Captain of the Pirates: My Fleet's Limitless Upgrading - Chapter 25: Werewolf, Demon Race, Leaving Flame Island

“What does it feel like to be a shadow?”People say it's bondage — the absence of light, of freedom. But what is freedom, really?The ability to choose whatever you want?Or... just a beautiful illusion masking the void?Strange question, I know.But you'll understand soon enough.Because my lives?They've always been a little... enlightening.— Kaiser

I actually transmigrated while on an IV drip.Born with a weak constitution and a total weakling, even looked down upon when gathering.Physically weak and infertile, males all avoid me on sight.Life in the Beast World is miserable, using stones to wipe my little butt.Fortunately, the System came to be my cheat, and life is no longer miserable.Take some medicine and become awesome, meeting the big shot of the tribe.But my own System's temper, uh…Wu Yue's eyes sparkled: “System, give me a serving of braised pork belly over rice.”System: “Don't have it.”“How about some braised eggplant then?”“Don't have it.”“Steamed buns?”“Don't have it.”Wu Yue took a deep breath: “Then what do you have?”System, aloofly: “I have nothing.”Wu Yue gave a side-eye: “Then what's the use of having you?”System exploded: “I already told you, I'm a life system! A life system! You don't even move a muscle, just sitting here asking for food. In your dreams!!!”The System erupted, Wu Yue cowered...A happy and dorky daily life in the Beast World. Our slogan is: eat our fill, dress warmly, and strive for a comfortable life; happily build a house, and cheerfully stay busy with farming.This author's Beast World stories are all 1V1, so friends, don't hesitate to click and come in!

In the future timeline, Humankind had developed things that brought a revolution to the world. But their best invention was fully immersive VR games that became more and more advanced as time passed.

“Look at me,” he said, voice barely above a whisper, like he wasn't just asking her to see him—but to choose him.She did.And oh God.The moment her eyes met his, it was like the floor tilted. His gaze wasn't cold anymore. It wasn't guarded or teasing. It was raw. Fierce. Wrecking. Like he saw through every layer she'd tried to hide.She swallowed hard. Her legs trembled.Her heart betrayed her, pounding so hard against her ribs it seemed like it wanted to break free.Why did his eyes soften like that, as if she was delicate glass, and he'd do anything to keep her from shattering?She swore she was going to melt right there.And he didn't even kiss her.Didn't have to.That one look—his fingers brushing against her skin like he owned the right, it was more than any kiss she'd ever had. More dangerous. More intoxicating.Her lips parted, maybe to speak, maybe to breathe, but nothing came out. Nothing could.The tension between them tightened—thick, electric, blinding.If he moved even an inch, it would be over.But he didn't.And that restraint? That maddening, infuriating, goddamn beautiful control made her want him even more.“Let me handle this,” he whispered. “You don't have to trust Conor. Just trust me.”Her eyes dropped to his lips. They were so close now she could feel the whisper of his breath. Her heart pounded harder, like it wanted to escape.“Please stop doing that,” she murmured. For a fleeting second, nothing moved, then he dropped his hand.His brows drew together. “Doing what?”“Touching me,” she whispered. “Especially when you're trying to make a point. You did it in the restroom too.”“Why do you think I'm doing that?” he asked, voice husky now, softer.Synopsis:At an elite college, falling for the rich, cold son of a bi-llionaire wasn’t part of the plan, especially when his brother is tied to her mother’s mysterious death.But from the moment Merlina steps onto campus, the chemistry is undeniable.
