hero rival 9

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments? Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over. The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned! It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbours. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life. In summary, this other world was――at peace. What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home. However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and……

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living?

Ari loved Noah since she was sixteen, she thought it was her dream come true. However, she did not know that her sister had dug a trap for her, and it was not the beginning of her new life, rather it was her new hell. She was forced to give up her training as a doctor because the respectful Mrs Nelson could not have her hands covered in blood. Ari agreed.

In his drunken stupor, he once held her by her throat against the wall of a dingy pub, “You can deny it all you want princess, but you want me.” His eyes raked over her heaving chest and his eyes darkened, the red appearing unhinged, possessive as if he wanted to wrench her soul out of her body and embed it in his own. “Bet if I take a peek, you will be dripping wet for me.” Heat flared up Ariana's cheeks as she snarled, “Shut up.” “Make me,” said Nicolai as he smashed his lips on hers. His kisses burned into her soul, and his warmth seared her skin every time they touched. She thought that her biggest mistake was getting entangled with Nicolai. However, Ari soon realised the hard way, Literally, being wanted by such a beautiful nightmare was much worse than a mistake. And things turn complicated when her husband finds the truth about everything. “Shoot me in the heart, Ari,” said Noah as he brought the gun's nozzle where his heart lay. “Because a life without you is one that I don't want, so either kill me or come back. I beg of you.” Now that Nicolai had given her a choice, would Ari fall in love with him and jump into a life of nothing but danger? Or would she go back to her husband, Noah, whom she loved ever since she was sixteen? And would Ariana avoid the danger that lurks in the dark, waiting for her to make a mistake and lose everything dear to her?

Take it and get lost,” He shouted while throwing the black card at Ariana’s face. Ariana couldn’t believe her ears when she heard her husband or her future ex-husband humiliate her like this. Three years. Ariana Harlow gave Noah Nelson, three years and yet when she caught him kissing her elder sister, Ariel—— this was what he said to her. “I am going to divorce you,” Ari declared and left.

Zheng Ming, who had transmigrated to another world, carried with him a set of Hero Cards which, given enough Prestige Points, could summon the heroes from these cards: With the power of these heroes, you could cut down enemies while on horseback, scale walls and rooftops with ease, unleash a Celestial Flying Immortal attack, and even command the might to bewitch the heavens and earth! Of course, riding your sword through the Nine Heavens, vanquishing demons between earth and sky was not just a dream, nor was it impossible to transform into the Ancient Golden Crow, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas...

Pendant les trois dernières années, Ariana Ari Harlow a tout donné à son mari. Ils se sont mariés parce que sa sœur a choisi de s'enfuir le soir du mariage, croyant aux rumeurs que la Corporation Nelson était en faillite. Ari aimait Noah depuis ses seize ans, elle pensait que c'était le rêve de sa vie qui se réalisait. Cependant, elle ne savait pas que sa sœur lui avait tendu un piège, et ce n'était pas le début de sa nouvelle vie, mais bien son nouveau enfer. Elle a été forcée d'abandonner sa formation de médecin parce que la respectable Mme Nelson ne pouvait pas avoir les mains couvertes de sang. Ari a accepté. Pour l'amour de Noah, elle est devenue une épouse parfaite qui prenait soin de ses beaux-parents et de son mari. Cependant, ce qui l'attendait n'était rien d'autre que des insultes, son mari avait honte d'elle et sa belle-mère pensait que sa sœur, Ariel, était mieux assortie à son fils. Pourtant, Ari persistait. Elle pensait qu'elle réchaufferait le cœur de son mari un jour. Mais elle l'a surpris en train d'embrasser sa sœur ! Cœur brisé, Ariana décida de divorcer de son mari, mais elle se retrouva d'une manière ou d'une autre empêtrée avec Nicolai. L'ennemi et rival de son mari. Ils n'étaient pas faits pour être ensemble. Mais Nicolai semble se ficher des obstacles qui se dressent contre eux. En fait, il était déterminé à s'immiscer dans la vie d'Ari et à mettre le feu à tout. Dans son ivresse, il l'a un jour plaquée par la gorge contre le mur d'un pub miteux, "Tu peux le nier tant que tu veux princesse, mais tu me désires." Ses yeux parcouraient son torse haletant et ses yeux s'assombrirent, le rouge apparut dérangé, possessif, comme s'il voulait arracher son âme de son corps et l'ancrer dans le sien. "Je parie que si je jette un coup d'œil, tu seras trempée pour moi." La chaleur monta aux joues d'Ariana alors qu'elle grognait, "Tais-toi." "Fais-moi taire," dit Nicolai en écrasant ses lèvres contre les siennes. Ses baisers brûlaient dans son âme, et sa chaleur lui brûlait la peau chaque fois qu'ils se touchaient. Elle pensait que sa plus grande erreur avait été de s'emmêler avec Nicolai. Cependant, Ari comprit bientôt à la dure, littéralement, qu'être désirée par un tel cauchemar magnifique était bien pire qu'une erreur. Et les choses se compliquent lorsque son mari découvre la vérité sur tout. "Tire-moi dans le cœur, Ari," dit Noah en plaçant la buse du pistolet là où se trouvait son cœur. "Parce qu'une vie sans toi est une vie que je ne veux pas, alors tue-moi ou reviens. Je t'en supplie." Maintenant que Nicolai lui avait donné le choix, Ari tomberait-elle amoureuse de lui et plongerait-elle dans une vie remplie de dangers ? Ou retournerait-elle vers son mari, Noah, qu'elle aimait depuis ses seize ans ? Et Ariana éviterait-elle le danger qui guette dans l'ombre, attendant qu'elle fasse une erreur et qu'elle perde tout ce qui lui est cher ? Trouverait-elle la clé de tous les secrets qui la lient à Noah et Nicolai ainsi qu'à son destin tortueux ? ******* Extrait : "C'est une question d'argent, n'est-ce pas ? Prends-le et disparais," hurla-t-il en jetant la carte noire au visage d'Ariana. Ariana ne pouvait pas croire ce qu'elle entendait quand elle a entendu son mari ou son futur ex-mari l'humilier comme ça. Trois ans. Ariana Harlow a donné trois ans à Noah Nelson, et pourtant, lorsqu'elle l'a surpris en train d'embrasser sa sœur aînée, Ariel —— voilà ce qu'il lui dit. "Je vais te divorcer," déclara Ari et partit. Elle est partie sans le sou mais Ari est tombée sur Nicolai. L'ennemi et rival de son mari, le prince de la Mafia de la Ville de Lonest, un bâtard notoire connu pour ses tendances violentes. Leur rencontre malheureuse l'a placée sur le chemin de Nicolai, et comme ça, il a posé les yeux sur elle. La première fois qu'ils se sont rencontrés, Nicolai lui a demandé de l'inviter à dîner. La deuxième fois, lorsqu'ils se sont rencontrés, il lui a remis un million de dollars. La troisième fois qu'ils se sont rencontrés, il a déclaré : "Tu serais bien dans mes bras, qu'en dis-tu princesse ?" ********

``` Nos últimos três anos, Ariana Ari Harlow dedicou tudo ao seu marido. Os dois se casaram porque sua irmã escolheu fugir na noite do casamento, acreditando nos rumores de que a Corporação Nelson estava falida. Ari amava Noah desde os dezesseis anos, ela pensou que era o sonho dela se tornando realidade. No entanto, não sabia que sua irmã tinha preparado uma armadilha para ela, e não era o começo de sua nova vida, mas sim o seu novo inferno. Ela foi forçada a desistir de seu treinamento como médica porque a respeitável Senhora Nelson não poderia ter suas mãos cobertas de sangue. Ari concordou. Pelo bem de Noah, ela se tornou a esposa perfeita que cuidava dos sogros e do marido. No entanto, o que a esperava era nada além de insultos, seu marido tinha vergonha dela e sua sogra acreditava que sua irmã, Ariel, era a mais adequada para o filho. Porém, Ari persistiu. Ela pensou que um dia aqueceria o coração do marido. Mas ela o pegou beijando sua irmã! De coração partido, Ariana decidiu se divorciar do marido, mas de alguma forma se viu emaranhada com Nicolai. O inimigo e rival do marido. Eles não eram feitos para ficarem juntos. Mas Nicolai não parece se importar com as chances contra eles. Na verdade, ele estava determinado a invadir a vida de Ari e incendiar tudo. Em seu torpor alcoólico, ele a segurou pelo pescoço contra a parede de um pub sujo, "Você pode negar o quanto quiser, princesa, mas você me deseja." Seus olhos percorreram seu peito ofegante e seus olhos escureceram, o vermelho apareceu desvairado, possessivo como se quisesse arrancar sua alma do corpo e introduzir em si mesmo. "Aposto que se eu dar uma olhada, você estará encharcada para mim." O calor subiu às bochechas de Ariana enquanto ela rosnava, "Cala a boca." "Me faça," disse Nicolai enquanto esmagava os lábios nos dela. Seus beijos queimavam em sua alma, e seu calor cauterizava sua pele toda vez que se tocavam. Ela achava que seu maior erro tinha sido se envolver com Nicolai. Contudo, Ari logo percebeu da maneira mais difícil, de forma literal, que ser desejada por um belo pesadelo era muito pior que um erro. E as coisas ficam complicadas quando seu marido descobre a verdade sobre tudo. "Atire no meu coração, Ari," disse Noah enquanto colocava o bocal da arma onde ficava seu coração. "Porque uma vida sem você é uma vida que eu não quero, então ou me mata ou volta. Eu te imploro." Agora que Nicolai lhe deu uma escolha, Ari se apaixonaria por ele e pularia para uma vida de nada além de perigo? Ou ela voltaria para o marido, Noah, por quem ela era apaixonada desde os dezesseis anos? E Ariana evitará o perigo que espreita nas sombras, esperando que ela cometa um erro e perca tudo que lhe é querido? Ela encontrará a chave para todos os segredos que a atam a Noah e Nicolai, bem como seu destino tortuoso? ******* Excerto: "É tudo sobre dinheiro, não é? Pegue e desapareça," Ele gritou ao jogar o cartão preto no rosto de Ariana. Ariana não podia acreditar no que ouvia quando seu marido ou seu futuro ex-marido a humilhou desse jeito. Três anos. Ariana Harlow deu a Noah Nelson, três anos e ainda assim, quando ela o pegou beijando sua irmã mais velha, Ariel —— foi isso que ele disse a ela. "Eu vou me divorciar de você," Ari declarou e partiu. Ela partiu sem um tostão, mas Ari tropeçou em Nicolai. O inimigo e rival de seu marido, o príncipe da Máfia da Cidade de Lonest, um bastardo notório conhecido por suas tendências violentas. O encontro infeliz a colocou no caminho de Nicolai, e assim como isso ele a fixou em seu olhar. Na primeira vez que se encontraram, Nicolai pediu para ser convidado para jantar. Na segunda vez que se encontraram, ele lhe entregou um milhão de dólares. Na terceira vez que se encontraram, ele declarou, "Você ficará bem em meus braços, o que você diz, princesa?" ******** ```
