《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife

As Alicia drove back to the office,she had worked herself up into a temper again.She had specially asked that Aunty Su should be left to her to take care of!!All her arrangements were gone to waste!
Alicia reached the office building just when the lunch hour had started.The usually hustling and bustling reception was empty save for a few security guards and a receptionist.She stalked towards the elevators and forcefully pressed the button to take her up.She was going to confront Ryu Long about this!He had the cheek not to just ignore her request but he did not even bother to let her know about his machinations!!
The elevator doors opened soon and lost in her thoughts,Alicia did not notice the other occupant in the lift.The other person in the lift was a classic beauty.Where Alicia was of average height and possessed a curvy figure this woman was tall and slim like a model.But currently marring her beauty was her irritation and jealousy towards Alicia.This woman was Alicia's colleague in the law department.Her name was Ms Ping Wan amd her personality was the complete antithesis of her name which meant quiet and gentle.Ping Wan had just now received news that she would be replacing Alicia as the new assistant of Neil Long and she would not miss this chance to gloat.
Seeing Alicia distracted,Ping Wan slyly commented,"The ring you are wearing is too small to compensate for the position you are giving up,Assistant Lu.After all the ass kissing you must have done to reach your position and in the end giving it up...Now see I am going to replace you..as an assistant and as Neil's friend soon.."
Alicia who was already in a foul mood had just found an outlet for her rage and a new plan was forming in her head to teach Ryu Long a lesson.

Alicia's new status as Ryu Long's assistant was scheduled to be announced after lunch today.She mentally rubbed her hands in glee and turned to the gloating woman beside her and said with a smirk,"Ping Wan,it's a good thing you are going to be learning from me soon.I think you will make a good assistant though being Neil's friend is a bit doubtful."
The lift doors opened at the 1st floor and Alicia put her hands through Ping Wan's elbow and pulled her out of the lift as if they were best friends.On reaching the entrance of the dining room she looked around and seeing her target whispered in her companion's ear,"To reach my position,you think I've been kissing ass...no wonder you are only becoming an assistant now..after so many years..observe..I'll start teaching you now...!"
After saying this,Alicia marched towards the corner table where Ryu Long was sitting with his back to the door.That man!He was enjoying his lunch after ruining hers!!
Neil,who was sitting with Ryu saw Alicia enter.He had been about to call out a greeting but seeing her expression he changed his mind.Her narrowed eyes were fixed on his brother's back.Woah...hisbpoor brother..not even a week together and he was already on her hit list...time to sit back and watch a good show...
Ryu had been eating his lunch and was thinking of Alicia.He had subconsciously put dessert on his plate and now that she was still not here he was going to have to eat it on his own..He looked up to ask Neil if he would like some when he saw
a curious expression flit across his face.He was about to enquire when he felt a shadow fall on him.Who had the guts to approach and stand in front of him like this?His eyes hardened and he turned around to look and received a surprise.The woman who had not left his thoughts for a minute was now standing next to him.

Not registering her expression over his sudden thumping heart,he opened his mouth and tried to say,"As...."His words were blocked by a soft mouth blocking his.The kiss was agressive and she forcefully bit his lip hard enough to leave a cut...Her hand was tangled in his hair and the other hand was on the table.
Ryu was shocked by her sudden aggression and almost lost himself to this side of his woman.But he was brought back to his senses by the next bite on his tongue.S***, that stung!!What was with her!!He was about to take control when she pulled back as suddenly as she attacked and whispered,"You b******!!That Aunty Su was mine!!Ru is my son too and I had a right to get my revenge for him!This was your punishment."
Finished with what she had to say,she straightened,and walked back towards the door where the other irritating person was standing slack jawed.
Ignoring the stunned crowd in the hall she proceeded towards her offices.She had work to do!
A certain CEO was left sitting at his table wondering how was that a punishment?
A few minutes everybody had received an official memo stating that Assistant Lu would be soon be joining the C.E.O's team.
Ping Wan:"..."
All gossipy secretaries:"...."

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

8 172Avian | Krieg der Welten (German!!!)
Die Welt wartete voller Spannung auf den Release des ersten großen VR Games, OMEGA, so auch der MC, der jedoch zur Zeit des Release gerade an seiner Abschlussarbeit sitzt und damit den ersten Morgen in OMEGA verpasst. Am zweiten Morgen des Spiels jedoch, fliegt Mirado jedoch in den Himmel um sich den Sonnenaufgang als erstes anzusehen, als ein mächtiges Beben alle Spieler der Welt erschütterte und für ihn Spiel zur Realität wurde. Nicht mehr in der Lage die Welt zu verlassen, kämpft er von da an um seinen Platz in einer Welt aus Spielern und den natürlichen Einwohnern, sowie zahlreichen Monster und Götter. Als Auserwählter eines Gottes und Abseits aller Regeln und somitt auch abseits der Bestimmungen als auch des Schutzes den Regeln bieten, ist jeder Tag für Mirado ein Kampf ums überleben und sogleich ein Tag an dem er etwas neues über seine neue Welt lernt. Begleitet Mirado auf seiner Reise durch die Welt, wie er neue Freunde und Feinde findet, Uralte Gegner erweckt und die ältesten Götter konfrontiert um seine neue Welt zu beschützen. [hr] Ich habe bisher VIELE Storys darüber gelesen wie Chars zu Götter wurden, gegen Götter gekämpft haben und selbige am Ende (oder auch nach kurzer Zeit) zum Frühstück verspeisten. Diesmal wollte ich jedoch mal einen anderen Weg ausprobieren. Mein Weg führt nicht gegen die Götter und das Universum, sondern MIT den Göttern und der Welt. Wenn ihr also Fragen, Anmerkungen oder Kritik habt dann schreibt doch bitte einen Kommentar, eine Bewertung oder eine PM :) Ich lese sie alle!!!
