MTL - She Came To My Concert - Chapter 34

“No one looks at you. No one touches you. You’re a Whitehall now... And you’re mine.” Roman’s voice was a low, dangerous growl against her neck.She tilted her chin, meeting the predator in his eyes with her own cold fire. “I belong to no one, Roman, certainly not a beast in a jersey. If you want to claim me, you’ll have to do better than your father’s signature on a contract.”She spun her wheelchair to leave, but he was faster. His hand locked around her waist, dragging her back as his palm slammed against the wall beside her head.“Don’t you fucking dare me, Estelle.”—Estelle Rutledge was the Ice Queen of the Rutledge sports dynasty: national treasure, global brand, and the financial backbone of her family’s empire.Until one catastrophic crack on the ice shattered her career… and left her in a wheelchair.In the elite world of the one percent, a broken asset becomes a liability.With the Rutledge legacy collapsing under a mountain of debt, Estelle’s own mother did the unthinkable. She sold her daughter to the highest bidder, trading Estelle’s freedom for a check from Magnus Whitehall, the ruthless billionaire owner of a professional hockey empire.But Magnus didn’t buy Estelle for himself. He bought her to be his son’s leash.Roman Whitehall is the NHL’s most dangerous beast. A volatile heir with a scandal-soaked reputation and a temper that threatens the family’s billions. To the league’s board, he’s a loose cannon. To his father, he’s a problem that needs a wife to clean up his image.The command was simple: “Be the one thing he can’t avoid… or lose your legs.”Now Estelle is legally bound to a man who sees their marriage as a cage, and her as the bars holding him in. Roman believes she’s a fragile burden. Estelle thinks he’s a monster fueled by rage and secrets.But inside the Whitehall mansion, built on power, money, and lies, Estelle discovers a terrifying truth: she is not the first “Ice Queen” Magnus Whitehall has broken.Trapped in dynasty politics and a contract signed in blood, Estelle faces an impossible choice. Will she let the Whitehalls destroy what’s left of her… or join forces with the beast she hates most and burn their empire to the ground?Because even though she hates it, Roman Whitehall may be the only man who can help her stand again.Even if he has to break her first.

You have defeated the Mobius King Titan!][Ding! You have defeated the Primordial Demon General!][Ding! You have gained the Dual Soul-Core!]I was just an average guy with normal dreams, you know? The kind of dreams that teenagers have at one point in their lives. However, I learned the hard way that dreams are completely different from reality.In the real world, your fate decided your life, and mine was twisted. My father and brother died in an accident, and after attempting to save my mother from her condition, I got hit by a truck.But death wasn't always the end of one's journey.Moments after my death, I discovered I awakened the Dragon Sage system and was transmigrating into another world when suddenly, my transmigration was altered by the spell of a goddess whose goal was to summon capable Soul-Hunters.Because of that, I got transmigrated into the wrong world with two of my classmates. Not as a hero, not even as a low-class villian, but as a no-named character who wasn't even relevant to the story, a character rejected by the author at chapter 2.An extra.But hey, in this world where an individual's place in society was decided by their talents, I knew my fate would change now that I had a system, and I awakened a talent too.But something went wrong.[Error... Error... Error]While others awakened talents beyond comprehension, due to an unexpected event, I awakened nothing and was faced with mockery, and eventually, I was abandoned by my teammates.However, moments before my death, I discovered that because of the goddess's intervention, I awakened something, something no human should have been able to.[Due to System errors, your false awakening has been deleted.][Due to System errors, the hosts Soul-Cores will be reset back to it's default state.][Due to system errors, all restrictions has been removed from level 5!][Due to system errors, all cooldowns has been temporarily disabled!][Rebooting System Functions...][System functions has been successful rebooted!][Ding!

Now, armed with an army no one man should possess, I took on this world only to discover that my journey wasn't just about becoming the strongest, it was about surviving. So the war against these Soul-Beasts? It wasn't just humanity's fight anymore, it was mine.I refuse to be at the mercy of fate, so if this world rejected me, I'll reject it too. It made sure of that when it tried to eliminate me._________________________________[A/N: A bit moderate paced.Additionally tags: Summons, dragons, extra, weak to strong.

Other people’s bad reputation, if not because of themselves, then it’s slandered by others. Jing Wan’s bad reputation wasn’t because of herself, but schemed by her future husband. Hong Yuan’s bad reputation wasn’t caused by others, but of his own design, only for the sake of marrying the woman he has had eyes on for two lifetimes! One unable to take a bride, one unable to marry. Because he was the number one handsomest man, but she wasn’t the number one beauty. So it was still her who has earned? What the hell?

What was it like to cross over and become an AI?

Li Wenyuan, who was hit by the meteorite, managed to know that feeling.

It was good that he found that the planet he controlled… seemed to be rather special.

“Precious living metal? A random wall here is living metal!”

“Zelo? You’re saying that Wise Machines don’t need this? Sorry, psychic machinery or something is in production now.”

“Interstellar colony? How about building a ringworld?”

This was a story of kingdom building, which was also a story of human exploration of the universe from the past.

There were space wars, interstellar expeditions, civilizational observations, and galactic epics.

“So…” Some years later, facing the disaster that was about to sweep across the galaxy, the unmanned fleet controlled by Li Wenyuan stood out passively.

“They all think I am a lost empire, and I can only go and do what a lost empire should do.”
