The Tales of Draconic Warlock - Chapter 260: Graduation Exams (2)

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water.Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone.The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor.Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again.This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure.Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her.The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.”The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door.The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist.The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough.Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed.She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both?But the worst one came after the concert.The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path.She looked up.The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth.Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly.“Let’s talk,” he said.Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?”“No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.”Her brain froze.“…What?”“I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.”Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles.This was not how it was supposed to be.Why was the world now skipping steps?NB:This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities.

It all began with a poor orphan who would work every day for long hours to pay for his Aunt's medical bills.When his life begins to fall apart and he is homeless sleeping in an alleyway he hears a robotic voice.{Do you wish to integrate with the Dungeon System}“Yes” he answers, without much to lose.And from then his life had never been the same.He was taken into a dungeon each night to hunt and he began to realise just how little he really knew about the world that was much wider than he thought.

- Description from novelbuddy

Rurik, a young man from the 21st century, gets transmigrated to the past—to the 9th century, one of the most savage and bloody eras in history. He awakens as a 15-year-old Norse farmer. Well aware of the harsh life of farmers during this period, from exploitation by lords to constant Viking raids, he chooses to leave the farming life behind.Rurik embarks on a journey of sailing with the Vikings and commanding raiding parties. This is a slow, somewhat realistic story of rising from a farmer to a Viking lord, and later becoming a noble with territory in Great Britain. Rurik’s most outstanding abilities are his intelligence in handling situations and his strong management skills.The story also introduces historical figures such as Ragnar, Ivar, Olaf, Björn, Harald, Eric, and many others whose names are recorded in history.---Viking tales, while bloody and brutal, are among the most entertaining to read, and I am sure you will have a great time reading this tale.
