Lin Wanwan slips a jade bracelet onto her wrist—and steps between two worlds. Side A: neon lights, 5G, instant ramen, MRI machines—an age of abundance where food is fast and friendships sometimes slow. Side B: Tang-dynasty sunshine, cracked earth, locust clouds, emperors who ask villagers to skip meals so soldiers can march. A “golden age” that growls with hunger. Lin has no grand plan—only a wish: let the little bean who waits for her at the gate eat his fill, let the gray-haired elders who calls her “treasure” sleep without fear of famine. Lin Wanwan wants to bring small changes to the world she loves, so the family she cherishes can live a little better, then a little better still—because "I has finally found the place that calls my home."

“You motherfucker… don’t come back to this shop again… or else…” Customers flinched at the loud noise. The next second, someone was thrown out of the shop by the delicate but handsome-looking omega shopkeeper. The alpha hunters flinched as they watched the omega shopkeeper move back after throwing an alpha out all on his own, and they all thought the same thing—do not anger the shopkeeper and do not go after him. After all, to these low-level alpha hunters, the omega civilian shopkeeper was a celebrity. However, what these hunters did not know was the secret the omega shopkeeper hid. Not only was he a hunter, but also part of the first-generation hunters who went after the world’s first and last L-class gate, and perished. But Kyle somehow survived. And not only did he survive, but he also found himself returning 10 years after he entered the L-class gate as a dead man walking. With no money and no identity to call his own, Kyle decided to start fresh from the bottom and live a civilian life he was not able to last time. He almost succeeded, if not for the new customers of his that were trying to uncover his identity. The world had changed from the once-bleak one where hunters were feared, to one where hunters were revered as celebrities, but Kyle had no intention of stepping into the limelight. Now, if only others got the message, he would appreciate it as well. After all, he had no intention of mingling with the world of top hunters again, even if the pull tried to bring him back.

Morena Ravenscroft was born noble, yet cursed. A shattered core stole her future as a warrior, leaving her unfit to inherit the power promised to her bloodline. But fate gave her something else.

I was reborn as Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon world. Raised by my kind and loving mother, Delia, my dream was simple: start my journey at ten, become Champion, marry my childhood crush Serena and live a life of fame and comfort. But three months before my journey began, everything changed. I was granted a System, but it was a curse disguised as power. This isn't a tool for becoming a Pokémon Master; it's a Slave System. My journey is no longer about winning badges. It's about enslaving people and Pokémon. The System forces me to "capture" female trainers and Pokémon, binding them to my will. My goal has been twisted from a simple dream into a dark compulsion: build a harem, conquer the human and Pokémon world, and fulfill the System's grim missions, all while wrestling with the morality of my new reality. Story Focus: · Harem Focus: The core goal is the systematic capture of female characters from the anime/games, plus original creations. · Power Progression: Abilities are primarily geared towards conquest, with a slow, realistic progression. · Traveling Party: Conquered females join the journey, with key exceptions (like Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny) who remain at their posts. · Pokémon Policy: A strict, female-only policy for his team. · Minimal Battles: The narrative focuses on conquest, character emotions, and adventures over traditional Pokémon battles. --- Author's Note: This is a dark harem story with a morally conflicted protagonist driven by a corrupting system. A key focus will be exploring the emotions and perspectives of the characters caught in the MC's web, how they feel about their capture, their changing relationships, and their new reality. Feel free to point out any mistakes; the system can get complex!

When I was seventeen, I left my village and went to Dongguan, chasing the kind of hope only a desperate kid believes in. The city didn’t welcome me. I was cheated, bullied, overworked, and nearly robbed— until she appeared. Li Yan. Twenty-three. Beautiful. Mysterious. Untouchable. Everyone in the factory knew her name, but no one dared to talk about her past. Our first meeting? She saved my luggage, shut up the supervisor who tried to bully me, and handed me a warm meal I hadn’t eaten in days. “Stick with me,” she said. “No one here can hurt you again.” People whispered that she was dangerous. That her background was dirty. That she had seen and done things she would never confess. But I saw her crying alone in a tiny rented room. I heard the pain she tried so hard to hide. I realized she gave me all the softness she denied herself. She wasn’t my real sister— but she treated me better than family ever did. And somewhere along the line… the way I looked at her changed. Until the night I discovered her secret— a truth that could destroy both her future and mine. She lives in a world of neon lights, smoky bars, and invisible scars. But she is also the woman who taught me courage, tenderness, and desire. And I made a promise: If the world refuses to protect her, then I will. Because the boy she saved has grown up— and he’s coming back for her.

The holy war is about to come, and the end of being a Gold Saint will be total annihilation. He doesn't want to be the goddess's puppet forever, and is thinking about how to break free from the control of fate. An invitation to the main god space suddenly popped up in front of me.

As Adrian learns the truth about his abilities, he becomes targeted by powerful enemies who fear what he’s destined to become.

Chloe Chen is drowning in student debt, not romance. Pragmatic, sharp-witted, and fiercely sarcastic, she takes a job as the personal assistant to Alexander Wilde, a tech billionaire so handsome he could be a movie star. There's just one tiny problem: Alexander is utterly convinced he's the brooding, dramatic hero of his own bestselling romance novel. His coffee must be a precise 85.3 degrees Celsius. He declares a "corporate cold war" on the coffee shop next door for getting his name wrong. He practices his "smoldering gaze" in the mirror and believes monologues are a legitimate form of conversation. For Chloe, a woman whose love language is sarcasm and survival, it's a waking nightmare. Her only solace is her hilarious internal commentary, the one thing keeping her from fleeing the sheer absurdity of it all. Hired for her impeccable credentials but ultimately retained after impressing him with a spur-of-the-moment Shakespearean sonnet about his tie, Chloe becomes the unwilling supporting character in Alexander's epic. Her job description quickly expands from scheduling meetings to preventing him from buying a zoo for "metaphorical purposes" and translating his dramatic pronouncements for the baffled staff. Yet, amidst the chaos, Chloe begins to see glimpses of a lonely, surprisingly competent man hiding behind the theatrical façade, especially when a genuine business threat emerges. As Chloe navigates his over-the-top world—complete with a classic "vixen" rival and a truly sinister, non-humorous business antagonist—the line between professional duty and personal attraction blurs. Alexander, in turn, is fascinated by the one woman who isn't impressed by his performance, the one who looks at his grand gestures and dares to roll her eyes. Can a woman who lives by practicality teach a man who speaks in plot twists what real love looks like? And can the ultimate Drama King ever learn to be the hero of a simple, authentic love story?

She was sent to fuck him, ruin him, and slit his throat… but she never expected the Don to live. Liach Cisco learned early that life only has two values: usefulness or death. As the daughter of the most ruthless underworld boss alive, she was trained to seduce, manipulate, kill—whatever the job required. And tonight’s job was simple on paper: get close to Sinveer De Luna, the deceptively quiet Don of the most dangerous mafia dynasty in Italy… and put a knife through his ribs. She got the first part right, but did she actually get it right? Sinveer who was the full package of sin, wrapped in muscle and power, broad shoulders, dangerous eyes, a voice that made her thighs part on instinct. She kissed him like a slut trained from birth for sin, rode him with the kind of hunger that makes a man forget the world, made him gasp and grip her hips like she was the last pleasure he’d ever tasted. She made him lust. She made him weak. And then she stabbed him. Once, twice, deep, fatal then he's dead. Or it should have been. Because the second the blade left her hand, she realized the truth: Sinveer De Luna is not a man who dies easily or forgives. And she had just become prey to the deadliest predator alive.

This story charts a path to divinity within a virtual world, mirroring a legend of ruthless ambition in the modern city. Liu Yun was a scavenger, a nobody living in the city's darkest corners. While dying of a terminal disease, he stumbled into the mysterious online game Life’s Mirage. It was a gamble born of despair, yet it triggered a miracle: a complete bind between his soul and his game character. Not only was his illness cured, but he also dragged his avatar's powers into reality, gaining lightning reflexes, an invulnerable physique, and the strength to move mountains. From that moment, Liu Yun’s life split into two thrilling paths. Online, he built a faction with an iron hand, vying against powerful guilds for the ultimate prize: the "City Creation Token." Offline, he ceased to be a victim. Dragged into the violent currents of the criminal underworld and political intrigue, he used his newfound powers to climb from the streets to the throne of a feared crime lord. But power comes at a price. His anomaly disrupted the balance of the world, drawing the eyes of dangerous enemies. Caught in a deadly loop where virtual strategies decide real-world survival, and real-world dangers force desperate in-game progression, Liu Yun must dominate both battlefields. Only then can he pierce the fog, reveal the terrifying mechanism running the world, and claim his destiny.

In the age before remembrance, the heavens burned and a raven fell. From its ashes was born a curse that would one day awaken again. Vayodhra was the son of a heretic monk and a healer accused of defying the gods. When his parents were executed for practicing a forbidden siddhi, their ashes marked him as impure—condemned to live as the outcast of his own sect. Bullied, broken, and forgotten, he stumbled upon a ring pulsing with a dying light— the remnant soul of Kaalravan, the Celestial Raven who once defied Samsara itself. When blood met ash, the raven whispered: “Samsara is mercy only for the blind. Do you wish to see?” From that night onward, karma itself began to tremble. To seek truth, Vayodhra must walk the Aghor Path—where filth becomes purity, and death becomes a teacher. He will carve his vengeance through realms of gods and ghosts, unearth the secrets behind the Raven War, and face the divine hypocrisy that governs all rebirth. Because to shatter Samsara… one must first die to it.

He didn’t grow up with a real name. In the place he was raised, they didn’t bother with names at all. They just burned numbers onto kids, and his number was XI. That’s how people talked to him—like, “Number Eleven, do this,” “Number Eleven, stand there.” It wasn’t a life. It was just… existing. He spent most of his childhood underground. Cold stone floors, dim lamps, the same halls every day. He didn’t know anything about the outside world or why the people there were training him. He only knew that the shadows around him always felt strange, like they were watching him. One night, during some ritual he never understood, something unexpected happened. The shadows that were supposed to kill him didn’t. They moved toward him instead—like they recognized him. Like they’d been waiting for him. After that, he walked out of the fortress. No plan. No idea what to do. He picked the name Kael because he needed something normal to call himself. But the world outside isn’t simple. People stare at him. Some are scared of him. And the shadows that cling to him… he still doesn’t know how to control them, or if they’re even safe. Kael isn’t trying to be special or powerful. He just wants to understand who he is and where he belongs. Maybe he’s just a kid who was treated wrong his whole life. Or maybe he’s something else—something the people in that fortress were afraid to admit. Whatever the truth is, he knows one thing: He’s never going back to being a number again.

When the Wall of Velmara falls—its ancient blood magic shattered—the human kingdom collapses into ruin. Aurelia, a girl marked by fate and feared for her violet eyes, is taken by her father in a desperate attempt to hide her from the horrors awakening beyond the ruins. Survival comes at a price. In a world where dark creatures walk in human form and power commands loyalty, Aurelia is sold to Tenebrarum Mortifer, a terrifying and mysterious ruler of the Shadow Dominion. He is not fully human, but not entirely monster—a being built of beauty and danger. Aurelia enters his domain, where nightmares breathe, shadows obey, and secrets whisper through every corridor. She soon discovers that nothing about her past is as it seems. Caught between a brother’s corruption, a demon’s power, and a destiny she never asked for, Aurelia must decide what she will become: a sacrifice, a pawn of the shadows, or something far more dangerous. Welcome to Aurelia’s world—where power is earned, loyalty is fragile, and darkness does not always mean evil.

She built her empire on blood, fear, and silence. Arora — the infamous queen of the Black Rose Gang — is a name whispered in the underworld, a shadow feared even by monsters. In two years, she turned a crumbling syndicate into an empire. She doesn’t lose. She doesn’t love. Until him. Jack — a man too soft for her world, too bright for her darkness. He was supposed to be a pawn, a hostage she could forget the next day. But his smile, his innocence, his maddening warmth… they tore through her armor one heartbeat at a time. Now she’s torn between the gun and the heart — between the empire she bled to build and the man who makes her want to burn it all down. Because in her world, love isn’t a fairytale. It’s a weapon. And Arora is about to find out what happens when the most dangerous woman alive falls for the one man she was never meant to touch.
