The only way is to survive, and win.
There is no losing.
You must survive."
Ethan Mannon got the game THE OFF LIMIT by accident. The game significantly changed Ethan's life, who was on the verge of death. However, THE OFF LIMIT is something very dangerous. Will Ethan survive to get his wish or try to destroy THE OFF LIMIT?
Chapter 1
"Welcome to the OFF LIMIT game."
The voice resounded across the empty room with its bright lights and shiny white walls. The young man was dressed in a worn-out black T-shirt and knee-length plaid shorts, which stood off the white floor and the young man’s attire. There was simply Ethan’s standing, bewildered figure in the middle of the room. Something unusual was going on in the unfamiliar area. The young man had just arrived, and his adrenaline started to race.
"Select your weapon."
Walls were line with drawers containing a variety of weaponry as the robotic woman’s voice rang out.
"The first battle will start in 30 seconds."
Ethan’s eyed widened.
“Thirty second? What kind of game is this? Tell me about it?!" The young man screamed loudly.
"29 seconds."
“Damn," Ethan said.
He had just started playing an odd game. There was no time to learn more about the game since he had to choose a weapon, and Ethan wasn’t sure which one to choose. He went through the many tools, each with a different function. It was brief: Ethan didn't realize it was only thirty seconds.
"Four.”
…
"Three."
It was the only item that caught Ethan’s attention, so he grabbed up a shield without thinking. A basic shield was both cooler and more effective than the numerous different types of weapons, as he thought.
"Two."
Ethan yelled in anguish, "Oh my God!"
"One."
Silence.
Ethan's strained, the only sounds were Ethan’s labored, uneven breathing. In his hands, the shield felt so heavy that he almost dragged it. The weapon drawers slid back into the wall very silently. In front of Ethan, a door that opened into a dimly lighted corridor was making moving noises. The young man hesitated, unsure of whether to continue or turn around. There didn't appear to be any other option than to head for the exit door.
His heart kept saying, “It was just a game”. He obtained it from a cheap game console. From a stranger he met this morning. Nothing horrible would happen because it was all just a fantasy. After finishing what would definitely be a boring game, Ethan would have to deal with difficult days and worse in the real world. He shouldn't pass up the chance to temporarily escape reality.
Despite the fact that his heart was beating before the game. He had no idea that when he hit the "Start" button, he would be taken there, like in another realm.
He passed through the door and into the shadowy corridor. As soon as he walked through the door, it immediately shut.
Ethan started moving faster after a short while when he saw a light ahead so that he could see what was right in front of him. He stood on a grassy hill at the threshold and was merely stunned to see green everywhere; in front of him was the border with the tropical forest. Human beings were seen at the exact doorway he had just gone through, but the doors vanished as soon as they exited.
“I must be dreaming,” Ethan said in shock.
As soon as Ethan reached the threshold, the door behind him vanished. The information Ethan required was shown on a holographic screen that, when he blinks, transforms into a pair of glasses.
**[Game Level: 1 - THE FOREST]
[Name: Ethan Mannon]
[Age: 22 years old]
[Classification: Tank]
[Status: Greenhorn]**
“What is this?” he said.
Ethan blinked once more. His view was being obscured by a holographic screen, which he was trying to remove. He went to glance at some of the other people who were around, who seemed to be confused. However, many appeared to be aware of what they ought to do. The hologram screen vanished from their field of view as soon as they put pressure on their temples.
Ethan felt something as he lightly touched his right temple. It had a coldness about it like an iron plate. His eyes widened in an instant. There had been a microchip added. Ethan was terrified. As he kept pressing the button on the temple, different subtitles started to show up on the holographic screen.
**[Armor: Shield level 1]
[Power: +1]
[Buff: None]
[Skill: None]**
Ethan tapped the button once again, and the holographic display disappeared. He felt nervous, dread, and curious; emotions he had never felt before. For the first time, he was participating in a game, and everything seemed to be completely real.
“I’m such a newbie,” Ethan said. “What should I do right away?”
He decided it would be better to join the group of twenty or so individuals who were running into the tropical forest. Following them. Ethan had never run so swiftly, and when he got close to the woodland’s edge, he was already worn out. Would it be okay for him? It began to feel a creep of unease. Would it have no effect on his skinny, frail, and delicate body?
“Hey you!” Someone was shouting from the area in front of Ethan. “What are you doing? Quickly! Run!”
“What?” Ethan was in awe.
“Run, you idiot!”
The man indicated a number of unidentified coyotes had approached from the direction of the hill, from which Ethan had earlier emerged. The coyotes gave off the impression of being ravenous and ready to rip off any potential meal.
Ethan said in a panic, "Damn it!"
He followed the throng of people that continued running into the forest, without knowing where they were going. Not knowing what the objective was. The goal of this game is to avoid coyotes. Is it correct? Ethan had it in mind.
Getting into the forest is not an easy task. Fallen tree trunks, vegetation, and cracks with lakes of mud were some of the difficulties. As a result, they went more slowly and drew nearer to the coyotes.
A player stumbled and landed in a mud puddle. He tried to get out, but the mud dragged him in and made it impossible.
As he passed Ethan, the young man shouted, “Help me, help me!”
Ethan halted his steps since he couldn’t leave the helpless man alone. Just as Ethan was about to close the distance, his shoulder was grabbed by someone.
“Run! Don’t bother him!” Added another player.
Ethan shifted his gaze back and forth between the young man stuck in the mud and the person holding his shoulder. “But...”
“Do you want to waste your life? Move as far as you can! Just go!” As he rushed away from Ethan, the man yelled.
The coyote pack assaulted the player, who was stuck in the mud, because they were too close and leaped up. The young man's body instantly ripped apart. Ethan sees a pool of fresh blood and dirt.
Ethan could hear a mournful sound, which was mingled with the sounds of numerous growls vying for human flesh. What was once a living being?
Ethan’s head was trembling.
He backed off slowly, then sprinted as afar as he could.
It was awful. The most heinous thing Ethan had ever witnessed in his entire life.
The young man wondered with fear, "What kind of game am I in?"

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.

Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
