Business Proposal Chapter 1

In the shadowed alleys of Ravenwood, Celeste Osborne finds herself irresistibly drawn to the enigmatic and dangerously alluring Lucian Bathory. Hired as an au pair for the mysterious Bathory family, Celeste quickly discovers that Lucian is no ordinary man—he’s a centuries-old vampire with a thirst for blood and a hunger that goes far beyond the physical. As Celeste is pulled deeper into Lucian’s dark world, the boundaries between fear and desire begin to blur. Her days are filled with tension, but it’s in the secret hours of the night that their passions ignite. Lucian’s touch awakens something wild within her, something she never knew existed, but it comes at a price. His world is one of power, danger, and ancient rivalries, and loving him means embracing a darkness that could consume her whole. As their forbidden romance intensifies, Celeste must decide if she’s willing to surrender to the seductive pull of Lucian’s world, where every kiss could be her last and every touch could bind her to him for eternity. In this tale of love, lust, and immortality, Celeste will learn that some desires are worth risking everything—even her soul. "Crimson Shadows: Forbidden Thirst" is Book I of the Crimson Shadows series. It is a dark and passionate story where love and danger entwine, pushing the boundaries of what it means to surrender to desire.

Третья мировая продолжается на просторах виртуального мира, где под флагами своих стран соберутся все, кто способен дать отпор противнику. Не прошедших отбор в вирт, отправляют проливать реальную кровь на границах. Несмотря на немалый опыт в играх я оказался отсеян, но избежал участи пушечного мяса заключив странный контракт. В итоге получил странного персонажа и немалые подъемные на старте, теперь мне предстоит адаптироваться в новом вирт-мире и набрать мощь. Как? Ответа на этот вопрос нет. Примечания автора: Изначально интерфейсы адаптированы в зависимости от наличия игрового опыта под реал/привычное управление, постепенно идет перенастройка сознание на гибрид управления - прямое взаимодействие и сила мысли. Подразумевается что управляет вирт-миром искин. Сторонний доступ к базам невозможен, лишь "по великому блату" и за "огромные деньги" внесение корректировок на старте (при первом входе в мир). Дальнейшее вмешательство и контроль извне невозможны. Основные противники: Штаты - Российская коалиция.
