A TALE OF TWILIGHT: The Dawn Of The Dark Ages

A rose among thorns perfectly describes Ulyana Vasily’s life. Orphaned at just four years old after witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, Ulyana was raised by her grandfather, Nikolai Vasily, a globally respected business tycoon and one of the most feared Mafia figures in the Underworld. Under his care, she grew up between two worlds: luxury and violence, prestige and power. To the public, she is elegant, intelligent, and untouchable. Behind closed doors, she is the infamous “Mafia Princess,” shaped by trauma, loyalty, and the ruthless empire that raised her. But beneath Ulyana’s carefully controlled life lies one constant source of comfort: Hak Volkov. Silent, dangerous, and fiercely loyal, Hak has spent years at Ulyana’s side as both her protector and her refuge from the violent world surrounding them. Their relationship was never built through grand confessions, but through quiet moments: moonlit conversations on empty balconies, rain soaked escapes through the city streets, and the unspoken understanding that no matter how far he disappeared into the shadows, he would always return to her. Raised in the brutal depths of the Underworld after being orphaned young, Hak was shaped by violence long before he became a man. Under the guidance of his ruthless family, he learned how to survive by becoming invisible within the chaos. While others chased status openly, Hak built power in silence. By eighteen, he had already become one of the most feared and influential figures operating behind the scenes of Silvercrown’s criminal world. Few people know he truly exists. To most, Hak Valkov is only a rumour whispered through the Underworld. Then there is Rowan Volkov; Hak’s young maternal uncle and the man the city knows far too well. Cold, calculating, and dangerously charismatic, Rowan inherited control of the Volkov empire after his father’s untimely death, taking the reins of both the family’s legitimate business empire and its deep Underworld ties at an age far too young for the burden. Since then, he has spent years locked in a bitter rivalry with Nikolai Vasily, Ulyana’s grandfather, as the two powerful patriarchs fought for dominance over Silvercrown from opposite sides of an uneasy peace. Unlike Hak, Rowan does not hide in the shadows. He commands attention wherever he goes. And despite his ruthless reputation, Rowan slowly reveals a side of himself few ever see: patient, intelligent, deeply lonely beneath the weight of leadership, and unexpectedly gentle with Ulyana. What begins as political obligation gradually becomes something far more dangerous as he begins to open his heart to her. But the fragile peace holding Silvercrown together is beginning to fracture. Rival factions, cartel influence, and decades of bloodshed threaten to plunge the seaside city into chaos, forcing the Vasily and Volkov families toward a desperate alliance. Peace comes with one condition: A marriage powerful enough to unite the two bloodlines. Ulyana is chosen as the bride. The problem is that she is promised not to Hak, the man who has quietly held her heart for years, but to Rowan, the uncle determined to keep both their families from destroying each other. Caught between duty and desire, Ulyana finds herself trapped between two men from the same bloodline: a longstanding love built in silence and shadows, and a new, unexpected love slowly blooming in the light. As political tensions rise and the Underworld shifts beneath them, Ulyana, Hak, and Rowan are forced into an impossible situation where loyalty, love, and power collide. Each choice threatens to destroy the fragile peace holding Silvercrown together: and no matter who Ulyana chooses, someone she loves will inevitably be left behind.

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?

Yang Hui mysteriously finds himself transported to the world of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, but as a child.

Determined to change all the tragic events that haunt him, Yang Hui believes he’s set everything right, only to discover that the real challenges are only just beginning.

The early chapters focus on Gundam OO, while later arcs introduce super robots and fantasy mechs.)

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

Li Feng was just a regular pervy guy from Earth who somehow landed in a world where cultivators cared way more about the Dao than their own mortal bodies. On his first day, by some crazy luck, he found 35,000 spirit stones on a dead cultivator. He blew 30,000 of those stones just to buy his way into one of the top sects as an outer disciple. After years of grinding and nearly burning through the rest of his stones trying to break through, he’s still stuck at the lowest cultivation level. Now, with only a hundred stones left and his patience running thin, he decides to spend those last stones on a night of mortal pleasure with a cold, distant senior sister who usually doesn’t give a damn about things like that. She agrees ,not because she’s interested, but because the price is hard to say no to. What Li Feng doesn’t realize is that this reckless move give him the chance to finally break free from his bottleneck and change everything. ___ A lot of Smut, No NTR, No Yuri. https://discord.gg/z97rRPN3Wt

[No system, no brainless plot, no female lead, slightly dark, Uchiha-focused, pure Naruto-style story] [Reminder: The protagonist becomes stronger through a gradual process — this is not a brainless power fantasy.] After transmigrating into the Naruto world, he became an unwanted child of the Uchiha clan, and was unexpectedly picked up and raised by the Second Hokage. Experiments. A laboratory. In the dim room, the Second Hokage looked at the child in the container and said with interest: "An Uchiha... such a perfect experimental subject!" ... ...

Jeather died trying to save someone. Gravity disagreed. An orphan, former underground fighter turned priest, he thought his story ended on the twentieth floor of a balcony. Instead, he wakes up in a new world where power comes from sealing monsters into cards—and your social status depends on how scary your beast is. Unfortunately, he starts at the bottom. Fortunately, his “Common-ranked” Verdant Demon doesn’t behave like it read the ranking manual. Now living in the Ardent District inside the body of a disgraced academy student with unfinished grudges, Jeather begins hunting beasts, collecting them like expensive hobbies, and slowly uncovering fragments of betrayal tied to a noble heir named Jefferson and a suspiciously calculating princess. Between slipping in mud, negotiating monster prices, and questioning why he’s slightly addicted to collecting rare creatures, Jeather makes one thing clear: He’s done being the one who falls. In this second life, he will live fully, grow stronger, evolve his demon into something terrifying… —and when the time comes, he won’t just survive the revenge waiting for him. He’ll collect that too.

In a world ruled by Seven Elements, balance comes at a cruel price: one soul must die again and again. Xanthe Aurelisse has lived many lives—but remembers none of them. Born seemingly ordinary, she is haunted by dreams of starlight, death, and a man standing in the dark, calling her name like both a promise and a curse. That man is Sailor Noctyrr Valecrest—an immortal bound to the Void, feared as the gods’ enforcer. For centuries, he has watched Xanthe reincarnate, love, and die… all to sustain a world that feeds on her sacrifice. Xanthe is the Star Soul, bearer of Aether, the origin of all elements. Her rebirth stabilizes magic. Her death renews it. And Sailor—who once defied the gods to save her—was cursed with immortality so he would remember every lifetime she forgot. When fate pulls them together once more, Xanthe’s awakening disrupts the elements themselves. Fire rages, seas rebel, and the gods grow afraid—for when Aether and Void resonate, even divinity can fall. As fragments of her past lives surface and forbidden love blooms again, Xanthe must choose: continue the cycle and save the world, or break it—and doom the elements forever. Because this time, she remembers one thing clearly: She has always loved him. And he has always waited.
