Within five minutes of the first time I met Chase Dubois, he fingered me in my Father's receiving room. My mother was five steps away. He shoved a nearby door open and pulled us inside. “Chase Dubois. Are you trying to take advantage of an innocent girl like me?” His amused eyes found mine. “Yes. I very much plan to, little princess.” He was gone as quickly as he came, leaving me disheveled and furious. Only later, when I saw him sitting calmly in his wheelchair, his eyes tired and cold, did I realize the terrifying truth: This is just a game to him! **** Alpha Chase, the rightful Lycan heir, is bound to a wheelchair and a political marriage. Tilly, a dragon princess, is forced to become his bride to save her dwindling kingdom. But the brutal, passionate alpha who visits her at night bears little resemblance to the quiet prince in the wheelchair during the day. As a coup brews and secrets ignite, Tilly must uncover which version of Chase Dubois is real—and which one is using her as a pawn in a deadly game for power.

In Dwarkam, people are not born equal. Some are born Halocrats, wrapped in power and worship. Some are born Gutterborn, taught to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Zane Atlas was a Gutterborn. Eighteen years old. Hungry. Beaten. Invisible. The world taught him one rule early: Filth shouldn’t look up. When the Golden Slab descended from the sky, it gave power to those who caressed it. Most gained skills. Some gained status. Many gained hope. Zane gained something else. Something that was never meant to awaken. Something that watches before it judges. Something that acts only when survival is at stake. [ Conflux System ] It does not reward obedience. It grows through choices. And it can merge anything Zane owns… including his body, his instincts, and his will to survive. Now Zane walks a thin line between staying alive and being discovered. Between obeying a world that hates him and becoming something it must erase. The churches are watching. The crowns are stirring. The monsters are waking. And Zane is learning one terrifying truth: Sometimes, being chosen is worse than being powerless. ——— ——— ——— Support Me - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5

Previously published as The Uncrowned Paragon. *** John figured death was supposed to mean peace at last. His whole life got wrecked by heartbreak and betrayal and all that loss, so the grave ought to just end it there, right? But no, he wakes in the body of a child, dragged into the clutches of the Obsidian Covenant — a secret order that forges children into weapons. At first, all he wanted was survival. But surrounded by others just as broken, John finds himself pulled into their struggle, swearing to protect what little hope they have left. The god who put him here watches with cruel amusement, torturing him just for the sake of it...or maybe not. If John wants revenge, or even a chance at freedom, he’ll have to rise through the world of Cassiopeia, uncover the secrets binding him to this place, and turn his anger into something sharper than any blade. Peace is gone. Now there’s only the vow: to kill the god. *** I would like to say This story is kind of like a chimera. so, expect it to shift and evolve as the journey unfolds, never bound to a single genre. and although the narrative introduces darker themes, the story evolves beyond them to explore resilience and growth. *** New chapter of The Uncrowned Paragon drops every week—at least one within 7 days, sometimes more. Thanks for reading and stay tuned.

She was sold to a Prince. She was saved by a Beast. ​In the glittering, high-stakes world of the Forest Kingdom, "Violet Noir" was never a person- she was a prize. Sold by her own parents to cover a debt, she was bound by a golden cage to a Prince, a man whose royal title masked a soul of pure, unadulterated evil. On the night of her "wedding," she did the unthinkable: she jumped. ​Running into the freezing night with nothing but the clothes on her back and a voice she was too terrified to use, she falls into the path of a man far more dangerous than any prince. ​Roman Thorne is a titan of industry, a man of cold logic and jagged edges. He doesn't believe in fairy tales, and he certainly doesn't believe in heroes. But when his son was found by the Songbird in a nightclub, things changed. ​He gives her safety, protection and a home. And in return, she gives his young son, Adam, the mother he never had and Roman the one thing he can’t buy: a soul. ​But secrets as dark as Violet’s don't stay buried. As a Prince's shadow looms over the Thorne estate, Roman must decide how much he’s willing to burn to keep her. To the law, she’s a fugitive wife. To the Prince, she’s stolen property. But to Roman Thorne, she is Violet and he will dismantle a kingdom before he lets her fall again.

[WARNING: This book contains adult content.] Soren died liking a comment on a webnovel and woke up inside it, not as the hero, but as the F-rank extra whose beast peed on the Binding Stone in front of the entire academy. [ SYSTEM ALERT ] Host: Soren Kane Rank: F Hidden Trait: [Heart of the Primordial Tamer] Warning: Obsession Index critical. Recommendation: Get stronger quickly. He already knew how the story ended, too bad the story didn't know about him. When his dying beast began a failed evolution mid-dungeon, he performed an illegal soul transfer to save her. The kind that should have killed him. Instead, it unlocked a hidden system trait that every contract he makes produces obsession so deep it doesn't understand mercy toward anyone who looks at him wrong. His "weak" shadow puppy turned out to be a mythic Goddess of Shadows in a very small body. The Obsession Index is measurable and If it maxes out before he's strong enough to handle it, the overflow destroys his soul. Soren has to rank up faster than the women bonded to him can accidentally kill him with devotion. He did not sign up for this! - NO NTR/NO YAOI/NO YURI - OBSESSION/YANDERE - MC SURVIVES BY GETTING STRONGER (his beasts' love literally depends on it)

I had just finished one of the best games I have ever played, only to look up and find I was no longer in my room, but kneeling in the bloody sand of a colossal, sun-baked fighting arena. How did this happen? How did things go from playing a video game to being transported into the body of a background character within the game, who was exonerated and abandoned due to not having as much magical potential as the rest of the family? …A character who was doomed to die a very horrible death right at the beginning of the game?

Enemies-to-Lovers With Bite (KIND OF) At Garrison Academy, power is everything—and Dominic Garrison owns it. As Alpha, king of the halls, and heir to a ruthless legacy, he doesn’t lose control. Not of his pack. Not of his reputation. And certainly not to a plus-size exchange student who refuses to fear him. Kendra Atchinson didn’t come to America looking for romance, destiny, or drama. She came to survive school, protect her friends, and go home untouched. But when fate declares her the Alpha’s mate after a single moment of contact, survival turns into open war. Insults turn into tension. Hate turns into obligation. And when Kendra is badly injured because of Dominic, the punishment is cruelly ironic—he must become her caretaker. Forced proximity, unresolved rage, and a bond neither of them wants slowly unravel the lines they’ve drawn. Because sometimes love doesn’t arrive gently. Sometimes it bites first.

In the war-scarred Arcanen Realm, peace is nothing more than a fragile illusion. For centuries, the Human Kingdom of Wirhan and the Demon Kingdom of Vragxl have waged endless wars, their hatred written in blood and passed down through generations. Meanwhile, the witches of Solaria remain neutral, guarding secrets older than history itself. When a devastating conflict threatens to drive both races to extinction, a desperate treaty is forged, and the heirs of the three kingdoms are sent to the Academy of the Triad—a neutral ground where titles hold no power and ancient magic is sealed. Amelia Ashbourne, the human crown princess, has been raised to despise demons. Agor, the infamous Shadow Prince, is feared across the realm as a monster born of darkness. Forced to stand beneath the same roof, they become unwilling participants in a fragile peace neither truly trusts. But the Academy hides more than political games. Whispers of forgotten prophecies begin to surface. Secrets buried for centuries awaken within the shadows. And beyond the walls, something ancient stirs—a force capable of reducing the three kingdoms to ashes. With rivalries deepening, loyalties tested, and enemies lurking behind smiling faces, Sierra and Agor must decide whether to cling to the hatred that shaped them… Or risk everything for a truth powerful enough to change the fate of the world. Because some bonds are stronger than war. And some prophecies were never meant to remain buried. EXCERPTS She had been so lost in the prose, so consumed by the fictional fire and ice of the hero's touch, that she never heard him approach. "Well, well…" a deep voice drawled from the shadows. "I didn't take you for the type to enjoy such literature, Little Flame." Sierra nearly jumped out of her skin. Standing a few feet away, arms crossed and eyes gleaming with wicked amusement, was Agor. "I-it's just a book," she stammered, clutching it to her chest. "Oh, I'm sure it is." Before she could react, the Shadow Prince plucked the novel from her grasp and flipped through its pages. "Agor!" His smirk deepened. Then, in a low, husky voice that sent heat racing to her cheeks, he read aloud. "'His lips traced down her throat, marking her as his own—'" "Agor! Stop it!" A chuckle rumbled in his chest. "Didn't think you had such interests, Little Flame." Sierra glared at him. "You're insufferable." "And yet," he murmured, stepping closer, dark eyes fixed on her flushed face, "you're still standing here." His gaze dropped briefly to her lips before returning to her eyes. "Tell me, Princess…" He leaned close enough for his breath to brush her ear. "Do the books make you feel something?"

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to a river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling one night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after a concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who had made her life a living hell. Now he held her wrist gently, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story is set in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities. * * * * * Contains few queer characters, messy relationships, slow-burn romance, and some dark themes.
