Jian Ci is the light. An S-class Esper, his powers ripple with the warmth of a thousand suns, his smile a blinding beacon that draws humanity, and hope, to him like moths to a flame. He is the Sun, a magnetic force of nature, utterly unaware of the abyss that gazes back. Yu Xi is the dark. A shadow with skin, a man who walks through life with a silent, consuming emptiness, broken only by a singular, scorching singularity... Jian Ci. He is the Abyss, a dark constellation orbiting a single star, and his existence is now defined by the answer to one terrifying question. How far are you willing to go for him? Yu Xi’s response, spoken as clearly as a death sentence. “To hell and back.” This is the story of an impossible equation: Light + Darkness = ? It is a love that warps physics and morality, a descent into an obsession so profound it threatens to rip the very fabric of their world. Yu Xi knows their combination is impossible, a contradiction that should result in utter annihilation. Yet, with a quiet, terrifying devotion, he is prepared to burn the world, his own soul included, if it means securing his star.

The century-old war between witches and werewolves has finally ended. Peace reigns. Or so it seems. Because that peace came with a price. Something stirs in the shadows. Dark creatures now hunt wolf, witch, and human alike. The world needs a savior... one born of chaos and magic. Celeste Bloodoak was supposed to be that savior. Daughter of the North American Alpha King and his hybrid Luna Queen, she should’ve inherited greatness. But she didn’t. Wolfless. Nearly powerless. Scorned by her peers, rejected by the Alpha she loves and pitied by her own family, Celeste has always lived in her twin brother’s shadow. Until she meets him—a man forged in blood and darkness. A creature that shouldn’t exist. A vampire. And as if resisting that dangerous pull weren’t enough, Celeste’s world shatters during Bloodoak Academy’s Mating Ball... when she discovers she’s mated to four men. Not one. Not two. FOUR. Her arrogant Alpha ex. His calm, calculating Beta brother. A witch who wants nothing to do with her. And the mysterious vampire whose kiss tastes like sin. One girl. Four mates. And a bond that could save—or doom—the world. In this dance of blood, power, and forbidden desire, will Celeste rise as the prophesied heir… or fall to the darkness that calls her name?

Roxanna died in a snowstorm apocalypse after being betrayed by her ex-husband and her best friend. But instead of resting in peace, she wakes up in the body of Roxanna Vixelle, the infamous Pink Fox villainess who tortured her five beast husbands for fun. Worse, the system in her head says: [Mandatory Survival Action: Mate with one of your husbands to gain +5 days of life.] [Failure Consequence: Death in 48 hours.] She thought she would never be able to complete that mission because after all, her husbands despise her. But without her realizing it, all five of them can hear every single thought inside her adorable little head. So when the system gives her that impossible quest again… All her husbands immediately line up in front of her like soldiers waiting for inspection. Dog husband: “CHOOSE ME! I’m the strongest! I have stamina for DAYS!” Fish husband: “I… I promise to be gentle.” Cat husband: “Step aside. She’ll choose who she wants.” Albino Lizard husband: “If mating will stabilize her lifespan, then I will do it.” Bird husband: “HEY! Don’t volunteer yourself first!” From then on, her lifespan would continue to increase, but at what cost? ==== Disclaimer: this is a REVERSE HAREM, meaning the female lead doesn’t need to choose.

They say seven is the number of perfection. For Luna Seraphine, it was the number that ended her silence. Six times, she tore the divorce papers apart, choosing love over pride, endurance over dignity, surrendering to the cruel demands of the mate who never cherished her. The seventh time, she signed her name without trembling. Alpha Ravyn panicked. His mistress, Daisy, the daughter of Seraphine’s former nanny, laughed it off. She’s only throwing a tantrum, they said. She’ll crawl back. They were wrong. The truth shattered what little remained of her heart: the child she had loved and raised for six years was never hers. That revelation became her breaking point and her rebirth. This time, Luna Seraphine walked away without looking back. As her power rose, so did Ravyn’s regret. The Alpha who once discarded her now slept outside her door, desperate for a single glance. But the woman who opened that door was no longer the Luna he broke. Cold. Untouchable. Unforgiving. Ravyn fell to his knees, begging for her hand, only to realize he was no longer the only one. Men of influence and power now competed for her attention. Because Luna Seraphine was no longer just a Luna. She was a world-renowned business mogul. A shadowed philanthropist. The most sought-after surgeon of her time, and a cyber genius. This time, she is not surviving the story written for her. She is rewriting it. And only she decides how it ends.

Elara has always felt different. Gifted—or cursed—with the ability to sense emotions, she’s spent most of her life hiding from the world, afraid of what she might discover about people… or herself. Life at the shelter is her anchor, a place where she belongs, until one day, the line between normal and extraordinary shatters. When Tony, a mysterious operative leading a covert government agency, recruits her, Elara is thrown into a world she never imagined. Surveillance, tactical operations, and life-or-death missions become her new reality. But this isn’t just about danger—it’s about trust, instinct, and the invisible currents of human emotion that she alone can navigate. Some of her challenges? Stopping Nyx, a sniper so precise and unpredictable that even seasoned agents struggle to anticipate her moves. Then comes a high-profile kidnapping—the Mayor’s daughter. Every detail matters, every second counts, and one wrong move could cost a life… or her own. Elara must learn to balance her ordinary world with this extraordinary double life, all while keeping her heart tethered to the people she loves and the humanity she refuses to lose. Each mission pushes her limits, tests her courage, and forces her to confront a simple, terrifying truth: sometimes seeing too much can be as dangerous as seeing too little. Fast-paced, tense, and emotionally charged, Beyond My Clues is a story about power, morality, and the strength it takes to stand between chaos and survival—while learning who you really are in the process.

[5 daily update continue next week] [WARNING: MATURE CONTENT R18] [SMUT! NO NTR!] Rick Rolland didn’t expect to die young while gooning to some peak milf video, and he definitely didn’t expect to wake up in a world of dragons, elves, ancient empires, and magic older than civilization itself. But even worse than death was the cheat ability he received. Right after reincarnating, a small glowing figure floated out of his chest. A tiny chibi old-butler spirit with monocle, mustache, and a permanent irritated look. “Ahem. Welcome to Zorathia, gooner user.” [MATURE AFFINITY SYSTEM ONLINE] “You can only gain EXP by increasing affection with women aged 30 or above. Try not to die… while gooning again because you can have womans now...” Rick froze. Other isekai heroes would kill goblins, slay dragons, or train with legendary swords. But him? He levels up by seducing older women. “Slay goblins? Too simple. Lift a sword? Too mainstream. You, gooner user, must charm experienced ladies until they blush. It builds character and yours is nonexistent.” And just like that, Rick’s life in Zorathia spiraled into chaos. -------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: There will be A LOT of lemons, No NTR, No Yuri, but there's a little bit of netori in it.

Manchester United, once a dominant force in world football, finds itself struggling under Erik ten Hag despite having the financial power to rebuild. Big-money transfers fail to restore the club’s glory, forcing Ten Hag to shift his focus to homegrown talent. Among the overlooked prospects in the U18 squad is Leo Calderon, a 17-year-old central midfielder buried deep in the pecking order. Lacking physicality and dismissed by teammates as weak, Leo endures constant ridicule from those who dominate with strength and athleticism. But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects. Yet, there’s a problem. His vision surpasses his ability. The passes he attempts don’t connect, his technique unable to match his newfound awareness. Coaches dismiss his efforts as sloppy, and his struggles continue. But one unexpected observer—a visiting League One assistant coach—notices something different. He watches Leo’s movements, seeing potential where others see failure. As Leo fights to prove himself in an unforgiving system, the question lingers—can he refine his raw talent before the club moves on without him? ****************************** Also, all rights reserved for the companies and teams and also players I use in the novel since I don't know how image rights work and I'm too lazy to search it up on Bing-, I mean google Also, character arts are not mine or AI-generated.

Humanity collapsed in a single night. When the sky darkened and a perpetual night arrived, even the strongest monsters turned feral, tearing through cities until nothing was left but ruin. Dying alone in the ruined world, Ryn Eden Arctis finally understood the truth. Years ago, he was given a strange skillbook—one the church labeled taboo, one no one dared to touch. But the world had taken it away from him. However, he knew that—whatever was inside it, had to be powerful enough for him to stop this calamity. His final regret echoed through the silent wasteland: “If I had learned that damn book, we’d still be alive.” With his dying breath, he wished for only one thing: To go back in time and claim that forbidden power, no matter what. A single star answered. Ryn opens his eyes ten years earlier, on the day he received his first skill. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Korean Regressor Fantasy, if you like that genre this might be the one for you. Think (Trash of the Count's Family, Swordmaster's Youngest Son, FFF-Class Trash Hero) - Romance subplot is prevalent. This is not a harem novel! - MC is NOT naive, and will NOT be afraid to make morally gray choices! Readers advised!

What if, in an alternate universe, Lord Krishna never existed during the era of the Mahabharata? What if Karna was never found by a charioteer, but was instead taken away by the Sun God, Surya, when Kunti abandoned him? Instead of being called as Sutaputra or Radheya, what is he is called the son of Goddess Sangya? What if Karna’s birth was not an accident but carried a cosmic purpose? In this world, with no Lord Krishna, the enemies whom he slew, like Narakasura and Kamsa, exist... their actions bound to leave deep marks on history. And what happens to the Pandavas with no Lord Krishna to show them the way? Will they be forced to take drastic steps? How would the history turn out? This fanfiction reimagines the epic with Karna at its center, not only as a warrior caught in royal conflicts of the Kuru Dynasty, but as a man searching for the true reason behind his existence. **** Note: This is just a fanfiction. Don't take it too seriously about certain events or actions.

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it. *** This work is a translation. Og author: Amdkorn(ИванИваныч) Og name: Масс Эффект. Солдат и Корпорат.

The New World began after the apocalypse descended. When humanity finally reached beyond the stars, the magic from another dimension noticed them. It connected with the people of Celestia, turning all the girls into witches. But this awakening led to the destruction of that Old World. With no other choice, the last researchers of Ark-9 made a decision. They stole Aether from another world and forced him into a new body to create the Chief. He was given the role of stopping the witches and fix the world. He was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awaken him for the mission. But what greeted them were words filled with all of his hatred and resentment. “Fuck off.” He mocked them for thinking he would ever walk that cold and disgusting path laid out for him. And when the prison holding him finally broke, he took his first step with a plan in mind. The witches the researchers hate, he will love them all. But is it even possible to seduce monsters who destroyed the world? Or will Aether just become another one of their victims?

When King Aerin Vale ascends the throne at just twenty years old, he expects political tension, trade disputes, and maybe the occasional assassination attempt. What he does not expect is an endless parade of noblewomen, warriors, sorceresses, merchants, foreign princesses, and self-proclaimed “destined queens” flooding the palace gates. According to royal law, Aerin must choose a queen within one year — or the throne will pass to another bloodline. To help him decide, the ancient kingdom activates a magical relic known as the Harem Alarm. Its purpose is simple: It rings when a potential partner is dangerous, dishonest, or disastrously incompatible. The problem? It rings all the time. As Aerin navigates speed-dates disguised as banquets, duels framed as “courtship rituals,” and romantic misunderstandings that nearly start wars, he begins to realise something unsettling: The women who cause the loudest chaos aren’t always the wrong ones… And the one who barely sets off the alarm at all might be hiding in plain sight. This is not a story about choosing the most powerful woman. Or the most beautiful. Or the loudest. It’s about finding the right one — while the entire kingdom watches, laughs, and bets against him.

Shinji is expendable.** As an E-rank adventurer, he’s the bottom rung on the ladder, worthy only of carrying supplies and drawing fire. After three years of loyalty, his party finally betrays him, sealing him behind a runic door to die as bait for a pack of ravenous High Orcs so they can escape with their precious loot. But death is not the end. As Shinji's life bleeds away onto the cold stone, his final thoughts are not of fear, but of a burning vow for vengeance against the Demon Lord, Zany, who destroyed his family and his world. This resolve catches the attention of **Hinata, the Goddess of Death**. It was her mercy eons ago that allowed a fallen god to become the very Demon Lord Shinji now hates. Plagued by guilt, she offers him a brutal bargain: a second chance at life, armed with a devastating new power. She grants him **Apex Devour**—a cursed ability to consume the essence of every demon he slays and claim their strength as his own. Along with it comes **Azura**, a sentient sword that hungers for demon blood and promises evolution in exchange for carnage. Resurrected and reborn into a broken world, Shinji is no longer the weak, trusting boy he once was. He is a predator in the making. His journey will be a year-long descent into blood and agony, hunting the demonic legions from the bottom up. He will devour his way through the ranks, from mindless beasts to Zany's four legendary generals, to confront the ultimate source of the world's despair. But with every demon he consumes, he risks losing his humanity to the very darkness he seeks to destroy. To kill a god, must he become a monster?
