The Duke's Masked Wife 2: The Prince's Outcast Bride - Chapter 5: Trouble (1)

[Contains explicit content, violence, and mature themes]Infinite Breaker Online descended on Earth, forcing humanity to play 12 hours daily and initiating events. Axir Grimspire rises to become one of the top players of Earth, one of the ten sovereigns, after five years of brutal warfare. He has everything—power, a guild, a girlfriend he adores, and trusted friends.Or so he thought.Betrayed by those closest to him, Axir learns the horrifying truth: his girlfriend and friends used him as a tool, his sister was murdered by the men he called brothers, and now they're casting him into Godfall Abyss—a forbidden zone where the player's death is permanent if they die there. No respawn.But as Axir dies, he triggers an Ultra Unique Event in the forbidden zone: the Abyss of Desire, which grants him one wish. He chooses to return to one week before the game's beta launch with memories intact.But his wish has consequences. Triggering the Abyss of Desire would connect the Abyss Realm to all planets connected to the game's server, a higher dimension world called World of Belkris, and gods from various mythologies would manifest, offering humanity divine boons upon fulfilling requirements. On top of that, World of Belkris is 50% different in everything, from the geography of the Belkris to the fickle luck that changes constantly to develop things differently from what Axir once knew.Armed with five years of knowledge and burning for vengeance, Axir begins his second run in a drastically altered game—determined to make his tools of his betrayers rather than being used by them and reach the top.--Discord: BjeQvXzZBB

The waves ripple around me,calling me in a whisper,Into the deepest part of the ocean.As I walk on the soft sand,the water sweeps over my feet,surrounding where I stand,giving me the sweetest sensation.Oh ocean,why do I feel so attracted to you?Why do I feel the tickling of your whispers?As it causes cold shivers down my spine.I could hear your gentle lullaby,It roars like a lion, yet so steady and honestJust like a refined diamond.Oh, sea, why do you call my name in a whisper?Caressing waves upon the shore,Once again you beckon me.Why do you show yourself at my doorstep?Why do I feel your presence everywhere I go?Why do you call me so desperately?I want to know, cause when the sea calls?Who will answer?

Originally, the question Tang Xian was thinking about was whether he should be a hero for a second among this group of destructive bosses, or continue to pretend to be a boss.

Later he found out that if you pretend to be fake, it becomes real.

With so many people in the entertainment industry, the most unpleasant thing for Ye Chen is the hypocrisy of Ren Jing. Ren Jing looks pleasing and upright but Ye Chen couldn’t listen to half a sentence he says.

Then one night, Ye Chen got drunk. When he woke up, there was a naked Ren Jing next to him.

Ye Chen: Son of a *****!

Ye Chen escaped resulting in an accident and dying. Then, the time was like in rewind and he saw himself sitting in his car a minute before he died. He heard a voice inside his head.

“Daily task: kiss Ren Jing and reward after completion; the survival point: 1.”

“Friendship Tip: If the survival point became zero, you will die.”

Ye Chen: ! ! !
