Greed Island Novels & Stories

The guests criticized me again, “People get married to build a life together. You got married just to scheme against your mother-in-law, didn’t you?” “If everyone could get a million dollars just by getting married, why bother working? They might as well get money by taking a wife.” Their gazes were as sharp as blades that could kill. “A man as wicked and cunning as you would’ve been beaten to death back in the old days.” I did not bother arguing with them anymore. Instead, I walked over and turned on the giant screen in the banquet hall. Everyone could see the record of Emerald’s transfer to my bank account as well as our chat history.

"Take care of yourself, Ariana. If you ever need anything... I’m around." "Thanks, Jones. You too." I hung up and stared at my spaghetti. The appetite I’d had five minutes ago was gone, replaced by a sudden craving. It was for a very specific tropical fruit we had found on the island, a sort of wild, creamy custard apple that grew near the hidden spring. The memory of the taste was so vivid I could almost feel the texture on my tongue. I knew it was a long shot, but I looked up a high-end organic grocery store nearby and called them.

Step by step, their greed, selfishness, ingratitude, and betrayal drive them to the edge. Kindness was a choice, a virtue. It was not an obligation, especially not for those who don’t deserve it. I often thought that if I hadn’t had that car, that office building, those connections like Mr. Parker, maybe the person digging through trash under the bridge that night would have been me. This world is never gentle. Sometimes, it’s cruel. This was my final lesson for Winnie and Noah. However, the tuition was steep. Too steep that they would pay for it with their lives.

The Ghost Isle earned its name. It wasn't an island so much as a graveyard of ships and stone, shrouded in a perpetual, unnatural fog. The sea around it churned with grey violence, smashing against jagged black reefs that looked like the teeth of a leviathan. "Steady!" I shouted over the wind, gripping the railing of the Sun’s Fury. "Keep her ten degrees to port! Watch the reefs!" The helmsman, a former fisherman named Pike, wrestled with the wheel. "Current is fighting us, General! It’s like the water wants to push us away!"

The Island of the First Hearth did not appear on any satellite map. It was a tectonic anomaly, a place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge peaked above the surface in a violent collision of fire and frost. As the Aegir’s Wake pierced the permanent veil of volcanic fog, the pack saw it: a jagged crown of obsidian rock shrouded in steam and falling snow. The island was the physical manifestation of the Triad. Rivers of molten lava flowed directly into freezing glacial lagoons, creating a constant, booming roar of steam that masked their signature from any remaining Vanguard trackers.

Kataleya and Solana were next to Igor. — I can feel her vibration from loge! — Kataleya said, stretching out her hands. Igor: — Can we get closer to the Island? Solana: — Yes! But don't expect something simple. After five hours they arrived at Kaquarunda Island, better known as Dream Island. The pirates jumped with joy and satisfaction at having arrived there. It was a very beautiful island, apparently perfect. It was very grassy and green, like flowers, birds and too many squirrels. The happy pirates quickly got off the boat and looked everywhere.

"Looks like this kid needs time to recover." The goddess Persephone smiled as she looked at Aubrey, who was unconscious, "He's been working so hard lately, his strength seems to have run out. Has something happened recently?” The goddess was asking me about Aubrey's problems, but I couldn't concentrate myself. Greedius already has half of Elena's soul, meaning that if he has Aubrey's soul, he has the ability to rise and defeat all the gods. Greedius is a demon of greed, it can satisfy any human desire and if it rules the world, the world will return to a chaotic time when the faith and kindness of Humans disappear, people are willing to kill each other to protect their rights.
