A Mate For The Last Lycan - Chapter 146: THE RITUAL

How does it feel to lose your parents at the tender age of four?Imagine the trauma, the psychological scars. Now, take it a step further—what if they died right in front of you?That was Kael’s reality. As a young boy, he watched his parents perish while desperately protecting a golden coin.At the time, Kael had no idea of its significance. He only knew that their deaths were tied to it.Fleeing from his father’s murderers, he was forced to survive on the unforgiving streets, learning to fight, steal, and endure.Twelve years later, he had transformed into one of the deadliest assassins the world had ever known.He had no official title. No known employer. No traceable identity. Just a calling card.They called him The Coin Flipper.Not because he left his mark, but because after every kill—just as the body hit the ground, as the last breath escaped—he would flip a coin.No one knew why. Some believed it was mockery, a cruel reminder that fate had turned against them. Others thought it was ritual.But what they didn’t know was that each coin held power—literal currency of the Core System embedded in Kael’s soul.Every kill earned him millions. Digital fortunes funneled into off-grid accounts with each confirmed target. Blood turned into bounty, pain into profit.And one thing was certain: if you saw the glint of a coin spinning through the air, death had already found you.

# PRINCE # ESCAPEFAMINE

Lin Suisui, the legendary doctor of Medicine King Valley, saved countless lives during her life, but in the end, she died a tragic death when an arrow pierced her chest.

When she opened her eyes once more, she had become the crown princess who had just married into the East Palace! Standing before her was a lackey eunuch who was going to kick her while she was down, and behind her was a sickly prince who was severely injured and unconscious…

In desperation, Lin Suisui turned and kissed her husband’s thin lips with tears in her eyes…

***

Lu Ze, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, was the pride of the heavens.

He was in charge of the frontier warriors, the unbeatable and invincible god of war! When the palace changed hands, he was seriously poisoned and falsely accused of treason.

When he next opened his eyes, he was met with a bed with red decorations and the word “double happiness” everywhere. The crown princess, who called him her husband in tears, was clutching a gold hairpin in hand as she stabbed the evil eunuch in the neck.

The violent and ruthless man didn’t know why he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her, and he never imagined that he would end up wanting to protect her for a lifetime!

She pulled the trigger.Time shattered.And somehow… I survived.Kentaro Takamiya thought he was just another broke college student.Until the day a silver-haired girl appeared in his classroom, froze the world… and nearly erased him from existence.Now he’s the only human ever to survive contact with an Alberline.Beautiful, mysterious girls whose emotions are so powerful they can bend time, space, and reality itself.Some, like Halcyon, believe Alberlines can be saved.Others, like Cradle, see them as living weapons that must be destroyed.And then there’s Spire, a private force moving in the shadows, willing to burn nations to harness Alberline power for their own secret ends.Kentaro’s caught in the middle, with one impossible mission:Enter their minds.Make them fall for him… enough to save the world.And stop their emotions from tearing it apart.But with each connection, the truth unravels.The memories he’s lost begin to surface.Factions close in around him.And someone in the shadows is watching his every move, waiting for their moment to strike.Because Kentaro isn’t just syncing with Alberlines.He’s becoming something else.And if he loses control…it won’t just be his mind that breaks.It’ll be reality itself.

I have experienced all the eight sufferings of this world.

I do not ask for nirvana, but for you.
