the first week itself...
At first, she had been warmly welcomed by her mother's younger brother,his wife and their three children.She had been so happy to have two brother and a sister...but then she had slowly realized that their attitude..It was polite on the surface but they looked down at her....She did not understand why though..As she tried to mix in, it got even more and more difficult until she stumbled upon the truth as one of her 'brother' who was coincidenfally a good friend of Si Jing had teased him for being engaged to a country bumpkin like her who would never fit in their high society.She heard him insult her from her looks to her tomboy attitude to her clumsiness .The disdain and contempt in that tone of voice had crushed her dreams of having a loving family..She had finally opened her eyes to her surroundings and slowly accepted the harsh reality..Thankfully Si Jing had defended her and claimed that she did not need to fit in his society as long as he liked her...at that moment, Si Jing had sealed his place in her heart and erased all doubts.If he had agreed with her brother, she would have been crushed...
And this she had slowly started to distance herself from her toxic cousins and moved into the university dorm..Her grandmother and uncle had tried to stop her and coax her but she dare not tell them as they would feel guilty.So she had adamantly moved out with only one request..Let Aunt Su stay there..as a domestic help...After moving out of the house, Xie Eun would spend her weekends with Si Jing who would drive her around showing her different things in the city or going away to the outskirts of the city to see beautifull landscapes...and sometimes they would spend their evenings quietly at his house watching movies...It was at these moments that things would escalate inevitably end in arguments over her reluctance to be intimate with him..The first time this happened, she went back to her dorm cursing herself for what happened and that Wolf for being an obstruction in her way..Not once did she blame Si Jing..and inadvertently after a few days of calming down, Si Jing apologized to her and the matter was finished..But Xie Eun was worried the next weekend and this time when Si Jing planned to get together, Xie Eun excused herself claiming that she needed to visit Aunt Su..She really had been meaning to meet Aunt Su and thus had planned to give her a surprise and did not feel guilty over ditch Si Jing.

But she was the one who had been surprised or rather shocked..because she had reached home just in time to see her 'sister' try to slap Aunt Su.She had rushed forward to stop that and pushed the girl back harshly..Only then had she realized that the rest of the family was present and no one had tried to stop this.and all the other servants were also standing there watching everything...She turned to see the tears of humiliation in Aunt Su's eyes and came to an awful realization...She thought that she had matured but even then she had been naive...these people who had no compassion for their own blood would not show the same to someone they deemed below them...Chances were that Aunt Su had suffered this treatment in the past also but been quiet for her sake..However before Xie Eun could open her mouth to reprimand her,the girl had turned her viciousness on her,"Here is the real thief!"

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday

Norman hated his life. His peers ignored and bullied him. His mother nagged. His father was never home. Norman desperately wished for a miracle, but his prayers went unanswered. Until one night. **************************************** Note: This story is going to be very short. I would recommend reading it all at once. This story started out as a challenge I set for myself. I've recently felt bogged down because of the need to write more. That's why each chapter will be only 300 words long. Exactly 300 words long. At this point, I've pretty much written the whole thing, so I'm very confident that there will only be eight chapters.
8 194Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

But he's not the same Angelus Raizel they once knew... ********* Warning: >This is an Action-Romance Fantasy Story. I won't follow the rules of the throne inheritance, also the rules of the king / prince / princess has to be protected, instead I will make them wield weapons and bring them to the front lines. So I will make the kings clash their weapons against each other rather than their generals (of course I will make their general fight with them). >I have added the high fantasy tag so that you understand the world in this story has its own rules that are different from the real world. >This story includes sword fight, magic fight, barehand fight, war between kingdoms, strategy, city / castle infiltration, conspiracy, betrayal and a few chapters of romantic scenes at the beginning of the story (that looks like a boring 'fairy tale love story', but you will understand their love story actually a slow romance and full of conspiracy at the middle of story). >I'm not a pro writer, so there will be a lot of errors. >Cover by commission
