The Crown and The Rose - Chapter 23: Sleep With Me

After the ‘100-Year War’ between the Necromancers and Priests, an all-time genius who’ll shake the power structure was born. “Am I a rare case or something? Do I have talent?” A potential beyond all imagination. He obtained his father’s undead army and entered the great Necromancer school of Kizen that divided the continent. Geniuses are geniuses, even when gathered among the elites. The research community was flipped on its head by the appearance of a new case. Professors wouldn’t leave him be alone, wanting to make him study directly under them. Officials from all over the kingdom and heads of organizations fidgeted over whether to scout him. “Professor! When can I make a Lich?” “Gimme a break. How talented are you? You’re crossing the line, honestly.” A genius among geniuses had appeared.

Due to a conspiracy, she was brought back from the countryside to marry him as a substitute bride to bring good luck.Ugly and untalented in medicine? Let's see how she magically heals and showcases absolute beauty!The socialites of Bayside, whose faces were swollen from slaps, complained to Mr. Crawford...Wait a minute, her frail husband turned out to be a business tycoon capable of dominating everything. She rushed over to hug his leg, “Husband, weren't you on the verge of being incapable?”He wore an expression as if he was going to devour her, “It seems I must physically show you whether I am capable or not!”

“Dad, when mom dies, can Aunt Chloe become my new mom?”“...Okay!”Heartbroken, Serena Sinclair decisively filed for divorce.Certain that she would regret it, Adrian Lockwood agreed without hesitation.He didn't expect that after the cooling-off period ended, Serena left without a trace of reluctance.On a stormy night, Adrian sent a message to Serena.“Serena, don't push me to act. You know my temper!”“Serena, I'm giving you one last chance! ...Come back obediently, and things will be just like before!”“Serena, Miles misses you. I miss you too. Won't you come back?”The phone rang with a cold and faintly amused voice, “Adrian Lockwood, you're so shameless! ...If you don't want to die, stay away from my wife!”...Wyatt Hawthorne didn't believe in fate, but later he discovered that long ago, destiny had already cast its net around him.That net had a beautiful name called Serena Sinclair.

“Success is a shallow foundation built on luck and circumstance. Failure, accumulated and stacked like endless bodies in a mass grave, forges the deepest roots into unshakable power. I know all this about power with surety as all I had were countless failures. After all, I am Vakochev, and I set the very Scales of Existence. This... is my story. Existence, is my Story.”---In the brutal Lands of Stone, where mountains move and beasts devour civilizations whole, power is the only currency that matters.Damian Vakochev was once a prince to a glorious power, but he was stripped of that power, family, and everything he held dear as he was left with a shattered foundation.In an age where tribes war for scraps and Neolithic Empires crush all who oppose them, where ancient beasts roam territories older than memory and Mana flows through the Lands of Stone like blood through veins, where Warriors reinforced by Mana who could go against entire armies and Primal Beasts could devour entire mountains, Damian looks upon it all and asks...why?Who said things had to be the way they were? Who decided what power truly was?Why could he not stand over the tallest mountain and declare exactly what power was as he saw fit?!Why did he have to follow the set path of cultivation? Why were others born with Land and Sky Physiques while he was not? What prevented him setting up his own rules and his own paths?!
