Demon Slayer Vol 18

Imagine your boss pays you to spy on his fiancée. You need the cash to save your brother, so you take the job. Simple. Until you get caught by the man she’s sleeping with. He’s Foxe; a dicey billionaire who immediately pulls you into his orbit. But just as the tension with him sparks, you find yourself falling for your boss, too. Now you’re trapped in a messy triangle between the man who hired you and the one you’re investigating. And the fiancée? She isn’t just unfaithful; she's homicidal. After surviving her active attempts to kill you, you realize this isn't just a job anymore. You’re dodging bullets and breaking hearts… You're Anella Bymor.

People said the King appointed me his son’s Beta to stop my family from mutiny. Our wolves were like gods compared to the wolves of Aquilonia, but the King did not need to appoint me his son’s beta to secure our loyalty, nor did he need to fear a rebellion from my people. We owed him our lives.  King Nikolas should have turned us away or killed us when we arrived at the shore of a town in his kingdom. Instead, he allowed us to settle and multiply. The King appointed me as Mathias's Beta because he trusted me.  A trust I feared I would break because something had happened to me along the line. As cold-hearted as I was, his daughter, Jasmine, had caught my attention. It was a clandestine truth, hidden from the world. I had yet to decide whether I would act on this truth or not, but with each passing day, my determination to keep my distance from Jasmine waned. I found myself pondering how much longer I could resist the inevitable breaking point. WARNING: Matured themes are included for narrative purposes and may not be suitable for all readers.

Fui sola al concierto de mi cantante favorito. En la parte de las dedicatorias, el corazón me latía con fuerza. Recé en silencio para que la suerte me escogiera a mí. Pero al siguiente segundo, en la pantalla gigante apareció mi esposo, que supuestamente estaba de viaje por trabajo, y a su lado estaba su primer amor, Patricia Castellón. —Quiero pedir una canción: "Volver al pasado", volver tres años atrás, cuando Nicolás jamás habría terminado con Patricia. El público estalló en aplausos y vítores, celebrando aquella historia de amor. Solo yo, entre la multitud, me quedé con el rostro empapado en lágrimas. En la siguiente ronda de dedicatorias, de pronto vi en la pantalla mi propia cara hinchada de tanto llorar. —Yo también quiero pedir "Volver al pasado", volver al momento en que nunca habría aceptado la propuesta de matrimonio de Nicolás Varas.

Sage Casey Ember-Brooks, who goes by Casey, is a fast-food worker and aspiring fantasy novelist whose ordinary life crumbles when mysterious strangers ask cryptic questions about her dragon series. Her recurring dreams of golden coins suddenly make terrifying sense when Marcus Chen—a businessman with eyes that flash gold—reveals that dragons are real, living hidden among humans for centuries. Casey's unnaturally accurate fantasy writing stems from awakening genetic memories. She's a rare "Convergence" bloodline capable of harmonising opposing elemental forces. The revelation comes at a critical time: a new cryptocurrency called DragonCoin, featuring symbols identical to her dreams, creates magical interference that weakens concealment spells protecting dragon society. At the Crossroads shopping complex where she works, disruptions cause dragons to flicker between human and true forms in full view of witnesses. Caught between Marcus (a traditionalist who wants to hide her with the Dragon Council) and the enigmatic Xaihuang (who advocates ending the masquerade entirely), Casey discovers an underground chamber housing ancient dragon artifacts. When she touches a magical coin, visions reveal three futures: chaotic revelation leading to war, continued concealment resulting in magical extinction, or a mysterious third path of integration. Casey realises DragonCoin wasn't created to expose dragons, but by another awakening hybrid like herself—someone in Seattle whose unconscious dragon heritage channels ancient power through modern technology. As magical concealment fails worldwide and dragons begin manifesting publicly, Casey must race across the country to find this unknown programmer before the interference between magic and technology tears reality apart. The story explores themes of identity, integration versus assimilation, and the collision between ancient power and digital-age innovation. With her awakening abilities growing stronger and the masquerade crumbling around her, Casey faces a choice that will determine her fate and the future relationship between the hidden magical world and human civilisation.

Estava com uma pancreatite aguda. Fui ao hospital em busca de socorro, mas os médicos se recusaram a me tratar, pois o meu marido era médico do pronto-socorro e havia ordenado a todos que não me atendessem. Na minha vida passada, bastava uma ligação para que ele aparecesse imediatamente ao meu lado. Mas, depois que seu grande amor morreu num acidente, ele jogou a culpa em mim, como se eu fosse a responsável por cada desgraça que se seguiu. No aniversário da minha mãe, ele envenenou toda a minha família e, em seguida, me esfaqueou repetidas vezes com um bisturi. — Dói? Jackie sentiu muita dor antes de morrer. Se não fosse por você, ela não teria saído no meu lugar. Você a matou, então vou fazer você e sua família morrerem por ela! Enquanto ele falava, seus olhos estavam frios e enlouquecidos, e cada golpe era carregado de ódio, como se só assim pudesse aliviar a própria culpa. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia em que tive pancreatite aguda depois de beber até o limite por causa dele. Mas desta vez, ele correu até Jackie Morse sem a menor hesitação. Acreditou ter feito a escolha certa, convicto de que finalmente estava seguindo o próprio coração. Mais tarde, foi ele quem veio até mim, ajoelhando-se aos meus pés, implorando que eu o aceitasse de volta, como se arrependimento tardio pudesse apagar tudo o que havia feito.
