If the Deep Sea Forgets You - Chapter 180 - I Really Miss You

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death.Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large-A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact.“I told you not to run...” He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. “My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want..”Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms.“What do you want?” Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head.“You...”Her breath hitched.“To. Do. As. You're. Told.”Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem.But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors.

She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts.Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa.Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it?

She always knew there was a woman hidden in his heart, so when that woman appeared, she obediently withdrew. However, unexpectedly, he abandoned his 'beloved' and instead frequently invited her.“Mr. Fu, didn't you say there was a contract to discuss?” He pressed her against the cold wall, continuously approaching: “If you were a bit uglier, perhaps I would want to talk contracts and drink tea with you, but you're so beautiful, I only want to talk love with you.”To him, Qiao Mo was like his most cherished treasure, and whenever others looked at her, he felt they were trying to steal her.

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!”Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem:Ruining female characters.In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own.When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters.But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service.In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses.He never expected the universe to take him at his word.Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class.⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme?
