《The Glory After Rebirth》C38. Am I a Heart-breaker?
Advertisement
‘Do you want to break off the engagement?’
‘How dare you! Ling Family dares to break off the engagement? Take them to court!’
A tall man came up to him with his back to the light. Obviously, Ling Zhang couldn’t see his face clearly, but he knew that man was ferocious and angry now and stared at him as if he was a heartbreaker.
That man stretched out to seize his collar and thundered, “No way!”
His dangerous eyes fixed on Ling Zhang firmly and shackled him, suffocating him.
No, it was not like that, I didn’t intend to break off the engagement, I just…
“Ho—" Ling Zhang opened his eyes suddenly, staring blankly at the familiar canopy of his bed. That pair of eyes fixing firmly on him in his dream haunted in his mind. His heart fluttered uncannily which made him panic.
What was going on, why did he dream those strange things?
Ling Zhang lifted his hands to wipe the sweat on forehead, then he felt heavy on his chest and found it hard to breathe.
Looking down, he saw a head with soft hair and familiar cowlick. It was like being held by a small stove. The little guy was snoring lying on him.
Ling Zhang, “…”
He remembered clearly that he slept alone before going to bed, when did Ling Maomao come here? Why couldn’t he remember a thing?
It was a day off for school and it was strange that he didn’t clamor to play outside?
So that odd dream was caused by the little guy who nearly suffocated him with his head pressing so hard on his chest? Although he comforted himself like this, that pair of eyes still haunted in Ling Zhang’s mind.
Moving Ling Maomao to the bed from his body, Ling Zhang then pulled quilt for the little guy and leaned on the bed head with an unfathomable look.

Why did he dream of people from Yu Wen Family coming to square accounts with him?
People from Yu Wen Family eagerly looked forward to breaking off the engagement, so it was impossible for them to take revenge.
But why did he always feel uneasy now?
There was no update from the butler, but according to the time, they might get to capital in a few days.
Rubbing his forehead, Ling Zhang thought he must be too tired these days that he dreamed terrible things to scare himself.
When he was about to leave, Ling Maomao who lay beside sensed and stretched out to hold Ling Zhang’s waist in a daze, “Brother, where are you going?”
“I’m ready to get up, you can go back to sleep.” Ling Zhang rubbed his head lightly.
Ling Maomao suddenly woke up and sprang out of the bed, “Brother, I came here to play with you, let’s hang out on the street!”
Ling Zhang now understood why the little guy didn’t go out. Clearly, the boy was waiting for him.
“I’m busy now and can’t hang out. I can ask Xiafeng and several people to accompany you.”
Ling Maomao’s alive face turned to aggrieved, “I want to hang out with you. You were always so busy these days and I can’t even meet you at meal time.”
Ling Zhang’s heart melted for he remembered clearly how Maomao died in his previous life. In this life, he would try his best to let Maomao live well and to protect him and Ling Family.
“I have to go to school every day. It’s rare for me to have a day off.” Ling Maomao continued.
The last insistence in his heart was broken. Ling Zhang pinched Ling Maomao’s cheeks, “Okay, I will accompany you. Now, smile.”
Ling Maomao hurrahed immediately and jumped out of bed directly, “Come on, be quick!”
“Take it easy, get dressed first!” Ling Zhang hissed.
After getting Ling Maomao dressed, Ling Zhang called Xiafeng and ordered him, “Tell my aunt that I will hang out on the street with Maomao first, then I will find her for the list later.”
Xiafeng nodded, “Yes, young master.”
The author has something to say:
Ling Zhang: What a nightmare!

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.

However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace. It will center a lot around how he'll change the perspectives of those around him, and how he tries to draft more cultivators to his cause, starting with the toughest nut to crack, the ruthless, bloodthirsty and easily-triggered Rector. Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.
